A motion to adopt an ordinance to reallocate bond funds to address water contamination issues fails.
Even after the letter from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is read out loud by the solicitor, (see letter posted above), Committeewoman Lawrence, the LIAISON TO DIVISON OF HEALTH, votes "no" for the funding to correct the contaminated wells. Committeeman Flamini also votes "no".
Mayor Metzner: "...people should be absolutely ashamed of themselves...for you (Flamini & Lawrence) to make this political is outrageous."

Editor's note: During the re-organization meeting in January, 2006, First Flamini inquires about Robert's Rules of Order, then Holcomb, Lawrence and DiFabio join Flamini in voting against a resolution for the Township Committee to adopt the very common 1876 meeting procedure and rule book.
A motion and 2nd is made for a "do-over" vote to fund the rehabiliation of the contaminated wells with existing bonds and outstanding bond authorizations. The measure passes. However, Marie Lawrence, LIAISON TO DIVISION OF HEALTH, votes against providing funding for contaminate free water. Committeeman Cooper remarks on Lawrence's actions.
