2. ADMINISTRATOR SCHLEGEL

• a.a. Rental registration – the Code Compliance Supervisor has requested the Code Enforcement registration be discussed and currently it is up January 31st of each year. We’re requesting an amendment to that which would read “on an annual basis”. If a landlord had registered in November 2016, they would be required to renew November 2017. It helps with the clerical staff and we’ve verified with the computer software vendor confirming that it will inform us 30 days prior to the deadline that it’s up for renewal. We’ve listened to the complaints received and request it be changed to a annual basis. Upon further discussion, Council agreed. An ordinance will be prepared (for the December 13, 2016 meeting) reflecting an annual registration beginning on the anniversary date of the landlord’s initial filing.

PUBLIC COMMENT, ANY TOPIC

JOHN WALKER – 2 EVERGREEN COURT – seeking an update on the engine braking ordinance and Administrator Schlegel had no update. She stated that our DPW Director contacted the Police Department who has to meet with the County. She will follow up and advise Mr. Walker.

RICHARD EGAN – 526 DIAMOND ROAD – wanted to discuss billboards on I-95 and Attorney Cipriani will look to see if the land is outside of the State’s moratorium. She advised the State is not erecting billboards on their roadways and it will have to be researched. Councilman Calogero thought it was a great idea and requested a follow up at the next meeting and Council President Nixon agreed to proceed.

ESTER PETERSON – 1 DETROIT COURT – informed a pole barn was installed at 937 Woodlane Road and none of the neighbors knew anything about it. The rumors are they will be having a petting zoo. Council President Nixon advised it’s a matter for Administration/Code Enforcement and he confirmed that neither she nor any of her neighbors contacted Code. Administrator Schlegel advised they need a permit to build the pole barn but the neighbors might not have had to be informed. She requested Ms. Peterson to email her about this property and she will reach out to the Building and Code Enforcement Department regarding permits.

SHELDON HOFSTEIN – 48 BALTUSROL DRIVE – I have a relative in the billboard business and if you have 6 billboards built on Township property, the going rate is approx. $3,000/month or $216,000/year. It’s open to negotiations.
