The Committee members, as well as the paid professionals took seats that were well spaced from each other due to the potential contamination from the corona virus.

The Mayor imposed an 8pm curfew due to people congregating and, potentially, spreading the Coronavirus. Parents were reporting that some students that were home due to schools closing were out and about around town.
Proclamations were read into the record due to no recipients to receive them.
An ordinance was adopted that allows the Township to exceed the municipal budget appropriation limits, if needed. Another ordinance was introduced to purchase property on the east side of Hubbard Ave., by Shadow Lake. There will be a public hearing and a vote to approve this purchase on April 6.
Resolutions were adopted to extend contracts for tree trimming, plumbing and electrician services with the current contractors. Other resolutions were adopted to permit the CFO to pay bills if public meetings are cancelled, to reaffirm the townships' opposition to the Northeast gas pipeline that is proposed to run in the Raritan Bay and another to apply for a grant to help the township become more energy sustainable.
