ORDINANCES FOR PUBLIC HEARING
President Perkins: The Minutes have been approved. That takes
us down to Correspondence of which we have listed 35 pieces, I
believe, 35 pieces of Correspondence. Does any Council member have

passage of Ordinance #42-2008.

President Perkins: Mr. Roman, would you make the motion to amend?
Mr. Roman: I move to amend Ord. #43-2008, published and noticed
for this public hearing, by way of amendments which have been determined
by the Township Attorney to be not significant and, therefore,
not requiring a new public hearing. These amendments are to correct
the name of Applied Waste Water Management, Inc. and to note that
the development known as Morris Hunt is not included in this franchise.
Mr. Rattner: Second.
President Perkins: Council comments, questions? For edification,
that was strictly to clarify the name of the entity that will be
owning and operating the facility, as well as to remove the Morris
Hunt which was inadvertently included into that ordinance. Roll
Call, please.

Mr. Roman: I’d just like to reiterate from the last discussion
on this that I did not like the idea of raising a fee just for
the sake of raising a fee, and just because we haven’t done
it in a while is not proof that we need to increase the fee because
of an increase in expenses borne by us.
President Perkins: Thank you. Any other comments? Seeing none,
Roll Call, please.

the cancellation. The question I have really is were the taxes
to be collected on this property figured into the revenue stream
that we were going to collect this year, or not?
Ms. Jenkins: Yes, they definitely were. So that’s a hit
that we’re taking.
Mr. Greenbaum: Okay, a $200,000 hit.

ROLL CALL – Passed with the exception Mrs. Labow voted no
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
President Perkins: Administrative Matters, Mr. Sohl.
Mr. Sohl: Yes, a couple of quick things. One, in the absence of
the Mayor I’d like to read a Proclamation Honoring September
as Ovarian Cancer Month.
A Proclamation Honoring September as Ovarian Cancer Month.
Whereas, ovarian cancer is called the “silent killer” because
its symptoms are often vague and subtle; and
Whereas, ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer
death among women and the leading cause of gynecologic cancer
death in the United States; and
Whereas, each year more than 22,000 Americans are diagnosed with
the disease and approximately 16,000 die from it; and
Whereas, if detected in its early stages, survival from ovarian
cancer is 90-95 percent. Yet the five year survival rate for
the disease is only 28 percent, because it is so difficult to
detect early; and
Whereas, the Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation (KOH), a local non-profit
co-founded by ovarian cancer survivors Gail MacNeil of Chatham
Township and Lois Myers and Patricia Stewart of Harding Township,
raises funds for ovarian cancer research and to increase awareness
of the disease and its symptoms, and wishes to remind the public
that September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Now therefore, be it proclaimed that I, Bill Sohl, acting on
behalf of David M. Scapicchio, Mayor of Mount Olive Township
do hereby proclaim, September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
in the Township of Mount Olive.
President Perkins: Thank you.
Mr. Sohl: Thank you. The other thing is I sent, I think I copied
everybody on a note that I sent back to the NJDOT. It only took
about 14 or 15 months but we do in fact have a flashing warning
sign on the southbound side of Route 206. It kind of got hung up
a little bit with the electric connection, but they managed to
work through it. I gather it was turned on some time while I was
away.
President Perkins: Yes, they waited until you went on vacation,
Bill, before they turned it on.
Mr. Rattner: Take that as a compliment on your dedication of getting
that in because 14, 15 months has got to be a record for them.
Mr. Sohl: I’ll accept it as a…
Mr. Rattner: Take a complement wherever you can.
President Perkins: That was a lot quicker, and you know, kudos
to the Administration and Mayor for following through on that.
I know originally, Bill, you had tried to work in a solar on that
to conserve energy and unfortunately there just wasn’t enough
light there.
Mr. Sohl: Exactly, there was not enough light because of the lack
of direct sun.
Mrs. Labow: Trees.
