ORDINANCES, SECOND READING: ORDINANCE 39-11 TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON, COUNTY OF OCEAN, STATE OF NEW JERSEY, AMENDING AND SUPPLEMENTING CHAPTER 51 OF THE TOWNSHIP CODE, ENTITLED “DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS”, ARTICLE I, ENTITLED “LICENSING OF DOGS” ## PUBLIC HEARING OPENED PAUL MAYEROWITZ, 91 CYPRESS POINT LANE didn't understand the licenses expire at the end of December but licensing isn't required until April 1. The prior ordinance, 38-11, which was not acted on, had the December 31 requirement in it, but this one does not. He asked why it was changed. Attorney Cipriani said the department that requested the ordinance also requested that change. Mr. Mayerowitz asked why the licensing couldn't be April 1 and not have a four month grace period. Attorney Cipriani responded this is the way the department requested it to be structured. Mr. Mayerowitz said his review of the ordinance only requires licensing for dogs. Based on budget review, the expenses for dog control do not make up the expenses spent for animal control, and a large expenditure is for cats. He said we need to get the revenue but no one ever introduces the ordinance.

Ann Marie Eden, RMC Township of Jackson ## PUBLIC HEARING OPENED, RESOLUTIONS ONLY PATTI PENNINGTON, 3 LONDON DRIVE questioned 392R-11 for online registration. She is all for it but asked if there is any consideration for families that don't have computers and if that would put them at a disadvantage. Administrator Torres said they will still have face to face registration, and this is for those people who are unable to get to Town Hall. Both face to face and online registration will occur simultaneously. PAUL MAYEROWITZ, 91 CYPRESS POINT LANE said 394R-11 authorizes the sale of one plenary retail consumption license and it doesn't have a starting bid price. Council President Bressi said that was discussed in Executive Session and asked for legal guidance before stating the amount. Attorney Cipriani said the number needs to be given before a vote. Council President Bressi stated the minimum bid would be $350,000. Mr. Mayerowitz asked how they arrived at that number. Council President Bressi said it is in line with other licenses being transferred. Mr. Mayerowitz asked how much the Plain Jane's license sold for and was told $295,000. Council President Bressi stated some sold for more and some for less, and that is how they arrived at the number. Mr. Mayerowitz said 395R-11 appears to mean we have reached an agreement with JCP&L on the LED lighting issue and asked what the agreement is. Attorney Cipriani said the latest meeting between the Township and JCP&L about 6 weeks ago resulted in JCP&L coming more in line with the Township's estimate about the cost to install each lamp, coming down from their original estimate of several thousand dollars per light to around $800 per light and she expected the work to begin sometime after the first of the year, weather permitting, and assuming the agreement would be signed. Council President Bressi said the number might come down from the $800 and hoped to move forward soon. It should result in a 25% savings the first year. The grant covers the cost of the lights with installation. Councilwoman Rivere offered a copy of the agreement to Mr. Mayerowitz for his review.

TOWNSHIP CLERK DISCUSSION AGENDA: ## COUNCIL PRESIDENT BRESSI: • Support of Ocean County Mayor’s Association for waiver of permit fees to NJDEP for improvements to public property Council agreed to include a resolution of support for the waiver of NJDEP fees for improvements to public property on its December 13, 2011 agenda. ## COUNCILMAN KAFTON: ## • Snow and Ice removal from Private Streets or Roads Councilman Kafton cited some residents that complained when their roads could not be plowed in a snowstorm and the Township could not plow their road because the development wasn't finished. It took 3-4 days for the residents to be able to leave their streets. There is an ordinance in place for developers to clear their roads within 24 hours or the Township would clear the roads and bill the developer. He asked Council to develop an ordinance to do the same thing. Attorney Cipriani said the ordinance would outline the rules and the Township would have to keep track of the costs, which would be acknowledged via resolution and could be done per snowstorm. Councilwoman Rivere asked if it would be enforceable and if Public Works could handle the extra workload as it has difficulty keeping up with its own Township roads within 24 hours. She asked how it would be enforced. Attorney Cipriani said the first part (the ordinance) offers clear statutory authority to clear the roads. As far as more teeth, there could be a system of higher fines. The concern is that might ultimately provide incentive, but not immediate relief. The fines would be part of the ordinance structure. This ordinance is for roads that have not been turned over to the township and not its own roads. ## - Leaf Pick Up Program Councilman Kafton referred to the flyer about leaf pick up. He had an issue with the program where leaves would be picked up from someone who called in but if his neighbor around the corner didn't call in till a week or so later, Public Works would come back again. Councilman