Committees
COMMITTEES—
Buildings & BUILDINGS & GROUNDS: Councilwoman Naples reported that the
Grounds department is getting ready to assist with the Memorial Day
Tribute throughout the Borough. Also the interior of this building
was painted by an outside source and we got a good price.
Finance & Administratior & ADMINISTRATION — Councilman Diaz reported that he

PARKS, RECREATION & PUBLIC PROPERTY — In the absence of Parks, Recreation &
Councilman Bellino, the Mayor reported Progress in his Public Property
department. ,
POLICE — Councilman Sitarz reported that they started to put the Police
lights on the new police cars and also the lettering at the same
time. That will be done at the Borough Garage. Progress.
PUBLIC WORKS- Councilman DiMascio reported that they started Public Works
to pick up garbage two times a week this month. Speed bumps
were put on Monroe Avenue last week. He said he spoke to Mr.
DuPont and he told him to move them closer to the turn. He also
told Mr. DuPont to put back the speed bump behind Nathan Hale
School. We're getting a lot of complaints there. Progress.
Councilman Sitarz asked if they are only putting one speed bump
on Monroe Avenue.
Councilman DiMascio replied that they will probably put one on
the other end too. Discussion
Mayor Reiman said we were asked to order another one. We have
a bunch of things that we ordered including an additional signage.
Councilman Diaz asked if the intention was to slow people down
at the approach to Wedgewood Drive,
Councilman DiMascio said they come around that turn on
Wedgewood and come around on the other side of the road.
Mayor Reiman said it's both ends of Monroe. He asked them to go
take a look at it. Maybe traffic maintenance can take a look and
maybe painting the curbs yellow. Even with the speed bumps
what we've seen is they go over it-and around it but those ends
are a tough (inaudible) it affects visibility. Take a look and we'll go
through it.

Board of BOARD OF EDUCATION LIAISON — Councilwoman Naples reported
Education Liaison
that she met for the final time with Mr. Pettito. in reference to
the CASA Grant. She said she was able to acquire all the
signatures she needed from our partners to get that submitted.
Hopefully the State will look favorably upon that and expand it to
Columbus School too. Saturday there is a walk, sponsored by
Pathways, for anti bulling at Carteret High School. Sign up is
between 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. The walk starts at 10:00 A. M.
Disability Awareness Day is at The Thomas J. Deverin Community
Center between 1:00 P.M. -and 4:00 P.M. and the Elks are also
having a sports day on Saturday at the park.
Mayor Reiman said it is an all day event.
Councilman Sitarz addressed the Mayor. He said that being the
School Board gets their own garbage picked up, have they notified
us that they will stop using our garbage?
Mayor Reiman said they did not pay all their bills. They did notify
us on a Friday to stop picking up garbage effective Monday. At the
moment they are probably three or four hundred thousand
dollars in the hole for various shared services. Patrick would
probably know better than he. We've covered today the expenses
Discussion of the crossing guards, for the security in the schools, for the
Continued civilian security that work the desks, for the bus drivers, for the
aides on the buses. We have sent multiple emails and we might
wind up taking some action against them. They have
acknowledged receipt and they have asked multiple times to
continue providing the service. We've looked into whether or not
it is a continuation of the contract. It is our opinion and the
Borough's position that it's a continuation of the services and the
existing contract so they are obligated to pay us. So we'll either
deduct it from what we owe them or we'll take some other
action. We eventually will get our money out of it.
