Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Monmouth County Freeholder Lillian Burry were speakers during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Village in Tinton Falls. The building, with 70 one-bedroom apartments for veterans of the armed forces, will be run by the nonprofit organization Soldier On.
Ground broken for veterans village housing complex
G
round has been broken for the construction of the Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Village in Tinton Falls, a four-story building with apartments that will be available to veterans of the armed forces at a range of low and moderate income levels. The building will be run by the nonprofit organization Soldier On, according to a press release from the office of Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ). Smith was a guest speaker at the recent groundbreaking ceremony. Officials said $8 million in federal funding will help pay for construction. The re-
maining costs will be financed by the developer and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency. “Today construction begins on Soldier On and WinnDevelopment’s $23 million, 70 one-bedroom housing units,” Smith said. “Thank you Tinton Falls for welcoming the project.” Smith praised Soldier On’s leaders, President Jack Downing and CEO Bruce Buckley, for what he called their tireless efforts to help veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. “Soldier On, thanks to Jack Downing and Bruce Buckley, has created world class
home ownership opportunities coupled with vital services for homeless veterans, and the impact has been enormous and lifechanging,” Smith said. “For the first time in years, even decades, many veterans will finally have a decent place to live and hope and prosper.” “I am especially grateful to Freeholder Lillian Burry for her extraordinary dream of creating a Monmouth County homeless veterans housing initiative, and for her tenacity and skill in making it happen,” Smith said. “For nearly a decade, Lillian has been the quarterback in the push to meet the
compelling housing and service needs of homeless veterans and there have been many setbacks along the way, including an inability to secure space at Fort Monmouth,” the congressman said. “I have been proud to do my part in finding a Monmouth County home for Soldier On and I promise you I will continue to be an active supporter as it moves from design through construction to the day it opens its doors and welcomes its very first veteran home,” Burry said. “According to the U.S. Department

New book will provide in-depth look at Springsteen’s music A book that will offer readers an indepth study of Bruce Springsteen’s music is scheduled to be published in early October. Cassell, an imprint of Octopus Publishing Group, will publish “Bruce Springsteen: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track” by Jean-Michel Guesdon and Philippe Margotin on Oct. 6 in hardcover. The price of the book will be $60, according to a press release. The book is more than 670 pages and details the full story of every song The Boss has recorded and released during his career, according to the press release. Arranged chronologically by album, authors Guesdon and Margotin explore the details behind early hits such as “Blinded by the Light” and “Spirit in the Night,” and later songs such as “Born to Run,” “Hungry Heart,” “Dancing in the Dark,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “The Rising,” “Tucson Train” and more, including outtakes, covers and rare tracks, according to the press release. The book includes hundreds of photographs and chronicles the music of Springsteen, who turned 71 on Sept. 23 and who has sold 135 million albums worldwide, according to the press release.
Springsteen is a native of Freehold Borough and is a 1967 graduate of Freehold Regional High School (now Freehold High School) in the borough. He began playing music in the mid1960s as a member of local bands, including the Castiles and Steel Mill. Springsteen released his first album, “Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.,” on Jan. 5, 1973. Springsteen’s newest album with the E Street Band, “Letter To You,” is scheduled to be released on Oct. 23. “Letter To You” will be his 20th studio album. The album was recorded at Springsteen’s home studio in Colts Neck earlier this year, according to brucespringsteen.net Jean-Michel Guesdon, one of the authors of “Bruce Springsteen: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track,” is a musician, composer and sound engineer. With Philippe Margotin, he wrote “All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Beatles Release” and “Bob Dylan: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track.” He lives in Paris. Margotin has written many books about music, including biographies of Radiohead and U2, according to the press release.
Area men among five people charged in gun trafficking conspiracy Three Monmouth County men and a man and a woman from Florida have been charged with conspiring to illegally sell firearms, including handguns and a semiautomatic rifle, in and around Monmouth County, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced on Sept. 30. Enrique Quijada, 23, of Freehold, Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria, 30, of Bartow, Fla., his brother, Waldin Espinosa-Ozoria, 31, of Freehold, Javier Rodriguez-Valpais, 31, of Marlboro, and Jacquelyn Dejesus, 41, of Bartow, Fla., are each charged by criminal complaint with one count of conspiracy to engage in the business of unlicensed firearms dealing, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria and Rodriguez-Valpais are each additionally charged with one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria and Dejesus are also charged with one count of unlawfully selling a firearm to an individual they knew did not reside in their state of residence, namely Florida.
Quijada, Rodriguez-Valpais and Dejesus were arrested on Sept. 30 are were scheduled to appear by video conference before U.S. Magistrate Judge Zahid N. Quraishi. Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria and Waldin Espinosa-Ozoria were still at large, According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court, from May through September, Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria, Waldin Espinosa-Ozoria, Quijada, Rodriguez-Valpais and Dejesus were members of a gun trafficking conspiracy that spanned from Florida to New Jersey. Dejesus allegedly assisted Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria – the alleged leader of the conspiracy – by acting as a “straw purchaser” of firearms in Florida. Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria and Dejesus then transported the firearms from Florida to Monmouth County, where Manuel Espinosa-Ozoria, assisted by Waldin Espinosa-Ozoria and Rodriguez-Valpais, allegedly sold the firearms to an individual working at the direction and supervision of the FBI. In addition, Rodriguez-Valpais allegedly sold a .223 caliber semi-automatic

