Prior to the motion for the Guaranty Ordinance to be adopted, Director Shaw opened the meeting

to the public for the public hearing on the ordinance. There were no public comments, and the

Director declared the public hearing closed.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: PUBLIC COMMENTS

Before the Director opened the meeting to the public, he stated that there had been a number of

questions about this body meeting in person and inviting the public, and we are proposing to do

that at our June 23 meeting. It will be open to the public in the Administration Building on the

Fifth Floor; however, we are going to be working with a hybrid model where the public will still

be able to call in to the meeting. He noted that we have done a couple of trials with this and he

hopes everyone will bear with us, but he thinks it will work well.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY 26, 2021 REGULAR MEETING

11 | P a g e

Director Shaw asked Clerk Lynch if she had received any written comments and the Clerk

responded that she had not. He then opened the meeting to the public.

Gabriela Brandeal, 61 North Main Street, Boonton Township had concerns with the

Reproductive Freedom Act and requested that the Board consider passing the same resolution

against it as was done in Sussex County. She also would like to see the County open up the

Library. With regard to the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), she asked that the County

Commissioners no longer take money from them, and then asked what the status of electronic

voting is and whether there has already been implemented a 10-day early voting in November.

Joe Ferrandino of Long Hill asked if the County had received money from the CTCL and if so,

where it was allocated.

Karen and Sal Toto, 4 Cromwell Drive, Morris Township. Sal addressed the Board, noting that

they are 14-year residents and wanted to know if the Board was aware of the problem the

residents are having with the Frelinghuysen Arboretum and the loud and offensive music coming

from an event tent on the weekends. A petition had been circulated and signed by about 70

residents and forwarded to the Board. He asked what the Board’s plans were to help resolve the

issue.

Barbara Eames, 6 Cove Lane Road, Whippany once again expressed her displeasure with the

way the public meetings have been held, and did not know why it would take another month to

open the meetings to the public. She made a formal request to have several commissioners

arrange a time when they could meet with several citizens, as that seems to her to be the only

way to have any meaningful conversation.

Dave Carver, 29 Belleau Avenue, Madison echoed previous comments regarding opening up the

county and concerns with the CTCL and encouraged the Board to take a close look at it and talk

to colleagues in other counties regarding the matter.

William Eames, 6 Cove Lane Road, Whippany expressed his concerns with the CTCL and how

it affects election activity across the country. He has already voiced his concerns to Dale Kramer

and Ann Grossi and urged the County Commissioners to pay attention to the issue and stay with

paper ballots. With regard to opening up the public meetings, he would like to see the first June

meeting open. He then thanked the Board for recognizing the veterans today. He is a veteran

himself and he appreciated it.

Dr. Kathleen Ruddy of Madison was concerned with the Reproductive Freedom Act, stating it is

being funded through a transfer of wealth through the insurance companies to the taxpayers, and

it will end up in the taxpayers’ insurance premiums.

No one else wished to be heard, and the Director closed the meeting to the public.

Director Shaw responded to the concerns as follows:

Relative to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, that is operated by the Park Commission. Executive

Director Dave Helmer has represented to the Board that they will strictly comply with the

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY 26, 2021 REGULAR MEETING

12 | P a g e

ordinances of Morris Township, including the noise ordinance, as any other resident or business

must do, and we will follow up to make sure that is done.

As far as the Library reopening, they have been going through a staged reopening process.

Regarding staff, any staff that was not needed during the pandemic was furloughed.

Administrator Bonanni stated that the Library should be opened fully at some point in June and

will comply with the regulations as directed by the Governor at that time.

As he stated earlier in the meeting, our June 23 meeting will be open to the public in person and

we are setting it up as a hybrid model which the Director feels will improve access to the public

since the public can still dial in. He noted that there is a tremendous amount of logistics to do

this, and eventually we do plan on further technological resources being put into the county to

make access to the public much better.

As far as setting up a meeting in person with the Commissioners, because of the Sunshine Laws,

only three Commissioners are permitted to be together at any given time to talk about policy

issues. He suggested that Ms. Eames reach out to the board members individually and maybe if

a group wants to get together, that could be arranged.

Once again about opening up the county, although it has been in a different format and most of

that is because of executive orders from our governor, the county has been open and operating as

far as delivering the critical services to the citizens of the county. He noted that we seem to be

getting more public input in this virtual setting, but he understands it has its limitations and he

does prefer to operate a meeting in person, and we will be doing that soon.

As far as the voting machines are concerned, we have a Request for Proposals going out because

of the new law with early voting, and that is not our choice, but is dictated by state legislation.

We are going to be, in an open and transparent manner, getting proposals for voting machines

that comply with state law and state directive. As for the 10-day early voting, that again is state

legislation, and that would be for this November’s election.

Regarding the dollars from the CTCL, that is a grant program. He noted that he had just received

a list of how the funds had been spent, and the items simply defray some costs that would usually

be borne by the taxpayer. He noted that anyone requesting the document should go through the

usual OPRA request, but since he has the list, he would be happy to share it upon request.

Relative to the Reproductive Freedom Act, that is a piece of state legislation and it is something

that the Commissioners do not have direct impact on as far as any ability to control it. Our

representatives in the state will look at it. He noted that we have a policy of focusing on the

issues that we have control over as a County Commissioner Board.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS

Deputy Director Smith wished everyone a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, noting

that a lot of restraints have been loosened. She hoped everyone will enjoy the weekend and that

the weather will improve, but also to remember it is Memorial Day and remember what we are

celebrating.

Commissioner Krickus wanted to make a few comments, the first being that we need to make

sure to follow up on the resident issue involving noise, stating that we are known to be very

responsive to our residents and hopes that we can resolve the issue for the residents. The second

comment was to say that over the past year Morris County has led the way in urging the

reopening. We were the first county last year to call for the reopening. Finally, he commented

on the Memorial Day ceremony that we had today and he appreciates all the effort that went into

it. He also noted that last year a couple of members of the administration, he and the sheriff

observed Memorial Day, noting that even with the constraints of the pandemic, we were not

going to let Memorial Day go by without it being observed in Morristown.

Commissioner Cabana stated that he had had a power surge that knocked him off temporarily

and wanted to make sure his vote on the resolution and bills was recorded. He voted yes to all

on the resolutions and yes to the bill resolution. The Clerk recorded his votes.

Commissioner Cabana also echoed the comments about today’s Memorial Day Service, where

we honored those that have made the ultimate sacrifice in preserving our liberty. Now more than

ever, we need to really look at that and appreciate it. He wished everyone a happy Memorial

Day weekend.
