Administrator Torres stated the Board of Education split their calendar year into two budget cycles and that is why they were able to hold their percentages. They are still going through the budget document and still have to hold their budget hearings. He cannot make that representation at this time. Councilman Martin said every effort will be made to keep it flat. Mr. Blair said as a trustee of Four Seasons South Knolls, their system to keep costs down is similar to Jackson Township's, and asked that taxes be kept stable."

            "text": "PAUL MAYEROWITZ, 91 CYPRESS POINT LANE thanked Ray Cattonar for his analysis. If we can't combine with the Board of Ed, it doesn't mean the Township couldn't have in-house council by itself. He questioned private street snow removal and whether it was intended to be used for the purposes of the County Council. He also asked the County Council if they were not to be dependent on those streets having the Title 39 and was told they must be subject to Title 39. Attorney Cipriani said her understanding is if the roads are not turned over to the township and if they are not subject to Title 39, they would have the ability to be cleared by the Township. Council clarified it is any development that is still under construction and where the roads have not been taken over by the Township. Mr. Mayerowitz then stated that his review of towers and wreckers applications showed that in the last 10 years, 50% of the towers and wreckers did not apply for license renewals in the township and who were not in the county. Council said the responsibility for assuring their renewals has not been doing that. Councilman Kafton said the responsibility for licensing is with the Police Department, not the Council. This would be checked, however. Mr. Mayerowitz questioned Bond Ordinance 40-11, citing over $1 million to repair a detention basin. Administrator Torres responded Jackson was selected to participate in a loan forgiveness program and this repair would be at no cost to the Township. Council approved the application about two months ago and named Dan Burke, Municipal Engineer, to oversee the project. Mr. Mayerowitz is concerned that this being the result of the Barnegat Initiative, what will happen to all the other basins in town, and who is going to fund that? He didn't understand $1.3 million for a hole in the ground. Finally, he has heard Council does not want to raise taxes, and if there isn't more revenue, the only remaining option is tax levies. Expenses have been controlled well, and attention needs to focus on revenue."

He called about loud music and was told she is within her rights. She raised her property 2.5-3' and graded it toward his property. The swale is gone. This has been going on for a few years so he wanted to let the Council know. He has issues with drainage and flooding because of her actions, and damage to his property. He has gotten no satisfaction from Code Enforcement and Planning and Zoning. Council President Bressi asked Mr. Torres to have T&M and/or Mr. Burke look into the matter, and Mr. Torres would get back to Mr. Vecchione tomorrow."

There is underlying damage that shouldn't be paved over, yet it was paved over recently and now the settling is occurring again. She said it was a complete waste of time and money and the underlying problem was not addressed. She has placed calls to DPW that weren't answered. Council President Bressi said he inquired as well and that two different departments are involved. Administrator Torres inquired after the last meeting to the Engineering office and found that was part of a pre-plan for the actual repair and they are bundling that job with other culverts and storm drains that need to be repaired and they will be addressed all at once. It is not a high risk priority at this time. It is part of the capital repair plan, and will provide a time frame to Council President Bressi. Ms. Pennington said she pulls weeds out of the street in front of her house. Ms. Pennington"
