COUNCILMAN FLEMMING-congratulated Mr. Vigilante on his retirement and wished him well.
COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT KERN – congratulated Mr. Vigilante on his retirement. On the agenda we have a resolution to add a question on the ballot for November in regards to increasing the open space fund. The funds would be used for historical preservation, and farmland preservation which currently is not included. This 2020 Council has been clear since the beginning in its intent to continue our open space policy. We will protect our town against overdevelopment. In 2004 the open space fund was increased and then lowered due to the recession in 2010. We can submit a resolution for the increase in the open space fund but the council prefers to let voters to decide on Election Day. The Historical Preservation will allow us to preserve land such as Rova Farms, which the Township purchased last year. The land will be utilized by all residents and our residents can be proud of for generations to come. The council’s intent until November, is to spend our open space funds on properties we are already working to acquire. These types of land are in line with protecting Jackson and overdevelopment.
TOWNSHIP CLERK KISTY- reminded residents 2020 Census will be held this year and encouraged residents to complete the census online at 2020census.gov. The information provided is completely confidential and it is important for everyone to be counted.
