Keyport, NJ
Councilmember McNamara: Finance/Grants, Cannabis, Green Team, NPP
Public service announcement regarding the benefit of running an unclaimed property
search. Search was conducted recently and the Borough will receive just under $9,000
and a claim has been submitted. Encourages everyone to visit unclaimedfunds.nj.gov and
perform a search.
Regarding the NJDOT 2024 SRTS grant program, suggested addressing the unsafe
passage along Maple Place by the creek, which is a County road. She reports the County
is on board and hopes this important school route will finally get the attention it needs.
CME looked into boardwalk grant funding and attended the August 29th technical
assistance session. This grant program is administered by the Division of Disaster
Recovery and Litigation at NJDCA. Funding tends to be geared toward upgrades to
construction and expansion of existing public boardwalks.
The CDBG awards typically come out in October or November; awaiting an update about
the Borough’s application to perform additional work at Beach Park.
Regarding the collection of fees for use of Borough property: thanked the Kiwanis Flea
Market for continuing to pay the agreed upon fees. KBBC submitted payment for a
majority of events and anticipates the balance being paid soon. To date the Farmer’s
Market has only remitted payment for the first Thursday they used the location, leaving a
balance due for at least 13 additional Thursdays; uncertain whether they’re still under the
KBBC or doing this as a private business.
NPP/ARP grant official award announcement came through for $262,000 to be used at
Beach Park. Thanked those who heard her two-year ask for getting volleyball net back up
at Beach Park. Hopefully contracted beach cleaner can include that area. There has been
a change in original plan for work at Mini Park, which engineer will speak to during his
report. Jack Straub will be the new NPP Coordinator.
Doesn’t believe there are any cannabis updates from the CRC or about the ongoing
litigation. Expects if any members of the administration or Governing Body receive
updates they’ll be shared with her and Councilmember Reilly, who serve on the Cannabis
Committee.
Green Team will be meeting next week. Plans to participate in Red Raider Night again,
on October 12th at the Central School. Intends to put feelers out regarding proposed
focus on the bay for 2024.
Happy to attend some ribbon cuttings on I Keyport Day. The schedule was posted on
social media but she and others missed some of them due to unannounced changes.
Spoke to the FSD Enterprises consulting services contract for wireless
telecommunications (Resolution No. 2023-259) and noted that she voted for it because
she was informed at the (August 15, 2023) meeting that it was an extension of an existing
contract. At the time she expressed concern about the optics, as the company is owned
by Declan O’Scanlon, a New Jersey State Senator running for re-election. She wanted to
clarify that the prior contract was a one-year agreement six years ago, and if she had the
accurate information she would not have approved it.
Council President Davidson: Planning Board, Redevelopment, Fire/First Aid/OEM, Public
Works/Water-Sewer
Planning Board will meet Thursday, September 28th at 7pm.
Redevelopment no updates.
Heard 9/11 ceremony was very nice and was unable to attend due to family obligations
and back-to-school night.

Library with 25 laptops and 25 hot spots that patrons can check out; grant recipients will
be notified in early 2024. The Storywalk on the Henry Hudson Trail was taken down and
the Library is considering other ways to use the signage, possibly on the Library grounds.
The Library is starting a teen advisory board where teens can get volunteer hours for

6pm and Bedtime Story at 6:30pm.
A portion of Fireman’s Park is reserved for October 7th for a Fire Prevention Week

