A motion was made by Deputy Mayor Townes and seconded by Councilwoman
Sasso to open the meeting to the public.
Victor Sasson, questioned whether a long term tax exemption had been granted
to the developer of the Avalon project and was told that it was not. When Mr. Sasson
questioned the use of a PILOT for the State Street project, it was explained to Mr.
Sasson that there would be no project without this incentive and that this is the first step
in the Main Street Rehabilitation project. Mr. Sasson asked how many City employees
drive City cars home and was told twelve to fifteen. He also raised questions
concerning the use of a vehicle by Adrian Koster and was told that he is on call twentyfour/seven as he is the Sanitation director.
Kathy Canestrino, Brook Street, asked how many years the PILOT is for and was
told thirty years. Mrs. Canestrino questioned whether the legal bills for the two officers
are covered under the insurance policy and was told that they are not and that the City
Attorney had negotiated a reduction with both attorneys and the decision to pay the bills
was based on case law.
Steve Gelber, 304 Clinton Place, spoke about double or triple dipping on health
insurance and said that Councilman Labrosse still subscribes to the City insurance plan.
Regina DiPasqua, Parker Avenue, questioned what the bill would be from the
City Attorney for time spent negotiating the reduction of invoices. She also questioned
how the City would pay for these reimbursements and Mr. Lo Iacono indicated that they
will be paid through the current account. Ms. DiPasqua commented that the State
Street redevelopment project is a good start. She also said that she had received a
copy of Mr. Malagiere’s bill and that $2,200 had been spent for Westlaw and the bill
indicated that there had been a five hour meeting with the counsel for the defendants.
Ms. DiPasqua said that the bill was padded and that someone has to review Mr.
Malagiere’s bills.
Peter Marchesani, 65 Davis Avenue, said that the PILOT seems low and said
that the Mayor and Council had done a good job on the first step. He also said that he
was happy that the garbage truck situation on First Street had been resolved.
3/5/13
As no one else wished to be heard, a motion was made by Councilwoman Sasso
and seconded by Councilman Meneses to close the public portion of the meeting.
Councilman Labrosse remarked that he is very excited about the project and said
that the area had been blighted for years and was producing a minimum of taxes. He
also said that the property possibly could have sat vacant for another ten to twenty
years and that this is a good corner stone project.
Deputy Mayor Townes said that he had attended a symposium on human
trafficking and that it is depressing and scary that the U.S. has the highest problem. He
said that there is a bill being pushed through by Assemblywoman Huttle regarding
same. Deputy Mayor Townes also remarked that the bill needs to be in place before
the Super Bowl comes to this area and that everyone should keep their eyes and ears
open for this bill.
Councilman Meneses said that he is very happy that the State Street project is
coming up finally.
Councilwoman Sasso said that she had also seen something about human
trafficking. She also said that the City would not be on the verge of these
redevelopment projects without the spark initiated by the Business Improvement
District. She also spoke about the presentation made on behalf of the City at the NJ
Futures seminar and said that it had been well received. She said that she had an
opportunity to attend sessions in the morning.
Mayor Melfi announced that at the next meeting the Council will be recognizing
some of our student athletes from the basketball, track, and wrestling teams. The
Mayor also said that all of the hard work put into the redevelopment agreement, etc., will
now start to pay off and that while Main Street will never be what it was it will be better
than it is. Mayor Melfi thanked everyone and especially Councilwoman Sasso,
Councilman Meneses, Mr. Lo Iacono and other City professionals for their
perseverance.
A motion was made by Councilwoman Sasso and seconded by Councilman
Labrosse to close the meeting at 7:50 p.m.
