2019 MUNICIPAL BUDGET DISCUSSION
Mayor Maio stated the Finance Committee met and reviewed the open items in the Budget. There were a few items that needed to be added back into the Budget. The Finance Committee recommended adding $10,000 into the Budget for the flashing beacon at the crosswalk on Brooklyn Road and Crestview Drive; adding $1,800 to increase general liability the general liability to $3,800, which was recommended by the JIF; adding $1,700 for Weather Works which is an annual fee and will allow us access to meteorologists who specialize in local weather. Administrator McNeilly added it will also be helpful with scheduling Borough projects and events. Mayor Maio noted the other open item was salary increases for Borough employees. The Finance Committee recommended a 3% increase for all non-union employees other than part-time sub-code officials whose salaries will remain the same. The Finance Committee also recommended a $500 increase for the Registrar and Deputy Registrar. The total of these increases amounts to about $20,000. Mayor Maio said she asked the CFO the impact on the Budget with these increases. There is a .93% increase in the Budget with a 1.13% increase in the tax levy and amount the average household is impacted is $26.96. Administrator McNeilly noted the iPads will be included in the capital budget. Councilwoman Kuncken clarified that the 3% increase is for this year and does not carry to future years. Council agreed with the Finance Committee’s recommendations. Mayor Maio asked the CFO to rerun a final copy of the Budget. The Budget will be introduced at the next meeting. Mayor Maio thanked the CFO and Administrator for their hard work on the Budget and she thanked the Council for their attention on the Budget. Councilwoman Zdichocki asked about Weather Works. Mayor Maio stated Weather Works is a working tool for the Administrator and the DPW. Administrator McNeilly stated this was looked at during the League Conference and the storm information provided, including the timeframe for each location, was accurate. It will show weather in our specific area and can be used for determining weather for Borough events. Administrator McNeilly reminded the governing body that last year every one of the Borough’s special public events were cancelled due to the weather. The primary contact will be DPW Superintendent Jason Titsworth.

They offered to give the truck to the Fire Department, who could then sell it and get money for their department.

