March Meeting Minutes
SURVEYORS’ ASSOCIATION OF
WEST JERSEY
MARCH 11, 2009
MINUTES OF MEETING
Carlucci’s Waterfront
876 Centerton Road, Mount Laurel, NJ 08054
President Bill Haggerty called the meeting to order at 7:20 PM. There were 22 members and guests present. The minutes of the prior meeting, held on February 12, 2009, were read and approved.
President Haggerty announced that we would hear from our speaker first, because he was on a tight schedule and must leave promptly. Bill introduced Lt. Brian Crane of the New Jersey State Police. He spoke in detail with extensive graphics about roadside accidents and fatalities at construction sites and major roadways. He addressed the reasons for safety requirements when surveyors must work near traffic. Lt. Crane answered questions from the audience. After an informative talk, lasting one hour, President Haggerty thanked him and wished him well as he drove home with his daughter.
President Bill called on Pete Burgess for the Treasurer’s Report, which Pete read.

A motion was made, seconded, and approved to accept the report.
