for pavers.

prudent for them to do the wiring while they are doing the pavers. He

from Capital.

funding for three to six months.

head.

BOROUGH ENGINEER Borough Engineer Don Norbut said they have a few preconstruction
CONTINUED meetings for some projects and the demolition of the sewer treatment
plant. He then asked if there was a plan for relocating the Recycling
Facility.
Councilmember Parisi said he spoke to the men from Streets & Roads
and they do not want to be moved. They said the contractor for the
demolition work said they do not have to be moved either. They will
be secure and far enough away to be safe.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said they did not want the public
coming into the construction site. They were allowing the (inaudible)
to use that area of the stage because after the demolition there is going
to be a sorting process and we are going to take the opportunity to
clean up the operation.
Councilmember Parisi said he thought they had to meet with those
men because (inaudible). They are saying there are possibly two
different ways to get where the demolition (inaudible). He said they
should sit down together before the demolition starts.
Councilmember Sosnowski said the Streets & Roads Department were
not at the reconstruction meeting. He said he saw the guys today and
they told them (inaudible).
Councilmember Santoro said they are worded about our employees.
We have the public coming in and out of there.
Councilmember Sosnowski said they secured the area but safety is the
first concern.
Councilmember Parisi said if the demolition company is agreeable and
they don't think it is going to be an issue, then we should sit down ad
hammer out the details. It is our decision on whether or not we'll move
on it. For some reason the safety factor has not been issued to our
satisfaction and that is a concern for us.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said if the contractor doesn't feel he
needs the area (inaudible) we could section it off.
Councilmember Parisi said maybe next week we can meet among
ourselves and the demolition company with Ted Surick and John Riley
and hammer this out ourselves.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen told Don Norbut that they reached
an agreement. He asked if Mr. Norbut would have them send a letter
indicating what that agreement is. He is not going to ask for any
additional time because we forced him to work around this and then he
will not ask for any additional time. He said he would like to do a
formal agreement but they could give them a letter in writing.
Unidentified person asked the Borough Attorney for a copy of the
letter for their files.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said the suspect area sewer separation
project is down to about one half dozen illegal connections that they

Borough Engineer Don Norbut said he spoke to Mr. Gannon from
(inandiblc) Consulting. Hc said they are doing thc bid specs for
(inaudible) demolition and they are looking for some alternate
materials and that should be done in the next few weeks. The Green
Acres application is asking for Vz million dollars for Phase II of
Waterfront Park. They will bc filing in the middle of February. At the
next meeting they are asking for a Resolution to support the
application as well as the required public hearing which will be present
to the public.

was requesting.
DISCUSSION
Borough Engineer Don Norbut replied that they are looking for the (CONTINUED>
maximum amount and that is ½ million dollars.

being used for Phase I.

through Green Acres. Because of the funding issue we broke it down
and called it (inaudible).
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said there were some issues in
regards to some additional properties he may want down there and it
may be a good idea if the Council (inaudible).
Councilmember Reiman asked if they started negotiations.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said no, that is why they need to
have a meeting to decide what they want before they even do Phase I
(inaudible) to go onto the property and take a look at it.
Councilmember Reiman asked if it was the parking lot area.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said yes and some of the areas
-- adjacent to it. He said it might be wise to either set up a committee or
refer to a (inaudible) committee.
Councilmember Reiman said they spoke about doing that to the
Finance Committee.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said he thought the most important
issue is the temporary construction access, which (inaudible) ground
work for.
JANUARY 31, 2002
Councilmember Reiman asked if the Borough Engineer took the 55
foot wide easement from John Spoganetz and do we have a copy of
that?
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said yes, he has a map showing the
easement and some other documents. He said he will bring them to his
office.
Councilmember Reiman said to keep in mind that they have the Open
Space Fund and that can be used (inaudible) and the purchase of
property. If they have the intention of doing something permanent
we'll try to get it done all at one time. We'll likely have to go through
Court to get it done and he doesn't want to go there twice.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said he has a proposal that is work
related to the Carteret Landfill Redevelopment. (Inaudible) is the
developer and he was asked to come in and provide mapping
(inaudible). He said he sent this information over to the Municipal

· CONTINOED) overlay mapping.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he would like a copy because
they were going to discuss this in closed session.
Councilmember Reiman asked the Borough Attorney if he reviewed
the Escrow Account.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said last year they did an emergency
sewer repair on Layfette Street. He said they found that several homes
had their laterals blocked and sewage was backing out of the
(inaudible). They need to install a manhole on top of an existing line
and the best way to do that is included in the suspect area sewer
separation. They have a contractor that does good work and there is
some contingency money in the contract we can have. That will give
us the ability to clean and TV the line that goes down to Roosevelt
Avenue.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said with the Finance Department's
help maybe we can get an idea of how much this emergency work
D&D Construction did last year.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said Patrick DeBlasio was concerned
that it was emergency work. We already have the framework for the
contract, it is just a mater of polishing it up and putting it out on the
street.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he did not keep tract of the
(inaudible) but there are quite a few Resolutions for them so he
(inaudible).
Mayor Failace asked how they would anticipate emergency work.
Unidentified person replied you have so much each year.
Mayor Failace said he understood what they were saying.

