Mayor Reynolds called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M.
Roll Call: Present: C/Soden, C/Rucker, C/Palmieri, C/Carr
Absent: C/Gallagher, C/Simon
Also present were Julie Martin, Municipal Clerk and Lynn Tillman, Deputy Municipal Clerk.
Mayor Reynolds stated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 10 4-6 notification of this meeting has been (1) Published in the Asbury Park Press and Home News and the News Transcript the Official Newspapers of the Borough, (2) Posted to the Public at Borough Hall, (3) Copy has been filed with the Municipal Clerk, (4) Copy of this agenda and the Sunshine Statement has been filed with the Mayor and Council. 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.
C/Rucker states nothing at this time.
C/Palmieri states on Saturday, October 1st we had our Autumn in Englishtown Family Festival, which was a tremendous success. Special thanks to Christine Robbins, Liz Canario, Anne Marie Lutz, Leona Sperling, Cindy Robilotti, Chanin Robilotti, Pat Kirkland and myself for making this all happen. Also thank you to Julie Martin for coming out to help that day, Harry Soden for all his input along the way, Chief Niziolek and all the police officers that helped us that day and the Englishtown Fire Dept and First Aid Squad for their help and participation. Our next event will be the Halloween party, which will be held on October 30th at the Englishtown Fire House from 6 – 8 p.m.
C/Soden states I just wanted to mention that Gina Frangipane, Water/Sewer Clerk has done a fantastic job for this town and everything is collected up to date.
C/Carr states in C/Simon’s absence, I have two police activity reports. Total activity for the September 28th report there were 384 calls, 126 motor vehicle stops, and 209 routine service calls. Total activity for the October 12th report there were 473 calls, 136 motor vehicle stops and 290 routine service calls. We did meet with the police last night and started negotiations on their contracts. I think it was a good start. We will review it with council and get back to them the Tuesday after the next meeting. A part of the police report was last Wednesday morning at 4:15 a.m., Hair Systems caught fire again and I actually had a physical sickness as a toxic reaction to the fire because all of Englishtown was covered in smoke. Hair Systems will be coming before the planning board because they are looking to expand into Pop Pop Dugan’s, 1st and 2nd floor and 30,000 square feet off the back into Manalapan, and I am asking Council that we have a discussion tonight regarding this and not allowing them to do that until they get the operation they have now under control. There have been 17 fires there in the last two years. The Health Dept has told them that they need climate control in the area that caught on fire because there are oxidizers there that explode when they get too much moisture in them and they still have not done what the Health Dept has asked them to do. Our firemen have been exposed to toxic fumes 17 times in the last two years and we don’t know what the long-term affects are. Also, I have been reading the newspaper about Miracles Law in Manalapan, which is where they have determined radiuses around schools, etc for pedophiles. I think we should consider writing our own ordinance regarding this. Last I wanted to know if there has been any discussion with Manalapan since we voted on the resolution?
Mayor Reynolds responds no.
Correspondence
Julie Martin, Municipal Clerk states as C/Carr stated Councilman Simon is out this evening and also C/Gallagher sends her apologies that she wasn’t able to make tonight’s meeting also. On October 5th we received correspondence from the State of New Jersey Department of Transportation from the commissioner on behalf of the acting governor Richard Cody, that our community has been selected to receive funding from the N.J. Dept. of Transportation fiscal year 2006 municipal aid program for Hamilton Street and Irving Place in the amount of $150,000.00 for curbs and sidewalks. Also correspondence was received on October 11th from a Weamaconk Drive residence addressed to Mayor Reynolds regarding TV Choices in N.J. He is writing to request that we contact our State Representative in Trenton and ask them for their support in updating N.J. cable television laws. With Mayor and Council’s permission I would like to pass this on to C/Simon because I know last year he contacted other cable providers and they would not service Englishtown. There was another correspondence received from Michael Ross, Borough Tax Assessor regarding the revaluation audit, that the first step is to update our tax maps and submit them to the local property branch in the State of N.J. This process could take several months to complete so he strongly urges the governing body to authorize Tom Herits, Borough Engineer to begin this portion of the revaluation process as soon as possible. I did speak with Tom Herits today and he said our tax maps were last revised in August 2004. Tom Herits said at this stage we just send the tax maps to the State and they will make amendments as they feel necessary and they will send them back and we will make necessary changes. Another correspondence was received from several residents on Heritage Drive that they are planning a local neighborhood Halloween Party on Sat. October 29th from 1 – 4 p.m. and they would like permission to close Heritage Drive by the cul-de-sac. The balance of the street would remain open. They have spoken to the Chief and he sees no problem. The Chief requested that it be brought before Mayor and Council for your permission.
