Notes From the Township Administrator JULY/AUG 2008
The spring and early summer have been very busy for the Township, remediation work continues at Skillman Village. While simultaneously the Planning staff is working on redevelopment, having sent out the request for proposals to the short list of developers Back to Nature, Sharbell and Tarragon, we await their responses.
One need only to look back one year and think about how much has changed at Skillman Village. The removal of the 600,000 square feet of buildings and the restoration of the grounds show the beauty of the site.
Energy costs continue to rise and are having a serious impact on the Townships ability to provide various services. The impacts are being felt in the Police, Public Works, and Finance departments as well as the Sewer Utility.
The costs of diesel fuel and gasoline are impacting how we maintain our infrastructure, parks, ball fields, open space, roads and roadsides.
The cost of paving materials have increased over 25%, making difficult to afford to make repairs to our roads damaged by the very wet winter. The Police Department is putting more officers and bike patrol and trying to use police cars less to save fuel.
The Sewer Utility has had to absorb the increased costs of chemicals and electricity vital to the treatment of wastewater. And lastly the Finance Department has been working very hard to monitor our budget and prognosticate what will need to be appropriated in 2009 to cover the ever rising cost of energy. Needless to say we are all very concerned about how the Township will be able to maintain service levels given the impact of energy costs. I will use future columns to keep you informed about this situation.
Change is coming to the Montgomery Police Department; Director Michael A. Beltranena, Jr. will be leaving to be replaced by a Captain/Director promoted from within the ranks of the department.
Director Beltranena was instrumental in guiding and working with his staff preparing for this transition. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the Director for his seven years of loyal service to the Township of Montgomery and its residents. He always put the interests of the community foremost in his thoughts. He will me missed and leaves big shoes to fill.
I also want to take this opportunity to wish outgoing Interim Superintendent of Schools Sam Stewart all my best. I have known Dr. Stewart for almost fifteen years having first met him when he was the Superintendent of the South Brunswick Township Schools and I was the South Brunswick Township Administrator.
Sam and I worked together on many projects in South Brunswick including the construction of a new high school, elementary school, and middle school expansion. He brought that same energy and enthusiasm to Montgomery as the interim superintendent and it was a pleasure to work with him again. I look forward to working with our new superintendent Mr. Kim as much as I enjoyed working with Dr. Stewart.
