As Clerk of this meeting, I publicly announce that in compliance with the provisions of the “Open Public Meetings Act” adequate notice of this meeting of the Jackson Township Committee has been advertised in the manner prescribed by law. This statement shall be entered into the Minutes of this meeting.

DEPUTY MAYOR GIBLIN: He read from a proclamation declaring the week of February 9th through February 15, 2003 as FBLA-PBL week in Jackson Township.

MA #13-03 – ALARM REVIEW BOARD – KEVIN DeGESU – Commencing immediately and ending December 31, 2003.

COMMITTEEMAN BRODERICK: He thanked everyone for coming. He then stated that the Emergency Management Group, which he is the liaison for, has done a number of things over the past couple of weeks. In the near future he will be bringing updates on Homeland Security along with a number of different issues that is going on within the infrastructure of the Township. In closing, he told everyone to get home safely.

COMMITTEEMAN GRISANTI: He thanked everyone for coming out and waived his comments.

COMMITTEEMAN REILLY: He too thanked everyone for coming and then stated as a former member and a past president of Jackson FBLA he realizes how hard the students work and congratulated the entire membership on their achievements. At the last meeting the Mayor and the Committee presented an idea on improving the efficiency of our Building Department and increasing turnaround on pools, fences, sheds, etc. This issue was in fact an important part of his platform which he campaigned on last year. He congratulated Mr. Kafton and the rest of the Committee for taking direction from information brought forward by his campaign. While they may disagree on how these ideas are implemented it is important that action was taken on the idea itself. He said he looks forward to having more input on this topic. Tonight the Committee will be taking action on another topic that was brought forward by his campaign last year. This ordinance will prohibit vehicles over 4 tons from traveling on certain roads in Jackson. These ideas improve the efficiency of government and the safety of the community. He complemented the Committee for recognizing and acting on some good ideas and he is glad that his campaign and presence on this Committee influenced the decision making of the majority.

DEPUTY MAYOR GIBLIN: He congratulated the FBLA on a job well done and waived further comments in light of the comments his fellow Committeemen made, some true and some false, but will waive his comments and let the public digest the truth.

COMMITTEEMAN REILLY: He asked where the funding is coming from on this? Is there a plan for this property once acquired? The appraisal says they were considering it to be a buildable lot. It doesn’t appear to be in a zone where it is buildable on that acreage. Administrator Kennedy explained that at the last meeting they amended the temporary budget that was introduced on January 1st. There was not a provision in there and received a call from Mr. Starkey and we amended it to include the purchase and it is in your copy tonight. Attorney Starkey explained that right now this only authorizes him to proceed with the acquisition of the property that lot will then merge by law with the neighboring township lot. At that point it would be up to the governing body to decide whether it is suitable for public purpose and if not you would have the option to put it up for sale. He later added that it is a buildable lot and someone could put a house there. He explained that you would have to go to the Zoning Board for a variance to build on it. In his opinion it is appropriate to value it as a buildable lot. Committeeman Giblin explained by doing this they are preventing any additional homes being built on the adjoining property. This will prevent a possible litigation and prevent another house from being built.

WHEREAS, the Township Committee has determined that the acquisition of property designated as Block 9.01, Lot 214 on the Tax Map of the Township of Jackson is necessary and suitable for public purposes; and

WHEREAS, said parcel consists of approximately 2.10 acres of land along Charles Street; and

WHEREAS, an agreement has been negotiated for the purchase of said parcel for the purchase price of $35,000.00; and

WHEREAS, the Township’s Chief Financial Officer has certified that sufficient funds have been appropriated for the acquisition.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Township Committee of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, as follows:

YES: BRODERICK, GRISANTI, REILLY & GIBLIN ABSENT: KAFTON

COMMITTEEMAN BRODERICK: For the public’s edification and not to downplay anything that Mr. Reilly said in his comments, but he explained that he and Mr. Grisanti met with the Police Director and the Sergeant of the Traffic Department in the year 2001. This was to look at reducing tonnage on roadways. He then addressed Committeeman Reilly and stated that he didn’t want to burst his bubble, but it wasn’t his campaign that did it. It was their discussions with the traffic department and safety director to incline us to not only these but a number of other streets, but the DOT being what they are it takes time to get things moving with them. Committeeman Reilly commented that he was glad that it got done.

