General Maintenance. 1. The design engineer shall prepare a maintenance plan for the stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of a major development. 2. The maintenance plan shall contain specific preventative maintenance tasks and schedules; cost estimates, including estimated cost of sediment, debris, or trash removal; and the name, address, and telephone number of the person or persons responsible for preventative and corrective maintenance (including replacement). The plan shall contain information on BMP location, design, ownership, maintenance tasks and frequencies, and other details as specified in Chapter 8 of the NJ BMP Manual, as well as the tasks specific to the type of BMP, as described in the applicable chapter containing design specifics. 3. If the maintenance plan identifies a person other than the property owner (for example, a developer, a public agency or homeowners' association) as having the responsibility for maintenance, the plan shall include documentation of such person's or entity’s agreement to assume this responsibility, or of the owner's obligation to dedicate a stormwater management facility to such person under an applicable ordinance or regulation. 4. Responsibility for maintenance shall not be assigned or transferred to the owner or tenant of an individual property in a residential development or project, unless such owner or tenant owns or leases the entire residential development or project. The individual property owner may be assigned incidental tasks, such as weeding of a green infrastructure BMP, provided the individual agrees to assume these tasks; however, the individual cannot be legally responsible for all of the maintenance required. 5. If the party responsible for maintenance identified under Section 25-10(b)(3) above is not a public agency, the maintenance plan and any future revisions based on Section 25- 10(b)(7) below shall be recorded upon the deed of record for each property on which the maintenance described in the maintenance plan must be undertaken.

The party responsible for maintenance identified under Section 25-10(b)(3) above shall perform all of the following requirements: (a) maintain a detailed log of all preventative and corrective maintenance for the structural stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of the development, including a record of all inspections and copies of all maintenance- related work orders; (b) evaluate the effectiveness of the maintenance plan at least once per year and adjust the plan and the deed as needed; and (c) retain and make available, upon request by any public entity with administrative, health, environmental, or safety authority over the site, the maintenance plan and the documentation required by Sections 25-10(b)(6) and (b)(7).; and (d) post a two year maintenance guarantee in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53. 8. The requirements of Sections 25-10(b)(3) and (b)(4) above do not apply to stormwater management facilities that are dedicated to and accepted by the municipality or another governmental agency, subject to all applicable municipal stormwater general permit conditions, as issued by the Department. 9. In the event that the stormwater management facility becomes a danger to public safety or public health, or if it is in need of maintenance or repair, the municipality shall so notify the responsible person in writing. Upon receipt of that notice, the responsible person shall have fourteen (14) days to effect maintenance and repair of the facility in a manner that is approved by the municipal engineer or his designee. The municipality, in its discretion, may extend the time allowed for effecting maintenance and repair for good cause. If the responsible person fails or refuses to perform such maintenance and repair, the municipality or County may immediately proceed to do so and shall bill the cost thereof to the responsible person. Nonpayment of such bill may result in a lien on the property. c. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the municipality in which the major development is located from requiring the posting of a performance or maintenance guarantee in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-53.

RESOLUTION #069-04-21-21 – Removed from Agenda. COUNCILMATIC COMMITTEE REPORTS:  FINANCE COMMITTEE Council Member Rampacek Finance Report: The auditors are finishing their final review of the audit; buy we have not seen a draft yet. Also, we are still working hard on our 2021 budget. Scott has been working with the county CFO and putting some items together base on what they have reviewed. As of right now, it looks like taxes may increase 2% but we will not know for sure until we get finalized numbers from the American Relief Program. If anyone has concerns, questions or suggestions regarding the budget, feel free to reach out to me. MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 20 of 26  Library Report: The library is still offering curbside pickup and digital media. Also, they are working on coming up with an opening schedule; which I will let you know when I hear. They are also planning a hybris summer reading schedule this year. Make sure to follow them on Facebook or visit their website for current information about the building and programs being offered.  