DETAILS: On April 28, 2006, Governor Jon S.

The membership of the FMERPA includes the Mayors of the Eatontown, Oceanport and Tinton Falls; a member of the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders; the New Jersey Secretary of Commerce; four members appointed by the Governor and a Department of Defense representative. The Department of Defense representative serves in a non-voting advisory capacity.

Friday night's agenda will cover the administrative details essential to the establishment of a newly-formed public authority. In addition, there will be time provided for public comment.
