Ironically, someone sent a comment about the Downtown area and the Transit Village to the Matawan Advocate, the night of the Borough Council Workshop meeting. They were asking if any mention of these topics were presented at the Borough Council meeting. Well, the Mayor must have ESP, because at last night's meeting Mayor Buccellato diverted from the scheduled Agenda. He opened up a discussion between the Borough Attorney and the Borough Administrator regarding revising the process for which businesses obtain licenses in the Borough. Following a short discussion it was decided to move forward with a revision to be introduced at the next regular Council meeting for a vote. This should revise the current old process and make it easier for businesses to obtain licenses. It is about time Matawan encouraged new businesses. A step in the right direction.
Another topic of interest was the Borough employees Health Insurance coverage. Quite frankly, we have to dig a little deeper into this subject before making any comment.
Bill List did not have any Council members firms or family owned firms listed for payment.
More to follow on the Health Insurance.
Hope to see you at the regular scheduled Borough Council Meeting....
