We’re asking a volunteer for their assessment of liability where we should be seeking advice from a risk officer or legal counsel. Council will be voting on this Ordinance. Council President Kafton noted that’s why there’s a first reading and a second reading. The purpose of the second reading is to be able to gather the information that we need. Mr. Mayerowitz replied he hopes Counsel doesn’t have a problem after you pass the Ordinance. Attorney Gilmore stated if this Ordinance is adopted tonight on second reading then it has to go to the Mayor to sign and it places it in effect 20 days after the signing or he can veto it and send it back to Council. If there’s an amendment that can also be introduced at the next Council meeting. Regarding the issue of liability, I’ll tell you just like I’d tell anybody else, anybody can sue anybody at any time, for any reason. You should have them sign a release where they release the Township from any kind of liability whatsoever. Councilman Martin recommends we vote on this tonight and have a waiver prepared for the next meeting if need be. Attorney Gilmore stated Section 51-61 (8) provides that the Township has designated veterinarians to perform the neutering and spaying which requires the people to take it there, get a voucher, and take it back to the Township; where are the funds for that? Councilman Martin indicated from donations and also the Mayor and Council can put seed money in the budget to get the program started and it’s going to start as a line item. We are creating a trust fund. Council Vice President Rivere stated we discussed this with the attorney and the Township will take control because it’s our Ordinance we are establishing the trust and it will be a line item and after that it will be self-funded, we believe that or we wouldn’t be doing this Ordinance tonight. Attorney Gilmore asked is there a line item in the 2009 budget for that?" }, { "id": "p14.8", "order": 8, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.64, "t": 259.68, "r": 523.68, "b": 203.76 }, "text": "ADMINISTRATOR DEL TURCO: Noted we have to establish a Dedication by Rider through the New Jersey Division of Local Government Services because you’re receiving private contributions and I think under that circumstance we’ll have to establish a trust fund." }, { "id": "p14.9", "order": 9, "type": "text", "bbox": { "l": 86.16, "t": 190.08, "r": 414.48, "b": 149.76 }, "text": "MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BY: MARTIN MOTION SECONDED BY: RIVERE YES: MARTIN, TILIS, UPDEGRAVE, RIVERE & KAFTON" } ], "excluded_furniture": { "first": [], "last": [] } }
