Thus this meeting tonight is deemed in compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act.
There was a moment of silence and salute to the flag.
Mayor Reynolds opens the floor to Mr. Jerry Sorgento of New Age Solar, LLC for a presentation on solar power.
Mr. Sorgento begins, there is a rebate in New Jersey, where anyone who installs solar energy will get 70% of the cost of installation returned within a couple of weeks upon completion of the installation. There are tremendous tax incentives for any business to switch to solar energy. The reasons for solar energy are obvious. First we cut down on the demand for foreign oil, cut down on pollution and it saves a lot of money. We are also reducing the strain on our utility systems. We are trying to make New Jersey the solar state and set the standard for the country.
Mayor Reynolds thanks Mr. Sorgento for coming.
There being no corrections, deletions, or additions, a motion to approve the Minutes of May 12, 2004 was offered by C/D’Agostino, seconded by C/Simon. Passed on the following roll call:

Also, we received a copy of the water compliance and enforcement element report from the State of New Jersey. It shows that we are in compliance with everything. I will pass it along to Jim Mastrokalos, Water Superintendent.
C/Simon states dog and cat licensing starts the end of June. Anyone with pets should come to Borough Hall to license them. The fee is $7.00 for a neutered/spayed animal and $10.00 for a non-neutered/spayed animal.
Julie Martin, Municipal Clerk states I received a letter from Community Development regarding the Sanford Park bathrooms. The Freeholders did agree at there last meeting on June 10th to grant us an additional $18,394.16. We had asked for an additional $25,000.00. This brings the total grant to a little under $80,000.00. We have received 2 bids. The lowest bid came in at $75,000.00. Including additional fees for engineering we may be a little short.
