10:38 mark of the tape of last night’s meeting:
Doherty: “Next are the Committees of the Council appointed and designated by the Mayor. These are Planning Board appointments. Matthew Doherty, Mayor of the Borough of Belmar makes the following appointments to the Planning Board as per Borough ordinance 1995-07.…..”
Borough Ordinance 9-5:
5 Comments
The way #2 is written, Mayor Doherty is NOT allowed to be on the planning board.
For two years running, The mayor appointed six people to Belmar’s Tourism Commission in VIOLATION of II.Administration-3-2. The Ordidance clearly states that it is a commission of FIVE to be in compliance for the NJ statute allowing for local tourism commissions. Brian Magovern is a voting member, but he is not qualified to be. 1 member under the ordinance must be a member of the Chamber of Commerce, I don’t believe any are. The other 4 must be “licensees in the borough of Belmar. four are but not Magovern.
Get the resignation ready. Call the Prosecutor’s Office. Advise atty Canon. Advise Coast Star. Advise Asbury Park Press. Advise Star Ledger. ADVISE POLITICO.
(But the Council will change the rules to suite the scoundrel!)
They can’t Chang the rules.