President Perkins: Because of the trees. Thank goodness that’s
done and hopefully that helps not happen to a death that did occur,
I guess, about a year and a half ago there. Great job, Bill. Thank
you very much.
Mr. Sohl: Thank you.
President Perkins: Anything else?
Ms. Jenkins: Ray?
President Perkins: Sherry.
Ms. Jenkins: Just real quick. Our bond sale is tomorrow and Moody
has actually reaffirmed our AA3 rating which is really great for
us. The reason that they did that is because of our financial stability
and our conservative approach. So I thought that was really good.
President Perkins: Thank you. That’s great news.
Mr. Greenbaum: Congratulations.
Ms. Jenkins: Thank you.
President Perkins: That takes us to Old Business. Mr. Tepper.
OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Tepper: I had a copy of the proposed dock ordinance as well
as the current ordinance provided to each Council member. It came
up again at Planning Board. I’d ask that that be put on our
next Workshop and for action at our next meeting since Planning
Board has recommended it be approved. I believe the Administration
has supported that.
Mr. Sohl: That is correct.
President Perkins: Thank you, Mr. Tepper. Anything else?
Mr. Tepper: No, sir.
President Perkins: Mrs. Labow.
Mrs. Labow: I was just going to ask, Sherry, for the resolution
that we had earlier, we just missed that, when you’re figuring
out the revenue stream?
Ms. Jenkins: It wasn’t something that I missed. It was an
assessment issue. So it’s really something that Jack has
to clarify on. I don’t know why the expectation was that
we were only going to collect $7,000 in taxes and the assessment
was set at what it was. I really can’t answer that. If you
want, I can have Jack address it for you.
Mrs. Labow: That’s good. So we’ll just red flag it
for next year and make sure.
Ms. Jenkins: Yes, and the odd thing was I looked back with him
and the last couple of years were okay. Maybe the reval had, there
was an affect as result of the reval. That’s what I’m
thinking.
Mrs. Labow: Okay. Thank you.
President Perkins: As soon as they get the final approvals and
start moving then we get the big money.
Ms. Jenkins: Yes.
Mrs. Labow: Yes.
President Perkins: Any New Business?
NEW BUSINESS
Mrs. Labow: I have good news New Business. Past Councilman Jim
Buell and his wife Judy became grandparents last week for the first
time, a little baby boy. His name is Derek. Does that sound familiar,
Ray?
President Perkins: I don’t know. How does he spell it?
Mrs. Labow: D-e-r-e-k.
President Perkins: Alright.
Mrs. Labow: Baby and the baby’s mom are doing great and
I just want to extend congratulations to the Buell family. First
grandchild and another one is due in a month.
Mr. Roman: Dittos.
Mr. Tepper: Excuse me?
Mr. Rattner: Rob has his hand up.
President Perkins: Mr. Greenbaum?
Mr. Greenbaum: Yes, I noted that there were a number of e-mails
that went back and forth with respect to the use of lights at Flanders
Park and Baseball. I’d like to have a resolution prepared
indicating that any waiver of the light restrictions should be
done by way of resolution by Council, which would then give a little
bit more control and a little more thought process on Baseball
to be able to come forward when they meet to have additional time
at the field. They can come a couple of weeks in advance and say
we have this special event, that special event. We need to run
it later on that particular date. I think it’s a fair compromise
to the residents of that general area who have to deal with, whether
it be a small portion or large portion, with the fact that the
fields are indeed lit.
President Perkins: Mr. Tepper?
Mr. Tepper: With the same issue, I mean this came up this week.
I believe that delegating that to the Administration and allowing
the Administration, if it’s something that’s planned
in advance, I agree with Mr. Greenbaum. If it’s something
that on Sunday because on Saturday it rained, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday they’re now going to run a double header. We don’t
meet but once every two weeks right now. Therefore, you would effectively
not have a decision by default by having to wait for Council. I
believe that delegating it to the Administration as it approves,
the Township is approving it and it could be done either by the
Director of Parks, Buildings and Grounds or whatever can ensure
that we can be responsive to this, rather than saying that we need
to wait two weeks to act on this.
