Back to Business at Lakewood Township Committee

 It was back to business as usual at the monthly 10 minute virtual township committee meeting with the township raising some taxes on the budget  and vacating streets. Committee members sat silently throughout and didn't address any of the issues or make any comments to the public. 

Yesterday's meeting went a bit longer than the usual 10 minute meetings as attorneys called in regarding a liquor license renewal for Lake Terrace. 

At the public comment section several residents emailed the committee about issues around town
The rent control board  that was demolished 8 years ago came up again following the litigation of Prime Apts. Mayor Coles indicated that the township has no plans to bring back the rent control board and the STEPs organization has been doing a fantastic job settling disputes bet renters and landlords. The Mayor boasted that Lakewwood has the least landlord - tenant issues 

 An Albert area resident  complained about streets lights that have been out for over a year despite calls to township officials and JCP&L the mayor was quick to put the blame on jcp&L 

Another resident reached out  about the road closures during busy times such as yomim tovim and Chanukah when Drake rd was closed. The mayor again deflected any criticism and said they work hard to have construction projects done when roads are not busy but sometimes emergencies come up.

A resident emailed about the many accidents at the corner of Hope chapel and  W County LIne rd with a suggestion to help avoid the daily mash ups the mayor had engineering take a look and reach out to the county

On the consent agenda committeeman Lichtenstein recused himself from voting on several items due to conflict of interest. 

FAA news reports on some of the unseemingly items voted on  was tax cuts for friends  as lakewood township officials pull out all the stops to secure lucrative tax breaks for two office buildings on Pine st, despite the Planning Board previously rejecting this proposal, and despite there being some annoying red tape at the State level full story Here
