           ABSENT:  BOSSI

           ALSO PRESENT: MAYOR LARSON, TERRY F. BRADY, ATTORNEY AND GAIL            WETMORE, RMC

 

The Mayor began by talking about the Environmental Commission.  The Mayor is going to be the Planning Board Representative and Councilwoman Reynolds had given Gail a list of people and Scott Sharpless was one of them.  The Mayor thought he would be excellent.   Scott said he had only heard about it 5 minutes ago and was thinking on it. The mayor went on to say we do not know what it entails at this time. Will they be telling the towns what to do?  Councilwoman Reynolds said that they have no muscle – all they can do is suggest.  The Mayor than wanted to discuss the feasibility study.  He asked if anyone had looked at the North Haledon decision.  Councilwoman Reynolds said what it shows is that the wealthiest town is not going to contribute as much as they were.  They made it a little more equal.  Made it fairer.  They are looking for 75% more in state funding to make up for it.  Councilman Warr asked if the 75% is a wish list.  Dottie said the State Commissioner of Education is asking the state based on the decision.  Councilman Warr said he understood it is based on 2/3 ratables and 1/3 student ration.  Councilwoman Reynolds said she read in the paper were Stafford is looking to put 500 new homes where the landfill is.  Councilman Warr said isn’t there a meeting on February 8th? The Mayor said there was and he wanted to know what we are looking to do.  Are we looking to reduce taxes by a huge amount for LBI residents?  Are we looking for more representation?  What are we looking for?  Dottie said not a huge amount of reduction.  She also felt it was very unfair the way the press is reporting this issue.  They are saying the Stafford is poor and all of LBI is rich.  She said there are people who will not be able to stay who have children who will not be able to live on LBI and see their children grow up and go to school here if school taxes keep going up.  We pay more for school and county taxes than we do for Barnegat Light taxes. She said we just want to have a study.  Councilman Howard said the study is really to decide how awe are going to sue the state in order to get this changed.  Councilman Spark said the study is mandated.  Can’t have a referendum without a study.  Councilman Howard said wonderful – great – why bother with a referendum. Councilwoman Reynolds said you’re saying my mind is already made up – don’t confuse me with the facts.  Harry said do you think a study is going to come up with the facts?  Councilwoman Reynolds said  you will certainly more facts than now.  George said he wanted to wait to see what comes out of this meeting.  The Mayor mentioned that Stafford just had a reval.  Councilwoman Reynolds said the people in Barnegat Light requested this – do we represent them?  Councilman Howard still wants to see a statement of work.  The Mayor said if we don’t vote tonight we walk into the meeting on February 8th and we haven’t voted yet.  Do we stand a better chance?  Councilman Warr said the issue has forced this meeting.  Councilman Morrison said we have approved the funds for this study in our budget.  He doesn’t understand the difference between voting tonight or voting at the February Council meeting.  George said as a result of the meeting we may not have to take a vote in February.  The situation may be on the way to solution. Councilman Morrison said Mayor Block is a big mover in this meeting.  There are three methods  and he is open to discussion.  Councilman Howard said maybe we can solve the problem if we all sit down.  Again the Mayor asked what do we want?  Reduce taxes, representation, sending district?  What do you want?  Last month there were 50 people in the audience saying we want taxes reduced and we want to be a sending district. Councilman Morrison said he did not see the necessity of doing this tonight. (voting) He wanted to see what happens after the February 8th meeting.  He said he will be here for the February meeting.  Councilman Warr said that meeting could end the issue or unite everybody. Councilman Morrison said that this is what the people want - we are still are able to afford them what they want – more intelligent decision.  Let’s listen to what these people at the meeting have to say. On a motion by Morrison, seconded by Howard there was a brief recess.

 

THE REGULAR MEETING of the Mayor and Council was called to order by  Mayor Larson at 8:05pm at the Borough Hall, on West 10th Street.  He stated that adequate notice of this meeting has been provided in accordance with the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act by posting a copy of the notice of this meeting on the bulletin board in the Borough Hall on January 3, 2005 and by mailing a copy of the notice to the Beach Haven Times and the Asbury Park Press, newspapers designated by Mayor and Council on January 3, 2005 to receive such notice, and by filing a copy of the notice with the Borough Clerk on January 3, 2005.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT HEARING:   MEETING OF JANUARY 19, 2005

 

Gail Wetmore explained that we were not in the loop for block Grant this year, but since Harvey Cedars is not asking for a great amount (we take turns with them in order to get more money) we can apply for something. Gail’s thoughts were for us to get two Beach Wheels and umbrellas for all our Beach Wheel Chairs.  Councilwoman Reynolds asked if we could apply for things that we need to do for the Handicap Law Suit Settlement. On a motion by Warr, seconded by Reynolds and carried by all the hearing was opened.  Being no comments from the public, on a motion by Warr, seconded by Morrison and carried by all, the hearing was closed. 

