Brick Residents Sought For Township's Committees

BRICK, NJ — If you have ever wanted to give input on what is happening in Brick Township and play a role in shaping what is going on, here is your opportunity.

Brick Township residents are invited to send in a resume and cover letter to join the township's boards and committees, which deal with issues from the environment to historic preservation to the local senior citizen housing complex.

"They (the boards) offer citizens the opportunity to give back and help move Brick Township forward,” Mayor John G. Ducey said. “I encourage any person interested in serving our community to send their resume to my office this week. Every person will be considered and we will make every effort to make sure everyone who would like to serve has the opportunity to do so."

The deadline to submit your letter and resume is Thursday, Dec. 14.

There are upcoming appointments available for the following boards/committees:

• Environmental Commission: responsible for the protection, development and use of natural resources, including water resources located within the township.
• Brick Township Housing Authority: The Brick Housing Authority administers both a public housing and Section 8 housing voucher program.
• Historic Preservation Commission: works to encourage the use, restoration and preservation of historic structures in Brick Township.
• Sustainable Brick: works with the township staff to create and support policies, events and activities that support and encourage sustainability.
• Board of Adjustment: primary function is to review and decide on applications for a variance.
• Ethics Committee: receives and reviews ethical questions or complaints alleging that the conduct of any local government officer or employee serving the municipality is in conflict with the Code of Conduct, or applicable ethical standard.
• Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority: The BTMUA is responsible for delivering clean, safe drinkable water and reliable sewage collection services to customers.

"Anyone interested in serving should send their resume with a cover letter by December 14 to make sure they are considered," Ducey said.

Resumes and cover letters should be emailed to mayor@twp.brick.nj.us no later than 5 p.m. on Dec. 14. While efforts will be made to place citizens on requested boards, it will not be possible in all instances due to availability.
