He thanked Bobby Magner, Dennis McFadden, Chick Tuturro, Willliam Kolibas, Jr. and Ray Tobias for the re-lining of the parking lot. Patrick DeBlasio is getting in touch with Paul Gadomski to do the electrical upgrade. The specifications are prepared for the front steps. Mr. Parmar has been trying to get in touch with John Wanskus to sign off on the blueprints. Once he does that, Gloria Goodrich can go out for bids. Ray Tobias is doing his usual good job. He reported Progress. FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION: Committee Chairman Failace reported that he and Patrick DeBlasio went over the actual expenses, year to date. It looks very good. It looks like they put together a good budget. Councilmember Failace noted that the Mayor was with him at the Specials event on Monday. He spoke with Joanne Kisselman and it seems that they are having a problem because they lost the $9,000.00 grant. Mayor Sica said that they will look at it in January. They used to get a grant from Trenton and with all of the cutbacks, they will lose about $8,000.00, but they will not allow that to affect the less advantaged people in Carteret. If necessary, every taxpayer in town can bite the bullet and make up the $8,000.00. Councilmember Failace agreed and noted that the Mayor and his wife work hard with the Specials. There are a lot of volunteers that work with the Specials and we can't allow them to lose the grant. He reported Progress. FIRE: Committee Chairman Fazekas welcomed the two new volunteer members to the Fire Department. He thanked the Vv oodbridge Fire Department, along with the Carteret Fire Department for participating in last weekend's basketball game. PARKS & RECREATION: Committee Chairman Bialowarczuk reported that last weekend the Recreation Commission brought back the "Little Miss CaIteret" Contest. Commission Member Barbara Baumgartner did an excellent job putting it together. The judges did an extremely good job. They should be commended. The winner was Andrea Torres who is seven years old. She was crowned by Mrs. New Jersey who came into Carteret for the afternoon. 1~ The Mayor promised the four runners up, Mrs. New Jersey and Little Miss Carteret that they would participate in the Halloween Parade. Recreation Commission Chairwoman, Beverly Hedesh is sending out all of the forms either today or tomorrow on our Halloween Parade. It's going to be held on October 26, 1996. If there are any new groups that wish to participate, they can get Beverly's number at Borough Hall or at the Park's Department. Committee Chairman Bialowarczuk reported that in the Park's Department they just completed a lot of new cement work on the paths. They are going to continue with that next year. The long awaited bocci- ball court is just about done. They are also looking into putting antique lighting around it and Mr. Kolibas will have more information on the grand opening of the bocci-ball court on the bulletin board. Committee Chairman Bialowarczuk reported that beginning next week, they will also be resurfacing the basketball court in Cornell Park in West Carteret. Committee Chairman Bialowarczuk told the people that they do have more trees coming in. They are going to get the rest of the planting finished. She told them to be patient and they will have everything done. She reported Progress. POLICE: Committee Chairman Feingold said that he had a one hour plus meeting with the Chief and he reports that the mobile data terminals have been installed in some of the police cars. They are basically computers and our police officers are being trained in its use. Essentially, they can check license plates randomly and make motor vehicle stops based on what they find out as a result of their random computer check they don't have to stop somebody and then call into headquarters. They can check ahead of time and if the person is suspended, they can tell all of that from the computer. It's going to be very good in policing the community and weeding out revoked drivers, etc. Committee Chairman Feingold reported that school is back in session and everyone knows that the parking signs are being enforced around the schools. Be aware of school buses that have the red lights on. You can't go passed the school bus that is stopped, picking up students. That is a very serious penalty if you do. Be aware of the speed limits in and around the school areas, especially when there are children present. Committee Chairman Feingold reported that crime is generally down in Carteret, however, there were twelve burglaries last month. Be sure your homes are secure and report any suspicious activities that you see going around homes and areas of cars. Make sure your cars are secure. There was a rash of break-ins of cars. 13 Committee Chairman Feingold said that he rode along with Officer McFadden of the Traffic Bureau and he monitored the intersection, the left turn going onto the turnpike coming down from West Carteret.

