At tonight's City Council meeting, the governing body will vote on paying $8,068 for the use of Cedar Brook Park for the concert and fireworks. The contract with Garden State Fireworks for $13,500 is also up for a vote.
The business about rescinding a January resolution reprimanding the mayor and adopting a new one was quite unclear Saturday as Dr. Yood and I looked at the packet in the Plainfield Public Library. The new resolution did not seem to be any different than the old one. Turns out R 036-12 was not in the January packet for comparison, but was presented at the Jan 17 meeting. Maybe someone will explain why they need R 222-12 now.
At last Tuesday's agenda-fixing session, City Clerk Abubakar Jalloh explained that there will be a special meeting for liquor license renewals. He removed from the agenda three resolutions that would have covered renewal of all the licenses by category, whether for distribution, consumption or club use of alcoholic beverages.
Three resolutions authorizing events are up for passage tonight. One is for the summer concert series and the Plainwood Idol competition at Plainwood Square. Another would permit "Bike Nights" for the motorcycle community at Hugo's Lounge every Sunday from 3 to 9 p.m. June 24 through Sept. 30. The last would allow an after-party at Hugo's following the parade on July 7 from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Church Street.
A resolution introduced by Councilwoman Rebecca William would recognize Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month in Plainfield. According to a "gay index" at Epodunk.com based on the 2000 Census, Plainfield's gay population is more than double the national average.
Other agenda items have been previously reported on my blog and Dr. Yood's blog, Doc's Potpourri. The meeting is 8 p.m. in Municipal Court, 325 Watchung Ave.

I'm glad they are sprucing up Park and Front, but there is a spot near my driveway at 735 Park, where the yellow paint is almost gone that needs paint. If they give it to me, I'll paint it. People park there and the space between our drive and the house next door is only about five feet. I hope they start painting curbs and lines in the rest of the town, we need it for safety's sake.
ReplyDeleteThere is a need for clear parking lines on West Front St between Grove and Liberty. What a nice project for a high school trigonometry whiz to sketch out and then paint.