WHEREAS, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:67-16.1 entitled Truck Routes, the following regulation shall be enforceable and apply to the following streets located within the Township of Jackson:

Unless another penalty is expressly provided for by New Jersey Statute, every person convicted of a violation of this ordinance or any supplement thereto shall be liable

Page 12 of 32

to a penalty of not more than one hundred ($100.00) dollars or imprisonment for a term not exceeding fifteen (15) days or both.

If any part of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of the Ordinance.

If any section, subsection, paragraph sentence of any part of this ordinance is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid, such judgment shall not affect impair or invalidate the remainder of this ordinance not directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.

This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon final passage and publication as required by law and approval by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the foregoing Ordinance was introduced and passed on first reading at a regular meeting of the Township Committee of the Township of Jackson, in the County of Ocean, State of New Jersey, held on January 27, 2003 and will be considered for second reading and final passage at the regular meeting of said Governing Body to be held on the 10th day of February, 2003, at 7:30 P.M. or as soon thereafter as this matter can be reached, at the meeting room of the Municipal Building in said Township, at which time all persons interested shall be given an opportunity to be heard concerning this Ordinance.

ANN MARIE EDEN, R.M.C. TOWNSHIP CLERK

DATED: 01/27/03

Page 25 of 32

TOWNSHIP CLERK EDEN: She noted for the public’s information that on Thursday, January 30, 2003 at 2:00 PM at the Municipal Building they will be holding a public hearing regarding the availability of the Community Development Block Grant Funding. They are required to have two hearings on this.

DENISE GARNER, 14 EVERGREEN COURT: She began by saying that she had a question about the Governor’s State of State Address and what the Committeemen’s feelings are about what was presented and how it will effect Jackson Township? She asked if the State is coming to each community to get input regarding the Metedeconk Category I? She went on to say that on January 16th the MUA approved the water line for the Town Center and asked if they were aware of that? She explained that the Town Center is not a Democratic or Republican issue. This is a size factor, we all have to look at the whole picture and build the community properly not to have an issue in 20 or 30 years. She spoke about the Legislators telling everyone they will bring down the property taxes, but if we continue to build, it becomes a burden to everyone. State property tax and educational tax all comes back to the taxpayer. Committeeman Giblin explained that they have 60 days to respond to this Category 1 designation for the Metedeconk River and they are still formulating their response. He told her he was not aware of the State coming to each individual community. He went on to say that he doesn’t have copies of the MUA minutes and personally is not aware of that approval for the Town Center. The Town Center developer has not come before this Committee and ask for anything in relation to the project and until that happens he can’t comment except for the comments he already made that he will not approve 1,500 homes. Committeeman Grisanti stated that he personally spoke with their Township Planner, Mr. Ragan, last week and asked him to review the Governor’s proposal with the sprawl issue and the Category 1 issue and how it will effect Jackson Township. Committee Broderick explained that as a requirement on the planning stage of a development the developers have to come before the planning board with actual permits that have been issued. The decision by the MUA would have to be answered by their board. He said he has no idea why they approved that, but there has been no movement with the planning board or the Township Committee. There is a number of issues that the planning board still has with this project. If they want to run a water line out there he suggested she ask the MUA why they are allowing this to be done. He went on to talk about the Governors State of State Address regarding the sprawl issue related to the Sites Residential Act, which every planning and zoning board is governed by. The Governor is on target looking for funding on impact studies for schools and recreational purposes as they are in favor of. This town has created havoc by not planning for the schools and the amount of children. They are on board with the Governor on the planning side to try and stop building as fast as they can. In reality the Governor has a big issue to face in Trenton, because the attorneys for the builders association are not just going to sit back and let him do this. He spoke about the judge in the County that when the planning board rejects a project, he turns around and says let them build. In closing, he stated that the State Legislators should take the school property tax off the burden of property taxpayers.

