CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS
Chairman Gutzmirtl invited potential new appointees to attend and participate in future Board of Supervisors meetings. He also wanted to thank the potential appointees for volunteering to serve the Township and he wanted to let them know that they are well respected as volunteers. He spoke to the importance of volunteers in the operation of government and how difficult it was to recruit volunteers to serve on the various Township Boards and Commissions. He said the Township was fortunate to have a number of exceptional people who have stepped forward to serve the Township. Chairman Gutzmirtl was glad to say goodbye to 2008 and welcome a new year despite some of the major accomplishments that took place. The only substantial bump in the road, he said, was not passing the open space referendum question. He promised, however, it was not a dead issue in the Township and would be revisited in the future. He advocated the creation of a 9 to 11 member blue ribbon committee that would study open space and land preservation issues in the Township.
