BIG TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE MEETING TONIGHT: FROM LEAF BLOWERS TO POOL FEES, AND MORE

The Township Committee has a pretty lengthy agenda for tonight's meeting, with issues ranging from pool fees to portable storage unit restrictions.

Oh yeah, and of course, leaf blowers.

See the full agenda HERE. 

Among the items being considered are:

* An ordinance to expand the summer leaf blower ban and institute hourly limits year round. See more on that HERE.

* An ordinance that would place restrictions on portable storage units, or PODS, in town. Details HERE.

* Approval of Maplewood Pool fees for 2017 that will include a new weekend-only discount.

* A change to the No Turn On Red restriction at Baker Street on to Valley Street, which will allow such turns between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

The TC will also introduce the 2017 fiscal budget. See the background on that HERE.

And, of course, you can speak at public comment. So show up, give them a piece of your mind, ask a question, or just a pat on the back.

Remember, they work for you!

The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall, 576 Valley St.
