February 17, 2015 Middletown Township Committee Meeting

The video of the February 17th Middletown Township Committee meeting is now available for viewing, the meeting lasted less than 30 minutes.

The highlights include:

The swearing in of a new police officer and new auxiliary police officers and a life saving award was presented to two men.

Three new ordinances were adopted to allow liquor license establishments to be located within 500 feet of each other, allow the police force to patrol the new Sloan Kettering property and reduce the fees for returned checks.

It was learned that the township has been overcharging for returned checks for years. Nobody on the governing body, nor the township attorney could say when the state passed this law that established fees for returned checks and did not consider compensating those who were charge excess fees over the years for they did not think there were ever any checks returned.

Four new ordinances were introduced and will have public hearings and votes for adoption on March 16.

Committee Comments begin at 23:26 - Neither Tony Fiore or Kevin Settembrino had any thoughts to share. Steve Massell still doesn't have an original thought in his head stating that he "Echoes" everything that Gerry Scharfenberger had said.

Public Comments begin at 27:30 -  only one member of the public to speak.

Attached to this agenda is also the monthly bill list, so that everyone can see how the Township is spending our tax dollars.
