Assistant Director Chris Vaz speaks
to the mayors. On right is Buddy Young, Operations Director for Crowder Gulf.
| Chris Vaz appeared in place of Director Tom Neff,
who was unable to attend. Chris updated the mayors on the Division
of Local Government Services, noting that problems with the
division's online financial disclosure forms are being addressed,
and that many questions respondents had are answered in the
instructions. However, some of the trouble experienced involved the
respondent's technology. On the hardware side, Vaz cited Mac and
iPad computers. Troublesome software included the Google Chrome
browser and certain Internet firewalls. He said that the process
will be better next year.
Buddy Young, Operations Director for Crowder Gulf, who is
directing waterway clean-up efforts in the wake of Sandy reported on
progress so far. In the rivers, lagoons, and Barnegat Bay from the Navesink
River to the Rt. 72 Long Beach Island bridge, he said, workers have removed
30,000 cubic yards of debris, including 48 boats, three cars and three
houses that washed into the bay near Mantoloking. Summer boating will be
"pretty safe," he said, but warned that there will still be pieces of
floating lumber and other potential hazards to watch for.
