Busy Week Ahead, So Enjoy the Weekend
The City Council resumes its regular schedule this month, starting with an agenda session Tuesday due to the Monday holiday. The agenda session is 7:30 p.m. in City Hal Library, 515 Watchung Ave. The regular meeting will be 8 p.m. Thursday in Municipal Court, 325 Watchung Ave.
The city’s web site is being revised to include council agendas, among other things. But if the agenda isn’t posted Tuesday, copies will be available at the City Clerk’s office in City Hall.
Despite a lot of discussion early on, the council was not able to agree on a new calendar for 2007 and by default stuck with the 2006 one they said they didn’t like. The council formerly met for decades on Mondays only, except when federal holidays pushed the meeting to Tuesday. Last year, the council came up with a schedule where the agenda sessions falls on the first and third Mondays of each month, with the regular meetings on Wednesdays of the same week.
This week’s regular meeting clashes with the Planning Board, which meets at 8 p.m. Thursday in City Hall Library. (It would have been the same under the old schedule.)
Municipal government mavens will have to pick one or the other.
There is also a Board of Adjustment meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in City Hall Library. And on Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m., the mayor will speak at the Senior Center. According to the center newsletter, Assemblyman Jerry Green will also talk about property tax credit guidelines for all tenants and homeowners, not just for seniors. The center is at 305 East Front Street.
Also next week, the first day of school is Thursday and the 44th Annual Plainfield Outdoor Festival of Art will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in Library Park. The city needs volunteers to help out at the art festival and six neighborhood get-togethers at playgrounds that day. Call (908) 753-3097 if you can spare some time.
So have a great weekend and be ready for a busy week starting Tuesday!
