said there is money for the things they want. She identified a situation with leaf pick up and suggested bags be used. Most people did not know they need to call to get their leaves picked up. Mr. Torres would respond to Ms. Pennington's issue on the road by tomorrow.

KATHLEEN MUELLER, 500 BEGONIA COURT is director of 60 Acre Reserve. She said she was told the reason 60 Acres doesn't get municipal services is because they don't vote and don't have their voices heard. She thinks Council is doing their best, but they are just as anxious to get a municipal services agreement as the Township is.

Councilman Martin left the meeting.

FATHER DAVIDSON, 502 BREWERS BRIDGE ROAD read Mr. Cattonar's proposal, and the shared services agreement are only the ones not in conflict, and it was clear in the proposal. He knows it is difficult to keep taxes down. He pays 40% of his gross income in taxes to the town. When taxes rise, they impact him greatly. He emphasized how critically important it is to keep taxes in check. There are many people on the edge of losing it all.

CATHY GIANCOLA, 573 HENRY STREET noted Councilman Martin left the meeting and wanted to know if his address was correct; Administrator Torres would check on that tomorrow and get back to her. She asked about moving forward with televised Council meetings. People like it. She asked what needs to be done to accommodate that. Council President Bressi said they have moved forward in putting the audio of the meetings online, and the agenda is online in total. Ms. Giancola said not everyone has access to a computer and would like to watch the meetings in progress to assess how the elected officials are handling situations. She asked again what she needs to do next in order to have the meetings televised. Council President Bressi said they inquired with the Board of Education. Councilman Kafton asked if Councilwoman Rivere and Councilman Martin, liaisons with the Board of Education, could get in touch with the Board of Education about the shared services for this. Ms. Giancola asked how much time is needed to have the agenda posted. She remarked that the agenda was not on the website until Monday and the public needs more time to look it over prior to the meeting. Council President Bressi said normally it is done sooner and no items are added to the agenda after Thursday. Also, items that were previously placed on the agenda are now discussed at a meeting prior to being recommended as an ordinance or resolution. The agenda is on the website as a courtesy for the public; it is not a requirement. Council President Bressi stated he worked with the Clerk's office on the agenda as of Wednesday and there was a holiday weekend involved. He was told it would be placed online and knew it would be. Ms. Giancola remarked again that it wasn't online until yesterday. Ms. Giancola asked what happened with recycling pickup this week. Her husband was extremely upset that they didn't pick up their recycling. Councilwoman Rivere spoke with DPW on the fact that they would pick up both Saturday and Sunday in this holiday weekend, but many residents were unaware of that, and she hoped that would not happen next year during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Ms. Giancola disapproves of leaves in bags as it is impractical on her street. She will call for the leaves to be picked up tomorrow and hopes the whole street is picked up as they said. Ms. Giancola asked Attorney Cipriani if she is contacting the State Ethics Committee as stated earlier. Attorney Cipriani clarified it is the Attorney Ethics; Ms. Giancola asked if she could contact them as well and Attorney Cipriani said yes.

STEPHANIE BROWN, NEW PROSPECT ROAD asked how the municipality files documents that are 15 years old. Ms. Brown needed the environmental impact statement from the 1970s, and it should have been at the municipality and wasn't. Clerk Eden and Council President noted she did receive her information, however. Ms. Brown asked if the light bulbs in the center of the room could be changed as they get hot and she noticed they are not environmental light bulbs.

NICHOLAS ANTONOFF, MURRAY DRIVE said the tax levy went up 76.4% in the past 6 years and cited the percentages of increase since 2005. There is no more money and the best hasn't been done in reducing expenses. He asked that salaries and benefits be reduced. He asked if contracts have been settled and was told not yet. Mr. Antonoff
