The August meeting of the Gloucester City Planning and Zoning Board was postponed until the September meeting — scheduled for September 17 at 313 Monmouth St. – because there were not enough members for a quorum.

The Planning Board has nine members, and needs five to have meeting.

The members present were Chairman Daniel Spencer, Councilman Nicholas Marchese, Former Mayor and Board Member Bob Bevan, and Michael Smollock.

There were no Applications for Development on the Agenda, but there were six historic resolutions on the agenda.

One historic resolution was a request for a property owner on King Street to build a fence in the rear of the property along Willow Street.

Currently that space is used as parking lot for residences and businesses. The parking lot is behind the King Street Espresso Bar and Back to Front Therapeutic Massage Inc.

 No members of the Brooklawn Board of Education (BOE) will be attending the annual New Jersey School Board Convention in Atlantic City this fall because of a new state law that affects all school districts.

\”There is a cap on how much the Board of Education is permitted to spend for a room for its board members to attend conventions and other things,\” Board Solicitor Lenny Wood said during last week\’s BOE meeting.

Wood said that, by law, the BOE is only allowed to pay $117 per room, and each board member would have to pay the difference. Wood also said this law is \”totally wrong.\”
