CAUCUS MEETING
AUGUST 2, 2011
9:50 A.M.
Members Present: Present were Mayor William Henfey, President of Council Patrick Rosenello, Councilpersons Robert McCullion, Edwin Koehler, Margaret Bishop, Richard Ogen and Salvatore Zampirri. Councilwoman Kellyann Tolomeo was not present. Also present were Acting City Administrator Louis Belasco and Solicitor William Kaufmann.
ACTING ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that a resolution is on the agenda to extend the grace period for interest payments on tax bills. The bills will be mailed out by Friday and the information is already available on the website. State aid figures for school districts were late so the tax rate was not set until recently. There are 2 appointments for alternate members on the Zoning Board. Interim Administrator Deaney has made recommendations for change order resolutions that will be implemented shortly.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that the resolutions will be easier to read.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that the engineers and department heads will need to be aware of these changes.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that these changes orders need the proper signatures from the department head or whoever is overseeing a specific project.
COUNCILMAN MCCULLION asked why the Recreation Center windows bids are being rejected.
ACTING ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that one bid was rejected are non-responsive and the other was too high. We can re-advertise and try to get a better price.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that with UEZ changes at the State level it seems like the local board does not exist anymore. Rosenello asked Solicitor Kaufmann to discuss with other local solicitors the current status of the Wildwoods UEZ board.
SOLICITOR KAUFMANN stated that the funding from the State has dried up. The local UEZ board was created by ordinance in each municipality, with by-laws, staff, etc. So technically the local board still exists but is not functioning as before.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that the municipalities are responsible for paying the salaries of the staff. The State has said that businesses will still be able to register. It is not known at this point what direction the State will take.
SOLICITOR KAUFMANN stated that businesses benefit from being members of an Urban Enterprise Zone, and consumers benefit as well. The zones have a positive economic impact. The local zone always generated enough income to cover its budget, but the State has changed the process and now if there is any shortfall the municipalities would be responsible to make up the difference.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that there will be no money coming in.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that the administrative budget has already been passed but we must be on top of this issue before the money runs out. The State’s 2011 budget restructured the entire UEZ framework. The old legislation that created the UEZ boards is no longer valid.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that a closed session will be necessary in the near future to resolve this issue. Also, the names of Timothy Barry and Doug Haley will be presented for appointment as alternate members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment. They are both willing to serve.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by McCullion, that caucus be adjourned. Carried. 10:00 AM
