August 2, 2012 National The Mayor spoke about National Night Out, August 7, 2012 Night Out with the National Association of Town Watches - sponsoring a Nationwide Crime Drug Violence Prevention Program. Proclamation PROCLAMATION BOROUGH OF CARTERET MIDDLESEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY PROCLAMATION NATIONAL NIGHT OUT 2012 WHEREAS, the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) is sponsoring a unique, nationwide crime drug and violence prevention program on August 7Lh, 2012 called "National Night Out "2012; WHEREAS, the "29th Annual Night Out" provides a unique opportunity for the Borough of Carteret to join forces with thousands of other communities across the country in promoting cooperative, police community crime prevention efforts; and WHEREAS, the Crime Prevention Unit plays a vital role in assisting the Carteret Police Department through joint crime, drugs and violence prevention efforts in the Borough of Carteret; and WHEREAS, it is essential that all citizens of the Borough of Carteret be aware of the importance of crime prevention programs and the impact that their participation can have a reducing crime, drugs and violence in the Borough of Carteret; and WHEREAS, police- community partnerships, neighborhood safety, awareness and co- operation are important themes of the "National Night Out" program; NOW, THREFORE, WE, The Mayor and Council do hereby call upon the citizens of the Borough of Carteret to join the Carteret Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit and the National Association of Town Watch in supporting the 10 August 2, 2012 29th Annual National Night Out" on August 7th, 2012 as "National Night Out" in the Borough of Carteret. FURTHER, LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT WE, The Mayor and Council, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 as "National Night Out" in the Borough of Carteret. Mayor Reiman asked if there was any business to be added. Business to be Added Committeeman DiMascio reported that he had nothing to discuss at this time. Committeeman Krum said he usually makes all the National Night Out but next week he'll be on a little Siesta out of the country. Councilmember Naples said to Councilman Krum that she would give his regards to the residents. Councilmember Sitarz wanted to ]snow if they were supposed to have a hearing concerning Gio's. Every time Discussion we're supposed to have it, it gets postponed and Gio keeps operating and he just got caught again with after hours. As long as we keep postponing what is the sense of going after him? Mayor Reiman replied that we can't have the administrative hearing until the criminal component is done. He still has pending criminal charges and if in fact he is found guilty on certain charges relative to crimes then he will automatically be barred from holding a liquor license. We can't have our hearing because he is not going to be able to testify in front of our hearing if the criminal charges aren't heard. So that is a catch 22 but it happens all the time. Once it is heard and resolved in the courts we can have our administrative hearing but we also don't have the burden of proof that the courts have to find. To find him guilty of a criminal offense there's a certain burden of proof if his bar just becomes a hazard and a health concern for us. 11• August 2, 2012 Re: CAD System (Computer Assisted Dispatch) Discussion Continued Councilmember Sitarz wanted to know what the progress was with the CAD System. Mayor Reiman said they looked at three (3) different systems and one (1) was eliminated and there are two (2) other systems that we are looking at., By putting the Ordinances in place this evening and by making funding available for as early as September. It sets aside dollars to buy this system whether it's this year or next year. But it will put the money in place so we just have to select the system we are comfortable with and works and won't be out of date in a year or two (2). The Mayor asked Councilman Bellino if he had any business to discuss. Councilmember Bellino replied that he had no business. Adjourned After no further discussion, upon MMS &C by Councilmembers Sitarz and DiMascio and unanimous affirmative vote of the five (5) members present, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:10 P.M.
