Middletown committee to take meetings on the road MIDDLETOWN - The 2007 Regional Neighborhood Meetings will return to a neighborhood near you, beginning Tuesday. Each year the Township Committee holds four informal meetings to hear the concerns and ideas of residents. "I hope many residents will be able to join us. The neighborhood meetings are a valuable way to maintain a greater understanding of key quality-of-life issues in our neighborhoods and to share information with residents on township services and resources," Mayor Gerard Scharfenberger said in a press release. This year's neighborhood meetings all begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at Navesink Elementary School on March 13, New Monmouth Elementary School on March 20, River Plaza Elementary School on March 29 and at the Tonya Keller Bayshore Recreation Center on April 9. Township Committee members, the tax assessor and representatives from the parks, recreation cultural affairs, police, public works and planning departments are scheduled to attend. All meetings will include an update on the ongoing revaluation and a general discussion period. No formal action is taken at these meetings. Neighborhood meetings were first held in the early 1990's and returned to Middletown in 2001 to give residents additional opportunities to meet committee members and staff, and for the township to hear directly from residents. Meeting locations are rotated annually.