President Perkins: Mr. Rattner?
Mr. Rattner: I tend to agree with Mr. Tepper unless we find that
we have a problem. Let’s not make a problem if one isn’t
there. If it’s very rare or something, not where they want
to have a game every Sunday night or something, then we just see
if it develops into a problem. I think the easiest way is from
the Administration. If there’s a problem they can make the
evaluation and hopefully they’ll do it, you know, considering
all the residents and the team.
President Perkins: Bill?
Mr. Sohl: Yes, just by way of reference as to the history of what
we’ve done so far since the lights have been made available.
There has been one incident, or occasion, where Baseball requested
possible use beyond 10:00 pm on a chance that a game, double header
I believe it was, might run over. We granted that permission. As
it turned out it didn’t run over and it wasn’t even,
in essence, needed. It would be the position of the, we’ll
go whichever way Council decides, but it seems to be a little overkill
to have to have the Baseball team come every time they might want
that. Again, I think if there was some show by the Administration
of a callous disregard for the residents down there in terms of
granting waivers constantly, we’d be the first probably to
hear it.
Mr. Rattner: Yes.
President Perkins: Secondary comment, Mr. Greenbaum?
Mr. Greenbaum: Yes, I was asked to raise the issue by a number
of different people in Flanders Crossing. I’ve done so. It’s
obvious that there’s not support on the Council at the present
time to move forward so we can move forward with the rest of our
business.
President Perkins: Well, give me a chance to comment first, Mr.
Greenbaum. Thank you. Mrs. Labow?
Mrs. Labow: I also received a request from people, from residents
in Flanders Crossing also. Their point was how are they going to
know that permission is being granted? The other thing was if the
lights are on later than they’re supposed to be they would
just call the police and say it’s passed the time. So they
said by doing a resolution it kind of formalizes it and lets everybody
know what’s going on. That was one of their points. The other
concern that was brought up was the cost of the electric bill.
Those are some of the comments, but they would like a resolution.
The other thing that they brought up was that in any other park
they’ve seen or any type thing where we’re making a
change, we always had to go by resolution like with Turkey Brook
Park. When we had the exercise in the morning we did a resolution.
We usually follow up with a resolution.
President Perkins: Secondary comment from Mr. Tepper.
Mr. Tepper: Well, if I look at the resolution that was made by
Soccer that’s being referenced by Councilwoman Labow, in
effect, it’s for September through November. That would be
the same as me then proposing for March through September that
Baseball be entitled to have the lights if they need it. I think
we’re going overkill here. I believe the Administration,
through the Director of Parks and Grounds, has the ability. I understand
that the residents, certain residents were not in favor of the
lights to begin with and would rather not see exceptions. I don’t
think we should make it very difficult for Baseball to act on something
and until, as Mr. Sohl points out, it’s abused, I think we
ought to let Administration do their job.
President Perkins: Mr. Tobey.
Mr. Tobey: What is the current protocol when the lights are on
after 10:00? How is it enforced? Does somebody actually go down
there and turn them off, because we’re talking about whether,
you know, it’s the Council or the Administration, but let’s
back up a half a step. How do we enforce the law as it is if it’s
on after 10:00?
Mr. Tepper: They can be turned off electronically.
Mr. Sohl: The lights automatically go off.
Mr. Tobey: Have they been? Has it been enforced? If it’s
on after 10:00, has it been enforced to turn them off?
Mr. Sohl: Yes.
Mr. Tobey: Because I have to tell you, I have also been in contact
with residents and, you know, how do we enforce it? Once again,
irregardless of how we move forward, what are we doing now to enforce
the 10:00 timeframe?
Mr. Sohl: It goes off automatically.
Mr. Tepper: It’s on a timer.
Mr. Sohl: It’s doesn’t even go on unless a game is
being used.
