Carneys Point committee notes ongoing animal control probe and outlines high‑grass enforcement process
Summary
The committee said it will not act on an animal control matter pending a Prosecutor's Office investigation; officials also explained the township's high‑grass complaint process and instructed residents to report issues to the municipal office.
Mayor Brown and committee members addressed public concern about an Animal Control incident in Salem involving a deceased pit bull, saying the Prosecutor's Office is investigating and the township will not take action until that process is complete.
"We are doing nothing until the investigation is complete," the minutes record. The committee also described the township's high‑grass enforcement: residents receive two ten‑day notices; if the property remains uncut, Public Works schedules a mowing and the tax office places a lien on the property.
On potholes and roadside maintenance raised in public comment, Mayor Brown and committee members said county roads require a letter to the county for repairs; committee members pledged to follow up on specific resident reports recorded in the meeting minutes.
