DEMOCRATIC RESPONSE
Coulter/Jackson/Ryan
Coulter:
COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION!!! There is no excuse not to communicate with a resident timely but there are times that the correspondence may not reach the intended recipient and that is why my administration went one step further by holding "Meet the Mayor" meetings at the public library every Wednesday evening from 7:30PM to 9PM. This policy worked but can be improved on by moving the meeting around town for the convenience of our residents.
Jackson:
I agree that communication with the people of Barnegat is very important. The committee members are there to serve you and the lines of communication must always be open. My goal would be to respond within 2 or 3 days from when I received the letter/e-mail. If a request requires research, I would give a date in my response as to when I expect the research will be completed.
Ryan:
Open communication is critical to all citizens - both here in Barnegat and in all other communities. Communication is how we come to understand what is happening and why. I believe that all inquiries should be answered on receipt. However, there are times when this may not be feasible. A response should not be delayed by more than a few days.
