REPORT OF GOVERNING BODY MEMBERS
Wanda Gaglione, Township Clerk, reminded everyone of Trick or Treat night scheduled for Wednesday October 31, 2007 from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M.
She also reported on the success of the first Upper Township Employee Health Fair held earlier today and sponsored by our insurance organization, the Atlantic County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund.
Daniel Young, Municipal Attorney, commented on the result of the legal action filed by the Strathmere Citizen’s Association for a request for emergent relief. The association was asking for an immediate order to send the request for deannexation to the Planning Board. The request for emergent relief was denied by the court. The Court said that there was no irreparable harm. More importantly, the court dismissed the case on the grounds that the claims made against the Township were without merit and that the petition did not comply with the specific requirements of the statute. He also reported that the court confirmed the Township acted reasonably and appropriately in all respects to the rejection of the petition and that there were no violations of the Open Public Meeting Act.
Paul Dietrich, Township Engineer, reported that the paving program was underway. The roads were completed last week; the tennis courts at Caldwell Park and Southwoods are also scheduled for completion this year. He also reported that he received a quote to hire a consultant for a fee of $950 to complete a study of the Township’s Flood Insurance Rating. The program would assess the flood zones in the Township and determine where the Township stands with regard to the regulations. This study may possibly mean a reduction in the rates for flood insurance for our residents. Motion to approve the study by Jay Newman, second by Barbara Camp with the four Committee members present voting in the affirmative. Mr. Dietrich also reported that as part of the Township’s Plan Endorsement process, recent reports were submitted to the Pinelands for certification. A large part of the Township is outside of the Pinelands Management Area but still within the National Reserve. The Pinelands Commission has a separate procedure to certify the plans. He will continue to report on the matter as information becomes available.
He also commented that the Upper Township Gazette would be publishing a new map of the Township and asked whether the Committee wanted information publicized on the map. The Committee declined the expense as that information is already being published in the Township Bulletin which is distributed in the Gazette, through the new resident packets, and on the website.
Frank Conrad, reported on a lighting problem at Caldwell Park in that the area of the concession stand was too dark. He asked that the Committee authorize Paul Dietrich to check to see what additional lighting can be added to insure safety and security of the site. He also reported that he has been in contact with the management company developing the new Shop Rite complex in Marmora, scheduled to have their ground breaking in the near future. The opening date is targeted for the fall of 2008. He also commented that they are currently accepting new leases for the stores and that the complex will enhance our tax base. He discussed the new businesses opening up in the Township. In the Tuckahoe area the diner is reopening; a new pizza shop has opened and a couple of new businesses are looking at the Train Station area.
Barbara Camp reported that the Township Department of Public Works continues to collect trash, recycling and compost five days a week. The solid waste reduction rate as of the latest report was at a rate of 40%. She also reported that the Sanitation Inspector has been out working with residents to correct problems before they result in sanitation violation matters in municipal court. She also commented that 41 tons of brush was collected during the last reporting period and that loose-leaf collection would start around the week of November 13th. She also thanked the Department of Public Works carpenter crew for their work on the Township Hall. Rather than contracting out for the work, our employees completed the necessary maintenance on the building. They power washed the building, painted the clock tower, completed minor roof repairs, and installed drains in the parking lot.
Jay Newman, commented that the annual barbecue hosted by Upper Township Indians, was well attended. He also reported on an email received from Rob Winder asking for an amendment to the ordinance to allow residents to walk their pets on the walking jogging path at Amanda’s Field. Mr. Newman also commented that he spoke with another resident in the area of Amanda’s Field that asked to see the Township designate a specific area for use as a dog park. Motion to direct the Township Attorney to review the Dog Ordinance, by Jay Newman second by Barbara Camp with the four Committee members present voting in the affirmative. Mr. Newman also commented that he received another email with respect to the
Township holiday schedule. The Mayor commented that the holiday schedule is established at the annual reorganization meeting in January but suggested a tentative schedule.
Motion to approve the tentative schedule of holidays by Barbara Camp, second by Mayor Palombo with four committee members present voting in the affirmative.
Richard Palombo, Mayor commented that Election Day is November 6th from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. He also reported on a news release he received from Pepco Holdings, the company that owns Atlantic City Electric. The news release reported they have received approval to install a 230-mile interstate power line. The report indicates the construction would be situated along existing structures in order to lower the impact to the environment. Mayor Palombo directed Paul Dietrich, Township Engineer to monitor the project. Mayor Palombo thanked Dan Young, Township Attorney for all his hard work and expertise with the matter concerning the Strathmere request for deannexation.
