On roll call, all present voted in the affirmative. Resolutions approved 04/07/15. COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Councilman Brown reported that the Environmental Commission raised a question about the recent oil spill on Forest Avenue and the concern is if there is any discussion about testing in regards to that spill and if there is any type of contamination and Bill Frint responded that there is no contamination in the water. Essex Fells was required a safe drinking water act several years ago and they had to survey all their wells and they are not under the influence of surface water which meaning something washing over cannot enter the wells that is close to the area and there are no wells located near Forest Avenue area. Councilman Brown continued his report the Environmental Commission has applied for ANJEC Grant if they do get the funding which would be $1500.00, they would be putting that towards the Personette Street Park. The Sustainable day will be on May 2nd in between Community Center and Borough Hall. There is an Earth Day and Arbor Day contest for grades K-8, high school, college and adult’s to participate. The information is on the website and the date for submission is Friday, April 24th 8:30 – 4:30PM at Borough Hall and Saturday, April 25th by 12PM at the Caldwell Public Library. Councilman Hauser reported that the Open Space Committee had their meeting and there was a lot of discussion on the use of the funds that were collected and some questions that were asked. At the Senior Transportation meeting there was a gentleman from a bus company that talked about what is available and there are no diesel buses that are viable for the same type of bus we currently have which is a 16 seat bus that will hold 20 without the wheel chair use. They talked about Hybrid and electric and essentially there is no option due to the cost. On April 20th there is a public meeting with CDBG to approve the grant for the bus. Councilman Cascarano reported on the Planning Board and they have considered a resolution by the University to switch the traffic pattern on one of their roads by changing the parking in order to allow more parking for students. It was passed unanimously with minor issues concerning trees and fire hydrants. The Personnel committee has distributed the draft Employee manual and they look forward to any comments from Council. OLD BUSINESS: Historic Commission Ordinance /Discussion Greg Mascera reported that a red line copy of the existing ordinance and the proposed modifications to that ordinance was distributed to the Council. The ordinance can be reintroduced at the next meeting. David Cowell 29 Brookside Avenue, the Historical Preservation Commission is having a walking tour Parsonage Hill on Saturday, April 11th at noon. NEW BUSINESS: Public Meeting Conduct / Discussion Council President O’Donnell reported that he attended the Zoning Board meeting where the attorney’s in two applicants in his opinion and the opinion of most people attending is they misbehaved to the point that the Police were called and he thought their conduct was threating, aggressive to these Board members and whatever we decide and resolve should apply to Council meetings. He would like to come up with a procedure that these boards can follow in the event this occurs again and it should include contacting the Police Department and have them removed. Greg Mascera responded that we can create by ordinance or resolution a procedure. Right now the Mayor conducts the meeting and the Mayor now has the authority to request the removal of any participant for reason the Mayor believes is actions that are disruptive. As far as the Planning and Zoning Boards those Boards can adopt and we can ask the Board to please consider but we can’t make those rules because they are autonomist but we can ask them to consider creating bi-laws. Greg will speak to Ms. Durkin and Mr. Trembulak and see if they can come up with a policy that is consistent with this Council and the two Boards.



Page 4 of 5 REPORT OF MAYOR: Mayor Dassing reported that she was contacted by A Salt & Buttery their formal opening is on May 2nd at 9AM and the owner has commented on what a warm welcome she has received from Caldwell. The Mayor thanked Ann Marchioni and the Environmental Commission for putting together a grant to ANJEC for the Personette Street property. A question was brought up by Councilman Hauser about combining the Environmental Commission and Open Space and Greg Mascera responded that by statute we need the Environmental Commission and he is not sure but will find out if by statute about an Open Space Committee. Ann Marchioni responded that she contacted ANJEC and there are some instances in New Jersey where the Open Space has merged with the Environmental Commission. REPORT OF BOROUGH ADMINISTRATOR Paul Carelli reported on the following:

• The Sewer plant clarifier reinforcement is underway. The footings were poured and Greg Seaman is keeping an eye on that

• Borough Hall improvements are moving along. The Court office has been remediated basically gutted. There is electric wiring being done with new lights and outlets.

• We opened proposals on March 31st for the revaluation and we received two proposals one from Appraisal Systems, Inc. for $169,985 and one from Professional Property Appraisers for $177,558 and will be evaluated in the same matter as we did with the sewer plant. There is a committee and a check list that needs to be reviewed.

• We did the final draft of our employee manual it was presented to the department heads at our safety meeting and it was also given to the JIFF for their review. He would like to put it on the next meeting to adopt it.

• There is a meeting at the sewer plant on Thursday morning at 10AM with PSE&G for the 2nd meeting for the solar panel project.

• Last week’s safety meeting we received an award for $1000.00 with a new plaque that is hanging in the hallway. That’s an award we get for conducting meetings and the Chief and Fred Arnold are instrumental in going to the meetings as with Lisa handling all our claims in a timely matter.

• He will be sending out information about refunding our bonds. The bonding company had looked at our debt service for our 2005 General Improvement Bonds and our sewer bonds. We have ten years left on those and it’s basically a refinance which the State encourages that we refinance when it’s beneficial to the town. Anything over a 3% saving they don’t want approval you can go ahead with that. He believes it’s almost and 8% savings based on refunding these bonds we will save about $275,000 present value savings.

Councilman O’Donnell asked about the open invoice with Hatch Mott that we are disputing and is that still being negotiated with and Paul responded that it has been negotiated to being cut in half. REPORT OF BOROUGH ATTORNEY: Greg Mascera reported that Mr. Ingris has filed a motion in Federal Court trying to consolidate every one of his dismissed State Court actions into a Federal Court action. Mr. Kenny who is the JIFF appointed attorney on our behalf wrote a lengthy letter to the Federal Court Judge. REPORT OF POLICE CHIEF: James Bongiorno reported that April is nationwide Distracted Driving Awareness month which started April 1st through April 21st no cell phones or texting. On April 18th the Smull Lot will be closed between noon and 10PM the Lincoln School is having the Italian Culture Festival. OPEN PUBLIC MEETING: Moved by Council President O’Donnell seconded by Councilman Cascarano to open meeting to the Public. Richard Basta, Historic Preservation thanked the Mayor and Council for sending the Historic Preservation Committee to a training session. On a motion made by Councilman Brown and seconded by Councilman Capozzoli, unanimously affirmed, the Council moved into Executive Session at 9:10P.M. Mayor Dassing read the following statement: BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 10:12 and 13, the public shall be excluded from the Executive Session of the Governing Body which is being held for the discussion of the following subject matters: 1.
