Work Session a) Awards Program The Township Committee discussed with the Township Attorney, Ms. Waterbury, and the establishment of an AdHoc Awards Program for volunteers. ... b) Discussion of Moving Millstone Park Driveway The Township Engineer, Cathleen Marcelli, discussed with the Township Committee the re-location of the driveway at Millstone Park on Old Trenton Road. Mayor Stout led the discussion, explaining this was part of the Township’s on-going efforts to improve safety along Old Trenton Road. ... Ms. Marcelli explained the Traffic Consultant, Andrew Feranda, had recommended re-aligning the driveway entrance to Millstone Park to be consistent with Washington Drive, making that a four-way intersection. ... Ms. Marcelli estimated it would most likely cost the Township $40,000.00 to do the project without County assistance. ... (Ms. Marcelli mentioned that Andrew Feranda had submitted plans to the County showing that by providing left-hand turn slots for both Eastbound and Westbound vehicles, traffic on Old Trenton Road would be slowed down. Since then the County has agreed and has offered to do the striping at not cost to the Township). ... c) Discussion of Letter From The Cranbury School Requesting an Extension of the No Passing Zone on Cranbury Neck Road ... Resolutions Consent Agenda Mayor Stout explained, Resolution # 166 was to pay bills, # 167 to appoint Jerry Thorne to the position of Interim Public Works Manager, at a yearly rate of $4,800.00, effective June 1, 2007, #168 for endorsement of the Green Acres Farmland / Blue Acres and Historic and Preservation Bond Act of 2007 and Mayor Stout added Cranbury Township had benefited over time from State funding for the acquisition of open space park land and the acquisition of development rights to purchase farmland. In addition, the Resolution would show Cranbury Township’s support to continue this critical funding mechanism. Blue Acres is to pay and buy back homes that are located in flood plains to give residents affected in those areas fair market value for their homes. ...
