Jackson Township Council President Mordechai “Mordy” Burnstein announced Wednesday that the Township Council meeting postponed earlier this week will be rescheduled after the State determined the Council meeting room is safe for use.

According to Burnstein, Tuesday’s meeting was canceled after the Township Fire Official raised concerns that recently replaced doors leading to the meeting room might not comply with the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. At the time, the Fire Official was unable to make a definitive determination regarding the applicable code requirements.

Burnstein said that on Wednesday afternoon, a representative from the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety inspected the doors and concluded that they meet the intent of the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, approving the continued use of the Council meeting room.

With the issue resolved, Township officials said they look forward to welcoming residents back and will announce the rescheduled meeting date and details as soon as they are finalized.
