September 1: Building and Code Staff Appreciation Day

Not that you should need another reason to take in the high-stakes, non-stop, blocker-buster-like excitement of a Montville Board of Adjustment meeting, but in case you do, here's a little extra incentive: a chance to show some love to the men and women who keep our buildings up to snuff, code-wise.

Building and Code Staff Appreciation day doesn't seem to have any documented day of origin that I can find and, sure, it isn't like the board is going around inspecting buildings in its spare time. Still, if the board's main duty, as it's described on the township's website, is to "hear appeals, to grant variances from the strict application of the zoning ordinance and to rule on 'use' applications," I think it's close enough for funk.

The board meets tonight, Sept. 1, at 8 p.m. in the municipal building. Get there early and let the board know how much you really care.
