Monday's Plainfield City Council meeting looks to be a snorer

There is a proposal to change a one-way street
to two-way that should please everyone.

Plainfield City Council's Monday (October 1) agenda-setting session looks to be a snorer.

Plainfield Mayor Adrian O. Mapp is asking for advice and consent on the appointment of the new department directors (whose names he made public in July) --

• Carlos Sanchez will now be designated Business Administrator;
• Ron West will be Director of Finance;
• Oren Dabney will be Director of Public Works;
• Valerie Jackson will be Director of Economic Development;
• Jazz Clayton-Hunt will be Director of Communications and Technology; and
• Shep Brown will be Director of Health and Social Services.

The proposed separation of police and fire into two separate departments was not taken up at this time, leaving Carl Riley as Director of Public Safety and Police Director.

In other business, the proposed sign ordinance has been revised to accommodate the complaints Mayor Mapp said gave the administration pause, and is on for a first reading as MC 2018-24.

The only corrective action item in the 2017 audit concerned the timely deposit of cash by the Police Division and a resolution will address that issue.

The last item of any general interest is the proposal to reinstate the block of Cleveland Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets as two-way (it is now, annoyingly to everyone, one way northbound). For once, a traffic change that should be greeted enthusiastically by everyone.

City Council meets at 7:30 PM Monday in the Council Chambers / Courthouse at Watchung Avenue and East 4th Street.

Parking available on the street and in the lot across from Police Headquarters.