Mr. Tobey: Alright, because there was an instance with them being
on.
Mr. Sohl: We altered the process so that the lights don’t
even go on.
Mr. Tobey: Okay.
Mr. Greenbaum: I don’t think there’s been an issue
with regard to enforcement to date that I’m aware of.
Mr. Tobey: Okay.
Mr. Sohl: There’s been an occasion where perhaps somebody
hasn’t shut it off within 10 or 15 minutes after a game has
ended. I mean, they shouldn’t be on at, let’s say,
9:30 if there’s no game going on. The way that it’s
set up to work now, that is the way it is in fact working.
Mr. Rattner: Well, just know I’ve heard a couple of complaints
that a game was over before the ending time and somebody forgot
to turn it off. The field was empty and the lights were on. I don’t
know how true it is but I have gotten a couple of comments on that,
that they drove past, the lights were on and nobody’s there.
Not after 10:00, not after the time.
Mr. Tepper: Just after the game.
Mr. Sohl: No, I understand.
Mr. Rattner: And I think that’s just reminding the people…
Mr. Sohl: And we have gone back to Baseball on several occasions
to tell them, look guys and gals, it’s in your hands.
Mr. Rattner: Oh, okay, then you’ve already addressed that.
Mr. Sohl: Oh, yes.
Mr. Rattner: That’s fine. It’s not going to be perfect.
Everybody’s going to make a mistake once in a while.
President Perkins: That it, Mr. Rattner? That’s it?
Mr. Tobey: I think that’s it.
Mr. Rattner: Plus, the Police could always shoot the light.
Mrs. Labow: Oh, no…
President Perkins: I guess that means Mr. Rattner is done. I’m
inclined to…
Mrs. Labow: …the bulb.
President Perkins: Finished? I’m inclined to agree with
the majority of the Council. However, I do see benefit in the Baseball
Club coming and getting a resolution not unlike Soccer for the
Turkey Brook. Specifically, my reasoning behind that is because
the verb “may” is used in there, that it “may” be
utilized. It doesn’t have to be utilized but at least if
there’s a timeframe, because as Mr. Tepper has adequately
pointed out, if someone were to call up today because there were
four or five rain days and all of a sudden they said they want
to hold an event this weekend play us the time, the Council can’t
appropriately act on that. You, as the Business Administrator,
can. So from an Administrative standpoint I believe that you should
have the wherewithal to be able to do that, but they should still
come before the Council with the form of a resolution that says
here are our different events, and different dates and times. As
Mr. Tepper pointed out, that may run through that three or four
month period, but they should have some indication, not just on
a Tuesday afternoon, “By the way, Mr. Sohl, I need to leave
the lights on on Thursday because we missed two games and so we’re
going to run it until 10:30 or 11:00.”
Mr. Tepper: Mr. President, one other comment. The current ordinance
for parks, lighting in parks basically says that it can be done
at the discretion of the Township. All I think we’re asking
to do is to formally acknowledge that the Business Administrator
can delegate that to Director of Parks and Grounds, Recreation,
or whoever he deems appropriate.
President Perkins: Yes, and you’re correct in that but I
think that we should still have the resolution authorizing that
they’ve come and told us. The same as Soccer, that they’re
specifically with these lights up at Turkey Brook. Here’s
what the Baseball team wants to do. The residents, I think, are
correct down there. It should be by virtue of a resolution that
says that the Council’s aware of it but that it’s in
the Administration’s hands to enforce.
Mr. Rattner: Well, why don’t we…
President Perkins: I’ll take a straw poll…
Mr. Tepper: I think we should just delegate it to the Administration
until it’s abused.