rifle to Quijada, who, in turn, allegedly sold the rifle to an individual working at the direction and supervision of the FBI. The counts of conspiracy to engage in the business of unlicensed firearms dealing and unlawfully selling a firearm to an unlicensed resident of another state each carry a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the press release. Carpenito credited special agents of the FBI, Newark Division, under the direc-
tion of Special Agent in Charge George M. Crouch Jr., with the investigation leading to the charges and arrest. He also thanked the FBI Tampa Division, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Newark and Tampa field divisions and the Freehold Borough Police Department for their assistance in the investigation. This case is part of Project Guardian, the U.S. Department of Justice’s initiative to reduce gun violence and enforce federal firearms laws, according to the press release.

Misbehaving For Good By Paul Hall
C
hange. Most individuals fear it, many of us need it and the world is a better place for many of the changes we have experienced over the years. In 1970, the Miss World pageant found itself at the center of a movement. The Women’s Liberation Movement targeted the show and its blatant sexist attitudes. From the objectification of the contestants to the tone of the broadcast, everything about the show screamed that women were objects and nothing more. But the era in London was filled with activists, and while some organized in hidden meetings, others tried to influence things by getting into the establishment and changing the world. Sally Alexander (Keira Knightley) focused her efforts at flexing her intellectual muscles in her fight. As one of the few women who attended college at the time, she wanted
to go head-to-head with the male minds who dominated the universities. It was there she quickly learned she was simply a number while her voice was muted at best. Few, if any, men wanted to consider her thoughts. While Alexander thought she could have the most influence by being a part of the system, women like Jo Robinson (Jessie Buckley) were working at street level. From posters to vandalism, they were changing the narrative one sign at a time, working in the streets one block at a time. When Alexander combined her book smarts with Robinson’s street smarts, the two became a force that was ready to take on the world and led the charge to start with the Miss World pageant being held in London. The pageant was already under fire for admitting the first Black South African contestant. The chaos was just starting for show directors Eric and Julia Morley (Rhys Ifans and Keeley Hawes).
Misbehaviour not only deals with the women’s movement, but also touches on racism and doesn’t shy away from introducing those who believe differently, for their own reasons (some of which feel very altruistic). Gugu-Mbatha Raw is featured as Jennifer Hosten (Miss Grenada), whose role as a Black woman in an environment that favored her white competitors was a personal battle for relevance. Hosten’s own ambition for a broadcasting career drove her to try to use the pageant for her own purposes. She looked to the pageant as a springboard to stand out from the crowd. The reality of 1970 led to celebrities like Bob Hope (Greg Kinnear) hosting a pageant with a variety of jokes that blatantly objectified women and will be
met by many of today’s viewers with shock and awe. To remember things like this were commonplace to the women of yesterday is so vitally important to the society of today. Unfortunately, the whole of the film is a bit uneven and feels clunky. The storylines all deserve more treatment, and there are solid actors who go underutilized in roles that go almost nowhere. While it could have been much better, the film is still both fun and serious, topical yet light. We’ve come a long way in the last 50 years, but there is further to go. Much like the struggles we are going through in society today, change does not happen overnight, but the acts of a few brave individuals can go a long way to changing the hearts and minds of the populace.

