ALSO IN ATTENDANCE: BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR TERENCE WALL
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 Council has been advertised in the manner prescribed by law.
ANNOUNCEMENT: CLERK KISTY RE: JUNE COUNCIL MEETING DATES: The Council Meeting Dates for June, 2021 are June 15 and June 29, 2021, due to the Primary Election to be held with in-person voting on June 8, 2021. Polls will be open on June 8 from 6:00AM to 8:00PM.
COUNCILMAN BORRELLI- He was thrilled to see the front page of the Jackson Times showing the Eagle Scout Project on the Jackson Children’s Trail, which is adjacent to the Jackson Jungle playground. His grandkids call it the ‘wooden park’. It was an honor and a pleasure to meet the people behind the ideas for the trail - the enterprising young man and Eagle Scout, Matt McCall, and his family; Karen Walzer, the chairperson for the Jackson Pathfinders, as well as other Pathfinders, Eagle Scouts and volunteers. I am thankful for their vision and hard work on the Jackson Children’s Trail for kids and also adults to enjoy for years to come.
Thanked Council President Kern as well as his colleagues on the Township Council for their supporting efforts. He encourages our fellow residents to visit and walk the trail, which includes informational signs of different animals such as whitetail deer, and a couple of benches are also located around the trail. There is a cool entrance sign to the trail as well; Matt McCall and others were responsible for putting up that sign. A native New Jersey bush, the Mountain Laurel, was also planted and several different painted birdhouses were placed around the trail. His five-year-old granddaughter Ellie helped with the placement with the help of the Jackson Pathfinder volunteers. I think it’s a great example of what community is all about - caring volunteers giving their time to help out in their town, coming together to work on enhancing a natural beautiful resource that we have in Jackson, which is a rural and woodsy environment.
The summer-like weather is here and he encourages our fellow residents to get out and enjoy our town’s many parks, playgrounds and recreational areas like the Jackson Children’s Trail and the Jackson Jungle playground, which is across from the trail at 2 Jackson Drive. In our town in the Justice Complex near the Police Station and the Ocean County Library; the Jackson playground in our town was named recently one of the best playgrounds in our town in all of New Jersey according to njmom.com. It is nice to have that distinction for our town and throughout the State.
COUNCILMAN CHISHOLM- Wanted to remind everyone that we’re all excited for summer and Memorial Day weekend, its unofficial start. This year will be different - there will be an extra large number of people down at the Jersey Shore. If you think that traffic is normally bad, just remember that people have forgotten how to drive since Covid so please be extra careful on the roadways. We want to make sure everybody has a fun time down at the Jersey Shore, but we want to make sure that everybody is safe.
Memorial Day is for picnics, fun and the time with our family and friends, but we don’t often think about the real reason we celebrate Memorial Day. If you have the opportunity to take your kids out there to get to a parade somewhere, possibly visit a cemetery and explain to them what Memorial Day is all about and while it’s great, we should recognize our Veterans that are still out there and those that have served. This holiday is actually to
Jackson Township Council Meeting of May 25, 2021

remember those who gave their lives in honor of our country. We just want to remember them and just recognize that fact. If you have the opportunity, please teach your kids the real meaning behind why we celebrate this weekend. Have a great and safe Memorial Day.
COUNCILMAN SAUICKIE- Highlighted two resolutions that are on the agenda tonight - 192R-21 is a resolution encouraging a rejection of New Jersey Natural Gas petitioning the 25% customer rate increase. We’re coming out of a pandemic and I think people had a rough 18 months and it’s probably not the right time to increase any more expenses above what’s already been increased in the last 12 months, including tolls in the State and with the gas prices up about a dollar in the last four months. He doesn’t think that residents need another increase in anything.
Also, 197R-21. Activity related to Rova Farms has slowed somewhat due to the pandemic, but he's glad to see this resolution as one of many so that Rova Farms can become what we expect it will be. For those that don't know, the town bought that property back in 2019. Last year, we put a ballot question on to not only increase the open space fund, which overwhelmingly passed but within that change also allowed for some of that funding to be used for improvements of those types of properties. It's something that the town could be proud of going forward. He is glad see that we are getting back on track as we move forward; thanked Administration for that.
COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT FLEMMING- I will echo what Councilman Borrelli said about the Jackson Jungle. He didn't know how many people are left to remember that was completely done with volunteers and donations and not a cent of any Township money went into that park. He said the fact that it is known as one of the best in the State says something about what volunteerism can actually do, that is fantastic.
Everybody notices the haze of smoke that's out there; the State Forest Fire Rangers are doing many controlled burns and that is where it is coming from. Fire districts are also doing controlled burns; please go on their website and find out what you can and can't do especially through the Memorial Day weekend; last he read there are no fireworks.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT KERN- For the Primary Election; please go out and vote on June 8th and use your right to vote in person. That was taken away last year, but now you can go out and select your candidate for Governor to represent your party. You can also chose a party there; if you are an Independent, you can select a party and vote for that candidate.
Memorial Day is the holiday that represents the soldiers that gave all for this Country and please remember them and keep them and their families in your prayers. Remember that's what the holiday is about the people who fought and gave everything so that we can have a meeting like this tonight.
Thanked Eagle Scout Project by Matt McCall over at the complex; that trail is specifically designed for children. Signs are at a specific heights and everything is set up so you are able to navigate and interact with it. As we just learned, that is one of the best playgrounds in New Jersey.
Thanked Administration for improvements that are happening around the town, noting the improvements at the Police station and the town’s properties are looking much nicer.

COUNCIL DISCUSSION- RESOLUTIONS ONLY
Council President Kern – To echo Councilman Sauickie comments about New Jersey Natural Gas petition for 25 % customer rate increase. To the Board of Public Utilities although New Jersey Natural Gas has ran efficiently and at a low cost for many years; there is no justification 25 % rate increase for all the customers that are currently New Jersey Natural Gas customers. This 25 % is for future improvements that is not going to help the existing customers and I don’t believe that is the right way to finance new projects.
Councilman Borrelli- I want to echo my fellow Councilman comments regarding Resolution 192R-21, I think it comes at the worst time when many people are trying to get up and running from this year-long plus pandemic. It would adversely affect particularly many seniors and we have many senior communities in our town. Many seniors who live on fixed incomes who it will drastically affect. So hopefully many other
