9-6-12 Township Committee Meeting

There was another meeting of the Middletown Township Committee last week. The monthly workshop meeting took place on September 6th and unlike previous meetings fthus far this year, which have lasted less than 45 minutes, this one lasted an hour and and actually had some news come out of it.    Here are the highlights: 

• Township Planner Jason Greenspan gave a discription of the zoning change for the Red Hill Rd. office site. Sloan-Ketering wants to occupy the site with outpatient services like a surgical center, cancer treatment center and offices. He suggested reviewing other ofice facilities around town so medical facilites will come in to occupy them.
• Jason Greenspan explained that since the Township bought 2 garbage trucks that run on natural gas a filling facility will be installed at Kanes Ln. He said NJNG wants to install a regional facility there to accomodate other towns.
• Jason Greenspan spoke about how Rutgers is going to come in and do another study on how Belford fishing facility can be used.
• A resolution will be presented at the next meeting to appoint a Deferred Compensation Benefits Plan Administrator.
• Tony Mercantante said that drainage projects are included in the capital budget, but there are small jobs that need to be done and can be done outside the capital budget and can be engineered by Ted Maloney.
• A resolution will be voted on at the next meeting to appoint members of the Economic Development Committee

Make sure to watch and listen to the Public Comments portion of the meeting, it is alway informative and enlightening to hear what is on the minds of residents.