JANUARY 31, 2002
Borough Engineer Don Norbut said it is something that you come to

Borough Engineer Don Norbut said there are 25 sinkholes per year
and...
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he was surprised about the same DISCUSS ION
thing because it was done last year and he has never seen (inaudible)
out for emergency work before. He asked how they did that and they
responded that they have quite a bit of emergency work around here.
Borough Engineer Donald Norbut said the last item he handed to them
was a proposal to improve the Hill District. He said the next step is
with the three million dollar project. For those of you who are not
familiar with this, the Hill District Area has flooding problems several
times a year when heavy rain falls. Beverly Street becomes almost
under water. We believe the sanitary sewer system is seeing some
significant influence from this flooding and it is causing the Borough
-- some problems. The DEP sited the Borough for (inaudible). The next
step is called a (inaudible) document. Because we are using DEP
Funds for this project, this is a requirement under the National Policy
Environmental Act. The project consists of a new storm water pump
station and a force main right along Beverly Street. It also has a new
culvert crossing under Industrial Road. Preliminary estimates are 3
million dollars. This analysis does a number of things. It does a survey
of the architectural and historical (inaudible) and it does some soil
borings and testing of the soil. He said on page two he outlined the
requirements and they are quite lengthy. Some hydraulic calculations
related to (inaudible). Looking at the intensity of various rain falls we
see the level of protection that we need to provide for that area. He
then said this is only the next step, the final design will follow in the
summer once we have approval from the EPA.
Councilmember Santoro asked how long it would take to do your end
once this approval goes through and you are ready.
Borough Engineer Don Norbut replied they need ninety days and at
least thirty to sixty days to hear back from the EPA.

issues. He said it looked like they were going to meet with the County
and a representative of the County for next Thursday.
Councilmember Santoro asked where the Borough Engineer would
meet.
DISCUSSION

coming and he would get some quotes and in a few weeks they will
have (inaudible).
Borough Engineer Robert Bergen asked the Borough Engineer if he
knew anything about the proposal for Washington Avenue because
they were putting it on for the meeting and he would like a copy.
Councilmember Santoro then spoke about the estimates for the wiring.
Councilmember Reiman said the natural lights will be expensive and
the wiring will cost the Borough a couple of thousand dollars. UEZ
can pick up the cost of the lights and while you have it ripped up, it
might as well get done.
Unidentified person asked if they anticipated the possibility that the
lights (inaudible) this year.

