great improvement. Mr. Hall stated that

speaking with Mr. Soetebeer tomorrow.

Councilman

State Police not patroling Lake
Hopatcong. Mr. Zoschak stated that they
assured him that they would be patrolling Lake Hopatcong. Mr. Zoschak also went on a tour of their ROCK
facility (Regional Operation Intelligence
Command Center),
which is a control center for the entire state of New Jersey, which cost billions of dollars
to construct. A total of five to seven
Police Officers work at this ROCK center 24 hours per day every day of the year
gathering and deploying information and they have the authority to deploy
assets without having to get any approvals from a higher authority. The State
Police want a listing of data pertaining to our Police Departments, EMS and Fire so that they can have their information up
to date. Mr. Zoschak stated he would
give Mr. Raths the contact name once he receives it.
Councilman
Zoschak stated that the Landing Sea Wall got approval to be fixed for $1.2
million.
Councilman

Arlington is actively
seeking to share their Court with another Municipality. Mr. Zoschak stated that Mayor Ondish is
interested in sharing this service with Roxbury Township. Mr. Raths stated that he would look into
that.
Councilman
Zoschak reminded everyone that the Neighborhood Meeting is scheduled for this
Wednesday at Fire Company Company #2 Fire House in Landing.
Councilwoman
DeFillippo stated that Mr. Raths made arrangements with the Police to use their
sign trailer to remind citizens of the neighborhood meeting tomorrow.
Councilman
Hall had a recreation meeting last Saturday regarding on-line registration for
the recreation department. This is a big
convenience for the public. Dave Stierli
and Lisa Palmieri met with the vendor to incorporate this on-line registration
in Roxbury. Mr. Raths stated that he
would be recommending this on-line registration in the operating budget for 2007.
Councilman
Ciaramella stated that the Economic Development Committee has a meeting
scheduled for this Thursday, November
30, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. and a Main Street Street Scaping Committee meeting is in
2 weeks. Mr. Raths stated he would send

DPW meeting is coming up. Mr. Ciaramella
also stated that he met a vendor at the League Conference on Shared Services
and it would be no cost to the town because grants are available.
Councilman
Ciaramella stated that a Budget meeting will be held here at Town Hall on
Saturday morning, December 2, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.
Councilman
Ciaramella questioned Mr. Raths if there was any additional information on the
Kenvil Post Office. Mr. Raths stated
that a letter went out to Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen this past Friday and
a copy went out in Communications.
Councilman
Ciaramella stated that he attended Municipal Court for the Smiles hearing on
Monday night and the Judge put out a bench warrant for the arrest of Kevin
Lipka, owner of Smiles.
Councilman
Ciaramella spoke about a deer being left dead for some time on a resident?s

the money and rest of it should be available by the end of the month.
Mr.
Raths stated that he was asked to look into the checks on the bill schedule for
Health coverage for retirees. Mr. Raths
stated that this has been in practice since the 1990?s. If we want to change these contributions we
would have to go into negotiations with the Union.
Mr.
Raths also stated that the Fennimore Landfill property is in the Highlands
Preservation area.
Mr.
Raths stated he spoke to Mr. Saunders of Reger Road about sidewalks going in
and that it was previously discussed in the 1990?s and if the Town wants to put
in sidewalks Mr. Saunders will take us to court.
Mr.
Raths discussed having credit cards in the court and that they are pursuing
this with Ms. Palmieri, Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Kuncken, Information
Technology Director and it will be part of the budget proposal. Mayor Schmidt stated that approximately
$560,000 of uncollected funds is due to the Court. Mr. Raths stated this amount is over the
lifetime of the Court.
Councilman
Rilee stated that of the $563,000 that is owed to the Courts that we would end
up paying roughly 1.5% ? 2% to the
credit card company. Mr. Raths stated
that there is a system now that charges $3.00 per payment and the other option
is for us to do the processing ourselves instead of over the internet.
Councilman
Smith stated that he believed that Mr. Kobylarz in Engineering would first look
at the sidewalk on Reger Road. Mr. Hall stated we should carefully look into
this. Councilwoman DeFillippo questioned
if we have a list of areas where we could use sidewalks, not repair them. Mr. Raths stated he believes we do and our
top priority area is the Lincoln/Roosevelt School to Main Street in Succasunna. Also by Corn Hollow Road to Jefferson School. Mr. Raths stated he can put a list together
for where sidewalks are needed in the town.
Councilman
Zoschak stated that the State could collect fees if the municipality uses
credit cards for a method of payment. Mr. Bucco stated not for Court Costs.
PUBLIC PORTION
Dennis Wine
4 Holly Drive
Succasunna
Mr. Wine stated he was
looking at Ordinance 26-06 on Page 6 of the Agenda and noticed that the Fire
Department President appoints members of the board and wants to know who is in
charge of whom. Mr. Bucco stated that
there is no Fire Department President and that there will be a correction made
to that section of the Ordinance. Mr.
Bucco stated that each Fire Company would do the appointing. The Committee makeup will go from five (5) to
eleven (11).
Mr. Wine also had a question on page 7 of the Agenda. Mr. Bucco stated that in Roxbury Township?s
form of government the Manager, Mr. Raths, has the ultimate authority as the
Public Safety Director and renders
the final decision. Mr. Bucco stated it is not necessary to have
it in the Ordinance but it wouldn?t hurt
to add it so that there is no question
as to who makes the final decision.
Mr. Wine also commented on
page 9 of the Agenda regarding the
appointment of the Fire Police. He asked
if they will have a valid driver license prior to the date of appointment. Mr. Wine is concerned about the wording
because it states ?prior to the date of appointment.? Mr. Bucco stated he would change the
wording to include ? to have a valid drivers license at the time of
appointment and time of service.?
MATTERS REQUESTED/REFERRED
BY COUNCIL MEMBERS, MANAGER, ATTORNEY OR CLERK
A. Renewal County Lease with Morris and Erie
Railroad ? Mr. Raths stated that the lease with the Morris & Erie Railroad
comes up in the year 2007 and he will ask the County via a letter to look at
issues and concerns and make sure to send a draft letter for Council to review
before being mailed out. Mr. Smith
stated he had a conversation with three different Freeholders about one year
ago and not one of them were aware of any problems that Roxbury Township had
with the Morris and Erie Railroad and that we really do need to lobby our
representatives so they know what is going on.

INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSED ORDINANCES
26-06 An ordinance amending and supplementing
Chapter II, Administrative code, section 2-9, Fire department, and providing
for rules and regulations for the organization of the volunteer fire department
of the Township of Roxbury and establishing a new section 2-20, Fire police.
Councilman Zoschak made a
motion to move Ordinance 26-06 for discussion.
Councilman Ciaramella seconded the motion.

Motion Carried 7 ? 0
Mr. Zoschak questioned the
Chief of Police and the Fire Department who were present at the meeting if they
had any objections to this Ordinance.
There were no objections.
Mr. Zoschak questioned the
Fire Department also about a five mile radius from the Township of Roxbury in
order to be a member of the Roxbury Township Fire Department and if we ever had
any members that are within a five miles of Roxbury.
Mr. William Egbert, Chairman
of the Resolution Committee stated that yes they do have members that no longer
live in the Township of Roxbury, but have moved out and were trained and the 5
mile radius is a fair compromise. Mr.
Zoschak stated that his concern is a Firefighter traveling on the roads for
five miles with their blue light on with all the heavy traffic. Mr. Egbert stated that in some instances it
actually takes Firefighters living in the town longer to get where they are
going. Mr. Bucco stated that more towns
are going to a radius outside of their borders to have a sufficient amount of
coverage. Mayor Schmidt questioned how
many members are in this five-mile radius.
Mr. Egbert stated that he could not answer that at this moment. Mr. Egbert stated that there is a provision
in the Ordinance that grandfathers existing firemen that do not meet the
five-mile radius.
Mr. Bucco stated there is a
mistake on page 6 of the Agenda. There
is no Fire Department President as is stated on page 6 of the Ordinance.
Each Fire Company will appoint their own Captain with at least five
years of experience and the Board should be increased from five (5) members to
eleven (11) members in total.
Mr. Bucco also stated that a
change needs to be made on page 7 of the
Ordinance. The Ordinance at viii
should now state, ?the decision of the board of inquiry may be
appealed to the Township Manager by the aggrieved party. The Manager?s decision on appeal shall be
final and binding.?
Councilman Hall questioned
Mr. Bucco if the Manager has to be involved in any firings or appeals. If someone files an appeal to the Manager
then yes he would be involved and his decision would be final.
A discussion took place regarding the
Fire Police and who has
jurisdiction over a situation.
Council questioned the wording of this Ordinance. Mr. Bucco stressed that the Fire Police
Officer is under the ?supervision? of the Police Officer.
Adam Alberti, Chief of Fire
Company #1 and Peter Braxton, Chief of Fire Company #3 stated that the Fire
Department has an older crowd. Mr.
Alberti stated that the older fire fighters are mainly for directing traffic or
crowd control. Mr. Alberti stated he
would have an operating guideline as to what the duty of the Fire Police
Officer would be.
Chief Noll stated he has no
problem with Ordnance 26-06.
Councilman Ciaramella
questioned Section 2-20.2, which states
?without compensation from the Township.?
Mr. Bucco stated that it means that they get no additional
compensation for their appointment as Fire Police Officer ? it is strictly
volunteer.
Councilwoman DeFillippo
questioned if the Fire Police are eligible for LOSAP points ? Council stated
yes, even though they are not compensated monetarily.
Councilman Hall questioned
item k on page 4 of the Ordinance. Mr. Bucco stated that this wording comes out
of the New Jersey Regulations for appointments to Fire Departments to ensure
there is no discrimination. Mr. Egbert
added that the Roxbury Township Fire Department belongs to the New Jersey
Firemen?s Association and being a member requires that any new member be
approved by the governing body. Mr.
Bucco stated this is also for insurance coverage purposes.
Councilman Zoschak made a
motion to move Ordinance 26-06 for introduction with the changes previously
discussed. Councilman Smith seconded the
motion.

Motion Carried 7 ? 0
27-06 An ordinance authorizing the execution of a
lease agreement between the Township of Roxbury and the Dialysis Center of
Northwest New Jersey for use of certain real property and improvement location
at 175 Righter Road, Succasunna, New Jersey.
Councilwoman DeFillippo
questioned Mr. Bucco why we are changing the lease terms from 20 years to 30
years. Mr. Bucco stated it was a change
requested by the Dialysis
Center and he sees no
problem with that.
Mayor Schmidt questioned Mr.
Raths if we are receiving an annual report from the Dialysis Center. Mr. Raths stated not to his knowledge. Mr. Bucco stated it is a statutory
requirement. Mr. Raths stated that he or
Mr. Grisi, Health Officer would make sure they get the annual report.
Councilman Hall questioned Mr. Bucco on wording in the lease
on page 2, paragraph 3. Mr. Bucco stated it was fine. Mr. Hall also
questioned Mr. Bucco on page 3, paragraph
5 and if the number listed is renegotiable in terms of insurance. Mr. Bucco stated it is for general liability
insurance only and the Township owns the building.
Councilman Rilee made a
motion to move Ordinance 27-06 for introduction. Councilman Ciaramella seconded the motion.
