DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

The Finance Committee has received the 2011 Budget Books and will be meeting with the Borough�s Department Heads over the next few weeks to discuss their proposed budgets.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

Councilman Corvelli said as we all know we were hit by two major snow storms within the last two weeks in which we received as much snow as we would have for the whole season.� He said the Department of Public Works did an outstanding job and it is very hard to move 31 inches of snow one day and another ten inches a few days later.� He said minor problems exist and those will be addressed.� He spoke with the County today about the situation on Pembrook Drive and he said it was impossible to take care of the problem on 6^th Street today but it will addressed tomorrow. Curbside brush pick up will start again and they will fill potholes when the ice is gone.� He commended the men for doing a good job with the snow.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

Motion was made by Councilman Pugliese, seconded by Councilman Klinder �to open the meeting to the public.

Mayor Fiamingo pointed out to everyone that the microphone is at the side of the court room in order to address the concerns of the public who would like to see people who are speaking.

John Bury, 417 North 15^th Street � Mr. Bury had a question on Resolution #3 which was Shared Services with the County of Union for printing and signage services.� He said Union County does not have a print shop anymore.� Mayor Fiamingo said they have reopened their print shop. He asked if the Borough will use them for whatever signs they need even if it�s cheaper somewhere else?� The Mayor said they would look into whatever was the cheapest �but at least they have the Shared Services Agreement to see whatever is cheaper. She said we have always used them for the traffic signs and the printing is just being added to the shared services mix.� His second question is for Resolution No. 9 � Shared Service Agreement with County of Union for use of their fuel services in an emergency situation�is that so they can gas up?� The Mayor replied yes.� She said we have a pump by the DPW yard and unfortunately during this kind of weather it goes down so this will allow us to use their facility on 31^st Street.
