He goes on to introduce Donald Moore. DONALD MOORE, RICHARD STOCKTON COLLEGE OF NJ asked the audience how many people read the Jackson Times. He then stated that he was here because he did read the Jackson Times and reads about Jackson Township's plan to utilize PPA's. He is a Jackson Township resident and felt from his experience in this field he may be able to be of some assistance to the Township. He goes on to give a presentation regarding how this was done at Stockton College. He explained the costs involved and how the savings is generated; they had about a 40 percent savings. He goes on to explain that the overall percentage of electric that's supplied they don't have to buy from the electric utility. One of the most important facets of the PPA is that we don't own the equipment we only own the ground. This is a long-term agreement with an energy supplier who agreed to supply us for a certain period of time at a certain rate. We didn't have to come up with any money as an institution to generate a lower electric cost electric bill. He stated now they are within the two percent of the PPA, which is locked in for ten years, and today they can buy electricity for the same rate which shows a very sound investment. He stated they are locked into a 15-year deal with a fixed acceleration rate and at the end of 15-years they have the options to either buy the equipment or they can remove it which will cost them money. He asked Mike Wayka to explain what SRECs are and how they work. MIKE WAYKA – BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES goes on to discuss the solar market in the US and that New Jersey is the second largest market in the US. He discussed the requirements by the BPU. He discussed SREC and the advantage to doing a PPA for the tax break which is paid for by the Federal Government. He asked if we are getting a grant. Administrator Del Turco responded, yes. Mr. Wayka explained the benefit of entering into a PPA agreement and the guarantee to make money as opposed to entering into an agreement without one. This allows the Township to enter into an energy agreement. We don’t guarantee the SREC but they have an internal rate of return of about 12 percent. He stated that most States will pay up front and we’ve shifted to paying for performance over a ten-year period of time. You could do a bond referendum; however, at the Federal level there’s a tax credit and by leasing the owner could take advantage of that. Municipalities across the State have done it both ways. By lease purchasing the system the owner can take advantage of the 30 percent tax credit. Mr. Moore explained how their contract was extended from 10 to 15 years. Council President Kafton asked what is the life span of the solar panel. Mr. Moore responded 25 to 30 years. He goes on to say that what worked well for them is that the State of New Jersey owns their property, so they had to go to them he goes on to explain that the Township can do the same thing and lease the property to the power supplier to put their equipment at schools, parking lots and there are various locations that can be utilized. The Pine Lands Commission is interested in this but without the destruction of trees to enable this to happen they would use adjacent to the source of generating the energy where it’s needed. He goes on to say that no capital came from Stockton for the solar project, but he believes at the time of their project there were incentives and rebates. Council President Kafton asked what the savings amounted to. Mr. Moore stated about 40 percent and over the next couple of years we expect more savings. The other component is the efficiency of the buildings. Council Vice President Rivere asked if we received any grants that would enable us to do an energy audit. Administrator Del Turco goes on to ===== PAGE 3 ===== explain some of the things they’re working on and that he will be speaking with Mr. Wayka about this. Council President Kafton asked if they could please give us more information on this for individual homeowners and how they can take advantage of any rebates for solar panels. PEGGI STURMFELS stated that at Liberty High School at 7:30 p.m., on Wednesday the 21st there is a free informational seminar sponsored by the Going Green Committee. COUNCIL PRESIDENT KAFTON asked Mr. Moore what the percentage of savings is that they’ve seen so far. Mr. Moore replied we have seen a 40 percent savings and no cost to the taxpayers. The other component is the efficiency of the buildings you put it on if you have a demand side management combined with solar, which is what we’re going for, it would be a significant benefit to the taxpayers. The art is in the deal. Council Vice President Rivere asked if we received a grant to do an energy audit. Administrator Del Turco goes on to say that we are the recipients of the stimulus program and we’re also looking into LED street lights and have joined some energy consortions. Council Vice President Rivere stated that she’d like to see the Township undergo an energy audit and see what would be most beneficial to us. MURRAY BLAZE asked if in a couple of years the solar panels become much more efficient how would we then take advantage of the new technologies. efficient how would we then take advantage of the new technologies. Mr. Moore stated that that’s not part of their deal to replace the equipment with new technology unless they’re