ReplyDeleteHow much do township committee members get paid and do they have official hours or responsibilities?
ReplyDeleteHah! We pay them much more than they should be getting. In fact, earlier this year they voted for a huge raise for themselves and threw in expensive benefits while they were at it. No, there are no official hours. They make their own schedules.
DeleteTheir responsibility is to run this town for the benefit of the residents, but they're not doing a poor job.
For a recent example, just two weeks ago they introduced an ordinance which would legalize banquet halls in almost every section of town - including residential areas - but they barely required any parking for these banquet halls. The absurdly low number of parking spaces the halls will need to provide will destroy the traffic situation and leave many private driveways blocked. The guest cars will be forced to park on sidewalks after driving around for 20 minutes and still finding nowhere to park, so they can go in to participate in the event. The roads will turn into one huge parking lot, so banquet hall operators can make a nice profit off the backs of innocent residents.
When residents tried talking to the committee members, they simply responded that we should talk to the planning board members instead because they're supposed to make a recommendation to the committee about this proposed ordinance. But the committee refused to explain they introduced this ridiculous proposal in the first place. The planning board cannot make any recommendation until after the committee first introduces an ordinance. This is just another example of our committeeman shirking their responsibility and trying to blame others for what they cause.
Oh, and let’s not forget that we cannot even talk to the planning board members about this because no public comments are allowed when the board reviews a proposed ordinance. So, the bottom line is that the committee uses various tactics to IGNORE the resident’s concerns from being heard. So, once we vote them in, they will ignore us until right before the next election where they’ll make all sorts of promises again – which will be duly ignored right after they get elected.
Any other questions?
What promises? They don't even do that!
DeleteAll shuls in town should make a kiddush when the current committee members being a memsheles zadon get voted out.
