MANALAPAN - The Manalapan summer recreation program will no longer pick up the cost of economic waivers for children from Englishtown who cannot pay the $500 registration fee.
Manalapan is asking Englishtown to cover the costs for children from that town who cannot pay to participate in the summer program.
Manalapan officials are still waiting to hear back from Englishtown representatives on a letter that was sent to the Englishtown Borough Council regarding economic waivers for the 2008 summer recreation program, according to Mayor Michelle Roth.
Roth was discussing the recent reorganization of the Manalapan Recreation Advisory Board when she noted that a letter which had been sent to Englishtown several months ago regarding the attendance of Englishtown youths at Manalapan's summer recreation program has gone unanswered.
Roth said it is only fair to expect Englishtown to contribute something toward the summer recreation program expenses.
"We welcome everyone into our summer program, however, the only waivers we will be continuing to consider will be for Manalapan residents. It's not fair to Manalapan taxpayers and really is the responsibility of the Englishtown Borough Council" to provide payment for Englishtown children who cannot afford to pay for the recreation program, she said, adding, "We are anxiously awaiting a response from Englishtown."