Funding source sought for breath test equipment in Allentown By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
ALLENTOWN – Municipal officials will work to identify a source of funding for a piece of equipment they say the Allentown Police Department requires. During a recent Borough Council meeting, Councilman Dan Payson raised the issue of how individuals who are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol are tested by Allentown’s police officers.
Payson chairs the Public Safety Committee and said $18,000 is needed to purchase new equipment because the police department’s current equipment is not working. Mayor Thomas Fritts said, “Our (testing) equipment is dysfunctional and our police officers cannot keep taking people to other towns to conduct the test.” The council meeting was streamed live to the community on Facebook. Residents who are watching the meeting at home may use a feature on the social media plat-
form to make comments in real time while municipal officials are discussing an issue. Rob Schmitt, a former councilman who is running to return to the governing body in the Nov. 3 election, wrote, “Why wasn’t the Breathalyzer (test) in the budget the first time around? This was on council’s plate last year and the year previous. “We voted to put it in the budget when I was on council. It is important and urgent, Mr. Mayor, just as it was two years ago. What happened to the equipment at only $18,000 being in the budget?

“Please address where the current council’s priorities are in terms of getting the hard-working Allentown Police Department the equipment they need in a timely fashion,” Schmitt wrote. Municipal Clerk Laurie Roth responded to Schmitt’s comment by writing in part that “after Councilman Payson confirms with (the police chief) what the equipment specifications are, Councilman (Michael) Drennan will work with the chief financial officer to find the funding for this (equipment).” Discussion of the matter ended at that time. In other business, Fritts addressed traffic safety in Allentown and said it is “one of the most critical issues in the borough for the safety of residents, children and visitors.” Municipal officials are working to enforce a local law that bans trucks on municipal roads, as well as regulations involving designated speed enforcement zones. Fritts said some administrative work is still required to address those issues. Attorney Andrew Sobel, of the firm Sobel Han and Cannon, which represents Allentown, took note of the outstanding administrative issues and said they would be addressed. Borough officials said changes in signs on nearby Interstate 195 have helped to direct some traffic away from Allentown’s downtown district. Fritts said he is “hoping to move on these traffic initiatives in the next 60 days. These (traffic fixes) have to happen now. Traffic is very concerning.”

Veterans
(Continued from page 1)
of Veterans Affairs, in 2001 there were 294,840 homeless veterans on any given night,” said Smith, whose 2001 law for homeless veterans first authorized funding for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veteran Affairs Supported Housing program. “Almost 20 years later, that number has dropped to 37,085. Progress, but still far too many,” the congressman said. Among its many provisions, Smith’s law authorized, for the first time, a program which will be tapped as a major source of future rental assistance funding for veterans who will be living at the housing complex, according to the press release. Smith helped Solider On come to New Jersey in 2011, assisting the Massachusetts-based organization to obtain a $1 million grant in 2012 to help veterans in his district in Monmouth, Ocean and Burlington counties, plus Middlesex and parts of Mercer, according to the press release. That work later expanded to serve nine counties, adding all of Mercer, Somerset, Bergen, Hudson and Essex. Today Soldier On also manages similar veterans housing operations in New York and Massachusetts, providing 177 homes, with another 152 in various stages of development, according to the press release.

