As Clerk of this meeting, I publicly announce that in compliance with the provisions of the “Open Public Meetings Act” adequate notice of this meeting of the Jackson Township Committee has been advertised in the manner prescribed by law. This statement shall be entered into the Minutes of this meeting.

DEPUTY MAYOR GIBLIN: He read from a proclamation declaring the week of February 9th through February 15, 2003 as FBLA-PBL week in Jackson Township.

MA #13-03 – ALARM REVIEW BOARD – KEVIN DeGESU – Commencing immediately and ending December 31, 2003.

COMMITTEEMAN BRODERICK: He thanked everyone for coming. He then stated that the Emergency Management Group, which he is the liaison for, has done a number of things over the past couple of weeks. In the near future he will be bringing updates on Homeland Security along with a number of different issues that is going on within the infrastructure of the Township. In closing, he told everyone to get home safely.

COMMITTEEMAN GRISANTI: He thanked everyone for coming out and waived his comments.

COMMITTEEMAN REILLY: He too thanked everyone for coming and then stated as a former member and a past president of Jackson FBLA he realizes how hard the students work and congratulated the entire membership on their achievements. At the last meeting the Mayor and the Committee presented an idea on improving the efficiency of our Building Department and increasing turnaround on pools, fences, sheds, etc. This issue was in fact an important part of his platform which he campaigned on last year. He congratulated Mr. Kafton and the rest of the Committee for taking direction from information brought forward by his campaign. While they may disagree on how these ideas are implemented it is important that action was taken on the idea itself. He said he looks forward to having more input on this topic. Tonight the Committee will be taking action on another topic that was brought forward by his campaign last year. This ordinance will prohibit vehicles over 4 tons from traveling on certain roads in Jackson. These ideas improve the efficiency of government and the safety of the community. He complemented the Committee for recognizing and acting on some good ideas and he is glad that his campaign and presence on this Committee influenced the decision making of the majority.

DEPUTY MAYOR GIBLIN: He congratulated the FBLA on a job well done and waived further comments in light of the comments his fellow Committeemen made, some true and some false, but will waive his comments and let the public digest the truth.