GLENN SANDOR Kinder Morgan. GLENN SANDOR
KINDER MORGAN
Last March Kinder Morgan took over GATX. He said his reason for
coming to meet them was to discuss the petroleum pipeline from their
facility over to Linden, NJ. It is a basic underground pipeline and they
would have their product pumping (inaudible). He said they need some
-- right of ways ad easements from the Borough of Carteret to cross the
Rahway River and go under the Turnpike and come back up on the
Linden side. He said his discussion here today is to inform the
Borough of the project. As noted, Kinder Morgan is a large facility
along the Rahway River. We went to the Planning Board a few months
ago and spoke about building four tanks. They will be built on a
portion of their facility. They are interested in building three additional
tanks in another part of the terminal. In the back are some storage
tanks and what they need is to use this pipeline to have the product
come from their facility to Linden and from there all the petroleum
products are distributed up in the North East. What they want to do is
build some additional tanks, a pipeline and operate their facility. They
believe that the underground pipeline is the safest mode of DISCUSSION
transportation. There are no additional trucks to go through the
Borough of Carteret.
Councilmember Parisi asked if that was common for that area.
Councilmember Santoro asked if there was a pipeline there already.
Glenn Sandor replied that they already have an existing eight inch
-- pipeline in the same area. This would be a sixteen inch pipeline that
they plan on constructing. He then asked if they were going to follow a
different route in this area but for the most part it runs along the
railroad tracks.
Councilmember Santoro asked if the new pipeline would run along
side the old one.
Glenn Sandor replied yes.
Councilmember Santoro asked if he would be installing (inaudible).
Glenn Sandor replied that she was correct.
Councilmember Santoro asked the proximity of the Industrial Road.
Glenn Sandor replied they were staying away from the railroad, all the
tanks will be in back of their facility. Some are already behind existing
tanks. We have approval for four tanks and we are accountable for the
additional three tanks. He said that was what they were looking for as
far as their expansion projects.
Councilmember Santoro asked if they had any other plans (inaudible).
Glenn Sandor said they have no mom plans. Typically, Kinder
Morgan is the smaller portion of the terminal and right now we don't
have any plans.
Councilmember Reiman stated that they are not operating any other
chemicals anyway.
JANUARY 31, 2002
Glenn Sandor said gasoline is the only product that they are
(inaudible). We have to supply other customers like Amoco, Gulf,
Exxon and Mobil. This is a safe way to get the product over to those
facilities. You can't use trucks to get large volume (inaudible).
Councilmember Reiman asked what improvements have been made
since the four tanks were approved? There were some minor
improvements for carbonated beverages... Kinder Morgan has
approximately thirty million dollars worth of projects.
Glen Sandor said Kinder Morgan has purchased GATX and we have
seen a big difference in the way we are operating. Kinder Morgan has
been very good to us and we are looking at an expansion in Carteret of
three million dollars.
Councilmember Reiman asked if that was the total.
RE: KINDER Glenn Sandor replied yes. All the projects they heard about
~'iORGAN (inaudible). Kinder Morgan is good company; they are allowing us to
grow. They are also making jobs in their facilities.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said (inaudible) is going to require
some easement through the Borough. He advised them that in addition
to whatever sight plans they require; they may have to meet the
Council as to some plans for the redevelopment of that area. They
would also require some easements to be granted on behalf of Borough
property. His recommendation to the Borough would be that they have
to post some escrow for the Council so that the Engineer and he could
take a look at that project and be able to give the Borough some
information with regard to the technical aspect of it. His
understanding is that there would be no problem.
Unidentifiable person said that would be fine.
Councilmember Santoro said tonight is the presentation asking for the
Borough Engineer and Borough Attorney to work with them and come
back with a recommendation.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said that would be his
recommendation to the Council.
Unidentifiable person asked Karen McMillin if he missed anything.
Karen McMillin said to pass the information over to the Mayor and
Council.
Councilmember Santoro said you would need permits and they are in
the process (inaudible) will take a lot longer than that because of the
