Mayor Michael Reina- We are all aware of it and will contact the Chief of Police and bring it to his attention. Chief Kunz is well aware of the buses turning around.

Ms. Hannum had asked for information through OPRA for 27 and 29 Cedar Swamp Road and did not receive what she requested. Ms. Hannum stated that she did communicate with the Clerk’s Office, but here issue is with the Code Enforcement office. Attorney Mcgukin stated the Township Clerk is the person who is responsible for issuing OPRA responses. Ms. Hannum stated that Code Enforcement had all the papers, she went home and OPRA requested what she saw in their office. She asked who they answer to. Council President Kern replied that they answer to Administration and the Mayor. Ms. Hannum stated there’s a lot of lack of enforcement of our ordinances.

Ms. Hannum’s next question involved 16 Short Hills Boulevard and she asked if AirB&Bs are allowed in Jackson. Councilman Sauickie responded that an ordinance was passed last year for no short term rentals or VRBOs for less than 30 days in Jackson. Ms. Hannum said it was advertised on Google. Councilman Sauickie knew for sure that any violations reported to VRBO or AirB&B resulted in the ads taken down, and Google could be advised as well. Ms. Hannum wanted to know what is being done to enforce the quality of life that is a priority in Jackson.

Attorney Greg Mcgukin had information on the address and stated it was investigated and there is no violation of the current ordinance. There was an investigation, there are people living in the house, they are allowed to live in the house and they're not in violation of anything.

Ms. Hannum then asked what is being done with 71 East Connecticut Concourse. Attorney McGuckin stated it is under review in his office. She then asked about One Everett and Attorney McGuckin stated it's under review. Ms. Hannum was unsettled about the responses and proceeded to say how nothing is done and there the town is unresponsive. Attorney McGuckin disagreed, stating there were investigations, she did receive answers but did not like the responses, and because she did not agree with the responses, she is saying the town is unresponsive. She asked for a special phone number to reach Code Enforcement after hours. Those calls would have to go through the Police Department.