ON THE ROAD PETER PERROTTA
2020 Nissan Sentra SV
N
issan has been making Sentras for 38 years. That’s a nice run for this compact entry level model. Ever wonder where these car makers come up with the names for these models? Wikipedia says “the word Sentra sounds like central as well as sentry, which evokes images of safety.” Another internet posting says the name Sentra is of Italian origin and means “beautiful.” Suffice it to say that the Nissan Sentra has been around Peter Perrotta long enough so that most people know what it is. However, this Japanese auto maker was not about to rest on its laurels when it comes to the Sentra. For the 2020 model year, Nissan has come out with an “all new” Sentra from top to bottom and inside and out. I recently settled behind the wheel of the 2020 Nissan Sentra 2.0 SV CVT for one week to judge how they did with remodeling the all new Sentra. In many ways the all new Sentra is a big hit. Its exterior styling is sleek, sculpted and cool looking. Interior redesign is a big winner as well. Inside the new Sentra looks more expensive than its price tag. It is intelligently laid out and fairly roomy but still a bit snug for my six-foot frame. This new Sentra sits on a new platform and suspension as well. I found the new frame and suspension to be solid and very functional. However, the new Sentra only offers one engine, the 2.0 liter four cylinder powerplant that produces 149 horsepower and 145 pound feet of torque. Therein lies the problem with this new Sentra. Power. It really doesn’t produce enough power. The folks at Car and Driver raved about “roomy interior, comfy seats, lots of tech and upscale features” on the new Sentra.
Sentra Reveal
But, on the other hand, they also stated “incredibly slow acceleration, noisy engine and harsh ride.” I think the folks at Car and Driver were being a bit too harsh here. Yes, the car is rather slow, but I wouldn’t say it was “incredibly” slow. It accelerates just as good as a Toyota Corolla or a Honda Civic. Let’s face it folks, no one buys a compact car to win races at the Indy 500. As far as the “harsh ride” knock, I didn’t find that to be the case at all. In fact, I think the new suspension and frame for this new Sentra suits it quite well. I found the steering to be precise and the handling to be above average for a vehicle in this class. Yes, there were times when I punched the accelerator looking to make an aggressive passing move or enter an on ramp on the interstate and found the power to be lacking, but that’s almost to be expected for a car in this class. As far as the noisy engine complaint, I didn’t find that to be the case. Most of the
time the engine for this Sentra was relatively quiet. However, when you do “punch it” a bit the engine revs become more audible than usual. The base price for the Senta SV I tested is $20,270. The sticker price of my tester was $24,800, which includes added options and $925 for destination and delivery. The added options included $2,400 for an SV premium package, $500 for a lighting package and $440 for an electronics package. The SV premium package included: LED head lamps; power moonroof; quilted leather seats; 6-way power driver seat; heated seat and a leather shift knob. The lighting package includes ambient interior lighting and some ground effects lighting. The EPA fuel consumption ratings for this all new Sentra are quite impressive. It gets 33 miles per gallon overall – 39 mpg in highway driving and 29 in city driving. The estimate annual fuel cost for driving the Sentra is a miserly $1,250 a year as
it uses about 3 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This new model Sentra has not been government crash test rated yet. The infotainment system in the new Sentra is fairly easy to use. My tester synched my phone and iPod music system rather easily. However, my tester did not have a factory navigation system in it so I had to plug my Android phone into it and use Android Auto. I didn’t think the Android Auto system was as good as factory navigation system would be. I lost the signal several times while using the Android navigation system. Overall, at the end of the day the Sentra can stand proudly side by side in comparison to either the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears regularly. He can be contacted at peter@capitalmotorcars.com.

