The advisory committee, established by the mayor under New Jersey statute, aims to assist in the revision of the township’s master plan. The committee includes members from the community and the township, such as the mayor and a councilman. During the meeting, it was clarified that the advisory committee would provide feedback to the planning board, which retains the final decision-making authority. This structure is intended to prevent discrepancies between community recommendations and official planning board decisions. An advisory committee member outlined the timeline for the master plan revision, noting that the first deliverable is expected on November 8, followed by a presentation to the planning board for further discussion.

Another topic was the review and amendment of a draft ordinance concerning commercial vehicles. The ordinance, prepared by a member of the council, requires feedback from board members by mid-month to streamline future discussions and revisions.
