  • Comm. Acevedo spoke to Comm. Beslanovitz and told him to forget about speaking with the police dept. re: fingerprinting. Comm. Acevedo will take care of this.
  • Comm. Acevedomentioned that he spoke with the MORPHTRAC people and they said that they don’t do groups unless it is done on a weekday and during normal business hours. This obviously cannot be done because we all have jobs during normal business hours. They can be sent in 1 at a time at a cost of $40. per person. You should follow the criteria of the state police. When the state police were contacted Comm. Acevedo was told that the local PD should take care of this at no cost. Comm. Acevedo met with deputy chief of police Phil Meehan at Touch a Truck and discussed this further. The board feels that the attorney should speak to the township administrator. Discussion followed.

  • Comm. Bauman noted that Peter Jefferies called and asked if JB is employed full time. The board said yes. Asked about Michelle Powers’ employment Comm. Bauman thought she worked part time but she actually works full time.