LESLIE SAVAGE, 337 BARTLEY ROAD: She stated that she has called Town Hall to no avail requesting to discuss the question that should be put on the next general election ballot. She has over six hundred signatures petitioning Mayor Kafton and the Township Committee to stop all plans for the Township’s indoor swimming pool. She believes that the taxpayers should be able to vote on whether or not they want this pool by placing the question on the next general election ballot. She explained that she believes that this pool would be harmful to the tax dollars. As it stands now there are many unanswered questions regarding the construction and costs of this project. Questions that may cost the taxpayers millions of dollars that they cannot afford.

Page 26 of 32

Taxpayers may have to assume costs including, but not limited to insurance, construction, maintenance, operating expenses, etc. Fees for the use of this facility are expected to defray the cost to the taxpayers, which many cannot afford. Residents who don’t become members will still have to pay because the cost of construction and operating expenses will be built into their property taxes. The people who signed the petition whether they are for or against the pool feel that they should have a right to vote on this million dollar expenditure. Before this is put to a vote they should have full disclosure of total costs and sources of funding associated with this project. In closing, she told the Township Committee that there are many other pressing problems facing our community such as the population growth and overcrowding in our schools, road improvements and increases to our police force.

VICKY RICKABAUGH, 5 STANLEY PLACE: She began by saying that taxpayers are demanding a referendum on construction of an indoor swimming pool. They are demanding to know all the long and short term costs associated with this project. She asked since there are millions of taxpayers money at stake why Mayor Kafton is refusing to allow a referendum regarding this placed on the November ballot? It costs nothing to put a referendum on a general election ballot, but Mayor Kafton has told the public that it would cost 35,000 dollars. She spoke about the 600 signatures that have been obtained from concerned citizens. Leslie Savage has spearheaded a petition to have full disclosure of costs and to let the people decide. This project has been in the planning stages for years. She read from different quotes that the Township Committee have made regarding this project beginning in 2001. She then asked after 21/2 years of planning this project how much money has been spent and who paid these expenses? What funds have been raised if any and who are the investors? She then asked if it could be that there are no investors at this point and the pool will be fully funded by the residents of Jackson? She wondered what kind of financial trouble Jackson is facing with this project that virtually no other town out of 566 towns in the State would want to touch? She quoted Deputy Mayor Giblin who said that he read an article about a recreational facility in Brick with virtually no cost to the Township and the cost would be implored by a company whose name he did not remember, but has since gone out of business. She addressed Mr. Giblin and Mr. Kafton and said she finds it hard to believe that they can’t remember the name of this company that spoke to them about the Brick project. She told them that they could have asked the Jackson Township Attorney because his firm according to the Brick Township website also represents Brick Township. She went on to say that in the newspapers Mr. Kafton admits to owning a real estate company, investment company, and an appraisal company. Her next question was is anyone on the Township Committee, Township Attorney, their business associates, or family members have anything to do with the defunked Brick Town swimming pool sports facility deal? Or are any of these people involved in the proposed Jackson Township sports facility deal? She stated that this all sounds very suspicious. Will the taxpayers find out that one of the Township Committee Members or professionals have their hand in the cookie jar or is this a game of catch me if you can? Why can’t they get an answer on exactly how much this is going to cost? She stated that the taxpayers are demanding full disclosure of the costs involved. In closing, she told the Committee to let the people’s voice be heard.

GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He began by asking how much is this thing going to cost? He later added that they should really consider not adding the swimming pool and maybe expanding recreation by improving playgrounds etc., and taking some money and purchasing open space for Township parks. He stated that they could do so much more for so much less. Deputy Mayor Giblin responded that the plan that was presented by Mr. Ryley was a conceptual plan and no final decisions have been made yet, therefore, no cost factors could be ascertained at this time. The public has not yet told us what they would like to be put in the recreation center. Committeeman Grisanti explained that the money that has been spent to date with that property was basically assessing the land, which had to be done whether they put a recreational facility there or another facility. No money has been invested in any recreation facility at this point. This is totally conceptual in nature. To put a referendum out now, he wouldn’t even know what to ask the public. They have assigned this to the Recreation Commission to take as much public input as they can. They will be holding public hearings to see what the needs of the community

Page 27 of 32

are as far as recreational needs. He asked these people who have comments tonight to appear before the Recreation Commission and give their input to them. They will make the recommendation to the Township Committee, whether we should have a pool, not have a pool, and how it should be funded. People are making an issue when no issue really exists. Back in 1998 the prior administration paid about $6,000 for a feasibility study for a recreation facility. Their architect said the planning and design of the facility must be precise and calculated. Potential users should be sought out and encouraged to contribute to the design process. That is exactly what they have asked the Recreation Commission to do, to take input from potential users and come up with a design process. He went on to comment on the validity of the petition. He was told that someone signed that believing that it was in favor of a swimming pool. In closing, he asked why they are making this political issue about the swimming pool, at this point does that serve any ones purpose?

JILL MANION, 480 LEESVILLE ROAD: She began by asking if the approval of the water line would effect the Committees decision on approving the Town Center overlay? She asked why the capacity for the water line is for over 6,000 units? She went on to ask who appointed the current members to the MUA and how long their terms were? She then asked if the people on the MUA who approved this are from this Administration or the prior Administrations? She later asked if the Committee intends to comply with the State Plan and work actively with the State Planning office to bring our township plan in line with what the State is looking for? She clarified that she was speaking more about funding for open space. Committeeman Grisanti explained that the approval by the MUA is part of the original 1,640 approvals it was designed on the condition that they get approval to run city water out to that project. It has nothing to do with the Town Center project. The water line is good because we also would like to develop some commercial ratables. They always make the developer not only put in water for 1,640 but they want the additional benefit to have enough space if commercial developers look at that location along West Commodore. He later explained that the Township Committee appoints the members to the MUA for a 5 year term. The members are from both Administrations. Committeeman Broderick added that the developer is putting this in at his own expense and we may reap the benefits later on. It is not going to influence us one way or another in giving him an overlay. Deputy Mayor Giblin stated again that he will not support an overlay zone that contains 5,900 homes on the Town Center project. He later added that at the last meeting Mr. Reilly questioned the hiring of an individual, Andrew Strauss, for open space acquisition. Mr. Strauss will work closely with the State, Federal, Local and County officials to gain funding to preserve open space. He said I for one would work with whomever is necessary to slow down residential growth here in Jackson. Committeeman Reilly added that Ms. Manion already knows his stance on the Town Center. He later explained that he questioned Mr. Strauss being hired because he wasn't told what he did. Attorney Starkey explained that the State Plan is a legal document that has designated Jackson Township a growth area. His understanding is that Governor McGreevy is going to change that. He told Ms. Manion to be careful what she is asking for. Jackson Township has been sued by the NJ Shore Builders Association because they are trying to force this Committee to comply with the State Plan.

JOHN SUTTLES, 43 MEADOWOOD ROAD: He stated that he was at the last meeting and spoke about a problem he had with the MUA regarding a bill. He told the Committee that he did as they said and attended the January 16th MUA meeting. He explained that at the meeting the water main was approved for the Town Center for specifically 1,600 homes. Secondly his problem with the bill, he was told it had to do with a manpower shortage. He was receiving his bills almost 30 days late. He wasn’t aware he was late on bills that he never received because he wasn’t expecting any until he received a past due notice. He spoke about a hypothetical situation, if someone goes away for two weeks they could come home to a lien put on their house because of the billing process of the MUA. He told the Committee that they should look into the MUA billing process. He explained the seriousness of the situation receiving a bill and then 19 days later receiving a final demand notice that could result in the loss of his property.

