Members Present: Present were Mayor William Henfey, President of Council Patrick Rosenello, Councilpersons Robert McCullion, Edwin Koehler, Joseph Duncan, Kellyann Tolomeo, Robert Maschio and Rick Ogen. Also present were City Administrator Raymond Townsend, Engineer Ralph Petrella, Solicitor William Kaufmann and Auditor Leon Costello.
Rosenello opened the caucus with announcing a change in the Salary Ordinance by adding Senior Mechanic. Public Works seasonal appointments were added to today’s appointments. Mayor Henfey also asked to add an EMT (Stephen Dalbow) for summer seasonal appointment.
Townsend questioned a 2 year commitment with COWCO stating developers are having trouble with inspections. Mayor Henfey said COWCO needs to send letters to property owners stating they did not have the proper paper work in for inspections and give the reasons why the delay.
Rosenello suggested having a meeting and inviting contractors to smooth out any discrepancies regarding COWCO. Townsend and Mayor Henfey feels this is not a bad idea.
Mayor Henfey stated we are getting $140,705.00 from the County Grant Program and he would like to put this money toward Central Avenue costs. Discussion was held regarding a Street Opening request for 300 block of E. 2nd Avenue. Mayor does not want to see this permit issued as the street was completed less than one year ago. Mayor Henfey also stated we will be awarding a contract for W. 1st Avenue bulkhead as we received a great price on this project - $66,666. Mayor also announced Assessor Lou Belasco is now Municipal Housing Liaison as we need someone to be in charge of COAH. Belasco has also recently been placed in charge of the Planning/Zoning Department.
Auditor Leon Costello stated the new Ordinance #1535 must be done before the Resolution #3 – Budget. Costello then explained the Cap Bank Ordinance. Rosenello stated the Ordinances will be done before the Resolutions this morning.
