Regular Council Meeting � June 13, 2007 ����������������������� ����������������������� ����������� Page 2

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

Councilwoman Fiamingo reported the Finance Committee met a few weeks ago to discuss Capital Projects. Additional information from the engineers is required in order to make recommendations regarding infrastructure improvements such as streets, etc. The Finance Committee has recommended to council that the Fire Department�s request for a new truck to replace an aging and unreliable engine be adopted and accepted and they are� waiting for� additional information on an estimate.� They are recommending� it� be financed through the Union County Improvement Authority.� There is a Resolution on this evening to authorize the Tax Collector to send out estimated tax bills.� The State has not adopted their budget and we are waiting for a response to the Extraordinary Aid Application. Tonight we have a second reading for the adoption of an Ordinance putting aside monies for an engineer to review the issue of a sewer authority and assuming the Ordinance is passed this evening we will be hiring the firm of Grotto Engineering.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

Councilman Pugliese reported� over the past three weeks the DPW have been working on fixing potholes, curbside brush removal, cleaning sanitary sewer lines, picking up and sweeping garbage along the Boulevard and cleaning Borough Parks, paths and dead-end streets. They are also painting the cross walks on the north side of town. They will be starting the south side of town in approximately two weeks.� The sewer truck is being repaired and in the meantime they will be using the Roselle Park sewer truck. Six DPW workers will be helping at Kenilworth�s Centennial Celebration this coming Saturday. The American flags along the Boulevard are in bad shape and in the near future they should be replaced.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Councilman Taylor read a report from the Police Chief�s monthly report of May, 2007.� The trailer the town applied for from the Federal Government is now in our possession.� It is being lettered this week and will be in service as a mobile command vehicle shortly. Last week Borough Officials and the Chief met with FEMA in an attempt to be reimbursed for costs associated with the April Nor�easter and it appears as if the repairs to the Detective Bureau trailer roof will be covered.� All residents who had their homes pumped out by the Fire Department during the storm were sent letters informing them of FEMA assistance.� The deadline for registering with FEMA for assistance is June 25^th.� This past week the Borough has suffered from a rash of residential burglaries. Residents are urged to make their homes appear to be occupied when leaving.� Also, the Police Department is asking that they be called immediately if� anything appears to be the least bit suspicious in their neighborhood. The police would much rather check out something or someone that turns out to be nothing, then not get called, only to find out later that a home has been burglarized and someone neglected to call.� As everyone is aware, this Saturday is the Borough�s Grand Centennial Parade. Residents are urged to walk to the parade as the Boulevard will be closed from 10:00 AM until approximately 3:00 PM.� Union County Police Officers will be directing traffic while our department marches in the parade.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION & WELFARE

Councilman Taylor had nothing to report as he is in between meetings.� Councilman Taylor reported he attended the Senior Awards Ceremony,� on behalf of the Mayor, and presented scholarships on behalf of the Pride in Kenilworth Committee and the Recreation Committee.

He stated there were five veterans and one fire exempt that applied for licenses and have been told they cannot sell items at the parade.� Mr. Zoeller indicated he did not know if the Mayor realized that under the State statute they must be issued licenses. There was a court case in Washington Township in 2002 on this matter and that case was settled out of court.� Acting Mayor Taylor stated he would relay the message to the Mayor and he advised Mr. Zoeller to call the clerks office tomorrow.�
