PUBLIC COMMENT - Marceline Eachus of Pittsgrove Township asked about the tower resolution (R2000-124) passed earlier in the evening. Director Sparks commented on the resolution's policy.
Peter Voros of Pittsgrove Township enquired about a county library and that grants are available. Director Sparks spoke of the public libraries and said the Library Commission determined there is neither a need nor funding available for a countywide library.
Cheryl Chambers of Pittsgrove Township asked if there were any Pittsgrove Tower decisions made this evening. Director Sparks said no action was taken on placing apparatus on the tower. He said the Resolution amended the existing agreement with the municipality that the County will initially review applications for co-location to determine whether co-location would interfere with Emergency Services requirements, which is the priority concern. After that, the township will consider the merits of the application.
Kirk Craver of Pittsgrove supported usage of the present Pittsgrove tower as a ratable.
Peter Voros of Pittsgrove wanted the latest Pittsgrove tower lease language.
Mayor Linda DuBois of Pittsgrove commented on the various policy changes. County Counsel Michael Mulligan said he has not received anything yet on language changes. Mr. Mulligan continued that both the County and Pittsgrove Township must consent to any new appliances and that this issue is separate from the placement of the tower.
Valerie Nagy of Pittsgrove asked if Nextel (a cellular phone company) was approved? Mayor DuBois said that Nextel was not approved. Ms. Nagy spoke about usage of the tower.
Teresa Challow of Porchtown Road said to use the existing Pittsgrove Tower and not construct another.
Larry Niedzialek had the same comment as Ms. Challow.
Marceline Eachus made comments about placement of the Pittsgrove Tower.
Fred Laning said to reserve prime places on the tower for future County and township needs.
There was no further public comment and Director Sparks closed the public portion.
Motion was made by Mr. Kugler to adjourn the meeting, with Mr. Facemyer seconding. There being no questions on the motion, all Freeholders said "Aye" for a 6/0 vote. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
