She then went on to say that the Community Center still does not have a Certificate of Occupancy and she understood from the Agenda Meeting that a letter has been sent to the contractor and the Bond Company and then she questioned how much time would lapse in between before they could do something. Attorney Coughlin said what we have done is we have made demand on the Bond Carrier Project. He said he didn't give them any dead line in which to do that and that what we are doing is basically calling down a Bond Sale with day to day sales. They are unwilling or unable to complete this project whereas he has issued a Bond for their performance on Monday and he commented that he hadn't heard from the Bond Carrier. Typically the Bond Company will talk to the contractor and the Borough. Committee Chairperson Santoro asked if typically it would be because we don't have a Certificate of Occupancy on that property that (inaudible). Attorney Coughlin said that certainly raises the bar and to a certain height and area because inaudible. Councilmember Crilley asked in order to force the Bond Company to take action is their probably going to be litigation. Attorney Coughlin said sometimes. Committee Chairperson Santoro said another area they have talked about is the meeting with Union County Freeholders on the waste train that is going to be moving through Carteret that is coming within thirty (30) days and that is going to be one of our chances to speak up against this and as soon as this comes available to us she hopes we can reach out to as many residents as possible, maybe with a article in the paper, to make people aware.

They also have a problem on Varga Street, there is a fence leaning toward Borough property and we need to fix it. He said he informed Mr. Kately and also after speaking to a Code Official they told him these fences belong concurrent to the property owners on the other side of the street. He questioned if anyone knows anything about that. 16 Mayor Failace said we have always maintained that fence, but he will check into that. BOARD OF EDUCATION: Committee Chairperson Santoro said the Board of Education had a Zoning Meeting on the 13th. Their sewer work to correct the problems at the High School will be worked on and completed. Also they were building a storage area to replace the trailer where the Band Parents worked at the stadium. She said she spoke to the Mayor last week and they look forward to setting up a meeting with the new committee and him and some Councilmembers over the summer, about the different projects that will be coming up. Progress. Mayor Failace again thanked the Fire and Police Departments and the First Aid for all they have done and he thanked them for the kind words on Head Start. He said he will be meeting an old friend of his from Linden who will be heading up a committee for a group in Union County to fight this trash train that will be going through Carteret. He will report back to the Council on anything that we can do to stop this terminal from coming into Linden. He suggested that we as a Council should move forward with a petition against this. Upon MMS&C by Councilmembers Crilley and Sohayda and unanimous affirmative vote of the full Council present the meeting was declared open for public discussion. John Schon questioned why the names were taken off he crosses at the park for Memorial Day. Mayor Failace said there was an effort to get the crosses spruced up and the names will be put back on and they weren't all done in time and he didn't want only some of the names back on. James Mancuso said the property line at Varga Street is the city's property not the homeowners. The fence there needs to be fixed. Bobby Kately said he already fixed it. A male citizen of Carteret said some time ago he told the Council of his concern about parking at the eastern end of Carteret Avenue and he wants to know what, if any, the Council's thoughts are. Mayor Failace said they will be discussing this with the Board of Education. The man commented that the High School is the only school with off the street parking and questioned when Nathan Hale School is open where will the parking be. 17 JUNE 15, 2000 Coomittees Cont: PUBLIC DISC1JSSIOO Meoorial Day Crosse Varga Street School Parking JUNE 15, 2000 Public Portion Closed Motion Made To Go Into Closed Session RESOwrrOO #00-203 Resolution to go into Closed Session Adopted MEEITNG CLOSES MEETING OPENFD ORDINANCE #00-18 Discussion Mayor Failace said the Board of Education is in the process of working out a deal with St. Demetrius. Upon MMS&C by Councilmembers Crilley and Sohayda and unanimous affirmative vote of the full Council present the public portion of