EDUCATION COMMITTEE Council Member Shaughnessy Jamesburg Public School students are now back in JFK 4 days a week. They are attending afternoon classes virtually, but the time in school has been extended to every day except Monday. The school remains closed on Mondays to be thoroughly cleaned. All Special Ed students are in on a four-day basis at the middle level as well. However, General Ed’s students at the Middle School are still on the hybrid schedule. That is due to state guidelines. Since Middlesex County is still in the orange zone, distancing must be maintained at 6 ft. for middle and high school students. However, they have a plan in place and are prepared to pivot when the designation changes. JFK is at above 60% of students. Many who have been all virtual and have been asked to change, the switch to 4 days a week as well as the re-start of the High 5 program are contributing factors. The school will evaluate on a case-by-case basis. Whether they can return depends n the space in their classroom. The school has been working with Penn Medicine to help teachers get vaccinated. S we know, that is a major factor in getting students back full time, as will the development of vaccines for youths. It is still very unclear what school will look like next year and whether September would bring full days for students in the building. We do look ahead to end the year. There will be, in some form a 5th grade and 8th grade graduation ceremonies. We will probably see events that are virtual in some form, of outdoors in another form. Last year’s graduation outdoors was a success. With the backdrop of the Green Team’s Rain Garden, it is easy to imagine another ceremony in that location.  POLICE COMMITTEE Council President Sussman – ABSENT Council Member Shaughnessy read his report: For the Jamesburg Police Department, there were 71 calls for service, 11 motor vehicle accidents which resulted in 0 injuries, 107 motor vehicle summonses were issued, and 68 motor vehicle stops. MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 21 of 26  There were 3 criminal complaints issued. Fourteen new firearms applications were approved. Police traveled 11,105 miles. There is an investigation into a sexual assault, 3 DWI’s were charged (all following MV accidents). We responded to 2 overdoses. Narcan was deployed in both cases. Nine officers completed training for Rifle Qualifications. A fraud is being investigated. Ten thousand dollars was wired to a fraudulent account. Residents are urged to be cautious and verify when sked to wire or transfer monies. A resident was the victim of strong-armed robbery on march 25th on Buckelew Ave. The detective bureau is conducting the investigation. Patrolman Bruno assisted lockdown drills at both GMB and JFK schools. SLEO II Gregory Motard will be resigning his position. He has been with JPD for 16 years.  PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Council Member Czarneski Our Business Administrator is currently on leave and will be back shortly. I am currently working with the Mayor and my co-chair to craft a “Return to Work” policy that may occur in phases with some of the phases possibly being combined. We will follow CDC and state guidelines on the return. With the COVID vaccine becoming available to more individuals, we feel it is time to move to try to get back to normal.  PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Council Member Rutsky Spring schedule is in full swing. Litter pick up and grass cutting has begun. Initial focus was on Green Acres, with the pandemic it seems it caused more litter to appear throughout the park and much of the downtown area. There was an issue with people not cleaning up after their dogs, especially at Green Acres. DPW has been essential in assisting the Green Team clean-ups. First, at the Buckelew house by having the dumpster emptied and ready to go for us. We filled it! They also took larger items such as broke n down lawn mowers to the yard for us. DPW will be removing the over grown and broken planter in front of the flag post on the Buckelew grounds. It will be replaced by a smaller free-standing planter, donated by 1st Constitution Bank. The trees around the flag post have been trimmed and Paul Intravartola had a flag erected. The same preparation can be said for his past clean up at the ballfields and behind Green Acres park. DPW provided garbage bags and litter grabbers. Honestly, MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 22 of 26  that tool helped us get into a lot of the areas covered with thorns and briars. I can’t express my distain more for one use plastic bags. We find them everywhere. Spring flowers have been planted in the Borough pots on Railroad Avenue. Th next phase will be Veteran’s park. I would like to inquire about the flag being flown at Veterans Park that is torn. Who is responsible for replacing that, as well as the flags on the monuments? It had been done by Commander Brown, but he is no longer doing the Borough. We have to address the situation. I have requested updates and I am still waiting for information in regards to the repairs that need to be done on the lights due to a car accident last summer at Veterans park as well as the Smokehouse damage from last fall at the Buckelew House, and the fencing at Tilly Davison park. * ENVIRONMENT/ GREEN COMMITTEE: Council Member Ludas On April 12th I attended a county water resource authority meeting to review and finalize storm water ordinances for six municipalities. Municipalities needing revisions will be notified by April 30th. The Green Team has begun Spring Clean up projects. We cleaned out two rooms at the Blacksmith house on the Lakeview site. We had an intense cleaning of the Green Acres park area. We have a clean up for the downtown area and the Church Street Creek scheduled for May 1st from 9:00am-noon. I would like to thank the Green team Members, Historical Society, DPW, Scout Troop 54 and Councilmembers Czarneski and Rutsky. Mr. marasca and I had a SERV meeting this month. Everything seems to be going well. There are fourteen residents currently, maximum occupancy is fifteen. We will meet again in October. I would like to welcome a new business n town. CIAO is located in the Dunkin Donuts plaza.  CHIEF OF POLICE Chief Craparotta We are investigating an armed robbery that occurred march 25th on Buckelew Avenue. We are also investigating $10,000 that was wired into a fraudulent account. Please be careful and call the police if need be. Our fleet of vehicles are in major need of repairs. We have already spent $, on repairs this year. If we get a new vehicle very year, this helps to prevent so many repairs. We have to find a better way to purchase vehicles. MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 23 of 26  I attended a Chief’s meeting. There may be mandatory training for our officers which could cost the town $20.000. Water is leaking into the police department from the front of the building and into the conference room. We have expensive machinery such as our breathalyzer and fingerprinting machines that could be damaged. We are also in need of a new speed alert trailer, ours was damaged. SLEO II Greg Motard is retiring after 16 years. I will be accepting applications to replace him. Without two SLEO’s we will have to pay a regular officer overtime which could be costly. I cannot predict howe often we will need to use a SLEO II, they are flexible.  ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT Scott Frueh We will order new flags for Veterans Park and Borough Hall. Commander Brown will replace the smaller ones around the monument.  PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE / RECREATION / COMMUNITY EVENTS: Mayor Marlene Lowande Small business grants are out. Information can be found on Facebook page, Governor Murphy’s page or on the NJ.GOV page. To date there have been 611 COVID cases in Jamesburg. 1,421 have received their 1st vaccine dose, 1,900 are completely vaccinated, 2.5 million in New Jersey are vaccinated. Pfizer vaccines are now available to 16–18-year-olds. There are several websites available for COVID information and vaccine information. If you are homebound, please reach out to me. Council, thank you for working so hard. Green Team you re doing a great job! There seems to be more and more garbage on the streets, not just in Jamesburg. DISCUSSION ITEM: Cannabis Legislation MOTION TO OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENT: Proposed By: Ludas Seconded By: Rampacek MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 24 of 26 Bertin Lefkovic – 27 Lake Street - Mr. Lefkovic is concerned with the fact that people who have to drive out of town to go to a dispensary would be driving back into town under the influence. He feels Jamesburg has a lot of empty store front and the town can use the revenue. With a law that was passed, the town can get 2% of the sales for the year. He also feels having more foot traffic would be good for the businesses. Mr. Lefkovic is asking the Mayor and Council to consider making the ban temporary and is asking for a referendum in the November Election. Meredith Betedo – 9 Quail Run – Ms. Betedo supports a dispensary in town. This can bring money into the town and for the schools. She feels there will be no issues with people driving under the influence. There are options for medical and recreational, the town can only allow for medical. Michelle Scott – 7 Fernwood Lane - Ms. Scott is in agreement with the others who spoke tonight. She feels there could be a lot of benefits financially for the town. Chief Craparotta – Chief has many concerns with having a dispensary in town, below are some of his concerns:  Impaired driving on our streets  We have no level to test for marijuana  In Colorado, ER incidents increased substantially  Walking school district – children walking by these shops  Children would be more tempted to try at a younger age  All cash business – increased robberies  Town will not make substantial money  More accessible for juveniles  Liquor bottles and trash will increase  More disturbances  The smell while residents are dining outside Chief also warned there is a lot of misinformation out there and to be careful when doing research. Council Members all listened to the Chief’s concerns. They are in agreement that he has a lot of good concerns. Another concern the Council has is that we have 2 schools in the town, the dispensary would more than likely be within 100’ of one of the schools. All seem to be in agreement with the fact that we need more information before they can vote. Council Member Rampacek is concerned with the traffic this will create. Council Member Ludas agreed to go to the business with a survey to get their input on how they feel about having a dispensary in town. MINUTES - APRIL 21, 2021 Page 25 of 26 Mayor Marlene Lowande – Mayor Lowande explained we have until August to make our decision. She feels there are pros and cons. Getting 2% back to the town would be nice. Having 2 schools and the fact we are a walking district is definitely a concern. Also, the fact that it is at this point an all-cash robbery will be up.