MR. GUTTENTAG, 15 DEXTER LANE: He explained that in March of 2002 he was driving down Manhattan Street and took notice of the terrible condition of the street and the alignment job he was going to need after driving on it. He stated that he called the Public Works Department and spoke to who ever was in charge and was told that the road would be resurfaced in March of 2002. In July of 2002 the road was still not fixed and he then called the Township Administrator. He was told by him that there were two reasons the road was not being fixed, one being the school was getting a new gymnasium and they were concerned about construction trucks. The second reason was because a gas or water line had to be installed. He took notice on any given week there were 3 to 5 concrete trucks not having anything to do with the work using that road. He said he doesn't understand why they can't get Manhattan Street in decent condition for the people who live around there and use it the most. These people pay taxes and don't ask for much. He explained that he gives credit to someone who made some patches on the road, but basically most of those are gone. He said that he is really tired of getting the run around and would like to know when that road will be resurfaced? He later asked them to commit to a period of time. Committeeman Giblin explained that the plans have already been designed to have Manhattan Street done like he was told last year. When the Board of Education referendum was passed last year they knew that trucks will be going up and down that road and it wouldn't be the best time to do the road due to the heavy volume of trucks going to that school. Secondly, a water line was put into the Westlake property, the Mewes, and they already contacted the MUA who had the developer go out there and repatch. That road will be repaved, but we are still waiting for the completion of the gymnasium at the Holman school. The Public Works Director has asked this Township Committee to ban trucks from utilizing Manhattan Street. At the time the road is resurfaced the Township Committee will take that into consideration. He stated that this work should be completed by September of 2003. He really couldn't give a definitive timeframe because by the time they go out to bid, receive the bids back, and award the bids then they would start construction and all that takes time. He asked Mr. Gutteater to contact the MUA again and ask them about the one end where they tied into the water line.

VICKY RICKABAUGH, 5 STANLEY PLACE: She began by saying that asking for input from the people regarding the pool only came in the last couple of weeks. The swimming pool and recreation project has been in effect since 2001 and at no time did they ask for input back then. In 2002, November 7th, close to election, there was a quote saying that the Jackson Township Recreation Facility could be opened to the public as early as the end of 2003. She then said there is a conflict here saying that this will not cost the taxpayers anything and will totally be funded by private enterprise. The next minute you stated that it will cost the taxpayers money but we don’t know how much. She addressed Deputy Mayor Giblin and asked out of 566 towns how many have a municipal run pool? Deputy Mayor Giblin stated that he doesn’t have that information. This Township Committee has lowered taxes three years in a row and has continued to provide more recreational opportunities without raising taxes. He personally doesn’t care how many other towns have pools, he worries about the Jackson residents.

Committeeman Grisanti explained that this is exactly what they are asking the Recreation Commission to research. They needed a conceptual study, this is our dream, now we are going to see if it is feasible. He told Mrs. Rickabaugh that she is trying to turn this into a political issue. People should go before the Recreation Commission because they will be taking the input.

DENISE GARNER, 14 EVERGREEN COURT: (inaudible) She asked about the approval by the MUA for the water main? She said that they should know what these commissioners are doing because they appointed these people. Committeeman Broderick explained that after the 1,600 units were approved the developer also acquired 300 new acres that he can put homes on 3acre lots. The information regarding his extensions can be obtained from the planning office. He told her she would need to ask they MUA why they made that approval. They appointed some commissioners, but they can't tell them how to vote. He told her to speak to the two commissioners from the MUA that were

Page 29 of 32

present at the meeting. Deputy Mayor Giblin stated that they don’t have that information, but they will do anything they can to slow down residential growth.

