  2. Are the brand new cars the township is getting rid of going to be giving away as perks or will they be sold for full market value?

    2. What lot did Chemed have access to when they got approved for their application? Did they even say a specific lot or they just said we have access if we need and the township just took their word. I assume the latter that is pretty pathetic as I just passed by their building and their lot is full apparently they need more parking. I want to know Was there even a lot or they just made it up?

  5. The bigger question is why every other township gets cars for their police force but Lakewood buys strictly SUVs? The one snowfall that we get a year does not warrant spending hundreds of thousands dollars
