PRESENTATION
Mayor Fiamingo introduced Assemblywoman Annette Quijano.� Ms. Quijano said the 20th Legislative District has received approximately $850,000.00 from the State Department of Transportation Trust Fund for road improvements throughout their district.� She presented a check for $175,000.00 to the Borough for Kenilworth road improvements.� She said the Municipal Aid Program, administered by the State Department of Transportation is very competitive and it is used to help stimulate the economy.� She said this is done to invest in our local roads and the infrastructure and also helps local taxpayers.� She said you don�t have to increase property taxes to improve the roads.� She said, along with her colleagues Senator Lesniak and Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, she will fight to continue to bring money back to our District.� It is important to bring this money back to help our local municipalities. She said her office is always open for all the residents of District 20 as well as the Mayors of each community.
Mayor Fiamingo said the check and the grant that is represented by the check will be used for improvements to South 31st Street.� She said the check is very much appreciated.� She said Kenilworth is a small community that does as much as it can with the money that is allotted through taxes and the State.� She said the Borough needs every dollar they can get and she said she is here to make sure the taxpayers get the most bang for their buck.� The Mayor extended her sincere thanks to Assemblywoman Quijano Senator Lesniak and Assemblyman Cryan for helping to extend the grant for the public safety building. She said it was to expire at the end of last year and through their efforts it has been expended for a year.�
PRESENTATION
Mayor Fiamingo invited members of Girl Scout Troop 407 to come up to the front of the room.� The Girl Scouts presented a time capsule to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Kenilworth.� They started working on the time capsule in 2007 during Kenilworth�s Centennial year.� The time capsule is part of their bronze award project.� The Girls Scouts presented the time capsule to the Mayor and Council to maintain for the next 50 years.� The time capsule is to be opened in 2057.� The Mayor said she would try and stick around for the opening of the time capsule but she is not sure she will make it but she hopes the Girl Scouts will be present when the box is opened in 2057, even if they have to fly in from France or wherever they may be.� The Girl Scouts said the capsule has pictures of Kenilworth and also the Ordinance celebrating Kenilworth�s 100 years. The time capsule is in a wooden box and has a plaque on the front that says Kenilworth Time Capsule Created by Girl Scout Troop 407.� The Mayor thanked the Girl Scouts and said she will put the time capsule in a very honored spot, most likely in the new public safety building. The Mayor said she appreciated all the hard work that was put into the time capsule.

REPORT OF COMMITTEES
Mayor Fiamingo reiterated the United States Census Bureau has part-time, temporary jobs available.� Anyone who is interested should call 866-861-2010.�
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
Councilman Joho reported the Finance Committee met with the Borough Auditor yesterday to discuss the 2009 budget and like everywhere else, this is going to be a challenging year for Kenilworth.� The Rahway Valley Sewerage bill increased $377,932.00 for this year.� The Boroughs miscellaneous revenue decreased in 2008 by $220,000.00. Unfortunately the Borough does not project that number changing for 2009.� He said those two items alone are a pretty major hit to the budget.� Kenilworth is fully developed and there does not appear to be any signs of expanding the tax base during 2009.� He said the Borough will anxiously await Governor Corizone�s budget proposal and what it will mean in terms of state aid, pension contributions, extraordinary aid, etc. He said the Borough will continue to reduce it�s operating costs where possible. �They are currently reviewing all the operating expense budgets and they will continue to seek out grant opportunities.� He said there is much work to be done and they will continue to provide updates as they work through the process.
Mayor Fiamingo said it is a very difficult situation for the Borough as well as for the State and wherever possible the Borough will call upon their representatives, Senator Lesniak, Assemblywoman Quijano and Assemblyman Cryan as well as the Governor for their assistance.� The Mayor said Kenilworth is a great community and if we all pull together we will get through this difficult time.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Councilwoman Sosnosky had nothing to report.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Councilman Pugliese reported an update for the office of Emergency Management.� In 2008 the OEM responded to approximately 32 calls varying in nature. The OEM responds to calls from the Police Department for assistance in areas such as flooding, trees being in the roadway, etc.� They also assist in events that the Borough sponsors such as the 911 Memorial Service, Fireworks, Fireman�s Carnival, Fishing Derby and the St. Patrick�s Day gathering at the VFW. Councilman Pugliese thanked the members of the OEM who put a lot of time into keeping it going, especially Jonathan Lipke.� He said Police Chief Dowd attended a presentation by the County on the possibility of consolidating 911 services.� Under this program there will be a central center for all 911 calls and then the calls will be dispatched to each individual town.� To be part of that program there would be an upfront cost of $42,000.00 as well as a monthly charge.� He said the Borough is assessing whether they want to be part of the program because they do not know if it is going be a cost saving measure.� They need to make sure it works properly so they do not put their residents at risk. He said other municipalities have had some concerns regarding this program so they do not want to jump into the project without fully analyzing whether it is going to benefit the Borough.� Councilman Pugliese reported the Borough received a grant from the State of New Jersey for $4,000.00 for the Hang Up and Drive Program.� He said the program involves two weeks of strict enforcement of talking on your cell phone while driving law.� Chief Dowd was instrumental in receiving this grant and only 14 municipalities in the State received this grant. The program will take place within the next few weeks and will last about 13 days.� He advised drivers to give up driving and talking on their cell phones for lent.
Mayor Fiamingo added the program is also known as Shut Up and Drive.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING, ZONING & ORDINANCES
Councilman Candarella reminded senior citizens that the Handyman Program is up and running.� He said it has been slow this year and if there are any senior citizens out there who have a small job they need done, they should come up to Borough Hall to fill out an application.
Mayor Fiamingo added there are some income requirements for the Handyman Program.
