Woodbridge Township Council has introduced an ordinance to clarify the process for citizens applying for municipal boards and commissions, Mayor Frank G. Pelzman has announced.

The ordinance titled Open Application Law and Public Directory of Appointed Volunteer Municipal Positions was introduced at the Council meeting Tuesday night, Mar. 21.

A press conference explaining the ordinance and its expected impact is set for Thursday, Mar. 23 at 4 p.m. at the Mayor’s Office in Town Hall.

“We are pleased with this ordinance,” says Mayor Pelzman. “This is an example of the Township making sure that citizens know how their local government operates and encouraging their participation.”

Councilman James Carroll says the ordinance is a result of the Township responding to citizen input. “The issue came up when I was Council president last year, and we immediately set the wheels in motion to study the matter and come up legislation.”
