EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH FOR JULY: Vincent Patti and Kevin French from the Electric Utility Department have been selected as the Employees of the Month for July. For 4 weeks, Vincent and Kevin worked closely with American Electrical Testing Company replacing the 8 circuit relays at the James Park Substation. This work, which was outside of Vince and Kevin’s classification, saved the Borough tens of thousands of dollars. The inspectors from Utility Engineers were very impressed with the linemen’s wiring skills. Vincent and Kevin also taught a class to the rest of the Electric Department to share their newly gained knowledge. ANNIVERSARIES: Jim Finelli from the Water Utility Department, celebrated 35 years on July 7th. Jack Dunne from the Fire Department, will celebrate 30 years, this Thursday, July 15th. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Public Safety PAGE 2 OF 23 Regular Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2021 Ms. Byrne, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: During the month of June, the Fire Department responded to twenty one general alarms, sixteen still alarms, twenty eight investigations and thirty three medical calls for a total of ninety eight calls. The Department held two drills, conducted twenty Fire Prevention Inspections and thirty five smoke/CO resale certificates were issued, Volunteer firefighter Troy Pehowic transitions to the Career division, with his first day on the job tomorrow, July 13th. Troy follows in the footsteps of his father, Captain Ed Pehowic who retired from the Madison Fire Department in July of 1997. We wish Troy a long and safe career. The Police Department reports that Sgt. Stephanie Aquino has completed child safety seat certification and any resident wishing to have a child safety seat inspected can call the Police Department for an appointment. The Police have received a grant from the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety for body worn cameras to upgrade cameras worn by officers. Ms. Byrne reported for the Finance Department that the State has passed its budget and the Borough now waits for the County to certify the tax rate. The Tax Collector’s office can then print and mail property tax bills, hopefully this week. Tax bills will have a payment deadline of August 1st, but note there is a grace period with no interest and penalties if the payment is received by the August 10th. Please visit Rosenet.org for the most up to date information. Please contact the Tax Collectors office if you have questions. As part of the tax collection and budget process, the Board of Education sends the Borough a tax requisition schedule, for monthly payments to the BOE. The total payments to the BOE for the next 12 months is $45,593,403. This Thursday, the Borough will be wiring $3,634,154.75. This evening, there are two items to note on the agenda. Resolution 208-2021 accepts a state grant award of $81,520 for the Madison Police Department for new body worn cameras. Resolution 209-2021 amends the budget accepting the grant. The body worn cameras will be 100% funded by the grant with no impact on taxes or the Borough’s financial position. Finance and Borough Clerk Ms. Baillie, Chair of the Committee, absent. Public Works and Engineering Mr. Hoover, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: The Borough Engineer reports the completion of miscellaneous curb and sidewalk repairs. Director of Public Works, Ken O’Brien, has been working with the DPW Superintendents of Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, Morris Plains and Morris Township on a regional shared service initiative involving large equipment and vehicles to potentially avoid the large capital expense duplicated in multiple towns when the equipment and vehicles are not needed for daily use. Each town has completed a detailed survey of existing equipment and vehicles, plus a projection of future needs. The N.J. Department of Community Affairs has approved a $90,000.00 grant to support a detailed feasibility study of the project. The Department of Public Works was busy last week due to the unsettled weather and the impact of Tropical Storm Elsa resulting in scattered debris, downed trees and branches and blocked storm drains throughout town. Mr. Hoover noted that Resolution 201-2021, listed on tonight’s Consent Agenda authorizes a new drop box at the DPW yard with Green Tree Textiles to receive used shoes, garments and textiles that are recycled for use, not sold, and Resolution 206-2021 awards a contract for the purchase of a hook/lift truck and accessories which gives DPW the ability to pick up leaves, spread sand and brine and plow. Previously trucks were dedicated to one function and could not easily be converted for multiple uses. This purchase eliminates that obstacle and increases productivity and efficiency. PAGE 3 OF 23 Regular Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2021 Community Affairs Ms. Coen, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: Bottle Hill Day, along with the PBA Car Show, is scheduled for Saturday, October 2, 2021. The Borough is embarking on a wayfinding system, with the help of MERJE, an expert in the field of wayfinding. They have prepared a survey that will help inform the design of the system. Please complete the survey on the “I Love Madison” website or contact