Mr. Rattner: And if we want to, the only thing, you know, with
an emergency appropriation, like if the furnace breaks on the weekend,
there is a process so that they can go and fix it without coming
to us, but they have to notify us within a couple hours, a certain
amount of hours where they send a memo. I think at this point there
hasn’t been abuse. I think they’re watching it and
they’re doing an appropriate job. If it’s going to
be for a whole period of time or saying this could happen over
the four months, as Mr. Tepper said, that needs a resolution. Anything
else, if they’re going to give a waiver, why don’t
we just, he notifies the Clerk, the Clerk can put it in our mailboxes,
or send an e-mail and say that we gave the permission. This way
if we get a call we know about it. But I don’t see any difficulty
with what they, or anything wrong with what they’ve been
doing up until now.
President Perkins: And to that point, that’s what I’m
saying is if it’s going to be over a four month deal, then
they should come by virtue of this. Otherwise, as Mr. Tepper said,
it’s Administration and I think you should go ahead with
that, and Bill…
Mr. Sohl: As I said, we’ve had one request since, what,
May, since they first went on?
President Perkins: And that’s great.
Mr. Tepper: Yes, the All-Star Game.
Mr. Rattner: Yes.
President Perkins: That’s right, just don’t want it
to turn into nightly or weekly things.
Mr. Roman: I’d be inclined to just let Administration.
President Perkins: What’s that?
Mr. Tobey: Combination is what it really is…
President Perkins: Alright, that moves us down, we’re completed
with that. Any other New Business? Legal Matters, Dominic?

PUBLIC PORTION
President Perkins: That takes us to the public portion. Anyone
from the public? Yes sir, would you come up to the podium and state
your name and address for the record.
Ned McDonnell, Budd Lake: Concerning the Bill List on page 9,
there’s a couple of items for a refund Homestead check. Could
you explain what the…?
Ms. Jenkins: When there are taxes that are delinquent on a property,
we actually get the Homestead Rebate. We have to file a report
in March for any taxes that are delinquent to the State. Sometimes
between the time that we file and the time that we actually get
that check, they’ve paid their taxes up to date, the particular
property, and if they have then we will refund the amount of money
we got for them to them.
Mr. McDonnell: Okay, fair enough. Thank you.
Ms. Jenkins: You’re welcome.
Mr. McDonnell: Another question on the same page. New Jersey League
reservations. I see it looks like 12 people went to a function
in Atlantic City.
Mr. Greenbaum: To go.
President Perkins: To go.
Mr. Sohl: To go.
Mr. Greenbaum: To go in November to the League of Municipalities.
Mr. Tepper: It’s in November.
Mr. McDonnell: Oh, okay. Is it necessary to send a dozen people
to this? Where I’ve worked, some places, before when there’s
conferences and things, one or two people will go and they’ll
bring back the pertinent information and report to the interested
parties. It seems like a lot of money and a lot of people to all
go at once to a convention of some form.
President Perkins: Well, there’s also training sessions
where they get credits toward their licenses that they have to
attend and some of those courses, ironically enough, are held at
the exact same time as the New Jersey League of Municipalities
Convention. So most of those employees are going down specifically
to attend those classes to be able to get their continuing education
units.
Mrs. Labow: Ray, also the credit…
Mr. McDonnell: So basically this is a necessary thing for their
employment?
President Perkins: Yes. Who was first? Mr. Tepper.
Mr. Tepper: Ned, there’s one other thing. From a Council
perspective, each Councilmember that attends the issue on safety
and whatnot reduces our insurance bill by $250.
Mrs. Labow: We get a $250 credit. So it costs us, individually,
$318. I’ll pay for my room. So the Town gets a $250 credit.
Mr. McDonnell: That’s a pretty good deal, really.
Mrs. Labow: And not to mention we also lose time from work.
Mr. Tepper: Basically, it’s a benefit to the Town of attending
that seminar as well as us becoming aware of what the current requirements
are.
Mr. McDonnell: Okay.
President Perkins: Rob?
