Ronna Pearl, Library Director said that she is afraid of the
domino effect ifthi" Ordinance is put into effect and if it goes
up to Pershing Avenue and Carteret Avenue. The next block
is Pershing Avenue and Emerson Street where the Library is.
If there is no restricted parking on Pershing and Emerson, they
will have a major problem. They won't have any parking for
the Library patrons. From what she's read in the paper, this
Ordinance will restrict on the other streets from...(inaudible).

Council President O'Brien noted that it will be one half-hour
parking from Atlantic to Pershing and no parking from
Carteret Avenue down to ......(inaudible).
Ronna Pearl said that right now there are many cars that are
parked on the island between Pershing & Emerson because
these people commute to New York. Right now it reduces
the amount of parking available to Library patrons. She asked
them to consider making no parking between 6:00 AM. . to
9:00 AM. on the island from Pershing to Emerson. Then
people wouldn't park there all day long from 6:00 in the
morning until 6:00 at night and there will be more space for
library patrons.
Council President O'Brien said that right now the
Council.....(inaudible).....for the kids in Columbus School.
They can discuss this at the next Agenda and they can always
amend this ordinance.
Borough Attorney Hedesh noted that it will probably just
require another ordinance.
Ronna Pearl said that there already is one in effect from 1970
and that ordinance prohibits parking on Carteret Avenue from
6:00 AM. to 9:00 AM. between the intersection ofCarteret
Avenue and it ran to Carteret Avenue and Emerson Street.
She said that she appreciates anything that they will take into
consideration. She realizes that the school situation has
caused a lot of problems. She just wants to make them aware
that without access to the Library, people will not be able to
get there.

David Boland asked to speak on Resolution #96-277, concerning the bid
on 3 Sharot Street. On September 23, 1996 there was an auction
concerning that property. He attended it in hopes of purchasing that
property. He followed the auction rules and bid on the property. There
was no other individual there who counter-offered his bid. Mr. Hedesh
accepted his bid. Prior to that auction, there was another auction. There
was absolutely no interest at the first auction and there was no bid offered
then. He said that he would like to explain to the Council, his opposition
to their decision to reject his offer. He was the only one who bid and the
only one interested in the property. He doesn't see where it would
benefit Council to hold another auction on a piece of property that
obviously, nobody is interested in. Those who have viewed and
inspected that property can clearly see that it is a dilapidated building.
OCTOBER 3, 1996
cm1Î1ENTS
CON IT.
It would need to be demolished and removed. Some would
consider this property to be in an undesirable area of town
and that would lead him to believe and obviously, the
auctions, that no one is interested in the property. The
Council would be ill advised to have another auction because
basically, it would serve no purpose. Nobody is interested in
the property. Most people cannot afford the expense to
renovate the property. He said that he will. He will purchase
the property and construct a new home there. He will pay to
have it demolished and removed. He estimates that it will cost
between $7,000.00 and $10,000.00 for demolition and clean
up. He said that he will then invest another $70,000.00 to
construct a brand new home on the property. It benefits the
community and it benefits the Borough of Carteret. The
Borough ofCarteret, right now, generates no tax revenue on
that property. In reality, the property is just sitting there and
the Borough loses money each and every day. He said that he
wants to take the property over beautify the area, build a
brand new home and generate a higher tax revenue for the
Borough because now it receives none.
Mr. Boland spoke about his real estate experience.
Mr. Boland asked the Council to amend their decision, accept
his offer and allow him to put them in a win-win situation.
The Borough would immediately get tax revenue and we
would beautify an eyesore to the community. He said that he
doesn't request any kind of local or county grants or tax
abatements. It comes clearly out of his pocket. He said that
he buys, renovates and sells. It would serve no usefull
purpose to hold another auction.
Councilmember Failace asked if $1.00 was the starting bid.
Borough Attorney Hedesh explained that this was a property
that the Council was going to authorize a demolition on.
Somebody at the Agenda Meeting suggested to put it up for
sale and to let whoever buys it, demolish it. In effect, even the
bid is $1.00, it's really probably $10,001.00. The stipulation
is that the property has to be demolished within thirty days.
That is a condition of the sale. Upon him taking title, within
thirty days he must demolish the property or the town can
come in, demolish it and lien the property.
Mr. Boland agreed.
Boorugh Attorney Hedesh noted that the minimum bid is
$1.00 because of the restriction on it.
[.
Councilrnember Fazekas asked what the cost is to knock the
building down.

Borough Attorney Hedesh said that he has to get a demolition permit. He
has to do it in compliance with the code, demolish it, remove it and grade
the property.
Councilmember Bialowarczuk asked about amending the resolution.
Borough Attorney Hedesh said that this resolution can be voted down and
then amend the Agenda to include a resolution to accept this bid.

