Monday's Barnegat Township Committee Meeting agenda was light, but there were still some important things announced over the course of the two-hour meeting. Here are five things you need to know if you missed Monday's meeting.

1. The Lower Shore Softball Field's Grand Opening takes place this Saturday, June 9. The festivities begin at 9 a.m.