Mr. Greenbaum: Yes, this year, Ned, just so you’re aware,
I am going down just on the day that the seminar is given. I have
signed up for the League. It’s a good opportunity to see
what new products are out there and get some ideas in terms of
some things that the Township may be interested in. In addition,
I attend the Morris County Luncheon which is a function that’s
attended by all of the Morris County elected officials including
our State representatives, and I attend the class. So for $35 I’m
saving the Township probably close, over $200 by attending. I’m
not one of the people who are staying this year, but at times I
do stay because it runs late into the day and it’s a long
way. So I agree with everything that’s been said. It’s,
from the Township’s perspective of its employees, they schedule
those classes so that everyone can get the required credits needed
for certifications in whatever fields they are in, whether it’s
financial, tax, clerk, whatever’s required.
Mr. McDonnell: Okay, well that explains it pretty good. As long
as you’re getting something of value.
Mr. Sohl: And from a perspective of what’s available, when
we get the list of available classes or seminars, which at any
one point in time there’s as many as a dozen or more seminars
simultaneously going on. So the Clerk may be in one having to do
with OPRA requests, the CFO or Council people may be in another
one. It’s literally impossible to attend everything. There’s
just no way.
Mr. McDonnell: Okay, fair enough. Thank you for your answers.
Mr. Sohl: We’ll share that information with you if you want
to see it when we get it.
Mr. McDonnell: Okay, thank you.
President Perkins: Thank you, Mr. McDonnell. Anyone else from
the public wish to be heard? Seeing none, I close it to the public
and go for last Council comments. Mr. Greenbaum?
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Mr. Greenbaum: None this evening, thank you.
President Perkins: Mr. Tepper?
Mr. Tepper: None, thank you.
President Perkins: Mr. Roman?
Mr. Roman: None.
President Perkins: Mrs. Labow.
Mrs. Labow: I just have two quick ones. I should have brought
it up earlier. Mr. Nelson (Russell) had asked on the Bill List
last meeting about the bill for Dr. Golub for the animal issue
with the cats and so forth. I just wanted to let you know, Nelson,
I did follow up. I don’t know if he hears me. Nelson? I followed
up on the question you asked on the Bill List last time for Dr.
Golub, and the bank so far, we do believe that they will be making
restitution for the charges that we’ve had for that issue.
If not, we are prepared to go for a lien, but first we’re
just submitting the bill and it looks like it will be reimbursed.
One way or another we’ll be reimbursed. Another note, just
on the, two years ago I guess it was at the League, we were walking
around collecting pens, Ned. We were saying that we’re helping
the budget by collecting pens and we’ll bring them to the
counters because all the vendors gave out pens and pads. It is
a very educational experience. You learn a tremendous amount in
a two day period. It’s phenomenal. Thank you.
President Perkins: Thank you, Mrs. Labow. Mr. Rattner?
Mr. Rattner: Yes, tonight we passed Resolution #8 which was an
executed TWA application for Mount Olive Industrial Realty Company.
This is the first one that we’ve approved since the new wastewater
rules went into effect. The way that I read it, in fact talking
to my peers as a Commissioner at the Musconetcong Sewerage Authority
at the Middlesex and Somerset Utilities, is that they got the utility,
TWA approval, the municipality, but now with the new rules the
County has to approve it. The County won’t have a wastewater
management plan anywhere from nine months to two years. So it’s
going to be interesting to see if the State is really serious,
Mr. Rattner (Cont’d): if they’re going to hold up almost
all construction any time you would need a TWA for that.
Mr. Sohl: Just as a point of reference, the County had a meeting
with the western municipalities here. Gene Buczynski was present.
I was there, Catherine Natafalusy, Chuck McGroarty, Tim Quinn,
and the County’s intent is to get theirs in approval position
by the early part of ’09. Whether that happens and then approval
on the State, I don’t know.
Mr. Rattner: Yes, I have my meeting for the utilities tomorrow.
The issue is that as of right now, the document is 17.5 feet high.