Gov. Murphy signs $32.7B fiscal year 2021 budget into law By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
D
emocratic Governor Phil Murphy has signed the $32.7 billion Fiscal Year 2021 Appropriations Act (budget) into law. In a press release, Murphy said the revised state spending plan “manages to protect core priorities and deliver middle class tax relief during the historic ďŹ scal crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.â€? The budget fully re-establishes the millionaire’s tax that expired in 2010, instituting the existing 10.75% rate on income over $5 million to income earned over $1 million, according to the press release. The budget also relies on the ability to issue up to $4.5 billion in general obligation bonds to help address the economic fallout created by COVID-19 and better position the state to weather any future public health and economic uncertainties, according to the press release. Murphy originally laid out his 2021 budget proposal on Feb. 25. Less than two weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic took root, ravaging New Jersey from a public health standpoint and an economic standpoint, according to the press release. The crisis prompted state ofďŹ cials to follow the federal government in moving important April tax ďŹ ling deadlines to July and extending the ďŹ scal year from the traditional June 30 end date to Sept. 30. As a result, the budget signed by Murphy on Sept. 29 addresses spending from Oct. 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. State Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-Gloucester) was quoted in the press release from the governor’s ofďŹ ce as saying, “Our budget restores cuts and makes
the investments we need in our state and county colleges, in Extraordinary Special Education Aid for our most vulnerable students, in our hospitals and direct care workers who provide critical healthcare, and in a wide range of other services that are more important than ever in this pandemic.â€? According to the governor, the budget maintains funding for critical programs, including K-12 education, municipal aid, direct property tax relief (including the Homestead BeneďŹ t and the Senior Freeze), the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, and post-secondary tuition assistance. Republicans had a different view of the Fiscal Year 2021 budget Murphy signed. Doug Steinhardt, the chairman of the state Republican Party, said, “With this budget, Gov. Murphy might as well be signing a letter addressed to every New Jersey taxpayer that reads ‘Move to Florida or Pennsylvania. I don’t care.’ “This $32.7 billion budget is the most callous and crippling in New Jersey history. In the middle of an economic crunch made worse by his decisions, Phil Murphy’s lack of understanding for struggling New Jersey businesses and families was never more evident,â€? Steinhardt said. In one speciďŹ c budget development, New Jersey’s horse racing industry will receive a multi-million dollar subsidy in 2021, but the ďŹ nancial support from the state will not be as large as was initially anticipated. Republican state representatives reported several weeks ago that Murphy was planning to eliminate a $20 million subsidy the horse racing industry was scheduled to receive in the upcoming ďŹ scal year.
On Sept. 30, Dennis Drazin, the chairman and CEO of Darby Development, LLC, the operators of Monmouth Park, Oceanport, said most of the subsidy would be provided to the horse racing industry. “We are grateful to Gov. Murphy and the legislative leadership, the Senate president, the Assembly speaker and all the senators and assemblymen who supported protecting the horse racing industry by delivering a $15 million subsidy, thereby protecting 13,000 jobs and an (industry) that generates a signiďŹ cant economic contribution to New Jersey,â€? Drazin said. New Jersey’s operating race tracks are Monmouth Park (thoroughbred racing), Freehold Raceway (harness racing) and the Meadowlands (harness and thoroughbred racing). The budget Murphy signed includes funding for school based youth services programs, which previous published reports indicated was on the chopping block. One youth services program that faced a loss of funding is The Source at Red Bank Regional High School, Little Silver. When word got out several weeks ago that the governor was considering defunding these programs, supporters of The Source mounted a campaign to save what they said is an important and much needed service in the school. In a message posted online after Murphy signed the Fiscal Year 2021 budget, directors of The Source addressed their supporters and wrote, “Your active participation yielded the outcome we so desired. Simply put, you changed our world. “Whether you made a phone call, sent a testimonial or shared information on social media, you made this change. We are so grateful for your advocacy on our behalf.
“Thank you for your support, dedication and making the time to make a difference. As we enter into our 21st year of service, we assure you we will continue to meet the emerging needs of the students and school community at Red Bank Regional High School. We are pleased to say ‘The Source is Open,’ â€? they wrote. Michele Siekerka, president and CEO of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association, addressed the spending plan in a press release and said, “Now that Gov. Murphy has put ink to the page of a budget that will do great damage to New Jersey businesses and taxpayers, we hope he and our policymakers will work on writing a new script that includes real, comprehensive reforms and expands the capacity for our businesses to operate. “We have contended from the beginning of this process that the excessive spending, borrowing and taxation found in this budget were, in fact, not necessary and not COVID-19 related. ‌ With $215 billion in debt, a crushing business climate and a continued appetite to tax and spend, New Jersey simply cannot continue along this path. “We are encouraged by talk of real reforms as we turn the page from this budget, but it can no longer be about talk, and actions must truly be meaningful. We look forward to working with our policymakers to make it happen,â€? Siekerka said. Letters to the editor may be sent via email to news@njexaminer.com.

