voice vote on the motion made and seconded. The motion was carried 6-0 with one abstention by
Committee Member Anderson.
COMMUNICATIONS
Chair Lydick brought up two other items for the Task Force's consideration, asking for their
guidance to staff. He pointed out that there was conflicting information with regard to the history
of the Task Force, resulting in confusion regarding the due date for the final report - i.e., one
document states the due date as January, 2007, and the Resolution creating the Task Force
indicates a completion date for the Task Force's work of October, 2006. A discussion regarding
the outline of the final report and its delivery date ensued. Committee Member Oliver stated that
it is necessary for the Task Force's existence to continue as long as necessary in order to
accomplish its charge to recommend to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Assembly
policies regarding development and availability of gravel. Committee Member Carver pointed
out that the Task Force is currently in the stage of identifying sources and a future stage, as part
of its commission, is to help the Borough develop a policy to manage and operate gravel
extraction. He also expressed his opinion that despite the looming deadline, the Task Force
should not pare down the tasks with which it was charged (listed in "Appendix A") to the few
items completed or to be completed in the near future but that the whole list of charges should be
retained. Committee Member Anderson moved to extend the existence of the Gravel Task Force
Committee to January 1,2008. Committee Member King seconded the motion. Chair Lydick
called for the question to go to a voice vote, and the motion was carried 7-0. A general
discussion regarding the Task Force's commission to formulate a policy recommendation and the
factors involved, including Task Force membership composition, ensued.
