Suddenly, a subcommittee is handling this important job.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Subcommittees Should Not Handle Core Functions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">Only the Council can take official actions, such as nominating and voting on members for Statutory Boards. The Council Majority decried the use of subcommittees only to short-circuit the process by using a subcommittee to interview candidates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Transparent Process was Promised to Residents<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">When the current council majority ran, they promised an open process, fully transparent and without subcommittees doing the work of governing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Notifications are mandated but were not sent out<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">The Township Code calls for mailing a notice to everyone submitting an application within the prior 2 years of an opening when Council intends to discuss filling the seats. No mailings were sent out and some residents who had applied received no notification.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Current members were summarily dismissed without consideration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">Prior members who wish to continue service are always afforded an opportunity to speak as to their credentials and experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No vote should have taken place during the nomination process<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">Votes are not permitted at the time nominations occur. The Township&#8217;s procedures call for voting to follow at another meeting (the Mayor called for votes with the nominations, precluding others)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The current Council majority ran on a platform of Transparency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"indent-2\">The notification requirements ensure everyone is aware Council is seeking to fill seats on boards. Interviews allow the full Council to discuss the relative merits of candidates.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why is this important?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Planning Board is embarking on a Master Plan Review which will affect policy for the next 20+ years in Teaneck.<\/li>\n<li>The Zoning Board of Adjustment hears and decides applications as to which Houses of Worship are allowed to be created \/ expanded and which have to sue to ensure rights are respected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">These are positions that affect us all.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can find the link to join and participate via zoom here: Come speak at the meeting and tell\u00a0Council to\u00a0TABLE\u00a0the Resolution!
