TC MEETING OF PROCLAMATIONS, PROMOTIONS, BUT ONLY THREE MEMBERS

Barely a quorum at the TC meeting Tuesday

The Township Committee on Tuesday night welcomed a long list of guests as they issued proclamations for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Fire Prevention Week, honoring Our Lady of Sorrows Church for 125 years, and supporting Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Three police officers were also given promotions, Auxiliary  Lt. Joseph Yacenda, Lt. Kevin Kisch and Sgt. Scott Thomas.

Mayor Vic De Luca also formally announced that Maplewood Village had won the New Jersey Monthly Downtown Showdown, something he had pushed hard for during the recent weeks of online voting. "I'm going to keep mentioning that until I get tired of it, which may be never," he said.

Two of the five TC members, Jerry Ryan and Marlon Brownlee, were absent.

We will have more from the meeting later today.
