THE CLERK stated that the minutes of this meeting are being officially recorded and such tape will be on file in the office of the Borough Clerk and be made a part of these written minutes. 

THE MAYOR turned the meeting over to George Warr, who in turn gave the reigns to T.C. Kay, Chief Financial Officer.  We went over the budget preparation worksheets that she had prepared and a big item of discussion was a letter from Scott Leroux, President of the Barnegat Light Fire Company requesting an additional $10,000 for the Fire Company.  The Mayor said we should do so and everyone concurred.  The Mayor also questioned whether or not there was enough money in Emergency Management.  Gail said that the prosecutor was looking for a bit more money and that she would get in touch with her.  One thousand dollars was added to recycling for printing of specialty stickers that Dave Bossi wants to get.  This was moved from recycling advertising.  There is still a question on Parks and Playgrounds salary and wages.  The next budget workshop will be before the January regular meeting.  T.C. also added extra for utilities because at some point next year we will be occupying two buildings.    

THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE THE COUNCIL, ON A MOTION BY MR. WARR THE MEETING WAS ADJOURNED.
