REPORT OF BOROUGH ATTORNEY

Acting Borough Attorney Thomas Semple read the following report:

Honorable Mayor, Members of Governing Body, Madam Clerk and borough residents good evening. Formally, I have nothing to report at this time. Yet I would be remiss not to caution you with regard to public meetings.� Our outstanding library will be sponsoring an activity this Thursday where a majority of us will undoubtedly be gathering.� Thus it may be appropriate as the municipal attorney for the Borough of Kenilworth to provide some guidance and to respectfully remind everyone the significance of the Open Public Meeting Act.� You may recall we acknowledged it when the meeting was first opened.� In 1975 the �SUNSHINE LAW� as it is called, set forth a strong public policy for NJ, that of open government for a free democratic society.� Our business is the Public Business cannot occur behind closed doors.� Thus the reason for my point is to caution and remind everyone and your various committees that the Act, the law is to be treated with great deal of respect.� On Thursday, please do not continue to discuss Borough business as a group outside of actually scheduled meetings.� One of the founders of our great nations, James Madison wrote: A Popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both.� Knowledge will forever govern ignorance.�

Thus please be diligent to avoid the shroud of distrust or embarrassment.� Not only should material changes in the date or time of a meeting be properly noticed to the public to satisfy the Act so as to permit the Public an opportunity to participate, so must you avoid any appearance at any forum including the Shakespeare presentation where official acts by a quorum may innocently be deliberated.� Thank you for your indulgence with regard to this proactive advice.� I wish everyone a good evening.

�REPORT OF ACTING BOROUGH MAGISTRATE

Acting Councilperson Louis Garzone (filling in for Liliana Pereira who was unable to attend) read the following report:

Through the period ending May 3, 2004 our municipal court has processed the following case load:� 20 driving while intoxicated offenses, 880 moving violations, 203 parking violations, 68 indictables, 119 disorderly & petty disorderly persons offenses and 32 local ordinance violations.� Even though Kenilworth is one of the smallest towns in Union County in terms of size and population, we continue to have one of the busiest municipal courts in the County.� Last year I informed the council that we could be participating in the comprehensive enforcement program administered by the administrative office of the courts.� The CEP is designed to assist municipal courts in the collection of outstanding fines and assessments through the use of a combination of state an local resources.� Since January of this year we have collected in excess of $10,000 in overdue fines and assessments.� While this is only a small portion of all outstanding fines and assessments, the initial results are encouraging.� To conclude my report, there have been many new laws enacted that will impact on the case load of municipal courts.� However, the one law most are familiar with is DWI or driving while intoxicated.� Effective January of this year the law was amended to lower the blood alcohol content for a DWI conviction from .10% to .08%.� It is not clear yet what long term effect the new law will have on the DWI case load of the municipal court.

RESOLUTION NO. 11

WHEREAS,� on March 24, 2004, a decision was entered in the U.S. District Court in the case of American Trucking Associations, et al. v. Christine Todd Whitman invalidating State regulations requiring 102 inch wide trucks and double trailer-truck combinations to use only New Jersey�s National Network, the New Jersey Turnpike and the Atlantic City Expressway when they were engaged purely in interstate commerce; and

WHEREAS,� in striking down the regulations, the Court itself stated that the regulations have resulted in fewer truck accidents on New Jersey roads and that said regulations serve a �legitimate state purpose�; but found them to unnecessarily discriminatory against Interstate commerce; and

RESOLUTIONS & ORDINANCES (CONT)

WHEREAS, we disagree with the Court�s holding, and, to the contrary, find that the regulations properly balance safety and interstate commerce interests, by keeping large trucks on the roads that were built to handle them, while still allowing for safe reliable, and efficient interstate transport, and;

WHEREAS, only the current regulations imposing the truck ban can serve the compelling state interest of road safety as effectively, and therefore should be upheld;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we commend and support the decision of Governor McGreevey to appeal the decision of the U.S. District Court in the case of American Trucking Associations et. al. v.

�� WHEREAS, George Washington stepped down after two terms in office in his Farewell Address, September 19, 1796, President Washington said �The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government.� But the Constitution which at all times exists, �till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People is sacredly obligatory upon all.�

�� WHEREAS,� George Washington died December 14, 1799, upon his death, President John Adams said �His example is now complete, and it will teach wisdom and virtue to magistrates, citizens, and men, not only in the present age, but in future generations, as long as our history shall be read.�

�� NOW, THEREFORE, I, Gregg David, Mayor, do hereby proclaim February 22^nd, George Washington day in the Borough of Kenilworth and encourage all citizens to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions and faith of this great American.
