CAUCUS MEETING
FEBRUARY 19, 2013
9:30 A.M.
Members Present: Present were President of Council Patrick Rosenello,
Councilpersons Edwin Koehler, Margaret Bishop, David Del Conte and James Kane.
Mayor William Henfey, Councilwoman Kellyann Tolomeo and Councilman Salvatore
Zampirri were not present due to being out of town. Also present were City
Administrator Louis Belasco, Solicitor William Kaufmann and Engineer Ralph Petrella.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that Joe Sevick, a resident of
Chestnut Avenue, has volunteered to help with the effort to obtain the Marine Police
building from the State. Joe has previously helped garner neighborhood support for the
Wawa project. He will now act as a liaison with the Lighthouse Commission and State
agencies. The City will also require the help of a lobbyist in Trenton, and we have
received a proposal from Komjathy & Stewart for $7,500 over a three month period.
With the Attorney General’s office and the DEP involved, it is necessary to have
someone in Trenton working for us on this project. The Lighthouse Commission has
committed $2,500 or $3,000 to this effort, with the City picking up the balance. This
effort has been going on for at least 10 years and has become very complicated. It is
also possible that Open Space funds may available in the future for this site.
JOE SEVICK stated that he will work with Komjathy & Stewart in Trenton to make
inroads with the various agencies involved. They will be meeting with the Government
Relations Committee soon. The Attorney General’s office controls the State Marine
Police and we will try to get all offices coordinated and working together. The proposal
starts on March 1 but the work has begun already.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that we will add a resolution to
today’s agenda awarding a contract to Komjathy & Stewart for this project.
ENGINEER PETRELLA stated that the Lighthouse Commission pursued acquisition
of the Marine Police building a number of years ago. The State determined back then
that if the Marine Police were to relocate, the City would have to pay for the relocation,
new facility, etc.
JOE SEVICK stated that the State has now expressed a willingness to relocate under
conditions more favorable to the City.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that the Lighthouse Commission,
under its Management Agreement, is required to submit an annual report and audit to the
City but this has never been done. Joe Sevick may be able to help with this.
COUNCILWOMAN BISHOP asked if our State Senator or Assemblymen have been
helping with this effort.
JOE SEVICK stated that Senator Van Drew has been involved in these discussions and
supports the City 100%. Van Drew has stated that he will assist in any way that he can.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that Ordinance #1620 will be
pulled from the agenda.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that an appointment needs to be added for a
volunteer at the Anglesea Fire Company.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that Resolution #1 is for an
agreement for the Boardwalk SID to maintain the bathrooms on the Boardwalk and at
the Lifeguard Station. The City was not happy with the previous contractor and the SID
will do the maintenance for less than the previous contract.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that proposals have been made for an electrical
co-op to provide power to the City. The City would sign up all the residents to receive
electric service from this new provider. Atlantic City Electric cautions consumers
regarding third-party providers and there is no guarantee that after the first year the new
rates would be lower than Atlantic City Electric.
CAUCUS MEETING
FEBRUARY 19, 2013
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO stated that we should be hesitant about
signing up people for service without their consent. The City does not need to be
monitoring electrical services. The program may be good, but the City doesn’t need to
be doing it. Residents can sign up individually if they wish.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that Resolution #2 is for the annual contract
with Dr. Farrell of the Stockton College Research Center.
PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL ROSENELLO asked when the bids will be received for
the Beach Replenishment project, with the answer being Thursday, March 7 at 2 PM.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that he has spoken with Engineer Petrella and
also with Norfolk Dredge Company. They are expecting to finish their current project
by mid-May. Three of the five projects on Resolution #11 will be submitted to FEMA
for possible reimbursement.
COUNCILMAN KOEHLER stated that jitneys will be running in Avalon and Stone
Harbor this summer, and were in Sea Isle City last summer. We should find out how the
contract is set up. Does the City subsidize, or does the company depend solely on rider
revenues? They move people very efficiently.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that he will look into it.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by Bishop, that caucus be adjourned.
9:55 AM
Carried.