environmental issues. She asked if they would need a resolution.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they should because it is closer
to the railroad tracks. He said Councilwoman Santoro should accept
the $5,000.00 check for escrow.
Councilmember Rios asked about the pipeline that is already there.
OANUARY 31, 2002
AT THIS TIME THE TAPE MALFUNCTIONED - TRANSCRIBER' S
NOTE
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he agreed about posting the five
thousand dollars to get it started. It is going to cost more than that
(inaudible) on behalf of the Council and give us some advice
(inaudible) their terms of what the cost of the ultimate use of that
-- property may be (inaudible) tax assessor. We need to get that
information from the Borough Engineer.
Karen McMillin said they estimated with the temporary work
(inaudible). What they are offering for the permanent (inaudible) is
$10,000.00 for the temporary workspace. She told the Mayor and
Council that it was all broken down in the packages she gave them.
Councilmember Rios asked Glenn Sandor what kind of numbers he
had.
Glenn Sandor said they already started working on it.
Councilmember Parisi asked if he had any idea how many more
(inaudible) they would need when it was all completed.
Glenn Sandor said most of the volume they have already and the
pipeline (inaudible) because it is not a labor intensive thing.
Councilmember Rios asked they suggested that your fire protection
that you have right now (inaudible).
Glenn Sandor said they have a fire brigade and they are now looking at
RE: KINDER
purchasing a fire truck. MORGAN
Councilmember Santoro said when they moved before the board there
were certain conditions they had to meet.
Glenn Sandor said they have already started the security upgrade of
the facility. The only area left is by the waterfront. The employees are
out there al the time. He said they do have a lot of (inaudible). What
they are trying to do is slightly increase...
Councilmember Santoro asked if they had to do anything in the form
of a Resolution to accept the money to be used for (inaudible).
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said his recommendation is a
resolution authorizing them to turn towards an Escrow Agreement
with Kinder Morgan.
Karen McMillin said she had already given them a sample draft of
(inaudible).
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they should just authorize the
Council so Patrick DeBlasio can deposit the money and establish an
escrow account.
Councilmember Santoro said they would come back with the
recommendations.
JANUARY 31, 2002
Councilmember Reiman asked how that worked. He stated that they
don't actually sell them the property.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said it gives them the fight to use
that particular (inaudible). He then asked what the dollar value was on
the leased property. They were only now finding out the extent of the
use. Even though there is a 30 foot easement there are a number of
issues.
Karen McMillin said they are not building any permanent structures on
top of it.
)ISC~SS ION
30NTINUED Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said there is a number factor that
you have to consider when you figure the value of the easement. You
can have an easement that is very small but if it runs fight down the
middle of the property, you can't build in the middle of the property.
Councilmember Santoro said after the recommendations that come
from our Attorney (inaudible) before the board.
At this time they are talking all at once and it is inaudible.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said after we grant them access to
our property, (inaudible).
Mayor Failace said this is not a public hearing. He said he did not feel
comfortable with this.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said this is only a preliminary
(inaudible) on whether or not the Borough wants to grant them an
easement. Ultimately if the project goes forward he was sure if would
go before the Planning Board.
Mrs. Gaydos wanted to ask a question and the Mayor told her ask it.
Mrs. Gaydos wanted to know where they will cross the fiver. She the
asked if they were going to pass the school.
Councilmember Rios asked if the whole section is three hundred years.
At this time everyone is talking at once and it is inaudible.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen asked if someone would like to
make a motion authorizing the Borough to accept the five thousand
dollars in escrow so it can be deposited in the account so that the
Borough Engineer can draw on the account.
Upon MMS&C, by Councilmembers Sohayda and Santoro and
unanimous affirmative vote of the full membership present, a motion
was made to accept five thousand dollars in the escrow account.

