De Palma and Chaikin presented a chart to the councilmen, showing Atlantic Highlands resolves to form Bayshore study panel ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS The Atlantic Highlands Harbor Commission last night resolved to form a five-member, bipartisan committee to serve as liaison to a Bayshore study program. Former Democratic Mayor James R.

Snyder was the only appointment confirmed lastnight. An additional Democrat, two Republicans, and an Independent are being sought to round out the committee. The Port Authority of New York BY BOB NEFF and New Jersey and the county are conducting a $200,000 study of possible redevelopment for municipalities along Raritan Bay's southern coast. The committee will seek funding from state and federal agencies to aid the Bayshore regional study program, because the program affects Atlantic Highlands. "The type of committee has more power than any of us (members of the Harbor Commission) to reach politicians and agencies and get funding," said Harbor Commission member Jack Kelleher.

One commission member dis- Budget introduced MATAWAN The MatawanAberdeen Regional Board of Education introduced a budget Monday for the 1985-86 school year, despite expressed discontent with the transfer of a student program as part of budget revisions. The board approved the budget by a 6-2 vote, at the same time approving a proposal to transfer the Educational Opportunity Program also called the alternative high school program from direction by high school officials to supervision by adult high school authorities. The budget is $21,787,845, up $1,176,920 from the current school year. The program, in which 35 students are enrolled, is designed to help students, who are individually tutored in lieu of being taught in classes at Matawan Regional High School. Enrollment in the program, which is conducted at the Haley Hose Fire decreased because of improvements in the high school, according to Michael Klavon, deputy superintedent of schools.

Marie Panos, president of the Matawan Regional Teachers Association, protested the move, saying it's being made without input from faculty members. Alternative high school students would be forced to drop out of the high school, would lose their eligibility for its diplomas, and would be separated from their friends, she said. Board member Marilyn Brenner expressed concern that the move could rob some students of individual teacher attention and the education they are "entitled to." The board rejected, by a 5-3 vote, a motion from Brenner to increase the budget cap by $95,000 to finance the program if the board were to decide to keep it as it is.

Frotton said he voted against forming the committee because he felt the matter should be discussed further in a workshop session. "Be cautious, that's all I'm saying," Frotton said. "We're working in a political environment the harbor is always a political issue." The committee will report all findings to the Harbor Commission and function only under the direction of the commission, according to Kelleher. The Borough Council is scheduled to meet tonight and appoint a chairman to a similar five-member committee, which is expected to comprise the same members as the commission's committee. Although he would not predict the type of work that should be done in each section of the township.

The project calls for three methods of road repair in Cliffwood, Strathmore and Freneau, according to the engineers. other nominations for the committee, Snyder said he hoped to be joined by other former mayors and councilmen. "They've been there, they know what goes on," he said. Snyder served on the council in the late sixties and as mayor in 1970 and 1971. "We've got to clean up First Avenue, and get a senior citizen's project going in the borough," Snyder said intentions while on the committee.

"That's what it comes down to." Snyder is chairman of the Board of Directors an president of King James Corporations, which built King James Senior Citizens Housing and Eastpointe condominiums, both here.

De Palma said the work will begin on 1 streets which need the most work, using a "priority list" given to him by Michael Trotta, director of the township's Public Works and Recreation Department. He said, however, that the "total cost (to rebuild) all the priority streets amounts to more than $1.6 "Once these roads are fixed, there will be other roads that need fixing," said Mayor Burton Morachnick. "It's an ongoing problem We have to do the best we can." monies become available, we should rebuild the roads in order of priority," said Mark Coren, borough manager. "You have to spend money in order to save money; you have to invest in the assets of the town We are in a favorable economic climate at this point to implement the plan." Coren said he will discuss details of the project with De Palma. "The bottom line is that this town has to spend $300,000 a year to rebuild its roads," said Councilman Theodore A.

Fitch. Councilman Eugene T. Sadowski described the the project as "a good, shot" at rebuilding the township's roads. The councilmen agreed to call for bids from construction companies in May or June in order for the project to start in July or August.

McGinty said: "Any and all leads we get will be checked out fully. We hope that he is safe somewhere." Police have searched the area surrounding his home, located about two blocks from a railroad yard here, he said, and on Jan. 22 a jacket found along the railroad was identified by Mrs. Crank as one Mr. Crank had been wearing.

ASBURY PARK The city is studying proposals from developers who want to take part in revitalizing the oceanfront section, but plans immediate comment on them, a city official said yesterday. Perry Lehrer, a senior administrative analyst for the city, said last week that all bids postmarked by last Friday, the deadline set for acceptance, would be studied by the Waterfront Management Commission before any announcement is made. The commission is headed by V.

James Rifici. Yesterday, Lehrer said he did not expect any of the proposals to be made public "in the near future." Several weeks ago, developers were invited to hear a presentation of a plan prepared by Norman Day, of Norman Day Associates, Philadelphia, the city's planning consultant. The presentation called for dividing the waterfront area, from the boardwalk to Grand Avenue, into five sections. The guests also took a bus tour of the sites to be redeveloped. The plan calls for 1,055 new housing units in the northern beachfront section, with 900 of these on the boardwalk.

Buildings on the boardwalk would be limited to 35 or 40 feet in height, Day said. For the southern beachfront secnotion, 800 new dwelling units are proposed, most of them along the boardwalk. There are no residential units on the boardwalk now. Another 400 new residential units are planned for the lower Cookman Avenue section. The amusement area would be clustered in the southern section of the city, around the casino, while up to 450 hotel rooms and 50,000 square feet of exhibit space are planned in the Convention Hall section.

Last week Lehrer said the city hoped developers could "strike bargains" property owners in the redevelopment area, but if this was not done the city would use its power of condemnation under the state redevelopment law. He said the city owns almost 50 percent of the property. If the city accepts a proposal, it will enter into negotiations with the developer, who would submit a preliminary plan, a basic concept drawing, and an implementation plan to the city, Lehrer said.
