TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE

WORKSHOP AGENDA

MARCH 9, 2006

March 3, 2006 draft

Workshop public meetings are held primarily for the Mayor and Committee to discuss issues informally.  These issues will in most cases be resolved at a subsequent regular public meeting by a formal vote either to pass a resolution or adopt an ordinance.  Regular public meetings are normally held the second Thursday of each month.  The Township Committee may, however, pass a resolution, introduce an ordinance, and, if advertised, adopt an ordinance at a workshop meeting if warranted.
