live streamed on YouTube. No new business or testimony will be conducted after 9 30 PM and the meeting will adjourn at 10 PM sharp, which I don't think applies tonight. Also, adequate notice of this meeting was provided in the New Jersey Herald. It was also posted on the Sparta Township website and its bulletin board in accordance with all provisions of the Open Public Meetings Act. Also, since we have no applications tonight, no formal action will be taken here. If everyone is so kind to rise and salute the flag, please. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
