Committee Reports
Mr. Furmato: No report.
Mr. Borowsky: The new vehicle storage building that will house a number of vehicles at DPW will hopefully going out to bid in the next few weeks. I talked to Bob and he was hopeful it would make it onto next weeks Planning Board agenda for a courtesy review but it didn’t make it. Hopefully, it will make the following weeks agenda. The installation of a second high service pump should begin by
Monday at the treatment plant and it should take a few weeks to complete. The weather has not been cooperative so no tide flex vales have been able to be installed. Bob assured me once the weather breaks he will be on it. We just took delivery of three loads of salt last night and boy did we need it.
With this delivery we are only at about 25% to 30%. The stuff is in high demand and back logged and back ordered and it is being rationed out. It is supposed to be fairly warm. I want to make a comment about the Community Center. I would like to see a local resident hopefully put an application in that could hopefully be a voice for residents in that neighborhood. I would like to congratulate the Point
Wrestling Club.. As most of you know, I am a coach for the travelling club in town and last Saturday we won the team championship. We completed an undefeated season and we beat Jackson, Bricktown,
Lacey, and Hazlet. Maybe we could do a proclamation in the next week or two and get the kids in here.
I have been doing this for six years and this is the greatest group of kids I have ever worked with. I am so proud of these kids and proud to work with them. End of report.
Mr. Wisniewski: Congratulations to Mr. Borowsky and his team. I would like to end taking applications for the community center at the next meeting. Open Space, I was going to ask for Councilman
Borowsky’s help , there is an area in the back of the shed at DPW they are using for storage of nick nacky stuff and Bob will get back to me on that. We have Finance and Budget meetings next week and I know you are all as excited as I am to attend. Thank you.
Ms. DePaola; We are working diligently to get our construction office fully staffed and we were supposed to start interviews last week but due to the snow the interviews for the potential candidates were postponed until Thursday and once they get started in finding a construction official that will help.
One of our building inspectors has requested a leave of absence and we do have someone in his

department who will cover his duties. Our Community Watch Group is meeting next Monday night and they are looking to increase their membership role. If anyone is interested in joining our Community
Watch Program please feel free to reach out to either Larry Williams, our Chief of Police, or Mary Jane
Bavais who is the President. End of report.
Mr. Leitner: We recently had a meeting of our Climate Action Control and one of the things we are talking about is doing a Community Garden. There is some suggestion that there are various sites around the town and I believe the Open Space Committee is talking about similar projects. We are looking for ideas and rules that have worked in other Community Gardens. We do want widespread community involvement with the Community Center and I think we can move this forward and get everyone involved. It will be a great thing for this town.
Mr. Sabosik: The Police have asked me, there seems to be a lot of walkers around town after night and all wearing dark clothes. They have advised me to tell the people the conditions that we have out there. If you have anything light to wear or there are reflective vests that you can buy from Home
Depot or Lowe’s or Beaver Dam Hardware. That would help. It seems to be there are a lot of people walking in the roadway with the snow and you have people jamming on the brakes and it is creating an unsafe environment. If you can tell you neighbors and friends to please beware out there and wear light clothing or carry a flashlight. The First Aid has ordered a new pick up and they want to thank the people of Point Pleasant for being generous with their donations. This has made it possible for them to get a new vehicle. The Fire Department is looking forward to their new Fire Truck. It is on schedule. It should be here sometime in April and it will be a great improvement. We will be able to retire a couple of other vehicles. Please remember the First Aid and Fire Departments are always looking for new members.
They are great organizations and they train hard. They are great people to work with. If you know anybody who wants to join those two organizations please tell one of us or go to the Fire Department or
First Aid and they will embrace you 100%. I thank Mr. Borowsky for his great achievement with his wrestling program.

WILLIAM SCHROEDER,
Mayor
Mayor Schroeder opened the meeting to the public.
Dennis Vitkauskis, Foster Road: I notice on the finance and realtors it say temporary and not on the other signs. How long is temporary?
Mr. Sabosik: What we were trying to is we had a lot of homes that were destroyed and for the total concept to help people move in easier having a development sign with a picture of the proposed house and next to that would be a real estate sign and then a bank that they can get financing. We are trying to make it easy for people to be able to buy a home, to build a home and to get the tax ratable up for the town. I think

what you are stating is after the house is built no one is going to want a development sign left there.
Mr. Dasti: They are 2’ x 3’ like a realtor sign.
Mr. Sabosik: It is really to help people facilitate getting financing and talking to the owner.
Mayor Schroeder: This does include the whole town. It is not isolated to certain areas?
Mr. Sabosik: Yes.
Mr. Vitkauskis: How long is the sign allowed to stay up for if it says temporary?
Some companies want to leave the sign up forever and ever.
Ms. DePaola; Once it is sold it falls under other ordinances that we have. That is the job of the Code Enforcement Officer. We have to use common sense and leave it up to the Code Enforcement Officer.

APPROVED: _All in favor _________________
Ms. Mona Lavada, I own Jan’s Laundromat on Ocean Road. We have been hit hard with the water rates and we cannot conserve. We cannot tell people they cannot do their laundry. Our rates went up quite a bit between 2010 and 2011. She had an almost $500 increase in her water bill on top of the increase in 2011. This is per quarter. The last time it was $700 a quarter. Is there some type of modification or relief we can get.
Mr. Leitner: Most of your customers are Point Pleasant customers. What is the cost of a load of wash.
Ms. Lavada: $3.00 a load. We cannot raise the rates because our customers will go elsewhere. It does not seem fair and the burden is on us as a business for the usage. There is no way we can cut down on our water.
Mr. Sabosik: Sometime the new machines use less water.
Ms. Lavada: I have some of the new machines. There are only three Laundromats in town and I was hoping you can come up with some type of help for us.
Mr. Wisniewski: We will look into this.
Ms. Lavada thanked Mayor and Council.