request. She said she spoke to Tony Neibert and to refresh what was
going on with that. Presently, there is an Ordinance.
Councilmember Sosnowski said it was one that Tony Neibert said
would open up a really big can of worms. He is talking about putting
trailers on properties and he is recommending against it.
Councilmember Reiman said he though they should speak with the
VFW.
Mayor Failace said they are going to store wheel chairs, crutches and
so on. DISCUSSION
CONTINUED
Councilmembcr Rciman wanted to know if they should put it there or
they arc responsible for it. It is going to bca permanent trailer and are
they going to have a concrete foundation?
Councilmember Santoro said there was a meeting at the Recreation
Building with the Little League and Softball. They also want to put a
trailer at the Recreation Building. This is how this whole issue came
about. There was a meeting and that is how Tony Neibert got involved,
now there are two requests in for trailers. If you are going to grant it
for one you are not going to be able to grant it for the other. Again, it
is depending on which direction you want to take and the code
concerning trailers. They have the request in for the Recreation
Building. When they built that building they did not plan for all the
equipment and they need more storage space.
Mayor Failace asked where they have stored things in the past.
Councilmember Sosnowski said baseball rents a storage facility.
Councilmember Reiman said he did not think both issues are one and
the same. In one you have a large municipal parking lot where they
showed them where they want to put it and that could potentially
work. The other one has an existing building and there us a different
(inaudible) to look at. He said they should give them permission.
Councilmember Santoro asked if they should have Tony Neibert speak
to them about it because this came from him and he could explain it in
more detail.
Councilmember Sosnowski said (inaudible) is against the Zoning
Ordinance.
15
JANUARY 31, 2002
Councilmember Reiman asked if it was going to be a mobile trailer
with a foundation.
Councilmember Santoro said the same thing is putting baseball
equipment (inaudible). This is coming from him so we should bring
him in and let him answer all the questions.
Mayor Failace said they can look at other alternatives but he did not
think the two (inaudible).
Councilmember Rios asked if they could use the old library for
storage. It could probably be used for the Little League and the
Veterans.
Mayor Failace said he thought they were selling the old library.
Councilmember Rios said they didn't sell it yet but they should take it
into consideration.
HATTERS FOR 9) T&M Associates - Requesting Professional Services Resolution -
DISCUSSION - $1650.00 RE: Washington Avenue Streetscape, Concrete Paver
CONTINUED Installation.
10) General Assistance - Consolidation.
Councilmember Reiman said they spoke about this in December, the
Consolidation of Social Services with Middlesex County with hardly
any cost to the Borough. We could still have a full time Director and
potentially combine that position with the Director of Office on Aging.
We also have one or two individuals retiring. We have one full timer
and one green thumber. One can go to John Riggio's Office and the
green thumber can go to the Recycling Department. He said he thought
this should work out fine. It could save the Borough approximately
$30,000.00 and by next year it will be $100,000.00 in savings. We
need a resolution to authorize ....
Mayor Failace said (inaudible) practically at no cost.
Councilmember Reiman said he didn't know if there would be any
minimal administrative fees. They are certainly going to be
considerably less then we are paying.
Councilmember Santoro said maybe when they go into Closed Session
they can talk about the different moves...
Councilmember Reiman said (inaudible) before Hadiyah Muhammad
can go any further or Patrick or the County. They would need a
resolution, a sample that they sent over. There is a time frame and we
would like to get it in, so we can realize the savings in this budget
year.
Mayor Failace asked if there was anything else for open.
Councilmember Santoro said there is going to be a benefit basketball
game and she thinks it will be February 22nd. She said she had to check
the date with the Fire Department. It is for the Scholarship Fund for
the World Trade Center. They are going to be selling tickets for $20.00
16
JANOAR¥ 3i, 2002
each. She then asked Councilman Sosnowski if he knew when the
benefit basketball game was ... DISCUSSION
CONTINUED
Councilmember Sosnowski said she was correct it is going to be held
on February 22nd.
-- Councilmember Santoro said they will be bringing it to the next
Council Meeting and telling everyone about it. Also, there was a new
UEZ Meeting Tuesday night with new people. They seemed excited
about it and they wanted to know everything about what they could do.
That would be extended to all businesses through out the town and not
just one area.
Mayor Failace asked how she could do that.
Councilmember Santoro said it is not designating just one area.
Mayor Failace then asked if it was just for the UEZ.
Councilmember Santoro replied yes.
Councilmember Reiman asked if they were going to have a different
fagade. He then asked that Roosevelt Avenue isn't going to look like
Washington Avenue.
Councilmember Santoro said basically there is going to be an approval
process and a different application when they fill it out because it isn't
-- matching, it's 50-50. He is going to bring it back to us and those
(inaudible) to discuss.
Mayor Failace said he was worried about the whole thing.
Councilmember Santoro said it has to be within the UEZ. We spoke
about the streetscapes and the lighting on Washington Avenue and
trying to get a uniform streetscape. She then said she had something
for Closed Session.
Councilmember Sosnowski said he wanted to get together with the
Building and Grounds Committee and set up a meeting. He said he
would like to have a discussion with the committee about...
Councilmember Rios said when the summer comes we have different RE: AMUSEMENT
organizations that have carnivals and amusements. He said they should RIDES
look a little closer at the owner of these rides to make sure they are
certified to operate the equipment. Just because the operator has a
certificate that says they run a safe piece of apparatus the operator
should also know the operation of the machine. They should also be
