This is a rehash of the prior article; no additional information other than a few more quotes. Instead of talking about this in the public forum (which I wonder why) just get the committee together and come up with a policy. Better yet go back to the original ordinance and revise that instead of these "policies" that circumvent the ordinance established.

No wonder nothing gets done at the Federal and State levels. If local governments can't sit down and get this one thing done without all the rhetoric how in the world can be expect larger governing bodies to do anything for a much greater population.

Just give King a car and take away Marshalls and get it over with. This "justification" smokescreen is a joke. And when the new Twp Administrator comes up with who is allowed, the whole committee will be surprised, right? Lol. The newest puppet already has his orders.

Looks like someone deleted my message, I wonder who, do not know why, all I said was the truth about the tax bills being late and they blamed Burlington County, did not get mine until Sept 25 and they were do Aug 1 and U want them to figure out how to chat with each other....who are U kidding, politics is a good job, someone should have told me that....

Ric, they asked seniors to volunteer to stuff the envelopes for a few days.

I just filled the survey, Interesting ! 50% of our residents don't give a damm about thier home, family or their own lives. Absolutely amazing, Our first and formost Chief of Police simply stated in the early 70's, "The Twp Committee don't give a damm, the Residents don't give a damm, why the hell should we, they don't want us do our job. Don't answer the phone.

..

Tax bills couldn't get printed until the county struck the rate. This didn't happen for many weeks after they normally get it out....It has nothing to do with the tax people in the township office. They saved us the problem of getting an estimated tax bill back then...and then getting an adjustment bill now!...Relax!...you can always go to the tax office and pay them money...they will accept your payments and make adjustments as needed.

Why would there even be an issue on the Director of Public Safety's need to take a township vehicle home? His only function is pretty much the police budget and policies and procedures. He took this job knowing full well that it did not come with a take home vehicle as compensation. The value of a "take home vehicle" is well over $12,000.00. If a take home vehicle is so important then the twp should deduct the cost of that vehicle from his $80,000.00 salary. He is not "on call" as a detective or police chief is.

For example, a civilian “director” cannot perform police duties including conducting motor vehicle stops, engaging in patrol activities, answering calls for service and stopping or detaining individuals. A “director” may not wear a uniform or badge or carry a firearm, nor may he or she operate a motor vehicle which is equipped as a police car including police band radios. Likewise, they have no powers of arrest and may not issue firearms permits. Further, as a general rule a “director” may not have access to criminal investigative reports, nor may he or she have access to criminal history information. Likewise, such individuals must refrain, unless otherwise specifically directed by the county prosecutor, from directing the investigation of criminal activity. Nor may a “director,” as a civilian appropriate authority, have access to internal affairs investigative files absent a court order. Moreover, a “director” may not examine confidential police reports or other confidential law enforcement documents, nor may he or she access the police department’s terminal for 12 N.J.S.A. 40A:14-152; N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3. 13.

Thanks for all that information John, I for one did not know that the Public Safety Director was so powerless. He is nothing like an officer and I think that's where the confusion sets in. I believe it would be a big unnecessary burden on all the "taxpayers" in Cinnaminson to provide Mr King with a car to ride back and forth to work. Especially when he took the job knowing there would be no vehicle. I have to agree with dajoepa75 as well, how long is this going to be dragged out? This local government really needs more time? For what?

This is just about taking away the zoning officers car and giving a brand new car to the saftey director. This certainly is not what I would call fiscal conservative . Spare us the BS Minnitti. Be what you said when you ran for office, a fiscal conservative. No cars for any employees (except police officers) This safety director is not a officer.

As usual, this committee is all about handing out rewards for being a "good boy", and taking things away from those who speak out against the all-powerful ones. John C. obviously knows what he is talking about, it's been said before, yet there are still people in town who think this guys a Chief of Police. And our Mayor is a Police Officer and knows this, so who is really running this town? I'll give you a hint, (and think of where our new Township Administrator was a Captain). http://www.southjerseylocalnews.com/articles/2012/01/12/medford_central_record/news/doc4f0dc5a295edb431917157.txt

Wow, thanks for the link Lambchop, kind of explains everything.

Still 'talking' about this car stuff??? How about 'no take home cars' for anyone except those whose jobs require them to 'go at a moments notice' and I don't think the latest new employee comes under that catagory. Enough already, the taxes in this town are putting too many elderly, long term, reliable citrizens into the catagory of the jobless poor........and it didn't used to be that way. No more perks for town employees...........not when it comes off of the back of those who pay their way..
