E. MANAGER’S REPORT

Deputy Mayor Veech reported the following regarding the Finance Committee:

The committee has met twice. Mike Soccio and Darren Maloney attended both meetings.
The first meeting focused on financial reports. It was decided that they would like to have the expenditures and the revenues, and the summary reports placed in a library that could always be referenced. They had suggested having the reports quarterly, at 6 months and yearly; Manager Lovell said they could be received monthly. Any other special type of financial reports that would help with benchmarking would also be put in the library. The 2013 reports will be put in the library.
Internal controls were discussed. As an example, one control, segregation of duties, is followed in that the Purchasing Department is different from the Finance Department. The committee was reassured that the township is employing best practices between the segregation of duties, the receipt books, and the audit. The committee concluded that there was nothing more which required follow up.

Manager Lovell reported that the HVAC system modification will go from a pneumatically controlled system to a digital system. The bid will go out in March with an anticipated installation in September/October. Certain portions of the buildings will be shut down each day during the installation period.

R-57-14—Discussion

Mayor Loveys asked Councilman Guadagno what his concerns were concerning Resolution No. 57-15. Councilman Guadagno stated that at this time he was not comfortable committing the Council to something in which they are not sure of the full extent. Councilman Guadagno asked what restrictions would be placed on the township if the township accepted the grant. He also asked if the township has a Green Team.

Manager Lovell stated that the township does not have an active Green Team. The grant application picks up points if there is a Green Team. Without a Green Team the application is probably not strong, but it will show the township’s strengths and weaknesses to make changes in the future.

Councilman Hirniak stated that he did not support this resolution for the following reasons:

The Community Garden project has not been presented to the Council and the Council has not offered its comments or voted on it.
The materials that are provided on the Sustainable New Jersey website as to the PSE&G grant specifically state that the township must be registered and certified with Sustainable New Jersey and have an active Green Team. He read the requirements for an active Green Team.
At this time, the Council is not in a position to submit the required documentation for the Green Team. Therefore, the township would not qualify for this grant.
He is not comfortable spending dollars which will result in a futile effort.

Councilman Napoliello stated that he agrees with the statements made by Councilman Hirniak.

WHEREAS, Randolph Township strives to save tax dollars, assure clean land, air and water, improve working and living environments; and

WHEREAS, Randolph Township is participating in the Sustainable Jersey Program; and

WHEREAS, one of the purposes of the Sustainable Jersey Program is to provide resources to municipalities to make progress on sustainability issues, and they have created a grant program called the Sustainable Jersey Small Grants Program;

WHEREAS, the Township Council of Randolph Township has agreed to apply for the aforementioned Grant for the purposes of developing a Community Garden for its residents, and to gain points toward Sustainable Jersey Certification; and

WHEREAS, this local project will support the goals of the Randolph Township Green Team and the Township’s ongoing initiatives to be a sustainable community; and

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Council of the Randolph Township in the County of Morris and State of New Jersey that the Township hereby authorizes and supports the application to the Sustainable Jersey Small Grant Program for the Township’s Community Garden, and authorize the following:

A. Submission of the aforementioned Sustainable Jersey Grant for the development of the Community Garden.

I. DISCUSSION ITEMS

1. MC Affordable Housing Funds Application

Manager Lovell explained that the resolution in support of the Morris County Affordable Housing Funds Application requires the Mayor’s signature.

2. Set Limits of Liability Insurance (optional liability)

Manager Lovell reported that MEL JIF provided coverage information for the other MEL JIF members statewide:

Those with $15,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000-31% of the membership have opted for that coverage.
Those with $10,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000-4% of the membership.
Those with $5,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000-21% of the membership.
Those with $2,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000-12% of the membership.

Manager Lovell recommended the Council increase the coverage to at least $10,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000. There was some discussion about increasing the coverage or leaving it as it is currently.

3. Tax Maps and Revaluation (PSA for tax maps February 6 agenda)

Manager Lovell explained that in his Memorandum to the Council regarding tax map preparation, he recommended that the firm Civil Solutions be brought on board. This is the firm that last updated the township tax maps. He, Barbara Gothie, Mike Soccio, Paul Ferriero, and Darren Carney have been working on this issue and looking at working with Civil Solutions on their proposal. After the selection of a firm to update the tax map, the next step is the selection of a revaluation firm. The Manager suggested that a Council committee be created to begin that process as well as have a public relations responsibility. The County Board of Taxation wants the revaluation in September 2016 and it will be on the books in 2017.

All were in favor of authorizing Manager Lovell to place a Professional Services Agreement for tax map preparation to Civil Solutions on the February 6, 2014 agenda.

4. Process to Fill the Council Vacancy and Set Interview Date

Ed Buzak explained that since the former Mayor was a member of a political party that the County Committee is required to offer 3 candidates to the full Council within 15 days of the date of the resignation; in this case it must be to the Township Clerk no later than the 22nd of January. The Council then has 30 days from the date of the resignation to appoint one of those three people. The selected person will serve until the term expires of the person he or she replaced, which in this case is through the end of this year. Interviews will be conducted at the February 6, 2014 meeting.

5. Butterworth Sewer Projects

Manager Lovell reported the following:

Phase I is wrapping up.
In the next couple of weeks Phase II will go out to bid. This is a pump station at the boundary with Morris Township, combined with a sewer gravity feed that will go down Sussex Turnpike and get into the Phase I project. The developer of the Kushner Project is set to get a proposal to Ed Buzak; they will be sharing in the cost of the project. The Manager has given Paul Ferriero the go ahead to get the specifications in final form.
Phase III will upgrade the existing pump station on Musiker Avenue and a small pump station will be put on Shunpike Road; there will be a line connecting them. There is currently a Request for Proposal out for engineering firms to do the design work.

J. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Seeing no one from the public, the public portion was closed.

K. COUNCIL COMMENTS

Councilman Napoliello reported that the by-laws for the Municipal Alliance Committee (MAC) are inconsistent with the resolution which defines the MAC. Mayor Loveys stated that the MAC needs to update their by-laws to be in compliance with the resolution. He and Councilman Napoliello will meet with the Chairperson, Liz Ritter, and any other members to discuss the resolution and the by-laws in order to bring them into compliance.

Councilman Hirniak suggested that the Council create a committee of 3 to look at the ordinances that create committees and consider having 2 student liaisons on committees as well as enabling those student liaisons to have voting rights. A discussion item will be included on the February 6th agenda to create a work group.

Deputy Mayor Veech stated that on February 6th she will ask for a work group to be created to look at Sustainable New Jersey efforts, creating a Green Team, determining the feasibility of what that might be for Randolph.

There was discussion on the Wall Committee and infrastructure work group.

Manager Lovell reported that as part of the 2014 capital program, the walls targeted for redevelopment will be assigned; at that time, a presentation will be made by Paul Ferriero. There are two aspects of it:

Where an area can be graded and not have a wall, grade it out. Where the area can be graded down and the wall be lowered, that should be done.
Where there is no way of getting around a wall, the property will be specially assessed. The Council will determine what percentage of it will be specially assessed. There is a small project at Heistein Park that is expected to be done in the spring/summer so when the residents ask what they are getting for their special assessment, they can go there to view an example of a wall.

Mayor Loveys reported that the EDC had their first meeting; Trina Mitsch is the new Chairperson and Joe DeFeo is the Vice Chair.
