(Bid Opening 8/1/18 @ 10:00am)
Mayor’s Report – Attended the Grand Opening of the Meridian Hospital urgent care facility which will be open 7 days a week. Two of the doctors are Township residents. Will save on First Aid calls.
Administrator’s Report – No Report, will have full report at the Regular Meeting.
Engineer’s Report – Reported that Resolution R-8-2018-222 was on by title only because the bid
opening for the Daniel Ryan Concession Stand & ADA Restroom Improvements was not going to be held
until August 1stat 10:00am.
Council’s Reports:
Councilman Dipierro–
- Thanked the Mayor, Council and employees for their support during the death of his father-in-law. It meant a lot to have everyone there and support his family.
- In regards to the soil moving ordinance that was discussed at a past meeting, he hopes it can be reviewed and updated as it is 18 years old and needs to be updated.
- Spotswood-Englishtown Road, he stated that he hopes to see construction cleaned up soon with school opening soon.
Council Vice-President Schneider –
- Also attended the Grand Opening of Hackensack Meridian Health Urgent Care facility; very impressive and they are certified.
Councilwoman Cohen –
- Stated that Hackensack Meridian Health Urgent Care new facility is only for urgent care needs not primary care. They will have a list of primary care providers to give to those people interested. Their goal is to not only provide urgent care but continuity in primary care as well.
Councilman Baskin –
- Attended Hackensack Meridian Health Urgent CareGrand Opening as well, but felt a little out of place in his summer attire as everyone was in a suit and tie. Enjoyed seeing the facility as it is very modern.
Council President Dalina –No Report.
PUBLIC:
Prakash Parab, 33 Dayna Dr.– Mr. Parab stated that the Township has purchased land for the
middle school on Applegarth Road and asked if the fair pricing has been settled; Council President
Dalina answered that we are still waiting on the appraisal.
In regards to the Training School for Boys, some of the buildings should be preserved as historical and
asked what are the plans; Council President Dalina answered that any type of action is still quite some time
away and when the timing is correct the Task Force that the Mayor put together will put Monroe’s needs
first and foremost. Administrator Weinberg added that when the Juvenile Justice Commission came forward
4-5 months ago, they did state that it would be quite some time before they deed the property. They have
still not finalized the new location for the new facility as they are not even close to moving out of that
facility yet. There are still about 125 residents presently there. Mr. Parab thanked him for the information.
Michelle Arminio, 9 Nathaniel St. – Mrs. Arminio asked if O-7-2018-025 is a part of the Police
Department; Council President Dalina answered that there is a state law that came out that stated that
The position of Humane Officer must be held by someone who can carry; Mrs. Arminio asked if they will
get special training; Administrator Weinberg answered that R-8-2018-219 names the officer who will
receive special training to be the humane officer.
In regards to R-8-2018-200, releasing the funds to Roclene Manor, Mrs. Arminio stated that it should be
held until someone comes out to look at that facility as it looks rundown and the people residing there do
not look like they are well cared for.
Asked for clarification on R-8-2018-203; Engineer Rasimowicz answered that this is a property on Route
33 near the intersection by Butcher Road at the jug handle. Administrator Weinberg answered that the
NJDOT was going to sell the property as a surplus and it was offered to the Township for $1. We thought
it was prudent to acquire it so if improvements were needed to the jug handle we would have the land. It is
2.2 acres. Mrs. Arminio asked if we could get the developer to pay for any needed improvements on the
road; Mayor Tamburro clarified.
Regarding R-8-2018-214, Mrs. Arminio asked how much we have spent on tax appeals to date;
Administrator Weinberg answered that we previously authorized $100,000 and are now authorizing an
additional $50,000. In past years we have spent $335,000 so we are spending less.
Thomas Bartley, 559 Spotswood-Englishtown Rd. – Mr. Bartley stated that the water drainage that
came off of Toll Brothers hill during the May 26thrainstorm has caused actual white caps on the road. He
added that it is becoming dangerous with all of the construction going on as the water is so deep that even
having a big truck makes it hard to go through. He is concerned with what the Greek is bringing in
and disposing of on his property. Mr. Bartley presented pictures to the Council to show them. Council
President Dalina stated that someone will check it out.
