Residents who want to get involved in city affairs will have to make a choice tonight, whether to attend the Board of Education work and study meeting at 8 p.m. in the Plainfield High School cafeteria or the City Council's agenda-fixing session at 7:30 p.m. in Municipal Court
The school board meeting agenda is up on the banner though not under "agendas" on the board link. One item for consideration is a rather astounding assortment of possible field trips for the 2016-17 school year, including restaurants, Drumthwacket, the Great Swamp, parks and museums, nursing homes, churches, Newark Liberty International Airport, colleges, a TV station and more. Another item is authorization to apply for more than $4 million in federal "No Child Left Behind" funds.
Click here for the City Council agenda. One interesting item is a presentation by Rev. Paul Dean on "unity in the City of Plainfield."
A discussion of the Plainfield Rescue Squad is scheduled, in addition to a resolution honoring the squad..
The governing body will also review the audit results and a corrective action plan that they will have to sign off on.
It's time for a tax lien sale, which the council will have to authorize. Dan has already pointed out a resolution for more than $400,000 in adjustments to 317 tax accounts due to county tax board adjustments, a rather large hit on revenues.
Since the last council meeting, the city's eighth homicide has taken place. Norman Deen Muhammad's Plainfield Anti-Violence Coalition is holding a press conference at 1:30 p.m. at the site of the fatal shooting, Hillside Avenue and Berckman Street. Members of the group plan to speak in public comment tonight and next Monday as well.

I'm one of the property owners who applied for a tax adjustment. While luxury apartments seem to be the only thing the powers that be continue to push, I don't want to foot the bill.
