The Jackson Township Council has announced that it will be adding one more member to the Jackson Municipal Utilities Authority.
The decision comes after Jackson Councilman Mordechai Burnstein was made aware that the MUA has only one alternate commissioner where other towns have two.
“By adding the second MUA alternate, the Township is ensuring that there is constancy and more oversight over this independent board, ” said Councilman Mordechai Burnstein. “With the upcoming retirement of the current MUA Director and new members joining the commission, we want to ensure a smooth transition,” he added. Council Vice President Sargent added that Council is looking out for the best interest of the ratepayers and residents of Jackson Township and that he is looking forward to interviewing the various candidates for this position.
