Dave Beaumont of West Amwell
Recent statements have suggested that our current West Amwell Township Committee has not been operating as an “open government.”
While I can’t speak to the particular accusations, as the volunteer webmaster for our township Web site, I can, however, assure you that your committee has been very insistent and persistent about up-to-date and comprehensive meeting minutes being available to the public and posted on our Web site in a timely manner.
It has been my experience since taking on the Web site in 2005, that 2006 was the first year our Township Committee paid serious attention to being transparent and communicating openly with the public via the Web.
As a result, all Township Committee minutes have been regularly posted on our Web site beginning in 2006 and are up to date through 2008 year to date. Prior year minutes are spotty at best.
Furthermore, over the past three years, other committees and boards have increasingly been diligent about sharing their minutes for posting as well through the insistence and influence of our Township Committee.
I encourage you to visit our Website at www.westamwelltwp.org for more information about our township.
