Princeton Township: 2010 Audit, SHRREDtemberfest, Princeton University Sharrows

Bob Morrison of Hodulik & Morrison told the Township Committee on Monday that its 2010 audit report was clean, or unqualified, and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.

“My staff goes out with the objective of bringing me findings,” Morrison said on Monday. “We encourage them to dig and they still came up empty.”

The result?

“Anything that you get out of the finance department is reliable,” Morrison said.

This is the second consecutive year that Princeton Township has received no audit recommendations. Hodulik & Morrison audit 25 other municipalities in New Jersey and only one other has had no recommendations in the past two years, Morrison said.

The Township’s finance department is headed by Chief Financial Officer Kathryn Monzo, under the direction of Township Administrator James Pascale.  

Mayor Chad Goerner reported resident donations during township’s Sept 24 SHRREDtemberfest filled:

• A 53-foot tractor trailer with electronics
• 3,090 lbs of clothing for the Rescue Mission of Trenton
• Two shredding trucks to capacity, each containing 9-11 tons of paper

Princeton University received approval to install bicycle sharrows along Alexander Road in Princeton Township.

The university also hopes to install sharrows along the following borough roads: Alexander, University Place, College (public sections), Washington, Prospect, William, Olden, Faculty, Broadmead, Ivy/Western and Fitzrandolph. 

The university also install sharrows on Charlton between William and Nassau if the borough would like it, said Kristin Appelget, the university's director of community affairs.

If the university gets borough and county approvals in time to paint the sharrows this fall, it will, Appelget said. 

All work will be paid for by the university.