Kafton asked if that wasn't ridiculous. Council President Bressi stated that the Director of Public Works said they would pick up contiguous leaves. Councilman Kafton felt people wouldn't know they have to call and the leaves wouldn't get picked up in a timely manner should it snow. Director of Public Works Fred Rasiewicz spoke, stating this year they were trying something different. Last year, the program began in early October and leaves didn't finish falling until the end of November, and the weather was an issue. This year, they started the program the second week in November. There are eight districts. People would rake leaves after Public Works came through and picked up leaves. They decided to utilize a call in basis, and they would pick up the leaves from the people who call and in addition, they would pick up all the leaves on the street. He has six crews to accommodate over 100 square miles, and it is time consuming. The residents have to be educated and must not co-mingle brush with the leaves. They sent out the flyers and utilized robo calls. It might not be a perfect plan, but it is different and they are looking to pick up the leaves and do so before the snow falls. Councilman Kafton felt they are punishing the taxpayers by requiring them to call or they won't pick up the leaves. He felt they should just go to pick up the leaves by the end of November and beginning of December. Councilman Martin said a crew came in a week ago and a number of houses weren't picked up. He felt the workers needed to be educated on that. Mr. Rasiewicz stated the response from the public has been good and is better than last year. Any communication problems would be addressed. Councilman Kafton said leaves should be picked up once the leaves are down. Councilwoman Rivere recalled a resident could call in once and if there are other leaves on the street they would be picked up, and another caller at another time results in another trip to the street. She suggested neighbors pooling their leaves and utilizing multiple pickups to maximize the leaf pickup procedure. ===== PAGE 30 ===== ## ADMINISTRATOR TORRES: ## • Chapter 97A, Towers and Wreckers Administrator Torres was looking for Council support to amend administrative charges for releasing a vehicle. He said at times vehicles could be subject to additional investigation and there would be a fee for releasing the vehicle, about $15 to $20. This is only if the vehicle is in storage and would be paid by the owner of the vehicle. Council felt this is more of a tax, and the Township should be looking for ways to cut costs instead of increasing taxes and spending more. Captain Siedler of the Police Department felt the fee would be helpful to cover costs when a vehicle is used in an crime and the Police Department handles the storage and notification to owners. Council felt that is different and understood that, and agreed with a storage fee if the vehicle has to be stored at the Police Department. Attorney Cipriani will develop an ordinance and forward it to the Police Department for review. • Farmland Preservation – Resolution of Support Administrator Torres received communication from the Ocean County Agricultural Board for participation in the Planning Incentive Grant (PIG) and asked for approval and support of purchasing 1,700 acres for preservation. Resolution for December 13. • Menorah Lighting Ceremony – December 21, 2011, 4:00 p.m. Administrator Torres announced the event. • Employee Time Entry System – Tempo System Administrator Torres said this system would be helpful to document time taken and earned and assist manpower in maintaining the time records of all employees. Resolution to be prepared for the December 13 meeting. ## PUBLIC HEARING, ANY TOPIC: RAYMOND CATTONAR, 11 FORDHAM ROAD produced a 16-page report of how in-house legal services would save money. Council received copies from the Mayor this evening. He proposed that the Township hire an in-house attorney and paralegal. He feels there could be significant savings. He said he would petition the town to have this put on an ordinance. Council President Bressi stated that Mr. Cattonar did a nice job on the report and that he would review it. He noted the suggestion for shared services with the Board of Ed and that the Township attorney has stated we couldn't do that, at least several times. He suggested Mr. Cattonar make a presentation to the Board of Education and that a copy of this report should be presented to the Citizen's Budget Advisory Committee, and in the meantime, Council could research the content of the report. Council President Bressi said this is more appropriately reviewed during the budget workshop hearings in the near future. Attorney Cipriani's opinion remained consistent that the shared legal services could not be combined with the Board of Education and she would ask the State Ethics Committee for an advisory opinion. Mr. Cattonar asked the current status of the budget and was told the numbers are preliminary and they are looking to finalize contract agreements before the end of the year. Mr. Cattonar said in house attorney rates could be 50% of what is in place now. BOB BLAIR, 35 BANBURY LANE spoke of Lacey Township furlough pay. PERC sided with the union in that town, and consequently, Jackson Township TWU is suing for