MORE ON ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY: A SCORECARD FOR EVALUATING OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION
Earlier this year the township spent $600K on an open space parcel that has no access to roads and is on steep slope. The value of the parcel was questioned repeatedly by concerned citizens.
I propose creating an objective scorecard for evaluating open space parcels and having those criteria developed with input from the wider public, and published.
At the July 15th Township committee meeting, Adam Muller, a member of the Open Space Advisory Board publicly stated the criteria for open space selection should NOT be released to the public. This from a committee that was called out last year for operating outside its charter.
This needs to change now. ACT for change- Vote November 5th!