 

CABLE TV HEARING:

 

The Administrator introduced Rob Clifton of Comcast Cable and congratulated him on his recent Freeholder appointment in Monmouth County!  Mr. Clifton said that Comcast is now nearing the end of its3 year Federally mandated renewal process.  Upon the close of the public hearing the town will have 30 days to issue a consent ordinance or resolution of denial.  The time frame is flexible as long as both the municipality and the company are continuing to talk.  If granted, Comcast would then have 30 days to file with the State of New Jersey for a renewal of their certificate of approval.  He said the consent ordinance that Comcast is seeking is not a contract that obligates the municipality to do anything except allow Comcast to use our right of way to run their plant along our right of way.  It’s non exclusive – meaning any other cable company can come before the board and ask for the same things that Comcast is asking for.  However, if that does happen, Comcast would ask that their approval be considered on its own merits.  He said that under State and Federal law the governing body must judge the application on 4 criteria.

 

1.          Has the cable operation substantially complied with the terms of the existing franchise agreement?

 

2.          Has the signal been reasonable in light of community needs?

 

3.          Does the operator have the financial, legal and technical capability to provide the service that they say they provide?

 

4.          Is the operators franchise proposal reasonable to meet the future related cable needs of the residents of Barnegat Light?

 

The two areas that the governing body may not judge are as follows:

 

1.         Rates – which are governed by State and Federal laws.

 

2.         Programming – the cable operators content channel line up is the same as protected by the First Amendment and is the same as a newspaper content is protected.

 

That being said, nothing precludes the public or yourselves asking me any questions, Mr. Clifton said. 

 

The Mayor asked for a motion to open the public hearing.  Spark moved to do so, seconded by Howard and carried by all.

 

Harry Selover asked about the rates.  He asked why basic cable can’t be expanded, i.e. he would like to see the History Channel and can’t unless he goes with another package.  Rob Clifton explained that the basic channels are 2 to 29 with the exception of 14 which is HBO.  Basic lineup is regulated – there are “must carries” and it is the Federal Government who regulates that.  There is no wiggle room – it’s the law. People wonder why there are Spanish Channels – it is because they broadcast from antennas and that goes for the new Atlantic City Channel. Harry also asked about the escalating cost of cable and was told that is due to programming costs, the fact that they keep an office in Ship bottom and a full crew on the Island 24 hours a day.  Where is the channel guide and will it ever come back.  Maybe – there is no room for it at this time.  They are working on a plan.  Councilman Morrison asked if it was 8 to 1 not to do this.  Mr. Clifton said the odds are better than that for a plan.  Councilman Spark asked what is between 78 and 96 and was told that is for Data – i.e. the internet, digital signals, move signals back and forth. Dottie asked if there could be smaller packages and that is not possible due to the cost.  Advertisers look at the number of subscribers.  Also, the system was updated when Comcast bought it from A T and T at the cost of 2 and a half million dollars on the Island.  We now have a fiber optic cable across the bay.  Before the signal bounced from an antennae.   The Mayor asked why we are not all on the same contract.  We signed later that the other municipalities who happened to sign on the same day.  We signed 3 months later.  On a motion by Warr, seconded by Howard the public hearing was closed.

 

 

COMMITTEE REPORTS:

 

PUBLIC SAFETY:  COUNCILMAN MORRISON asked that the police and court reports be made a part of the minutes.  He is still trying to get a meeting together over the traffic lights.  It has been hard to get Paul Verbe.  We will be doing it and we will have the key to turn it of and on. 

 

FINANCE:  COUNCILMAN WARR said we are having our second budget workshop on Friday at 9am.  He mentioned that the tax collection rate was 98.84 % and the water/sewer was about the same.  Gail Wetmore mentioned that Joan Marcus had done an outstanding job and had gone up over the previous year’s collection rate.  The former tax collector always had excellent collection rates.

 

PUBLIC WORKS:  COUNCILMAN HOWARD said he had misplaced Art’s report and said there is a lot going on in Emergency Management.  You can see him for more information.

 

WATER/SEWER:  COUNCILMAN SPARK asked that the water sewer report be  a part of the minutes.  He mentioned that we are going to raise the water rates this year.  We are also looking at the commercial water rates and trying to make them fairer.  We will have an ordinance on first reading this evening by title only as we are firming up all the changes.

 

BEACHES AND PARKS:  COUNCILWOMAN REYNOLDS had no report.

  

DOCKS AND HARBORS:  COUNCILMAN BOSSI was absent.

 

OPEN PUBLIC SESSION:  On a motion by Spark, seconded by Reynolds and carried by all, the public session was opened. Marilyn Wasilewski asked why the commercial rates were being changed.  Mr. Spark said we are trying to do something with mixed use properties.  Dr. Harry Selover spoke regarding the Southern Regional School District situation.  He offered his credentials and gave an excellent presentation.  This is on tape and in its entirety.  Mike Spark asked why we are not a sending district.  Eric Holden said our children are our future and is not unhappy with what he pays to Southern Regional.  John Schultz, a resident and teacher at Southern is not in favor of the study.  He said he has been a lifeguard here since 1991 and came to live in Barnegat Light because of that.  He and his wife have a baby boy.  On a  motion by Warr, seconded by Howard and carried by all the public portion was closed.
