Designating Carteret Business Partnership Inc. as a Redeveloper of a portion of the Cooke Avenue Mixed Use Redevelopment Agreement, Mr. Urban asked about Resolution #2, Approving Accrued Time Discussion Compensation. Is it dollar for dollar? Mayor Reiman said right now it's dollar for dollar based upon the Union Contract. For example, if funding is available and permitted Union Members, each contract is different, they are allowed to sell back up to eight (8) sick days or ten (10) vacation days. The current or prior contracts had about 100% at today's rate as opposed to future rates. Right now it is at 100% rate for a limited amount of time. Mr. Urban spoke but was inaudible. Mayor Reiman said they can sell back any unused vacation time and or sick time as long as they have time banked in the book. Most public employees, if they were hired years ago, they got fifteen (15) days. New employees that we hired get ten. They would have to have X amount. They could not sell back all ten (10) days because they would have to have at least ten (10), twenty (20) or thirty (30) sick days in case they got sick and then they would be able to sell back the other time. Novarl--r 3, 2016 `1r. Urban once again asked aboui Amazon on ti ',e industrial Road. He woke but was Inaudible.

Mr. Urban spoke about when it will snow Mayor Reiman said the State was very much involved in bringing them into town and now what will you do for their public improvements. We are trying to get funding from them to construct a walkway. I can tell you from November to December there will be an influx of deliveries, they will have Police Officers from 5:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. or 4:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. and in the evening at the intersection which we are building the Amazon for. At that drift way, The Industrial Highway intersection you'll have additional Policemen morning and night. We are aware of the sidewalk issue, we have plans to install sidewalks if it's right- of- way. If it's not a public right -of -way then it is private property so we'll have to work with the State and the County on that. The Mayor asked if there were any questions or comments.