GENEVA CLAYTON, 569 BURKE ROAD: (inaudible) (microphone turned off)

GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He began by saying what he was talking about before was expanding recreation and buying and preserving land. Putting money into the township trust fund for recreation itself. He stated that you could do so much for so many people. He listed some examples of how this money could be spent, instead of the swimming pool. He then told the Committee that they could pass a resolution tonight to limit the Town Center to 1,600 homes and not do an overlay zone. They could consider buying that property and make this nightmare go out the window. He later added that they need to start thinking long term. Deputy Mayor Giblin explained that they are looking at all options on buying buildable land throughout this town. They are looking into buying the Town Center property. They are working with a lot of large projects with Mr. Strauss trying to stop some of this building. Committeeman Grisanti stated that they couldn't comment on what lands they are targeting because of negotiations.

BOB RYLEY, 19 GARDENIA PLACE: He introduced himself as the Aide to the Mayor and Township Committee, but said he is speaking tonight as a private citizen. He spoke about the quote he made about the project being completed by 2003. That statement was made if the project was started the way it was conceived and all the approvals were done. He was trying to convey a timeframe of between 9 to 11 months. He went on to say that the most disgusting thing here tonight was this was never intended to be an intelligent discussion on the Recreation Center it was just a hatchet job. We mentioned Brick was trying to do something that was good. They had a reputable company that did these kind of projects. No member of this Committee or the Township Attorney ever had any interest in that company, Community Sports Partners. That is just spreading rumors to get one cheap headline in the papers. We never told any one the cost would be 12 million dollars, we said approximately 3 1/4 or 3 3/4 million dollars and that was the cost of everything. He went on to speak about a statement Mrs. Savage made about the land (inaudible). He stated that Vicky Rickabaugh’s administration did the same thing five years ago taking credit for preserving lots of land that were wetlands that couldn’t be built on. That is the way the system works, if you can preserve or save it, it’s a good thing. He spoke about the suggestion of buying all the acres to the Town Center. He said they should remember if you buy it the taxes will have to be paid and the residents will have to make up the shortfall. With respect to MUA, he was at the last meeting and said that he wasn’t quite happy with some things. He stated that the approval was given to this developer years ago and they have the right to build. In closing, he stated they should have an open discussion on this recreation center and not debate over lies and distortions.

VICKY RICKABAUGH, 5 STANLEY PLACE: She addressed Mr. Ryley and said that he was incorrect about the corporation’s name. Entersport is the correct name. The reason why she asked who was involved because she was confused because Mr. Giblin didn’t know who he talked to. She read from a press release from 2000 stating that the Jackson Township Attorney was on the Committee for the Recreation Center in Brick Town. If they couldn’t remember the name they should have just asked their attorney. She asked if they ever spoke to anyone in Brick Town about this? You are not telling us how much this project costs but saying it can be completed by 2003. Mr. Giblin clarified that he told the reporter that he did not recall the name of the company. He stated that he didn’t speak to anyone in Brick Town about this project. He spoke to his fellow Committeemen last year about this project. He went on to say that Mr. Starkey is our Township Attorney and what he does in Brick Town is his own business. He added that he doesn’t care how the newspaper miss quotes him. Mayor Broderick asked Mrs. Rickabaugh how much of her tax dollar did she spend so far. He told her that her taxes haven’t gone up they actually reduced them. Committeeman Grisanti said he was so

Page 30 of 32

surprised that a former mayor is relying upon newspaper articles for information instead of calling up the Administrator or the CFO and asking if any money has been allocated for this. She is content to rely on newspaper articles and that is shameful for a former mayor.

