New
Drug Enforcement Strategies Result In Arrests
|
|
|
|
The drug enforcement policies
and strategies being
implemented by Plumsted’s newly promoted officer in charge, Sergeant
Matthew
Petrecca, are sending users and dealers to jail. Sgt. Petrecca reports
that on
November 9th, at approximately 10 P.M., four (4)
Plumsted Police
Officers, Sgt. Pintye, Patrolmen Doell, England
and Murphy conducted an
investigation at #11 Main Street,
New Egypt. The findings of the investigation resulted in the arrest of
26 year
old, Mr. Jose Martinez for the possession of a controlled dangerous
substance
(Marijuana) in excess of 50 grams with the intent to distribute in a
school
zone.
Signs On Poles
Against Law
|
Jersey Central Power and Light
Company has notified
municipalities to enforce a State Law that prohibits the placing of
signs
(political or otherwise) on public utility poles. JCP&L advises
that in
addition to being illegal, these signs pose a safety hazard to utility
workers.
Not only do the signs often prevent them from being able to physically
climb
the pole; but nails, staples, etc. could cause injury to utility
workers or
jeopardize the integrity of safety equipment (gloves) that may
unknowingly be
punctured by these staples and nails.
The State law prescribes
penalties ranging from $50
to $500 for each offense. Each day of the violation may be deemed to be
a
separate offense.
Advertised Bids For Legal Services
Since the enactment of a N.J. State Law that became
effective in 2006, Plumsted
Township has advertised
every year during the month of November for the receipt of sealed bid proposals
to provide legal, engineering and auditing professional services for the
following year. The advertised deadline this year for submitting the sealed bid
proposals to Plumsted’s Municipal Clerk was on or before November 24th
at 4:00 P.M.
Last year, following the advertisement for sealed
bid professional service contract proposals, no lawyers submitted bids to
provide Township legal, labor or prosecutor professional services other than
the current law firms. However, last year’s advertisement did result in three
(3) auditing firms and two bond counsel firms submitting bids.
In observance of the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the recycling center, including the leaf and
branch site will be closed on Saturday, November 28th.
