TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON, OCEAN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY REQUESTING A ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF TIME (FROM 2/21/03 TO 2/21/04) FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO BASSO STREET (MUNICIPAL AID GRANT)
COMMITTEEMAN REILLY: He asked if he could get an explanation of why the extension was needed? He then asked why this wasn’t completed already? Mayor Kafton replied that this was a formality, they will be paving these roads, but if they don’t get an extension they could lose the grant. He later added that the grant didn’t supply for the entire cost of the project and they have to come up with the difference. Deputy Mayor Giblin explained that the original grant expires in February 2003. This extension gives them an additional year to do this. He went on to explain that they also received a grant for Vath Street and they thought it was in their best interest to put this under one bid. They then combined these two projects. The time constraint last year didn’t allow them to do it before the close of the mills.
