B. PRESENTATION
1. Final Report on the Trails Master Plan by Greener By Design
Mayor Carey introduced Ben Spinelli and Frank Pinto from Greener By Design.
Mr. Spinelli explained that after the presentation of the draft plan, they took into consideration the comments from the Council, and they met with township staff. The comments and recommendations were incorporated into the plan to the greatest extent possible. The biggest change was to ensure that it was clear that the construction recommendations for the trail segments were flexible. The plan is designed to provide guidance, it is not meant as a mandate; they expanded the time period from ten years to twenty due to the ambitious nature of the proposed additions in the plan.
Mayor Carey asked if there were any major changes, besides the additional ten years, that the Council needed to know about. Mr. Spinelli stated there weren’t, and added that there are companion documents with the plan that had previously been in the appendix. One of the documents is related to land acquisitions that the township may want to pursue to complete the trail system. Mr. Pinto explained that one of the other documents is an excel file to allow staff to annually go through the plan to review with the Trails Advisory Committee to determine if it’s what they want to do in that year, and the effect on the overall system and the budget if they choose to do an alternate plan. Mr. Pinto also explained that he and Mr. Spinelli realize that there are unknowns that cannot be controlled as to when easements will be acquired from private landowners, which will dictate when different trails can be developed. They developed the plan so the township can adjust for such circumstances.
Manager Mountain added that most of the driving factors for the adjustments to the timeframes were either due to where the subcommittee realistically felt there were resources early on, or due to the simplicity of the trail or the acquisition of the trail. He also stated that adjustments to the plan can always be made if needed or desired.
Councilman Loveys stated that he felt it was a very good and comprehensive document, and he understands the adjustments that were made.
Deputy Mayor Forstenhausler thanked the men for their work, as well as those that were on the subcommittee. Mayor Carey also thanked everyone involved.
Manager Mountain added that the electronic version of the updated document will be uploaded to the township website to replace the original draft. He explained that there is a resolution under Combined Action that will accept the final plan.
C. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Judith Stewart of 114 Everdale Road again asked the Manager and Council to consider changing the zoning ordinance related to the height of fences. She felt that open-slat fences should be allowed to be higher to keep deer out of residents’ properties. Mrs. Stewart stated that she would like to see the topic as a discussion item for an upcoming meeting.
Gene Trinker of 24 Lawrence Road asked if there were plans to address the lights at Heistein Park; he stated that they are in need of repair. Manager Mountain replied that he believed the repairs were made; there are also plans in the ten year recreational plan for upgrades. Russ Newman detailed the electrical work that was recently done. Mayor Carey added that the Recreation Master Plan can be viewed on the township website.
Seeing no one further from the public, the public portion was closed.
D. MANAGER’S REPORT
Manager Mountain reported the following:
- Work done on Municipal Building—the project at the entrance was coordinated by Donna Luciani, Ralph Carchia, and Darren Carney; he commended them on their effort. The majority of the work was performed by the Water & Sewer Department; they did an outstanding job. He also commended Foreman Charlie Crossan who coordinated the project, as well as the Public Works Department for the paving work.
- Retention Basin at Judy Resnick Drive—phase I of the project has been completed by the Public Works Department; it included the clearing of the overgrowth. The second phase is to stump the basin, grade out the low flow areas, and add landscaping to the back end of the basin. It was divided into two phases due to the permitting involved.
- Mac Spar Drive Special Assessment Process—he, Glen Sherman, and special assessment board members Myra Sesko and Trina Mitsch, met to review the project and to discuss the steps required to put the assessments into place. It is a two step process; first the Board of Assessor’s holds a public hearing with the affected residents to present the assessments and hear comments. Once completed, the final recommendation is given to the Council and the Council has a hearing on the resolution which memorializes the assessments. He explained that the residents have been advised throughout the process as to the anticipated impact; the estimates at the beginning of the project were within $100 of the assessment, so residents should not be surprised. Advertisement will be in December, with it going to the Council in January.
Deputy Mayor Forstenhausler asked if there was a formal plan for the periodic review and maintenance of the retention basins. Manager Mountain replied that there is a plan for the remaining basins that need work. He is working with Public Works and Engineering to establish an ongoing maintenance program for the future.
Mayor Carey asked if there was an update on the Shongum Lake dredging. Manager Mountain replied that he received a letter indicating that they received preliminary approval on the ground work; it was unclear from the letter when the final approval in the process would be. He will check with John Ragan to see if he has more information. Deputy Mayor Forstenhausler added that, as a Shongum Lake Association member, he received an email indicating that the figure was in excess of $5,000,000 and that there is a preliminary approval. They are working on the process to get the super majority of the property owners to approve it before more information is provided.
