ANN MARIE EDEN, RMC TOWNSHIP CLERK

TOWNSHIP CLERK EDEN: She explained that Resolution 86R-03 which approves the appointment of Matthew Thompson as Alternate Municipal Prosecutor, has a typo in the bottom paragraph. Mr. Thompson’s name appears as Harrison.

ATTORNEY STARKEY: He explained that he just noticed that in the first paragraph of this Resolution it states that this contract provides payment of $200 per client. That's not the way the Township does this for Alternate Municipal Prosecutors. The way it works is if the Municipal Prosecutor is unable to make it and the Alternate fills in then the Municipal Prosecutor pays the Alternate. So he recommended a deletion of that.
