[quote="Matt Scott-pq17"]This is Mayor Matt Scott.

In response to this discussion, I would like to make it clear that appointing a Local OEM Coordinator who is a resident of Cranbury is a requirement.  The incoming Cranbury Police Chief is not a resident of Cranbury.

Our Local Office of Emergency Management consists of the Local OEM Coordinator, a deputy OEM Coordinator (who has been a member of the police force and will continue to be), the Township Administrator, and the Mayor.  The Local OEM Coordinator's role is to coordinate activities between police, EMS, fire, public works and town management.  It's a role about coordination and communication.

Outgoing Police Chief Varga was appointed to this position while he was a resident of Cranbury. The state does not require that the appointee be the chief of police or a member of the police department, but does require that he or she be a resident of the town.  As Mayor, I am required to appoint a replacement.

I was given a list of names to consider by Chief Varga and our Township Administrator for Local OEM Coordinator, all whom have the background, time and commitment to fulfill the duties of the role.  Our township attorney has reviewed the state guidelines and approved the appointment of former mayor and township committee member Susan Goetz.

The OEM Coordinator position is an unpaid appointment, having nothing to do with police budgeting.

If anyone has further questions on this or any other matter then please contact me directly at: mscott@cranbury-nj.com.

I am much more comfortable discussing issues outside of an anonymous forum.[/quote]
