PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE #1353-18: BOND ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS IN AND BY THE BOROUGH OF CALDWELL, IN THE COUNTY OF ESSEX, NEW JERSEY, APPROPRIATING $2,400,000 THEREFOR AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $2,280,000 BONDS OR NOTES OF THE BOROUGH TO FINANCE PART OF THE COST THEREOF Moved by Councilman Lace, seconded by Councilman Rodgers. Discussion Ensued. On roll call, Council President Hauser, Councilman O’Donnell, Capozzoli, Rodgers & Lace voted in the affirmative. Councilman Cole abstained. Ordinance Adopted 07/17/17. OPEN PUBLIC COMMENTS ON RESOLUTIONS Moved by Councilman Lace, seconded by Councilman Rodgers, open meeting to the Public. Council President Hauser commented on Resolution 7-144 the issue as it relates to the operating sewer utility. This document has to do with the execution of formal written contract with the municipalities and he wanted to be on record that they have been trying for a number of years and have tried a number of means to get those communities to sign the document. Also, the internal controls over parking meter collections, his understanding was that the Parking meters empty the change into a machine and Paul responded that there are cartridges inside and the cartridges comes out and that goes into the box and turns so he isn’t touching the money. There might be some that do not have that and we will need to take a look at that. Councilman Lace asked about Park Mobile and he heard that they would be in place as of July 1st is there an update and Mayor Dassing responded that the holdup was you could have a bunch of different codes and Sgt. Pellegrino went out and determined that the codes we would have is one for each street. There are stickers that go on each meter and the personal will need to be trained and we should be able to announce it at the end of July. Councilman Cole responded that there is a section related to pension plans and there was a note that the State of New Jersey had contributed $59,000.00 which is less than the contractually required contribution of $144,000.00 is this a normal thing that the State of New Jersey is in the rears for contributing to the retirement plan and the Mayor responded that you would probably have to ask our CFO he would know. Councilman Hauser responded that as it relates to 7-139, to be consistent, the stop sign at the bottom of the intersection of Hatfield and Forest he travels that way many times and stops there he look both ways there is no obstructions that he sees. As in virtually all the other stop signs that have been added in the past he does not see the need of it. Councilman Lace responded that the criteria used to determine as to whether or not 4 way stops are warranted it specifically lists ten (10) accidents in a year and he believes that the intersection has met that criteria. Greg Mascera responded that for the record he is not sure that there is an average over a three year



Page 2 of 4 period that according to Mr. Beckmeyer because of the more frequent incidents last year it brought that average up he doesn’t believe that it is ten accidents; it’s not ten in one year. This is not a criteria as far as he knows. RESOLUTIONS – CONSENT AGENDA 7-137: AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERMIT FOR CANVASSER/SOLICIT OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICATION FILED.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS: Council President Lace reported on the Environmental Commission and they would like to thank the Council for the opportunity to present the film Plastic Ocean on June 19th. There was a photograph taken at the Pollinator Garden with Mayor Dassing and the Environmental Commission that show cased their work done over the past few months in the garden. An Open Space subcommittee has discovered that the open space data in the 2017 Master Plan Reexamination was outdated and as a result the open space map and the reexamination report are not accurate. The Commission has noted that the open space plan needs to be updated every ten years and it needs to be accurate in order to qualify for the next round of open space funding at the end of this year. The Commission would like to know, is it the Council, Planning Board or Environmental Commission who would update the open space plan and how would it be initiated. Greg Mascera responded that the Planning Board should have input if it is going to amend the Master Plan. The Planning Board should create that amendment. Councilman Lace continued the Commission unanimously passed resolution to support any state legislating efforts to ban the sale of single use plastic bags in New



Page 3 of 4 Jersey because of the proven long lasting harm with disposable plastics on the overall environment. The Commission would like to present to the Council at the August meeting the environmental benefits, the economic savings, the public safety enhancements and the testimony of surrounding municipalities in support of an ordinance amendment that requires all leaves to be put out and picked up by the Borough in the fall and to be placed in bio-degradable bags. Councilman Cole responded that he is on the tree committee and there was a property on Highview where the Homeowner wanted to remove some trees in the back of his property and he was stunned that no one could prove who owned that land. The tree committee could not approve the application because there was no information on who owned that property. Paul Carelli responded that it was not approved because he wanted to cut trees down that were not on his property. Discussions Ensued. REPORT OF MAYOR: Ann Dassing reported that last week the Mayor, Mark Guiliano and Mr. Legow attended a meeting. Mr. Legow wanted to update them on what was being done at Carlyle Towers. We had received a couple of complaints where the air conditioning was off for a few hours over the July 4th weekend. They had two elevators go down almost simultaneously and there were some complaints of the construction going on in the parking deck in the back. It was said in the complaint that both back doors were locked and there was no means of egress and that isn’t allowed. They have instituted in the last month a one call system where they call everyone and let them know when something isn’t working. Also, the air conditioning being out was a result of a power failure and when it came back on there was a power surge which caused the problem. There is a problem with getting parts for the elevator and they are serviced monthly by American Elevators. As far as the parking deck they are working on four sections and they will be done by January. The Mayor thanked the Caldwell Police Department for working with the owner and the superintendent for allowing tenants to park on Prospect and Highview overnight. They have reserved seven parking spots for people in the building that need to be on the parking deck and close to the door. They are really putting their best foot forward which she was happy to hear and she thought that everyone would like to know that. NEW BUSINESS:

1. Parking/Councilman Rodgers Councilman Rodgers reported that it came up at the last meeting about the parking issues. Greg Mascera had mentioned about establishing a parking authority to specifically look at the issues that we have in our town. He attended a Planning Board meeting and there was an application for a site plan which turned into a discussion on parking. He had a discussion with Council President Hauser and a Planning Board member after the meeting in regards to possibly hiring a consultant that can solve some of our problems. Greg Mascera responded that there is a fair amount of work involved, if you want to create a parking authority. The Mayor would establish a committee to do the study and you could authorize that committee to hire a consultant if you wish rather than establishing a formal statutory authority. Mayor Dassing responded that she did receive a proposal from a parking deck consultant and this was generated via one of the Planning Board members. The Mayor thought that maybe tonight we could vote to authorize the Borough Administrator to advertise for RFP’s for Parking Consultants. Councilman Lace responded that he has been emailing with various persons throughout the town about some efforts that merchants are trying to do and one is get the Merchants Association up and running. He spoke to one prominent merchant downtown and he stated that the number one issue for merchants is parking. Councilman Hauser spoke about the applicant at the Planning Board meeting for the bank on the corner of Personette and Bloomfield Avenue and his issue with the parking and with that bank there is a need for 50 parking spaces and there clearly are not 50 spaces available. They have been promised 9 parking spots in the Diner parking lot and 21 spots in the Smull Avenue lot. Councilman Rodgers responded that fairness to the developer 21 parking spots will be behind the building and then some from the American Legion and some at Jacks and some in the back of the diner. Mayor Dassing responded that keeping in mind with that it is during the week from 8:00AM – 6:00PM and after that the parking spots are open. Discussions Ensued. Paul Carelli responded that as far as the parking deck at the Community Center, Glenn has bid specs completed and we will go out to bid to repair the section that is currently not being used. We approved a capital ordinance tonight to do the funding for a lot of things and that being one of the things that is included. 7-147: RESOLUTION TO ADVERTISE AND RECEIVE PROPOSALS FOR A PARKING CONSULTANT IN THE BOROUGH OF CALDWELL Moved by Council President Hauser, seconded by Councilman Rodgers. Discussions Ensued. On roll call, all voted affirmative. Resolution approved 07/17/18. REPORT OF ADMINISTRATOR: Paul Carelli reported:

• We hired a new violations clerk to work in the court office with Leanne. • He met with Rosemarie, John Hamer and Mario to discuss the shut down for the Community Center.

They are expecting to shut down the day after Labor Day and we are putting together a list of things that need to be addressed. Some items are rebuilding canopies around the building, fixing the caps on the roof for the leakage the towers leak they were never done correctly, acid washing the pool



Page 4 of 4

deck and re-grouting areas of that, checking all the lighting, cleaning vents, repair the current and recoat the gym floor.

• He received an email from the Local Finance Board and the State has increased school aid to certain districts and they are giving the school until Friday to decide whether or not that the additional aid will go towards reducing the tax levy. For Caldwell/West Caldwell School District it appears that they are getting an additional 466,000.00 of State Aid. If they actually gave that money back and reduced the levy the average home in Caldwell will see a decrease in their school tax about $30.00.

• The Chief had expressed a desire to acquire a drone and four or five towns were to get together and purchase this drone and everyone would share it and he thinks our cost was $6,000 or $7,000. A Company came in and gave us a nice demonstration and we could by our own for $10,000. The Chief has met with the Rotary and they would offer money to buy that as a security for the Street Fair.

Councilman Hauser asked about a significant amount of pot holes and he is wondering if there is a schedule to fix some of those pot holes. He asked about the house on Ward that is in disrepair and Mayor Dassing responded that it is bank owned and Mark Guiliano has been on top of it.

• Street signs will be going up. Councilman Lace asked Paul about the stickers on Bloomfield Avenue and you said that you would reach out to Patricia and Paul responded that the county will not remove the stickers. Councilman Lace was walking between Forest and Park and he noticed stickers on public parking and street signs so if the county isn’t going to do anything can we have code enforcement do this. Paul responded that anything on the parking meter he could have Bob Sullivan take care of that and he will talk to Mark Guiliano if it is on private property. Councilman Hauser responded that if the Caldwell Merchants Association gets back together they organize a volunteer day and that would be a great thing for them to do. Councilman Cole responded that some merchants asked about the loose bricks that are between the sidewalk and the curb and who is responsible for those and Greg Mascera responded that it is a county right away but the property owners are responsible for the maintenance of the property from the front of the building to the street. Councilman Cole responded that the question he got was “I didn’t put these bricks there so can I take them out and put in concrete” and Mr. Mascera responded that if your responsible for it as long as it conforms to the safety codes he doesn’t think there is an obligation to replace it with brick. Mayor Dassing suggested that they replace it with stamp concrete and be the same color as the brick. Greg Mascera responded that there should be an ordinance in place with regard to right away on Bloomfield Avenue because you say color you don’t want people going out and all of a sudden there is a pink sidewalk or blue sidewalk. We should regulate it would be cement of the same color make it a uniform requirement. Councilman Lace asked Paul if he heard back from Chris Battaglia about our status on the User Friendly Budget about the Council part-time for being on file with the state it says full-time instead and Paul responded he did not. REPORT OF BOROUGH ATTORNEY: Gregory Mascera reported that he followed up with Mr. Jemas with regards to the status of the Caldwell University agreement if you recall we agreed to merge the two documents and we have heard nothing. The Mayor has asked that we have something in place before the University starts their fall season. Paul received a letter from Mr. Toscano indicating that the Borough and all its employees and members of the Governing Body have been directed not to delete any emails, any written notes etc. with regards to any incident that might relate to Officer Jessica Luszcz. Mr. Toscano has indicated that he has been obtained by that officer and that she has been discriminated against the Police Chief and by members of the Governing Body and Supervisors in Caldwell. He has not sent Title 59 Notification letter to sue and he expects that shortly and any other discussions will be in executive session. We have not heard back from any municipalities with regard to the status of sewer agreement. Paul did hear from West Caldwell they had some requests for information that was provided. The July 1st deadline has past and Paul will notify the users of municipalities that there will be no sewer connection permits issued until such time the agreements are executed. Councilman O’Donnell responded that when we met in May we had agreed that the attorney’s representing the Borough and the Chief would give monthly updates, it has been two months. We had an agreement that they would give us a monthly update and then they would attend a meeting every quarter so we have missed two monthly updates and Greg responded that he will speak with them and set up a meeting in August. OPEN PUBLIC MEETING – AGENDA ITEMS ONLY Max Time: 3min per speaker

Members of the public are invited to comment ONLY on items discussed during the meeting.

Moved by Councilman Lace, seconded by Councilman Capozzoli to open meeting to the Public. There being no additional business to be conducted a motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Councilman O’Donnell, seconded by Councilman Capozzoli unanimously affirmed by all members present, the meeting was adjourned at 8:11PM.

TITLE:

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LAND CONSERVANCY OF NEW JERSEY TO DEVELOP AN UPDATED OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN FOR THE BOROUGH OF CALDWELL FOR AN AMOUNT OF $10,000 TO BE FUNDED WITH THE BOROUGH’S OPEN SPACE TRUST FUND

WHEREAS, with the creation of a dedicated source of tax revenue ("Open Space Trust") for the acquisition

of open space, a need exists to retain the services of an open space preservation consultant whose staff members have technical expertise and experience in the field of open space and farmland preservation and stewardship; and

WHEREAS, The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve

and protect open space for natural, historic, agricultural and recreational purposes and to assist municipalities in the stewardship of open space lands; and,

WHEREAS, the Borough of Caldwell desires to develop an updated Open Space and Recreation Plan; and, WHEREAS, The Land Conservancy of New Jersey is qualified to prepare an updated Open Space and

Recreation Plan; and WHEREAS, The Land Conservancy of New Jersey will provide the updated Open Space and Recreation Plan

for a fee of $10,000 under the terms of the attached agreement. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Caldwell hereby authorize as follows: 1. The Mayor and Borough Administrator are hereby authorized and directed to execute the attached Agreement with the Land Conservancy of New Jersey, which agreement shall be maintained on file with the Borough Clerk and be available for public inspection.

2. The $10,000 cost of the updated Open Space and Recreation Plan is be funded with the Borough of Caldwell’s Open Space Trust Fund.

SCOPE OF WORK – BOROUGH OF CALDWELL

OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN UPDATE

An Open Space and Recreation Plan is a comprehensive document that focuses and guides local open space preservation and land management programs. The Land Conservancy of New Jersey follows the NJDEP Green Acres Program requirements for format and content for a municipal Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP) to ensure the municipality will qualify for state funding for land acquisition. Green Acres requires that an OSRP must have been re-examined within the past 10 years and adopted as an amendment to the Master Plan. Caldwell Borough’s 2007 Open Space and Recreation laid the groundwork for its open space program and allowed it to access funding through the Green Acers program. Updating the report will incorporate the current open space objectives of the municipality. In addition, the Borough can submit the updated Plan to Sustainable Jersey as a qualifying action as part of its certification application this September.

The Open Space and Recreation Plan Update includes the following sections:

1. Executive Summary 2. Open Space Goals and objectives of the community are evaluated and updated 3. Inventory of the currently protected open space and undeveloped lands 4. History of the Open Space Program including expenditures made and grants received 5. Community Meetings to determine the goals and public need for open space 6. Planning Review of new and updated state, county, and local plans for program information 7. Preservation Recommendations and strategies to identify properties in need of preservation 8. Maps using ArcGIS to determine priority lands for preservation and restoration 9. Action program for open space protection over a period of five years

All maps in the document will be updated to reflect current tax assessment data. The Land Conservancy will work closely with Borough officials to ensure the Plan meets the open space goals of the Borough.

As part of our service, we will facilitate up to two public meetings as recommended by NJDEP Green Acres for the Plan Update. Staff will attend up to four meetings in the Borough, including the public meetings. To meet Green Acres standards the Plan is required to be adopted as a part of the Master Plan.

Deliverables Maps done by The Land Conservancy of New Jersey are on an ArcGIS 10.6 mapping platform. This software allows the environmental data to be layered and visualized with greater diversity and accuracy. Maps include:

Natural and Cultural Resource Maps (up to 4) Preserved and Public Lands Map identifying recreation and cultural features Open Space Map Greenway Map

The Land Conservancy can start the Plan immediately and a draft will be ready for review within four to six months. All maps, figures and tables in the document will be updated to incorporate the most current data. If the Borough requires other information to be included in the Plan, above what is within this proposal, the costs may change. The Land Conservancy will deliver one hard copy of the final report. An electronic copy of the draft and final reports will be sent via an internet link so it may be downloaded directly to the user’s computer.

OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN UPDATE

FEE: $10,000

Scope of Work and Fee submitted June 29, 2018. The Land Conservancy will honor the fee schedule we submitted to the Borough on March 23, 2018. .

Work to commence upon approval of the Borough.

August 3, 2018 VIA EMAIL/USPS Mr. Paul M. Carelli, Administrator Borough of Caldwell One Provost Square Caldwell, NJ 07006 Re: 2018 Water Main Improvements Borough of Caldwell, NJ Crew Proj. No.: CLD015.2B*Bid Dear Mr. Carelli: Bids were received by the Borough of Caldwell on July 31, 2018 for the construction of the 2018 Water Main Improvements. Seven bids were received by the Borough, ranging from a low of $1,049,513.20 up to $1,296,531.85, as noted in the attached Bid Tabulation. Crew Engineers, Inc.’s (Crew) estimate for this project was $1,235,035.00. A mathematical review of the bids received indicates that there were mathematical errors in three of the bids received, which affected the relative positioning of the bids. However, the relative positioning of the two lowest bids were not affected. The two lowest bids were checked for accuracy and completeness; other bids were not. The two lowest bids are as follows:

1. John Garcia Construction Co., Inc. (Garcia) $1,049,513.20 2. MSP Construction Corp. (MSP) $1,081,310.00

We found the bids submitted by Garcia, the apparent low bidder, and MSP to be complete as submitted. In accordance with the requirements of the Department of Labor, we have reviewed the August 1, 2018 list of contractors in violation of the Prevailing Wage Act prepared by the New Jersey Department of Labor, and have ascertained that the two lowest bidders are not on this list and are, therefore, not prohibited in this regard from receiving a Public Works Contract award. Garcia listed numerous recently completed projects of similar nature to the above-referenced project. Crew has worked with Garcia in the past on several water system improvement projects, including the Linwood Terrace Water Main Replacement for the Borough. Garcia’s performance in the past was considered satisfactory.

Mr. Paul Carelli August 3, 2018 Page 2 Crew has worked with MSP in the past on several water system improvement projects, including the Erwin Place Water Main Replacement for the Borough. MSP’s performance in the past was considered satisfactory. Garcia’s Surety, Colonial Surety Company, is listed as an approved Surety Company by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance. Garcia listed three subcontractors for the project: Statewide Striping Corp., Carner Bros., and Riverview Paving, Inc. Garcia submitted their and their subcontractors’ State of New Jersey Business Registration Certificates. Based on the foregoing, Crew recommends that the construction of the 2018 Water Main Improvements project be awarded to Garcia, subject to the Borough Attorney’s review and approval of the original Bid Documents. The Bid Bonds for the three lowest bidders should be held by the Borough until the Contract is executed. Very truly yours, CREW ENGINEERS, INC.
