As Bernice
noted yesterday something had to take place too extend the appointment of
Watson as Temporary Director of Public
Works, The Mayor has called for a Special meeting to precede the Agenda
Fixing Session on Monday at 7 PM Dec.15
There will
be 10 Resolutions for action.
1.-Resolution
Extending THE Acting Appointment of Eric C. Watson as Director, Department of
Public Works and Urban Development, Effective December 15, 2014 Through March
15, 2015.

If memory serves the last time a Mayor
called a special meeting there was a lack of a quorum. Since a scheduled
meeting is to take place at 7:30 pm or “following the close of the Special
Meeting” I wonder if there will be a quorum at 7pm?
Another question; can the Mayor as
stated in the call or the Special Meeting delay the opening of a scheduled
meeting? Or, would the Special meeting have to adjourn from 7:30 pm to be resumed
after the Agenda Fixing Meeting is concluded?
It is disappointing Mayor Mapp has requested an extension of Mr. Watson's acting appointment as Director of Public Works. After the waste and abuse Mr. Watson institutionalized at the PMUA and the huge unwarranted and undeserved settlement gift he was given by PMUA Commissioners Dunn, Sanders, and Toliver it is an affront to Plainfield Taxpayers that Mr. Watson ever received another penny from the City of Plainfield. It’s time for Mayor Mapp to hire someone else who doesn’t have Mr. Watson’s history of waste and abuse. If not, he runs the risk of being lumped in with Gerry Green’s Plainfield’s political machine that rewards loyalists and insiders.

No backup material?
ReplyDeleteSparse for Special meeting, the Agenda Fixing session has many "legal" appointments" for consideration but will set schedule for 2015 and other routine matters.
