APPROVAL OF MINUTES - February 25, 2008 Regular Meeting and
REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS
Frank Conrad, reported that another sport, LaCrosse has been added to the Rec. program. He made a motion to appoint Peter Schuler as the Recreation member in charge of the LaCrosse program, and William Bailey as the Alternate. Jay Newman seconded the motion with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
He discussed correspondence he received from an organization wanting to hold a sports clinic at the Community Center, “Basketball at the Beach”. It is a for-profit event however they are donating proceeds from the concessions stands back to the association. The request will be forwarded to the Recreation Committee. Mr. Young stated that proof of background checks and insurance would need to be provided.
Mr. Conrad reported on the recent rabies clinics in that over 265 animals were inoculated.
Barbara Camp, reported that long-time Supervisor of Roads, Jon Grubb has retired and that there is a resolution on this evening’s agenda thanking him for his 32+ years of service to the Township. She made a motion to appoint Laurence Bond as Supervisor of Roads and LeRoy Shone as Assistant Supervisor of Roads. There is no change in salary as they both are already working in the acting capacity of those positions with the appropriate salary. Jay Newman seconded the motion with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative. Mrs. Camp also made a motion to appoint Thomas Woolley as Supervising Equipment Operator effective March 14th. Jay Newman seconded the motion with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
Jay Newman, made a motion to hire John Salmons as a part time EMT. Motion was seconded by Frank Conrad with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative. He reported on the recent rainstorms that occurred over the weekend and that they resulted in very little damage to the Township.
He reported on the Township Committee’s request at the last meeting for him to investigate some issues that arose with the State Police and their response times to Strathmere. Since then the States budget has been presented and it looks as though the State Police protection of small communities has become an issue again. He has started to investigate response times and protection afforded us by the State Police. In addition, he is looking into other avenues we could take if the relationship with the Township and the State Police were to change, including paying the State Police, paying another department to patrol Upper Township, form our own department, or use County Sheriffs. He stated that although this may be a few years away it is wise for us to look at this now.
He also reported that the new ambulance is in service.
Mayor Richard Palombo, commented on the State Police matter and that the Township gives the State over $400,000 from our court fees collected from traffic tickets. The issue is if we are paying for police protection could some of that be used to contribute towards that payment. The state may have overlooked the fact that we contribute that much money. Also, the Township is over 48% open space much of it state owned property, and there is a requirement that the State patrol their own property. Mr. Newman also stated that he is extremely happy with the State Police protection and that they do a great job. Unfortunately circumstances are forcing us to go out and look at other avenues because of the potential monetary issues the state has imposed upon us.
The Mayor reminded everyone of the public meeting on March 12th from 4PM to 7PM, to discuss the Rt. 49 Bridge Replacement project. He discussed the Gypsy Moth meeting from last week and that he received a number of calls from sections of Tuckahoe that are not included in the State’s survey spray area. We have allocated $300,000 to be used for gypsy moth spraying, and he wants to propose the areas affected last year and not included in the survey be sprayed in our second aerial program; at a minimum that all areas be sprayed at least once.
He reported on a meeting he attended in Strathmere that addressed the new fishing laws and that sometime in the future they may ask for a supporting resolution to assist sport fisherman which are a big part of the tourist attraction in Cape May County.
He also discussed that with the retirement of Jon Grubb and the passing away of Elizabeth Bergus there are two openings as Emergency Management coordinators. He proposed meeting with Jay Newman and John Deuter this week and interview applicants to get the positions filled.
He discussed an Eagle Scout project planned for the Veterans Park on Rt. 9 and a letter we received from the National Parks Service requesting that another sign be placed at the site.
He made a motion to hire Patricia Smyth as a clerk-typist to the Clerk’s Office. Motion was seconded by Frank Conrad with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.
Daniel Young, Municipal Attorney, reported that the B.L. England tax appeal has been withdrawn as a result of a meeting both he and Mayor Palombo attended.
Both he and Paul Dietrich will meet with the NJDEP and Bureau of Tidelands on March 17th to hopefully resolve remaining issues on the long term Strathmere Beach Replenishment project, such as easements and the permitting of it. They will attempt to get verification from Bureau of Tidelands as to the high tide line so then it would not be necessary to obtain easements on any of the properties that are seaward of that line, which would expedite the program process.
He asked to discuss one item in executive session, that being the Kevin Grubb matter.
Paul Dietrich, Municipal Engineer, reported that Upper Township was again a recycling leader in Cape May County. County statistics show that Upper Township is far exceeding the County expectations as far as recycling and he credits this to the fine work of our Public Works Department.
He reported that the sand hauling into Strathmere is about half complete. Approximately 6000 cubic yards of sand was placed on the beach last week and he anticipates the balance to be done this week. The contractor will then start the grading of the slopes phase. He reported that there were minor losses of sand during the recent storm.
He reported that within the next couple of days Community Service personnel will be picking up trash along Roosevelt Blvd, Tuckahoe Rd., and on the Strathmere beach.
Patricia Garbutt, Personnel Officer, reported that she had one personnel item to discuss in executive session.
