Motion carried.

WHEREAS, pursuant to §2-14 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of Bernards the volunteer Fire

Department of the Township of Bernards shall consist of the Basking Ridge Fire Company #1 and the Liberty

Corner Fire Company, Inc.; and

WHEREAS, the Fire Department shall furnish annual reports, in writing to the Township Committee; and

WHEREAS, the Fire Department shall be governed by the rules and regulations adopted by resolution of the

Township Committee.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Township Committee of the Township of Bernards as follows

regarding the BRFC:

1. The BRFC 2012 annual report is accepted as submitted.

2. The BRFC 2013 By-Laws are adopted as submitted.

3. The BRFC 2013 Roster of members is acknowledged as submitted.

Joint Task Force on RHS Traffic – Report and Recommendations Timko presented the Task Force’s preferred Option 9: Creating a new ingress and egress separate and apart from

the traffic signal on N. Finley Avenue was the best way to solve the problem. Specifically, Concept Plan #9 was the

best overall solution because it created two non overlapping ingress/egress traffic loops. Concept plan # 9 can be

constructed with little or no infringement on private property owners. The ingress can function as a right hand turn

in only for vehicles travelling north on Finley Avenue (a left hand turn in, while convenient, would not be

constructed). Exiting vehicles will turn right only to head North on Finley Avenue. During the morning rush the

exiting vehicles would be restricted to buses only. In the afternoon the current practice would prevail: vehicles

exiting lots C and D can do so through the health department (north bound) or through the oval and traffic signal.

The existing ability to leave the oval through the health department drive would be eliminated with little impact

since vehicles can easily proceed to the signal to turn north.

The committee agreed with the Task Force’s decision. Motion by Spitzer, second by Malay, and unanimously

agreed to amend the agenda to add Resolution #2013-0173 to the agenda under New Business for formalize their

support for the Board’s decision.

Resolution #2013-0173 - Supporting the Board of Education’s Decision to Implement Option 9 in the Joint Task Force’s Report of March 25, 2013, for Improvements to Traffic Flow for the Morning Arrival to Ridge High School Motion by Carpenter, second by Spitzer, that the resolution be approved.

Motion carried.

WHEREAS, in November of 2012 the Bernards Township Board of Education and the Bernards Township

Committee agreed to form a joint task force to provide a recommendation to the respective governing bodies for a

safe traffic flow for the morning arrival to Ridge High School that includes traffic patterns for pedestrians, school

buses, and private vehicles; and

WHEREAS, over the period of four months, numerous solutions were evaluated with equal consideration to

develop pros and cons for each, and public input was solicited; and




of 26

WHEREAS, a final report containing analysis of the pros and cons of each solution was produced by the task force

in consultation with the Township Engineer Thomas Timko, PE and an independent Traffic Engineering firm of

Dolan and Dean Consulting Engineers; and

WHEREAS, on April 8, 2013, the Bernards Township Board of Education discussed the final report and concluded

that Option 9 is the most desirable to pursue; in summary Option 9 states:

Creating a new ingress and egress separate and apart from the traffic signal on N. Finley Avenue was the best way

to solve the problem. Specifically, Concept Plan #9 was the best overall solution we could devise because it created

two non overlapping ingress/egress traffic loops. Concept plan # 9 can be constructed with little or no infringement

on private property owners. The ingress can function as a right hand turn in only for vehicles travelling north on

Finley Avenue (a left hand turn in, while convenient, would not be constructed). Exiting vehicles will turn right only

to head North on Finley Avenue. During the morning rush the exiting vehicles would be restricted to buses only. In

the afternoon the current practice would prevail: vehicles exiting lots C and D can do so through the health

department (north bound) or through the oval and traffic signal. The existing ability to leave the oval through the

health department drive would be eliminated with little impact since vehicles can easily proceed to the signal to turn

north.

WHEREAS, on April 9, 2013, the Bernards Township Committee discussed the final report.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Township Committee of the Township of Bernards that we do

hereby acknowledge and agree that Option 9 should be implemented by the Board of Education.


that we do hereby direct staff to prepare the necessary ordinances and easements to effectuate Option 9.

EXECUTIVE SESSION (continuation of earlier session if required) None required.

ADJOURNMENT By unanimous consent, the meeting adjourned at 9:27 PM.