GOP officials oppose Dem governor’s order for vote by mail election By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
E
lected officials in three western Monmouth County municipalities have put their opposition on the record to an executive order that requires New Jersey voters to primarily use a mail-in ballot to cast their vote in the Nov. 3 election. The presidential election between incumbent Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, who served as vice president with President Barack Obama, tops the election, which also features county and municipal races, board of education races, and public questions. Citing concerns with the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed an executive on Aug. 14 that established new rules for the Nov. 3 election. All registered voters in New Jersey will receive a mail-in ballot by Oct. 5 and will be asked to vote using that ballot. On Nov. 3, individuals who go to a poll-
ing location expecting to cast their ballot on a voting machine will only be permitted to cast a provisional paper ballot. All of the provisional ballots will be reviewed after the election to ensure that each person who used a paper ballot was legally able to vote. If a ballot is deemed legal, the votes will be added to the selected candidates’ total vote count. In recent weeks, municipal officials in Colts Neck, Freehold Township and Millstone Township – where Republicans run the governing body – passed a resolution that opposes an election that will be contested primarily through the use of mail-in ballots. The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders, which has a 5-0 Republican majority, also passed a resolution that opposes an election that will be contested primarily through the use of mail-in ballots. The resolutions from Colts Neck and Millstone state that the practice of compelling all registered voters to vote by mail

has caused and will cause concern among voters for dishonesty, voter fraud and voter disenfranchisement in a mail-in election. The resolutions also state that mandated all mail-in voting significantly delayed election results following the July 7 primary election in Monmouth County. Officials said they expect the delay in producing election results to be magnified following the Nov. 3 election. “Voters should not have to be concerned about disenfranchisement, voter fraud and dishonesty, or delayed election results in the November general election,” officials wrote in the resolutions. Freehold Township’s resolution notes that New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal charged individuals with illegally collecting or processing ballots in a Paterson election this year. According to the resolution, election officials in Paterson admitted that more than 3,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified. “The Township Committee is gravely
concerned that the exclusive mail-in ballot ‘experiment’ has been difficult, at best, during the primary election cycle, (which) represents a small fraction of the ballots to be cast when compared to the upcoming general election. “The Township Committee does not believe voting ‘experiments’ should be conducted when selecting the individuals to lead political parties, local governments, boards of education, county governments, state government or the federal government,” Freehold Township’s officials wrote. The resolution states that voting in person can be accomplished using existing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols of social distancing. Registered voters are expected to receive their ballot by Oct. 13 and may return the ballot immediately by mail, by bringing it to a polling location on Nov. 3, or by placing it in a drop box that will be provided at locations throughout the county.
No issues uncovered in audit MILLSTONE – No recommendations for corrective action were made in the 2019 municipal audit of Millstone Township’s municipal finances. During a recent Township Committee meeting, members of the governing body passed a resolution to adopt the audit. According to state law, the governing body of every municipality must have an annual audit of its books, accounts and financial transactions. Millstone Township’s audit was conducted by Holman Frenia Allison, P.C. According to the resolution, the 2019 audit contains no recommendations and because no recommendations were made, officials were not required to prepare a corrective action plan. In other business, committee members authorized continued membership with Minnesota-based Sourcewell and autho-

rized a contract through Sourcewell with P.L. Custom Body and Equipment Co. for the purchase of an ambulance and related equipment. According to a resolution, the total for the ambulance and related equipment is $182,607. The purchase was initially $192,955, but a discount of $10,348 was applied through Sourcewell and P.L. Custom Body and Equipment Co. And, committee members passed two resolutions requesting that the state approve the insertion of $21,000 and $583 into the 2020 municipal budget. The $21,000 will be appropriated for the 2020 Municipal Alliance Grant. The $583 will be appropriated for the fiscal year 2019 Alcohol Education and Rehabilitation Fund grant.