this meeting was closed. Mayor Failace asked for a motion to be made to go into Closed Session to discuss Personnel Matters. Resolution #00-203 was introduced by the Mayor and referred to the Council for action. Upon MMS&C by Councilmembers Sohayda and Santoro RESOLUTION #00-203 "RESOLUTION TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION" was adopted. Upon individual roll call vote Councilmembers Crilley, Fazekas, O'Brien, Quinones, Santoro and Sohayda voted in the affirmative. At approximately 8:38 p.m. a Closed Session was held. Upon MMS&C by Councilmembers Crilley and Fazekas and unanimous affirmative vote of the five (5) Councilmembers present this meeting was opened to the public at approximately 9:04 p.m. Councilmember Sohayda was noted absent. Attorney Coughlin spoke in reference to the Towing Ordinance, #00-18. He said he had met with Scott Flowers who had some concerns with the ordinance. He explained what they see in front of them is a proposed amendment where he thought he made valid points that really should have been taken into consideration. The reason he has done the amendment is to prevent the need to advertise the entire twenty-nine (29) page ordinance, but, again if you make these changes the ordinance would have to be re- advertised. It costs about $1000.00. He said there were other things that he proposed that he really didn't include, that he asked that there be a minimum of two (2) trucks per tow that there be a minimum amount of ten (10) spaces which he thinks it increased in size. The ordinance as drafted requires only one (1) inside and one (1) outside. That there be a minimum amount of experience of three (3) years in the industry in order to be eligible to tow and that there be a business facility for the towing. He explained that none of those were in there and that is because there is probably about eleven (11) towers that are interested in towing and have been towers for the Borough and many of them don't have those requirements and then it would preclude them from towing for the Borough. It was his sense that the Council wanted to maintain a status quo for the in town towers and we would decline to 1: favorably consider the amendments to the ordinance which would have an adverse affect on a number of the towers. He explained that what is in front of them is what he thinks would not affect a potential tower or the other and gives a little bit more in terms of fees by virtue of number three (3), revising of class rate, which would give us a higher towing fee to charge and it also reflects in what we mean by a heavy duty car. Panel Trucks can actually be treated like automobiles and Camper Type Vehicles can be used for recreational purposes, they are pretty big and this will allow more fee for activity. He then said they are looking for the Governing Body's direction. At approximately 9:1\~ p.m., Councilmember Sohayda was noted present. Mayor Failace asked Attorney Coughlin if we advised it with some of the things they discussed heM many towerS VKJtlld it 'mock off. Attorney Coughlin said his guess would be five (5) or six (6). Mayor Failace said that was too much. Councilmember Santoro asked why this ordinance was being changed. Attorney Coughlin said our ordinance, as it existed, was not enfo¡Çable. Mayor Failace said it needed to be upgraded. He then asked Attorney Coughlin if we leave the ordinance as is and put on the amending ordinance four the four (4) things, then we would not have to redo the whole ordinance. Attorney Coughlin said they would have to redo only the change. He would suggest to adopt the initial ordinance ........... All present interrupted, speaking on this for a short while. Councilmember Santoro said she felt the towers should have a facility that they tow out of. Mayor Failace questioned if we change the ordinance to say that, what would it do to the towers we have noW. Attorney Coughlin said he thought we would get eaten from a number of towers. He then went on to say we are ready to adopt the ordinance because we already had the Public Hearing on that. We can Table the vote on that and introduce this tonight. He said his recommendation would be to adopt the ordinance and introduce the amendment. 19 JUNE 15, 2000 ORDINANCE #00-18 Discussion Cont: eounc.i1member Sohayda noted present -.IUNE 15, 2000 ORDINANCE #00-18 Regulating and Enforcing Towing Road Service and Storage of Vehicles Adopted Upon MMS&C by Councilmembers Crilley and Sohayda ORDINANCE #00-18 "AN ORDINANCE TO REGULATE AND ENFORCE TOWING, ROAD SERVICE AND STORAGE OF VEHICLES IN THE BOROUGH OF CARTERET, COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX AND STATE OF NEW JERSEY" was finally adopted.
