Would like to know when the township is going to clean up the graffiti that was reported to them twice in Dec. and Jan? It is on the street post,sidewalk and wooden wall at the end of Jefferson and Cleveland,also on the stop sign at Access and Hendrickson and on the mailbox at Hendrickson and E. Franklin . I was told that as soon as it is pointed out to them, they clean it up right away. I guess because these streets are not main streets, we are forgotten about.

Thanks for posting this Anon, maybe now it will be cleaned up.

So I was watching the news today regarding the economic stimulus plan to see if any details would be released as far as state aid. In the interim, a report came on about Rahm Emmanuel's book and his feelings that our youth (18-25) should perform a "community service" by going through training and serving their community's needs. I am curious if you or anyone else has heard tell of this coming to reality since EP has now re-enacted its neighborhood watch and is looking to involve more youth in the program. Curiosity got the better of me wondering if there is any link between the two. Any insight you have to share?

Thanks

T.

BTW, I received the initial notice of the neighborhood watch program reinstatement via a letter sent home with my child from school.

Thank you "T." for your question and hopefully someone will post answers to your questions.

When Will The Edgewater Park Township Closed Session Minutes be Available?

Does anyone know if the Township Clerk has released any of the minutes for any of the Township Committee's Executive (Closed) Sessions that have taken place during the past year?

Our local officials, are they breaking the Sunshine law?

What Minutes?

Much of  the business conducted by our Township Committee, occurs in Executive Session.  The NJ Public Meetings Law and State Court rulings have been very clear about the time frame Executive Meeting are to be made public and our Clerk needs to correct this over site. If this doesn't change, I will pass on this information to John Paff who has brought suit against many NJ Municipalities who have refused to comply with the law. You can read about his efforts at http://www.lpcnj.org/OGTF/PGSuit.pdf.

It would be very helpful if the Township would post the agenda for all meetings of township committees, boards and authorities as well as the minutes. This would not cost anything and would help with lowering copy cost for the required public copies. I think this idea was a campaign promise.

Let me know if you are aware of any Executive Session Minutes that were made available to the public last year at edgewaterparkreporter@yahoo.com.

Just The Facts On "The Green Cafe" Edgewater Park Planning Bd. Approvials

A Customer/Visitor

anxiously waiting for the Green Cafe to open so he can get his Double Mocha Latte, as he makes his way from the Light Rail Station to the Factory. He stated that the new street scape lighting is f---ed up and wanted to know how EP could do a worse job locating them then his hometown Trenton. I had no answer.

To AnonymousGuessWhoMr. L, whose 1/9, 1/10 and  1/11 comments to the 1/7/09 Post about "The Cooper St Farm and New Restaurant", the following is the factual response. 

I guess that AnonymousGuessWhoMr. L, must be having trouble with the facts of what is in the approved Resolution No. P-19-2008 MOORE.

   

I received a copy of the Edgewater Park Township Planning Board's December 18, 2008 Resolution No. P-19-2008, Moore Block 205, Lot 5 .

The vote by the Planning Board for this resolution was; 8 yes, 0 no and 0 Abstaining. The following Planning Board Members voted yes; Vincent Albano, Aimee Belgard, Raymond Graziani, Judy Hall, Marian Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Dave Levay and Charles Robinson.

The resolution on page 2, #2, page 3, #12a, and page 5 #3 clearly state that the Edgewater Park Planning Board approved the "limited basis check cashing use". That is the real story! So who is misinformed?

I received information that the "New Edgewater Park Sewerage Authority Executive Director/Licensed Operator is making $60,000. 

This means that he is making almost double what the former Administrator was paid. If he is the Licensed Operator, why is the Authority paying the Willingboro MUA to do the duties that were done by the former Operator?

Residents, when are we going to hold our Boards, Authorities, Commissions and Elected Officials accountable for the large tax and fee increases, we have been blessed with?

Some Old Ads For Apartments in Edgewater Park

Ahh.... the good old days.

Thought you might get a kick out of these Ads from the papers in 1964 and 1967.

Say, did you pay your, the decisions made last year by the Sewer Board, will not increase your sewer tax statement made by Chairman Levay- 2009 Sewer Tax? I guess the increase was not an increase based on the Chairman's statement.

Comming up in a future Post; the top 10 list of who is in control of Edgewater Park and a new Edgewater Park Royal Family List.

Did you you get your food supplies for the BIG Trace of SNOW STORM?

The Cooper St Farm and New Restaurant

The Corner of Cooper and Green Street (Old Beverly Bank Building) will soon be open as a restaurant, retail store and check cashing operation. The Edgewater Park Planning Board gave approval last month that will allow the owners Carol and William Moore to start operating the businesses 30 days after board approval. 

It will be good to see that Carol and Bill are following up on several of my suggestions made in Post I did last year;  http://edgewaterparkhappenings.blogspot.com/2008/02/what-edgewater-parl-selective-ordinance.html  and http://edgewaterparkhappenings.blogspot.com/2008/05/edgewater-park-budget-talk.html

To bad the township committee didn't and hence they blessed us with another tax increase.

Can anyone tell us if this new business applied for the new business tax abatement on improvements?

The Edgewater Park Reporter Is Back! Happy New Year

Edgewater Park Home Sales for the past six (6) years 

I hope everyone had a healthy, safe and enjoyable holiday season and I hope you have the same for your new year.

I was away for the past month and now that I am rested ready to resume with keeping the residents informed and entertained with the happenings in Edgewater Park as well as our neighbors.

Upon returning this weekend I found the following story and thought you would be interested in this item from NJ.com

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/01/report_nj_may_consider_driving.html

It is just one example of  how we are losing control of  our government. The next thing you will see is the elected officials will approve unemployment payments and Family Leave to undocumented (illegal) immigrants.

I thought that if you entered this country illegally, you were breaking the law. If you are breaking the law, why should you receive a "driver privilege cards" from any state. 

This is just another example of our elected officials trying to buy the votes to stay in office, at the expense of hard working legal taxpayers. I hope those of you who have lost your jobs or your savings understand our Governor is more interested in getting re-elected this year and not in your plight.

My congratulations to Donna Mount (Atzert) and Kevin Johnson on being appointed Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Edgewater Park for 2009. I hope that they will have better success in controlling the Administrator and the mismanagement that has caused the Willingboro like tax increases of the past ten (10) years.

Oh, did you get your new Sewer Bill? Gee, Mr. Sewer Authority Chairman, what is your definition of  "no sewer tax increases"?
