RE-OPEN PUBLIC PORTION

The public portion of the meeting was re-opened at 7:05 p.m.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Judith Stewart, 114 Everdale Road, asked how many police pursuit vehicles were included in the Combined Action Item DD, #15-A. Manager Lovell replied that it was for three vehicles.

Seeing no one else from the public, Mayor Guadagno closed the public portion.

MANAGER’S REPORT

Manager Lovell reported that he and the Council received notice that the $200,000.00 grant for the reconstruction of Franklin Rd. was signed. He reported that it was a little shy of what had been requested, and the Township will have to make up the difference. The project is being carried to 2013 due to the South Salem Street Bridge being out. Permission will be asked of the Council at a future meeting to undertake another grant application related to this project. The Manager stated that he would like to replace the asphalt sidewalk that runs along Franklin Rd. from about South Morris St. all the way down to South Salem Street, and then do a sidewalk improvement of South Salem Street to the K-Mart shopping center entrance.

Manager Lovell reported that the Library/Community Center and the Public Works Maintenance Garage are moving along quickly, and the staff will begin to move in next week. The Library/Community Center budget is going to be tight, but felt that it would be fine; the Public Works Maintenance Garage budget isn’t as tight. The Manager has received many compliments from residents regarding both projects.

COMBINED ACTION ITEMS

Mayor Guadagno asked a question regarding Item d, the refund overpayment for the A&P. He asked if they receive the refund despite having outstanding violations.

Manager Lovell responded that it is a bankruptcy matter that the A&P filed and the decision affects numerous properties across New Jersey and since the bankruptcy court ordered the action, the Township has to pay the dollars.

Mayor Guadagno commented that there are two light poles that were knocked down two years ago, and complaints have been made to the A&P. However, there are still wires sticking up, and the A&P has yet to take action to replace them.

Manager Lovell stated that he would have the A&P personnel come to his office to pick up the check and talk to them about the issue.

Councilman Loveys asked for clarification on Item dd, #5, #6, and #15C. He didn’t recall the figures for Items #5 & #6 being in the budget. He also asked if the purchase in Item #15C was part of a subsequent Ordinance.

Manager Lovell responded by stating that the numbers in Item dd #5 & #6 are “not to exceed numbers,” and since everything is done by purchase order, an account cannot be over expended. There is not $700,000.00 for paving materials in the budget; however when the Manager questioned the amount, he was told that traditionally $700,000.00 is put in the budget each year. Regarding Item dd #15C, theoretically the Ordinance should be adopted before the Resolution is adopted. Manager Lovell stated that as long as the Council is satisfied, both actions would be taken to the affirmative at this meeting.

Deputy Mayor MacArthur stated that he didn’t think something that is not authorized in the budget should be approved and asked if the dollar amount in Item dd, #5 could be revised to $200,000.00 as part of the passage on the combined resolutions.

Councilwoman Veech made a motion to approve the Combined Action Items, as amended, by pulling Item p and changing the amount in Item dd, #15C to $200,000.00. Councilwoman Mitsch seconded the motion and the following roll call vote was taken:
