COUNCIL COMMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL RESOLUTIONS

President Tobey: It's been moved and seconded. Actually, I'm going to ask Mr. Mania, would you like to take this and comment?

Mr. Mania: I'd like to read the Resolution if I could.

President Tobey: For the record, absolutely.

Mr. Mania: For the record…

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF MOUNT OLIVE COUNTY OF MORRIS STATE OF NEW JERSEY COMMEMORATING AND HONORING MARIE RUGGIERO FOR HER LIFETIME EFFORTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS

WHEREAS , Marie Ruggiero was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1926 and moved to Budd Lake with her family when she was just two years of age where she would remain a lifelong resident; and

WHEREAS , throughout her lifetime, Marie Ruggiero was a constant contributor to the Township through her selfless community service and her passion and commitment to the seniors of the Township; and

WHEREAS , Marie Ruggiero was the founder and head of the senior citizens group when they first began meeting in the Masonic Lodge in Budd Lake, was the former chairwoman of the Mount Olive Bicentennial, a member of the Association for the Beautification of the Beautiful Budd Lake committee, member of the Ladies' Auxiliary of Council 6100 of the Knights of Columbus, a dedicated parishioner of Saint Jude Church in Budd Lake, and the former Mount Olive historian; and

WHEREAS , through Marie's constant efforts and commitment to the seniors citizens of the community, she was able to spearhead a movement which ultimately resulted in the new Township Senior Center being built just behind the Township's Municipal Building in 1998; and

WHEREAS , Marie, a lifelong resident of the Township of Mount Olive, never lost her desire to help her fellow seniors and citizens of the Township and will always be remembered as a kind woman whose life consisted of contribution and service to her community and devotion to her family; and

WHEREAS , to honor the lifetime achievements and contributions of Marie Ruggiero, the Township desires to name the Senior Center meeting room the “Marie Ruggiero Room” so that Marie's legacy may continue to resonate throughout the community.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , by the Township Council of the Township of Mount Olive, County of Morris, State of New Jersey that it wishes to take this opportunity to honor and commemorate Marie Ruggiero for her selfless and kind hearted lifelong contributions to the Township of Mount Olive and especially to the seniors of the Township of Mount Olive with the naming of the Senior Center Meeting Room as the “Marie Ruggiero Room”.

President Tobey: Mr. Greenbaum?

Mr. Greenbaum: Yes, I think that we should frame that Resolution and ask the family to come in.

Mr. Mania: I already… yes, I'm going to do that.

Mr. Greenbaum: I think it's a shame because I think we should have actually named the entire building, although I understand Mayor, that your position is different. I think the Ruggiero family has done an incredible amount of good for this Township over the years and I think it would have been fitting, in this particular instance to have named the entire building for both Marie and Frank Ruggiero.

President Tobey: Thank you.

Mr. Roman: I concur.

President Tobey: Mrs. Labow?

Mrs. Labow: I just want to say and double check… I think the Ruggiero name is spelled wrong on this Resolution. I don't think its “IO” at the end; it's just “O.” Isn't it “IERO” John?

Mr. Mania: Yes, it is RUGGIERO.

Mrs. Labow: Yes I know but down further in it says, “IO” so I just want to make sure if we make a plaque or something, we spell it correctly because speaking with Frank and Marie many times… they told me that everybody puts “IO” at the end and its… so make sure we get it right when we put it up in the…

Mr. Mania: Thank you.

President Tobey: Yes, thank you Mrs. Labow.

Mrs. Labow: That's important, it really is.

Mr. Mania: Thank you.

President Tobey: Does anyone from the public have any comments: Seeing none, Roll Call please.

PUBLIC PORTION ON INDIVIDUAL RESOLUTIONS - None

ROLL CALL – Passed Unanimously

MOTIONS CONSENT

President Tobey: We are up to Motions. We have two listed this evening. Mr. Mania, would you please move Motions one and two as presented.

Mr. Mania: Thank you Mr. President. I move for approval of:

•  Approval of a Peddler's Permit for Mahmood Ramadan for Mobil Food Vending.

•  Bill List. PDF Bill List

President Tobey: Thank you, I'll second that. Does anyone from the public have any questions regarding the Bill List? Seeing none, any Council comments, Mr. Roman?

Mr. Roman: I have a question on Mr. Mahmood's peddler license. If I stand correct, this is Rainbow Caterers? Are they applying for this because they're trying to do something different? I believe I've seen them servicing in Town before this.

Mrs. Lashway: They have many drivers. They have different areas of Town and they come and go. It's the food trucks.

Mr. Roman: Right it's the food trucks. They did not require this before stopping in town?

Mrs. Lashway: No, they have to get their peddlers permit before they can start working in town.

Mrs. Labow: For each driver.

Mr. Roman: Right but what I'm saying is, I've seen them operating before.

Mrs. Lashway: There is other…

Mr. Roman: Like Rainbow Caterers… so there are other Rainbow Caterers?

Mrs. Lashway: They are employees of Rainbow Caterers working in town who have gotten peddlers permits.

Mrs. Labow: It's each driver. It's each driver, it's not the company itself, it's whoever is driving the truck and engaging with the residents.

Mr. Roman: I was not aware that there were multiple Rainbows.

Mr. Mania: You do now.

Mr. Sohl: Now you know.

President Tobey: Roll Call please.

ROLL CALL – Passed Unanimously

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS

President Tobey: We're up to Administrative Reports. Mayor, Mr. Sohl…

Mayor Scapicchio: Ah, yes… just two things. The Police Department has reported to us that the traffic at the schools and walking issues were nonexistent with the courtesy bussing and I guess additional students driving. The Police Department or my office has not received any complaints or concerns at all. Lastly, Doc's Marina has had some boats that have started to migrate over to the beach property. The Police Department visited them today and it's my understanding that boats and the trailers are gone.

Mr. Sohl: They were gone this afternoon.

Mayor Scapicchio: That's it.

President Tobey: Thank you.

Mr. Sohl: I would like to add one more comment; somebody may bring this up anyway.

President Tobey: Yes.

Mr. Sohl: You've heard about Marie Ruggiero obviously but Judy Hirky, a long time resident and participant and I'm not going to reiterate all the things she was involved with but another great loss.

OLD BUSINESS

President Tobey: Any Old Business, Mrs. Labow?

Mrs. Labow: I was going to bring this up under Correspondence but I figured I'd wait until Old Business. We received an e-mail communication from Phyllis Shelton regarding the sewering of Old Flanders. I know we have not touched on that subject for a while and they wanted to know if there was going to be any movement in that direction. We talked about it at length last year but nothing else has come up.

Mr. Sohl: It was discussed two weeks ago.

Mrs. Labow: I missed two weeks ago, so…

President Tobey: What was that Mr. Sohl?

Mr. Sohl: It was discussed two weeks ago.

Mrs. Labow: He said it was discussed two weeks ago.

President Tobey: Yes.

Mr. Roman: Yes, I think we touched on it.

Mrs. Labow: So what was the end result… we are going to…

Mr. Roman: No money.

Mr. Sohl: We have no money.

Mrs. Labow: No money…

Mr. Roman: Just like I tell my kids.

Mrs. Labow: Got no money. Did you pass this on to Mrs. Shelton?

Mr. Sohl: She was notified right away, I believe.

Mrs. Labow: Very good, I just wanted to make sure…

Mrs. Lashway: I sent her the Minutes from that discussion. It was about St. Elizabeths and then they asked about it.

Mrs. Labow: Thank you.

President Tobey: Any other Old Business? Any New Business?

NEW BUSINESS

Mr. Greenbaum: Dave, I'd like to revisit, not tonight but at some point, the issue whether or not there is a cost savings in terms of bringing Fleet Maintenance back in house, since we don't have a contract with Penske. I think that with the age of our equipment, the fact that we're now going out of contract with a lot of our vehicles, it may behoove us to take a look at that issue and to see whether or not… I understand that there is a move not to increase the size of our employee staff. Notwithstanding that to the extent that we are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to maintain our fleet that's not covered under the contract; it might be cost efficient to actually take a look at that issue. If you could ask Tim to address that, whether or not he believes that there would be a cost savings. I know that Alex has been involved in terms of taking a look at the Penske contract and I would again ask that Tim confer with Alex if that's okay since he has the most knowledge in terms of the actual equipment that would be required and the services that would be needed. Perhaps there is actually a cost savings through bringing it back in house.

Mayor Scapicchio: We'll do that. Right now we're out to bid. When all those bids come in and we evaluate them, we'll then revisit that for you.

Mr. Greenbaum: Thank you.

President Tobey: Mrs. Labow?

Mrs. Labow: Also on that same note that Rob was speaking about and I just thought that perhaps we could reach out to the Board of Education also and see what they… I know they do in house, their Fleet Maintenance in house and maybe there's something that we can have a joint venture that you know, we don't have to do the whole thing by ourselves and them by themselves. If we did something joint together, we might be able to save more money so I'd like to kind of entertain that.

