Mr. Sosis:
I've attached the meeting minutes you requested, and they can always be found on our website at the following link: https://mansfieldtownship-nj.gov/index.p...
Please note, August 24th minutes have not yet been approved by the Township Committee, therefore cannot yet be released.
The Executive minutes for 2022 are currently being reviewed by the Township Committee for approval at the meeting on 9/14. I will send them to you after approval.
The Executive minutes for 2021 you requested are attached.
I am sending the audio recordings you requested in a second email to follow this one, as I'm worried the files may be too big to send.

Thank you, Ms. Orlando.
As an FYI, the meeting minutes for December 8, 2021 and December 22, 2021, are still not available on the website. My request included these dates after several months of checking the Town website. I just checked and they are still missing from the Town's website: https://mansfieldtownship-nj.gov/index.p...
Thanks again.
Thank you for pointing that out. As you know that was prior to my arrival here, but I am still responsible and will correct that immediately.

Agreed. Comparatively, there's no doubt you are a great liaison and reflection on the Township of Mansfield. I apologize for the confusion.
Thank you for the kind words. I pride myself on good relationships with the residents of Mansfield.
Enjoy your weekend!
