Without Further Notice to the Public

“No Notice to the Public” Is that Perfectly OK?

No week goes by in Teaneck without one of its entities either limiting or ignoring public input about ways to improve municipal transparency. This week, at the end of its short 3/3/22 meeting, Board of Adjustment Chair Meyer announced Good & Welfare and recognized resident Gail Gordon who questioned the way that the Board decides that hearings for applications being delayed or continued to future meetings will require “no further notice to the public”.
 Before she spoke Meyer clarified to Gordon and his Board that nothing she says would count. He then dismissed her concern claiming that all meeting agenda items were always found on the Town website (demonstrably not accurate) and that interested public could always learn what delays or continuances by attending the Board meetings (typically 3+ hours each). The attached 3-minute video captures this interchange. Resident Gordon remains unconvinced. Are you?
