Clerk's office moved to new building on Friday
The scenes at the old Town Hall on Preventorium Road and the new Municipal Building on Route 9 were as different as the buildings themselves on Friday. A year after purchasing the former Global Building the transition from the old building to the new one took another step forward as Township Clerk Penny Wollman supervised the move of her office and staff to their new home. Township Manager Helene Schlegel had already moved earlier this summer so by the time the weekend started the quiet of the empty offices seemed to almost match perfectly with the bucolic surroundings of the nearly century old building. For many township residents the building on Preventorium Road is the only Town Hall they have ever known and for many of the employees …

Several months of work to go before move completed
As she walks through the halls of the new municipal building Township Manager Helene Schlegel can see what the finished product will look like once the work is completed and the building becomes their official home. Last week Schlegel and the administration moved into the section of the building that has been completed to directly oversee the remainder of the project. "We're getting there," she said. Since the moving trucks brought them from Preventorium Rd. to Route 9 Schlegel said it has been business as usual as they get used to their new home. In her new office Schlegel said the building formerly known as the Global Building has a decidedly and intentionally different feel from the older Town Hall. "Besides just being here overseeing …

Tuesday's meeting includes talk about Human Services and tax building
Township Manager Helene Schlegel said that by the end of next month she hopes to be in her new office at the former Global Building along with the finance department. As more pieces fit into place at the new municipal complex the question of what to do with their old homes will become even more prevalent. At Tuesday night's Council meeting the attention was turned to the Human Services and Revenue buildings on Route 524. Schlegel said during the meeting that with the township planning to "vacate" the building that had at one time served as Town Hall, there will need to be decisions made about not only where to move the current occupants to but also what to do with the building when it is empty. She said it was possible that groups like…

As she addressed the members of the Town Council as well as the residents attending Tuesday night's meeting, Township Manager Helene Schlegel's first State of the Township Address was guardedly optimistic after what has in many ways been a challenging year for Howell.

Starts at 6:30 followed by workshop meeting at 7:30
When the Howell Township Council meets tonight at Town Hall, the members sitting at the dais will be the same ones that were there at the last meeting in December. With Councilman Juan Malave already sworn in following the resignation of former Councilwoman Susan Schroeder Clark, The members of the council should be able to get right down to business for the year ahead. There could still be changes ahead with Mayor Robert Walsh vying for a spot with the Monmouth County Freeholders. Deputy Mayor William Gotto said barring some unforeseen circumstance he expects to hold that position for another year, though depending on Walsh's status that could change. "It's obviously a little humbling," he said of the number two spot. "Getting to do it …

Smith casts lone dissenting vote on $6.9 million ordinance
The process of a potential purchase of the Global Complex took another step forward on Tuesday night after an emotional meeting at Town Hall. With a 4-1 vote, the council passed an ordinance allowing $6.9 million to be put toward the possible purchase of the Route 9 buildings as the future home of the municipal government. At Tuesday's meeting residents once again took advantage of their time during the public comment portion to express their feelings on leaving the nearly century old building for the newer structure right off the highway. While some in attendance came out in favor of the purchase, most were opposed. Their reasons ranged from the cost of maintaining the new building, to the lack of a plan for what would happen to the …
