Residents raise concerns about truck traffic, revaluation notices and sewer-authority stipends
Summary
During public comment, residents asked the township to survey flooding-prone parcels, complained about heavy truck traffic and obstructed signage, reported an incorrect revaluation notice, and questioned mayoral appointments and stipends for the Sewer Authority; officials responded on the record.
Multiple residents addressed the Township Committee during public comment on Sept. 18. Amy Secreto thanked Ms. Shaw and asked about rescheduling the Foam Party; she also requested surveying of problematic properties, including Grand View Court, to address flooding concerns. "Requested update on rescheduling the Foam Party," she said, and was told it would likely be held in warmer months.
Amy Tighe told the committee she was "disappointed...with the way he conducts himself as a mayor" and questioned how Mayor Brown and Mr. Bomba were paid stipends for the Sewer Authority and how they obtained those positions; Mayor Brown replied that the positions were mayoral appointments. Kelly Johnston reported increased truck traffic on Harding Highway and that a southbound bridge sign is obstructed by overgrowth; Chief VanNamee said he will discuss larger signs with Public Works. A resident also said they received a revaluation notice in someone else's name; Mr. Pelura said he would follow up with the tax assessor.