inspected before they operate at the different carnivals and Ethnic Day
__ or for any event that is held in the Borough.
Municipal Clerk Kathleen Barney said they just received another letter
concerning that last week. She said she turned it over to the Borough
Attorney.
Councilmember Rios said some of the rides are horrendous and you
hear of accidents quite often. Let's not wait until that happens. We
should make sure we have someone in the Borough, maybe the
17
JANUARY 31, 2002
Building Inspector. When they are ready to start having a three day
carnival or Ethnic Day he should go out there and inspect the
equipment and make sure it is safe.
Mayor Failace asked if they are capable of doing that.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said the Municipal Clerk sent the
letter over to him. He said the equipment is regulated by the State and
there are certain regulations they have to comply with. The State is just
(inaudible) to make sure when they come in, if we have a licensing
procedure, and that they understand what the requirements are. They
require that anybody that they have a contract that meets the State
requirements. He said he didn't know if the Borough does anything
other then Ethnic Day and he wanted to know if we hire any vendors
to do the rides.
DISCUSS ION Mayor Failace replied that they do.
CONTINUED
Councilmember Rios said they only hire for Ethnic Day.
Municipal Clerk Kathleen Barney said the Churches have carnivals
too.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said the Borough does not license
them so we should probably send some letters to them advising them
to do that. He said it is regulated by the state and he has a problem
with that. He then said he did not think that Tony Neibert was
qualified to do the inspections. He said they should work with the
Municipal Clerk to put a policy together to implement what the State
wants.
Councilmember Rios said they have to enforce some kind of safety
measures because there are young children going on these rides.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they have to see if they are
complying with the State rates unless you have some standard by
which to set them. He said he could speak to Tony Neibert, but if he is
not qualified, he doesn't know what standards we could set for him to
inspect the equipment.
Councilmember Rios asked how they could enforce it, if we don't
have to do anything whether it be an Ordinance or Resolution.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said one way to do it is to establish a
license for those people and require them to pay a fee. This way when
a private organization runs an affair then we can require an Ordinance
that all the people they hire produce the proper State certification.
Councilmember Rios said they should make the organization that is
running the affair pay for a license for the rides and such. We don't
want to (inaudible) the local organizations because they are the ones
that are having the fundraisers to help pay for the (inaudible).
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said you want them to come and get
a vending license. He said he would call the State to see if they have
any ideas.
18
JANUARY 31, 2002
Councilmember Rios said they had a request from a lady in town. She
WORLD TRADE
asked what can the Borough do. We have organized a Carteret World CENTER DANCE
Trade Center Scholarship Fund and we have been meeting on a regular
basis. He said on April 27th we are having a dance and he would get
back with that ad give them all the specifics. It will be a scholarship
for Carteret Residents; children that go to school in the Borough of
Carteret. Councilwoman Santoro mentioned that one of the police
officers and some firemen are organizing a basketball game.
Councilman Rios said they approached him and they want to be part of
our group. The donations that are raised through the basketball game
will go through the same fund. Hopefully they will sustain this every
year and allow it to go to some kind of scholarship (inaudible).
DISCUSSION
Mayor Failace asked if they set up a bank.
Councilmember Rios said they are in the process of getting a Post
Office Box and a Bank. Vincent Manetta is our treasurer and we are
looking for members to come and help, especially with the dance so
we can cut costs.
Municipal Clerk Kathleen Barney asked where they were having the
dance.
Councilmember Rios said they were having the dance at St. Demetrius
Hall. It's the biggest hall in Carteret and the price is right. He said he
wanted everyone to know this because if you hear about this on the
street (inaudible) the Council Meeting next Thursday and give you
more information.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen asked if they established themselves
as a non profit corporation.
Councilmember Rios said they are established with the State and are
filling out forms for tax exemption.. We are filing for the proper forms
so it is non profit (inaudible).
Councilmember Reiman said he only wanted to add a few things. The
CBGC Meeting (inaudible). We had a Community Development
Meeting ... On Tuesday they spoke about the disbursement with the
block grants. It looks like we are going to get another $88,000.00 this
year from the county. It is actually from the Federal Government but
administered by the County. The Community Development Board has
a budget of $3,500.00 for the Volunteer Fire Department, $32,500.00
for Housing Rehabilitation Programs, be it for hot water heaters or
furnaces and $2,500.00 for the Kiddie Keepwell Program.
Councilmember Rios said they should keep in mind that we had a
person at a Council Meeting (inaudible) so we can have handicapped
accessible (inaudible).
Councilmember Reiman then spoke about the three commuter lots. RE: FEE FOR
Currently we only charge for parking at one. He thought they should PARKING LOTS
take a look at that. To park at the lots on Roosevelt and Terminal
Avenues is currently free of charge. He said he doesn't know why
because it is for the residents from out of town. They also use the one
at the comer of Industrial and Roosevelt Avenues. It is $140.00 for a
six month pass.
19
JANUARY 31, 2002
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they might be able to find out
faster if they check the orders.
Councilmember Sohayda stated that everyone got their year end
review from the Fire Department. There was a gasoline spill at Kinder
Morgan and we are being reimbursed for the expenses of that incident.
DISCUSSION
Councilmember Reiman asked Councilman Sohayda if he knew what
