REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS
Barbara Camp, reported that there will be bid openings next week for a generator for the Community Center, two trucks and an ambulance. She made a motion to hire Curtis Mason as a part time employee to the Dept. of Public works. Curtis Corson seconded with the four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
Curtis Corson, Deputy Mayor made a motion to enter into an interlocal agreement with Upper Township School District for the joint purchasing of copy paper and office supplies. Motion was seconded by Barbara Camp with the four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
He made a motion to hire Rosemary Trout as clerk typist assigned to the Clerk’s Office, Barbara Camp seconded with all the four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
He discussed the gypsy moth infestation throughout the Township, and the potential tree damage. The Mayor and Committee recognized that a mistake was made in not budgeting for gypsy moth spraying. All the facts that were available at the time were considered when the decision not to participate was made. The specifics were as follows: all indications were that no matching funds would be available, and then notification of available funding being received very late into the budget process, the spray program line item would have had to fall under the State imposed budget cap resulting with other services being reduced or eliminated, approximately 15% of the acreage identified for the spray program was state and federal properties, many of the property owners we heard from were not included in the area identified by the state program, there was correspondence received from the NJ Pinelands and an environmental group questioning the use of the insecticide dimilin. The Committee agreed that the program needs to continue and that budget money would be allocated next year. Committeeman Corson proposed having a forester survey the Township as well as the entomologist from the State.
Jay Newman, reported on the sports programs. Baseball is in full swing, and Football sign-ups are ongoing. He recommended consulting the Township website at Uppertownship.com for sports sign-up information.
Richard Palombo, Mayor, directed that the Engineer pursue Municipal Aid funding for a bike path within the Township. He reminded the public to attend the Municipal Employees Blood Drive July 3, 2007 from 2:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.; and to attend the Cape May County Beach Conference on June 18, 2007 from 10:00 A.M. until noon.