Consensus of Council is yes.
Julie Martin states another correspondence received today from Jayne Carr regarding a recent 911 call and commending the Englishtown Police Department and our entire emergency services for being very professional and responsive. Lastly in Council’s packets you have received from the finance department, a finance expenditure appropriation report. This is something that will be coming from the finance department on a monthly basis so you can know the financial status of the Borough.
Mayor Reynolds opened the floor to the public for discussion limited to agenda items only.
Paula Kuchinski asks could you elaborate on the computer and software equipment.
Mayor Reynolds states this is to purchase a new software package for the municipality to handle taxes, water/sewer etc. from Edmunds. If we decide to go ahead $10,000.00 would be appropriated from the General Capital Fund and $11,250.00 from the Water Fund and $11,250.00 from the Sewer Fund.
John Bennett responds this is basically to purchase from Edmunds and Assoc. a financial system that is utilized by most municipalities. We now utilize software, which is used by a few municipalities that are serviced by the CFO that we have. That system does not belong to us. If we purchase this from Edmunds we would own the system. We don’t own the system we have now.
There being no further questions or comments, a motion to close the public portion was offered by C/Soden and seconded by C/Palmieri. Passed unanimously.
Discussion – Capital Ordinance for Computer Equipment and Software.
Mayor Reynolds states our Business Administrator presented us with some documentation regarding new computer equipment and software. We will be introducing the Ordinance this evening.
Mayor Reynolds asks Julie Martin to ask Laurie Finger, Borough B.A. what the maintenance cost would be for this system.

Mayor Reynolds opened the floor to the public for anything they wish to bring to the attention to the governing body.
Kevin Bosies, Main Street asks were their any actions taken after the executive session at the September 24th Council meeting?
Julie Martin states there were a few resolutions, however I don’t have the minutes from that meeting here.
Kevin Bosies states I will stop by tomorrow to see them. Also with the assignment of these old tax sale certificates do we have any way of keeping track of what other ones there are to see if we could turn those into tax dollars?
C/Soden there aren’t any that we are aware of and it is kept up to date.
C/Carr asks is Pete Cooke allowed to come up to the microphone because there was something we didn’t discuss from his question from last week when he was a civilian regarding Gary Michaels.
C/Soden responds to Mr. Cooke, we all have the letter regarding that issue, if you want to make a statement that’s fine with me however it seems it’s a question on whether or not council wants to go ahead and do it.
John Bennett, Borough Attorney stated that officers on duty were not able to address Mayor and Council.
Paula Kuchinski asks if any more information came out about these special services for our police department?
C/Carr responds, I did call the insurance company and they would be covered under our insurance policy, as any special duty officer is from any town. The insurance company said although there is always a liability, there is no special liability; and they cannot make the decision for the council but in asking his opinion he had said he had no heartache with it and to go ahead.
C/Carr reads aloud letter regarding Englishtown Police Department and special services for Gary Michael’s of Manalapan. C/Carr states having all the answers to all the questions raised I would like to ask now how we could move forward with that.
C/Soden states all my questions about this subject have been answered and I have no problem with them doing the job.
C/Carr states and I also feel the same. Now we need a consensus from council so they can move forward on that and not miss out on that opportunity.
Consensus – all ayes to go forward.
Mayor Reynolds states, I just have one issue regarding the
car. They wanted a vehicle to serve as a deterrent?
John Bennett states in fairness it says that right now a vehicle is
not required and if in time there is a determination from Chief Niziolek that a
vehicle is available to be utilized for these purposes then it would be able to
be utilized, but right now they are not even asking for a vehicle.
C/Soden states when the resolution is drawn up, put into it that it is at the discretion of the Chief that if he feels that he has enough cars to handle the town that the car can go out to Gary Michael’s.
C/Carr requests that this resolution be made up and voted on now because the police department might miss this opportunity.
There being no further questions or comments, a motion to close the public portion was offered by C/Rucker and seconded by C/Palmieri. Passed unanimously.