The Borough Attorney addressed the Borough’s tax abatement ordinance and explained it allows
for up to a 30% abatement for up to five years for new construction; this has been on the books
since 2018. Tax abatement continues if a property sells before 5 years. A property will be
reassessed on an annual basis so it takes into account any other improvements.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor requested Motion to open to the public and comments be limited to five minutes and
agenda items only. The Meeting was opened to the public for comments on agenda items only.
Opened: 7:29 PM Motion by Davidson, Carried by Reilly. Ayes by all present.
John Merla, 34 Broad Street – Noted that the construction is not completed at 7 Raritan Cove and
questioned why R2023-284 should be approved now since the project is three phases and only
two phases are completed. Borough Attorney responded that this phase is completed so that’s
why this one is being done. Mr. Merla spoke about another project in town where utilities were
not put underground and road was not paved. Stated it’s important to get the word out about the
Municipal Alliance and commented on the Beach Park construction saying pegs are sticking up
three feet out of the ground, which is a liability.
George Walling, 54 Second Street – Asked about R2023-284, given the understanding that
Ordinance requires a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) before approval of a tax abatement. Mayor
responded that the Governing Body assumes the tax assessor performed due diligence. Mr.
Walling said he heard Hook and Ladder is out of service and asked if that’s true.
Michael Lane, 51 First Street – R2023-284 tax abatement is a fantastic benefit to the Borough
and explained his understanding of how the tax abatement is calculated, which includes land
value, and said PILOTS, on the other hand, are a tremendous loss. Mr. Lane provided a handout
to the Police Chief, which was distributed to the council.
Tim Sharpe, 33 Pershing Place – spoke to the Mini Park construction and path of travel from
West Front Street down to American Legion Drive relative to ADA compliance. Asked whether
consideration was given to making the walkway ADA compliant, or is there something coming
down the pike that is going to improve the path of travel and access between W. Front St. and
American Legion Drive.

Keyport, NJ
Engineer explained that there is a difference between being ADA compliant and ADA
accessible. To be fully ADA accessible the walkway would have to be extended down toward the
waterfront and there was too much of a grade to do that. An option would have been a
switchback but it wouldn’t work. Upon project completion, it will be fully accessible from
American Legion Drive at the base up into the stage area where a new concrete pad is being
built. The area from West Front Street down to the stage area, which is now a bunch of
platforms and risers, will not be fully accessible but it will be ADA compliant as it relates to how
stairs need to be built. It’s an unforeseen condition based on the existing topography from W.
Front Street down to American Legion Drive. There will be signage directing how to get to
another pathway down to the base that will allow for accessibility to the main juncture of the
area.
Mr. Sharpe spoke about the Complete Streets project saying the goal is to increase safety,
mobility, and accessibility when designing streets and pedestrian walkways. He stated that he’ll
give it 90 days to see if there is any kind of resolution to the issue and, if not, then he’ll file a
complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
Michael Warren, 81 Division Street – came forward to comment on Ordinance 23-10; will
instead speak during the public hearing.
Elmer J. Graham Jr., 22 St. Peters Place – Stated that if R2023-284 helps the Borough he is
supportive of its approval. Asked for an explanation of R2023-287, to which the Borough
Administrator responded. Asked about R2023-285 and who the property tax overpayment
refund was for and the mayor responded.
Michael Lane – spoke to tax abatements again, commenting on condos and the value of the land
being split up among the units.
Closed: 8:02 PM Motion by Peperoni, Carried by Davidson. Ayes by all present.
Councilmember Davidson made a point of clarification that nothing on this agenda has to do
with Mariners Village and a PILOT, and the numbers Mr. Lane presented are not reflective of
the PILOT which is currently being negotiated and whether it’s even going to be a possibility.

John Merla – commented that passage of this ordinance amendment is long overdue, and those
who worked on it did a great job.

Some sewer lines run from house to curb to street but don’t necessarily run directly to
homeowner’s property, sometimes it crosses another property.

Joanne Clark, 12 First Street – lives across street from the (Beach Park) playground and has
observed a few homeless people living in the gazebo. Asked if there is any way to close the park
area after 11 PM to prevent loitering there. Borough Attorney said this ordinance addresses that.
Carol Goodhue, 16 First Street – thankful for the ordinance and asked where in the ordinance it
says the park will close for people just hanging out in the park, to which the Borough Attorney
responded. Also spoke about underage drinking in the park and enforcement issues.
John Merla – applauded the ordinance. Noted that it should make clear the reason parks can’t be
closed because the parks utilized Green Acres funding and the Green Acres program is strong
about leaving things open to the public.
