PMUA Meetings Moved Up an Hour

The Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority, whose officials begged off a September session with the City Council, has changed its monthly meeting time from 7 p.m. to 6 p.m. until its annual reorganization in February 2011.

The change is likely to make it harder for members of a watchdog group, DumpPMUA, to attend. The notice appeared in the Courier News Friday. The change was to have begun with the September 9 meeting, which predated the notice. According to the authority's web site, the next regularly scheduled PMUA Board meeting will be 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 5th at 127 Roosevelt Ave., Plainfield.

The authority may receive three new commissioners in October and a possible reappointment of another. Nominations are expected from Mayor Sharon Robinson-Briggs for advice and consent by the City Council. The governing body meets Oct. 4 for agenda setting and will hold its voting meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 12.

Former Mayor and Councilman Harold Mitchell, chairman of the PMUA board of commissioners, asked the council to defer the proposed joint meeting until after the November general election.
