The next step in the capital process after the budget is approved is the introduction of ordinances for each project so that funding can be expended. Each ordinance is introduced and then a public hearing is held at the following Freeholder meeting so that the public can provide input prior to the vote being taken.

This evening, the County is introducing a total of nineteen ordinances for 2014 capital projects. There is also one refunding ordinance for public hearing and a vote.

In summary, the nineteen ordinances being introduced this evening fund capital projects at Morris View Healthcare Center, IT equipment, law enforcement equipment, buildings and grounds projects at various County facilities, security projects, Park Commission equipment, and capital projects at the School of Technology.

The largest ordinance to be introduced this evening is for our County roads totaling $2,190,700 which demonstrates this Freeholder Board’s commitment to road repair and repaving.”

PUBLIC PORTION

Ken Dolsky, representative of the Already Devalued and Devastated Homeowners Association of Parsippany, asked help from the Board concerning threats by two potential actions: (1) the construction of a new JCP&L power line through their backyards and long their property lines, and (2) a potentially dangerous mix of power line construction virtually on top of a buried high-pressure natural gas line. Mr. Dolsky feels these actions can be avoided by JCP&L’s use of an alternate route. Freeholder Cabana made a motion

212


that the Board prepare a resolution in support of the homeowner’s application and the Board was in agreement.

Ms. Christine Dwyer, Morris Township resident, spoke concerning NJ state tax used for open space. She does not support the NJ tax. Ms. Dwyer asked when the public will see a report concerning the police merger. Director Mastrangelo said that once the work is complete, the Board will update the public.

Steven Balog, Harding resident, spoke about the terrible condition of County roads. He feels that resurfacing roads is an essential function of government.

(Freeholder Cesaro left the meeting at 7:45 p.m.)

Bill Kearns, resident of Harding Township, said the roads have massive potholes where you could break an axle. He thanked Deputy Director Scapicchio for spending the time to look at Harding’s roads. Mr. Kearns hopes priorities are moved up a level, given the poor road conditions.
