Motion was made by Curtis Corson, second by Barbara Camp to approve the Minutes as written.  All four Committee members voted in the affirmative. 

 

REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS

 

Frank Conrad, reported he received a letter from the NJ Turnpike Authority in that our request for a full exchange at GSP Exit 20 was again turned down for environmental and economic issues especially with a northbound interchange. Mr. Conrad made a motion that the Township request a southbound exit from the Turnpike Authority, Curtis Corson seconded, with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative.  A resolution will be placed on a future agenda.

Mr. Conrad congratulated Mayor Palombo on his success in the recent primary election.

 

Mayor Palombo commented that he received several emails from residents regarding various sports groups of the Recreation Department.  He will set up a meeting with the Recreation Committee to discuss their policies, by-laws, and statements to insure transparency.  It was discussed that the Township Committee has control of the sports programs and that they appoint individuals to represent each sport.

 

Curtis Corson, Deputy Mayor, presented a letter received from new Township resident

Ralph Johnson regarding his request to park his tractor trailer on Township property.  Unfortunately the Township cannot accommodate the request and Mr. Corson suggested that Mr. Johnson look at a private contractors.

 

Richard Palombo, Mayor, reported that he received several emails from Township residents regarding the Route 49 Bridge project and he wanted to confirm anticipated completion dates before responding.  Mr. Dietrich confirmed the date provided by Department of Transportation is June 19th

Mayor Palombo also received complaints from residents regarding the beach path on Randolph Avenue and a private lot being overgrown with poison ivy.   Mr. Dietrich will look into it.

The Mayor asked Mr. Dietrich to look into alternating locations of the “Porta-Potties” in Strathmere; a location close to the beach but that would present the least “eyesore” for the public.  The original thought of alternating streets does not seem to be working. 

The Mayor reported on the reaction to the recent Supreme Court findings regarding Sex Offender Residency Ordinances in that many municipalities throughout New Jersey are drafting resolutions and sending them to NJ Legislature in support of passing Assembly Bill 3128 known as the Jessica Lunsford Act. This law puts forth tougher penalties for aiding or harboring sex offenders.  Mayor Palombo made a motion to draft a resolution supporting the adoptions of this new law, Curtis Corson seconded.  During roll call vote all four Committee members voted in the affirmative.

Mayor Palombo announced a Red Cross Blood Drive would be held at Township Hall, June 30th from 1p.m. to 7p.m.  Curtis Corson made a motion to offer a day off with pay as a prize to encourage employee participation in the blood drive, the day off with pay will be awarded to the lucky employee whose name in picked from all employees donating blood. Motion was seconded by Barbara Camp with all four Committee members present voting affirmative.

 

OTHER REPORTS

 

Daniel Young, Municipal Attorney, presented a letter from one of the vendors with regards to the fees charged for the electronic transfer of annual records.  The vendor requests that an amendment be made to the ordinance to read $800 as the annual fee. There was discussion as to whether or not the request is in line with other municipalities, which it is. 

Mr. Young has three items for closed session this evening; the first is an item under Contract Negotiations, the second are two Litigation matters concerning Sansone and Yank; and the third under Litigation, is a report on the outstanding tax appeals. 

 

Paul Dietrich, Municipal Engineer, reported that the turtle-fencing project is finished. 

There is approximately 2000 ft. of fencing left which may be used in other areas of the Township.

He also reported the contractor for the beach fill project was on site over the weekend. 

The NJDEP has not as yet committed to a start date however representatives will attend the next meeting (June 22) to give a PowerPoint presentation on the project.