Borough Attorney Hedesh explained that there was an
application for transfer of Sail Inn. They tabled that because
the license had been seized by the Department of the Treasury,
the State of New Jersey for back taxes. He forwarded a letter
to the ABC requesting guidance on that application.
Subsequent to that, the successful person went in and paid the
lien on the back taxes. We have a copy of the Certificate of
Sale and the taxes have been paid on it. There is an individual
now who owns that license pursuant to a sale by the
Department of Treasury. The gentleman came into the
Borough Hall yesterday or today and he spoke to him on the
phone from the Clerk's Office. He has placed the application
before the Borough. He told the purchaser that we have not
received an answer from the Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control and so, consequently, he didn't know if it
was in our jurisdiction to take action on this. He told him that
ifhe had the application in today, he would recommend to the
Council that they accept the application, send it to the Police
Department and the various departments in order to do the
review. Then, by the time our departments get their review
done, he will have gotten an answer from the Alcoholic
Beverage Control in order to advise the Council whether they
can act on it, approve the transfer or not. For him to wait
until we got that answer, would not necessarily be fair to the
person who put up the money to buy the license.

1997. Whether we get the revenues from the State or not is another story.
We applied for some FEMA money for the snow storms last year.

from 12:00 noon to 4:00 P.M. He invited everybody to take
part in it and said that it's a good way to look and see what is
going on in the firehouse and to meet a lot or the volunteer's
and non-volunteer's.
PARKS & RECREATION: Committee Chairman
Bialowarczuk reported that the reason the Mayor is not there
this evening is because his sister had emergency, bypass
surgery. She is doing fine and he is on his way back to
Carteret. The Park's Department is moving along. The
Recreation Commission is working on the Halloween Parade
at this time. This coming week there will be a meeting.
Beverly Hedesh has gotten a lot of the paperwork back from
the people who are participating. They will be having more
frequent meetings. She reported Progress.
POLICE:. Committee Chairman Feingold reported that he is
continuing his ride along program. Last Saturday from 2:00
P.M. to 10:00 P.M., he rode with Patrolman Stroka. They
took active part in doing everything from quelling domestic
disputes to disbursing juveniles to generally enforcing traffic
and criminal laws in the Borough ofCarteret. Officer Stroka
did a fine job orienting him toward his zone, which at that
particular time was Chrome. Things were very quiet there, the
deterrent affect of our officer's presence known in the town.
He said that he's seen a marked input since he became
Commissioner almost two years ago. Today, from 7:00 AM.
until 6:00 P.m., he rode with the Traffic Bureau. He was with
Officer Makwinski and they handled the heavy traffic jam at
the turnpike early in the morning. They went over to
Columbus School and West Carteret enforcing traffic laws.
Officer Makwinski has a very good handle on how to
distinguish a time of when a warning is appropriate to when a
summons is appropriate. He uses his discretion very well.
That's important for the public's perception of our police
oftìcers as well as enforcemem. He said that he rode from
5:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. with Officer Huchko. They wrote
thirty-five (35) summonses in an hour and one half. They had
a àetail where Officer McFadden would sit in a plain motor
vehicle and tip them off by radio as to who is running the red
light. They were pulling over seven people at a time. Officer
Huchko is one of our tìnest officers. If they all were like
Officer Huchko, Carteret would be a safer place in which to
Jive. He reponed a lot of progress in the Police Department.

PUBLIC WORKS: Committee Chairman Vesey reported that leafbags
are available down at the Borough Garage. They will not pick up leaves
until November 1st. If your neighbor can't make it, you can pick up the
bags for them. He reported that potholes are being repaired. Anybody
that has any potholes or knows of any should call and they'll take care of
it.
Committee Chairman Vesey reported that the price to fix the roof at the
garage is approximately $4,700.00 which is grant money, not taxpayers
money. With Ted Surick not there, he hates to say it, but they're doing
a good job down there. He reported Progress.
MUNICIPAL GARAGE SERVICES: Committee Chairman Failace said
that he spoke to Willie Kolibas last week who assured him that the cherry
picker would be ready to go for tree cutting and so forth. He spoke to
Vic Kazio last week and he said that it is ready to go. He reported
Progress.

Upon MMS&C, by Councilmembers Vesey and Failace and
unanimous affirmative vote of the full membership present, the
meeting was opened to the public.
George Malek referred to Communication # 18 from Comcast
Cablevision and said that the people should not have to pay
extra money.
An unidentified person mentioned changing cable companies.
Borough Attorney Hedesh advised that we have a contract
with Cablevision for ten years. At the end of that contract it
probably could be bid.
Mr. Malek complained about paying for so many commercials.
There being no further business or discussion, upon MMS&C,
by Councilmembers Vesey and Bialowarczuk and unanimous
affirmative vote of the full membership present, the meeting
was adjourned at approximately 8:05 P.M.