COMMITTEEMAN REILLY: He began by asking Mr. Starkey what has been done with this. Are there wetlands delineation, are their engineering reports or architectural renderings, what exactly has been done? What do we have conceptually? He stated that he would like to make a motion that when we do have a recommendation that comes from the Recreation Committee that we place it on the ballot for referendum. He said he just wants to open up the process. He later added that he suggested this because he doesn’t have the information he should have. Mr. Starkey stated that he would have to refer him to the Administrator. He is not a planner by trade. He thinks some work is done but it is in the conceptual stages. What you have identified tonight are things that need to be done. I think at the moment its open for discussion. Before you get to the stage your talking about such as applications, etc., you need to know where your going to go and what your going to do. He said his understanding is they haven’t gotten to the point yet such as engineering concepts. You wouldn’t get to that until you decide what is going to be put into the center. Committeeman Giblin stated what they have is the presentation that was made several weeks ago. He told Mr. Reilly that he was sitting in the audience and he didn’t say anything then. Committeeman Grisanti stated the money that was spent so far was for the engineering on the land. They would have done this whether they put a recreational center there or a municipal building. As far as the recreational center itself they haven’t engaged an architect. He asked if the Recreation Commission comes back with a recommendation that we should not put in a swimming pool, should we still put it out as a referendum? He then said that he can’t second a motion when he doesn’t even no if there will be a need for a referendum. He explained that he takes his position on the Township Committee very seriously and the voter puts their trust in the elected officials to make decisions that they think are the best on the public’s behalf. If we have a referendum every time we have to make a tough decision then we are not fulfilling our position as elected officials. He told Mr. Reilly to contact the Administrator or Bob Ryley and get the information he needs. Don’t come to every meeting and say you don’t have the information. Committeeman Broderick said it sounds like Mr. Reilly doesn’t want to answer the tough questions and just put everything on a ballot. We are opening the process by giving it out to the public by way of the Recreation Commission. He then asked Mr. Reilly if he was aware of the petition with over 600 signatures?

GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He questioned something that Mr. Ryley said regarding taking the slant off the table and then we wouldn't get the ratables. He explained that he has been involved in Municipal Government since the 1970s. Never forget this is why he advocates the National Land Trust Fund, you cannot have ratables without expense. You have Police, Fire, garbage pick-up, etc. The reason why we are running out of space to build is because we are running out of infrastructures to put it in. Preserving land not only makes sense but it makes dollars and cents. A question was asked of Josh Reilly whether he knew of the petition. My question to the other three of you is did you know about Mitch Leigh's plans before it went public?

GENEVA CLAYTON, 569 BURKE ROAD: She began by saying that she agrees with Bob Ryley, which is very difficult to say. She thinks there should be answers to questions, but she agrees that we can't put the cart before the horse. She explained that she is talking about the Town Center, which has been a campaign issue for many years. It was a wonderful idea until all of a sudden it is down to the wire. Now the pool issue, she thinks with 600 signatures they should take this very seriously. You are the voice of the people. I think the people are saying they want to know these things before you make a decision on them. If it takes a referendum what are they afraid of? You want what is best for the Town. In closing, she told them to remember they are the voice of the people and she thinks they may have forgotten that.

BOB RYLEY, 19 GARDENIA PLACE: He began by saying Mr. Black had misstated what he said. What he meant was the land is there today in pristine condition and we still get taxes and collect money on it. Even if we do nothing but take it off the tax role and put it in the name of Jackson Township we lose that income. The economic impact has to be considered too. Regarding the recreation center the two individuals he spoke to were from the company called Community Sports Partners. One was Mr. Katz who was a Republican Candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia. He is a respected businessman in the state of Pennsylvania. They had a good market and a good concept and it worked. Then along came September 11th. There was never a penny spent on that concept nor no money went to professionals. They gave us all those renderings for free. Everyone in this room knows of any resolutions that were adopted. We named an engineer and Mr. Santos knew about this because he stood up at a meeting and said the appointment was political. The architect is now the Township Planner and has never given any money to any political party. He suggested that they wait for the Recreation Commission to come back with a recommendation and then decide what to do. A lot of this has to do with attitude, coming in and being confrontational and suggesting that someone is stealing from the piggy bank. This should be a constructive debate on facts.

LISA FITZGERALD, 4 MT. OLIVE LANE: She began by saying that she wanted to make a point that she made a couple of months ago when she spoke at the public session. She had made up a proposal where the Township Committee publishes in the newspapers ideas that they have for upcoming projects, such as the pool and community center. Things that are going to potentially cost a lot of money and effect our tax structure. We want to spend money responsibly and not increase our tax expenses. We already live in the most expensive state in the United States. She for one is opposed to things that are going to increase our tax structure. If the Township Committee publishes this information in a newspaper, this would let people in the Township get involved and seriously look into these issues. They should propose suggestions to the public so the entire project from A to Z is up front and they wouldn't have this type of situation.

