APPROVAL OF MINUTES - December 22, 2008 Regular Meeting and
REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS
Frank Conrad, reported he has one Personnel item for discussion in closed session. He discussed a letter received from the NJDOT regarding the recent request for speed limit reductions and a “No Passing” zone on Rt. 557 near Mill Road in Tuckahoe. It was discussed that the County of Cape May has jurisdiction over Rt. 557 so the approval for the items requested would be a County decision rather than come the State.
Barbara Camp, made a motion to hire John Mayberry as a full time laborer for the Dept. of Public Works effective the next pay period. Curtis Corson second with all four Committee members voting in the affirmative.
She reported the end of year statistics for the Dept. of Public Works in that they collected a total of 9551.906 tons of solid waste, and 5017.586 tons of recyclables with a solid waste reduction rate of 52.5 % in 2008. In addition, 1,014 tons of loose leaves were also collected.
Jay Newman, has one Potential Litigation item for discussion in closed session. He discussed the EMS Department activities and that they answered 94 calls in December.
Curtis Corson, Deputy Mayor, reported that the Township received $229,000 for hosting the CMCMUA. The payment represents the benefit for a six-month period.
He discussed a letter written by a resident that was published in the Gazette this past week. The letter writer asks the Committee to “use every cent of Strathmere’s tax money to replenish the beach”. Mr. Corson stated that Upper Township has no Local Purpose Tax which means that not one cent of taxes collected stays in Upper Township. As illustrated on our tax bills tax money is distributed to the School Board, the County and the fire districts. None of the tax money stays in the Township because we have no Local Purpose Tax.
He discussed that the Committee will start to work on the 2009 Budget and that the first work meeting is scheduled for January 26, 2009 at 6:00 PM. The meetings are open to the public and he invited everyone to attend. He distributed the Budget work packets to the Committee.
Daniel Young, Municipal Attorney, reported that he has one Litigation matter in regards to the Strathmere condemnation proceedings and one Contract Negotiation matter in regards to the Animal Control contract for discussion in closed session.
Paul Dietrich, Municipal Engineer, discussed the Gypsy Moth program for this year. The State’s October survey of egg masses recommended that 1,176 acres be treated for the pest. The acreage was increased slightly to include a small heavily infested area that was not treated last year. The estimated cost to budget for this year is $75,000 and is well below the cost of last year’s program. A resolution will be placed on the next agenda and be advertised for public hearing.
He briefly discussed the RFP’s received for the study of the Upper Township/Corbin City consolidation issue. Corbin City will act as lead agency.
He discussed a call from a resident on Brewhaus Lane requesting that speed humps and “Children at Play” signs be installed. The Committee directed him to inspect the street to determine if spend humps were necessary and to contact the NJ State Police to add the street to their watch list. Andrew Eget, from 10 Brewhaus Lane was present and presented a petition signed by residents concerned with the speeding traffic on that street. Motion was made by Curtis Corson, second by Jay Newman to direct the Engineer to inspect Brewhaus as well as Ortlieb for placement of speed humps and additional signage. During roll call vote all four Committee members voted in the affirmative.
Mr. Dietrich reported that in regards to the Strathmere Beach Fill project that the final plans have been sent to the NJDEP and to the Army Corps of Engineers for approval and permits.
Barbara Spiegel, Chief Financial Officer, reported that a Blood Drive is scheduled at Township Hall on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. On behalf of the Tax Assessor Megan McAfee, the organizer of the event, she asked the Committee to donate one day with pay. As an incentive for people to sign up, any employee donating blood will be given a change to win the day off. Motion was made by Curtis Corson, second by Jay Newman to approve the request. During roll call vote all four Committee members voted in the affirmative.