Councilman Loveys asked for clarification on the need for permits for the retention basins. Manager Mountain explained that the permits are needed for some of the work being done in the basins, not the cleaning of them; a soil conservation permit was needed.

She also asked what happens if Dover goes over the 624 hour maximum; the Manager will find that out as well, and inform the Council.

I. DISCUSSION ITEMS
1. Jim Loveys to Discuss Manager/Clerk Evaluation Process and Dates
Councilman Loveys reiterated the process that the Council has followed the last several years. He will email each Council member the Township Manager performance evaluation questionnaire. He will email each Council member and the Township Manager the performance evaluation questionnaire for the Township Clerk. Each questionnaire is comprised of several factors upon which performance will be evaluated. A defined rating system of 1-5 will be used for each factor, as well as an area for comments for each. Councilman Loveys will email them on, or before, November 10th; he requested they be returned via email, in Word format, by November 27th. He will compile the results and distribute them to Council members, the Township Manager, and the Clerk prior to the December 7th meeting. The results will be formally presented during the Executive Session of the December 7th Council meeting.
Councilwoman Veech asked if the Township Manager and Clerk would provide them with their goals. Councilman Loveys asked the Manager and Clerk to provide him with their self performance evaluations. He will hold those until he receives all the questionnaires back from the Council, at which time he will compile the results and then send both the self evaluations and the compiled results to the Council members so they are prepared for the discussion at the December 7th meeting. Councilman Loveys explained that the Manager has always forwarded his goals for the coming year directly to the Council. Councilman Loveys will forward the Manager’s goals from 2017 to the Council so they can review them while completing the questionnaires.
J. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Seeing no one further from the public, the public portion was closed.
K. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilman Tkacs asked if there was another pharmacy opening because he saw an announcement somewhere. Mayor Carey stated that she read the information in the Randolph Reporter, but the township had not been contacted about a grand opening. Manager Mountain will contact the pharmacy to determine if they have an interest in having the township representatives attend.
Councilwoman Veech asked if there was any new information on the former K-Mart site. Manager Mountain replied that he had spoken to them earlier in the week, and the only information he had was that the contractor will be starting work on the facade.
Councilwoman Veech explained that her power has gone off three times in the past several days. She saw Mike Obremski and mentioned it to him; he reminded her to call 1-888-LIGHTSS as soon as the power is out to be placed on a list for JCP&L to repair.
Councilwoman Veech stated that she was asked by the Freeholders if she would serve on the Morris County Strategic Plan Economic Development Focus Group. They are looking at strategic initiatives in terms of their long range vision for Health & Human Services, Public Safety, Quality of Life, Economic Development, and Infrastructure. The first meeting is December 11th; she asked the Manager and Council to let her know if there is anything they would like her to discuss at the meeting related to Randolph.
Councilman Loveys reported that the Chief Assistant Prosecutor Brad Seabury will attend the November 14th senior luncheon and discuss the importance of disposing of old and unused medications.
Councilman Loveys reported that the police department is hosting a movie night on December 15th at the Randolph Middle School. The MAC provided some funding to the police department for the printing of baseball trading-type cards for each of the officers. It’s an initiative for community policing, where the youth get to know the officers in a positive environment; they hope the children will want to collect the cards and get to know the officers.
Councilman Loveys also reported that the MAC will be sponsoring a forum, “Screenagers,” on February 22nd at 7 p.m. at the Randolph Middle School. “Screenagers” is a film dealing with social media related to youth being on their phones and computers constantly; it presents information for parents to help their children navigate the digital world. Councilman Loveys also noted that MAC will be hosting a program “Hidden in Plain Sight,” but a date is yet to be determined. This program will provide information to parents as to what their children might be hiding from them, and to promote awareness as to what to look for.
Councilman Loveys reported that he, Manager Mountain, Mayor Carey, and Kate Olsakowski and Liz Ritter, from the MAC attended a mental health seminar at Morristown Medical Center. He commended the County for their effort to publicize mental illness and addiction, and to remove the stigma attached to them so those affected can get the treatment needed for recovery. He reported that Kris Wilsusen also attended the seminar.
Deputy Mayor Forstenhausler attended the Ironia Company 4 fire house pancake breakfast on October 22; most of the Council members were there. It was a well attended event.