JILL MANION, 480 LEESVILLE ROAD: She just wanted to support Josh Reilly’s idea for a referendum. When there is something with so much potential money being spent, it is not about not being able to make the hard decisions. It is about giving the power to the people, which they feel they are lacking. She went on to talk about her disappointment with the MUA and the Town Center. She stated that this had to do with how our Township administrates their role to voluntarily administer the State Plan by knowing how much infrastructure is coming in, knowing the environmental impact, knowing how that is going to increase development. This is information the public is able to get. Then this government who wants to make the hard decisions should be able to get it too. So when we come to you and ask questions it is not attacking you. It is asking you to have the information in front of you. It is very upsetting that every time she comes to a meeting she sees these awful arguments between parties. In closing, she explained that she doesn’t care what parties you come from she just wants to see them all working together. She doesn’t want to get involved in the politics between Mr. Ryley and Mrs. Rickabaugh regarding the pool, which she has no opinion on. She does want them to start commenting on the Town Center, which she is concerned about.

ALLEN COTTRELL, 125 SUSAN DRIVE: He spoke about a letter from the January 17th edition of the Jackson Times. Deputy Mayor Giblin is quoted as saying fees for the use of the facility will help to defray the cost to investors in reference to the indoor recreation center and indoor pool. If you turn to the second page you see that the News Editor for Micromedia interviewed Deputy Mayor Giblin and paraphrased his comments. Leslie Savage who has never had any credibility took it upon herself to turn that into a quotation. If you read the entire article you would see that this pool and recreation center will cost the taxpayers next to nothing. Ms. Savage claims that she has over 600 signatures on a petition, therefore, the Committee must agree to her demands. He went on to say that he has over a million signatures saying that Leslie Savage is a fraud, cheat,

Page 32 of 32

thief and a liar and a menace to the public trust. No evidence has ever been offered to this Town that CASH has any members.

LESLIE SAVAGE, 337 BARTLEY ROAD: She began by saying that you have every right to come up here and speak, but you don't have the right to come up here and disparage other citizens. She said she went to the Police Department about this already. She told the Township Committee that they are here to control these people and they are not doing their job. Deputy Mayor Giblin stated that all the citizens have the right to make their comments.

VICKI RICKABAUGH, 5 STANLEY PLACE: She stated that she has a right to come up here and ask questions, but she gets yelled out by the Township Committee. She has been out of politics now for over four years. The bottom line is that at every Township Committee Meeting, Mr. Cottrell comes up and attacks people in the audience. She then commented on the article he spoke about and Leslie Savage being wrong. The article states that “Giblin said”. If you want to think that the 600 signatures is a fraud and shouldn’t be taken seriously, she challenged them to get an independent person to sit there and verify the 600 signatures.

GENEVA CLAYTON, 569 BURKE ROAD: She stated that she has many times been the subject of Mr. Cottrell's ridicule because of her party affiliation. The part that makes her feel bad is that many true people in Jackson are afraid to come up to this microphone and speak. Afraid they will be told to pack there bags and go home. She then addressed Mr. Cottrell and called him a fraud. This is why she feels sorry for the people in this town because they are afraid to come forward. She explained that she knows Mrs. Savage very little and she is not a political crony. She respects her for what she has done going out and getting those signatures. She also respects those ladies that are speaking about the Town Center. It is a disgrace to be called names by Mr. Cottrell.

GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He said that he has been in politics for many years, and he wishes that there were cameras here so that the people of Jackson Township could see what took place there tonight. He told them it was an outrage that there was a woman up there that was concerned and she was then attacked by one of their “political slackers”

WILLIAM WATNER JR., 17 W. CONNECTICUT CONCOURSE: He stated that every citizen that comes up here to speak should get the same respect as they gave to Mr. Ryley.
