Recently this site has learned that Washington Township has made $52,850 from renting the Senior Center since January of 2012. It is not uncommon for municipalities to rent public buildings for use by organizations and a private party. However unlike other towns Washington Township does not have the rental fees for the Center in the Township’s fee ordinance. A fee ordinance set fees which allows a municipality to charge for a service etc.
If there is no fee schedule for the rental of the Senior Center how is the Township legally collecting money?
Will they pay back each person who paid a fee?
How could the Township charge one person one amount of money and another a different? If there is no fee ordinance, is that legal?
Is someone in the Township possibly pocketing money from the Senior Center for personal gain?
Below are fee ordiances from other towns. At the meeting BA Bob Smith said that other towns were doing it wrong. Really Bob? Every other town that has set fees is doing it wrong OR is it Washington Township is doing it wrong AND you rather the public not know about it?
In Order: Runnemede Borough, Gloucester City and Berlin Borough.