PUBLIC DISCUSSIO~J 5 :1If HJTE LI~IT 5, 199C People were making left turns from the center lane and the right lane, causing accidents and they will get stopped. Officer McFadden is doing a fine job in the Traffic Bureau. Committee Chairman Feingold said that he's seen the perspective from Chrome, Middle and West Carteret, Supervisory, traffic standpoint, foot patrol and he plans to ride along with the radar detail in the future. The police, when needed, are responding and helping with the First Aid Squad and doing a fine job. They are just going along for the ride. They are not complaining about what they have to do. Committee Chairman Feingold commended Officer's Kitz and Spolizino. Sometimes police have to be there and very often are the first responders and because of their training they save lives. He reported Progress. PUBLIC WORKS: Committee Chairman Vesey reported that as everybcgyknows, Mr. Surick was operated on and the operation was called a success. Mr. Surick is out of the hospital now and he wants to thank everybody for all of the cards and all of the well wishes. Committee Chairman Vesey reported that all of the leaf bags are in. People can go to the Borough Gargage and pick them up. They will not be picking up the leaves until November 1st. He reported Progress. MUNICIPAL GARAGE SERVICES: Committee Chairman Failace reported that thereis been an electrical problem at the garage with the pumps. They had to be fixed. An electrician came down and fixed it but we have to do a little bit more with it and maybe, actually replace it if we can. He reported Progress. Mayor Sica reported that he hopes that everybody utilizes the bocci-ball court at the park. If they do, they have plans to put another in there, maybe a regulation size one and maybe they can attract some tournaments into Carteret to play bocci-ball. They are looking into naming that bocci-ball court and he will recommend the name ofMr. Pusillo. He was one of the first people to come to Carteret many years ago. He raised thirteen kids in Carteret and they are all good people. He was there when the first bocci-ball court was built. He will recommend to the Council at the next Council Meeting that they dedicate that bocci-ball court in his memory. lL' Upon MMS&C, by Councilmembers Vesey and Failace and unanimous affirmative vote of the full membership present, the meeting was opened to the public. Vincent Manetta said that he is sure that they are all aware that Saturday is Ethnic Day. The weather is not on their side this weekend and as it stands right now, depending on which channel you watch the weather on, they may be able to get it in on Sunday. As of right now, it is still on. They will call anyone and everyone probably tomorrow or Saturday morning and let them know about the rain date. He presented the Mayor and Council with Ethnic Day T-shirts and hats. Mr. Manetta noted that sixty-two vendors will be there. George Malek said that the other day there was a crash on the Industrial Road. The Police Department, Fire Department and First Aid were there within a few minutes and they a beautiful job. Mayor Sica agreed. An unidentified resident from Charles Street complained that his neighbor has roaches. Mayor Sica told him not to say their name, but at the end of the meeting he should give him the name and he will have the Health Board there in the morning. The gentlemen said that he called the Health Board and they were very laid back. Mayor Sica noted that if they are laid back in the morning, they'll be way back looking for a job. School Guard Georgia Barran thanked the Police Department for their help with the start of school. School Guard Ruthann Donovan thanked Detective McFadden, Deputy Chief Hack, Captain Barany and Willie Kolibas. They did a wonderful job. Mayor Sica said that he understands that it was utter chaos. He said that he doesn't know who to lay that blame on. He is sure that it will all straighten out. The Mayor noted that they will have to take a look at Carteret Avenue. During school time, the teachers just park wherever they want. We will have to limit that parking. On Carteret Avenue, by Lincoln School which is now Middle School, there's a whole area of head-on parking. They won't park in there, they'll park right next to it in the middle of the street because they don't want to walk. That has to stop. George Barron said that it is the same thing by Columbus School. 15 Mayor Sica said that perhaps they can make an arrangement with St. Joseph's School to allow them to use St. Joeph's parking lot. We're going to make no parking on that center isle. SEPTEMBE~ 5, 190f PUBLIC DISCUSS F)~I - cnN'T.
