PUBLIC
DISCUSSION:
The Mayor opened the Public Discussion.
Dave DaSilva, 108 Monroe Street, Haskell said on Fourth Avenue right around the area of the US Aluminum site and on Whistler Place about halfway up there are shoes hanging on the power lines and there can be depending upon who you ask some meaning behind what those mean such as gang activity and drug dealers and stuff like that. I pass it everyday and if somebody could just send a bucket truck out there or something just to get them down I think it would make a lot of people happier.
The Mayor said we’ll contact Jersey Central.
The Police Chief said we do not believe that it is a message that way. It has been used in the cities where the sneakers are thrown up over the wires. The better the sneaker the better the quality of the drugs. You are correct. It is a gang sign and it is a drug sign but in this particular case chances are it’s kids on the way home from school flipping another kids sneakers up over the wires because we do watch that very closely.
The Mayor said we will contact either Jersey Central or Verizon who ever happens to own that particular wire.
Dave DaSilva said regarding the closed session minutes I’m happy to know that at some point when I get to see the closed session minutes I’ll be able to see that so and so said that there is that kind of detail. Do we make those available both the work session minutes and the closed session minutes available on the website because I don’t see any.
The Attorney said there are some things that have come off. They have to be redacted from other things that were sent to me. I have to review them and I have to redact those things that are still the subject of negotiation and discussion, the subject of litigation. Some things have been resolved I’m sure in that period of time that can be released.
Dave DaSilva said is Mr. Carroll coming back.
The
Mayor said no he’s not. He had a family
emergency.
Dave DaSilva said last month I brought up a few different things that we had said that Mr. Carroll was the right person to answer the questions and maybe someone got an answer within the past month. I brought up the size of the property that you’re trying to acquire for the new borough hall there were a bunch of properties. I asked how big the property is. Do we know the answer to that.
The Mayor said I don’t know the exact acreage.
Dave DaSilva said I’ll wait until next month.
The Borough Attorney said you don’t have to wait. You can give him a call. He’s accessible. It’s probably better to call him in his office where he has files accessible. Also the tax maps have the lots and blocks designated on it.
Dave DaSilva said it puzzles me that we’re looking at a piece of property to put something there and we don’t know how big it is.
The Mayor said my guess is approximately three acres.
Dave DaSilva said I’ll agree to disagree because I think that information is important. The other thing is the two references to acquisition of land in the budget. One for two million dollars.
The Mayor said it’s a water main.
Dave DaSilva said that is considered an acquisition of land.
The Mayor said that’s where they put it.
Dave DaSilva said what is the average tax increase for the average assessed home this year.
The Mayor said the increase was approximately three percent.
Dave DaSilva said do you have a dollar amount.
The Mayor said not off the top of my head.
Dave DaSilva
said a few months ago you mentioned the possibility of doing a visioning
process for your application and report to the office of smart growth how is
that affected now by your participation within the
The Mayor said right now we have the choice with our town center designation to apply either to the office of smart growth or the Highlands Council. The Highlands Council tells us we’re better off to apply through them because they are the ones going to be regulating it anyway so we’re confidence putting our application before the Highlands Council.
Dave DaSilva said the grant that you are going to approve tonight, are any of those tied to doing it through the Highlands Council.
The Borough Attorney said the fifteen thousand dollars is a grant that enables us to make that application.
Dave DaSilva said it’s not tying us to going that route.
The Borough Attorney said it’s the beginning of a process that may lead to that but it certainly isn’t preordained that we go in that direction.
Dave DaSilva
said what was the total cost of the
The Borough Engineer said eight hundred thirty nine thousand dollars and some change. The project was bid, it was eight hundred thirty one thousand one hundred fifty dollars and there were some extra items that came up that had to be done when we got out there. Right in front of the spillway there is a box where you can turn the valve. That box was no good and had to be replaced and some other little items. So the total job went up seven thousand dollars from what it was bid. It was bid at eight hundred thirty one thousand one hundred fifty dollars and the final cost of the project was eight hundred thirty eight thousand five hundred dollars. So it was about seventy two hundred dollars over. So that’s less than one percent total change order on the project. It was a very low bid to start with and when the work was completed there weren’t that many unknown items that came up that really caused too many problems. The project came in at 1.89 percent of what we thought it would be.
Dave DaSilva said in reference to the redevelopment study that is going to be discussed is it October 16th , the planning board meeting.
The Mayor said yes it’s October 16th at 7:00 P.M.
Dave DaSilva said do you have that report. Does Tom have the actual report.
The Municipal Clerk said yes. He has the maps and I believe he will put it together and it should be available tomorrow.
Dave DaSilva said it was published, advertised yesterday in the newspaper but it said the report is dated the sixth. It just seemed odd that they were publishing something for a report that wasn’t issued until today.
The Mayor said I think they were publishing for the meeting.
The Municipal Clerk said I think he published the notice which said the report will be available today .
Dave DaSilva said it probably had something to do with the ten day thing where the report has to be available for ten days and has to be noticed ten days. It’s actually nine days officially if it was available today. The ninth day is next Thursday. So I was just curious if we actually had that in hand yet if I could come down tomorrow morning and take a look at it.
The Municipal Clerk said yes you can.
Dave DaSilva said okay. Thank you.
Grace
Maiello,
The Borough Attorney said 9.2 is Wanaque Builders, Stop and Shop which filed an application for three years in the tax court for a tax adjustment. The other one is various amounts for the County tax board. Some of those might have been Pulte units. There was only a few of them. The County tax board hears a variety of tax appeals and assessments. One thousand two hundred eleven dollars and fifty cents is the amount of various properties that were the subject of the adjustments. Most of those are done through arrangement directly with the Tax Assessor where the taxpayer brings the issue to the Tax Assessor and they go before the board and they agree on the amount.
Grace Maiello said okay. Thank you.
The Mayor closed Public Discussion.
