Not much has been going on at the Township Council meetings. At the June 13th conference meeting, and still to date, I have not been able to get agreement on the Community Outreach Committee. At this time, the mission statement is being revised by another Councilman. Perhaps this will facilitate closure on this!
We also had a discussion regarding leaf grinding which had been proposed by a concerned citizen. The Township Engineer had indicated that the notion, under our current process, was not feasible – and that is before we even can deal with the financial aspects. At this time, we consider the matter closed.
At the June 20th meeting, we had a report from the Citizen’s Institute along with presentations to the members at the Regular meeting. The only real discussion held at all was regarding the Christmas Tree sales ordinance and whether to exempt charitable organizations from the permit fee.
On another note, one of the privileges of being on the Town Council is being able to attend special events in the town. So, on Thursday night, June 23, my husband Oliver and I went to Drew University to participate in Project Graduation. Over 450 graduates of Livingston High School attended the event which was held from 11:00 PM to 3:30 AM at the Athletic Center. Graduates enjoyed massages, use of the basketball courts, pool, Texas Hold ‘em tables, and more. And, as a gift from Project Graduation, all the grads received a lovely towel – a memento that they will enjoy. Kudos to the volunteers who participated in this great event!