Director of Business Development Lisa Ellis for details. A blood drive will be held this Thursday, July 15th, at the Community Arts Center. Utilities Ms. Ehrlich, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: The Electric Department completed the new electrical utility upgrade for 4 Community Place. The new upgraded service to 317 Main Street (Burger King) has also been completed. During the week of June 28th, the department replaced three pole-top transformers that were overloaded due to the excessive heat. On July 6th, the standby crew was called out for a power outage at 100 North Street, where a fuse on a transformer had tripped from lightning and had to be reset. The crew was also called to 5 Hillcrest Road, where a fallen tree had taken the service off the house. The crew secured the area and remounted the service after the homeowner’s tree company removed the fallen tree. The Electric Department continues to work with Penn Globe Co. on upgrading our vintage-style lamp posts downtown to retrofit them for new LED lighting. This upgrade offers multiple improvements – in energy savings, decreased maintenance and replacement costs, and fixture longevity – all while maintaining the gas lantern aesthetic. The Water Department reminds us that odd and even watering days are still in effect for the rest of the summer. Please remember to refrain from watering when the sun is up; 50% of the water used during daylight hours is lost due to evaporation. Health Mr. Landrigan, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: COVID-19 activity is very slow throughout New Jersey, with Madison reporting a total of 878 cases. No new cases have been reported this month. The State continues to monitor the delta variant of the corona virus. In New Jersey, more than 70% of adults have been vaccinated. The Madison Health Department will hold vaccine clinics on Tuesdays. Please contact the Health Department for an appointment.

WHEREAS, Section 3 of the Act defines a “cannabis establishment” as “a cannabis cultivator, a cannabis manufacturer, a cannabis wholesaler, or a cannabis retailer”; and WHEREAS, Section 31a of the Act authorizes municipalities to adopt by ordinance regulations governing the number of cannabis establishments, cannabis distributors and cannabis delivery services allowed to operate within their boundaries, as well as the location manner and times of operation of such establishments, distributors or delivery services, and establishing civil penalties for the violation of any such regulations; and WHEREAS, Section 31b of the Act authorizes municipalities to prohibit by ordinance the operation of any one or more classes of cannabis establishments, distributors, or delivery services anywhere in the municipality, except for the delivery of cannabis items and related supplies by delivery services based and initiated from outside of the municipality; and WHEREAS, Section 31b of the Act also stipulates, however, that any municipal regulation or prohibition must be adopted within 180 days of the effective date of the Act (i.e., by August 21, 2021); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 31b of the Act, the failure to do so shall mean that for a period of five years thereafter, the growing, cultivating, manufacturing, selling and reselling of cannabis and cannabis items shall be permitted uses in all industrial zones, and the retail selling of cannabis items to consumers shall be a conditional use in all commercial and retail zones; and WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the initial and any subsequent five-year period following a failure to enact local regulations or prohibitions, the municipality shall again, in 2026, have 180 days to adopt an ordinance regulating or prohibiting cannabis businesses, but any such ordinance would be prospective only and would not apply to any cannabis business already operating with appropriate approvals within the municipality; and PAGE 6 OF 23 Regular Meeting Minutes – July 12, 2021 WHEREAS, any ordinance enacted by a municipality prior to the effective date of the Act addressing the issue of prohibiting one or more types of cannabis- related activities within the jurisdiction of the City is null and void; and WHEREAS, the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (the “CRC”), which is charged with regulating medical and personal-use cannabis industries in the State of New Jersey, has yet to promulgate regulations regarding the Act; and WHEREAS, upon the promulgation of regulations by the CRC regarding the Act, the Borough Council may wish to revisit the regulation of cannabis businesses within the Borough of Madison; and WHEREAS, the Borough Council of the Borough of Madison has determined that, due to present uncertainties regarding the potential future impacts that allowing one or more classes of cannabis business might have on New Jersey municipalities in general, and on the Borough of Madison in particular, it is at this time necessary and appropriate, and in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the Borough of Madison’s residents and members of the public who visit, travel, or conduct business in the Borough of Madison, to amend the Borough of Madison’s land development regulations to prohibit all manner of marijuana-related land use and development within the geographic boundaries of the Borough of Madison.