not producing the capacity they have an obligation to produce. He goes on to say this wouldn’t cost the Township anything to put this out there and see who responds. No capital came from Stockton for this. We did receive some rebates or incentives initially. Mr. Wayka stated they no longer offer rebates there are other financing incentives now. He stated that that’s their ultimate goal to be able to offer these programs without incentives. You would bid into JCP&L’s solicitation and if you’re a low bidder you’ll get a guarantee GARY BLACK stated that there have been a lot of problems with the rebate programs. Mr. Moore stated he has nothing to do with that all he knows is that this saves Stockton money. BARBARA SPIELMAN asked when this project was done at Stockton and if there is a parking fee imposed by the college. She also asked for an idea what they’ve saved since the inception of this project. Mr. Moore stated there is no parking fee and that they have had a savings of about 40 percent. Ms. Spielman asked if they had to purchase the electricity from New Jersey. Mr. Moore replied that they did not. MR. FIERO thanked them for presenting this to the Town. He asked if the 40 percent savings is on the whole entire percent of electricity. Mr. Moore replied no it's not it's on the 9.2 percent that's being used as solar. SHARI WILLIAMS asked if the panels are maintained through the company they were purchased from. Mr. Moore replied yes. Ms. Williams asked if a solar panel fell on her car who's liable. Mr. Moore stated that he'd turn to the people who supplied them because they installed them. Council Vice President Rivere stated they could sue anyone. Ms. William stated she believes that that should be a consideration in contracting. PAUL MAYEROWITZ asked what the soft costs are for engineering, inside legal, and outside legal for a project like this. Mr. Moore stated that they are a State run facility and their costs are internal to the organization. He stated they have in-house legal counsel so we use them to negotiate the deal and management of the project is done by himself and his staff. Mr. Mayerowitz asked how many man-hours were involved in negotiating the deal. He stated he doesn't know how many hours, but over a period of six months they negotiated the deal and finalized it. Mr. Mayerowitz asked how much the engineer charged per hour for this and Mr. Moore replied he didn't know. KATHY GIANCOLO she asked Council to provide information as they receive it so that she could research this just like they do. She would like to keep up with the information as Council receives it and give her input as well. ===== PAGE 4 ===== SCOTT SARGENT asked Mr. Moore if they had an estimated engineering cost on this. Mr. Moore replied that it depends on how many acres we plan on doing. He stated that the schools present a significant opportunity to generate maximum capacity because there are a lot of buildings and a lot of parking lots which present the opportunity to gain more energy which would be very beneficial. GARRY LEWIS stated that you mentioned a savings of 40 percent but couldn't say 40 percent of what. Mr. Moore goes on to say it's slightly over two million dollars they pay for electricity; however, he doesn't commit these numbers to memory. He stated 19 percent is solar and of that 19 percent we saved 40 percent of the overall cost of electricity in the first year. COUNCIL PRESIDENT KAFTON thanked everyone for their presentations and the School Board members for attending. ## COMMENTS BY THE TOWNSHIP COUNCIL MEMBERS: COUNCILMAN BRESSI thanked everyone for coming and the Jackson First Aid Squad and Quality Medical for the terrific job they have done over the past two years. COUNCILMAN MARTIN he also thanked Jackson First Aid Squad and Quality Medical for the fantastic work they do. He also thanked The Going Green Committee for the terrific presentation this evening. COUNCILWOMAN UPDEGRAVE goes on to thank everyone for their presentations and thanked the Emergency Services personnel for the great work they do. She mentioned EMS had a meeting and the coin toss came up again which the attorney's office is looking into. She also mentioned that funding is down significantly due to the economy. Secondly, she is glad to see there is a proposal for a Resolution for multi-year contracts which she believes leads to a cost savings overall. She stated that she noticed that there are members from AFSCME here tonight and she thanked them for forwarding their suggestions to save the Township money and hopes a representative will come forward this evening from AFSCME to discuss this. Councilwoman Updegrave also stated that she would volunteer one day a month of her pay toward the Township's debt. COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT RIVERE stated that we’ll be discussing recycling and that she has researched maybe cutting back to two times a month rather than once a week and the savings was about two million dollars. She would like Council to consider taking bids for the contract maybe two ways. She mentioned that she went to a Safe Roads Committee meeting last night and she’s very happy to be part of that committee to make roads safer. COUNCIL PRESIDENT KAFTON thanked the volunteers that received recognition tonight for making Jackson a better place and he stated that he is very happy to give them recognition tonight. ## BILLS AND CLAIMS