Mr. Sohl: Yes, well if you take the existing…
Mr. Rattner: What they’re saying is they’re taking
a pool at the County, this is to submit next March, and that is
how big a truck they’re going to rent to take it down. The
issue becomes, we know when we have a very simple application we
send it in, it takes sometimes up to two years like our wastewater
management plan that we submitted four years ago. It takes two
years to come back, and they came up with nine pages of changes,
half of them grammatical. So when I said nine months to two years
was that just because it goes in in March of next year, they’re
going to be getting 18 Counties on the same day. If they can’t
get that, then they’re going to have to review it and they’re
going to have to approve it. That’s going to be interesting.
It just is terrible for anybody who is trying to develop anything.
So we’re just hoping that they’re going to give some
sort of leeway, because the few things that we have going in town
we definitely need those ratables.
President Perkins: Definitely. Mr. Tobey?
Mr. Tobey: Nothing, thank you.
President Perkins: I just have, I guess I actually have two things.
One, the weekend before last I had the honor of attending the Military
Appreciation Day at Wild West City. Councilman Rattner was also
in attendance. It was rather warm that day. The Mayor, unfortunately,
could not attend. He was away on vacation, well deserved, after
the passing of his father the week before. It was an excellent
event. Our Representative, Rodney Frelinghuysen, was there. There
were some great speeches, a great way to show appreciation for
all of our military. As a veteran I can only ask, and I know there
are other veterans out here in the audience, it’s a great
feeling to thank these people, something that some of us didn’t
get, but don’t hold it down. It’s a great thing to
say thank you to these people for what they’re doing. I mean,
these are actual… You remember the reserves and you only
had two weeks of summer vacation? Well, those are the guys and
gals over there giving their lives right now.
Mr. Rattner: I think on that the best part of your speech was
when you gave the accolades to the veteran’s hospital when
you hear all the complaints for that minor procedure you went through
three years ago.
Mr. Roman: Minor.
President Perkins: Yes, and our Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen
has been instrumental in pushing for improvements in the VA medical
system over the years. As I said then, as Mr. Rattner just reiterated,
I’m a walking poster child for the VA medical center having
gone through that liver transplant three years to the day. Mr.
Sohl, I guess we forgot some good news for our residents in the
Goldmine Water system.
Mr. Sohl: Well, we got okay to connect at least through the end
of the year. So we’ve got some work that we’ve got
to make sure we get done before the end of the year.
President Perkins: The good news is that well #2 can be put on
on an emergent basis and that should alleviate some of the strain
on the system for the people in Goldmine. The ordinance that was
approved this evening for the water system for Applied and Toll
Brothers in their developer’s agreement has a clause that
they have agreed to have the interconnection between their system
and the Goldmine system completed by December 31st of this year.
So those residents should hopefully be well on their way to safe
and adequate potable water. With that is the end of my comments.
Mr. Roman: Ray? Bill, are the residents in the Goldmine Estates
going to notice that there well’s been connected?
President Perkins: No.
Mr. Roman: Okay.
Mr. Greenbaum: It’s a water pressure issue.
Mr. Rattner: Hopefully the complaints will stop.
Mr. Sohl: The real change will come once the standpipe is utilized.
Mr. Roman: Okay, thank you.
President Perkins: As long as they have an adequate flow, Alex,
what will happen is they will have a continuous, uninterrupted
flow of water.
Mr. Roman: Yes, I was just curious as to whether they would notice.
President Perkins: Yes, if they can turn on the faucet and it
comes out.
Mr. Tepper: Yes, because they’ll have water.
Mrs. Labow: They’ll have water.
Mr. Greenbaum: Now the use of Turkey Brook will not affect the
Goldmine residents.
President Perkins: That’s correct.
Mrs. Labow: Right.
Mr. Rattner: We haven’t used Turkey Brook for a while.
President Perkins: That’s okay.
Mr. Greenbaum: Well, we’ll be able to use Turkey Brook.
Mr. Rattner: You have the other big…
President Perkins: I will now take a motion to adjourn.
ADJOURNMENT - Motion was made and seconded, all in favor and none
opposed, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 pm.
