Mayor
Doyle noted the recent Recreation Advisory Committee meeting. He stated they wanted to go back to a Country
Fair. He noted it was a heavy lift. Committeeman DeBaecke noted there is a book
concerning it and it would take time to build up a vendor list. He believes it is a great idea but would be a
big lift. Mayor Doyle stated they are
looking for Easter Egg Hunt for April 16th, Memorial Day parade for
May 25th, the Summer Fair June 25th, Movie night
September 17th, Trunk or Treat October 21st, rain date
October 22nd and the tree lighting December 2nd. The Township Committee expressed concern over
the amount of work for the Fair but does not want to discourage a smaller
version. Mayor Doyle inquired if funds
would be available for the DCA recreation grant for field improvements. Engineer Hirsh stated he would look into it. Mayor Doyle inquired if a “splash down” would
be permissible. Attorney Roselli stated
there is always a concern over liability.
Mayor Doyle also noted the request to call North Hanover sports teams
the “pups”. After discussion, there was
no objection.
TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE “COMMENTS”
Deputy Mayor Forsyth noted
the Governor signed bills into law for Farmland Preservation incentives. He also stated there have been problems
getting Recycling picked up at the Waste facility and asked for patience. Committeeman Kocubinski noted the current
program was not netting appropriate offers to the farmers. He also gave a history on the PIG grants.
Mayor Doyle noted budget time
was approaching. He asked the Committee
to begin putting thoughts together concerning capital projects and keep in mind
inflation is affecting everything. He
noted with rising fuel, EMS issues, cost of police cars and the new tipping
fees are going to require tough decisions to be made. He expressed his sympathies to Engineer Hirsh
and his family on his recent loss.