Said license shall be for the year ending on the 30th day of June and shall be in ===== PAGE 15 ===== addition to any other fee or charges established by proper authorities and applicable to said holder for the vehicle or vehicles under his or her operation and control. ### § 97-4.

No person shall operate a taxicab for hire upon the streets of the municipality, and no person, firm or corporation who owns or controls a taxicab shall permit it to be driven, and no taxicab licensed by the municipality shall be so driven at any time for hire, unless the driver of said taxicab shall have first obtained and shall have then in force a taxicab driver’s permit under the provisions of this article.

Formerly known as Lots 16 and 23, Block 121.07, now known as Lots 22 and 23, Block 6502 on the Township of Jackson Tax Map. DATED: 4/13/10 ANN MARIE EDEN, RMC TOWNSHIP CLERK ## PUBLIC HEARING OPENED, RESOLUTIONS ONLY PAUL MAYEROWITZ – 91 CYPRESS POINTE LANE mentioned 159R-10 and asked why this is only a six-month contract. Attorney Gilmore goes on to explain that they can only award this type of contract for as long as the Mayor’s present term. Also regarding 168R-10 why do we need to buy 16 stalker radar units? Administrator Del Turco responded that their current technology is from 1970 technology and we’re trying to standardize them. He goes on to describe the capabilities of the new radar. Mr. Mayerowitz stated that he did not believe the Citizens Budgetary Advisory Board was in support of this and he also stated that we’re operating under an emergency budget how can we afford this. Administrator Del Turco stated that this is being funded from a ===== PAGE 26 ===== previously financed Bond Ordinance 19-09 and there is also a JAG Grant. Mr. Mayerowitz stated that his comments still stand. SEAN GIBLIN – 515 SO. COOKSBRIDGE ROAD asked Mr. Del Turco if it would have been easier to just respond that this was already a Bond Ordinance from 2009. He stated that in his leadership he sometimes misleads Council and the Public and believes he should have all the information and not just answer off the cuff. Administrator Del Turco stated that he will have someone here to talk about this at the next meeting. Mr. Giblin asked if these will be in the patrol cars and not in the detective’s cars which they are allowed to take home and use if there’s an emergency. They have no need for the radar. Administrator Del Turco stated that he will ask the Chief to answer that question, so he doesn’t mislead anyone. Mr. Giblin asked Mr. Gilmore about the recycling contract and when you go out to bid are you bound by the bid if, for instance, Council says no I’m not doing it, can they do that? Mr. Gilmore stated it depends on the notice to bidders and that you cannot reject a bid just because someone doesn’t like it. If the bid is within the engineer’s estimate you have to have good cause not to accept the bid unless it exceeds the estimate. Mr. Gilmore stated that you can put that in the notice to bidders. Mr. Giblin asked Administrator Del Turco to ask the Mayor to put some of these suggestions into the bid. He also stated that all the garbage can be commingled now and public works just has to bring it to the County, it is not like it was four years ago. He goes on to say this is a lot on money, lets’s do it right. Administrator Del Turco stated that he received a call today that Ocean County is going to single stream and there will be a few things that are beneficial to the Township and there will be revenue sharing as well. ## SCOTT SARGENT – VICE PRESIDENT OF THE TWA - 19 KNOLLS DRIVE wanted to remind Council that there are things at Public Works that need to be addressed desperately. There are valve stems that cost $3.00 that we cannot get replaced. We have a loader at the compost site that we have to send someone out every day to fill the tire with air. There are parts that we cannot get for trucks to fix potholes. We have a hot box that sat all winter because we cannot get parts, so we have no hot mix and we are using cold press to fix potholes and that is being shoveled out of a pickup truck. He stated that you’ve asked the TWA how to save money and we made many suggestions as to what we could do at the compost site or the transfer station and two years, and a quarter of a million dollars in payroll later, we still have not adjusted the hours at the compost site and at the transfer station. He believes that it’s a problem when they cannot get a three-dollar part to fix equipment, but we are buying new radar. PAUL MAYEROWITZ – 91 CYPRESS POINTE LANE asked Attorney Gilmore about Mr. Giblin’s questions regarding acceptance or rejection of a bid. He wants to know if we receive one or two bids can we reject and readvertise? Attorney Gilmore stated the general rule is if a bid comes in under the engineer’s estimate and the Town has the money in its budget you cannot reject it because you only receive one or two bids. Mr. Mayerowitz asked if we have to put a dollar amount in the recycling contract how do we protect ourselves to ensure we get appropriate bids. Attorney Gilmore stated that you can put wording in that the Township has the right to reject any and all bids based upon its analysis of whether it’s economically feasible or have its Public Works Department pick up the recyclables. GARRY BLACK – LEWIS LANE is hoping that he heard wrong before when Mr. Giblin was speaking about how much money we can get back on tickets with the radar. Attorney Gilmore stated that utilization of the radar does enhance public safety. Council Vice President Rivere stated that she’d like to hear a police explanation of this or at least put it on hold. JOHN GASKILL – 25 NO. LAKESIDE stated that he believes that the clause Attorney Gilmore just spoke of should be in every bid.

Council President Kafton asked Attorney Gilmore if a resident put in an OPRA request how long the Township would have to respond. Attorney Gilmore replied that if it's not a readily available report you're not required to provide it they are entitled to ready available information. There is no requirement to provide information that is not readily available. Administrator Del Turco stated that they have been working on putting together all of the information and that it is a very time consuming job; however, he stated that Council President Kafton is more than welcome to review any of the information they have.

Administrator Del Turco stated that he could provide the overall cost of each storm which is very time consuming. He also stated that Council President Kafton may look at the records at any time he wishes the doors are always open.

He stated that putting in 100 hours to generate the information for FEMA will pay for itself. He stated the cost is what it is. Council President Kafton stated this is a process that happens every year. It has been broken down every year and the taxpayers have a right to this information and he'd like to know what it costs per mile to remove the snow. Administrator Del Turco stated it's a tremendous undertaking to prepare a breakdown of all the information requested and it's a collaboration between Public Works and Finance and Administrator Del Turco stated that he will have the staff discontinue it's normal functions to prepare this information if that's what you want. Attorney Gilmore stated that Administrator Del Turco cannot order that, only the Mayor can. Councilman Martin asked if we can get the gas and salt usage. Administrator Del Turco stated that we use a FEMA schedule for vehicle usage. Council Vice President Rivere asked what we can get. Attorney Gilmore stated that Council is making a request and he stated they have an affirmative action requirement to provide it.

Administrator Del Turco stated we have to follow State mandate on this. He goes on to explain why we maintain separate time and truck data.
