She outlined the timeline, the services available, the costs and the details of the Records Information Management System (RIM) project. Ms. Casagrande pointed out the value of the Borough being able to cooperate with MonmouthCounty and to pool the PARIS grant resources with other participating towns.
  • Public Agency Review Results – Ms. Casagrande informed the Council that the Borough had recently been audited by the State of New Jersey for compliance with state law relating to affirmative action requirements in public contracting. Ms. Casagrande also informed the Council that the law required them to appoint a Public Agency Compliance Officer annually; she noted that this had not been done for 2008. She had given the Council a copy of the law and the requirements for the this appointment and asked the Council to review the information and make a determination on who they would want to appoint.
  1. VOICE OF THE PUBLIC
  • Mr. Joseph Hodl, 1708 Beverly Avenue – Mr. Hodl voiced concerns about placing sidewalks on Beverly Avenue. Mr. Hodl re-presented his letter that was originally sent to the Council and the DOT; he asked multiple questions about the project including what side of the street the sidewalks would be placed on and he pointed out that the funding was from municipal aide portion of DOT funding, which doesn’t have to include sidewalks. The Mayor informed Mr. Hodl that the project was being reviewed by the Borough Engineer and the Police Department, so the governing body would not be prepared to discuss the issue until they had their respective reports.
  • Ms. Sharon Batteau, 1719 Beverly Avenue – Ms. Batteau inquired as to whether there were any plans to meet with the residents of Beverly Ave regarding the sidewalk matter. The Mayor reiterated Council President Martin’s previous comment that the Council would be willing to have a representative meet with the residents.
  • Ms. Catherine Pezzella, 1704 Beverly Avenue - Ms. Pezzella commented that she felt there was a need to control traffic on Beverly Avenue and was against the installment of sidewalks. Ms. Pezzella also wanted to know if anyone had ever been injured in a traffic related accident on Beverly Avenue.
  • Mr. Ralph Sinisi, 1709 Beverly Avenue – Mr. Sinisi shared that he purchased this as a second home in 2001 and he bought the home because there were no sidewalks; Mr. Sinisi also asked for weekly grass pick-up because he presently takes his grass clippings back to North Jersey to discard them at his hometown dump.
  • Ms. Esther Murphy, 816 Greenwood Drive – Ms. Murphy shared details regarding the can drive that was underway in the community asking for donations of tuna fish and peanut butter; she explained that they need 1,056 more cans to complete the “Crack Down on Hunger” sculpture at the school.
  • Mr. John Brennan, 912 Wall Road – Mr. Brennan commented on the consolidation of services with other towns; he also mentioned the state of garbage trucks coming to the end of their useful life. Mr. Brennan expressed some concern over future consolidation and felt that future agreements on consolidated services should go out to public questions and presented a draft Ordinance to that end. The Borough Administrator noted that the discussion of the garbage trucks did not involve the end of their useful life; it involved the budget consideration associated with the recently replaced transmission in one of the trucks. She also noted that there has been no discussion of the consolidation of the Public Works department and Committee Chair, Councilman Maccanico supported that assertion.
  • Ms. Barbara Moglia, 1005 Park Avenue – Once again Ms. Moglia expressed concern about garbage cans located in front of homes and presented pictures of garbage cans in her neighborhood.
  • Mr. George Valise, Prospect Ave mentioned that he too has neighbors that leave trash cans out at the curb after their trash has been picked up.
  • Ms. Monica Murphy, 816 Greenwood Dr. reported an error in the spelling of Windsor Terrace street sign; the Mayor explained that it was an error by the vendor and that the sign had already been removed and it will be replaced with an accurate sign.
