DATED: 06/09/09
ANN MARIE EDEN, RMC TOWNSHIP CLERK
COUNCILWOMAN UPDEGRAVE: Made a motion to implement the five-minute rule.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT KAFTON: The five-minute rule allows everyone to speak, but for five minutes.
CLERK EDEN: That’s correct. That can be added to the Consent Agenda that can be considered 247R-09, since we took that off. I have a note here from Einhorn Construction regarding 239R-09. On June 4^{th} I received a letter and distributed it to Council. Einhorn Construction has proposed to complete the work by July 2009. I think that needs to be considered prior to taking any action on the Resolution to commence the draw down.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT KAFTON: Anyone have a problem pulling that off temporarily? Council Vice President Rivere, no. Council President Kafton do we have any homeowners here to speak on this? Can we give her the opportunity to speak? Attorney Gilmore absolutely. Council President Kafton you can make a comment on this.
A WOMAN RESIDENT FROM 4 BEAR TRAIL: When do they propose to complete that? Council President Kafton replied the middle to the end of July. The resident would like to know how many extensions are usually granted in a situation like this? Clerk Eden replied this is the first one. Attorney Gilmore stated you can add a paragraph to the Resolution that no action will be taken unless the work is not done by August 1st that way it does not have to come back again before this Governing Body.
