MAYOR�S ADDRESS

Mayor Fiamingo welcomed back Councilman Brian Joho and said he has been Finance Chair for the past three years and has done an admirable job.� She also welcomed Peter Corvelli to Council and she looks forward to working with Pete again. The Mayor thanked Assemblyman Cryan for joining us today. She said she knows he has a busy schedule and she appreciates him coming.

2010 was not the most difficult year we have had in the Borough but it was certainly quite challenging.�� The depressed economic conditions experienced throughout the nation affected the Borough as well.�� The governing body pulled together with our department heads and presented a budget with an increase in spending of less than 1%.� I hope that everyone understands just how impressive that is.� The cost of operating this Borough in 2010 increased less than 1% over those costs in 2009.� More importantly, this was achieved without reductions in services to our residents.

����������� Kenilworth taxpayers continue to receive the same services in the Borough for their tax dollars that they have received in years past.� In many other municipalities governing bodies have resorted to cutting services from their municipal budgets to reduce the tax bills, without actually reducing costs to the taxpayers.� In those municipalities, homeowners now pay separately for sewer and garbage fees, have no bulky waste pickups and/or be required to deliver their recycling to community recycling centers, while their tax rates are high and continue to climb.� Kenilworth remains a community with one of the lowest tax rates in the County and with services that other municipalities no longer provide.�

����������� We are also a community of people with impressive accomplishments.� Despite the relatively small size of Kenilworth, in 2010 alone four young men completed the rigorous requirements to achieve Eagle Scout status.�� Zach Kozak, Jeff Jaeckel and Chris Koehler were each elevated to the status of Eagle Scout in 2010.�� Scott Vanek completed his final project and his Eagle Scout Court of Honor will be held later this month.�� The Borough also benefited because several of the young men focused on service projects in Kenilworth for their final Eagle Scout projects, including painting the Recreation Center, the OEM building and installing a victory garden at the Nietschke House.

����������� In 2010 we welcomed Robert Ordway as our Tax Collector/CFO.� Rob jumped into the position with both feet and has been a fantastic addition to the Borough�s team.� Rob�s enthusiasm for his position and his interest in continually improving himself and the Borough is inspiring.� He and his staff in the Finance and Tax Department perform a wonderful job on a daily basis, as do all of the other employees in the Clerk�s office, Construction Department and Municipal Court.� Thanks to the dedication and hard work of all of our staff, the Borough is run efficiently and professionally.

����������� In the Kenilworth Police Department we saw the end of an era with the retirement of Chief William Dowd, a fixture in the department for almost forty years.� With his retirement, came the appointment of a new chief, Kenneth Grady who has hit the ground running, looking to upgrade and improve the department.� He is assisted by members of one of the finest police departments in Union County and the Borough is well-served by them all.

����������� In fact, the blizzard of last week demonstrates just how well served we are by all of our Borough employees.� When workers in other municipalities called in sick or refused to man their positions, the Kenilworth DPW was out in full force during the height of the storm doing their utmost to keep the Borough running.� It was a huge task for which they should be thanked and congratulated.

�����������

Re-Organization Meeting � January 2, 2011������������������������������������������������������������ Page 3

In the coming months we will be unveiling a new web site for the Borough which we believe will serve as a model for all municipalities.� It will significantly reduce the need for the public to make requests under the Open Public Records Act because the new web site will put information available under OPRA at your fingertips without cost to you or the Borough.� This administration believes that the public should not have to ask or pay for general information otherwise available under OPRA.� The new website will achieve that result and more.�� More importantly, it will be completed without cost to the Borough.� I am pleased to announce that the new web site is being designed at no cost to the Borough and will be able to be maintained and updated by Borough employees, eliminating the need to pay an outside contractor for that service.�

����������� We continue to apply and receive various grants for projects throughout the Borough.� We also continue to explore cost cutting measures through shared services and other possible collaborative efforts with the County and other municipalities.� We are currently looking into the possibility of a shared services arrangement for expensive equipment used in Public Works projects.� In the past, we have made arrangements with other municipalities on a project by project basis.� I recently proposed to other Union County municipalities a more formal cooperative situation which we hope will be mutually beneficial to all participants.� We are also utilizing Union County services which may be available to fullest extent possible in order to maximize our County tax dollars as well as minimize duplication of efforts.

����������� With the Governor�s Property Tax initiative, which we fully support, coming into full effect in 2011, we will be looking for additional methods to reduce costs and expenses.� It will be challenging to meet the financial requirements of the new legislation especially if State Aid to the Borough is reduced again.� We are however dedicated to containing costs and spending and to give the taxpayer the most bang for their tax dollar.�

����������� I hope everyone has a better New Year, and one which is happy, healthy and prosperous for all.�

May God bless the United States of America, the Borough of Kenilworth and each and every one of us.

The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak to please step forward, state their name and address for the record.�

Joseph Cryan offered all of Kenilworth residents as well as Council a very Happy and prosperous New Year on behalf of Senator Lesniak, Assemblywoman Quijano and himself.� He said we have faced the challenges of 2010 together and it has been a unique experience and it has also been a very different type of year but today is one of those days we should celebrate the very best.� He said the most enjoyable part of this meeting was celebrating the swearing in of both members of the Council.� He said the residents can be assured that he has been very adamant with the Governor and the Governors front office that we no longer see reductions in State Aid so that Kenilworth can plan their budgets properly with enough time to do so.� He said there will be challenges this year as far as redistricting. Kenilworth is part of the 20^th District in which he has the privilege of representing. He said they are facing the challenges

Re-Organization Meeting � January 2, 2011������������������������������������������������������������ Page 17

of redistricting and some municipalities will go through a change as to what district they will be in and no one will know what district they will be in until the process is finished which should be around the end of March or the beginning of April.� He said their budget challenges will be also be defined in June. He thanked the Mayor for her communications and he congratulated the members of the Council. He said he will continue to see that Kenilworth is well-represented in Trenton.

Mayor Fiamingo thanked Assemblyman Cryan and welcomed the news about his fight to keep our State Aid level.

Motion was made by Councilman Candarella, seconded by Councilman Klinder to close the meeting to the public. All in favor.

COUNCIL COMMENTS

Brian Joho wished everyone a Happy New Year and he hoped everyone enjoys a health, happy and prosperous 2011.� He thanked his wife Kassie and his family for their continued support.� He also thanked everyone who has given him the opportunity to serve on Council for three more years.� He said three years ago he took this same oath of office, it was the start of a challenging and rewarding experience.� In the past three years we faced the worst recession since the Great Depression and have realized the affects of the financially weakened State of New Jersey.� The State reduced our Aid by over six-hundred thousand dollars over the last three years and it is almost a foregone conclusion that the State will not be there financially for Kenilworth in 2011 or anytime in the future.� Towns like Kenilworth need to be able to stand on their own two feet � the State, as a financial crutch, is past history.� The challenges for Kenilworth will be many in 2011 but our biggest challenge will be working under the State mandated 2% Tax Levy CAP � a challenge requiring tough decisions in the coming months.� As we continue to dig-out from the affects of the recession and clear our way through the hurdles affecting all the communities in New Jersey you can be reassured that I will work in the best interest of the residents and tax payers of Kenilworth to maintain a low tax rate while also making sure the essential services performed by this Borough are done efficiently and effectively.� Again, thank you for your support, I look forward to working with Mayor Fiamingo and my fellow Councilmen in 2011 to continue moving this town forward.