back pay up to $200,000. He asked if outside legal counsel approved of the decision to furlough and Attorney Cipriani said she is not labor counsel and could not comment. Mr. Blair asked Administrator Torres if there is an accrual for these monies. Administrator Torres said no, the furlough plan was approved by the administrative code, and approved by the Department of Civil Service and then agreed to by PERC. It is a matter of litigation at this point. Attorney Cipriani knew there are many municipalities that relied on the administrative code provision and the approval from Civil Service. There is a precedent from PERC and there may be precedents from the Appellate Division as well. Mr. Blair said the last Council meeting passed ordinance 35-11 with police promotions and an increase in police officers. Council disagreed with the numbers, saying the wording was changed from 87 officers to up to 87 officers. Mr. Blair said there was no reason to do so. Councilman Martin said it doesn't mean there are 87 officers, it removed the requirement to actually have 87 officers. Mr. Blair said in June, the officers were being laid off. Then they weren't and there wasn't a good explanation for it. Council President Bressi stated there were give backs to save those jobs last year. Mr. Blair stated ===== PAGE 31 ===== the Board of Education and Municipal budgets did not adhere to the 2% cap mandated by the State last year and declared their next fiscal year budget would remain flat versus the prior year, meaning no increase from their prior year budget and asked Mr. Torres if the municipal budget would also remain flat in the same manner. 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. DAN MORELI, 2 EVERGREEN COURT said his neighbor's leaves were picked up and not his. He thought they should pick up all the leaves in one pass if they are called out to a home. Council President Bressi said that is what was stated, and it has been made aware that is not what is being done in some cases. That is why Mr. Rasiewicz was present to make the comments tonight. 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. GENE VECCHIONE, 609 BURKE ROAD said his neighbor is doing things that are detrimental to his property. He has contacted Code Enforcement and Planning and Zoning numerous times. 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. PATTI PENNINGTON, 3 LONDON DRIVE stated her concerns about the road in front of her house, especially near the intersection with Birmingham Drive. 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 ===== PAGE 32 ===== 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 ===== PAGE 33 ===== questioned the police promotions and it was explained that the jobs were performed by the police and when retirements occurred, the promotions were given to those officers who were already performing the duties. The two new officers that were hired replaced two officers that left. Mr. Antonoff asked for the numbers and was told he would have them. MARIE CHAMBRA, 12 HARVEST COURT raked her leaves to the curb and called DPW. She knows they have 7 business days to collect them. She didn't want to see them buried by the snow and was happy with the process. RAY CATTONAR, 11 FORDHAM ROAD asked about the police promotions. Council President Bressi stated the police were doing the above class work for so long, they would have been awarded the promotions regardless if they went to Civil Service. Administrator Torres has the numbers to show there is no increase in this year's budget and for next year, it comes out the same or $2,000 less. Council President Bressi said the concessions the police gave was not to justify the promotions; it saved 23 officers' jobs. Negotiations are still pending. JOHN SIEDLER pointed out the two officers are not an addition. The 87 officers are not an increase. There are 73 officers. There is still a decrease. They have worked the positions without the (above class) pay. RICHARD ZAUNER, 109 N. COUNTY LINE ROAD said there was never a problem with leaves. He said the forester might be able to help. Leaves could be blown back into the woods on people's property that have woods. He said the gypsy moths destroyed trees and we sprayed and now we have a problem with leaves. This is Mother Nature. He suggested having a policy for leaf pickup in place for one year so that people could prepare. Bulky waste is a service and those people whose bulky waste isn't being picked up should perhaps qualify for a tax rebate, as their taxes are already paid. He offered his services as Santa, free of charge, for those people who can't get out and would enjoy his giving back to the community he lives in. He spoke of his tax assessment, which has started a major problem for him. The assessors did not do their job. MARIE CHAMBRA, 12 HARVEST COURT asked Mr. Torres if he has a cost on the time card system, how many employees are there and how many will be punching in. Mr. Torres said everyone except the Executive Branch would be punching in. The system is under the State contract and it was in the 2009 Capital improvement budget. He said there are 267 employees. Software, hardware, training and maintenance is about $29,000. They will realize savings in this time and attendance method. It interfaces with Edmunds. There would be 4 time clocks.
