Mr. Rao: Addressed the council about the mayor’s executive order on Pay to Play.

Hearing.

Mr. Sumal: We recommend a release of the performance guarantee. The cemetery is located on the south side of Cheesequake/Morristown Road. We have inspected the site and find that the work has been done satisfactorily.

to release the performance guarantee of Mt. Hebron Cemetery moved by Councilman Redmond, seconded by Councilman Calogera and so ordered on the following roll call vote:

AYES: Councilmen Baker, Calogera, Greene, Redmond, Councilwoman Panos, President Butler.

Mr. Sumal: Some of the work done has deficiencies. In view of this, we are recommending a 50% reduction of the performance guarantee.

Councilman Redmond: Right now there’s those orange barrels where the lights are . . . Do we know, do we have a schedule for when that is going to go and those ugly barrels can disappear?

Mr. Heilbrunn: I am advised that the lights are in place. All the concrete is in place, and the only item that remains to be done for the lights to be operational is the striping of the lanes.

Mr. Sumal: There is work to be done on the pavement on Cottrell Road prior to striping.

Mayor Cannon: I have the same concerns. The road improvements are overdue by over a year which has created an extremely hazardous situation. I know the contractor had left for about three or four weeks. They are now back. Is there more work to be done?

Mr. Sumal: As far as the lighting is concerned, the only work left to be done is striping. Before this is done, there is work on the pavement on Cottrell Road to be done.

Mayor Cannon: Before the money is released, I want to see the striping because we have been held hostage for over a year by work that should have been completed early last fall.

Councilman Calogera: Where do we stand with the striping? How do we remedy this? Are we going to be doing the striping? Is it the DOT?

Councilman Redmond: When you say that there are road improvements before they do the striping, they have to do more paving?

Mr. Sumal: There is a section of the pavement near the entrance of the bank which needs to be adjusted.

4. Goddard School - release/reduction performance guarantee - (Postponement Requested).

Mr. Heilbrunn: I am asking for the next available date for the Goddard School and without further notice or publication.

President Butler: We are looking into September, and since this is June, I think they should be re-noticed.

This ordinance is adopted for the purpose of authorizing the conveyance of certain lands to wit: an area of 1.76 square feet/acres of land owned by the Township of Old Bridge to VFW Post No. 9468. The lands authorized to be conveyed herein are known and described as Block 17007, Lot 4. The conveyance of the property shall be by Quitclaim Deed in a form approved by the township attorney.

1. The Township Council authorizes the conveyance of 1.76 acres of land located in the Township of Old Bridge to VFW Post No. 9468 and known as Block 17007, Lot 4.

2. The Township Council hereby finds that the said property is no longer needed for municipal purposes, and pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:12-21(b) it is being conveyed for the nominal consideration of $10.00 and by agreement with VFW Post No. 9468 to render service or provide facilities for veterans of every way and the general public of the Township of Old Bridge.

3. The land conveyed shall only be used for the purposes of VFW Post No. 9468 and shall not be used for commercial, business, trade, development or manufacture. If the land at any time be no loner used for purposes for which it was conveyed, it shall revert back to the Township of Old Bridge.

Moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilman Redmond and so ordered on the following roll call vote:

AYES: Councilmen Baker, Calogera, Greene, Redmond, Testino, Councilwoman Panos, President Butler.

Mr. Curry: I would like to bring to your attention to the fact there has never been a veterans’ home since 1962 on Springfield Avenue. It burned down. This will be the first veterans’ organization with an official post home, and there are a few people who belong to other posts who live in this town. They had to go to other towns to be a part of it, and those towns reaped their benefits. If anyone is thinking of voting “no”, think about the Memorial Day parade. It was nothing. All our veterans are going to other towns. If we had a post home, maybe we would have something better.

Councilwoman Panos: In Section 2-4 it says “that should the VFW post cease to operate for purposes . . . it shall revert to the Township of Old Bridge.” What if they put a building on it? Does it revert to the same price they got it for?

Attorney Rogueries: Part of the contract being made here is that this property is being conveyed for essentially no money, and part of it is that it has to be continually used for the exempt purpose. I don’t think I am letting secrets out when say that veteran’s organizations are suffering because WWII and Korean War veterans were the bulk of these organizations. At some point if the membership gets so thin that they don’t continue it, whatever improvements that have been made will inure to the township when the property is returned to it.

Councilwoman Panos: Gentlemen, you have done this country proud many years ago. Take this property and do it again.

I strongly recommend that we go forward with this. After Sayreville’s acting business administrator advised me that their council has agreed to go forward with this and will have to introduce and adopt an ordinance.

3. Accepting land from Carmine and Ginharda MaLanga (known as part of Block 16000, Lot 3 - ROW along Old Amboy Road).

Councilman Greene: I need an explanation of what we are doing and exactly where this piece of property is. It is listed on Old Amboy Road; yet in the backup it just says “Amboy Road”. These are two different locations.

Councilman Greene: If that is the location, why are these people turning the property over to the township?

Attorney Ruggierio: These are dedications required by the planning board, and we accept them in order to have a clear paper trail on our acceptance of dedications on the planning board level.

Councilman Greene: On the last sheet of the back “Amboy Road” is mentioned. Is this a new house?

Attorney Ruggierio: It is some type of an approval at the planning or zoning level.

Mayor Cannon: I am not aware that we have approved anything at the planning board level on Old Amboy Road or Amboy Road.

Councilman Greene: If you don’t mind, let’s table this until we have more information.

A. All special law enforcement officers first appointed after January 1, 1987 shall either be residents of Old Bridge or non-resident employees of Old Bridge Township.

All ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with or in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.

B. If the Mayor vetoes the Ordinance (in the manner set forth at N.J.S.A. 40A:69A-41), this Ordinance shall become effective upon the Township Council’s vote to override the Mayor’s veto.

Moved by Councilman Baker, seconded by President Butler and so ordered on the following roll call vote:

Councilman Calogera: Is there a shortage of township residents who wish to become special officers? What is the reason for opening this up to out of town people?

Councilman Greene: As the law stands now in order to be appointed to be a special law enforcement officer, you must be a township resident. It came to my attention that a township employee is very interested in becoming a special law enforcement officer. I thought it was very generous of him. I am amending this ordinance specifically to let this individual or any other employee of the township if they would like to become a special law enforcement officer in Old Bridge, it will permit them to do that.

Councilman Calogera: Is there a shortage of township residents wishing to become special law enforcement officers? I appreciate our employees’ vigorous concerns where they may want to serve in this town if they don’t live here. I image they can do that in their own town where they do live, and we can still value them as outstanding employees here during the day. Is there a shortage of residents in Old Bridge looking to become special law enforcement officers?

Capt. Cerra: I don’t know the answer to the questions that you are asking. I can say that we recently opened our own special police academy, and you can have as many as you wish.

Councilman Calogera: We should not open this up to outside other than our own residents. I believe that those employees even though they do service greatly, and I appreciate it, have the opportunity of participating in their own town. I will be voting “no” .

Councilman Greene: There is a possibility that this person lives in a town where there does not exist special law enforcement [officers].
