JAMESBURG — The Borough Council established an Ethics Committee at its reorganization meeting Jan. 5 to oversee the conduct and procedures of the council.
The committee chairwoman is Councilwoman Brenda Deans. Its members are Council President Otto Kostbar and Councilman Greg Newton. All three were appointed to one-year terms.
”Everybody (on the council) should know exactly what to do to avoid conflicts,” Mr. Kostbar said while explaining the purpose of the new committee.
One of the projects the committee will work on is an ordinance outlining some of the procedures the council typically must follow. The ordinance also would review personnel policies to make sure they provide all proper guidance and instructions, Mr. Kostbar said.
”I think it’s going to be a quite active committee,” he said. “We’re in the organizational phase right now.”