Councilwoman Kuncken said she noticed a sign about a camp on one of the poles at the school; however, she is not sure of the content of the sign.
ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
Highlands Commission – Administrator McNeilly reported he contacted the Commission and informed them the governing body is not looking to partner at this time.
Port Morris Pump Station – Administrator McNeilly reported he, Eric Keller and Jason Titsworth had the final design review meeting for the station. Bid specs are being created. The bid notice will be published on March 14th and the bid opening will be on April 10th. Administrator McNeilly noted they will be putting in their own flow meter on this pump station. The pump station at Musconetcong Park does not have a flow meter, but it has run times on the meter. Administrator McNeilly advised that the lead time on this is because the vendor awarded the contract will need to purchase the pump.
Plaster Mill – Administrator McNeilly stated he received a request from Councilman Riccardi for an update on removing the Plaster Mill from the Historic Registry. Administrator McNeilly stated this matter got stalled between his office and the Borough Engineer. They will submit the request this month.
Environmental Commission Request – Administrator McNeilly directed the governing body to a memo from the Environmental Commission requesting permission to submit an application to ANJEC for a grant for trail erosion remediation and he asked the governing body’s guidance on a reply. Administrator McNeilly stated the path is severely rutted. The path is a pedestrian path that goes from Stanhope School to the back of Lenape Valley Regional High School and past the student parking lot. There is the question of property ownership towards the end of the trail. Administrator McNeilly added it is part of the trail plan. Mayor Maio clarified the trail plan is “existing and future trail plans.” Administrator McNeilly stated the Environmental Commission shows it is in the right-of-way. Councilman Riccardi explained it is only the leading path. The hill down to where the pond starts is the only issue. Mayor Maio asked if it is in the wetlands. Administrator McNeilly responded in the negative, adding it is where water transitions through. Administrator McNeilly believes it is within the right-of-way. Councilman Riccardi stated the Environmental Commission is looking to apply for an ANJEC grant to see what can be done. The grants are between $1,200 and $1,800. Mayor Maio stated, in the past, the Borough has received $1,500. Councilman Riccardi stated the grant would fund engineering services to review and determine what needs to be done. The governing body discussed the request and agreed, if awarded, the grant would fund engineering services and if the Engineer said it could be done, the funds for the project could be included in next year’s budget. Council agreed to permit the Environmental Commission to submit an application for the ANJEC Grant. Administrator McNeilly will inform the Environmental Commission of Council’s decision.
JCP&L – Administrator McNeilly reported he has been in contact with the area representative to investigate the installation of lighting at the American Legion crosswalk and he is waiting to hear back. Councilwoman Zdichocki noted a resident’s concern about the lighting at Canfield and asked if this could be brought to JCP&L’s attention. Administrator McNeilly responded he inspected the site of the light pole and although if may be on the wrong side of the road, there is no more or less lighting at that corner than other places throughout the Borough. The Administrator will speak to JCP&L about this location.
Fire Department Bucket Drop – Administrator McNeilly noted a request was made at the Public Safety Committee meeting to review the Borough’s position on NJDOT application regarding the bucket drop on a State Highway. The Police Chief has indicated that if the traffic plan is prepared by the Borough Engineer, he would then only need to have the duty officer periodically check on the event. The Fire Chief is arranging to have the previously prepared plan provided, after which he will have it reviewed by the Borough Engineer. After review by the Engineer the Mayor and Council can decide by resolution if they wish to proceed with the application.
WORK SESSION
Google Suite – Mayor Maio said there is nothing new to report other than they will go through the capital budget for the purchase of the laptops. Mayor Maio asked if the Borough Attorney will also get a laptop. Administrator McNeilly responded they will order 8 so there will be a back-up one if needed. He spoke to Ursula Leo and she said if everything is emailed to her prior to the meeting, she will print it out and will not need a laptop. Mayor Maio asked the Administrator to create a “user policy” for use of the laptops, which should include return of the laptop if no longer a member of the governing body and security measures. Mayor Maio added the laptops are Borough property and are only to be used for Borough business. Councilman Romano asked about google drive and whether they will all be working on one or will one be assigned to each user. Councilman Riccardi responded it is one per user, but users can assign permission to share with your group to view it.
TAP Grant – Mayor Maio noted there are no updates on this matter. Administrator McNeilly advised that Eric Keller will be attending the April 9th meeting, at which he will provide an update.
Sussex County League of Municipalities Meeting – Councilwoman Zdichocki noted the topic of the upcoming meeting of the Sussex County League of Municipalities is “The Legalization of Marijuana in NJ Fact/Fiction. Councilwoman Zdichocki believes it is important to have a representative from Council attend this meeting. There are three members of the governing body who can attend and have the Borough pay for their attendance. Members of the governing body who are not one of the three for that month’s meeting can attend and pay for their attendance. Mayor Maio stated she and the Administrator will be attending the meeting. Councilwoman Kuncken, Councilwoman Thistleton and Councilman Riccardi said they will also be attending the meeting.

AGENDA ITEMS
All items listed on the Agenda for March 26, 2019 were approved.
CITIZEN’S TO BE HEARD
Mayor Maio opened the meeting to the public after advising attendees that there is a five (5) minute time limit for each speaker.
Ted L’Estrange, 46 Prospect Hill Road, Cuddebackville, New York approached the governing body to speak about forced organ harvesting in China. Over the past decade reports have emerged that the Chinese regime is killing prisoners of conscience to supply its organ transplantation industry. In countries with advanced healthcare capabilities and organized organ donation systems, patients usually wait years for a donor to become available; yet in China, waiting times for kidney and liver transplants were commonly listed in weeks. Investigators jointly published an updated report on the on-demand nature and scale of organ transplantation in China, finding that the transplant volume is far larger than previously estimated. Mr. L’Estrange said word of mouth is needed to make known what is happening.
Michael McFarland, 9 Maryann Terrace, Stanhope stated he is new to the town, having purchased a perfect home in a perfect community.
Seeing no one from the public wishing to speak, Mayor Maio closed the public portion of the meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
On motion by Councilman Romano, seconded by Councilman Thornton, and unanimously carried by voice vote the meeting was adjourned at 7:00 P.M.
