REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS

 

Curtis Corson, Deputy Mayor presided over the meeting tonight and requested that the Clerk put the Noise Ordinance on the next agenda for introduction. 

 

Frank Conrad: Congratulated Barbara Spiegel on the successful completion of the “Principals in Public Purchasing” course.

 

Kristine Gabor: Reported that the Fall Free Rabies Clinic is scheduled for Saturday October 23, 2010 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. She also discussed a request from the Girls Scouts for use of the Community Center for a roller skating event.  She made a motion to grant the request provided they comply with all Township requirements.  Frank Conrad seconded motion with all four Committee members present voting in the affirmative. Ms. Gabor also reported on a request from a representative of Mary Kay Cosmetics to hold an event at the Community Center. Motion to deny the Mary Kay request and all other for profit vendors. During roll call vote all four Committee members voted in the affirmative. She also reported that the Upper Township Soccer Association has requested use of the soccer fields at Amanda’s Field, Middle School, the Tuckahoe and Tyler Davis fields for the Endless Summer Soccer Tournament on August 20th and 21st  2011.

 

Jay Newman: reported on fire that broke out last Tuesday night in Petersburg. All fire companies and the Rescue Squad worked well together.  The Township fire companies were able to contain the fire to one side of the building. Although the Rescue Squad transported one resident to the hospital, no injuries were reported for the fire companies or rescue personnel.

Mr. Newman also reported on correspondence from Comcast Cable Television Company regarding the renewal of Municipal consent for the franchise agreement. Mr. Young reported that the franchise agreement is for the Strathmere section of the Township. The reason it is not for the entire municipality is that historically two separate companies served the Township, one for the Mainland which expires in 2013 and one for Strathmere which expires in 2011; although now they are both covered by Comcast.  The BPU will be sending the Township a letter with an outline of the requirements.

Mr. Corson suggested that if the plans are confirmed the bin can be placed at the Community Center. She also reported she has one item for closed session regarding a personnel matter.

 

Daniel Young, Municipal Attorney: reported that he has several items for closed session: Litigation Grubb v. Upper Township, a matter of Contract negotiations, Potential Shared Services Agreement with the County of Cape May and Personnel matters.

 

Paul Dietrich, Municipal Engineer:  reported he had one item for closed session that being the Paynter litigation matter.  He requested authorization to replace the bulkhead on Whittier Avenue in Strathmere with plans for the construction to begin in the spring of 2011.

Mr. Dietrich also discussed that snow fence along Commonwealth Avenue had been removed. He also reported that November 2nd thru the 17th the CMC Department of Corrections and the Clean Shores program will be putting up new snow fence in Strathmere.

 

Mr. Corson then stated that conflict attorney, Norman Briggs was in attendance tonight to represent the Township on three conflict items, one of which was a closed session item, the Paynter Litigation matter.  The three conflict items would be taken first to allow Mr. Briggs to leave after his matters were complete.

 

Mr. Young stepped down and Mr. Briggs took the attorney’s place at the table.  The closed session matter was considered first.  At 7:35 PM the Committee moved to go into closed session, the closed session resolution was read into the record by Mr. Newman and can be found following this paragraph.  Mr. Corson then stated that rather than clearing the courtroom, the Committee, Mr. Briggs, the Clerk, and the Engineer would move to the conference room to discuss this matter, and they left the room.  Mr. Young and Ms. Spiegel remained behind and did not leave the courtroom.

Mr. Briggs confirmed that due to the fact there are three adjacent property owners, sale of the parcel would require a public auction. The parcel is 44,000 sq. ft., 40 ft. by 200ft.
