REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS

 

Frank Conrad: discussed upgrading the aging phone system for municipal offices. The new equipment would be under a 3-year lease and it was estimated that it would save the Township five to six thousand dollars a year.  

 

Kristine Gabor: made a motion to hire two part time seasonal employees for the Recreation Department, Mike Dugan and Joshua Dubrille; motion was seconded by Mayor Palombo. During roll call vote all five Committee members voted in the affirmative. Ms. Gabor also made a motion to designate $20,000 from the Recreation Development Fund to upgrade maintenance at Amanda’s field.  Motion was seconded by Frank Conrad and during roll call vote, all five Committee members voted in the affirmative.

She also reported on a recent Recreation Committee meeting regarding Cheerleading, she met with the Cheerleading Association and Stephen Martinelli, (committee chairman) to discuss issues they were having and to go over new guidelines for the association.

Ms. Gabor further reported that she met with a resident of Upper Township who presented ideas to improve the basketball court at Caldwell Park.  There are funds available in the budget so she is looking into some of his suggestions for upgrades and to expand some programs for adults and children. Last weekend she attended the brunch for Pastor Henry Anderson honoring him for his 10 years of service to the Tuckahoe United Methodist Church. She presented the Pastor with a resolution on behalf of The Township Committee.  She discussed Animal Control and the need to review procedures for wildlife. If wildlife proposes a health risk or safety hazard they are required to address it. There was some confusion during recent calls received regarding ground hogs, skunks, etc. Animal Control was giving out the number for NJ Wildlife. Wildlife was saying it was not their responsibility. She recommended reviewing the contract with Animal Control to eliminate confusion in the future. Ms. Gabor reported that she had one item for closed session regarding personnel.

 

Jay Newman, wanted to remind everyone that the fire companies will be at the fireworks assisting and is asking for everyone’s cooperation with traffic in and out which is always an issue. On a personal note he recently traveled to Haiti on a mission trip with his church for a week.  He commented that “it was truly an eye opening experience and everyone should be thankful that we live in the country we live in”.

 

Richard Palombo, acknowledged Barbara Spiegel’s successful completion of the course Principles of Public Purchasing I. He reported on letters received from the NJDEP regarding the homeowners that have groundwater contamination near the NJDOT Maintenance Yard in Petersburg. The State is saying to each homeowner with well water contaminated with high levels of lead that the lead in their water was probably caused by their own pipes and not from any contamination from NJDOT. He questioned how they can come to that conclusion without coming out and determining what kind of pipes are in these homes. He was concerned that possibly the residents were being treated unfairly and requested as a follow-up that the state take water samples at each homes well site prior to contact with the house pipes. 

He reported that there are two resolutions that need to be added to the agenda tonight regarding lifeguards hourly rates and one that determines rank added as item ten and eleven. Mr. Palombo made a motion to hire David Neville as the fourth beach cleanup person.  Frank Conrad seconded the motion with all five Committee members voting in the affirmative. Mr. Palombo suggested that the blazer be used for the beach clean up people since there are four of them and Brenda’s truck only holds 3. He announced that Lifeguard Rookie tryouts are on Saturday and since the next meeting is in two weeks, Curtis Corson made a motion for the mayor to authorize the hiring of up to 3 people as needed to the Beach Patrol to be ratified at the next meeting.  Jay Newman seconded the motion with all five Committee members voting in the affirmative. On a final note he reported that thank you notes were received from grade school children thanking the Committee for the MAC (MUNICIPAL ALLIANCE) program, which were very much appreciated by the Committee.

CORRESPONDENCE

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

  1. City Tri—Annual Triathlon event, August 15, 2010—Request the use of Beesley’s Point Beach from 7:30 AM. to noon. Several issues on this matter were discussed. The Committee directed the Municipal Clerk to communicate to the race director that the Township will impose the same conditions as last year and if they can agree to that then the Committee will precede with a resolution.

Items discussed are as follows:  Last year 300 participants were permitted.  This year’s request is for 350. Other requirements--no use of our lifeguards permitted unless they are off duty, and no use of Township equipment.  Sponsor must provide 6-7 police officers for security for this event.  The event will close the Boat Ramp on the morning of the 15th; the sponsors request to start setting up the day before (Saturday) at noon which would close the boat ramp another day. They will not be able to set up until after 6:30 PM on Saturday.

 

  1. Stanley Huston-request for reimbursement of an overpayment on a Boat Ramp permit. Mr. Huston paid for a non-resident permit rather than a resident permit paying $50 more than what was required.  Motion to approve his request by Frank Conrad, second by Curtis Corson, with all five Committee members voting in the affirmative.

 

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

 

  1. Street Vacation for Rue and Fagan, Block 827, Strathmere.  Mrs. Fagan, and Mr. Rosenbaum were present for the discussion. A letter was received from Mr. Lindner a neighbor, via email opposing the vacation.  Mr. Lindner’s letter stated that he uses the alley access to get to his garage.  Municipal Attorney Dan Young, explained that the issue the Committee had to address was whether or not there is a public purpose now or foreseen in the future for the alley. Mr. Rosenbaum of 701 Bayview Avenue addressed the Committee he explained that they would like to put a new septic system further from their house.  Motion was made to vacate the portion of the alley between Randolph and Putnam and adjacent to Lot 3.  Motion made by Curtis Corson, second by Kristine Gabor.  During roll call vote all five Committee members voted in the affirmative.  An ordinance will be placed on a future agenda.