the expenses were.
Councilmember Sohayda replied that approximately $2,784.64. Brian
O'Connor has been expedient in this matter. There was an incident at a
fire last week involving the Volunteer Fire Department and the Police
RE: RURAL Department. He asked if they all received a copy of the report. He said
METRO he now has a complaint between the person being transported, her
"COMPLAINT"
daughter and somebody named Maria from Rural Metro. The Lady
wanted to go to JFK or Rahway but one of the hospitals was on
bypass. The person from Rural Metro got a little mouthy with the
daughter of the person being transported. He said he is making a
complaint about the Borough's relationship with Rural Metro.
Summarizing the conclusion we are a town under contract with Rural
Metro to investigate how the people would be treated and that would
be with compassion and respect. He said they should investigate this
Mafia and fire her. He said he hoped this matter would be taken care
of. Councilman Sohayda said he is turning this over to the Municipal
Clerk so she can carbon copy it, read it and make a decision.
Mayor Failace said at the very least we need to ....
Councilmember Santoro said they need to send a copy to Rural Metro.
Councilmember Sohayda said the letter is very hard to read. It is
handwritten and ...
Mayor Failace said they need to speak to a (inaudible).
Coun¢ilmember Sohayda replied however they all thought it should be
handled.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen spoke, he was inaudible.
Councilmember Sohayda said the letter is three pages long and not
well written.
Mayor Failace said in the past they never had a complaint or a
problem.
Councilmember Rios said they never had a complaint with Rural
Metro as professionals.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they should address it and
(inaudible) responsive to Carteret.
Councilmember Rios said as far as professionalism and courtesy...
Councilmember Pafisi said he had one thing and it is for Public
Works. He said he spoke to Ted Surick about the notifications from
20
JANUARY 31, 2002
companies coming into the Borough, be construction or PSE&G. They
are digging up the road and they are not paving properly.
Councilmember Reiman said they proposed an Ordinance last year
(inaudible).
-- Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he asked Don Norbut, Borough RE: PERI~IITS FOR
Engineer, to take a look at (inaudible). It is very detailed as to how ROAD OPENINGS
they have to restore the road. He had people go over the specs and
make some changes. He said he is going to have Tony Neibert take a
look and they will meet with the Water Company. They want to meet
with us because it is going to be very restrictive and they are happy
with that.
Councilmember Parisi said if they are going to come in and rip up our
roads and not put them back the way they found them...
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they have an Ordinance now
that requires a permit. You have people coming in and opening up the
road and not taking out the permits that they are required to do now.
An Ordinance is not going to help that. The Police Department needs
to report it and they should be stopped right away. He said he spent the
morning on the phone with the Municipal Clerk and someone came in
for a permit. He said he called the engineer and the Water Company
and we told them this was how we want the road restored. If you want
a permit you'll do it the way we ask you to.
-- Councilmember Santoro asked who would have the authority to stop
someone until they got a permit.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen replied Ted Surick, Tony Neibert
and the Police Department or just about anybody can go down there
and stop it.
Councilmember Santoro asked if any one of them would do that. She
then asked if they could send a letter to each department to notify them
as to what we are doing.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they have an Ordinance right
now and we are going to make it more restrictive. If they are ignoring
the one you have now you need to have it stopped.
Councilmember Santoro said that is why if we start reporting it among
ourselves and they know who the proper person is we need to shut
them down until they get a permit.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said the new Ordinance is going to
prevent them from doing that but you are going to have to start to give
-- them more notice before you can do it. The problem is that you have to
give them advanced notice and they are going to have to say they are
going to pave this road next year. If you have any sewer (inaudible)
do it now, this way they can't say they never received notice that we
can pull out a letter saying they received it four months ago advising
them that they were doing this. You can't pave the road and then come
back afterward.
21
JANUARY 31, 2002
Councilmember Santoro asked if they could designate somebody as
the proper authority.
Mayor Failace asked if she meant to stop them.
Councilmember Santoro asked if that would be easier.
Mayor Failace said he wasn't sure they wanted to do that. We have the
full Police Department and the Fire Department. We have anybody
that is out there.
Councilmember Reiman asked who is going to be the new contact
person with the new Ordinance.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said it is going to be a combination.
The initial permit procedure, we're going to take it from the Clerks
Office and have it initiated out of Tony Neibert's office and have him
do the inspections on the road. There are going to be some areas where
you want a combination of the Engineer and the Road Supervisor to
also be involved in looking what takes place. It is going to be a
combination of the three but the head person should be Tony Neibert.
RE: NJ Councilmember Reiman said he knew the Tumpike Authority and all
ONE-CALL the chemical companies have the program, "NJ One-Call" before they
can dig or do anything. Tony Neibert can be the coordinator...
Mayor Failace said he did not think they wanted someone from the
County Department driving to work, get out of the car and tell them to
stop digging. We should notify the Police Department because that
would have more of an effect...
Councilmember Santoro said if they send a letter out then they need to
contact the Police Department and inform them that they need a permit
and they have to stop the work until they do.
CONNENTS
