Council members discussed the issue of door-to-door solicitation, which has been a concern for residents. It was noted that solicitation requires a license within the township, and residents are encouraged to display “No Solicitation” signs to deter unwanted visits. The council clarified that while there are free speech implications, they are working to ensure residents feel safe and uninterrupted in their homes. This discussion stemmed from a personal experience shared by a council member who was interrupted during a televised event.

The meeting also addressed a severe accident that occurred over the weekend, highlighting the exemplary response from local and neighboring EMS units. The accident involved multiple emergency services, and one individual required helicopter transport. The council expressed gratitude for the dedication and professionalism of all first responders involved, recognizing their critical role in managing the situation efficiently.

Other topics included ongoing field maintenance with the local football organization, where progress was made in planning both short and long-term strategies without increasing taxpayer burden. The council also discussed participation in an upcoming meeting with New Jersey municipalities to secure federal funding for beach replenishment projects, which is seen as a positive step for the community.

Additionally, a successful fundraiser organized by the Cape Regional Auxiliary was acknowledged, contributing over $22,000 to the MS Foundation. This event saw active participation from the community.

During the public comment session, a resident raised questions about the township’s ADA officer coordinator role and shared concerns regarding past interactions at meetings. The council advised that job descriptions could be obtained through civil service postings and chose not to engage deeply with personal queries during this period.
