subcommittee and planning board Representatives councelor would you give us a little overview of this uh yes uh thank you very much Mr chair um you may remember that at the last planning board meeting in February um I updated the board on the actions that have been
taken by the township Council uh the first action that the township Council took was to accept the Department of Community Affairs allocation of the affordable housing um obligation of the township for the fourth round uh the
township Council after reviewing it with the township planner decided that the calculations performed uh by the Department of Community Affairs were consistent with applicable law and they adopted a resolution and directed the township attorney to uh notify the court
of that and the township attorney filed a declaratory judgment action uh notifying the court that the township was accepting that obligation and did so in a timely fashion by the end of January by January 31st uh the next deadline under the new
legislation that had to be met uh was uh anyone that wanted to object to the action taken by the town uh whether it was residents developers fair share housing center had until February 28th to file an objection to the Township's
action um February 28th has come in pass and no challenge or objection has been filed uh with respect to the Township's acceptance of the allocation uh the township also as I reported to you last month has decided
to uh appoint a special affordable housing Council to guide the the township the planning board for the next five months or so to develop an an affordable housing plan also known as a housing element and fair share plan uh
within that context at the last uh or the February 18th council meeting uh the council created an affordable housing subcommittee and it and that committee consists of various members the mayor the mayor and a council design a
representative of the planning board the township attorney uh special affordable housing Council and planner and that group is going to be meeting periodically and it's going to really develop the housing element and fair share plan that the board will
ultimately uh review uh as I said to you there's a representative of the planning board on that and the chair has graciously agreed to volunteer for that position um and uh unless there's an objection from from the board uh I think
that the township Council will accept that that uh volunteerism or that that effort to to meet the be the representative of the board um so with with that background The Next Step that
the planning board has to take is and the town uh by the end of June 30th it has to adopt the housing element and fair share plan which is the the the affordable housing plan and that's what this committee is going to to be uh
working on with input from the elected officials the administration the planning board and Township professionals uh so that gives you an overview of where we stand and and what that uh subcommittee is uh the Madame
clerk did circulate that the township council's resolution so you have that also in in front of you um so if you have any any questions uh or want to proceed in a different way uh uh Mr chair thank you for that very good
overview we don't have to do anything with the correspondence from the council no okay now as long as the board is fine with your being the uh representative that that's that's good any questions or comments on the board if not we'll move on to