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said if they are not doing it then it
might be a good idea to start stopping and check. People have a habit
of not getting a permit.
Mayor Failace said if they see them opening the road you assume...
Councilmember Reiman said he stopped Ted Surick and the Water
Company when they were on Washington Avenue and they did indeed
have a permit.
Councilmember Parisi said there is a minimal fee but ....
Councilmember Reiman said he thought there was part of the
Ordinance that they have to post a bond so that (inaudible).
Councilmember Parisi said the Board of Education names the liaison
to the Office of the Disabled and they have to appoint a person.
Councilmember Reiman said he saw the letter but he didn't think they
had to actually do the appointing. He then asked who their appointee
was.
22
JANUARY 31, 2002
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen asked if the Board of Education has RE: BOARD OF
a member on the (inaudible). EDUCATION
Mayor Failace said this is something that the Board of Education has
requested. We did this a few years ago when he was there and they
discussed doing that but he wasn't sure if they did it by Ordinance or
-- not.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said Tony Neibert called him in PROPERTY HAINTENANCE
regard to some property issues. He said it came to light when he asked OFFICER
him if he enforced the bulk of the property maintenance code.
Presently the Borough doesn't have anyone appointed as the property
maintenance officer in Town so that needs to be addressed. He is
going to take a look at the bulk code and may make some
recommendations.
Councilmember Reiman said they just hired Tony Neibert as the full
time inspector and that was to free up the other inspector who is going
to do all the property maintenance.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said they have to appoint somebody
and that is perfectly fine. You may want to refer to a committee and
take a look at what they want. It is what they call bulk property
maintenance or a combination of both. If he is going to do any
Ordinance changes he recommends to the Council that somebody else
gets involved in that process so you have an Ordinance (inaudible).
Councilmember Sohayda asked if this was about cleaning up the
properties.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said somebody has to be designated RE: PROFESSIONAL
because it is his understanding that he just goes to Court on those SERVICES CONTRAC'
issues but he really has no authority to present a property maintenance 1 ) Handwriting Exper
code violation. He then said he has to do a few professional services 2) John Wanskus
contracts. One is for the hand writing expert and the other is for John
Wanskus. The deal is for about $10,000.00.
Councilmember Reiman asked if there was any chance they could get
the money back from the insurance company.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen replied no, because it is a contractual
claim and you can't get insurance for contractual violations because
what you'll do all the time is violate the contract and then make the
insurance company pay.
Councilmember Reiman asked if they were going to file a
counterclaim after they win.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said it is too late to do that. There is RE-INVEST CO.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICE.
also going to be a professional service resolution with a company
called Re-Invest. His fees will be reimbursed out of the bond. The
reason why we need somebody ...again he would like to discuss more
in Closed Session what actual work is going to be involved. He said he
would let them know ahead of time that there is going to be a
resolution on for that. He said he expects to have one for the
appointment of a hearing officer for the Election Day incident. He also
23
JANUARY 31, 2002
RIJRAL wants to put on a resolution approving Rural Metro to provide services
NETRO seven days a week. We have been negotiating with them and trying to
solve a few more insurance issues, six months with the option to renew
in another six months. He then said he wasn't sure if the Mayor and
Council saw this letter he received from John Spognetz with regard to
a deed that was issued back in 1959 for Lot 5, Block 116. It required
the person who bought the property to make some improvements on
curbs, sidewalks and gutters. They asked for a t~uick Claim Bed
waiving those restrictions because he assumes they are done. He said
he wants to put on another Resolution authorizing the Mayor to
execute that deed. He then asked if anyone had any questions or if they
wanted to take a look at 55-57 Beverly Street. He said he assumed that
everything was done. It is kind of late to go back and say it has not.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he is assuming that they already
put the curbs in and basically they have to accommodate the property
that was sold.
Councilmember Santoro said that they really want to insure that it is
all there. She then asked if they should ask Tony to ride by.
Mayor Failace said they must have done the sidewalk and the curb
work.
RE: RESOLIJTION & Borough Attorney Robert Bergen said he was going to dral2 a
DEED FOR resolution and draft a deed for curbs gutters and sidewalks, two feet
CURBS, GUTTERS
& SIDEWALKS wide. He wanted to speak about the Library Project. He said he spoke
about this before, about a negotiation with a company called CCM that
are specialist in recovering money on bond. They may be good experts
to use in the Library Project. They were successful in a motion to have
the case transferred from Morris County down to Middlesex County.
He said he thought he might be able to get it moved quicker and have a
much better result with a Middlesex County Judge than a Morris
County Judge. He said he now put the order in for this week
SENIOR LIAISON Councilmember Santoro said they spoke at the last meeting and the
Seniors asked about liaisons and who to contact. She said she thinks
they were in agreement that in Buildings and G'~unds, which is
Councilman Sosnowski, she and Councilman Reiman are going to be
the contact. We are going to be setting up a meeting with each group.
Borough Attorney Robert Bergen asked the Municipal Clerk about a
man that wanted them to do something with the Bus Company. He
asked he if she could get the name and number of the man.
Municipal Clerk Kathleen Barney said she gave the information to the
Mayor but she would get it to the Borough Attorney.