Mayor Scapicchio: We looked at that and we determined that you know two different pieces of equipment, two different types of vehicles…

Mr. Sohl: The majority…

Mayor Scapicchio: It just wouldn't work.

President Tobey: My two cents on that… that is a comprehensive financial study that would require the feedback certainly of Mr. Roman and Mr. Quinn. I would defer to Sherry, our Auditor, whoever, any other parties. That's a financial study that needs to be undertaken.

Mr. Greenbaum: Clearly a financial study, I agree.

President Tobey: Mrs. Labow?

Mrs. Labow: I also have New Business. Going on with what Bill said about losing Judy Hirky and I would like to have for the next Council meeting a resolution also as we did for Marie and there will be a memorial service in a couple of weeks which Kathy Murphy will apprise all of us of. Judy had chosen not to have a funeral or viewing. She just wanted to be cremated so we'll have a memorial service instead. Judy had been involved in the Town for so many years and I've know her personally myself for 25 years between being a nurse at Sandshore School, working on the Environmental Committee, Open Space Committee, Library Board, the list goes on and on and I'd like to honor her in some way.

President Tobey: I think a Resolution would certainly be appropriate.

Mrs. Labow: Thank you.

President Tobey: Mr. Roman?

Mr. Roman: I should have touched on this in Old Business but I would like from Administration at least a timeline and a deadline as to when we will have this lack of voice transmission for airing the Council and Public Meetings. I think in previous discussions, we said “we're working on it, we're working on it” but there's never been delineated that line in the sand or at least the date on the calendar. At this time I would request a firm date by which we can at least have it resolved or at least get back to us whether it requires you know, some outside entity to come in and take care of it.

Mr. Sohl: Okay.

Mr. Roman: Is it possible that we could get a date at this time?

Mr. Sohl: I'm not going to give you a date right now. I have to speak to the school.

Mr. Roman: Okay.

President Tobey: Any other New Business? Any Legal Matters Mr. Dorsey?

LEGAL MATTERS – None

Mr. Dorsey: No.

President Tobey: Council Reports, does anyone on Council have any reports to offer? Mr. Roman?

COUNCIL REPORTS

Mr. Roman: I don't necessarily have a copy of the report but at the last Board of Ed meeting on the Agenda, I noted one item… the resignation of a payroll secretary in Administration. Seeing that Mrs. Ouimet is present, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind, if I could ask a couple questions regarding that.

Mrs. Ouimet: I don't know if I can answer but go ahead.

Mr. Roman: Mrs. Ouimet, has the Board of Ed switched over to an outside payroll service?

Mrs. Ouimet: Well we do… it's not exactly an outside payroll… we do have payroll clerks that do handle our payroll which is done through a service. It's not like a direct kind of… you know, I can get a better answer for you.

Mr. Roman: I apologize for grabbing you. You just happened to be sitting there and it's just something that after seeing the Agenda, it struck me as to whether the resignation of that payroll person was a move by the Board of Ed in order to go from payroll in house to…

Mrs. Ouimet: Not specifically, I mean I could get you the exact procedure that we do use and how we do payroll. I mean, I don't want to say anything now unless I know definitely for sure how we do it, what the procedure is.

Mr. Roman: Again, I apologize for catching you off guard here and I was going to touch on what Administration previously said about no issues at this time with the courtesy bussing. I can definitely concur after speaking to at least 25 people in various places around Town; nobody has accosted me regarding courtesy bussing.

Mr. Mania: That's a good thing.

Mr. Sohl: Nobody had what?

Mr. Mania: You're unscathed.

Mrs. Labow: Accosted him.

Mr. Mania: I see the President and Vice President of the seniors here this evening. I intend to have a plaque made for the Senior Center of Marie and Frank. I don't know when it will be ready but I will inform you and let you know and hopefully we can make the presentation at one of your senior meetings.

Nelsen Russell, Budd Lake: In regards to Ordinance 23-2010, patios are being defined and will require a building permit. Will existing patios be grandfathered?

Mayor Scapicchio: Already in place?

Mr. Sohl: They would have to be.

Mayor Scapicchio: They'd have to be. If there already in place…

Mr. Russell: I was just wondering…

Liz Ouimet, Budd Lake: Just two things, first I'd like to thank Mrs. Maniscalco's prompt attention to the request we had about the inventory list and we hope to do the same in kind back to you guys. Also to thank the Council and the Police Department because as I heard compliments here and there, about the couple first days of school, there were of course some issues that came up. Parents that didn't go in the right way that they we're supposed to. It was because of working together with the Police Department and you guys… I just wanted to say thank you for that, that's it.
