May 6, 2019 Middletown Township Committee Meeting


I failed to post videos from the past couple of months of video postings of the Middletown Township Committee here on the blog. Today I am posting the the May 6th workshop meeting. Interestingly, when i first saw this video a few days ago I notices that the meeting took place in the court house as opposed to the small conference room next to the Clerk's office. I'm assuming it was because the Township Committee adopted the 2019 fiscal budget at this meeting and they wanted to have extra room incase there was a bigger than normal turnout due to the budget adoption.

Anyway, here are the highlights from the meeting, but please watch the video (it's only 29 minutes long), it's alway enlightening to hear what members of the Committee and public have to say when giving comments:

  • The governing body voted to approve the 2019 budget.
  • An ordinance was adopted to sell various properties around town. An auction date was also adopted to set the date of the auction to May 22.
  • Resolutions adopted include authorizing fireworks displays to Navesink Country Club on 5-26 and 7-3, Riverview Foundation on 7-3 and to Beacon Hill Country Club on 7-3.
  • Discussion items included planting a tree at Bodman Park in honor of Bill Coyle and to modify the procedure to elect Fire Dept. officials. It was said that the current procedure is too restrictive.



As always you can download a copy of the Meeting Agenda that contains the discussion items and the proposed resolutions and ordinances that were voted on or presented during the meeting. A box around an item is a link, bringing you further into the document to that resolution or ordinance. At the end of the resolution there will be a link bringing you back to the agenda. Attached to this agenda is also the monthly bill list, so that everyone can see how the Township is spending our tax dollars.
