Saturday. He stated that the trail was
well done.
Mr. Hall stated that the Neighborhood Meeting was very well
attended.
Mr. Hall stated that a COAH meeting was held today. He stated that, as result of Mr. Stern’s
efforts and plan that the Township submitted, the Township’s obligation has
been reduced by over 240 units, which equates, in RCA credits, to a reduction
of about 16 million dollars in obligation.
Mr. Hall stated that the obligation is still too high.

staff is working on putting a map on the web site that will show where the
trails are located, the length of the trails and the level of ease and/or
difficulty of each.

for the upcoming season for residential, commercial and industrial customers. At this point, the request is pending review
by the Board of Public Utilities.
Mr. Schmidt stated that the Scout house on Emmans Road now
has electricity, the new roof has been completed, a new railing has been
installed on the outside deck, the interior has been cleaned out, the chimney
has been inspected and a stove is being donated to be used as an insert to the
chimney, and the doors and windows have been ordered. Mr. Schmidt stated that the Grand Opening would
probably be this fall. Mr. Schmidt
stated that the entire project has been done with donations.
Mr. Zoschak stated that he was sorry about the passing of
Mr. Church and that he will miss him.
Mr. Zoschak discussed the bill regarding Lake Fees
and advised that Lake
Hopatcong has been removed. This will give the Lake Hopatcong Commission
time to work on what fees to charge.
Mayor Smith advised of his op-ed piece in the local papers
listing a series of other alternative user fee approaches.
Mr. Zoschak stated that the Rotary Club sponsors a club at Franklin School consisting of about sixty 3rd
and 4th graders. They have
raised over $4,000 through various fundraisers.
Mr. Zoschak asked about the status of the ability to take
credit card payments for the Courts. Mr.
Stern stated that it is being worked on.
Mr. Zoschak would like Mr. Raths to work on this as soon as possible.
Mr. Zoschak asked about the McNear Park
contract. Mr. Rilee stated that this
project lost funding money from the County.
Mayor Smith stated that the funding was gone and we are going to apply
in July to have it reinstated if we have a contract by then. If we don’t have a contract by the time we
need to apply for our open space funding, there will be no funding. Mr. Rilee stated that it was discussed at the
last Morris County Open Space meeting and that the Township has run out of
extensions. Mr. Woods will check with
Mr. Bucco to see where the contract stands.
Mr. Zoschak asked for an update on the drainage issue on Kings Highway. Mr. Stern will check with Mr. Raths

Highlands Act has impacted everyone immensely.
08-221 A
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE INSTALLATION OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE INTERSECTION
OF ROUTE 206 & MOUNTAIN ROAD/OLD LEDGEWOOD ROAD BY BLUE VISTA CONSULTING,
LLC.
Mr. Zoschak made a motion to adopt Resolution 08-221. Mr. Rilee seconded the motion.
Mr. Rilee stated that the Resolution regarding the
installation of a traffic light at Mountain
Road and Route 206, requested by Blue Vista, does
not mean that the Township is supporting Blue Vista, but rather supporting the
installation of a traffic light at a poor intersection.
Mr. Hall stated that he agreed that there is a traffic
situation at the above-mentioned intersection, but that this resolution would
not have come to fruition if this specific application had not come before the
board. Mr. Hall stated that he would
abstain.
Mr. Stern stated that the Council had previously been
involved in a Resolution supporting sewer and that there was some language that
made it clear that that resolution in no way bound the hands of the Planning
Board. Mr. Stern suggested that similar
language may be useful in this resolution.
The following language will be added to Resolution
08-221. “Whereas Township support of
Resolution 08-221 neither constitutes support or non-support of the current
Blue Vista application that is before the Planning Board at this time.”

New Business
Old Business
1. Procurement Policy
The Council discussed the proposed sidewalk
and crosswalks on Reger Road. Mayor Smith stated that the proposed cost for
installing the sidewalk has increased dramatically from what was previously
discussed. Council members stated that there would be no impact on the
residents if a crosswalk were utilized instead of sidewalks. Mr. Rilee asked if someone would have to go
way out of his or her way in order to get to the other end of the road and be
on the sidewalk if we were to agree to the crosswalk idea. Ms. DeFillippo asked about the installation
of signs on Reger Road
at the areas of the crosswalks. Mr.
Blood stated that there would be two signs, one in advance of the crosswalk and
another at the site of the crosswalk.
Council agreed to discuss this again in the future after they receive
more information. Mr. Blood will review the minutes of June 26, 2007 to determine
the original cost.
