Mayor Conley also noted several legislative items being considered by the New Jersey State legislators, including renewal of the Transportation Trust Fund and Affordable Housing. Employee of the Month for March is Michael Pellessier Communications Director, for stepping up to keep Personnel Department running while other employees were out on illness and bereavement leave.. Anniversary – Kristy Kiehl of the Madison Police Department will celebrate her 25th anniversary on March 11, 2024. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Public Safety Mr. Range, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: On March 4th, the ARRIVE NJ mental health support program officially began at the Madison Police Department, and the Department is seeing immediate results. On March 5th, Madison Police held an annual department meeting and awards presentation. Twenty-six commendations were issued to officers for their actions during the past two years, for actions above and beyond the call of duty. The Madison Police Department Command met with Madison High School officials regarding ongoing security enhancements at Madison High School. This Friday March 15th, Madison officers will be taking part in a Law Enforcement Night at Mennen Arena. The program runs from 7:00-9:00 pm and is open to the public. In February, the Fire Department responded to eighteen general alarms, twenty-four still alarms, conducted twenty-nine investigations and answered forty-eight medical PAGE 2 OF 22 Regular Meeting Minutes – March 11, 2024 calls for a total of 119 calls. On March 5th, a fire engine was requested to Main Street for a reported fire in an apartment. Engine 1 arrived and advanced a hose line to the 2nd floor where a kitchen fire was found. The cause of the fire was found to be combustibles stored in the lower drawer of the oven. On March 10th, the Fire Department received an interesting call from a local urgent care. The urgent care had been struggling for some time to remove a ring stuck on a patient’s finger and even broke their tool in the process. The staff had heard that Madison Firefighters had a knack for removing rings and asked if they could send the patient over to the Fire department. After her arrival it was safely removed within 15 minutes. The NJ Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has awarded a grant to the fire department for a total of $55,000. The American Rescue Plan Firefighter Grant Program is to be used to purchase personal protection gear. The Fire Department plans to use these funds to purchase turnout coats, pants, boots, and helmets. Finance and Borough Clerk Ms. Ehrlich, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: In anticipation of the June 4th Primary Election, the filing deadline for Nomination Petitions for Municipal Office is March 25, 2024. Candidates for Municipal Office must file Nominating Petitions in the office of the Borough Clerk by 4:00 p.m. March 25, 2024, the 71st day next preceding the day of the June 4th primary election for the general election Nomination Petitions for Independent General Election Candidates and School Election Candidates, are filed with the County Clerk before 4:00 p.m., on June 4th (the day of the primary election). Forms are available in the Clerk’s Office. Over the past several months, Council has discussed capital projects, revenues, utilities and open space. On February 12th there was a presentation on the Municipal Budget and fund balance. On February 26th, there was a number of presentations from the Department Heads. The budget is one of the most important decisions that Council makes. The process revolves around the 2014 strategic planning guidelines and we continue to be guided by this important document thanks to the excellent work of Ben Wolkowitz. Tonight, the Council will cover utilities and the municipal budget one final time. The hope is that there is a consensus to move forward and direct the staff to draft the official municipal budget document for Introduction at the March 25th Council meeting. Assuming that happens, the official document will be posted and available for review by the general public for 28 days. This is required by state statute. Municipalities like Madison that are in excellent fiscal health are permitted to ‘self certify’ the budget for two years in a row, and the third year, the budget must be reviewed by the State. This year Madison can ‘self certify’. The Borough strives to be transparent with the budget process. As a reminder, all of our presentations along with a number of other documents including the audit, annual debt statement, annual financial statement and alike are available on the Rosenet. The Unaudited Annual Financial Statement or AFS has been completed and sent to the state of New Jersey. The document is also available on Rosenet. This is a precursor to the Audit Report which comes out later this year. Larger Apartment and Condominium Complexes like General Wayne, Rolling Hills Court and the Madison Commons pay full taxes but they do not get full services. They typically have private companies plow their roads and pick up their garbage. State Statute permits these property owners to get reimbursed for certain expenses. The complexes submit all of their paperwork to the Purchasing Department and a reimbursement, which is based on the Borough’s costs, is processed. Special thanks to Stacey Dooley in the Purchasing Department for working on this important annual project.

The term "{runoff coefficient} **curve number**" applies to {both} the NRCS methodology above {and the rational and modified rational methods}. A {runoff coefficient} **curve number** or a groundwater recharge land cover for an existing condition may be used on all or a portion of the site if the design engineer verifies that the hydrologic condition has existed on the site or portion of the site for at least five years without interruption prior to the time of application. If more than one land cover {have} **has** existed on the site during the five years immediately prior to the time of PAGE 10 OF 22 Regular Meeting Minutes – March 11, 2024 application, the land cover with the lowest runoff potential shall be used for the computations. In addition, there is the presumption that the site is in good hydrologic condition (if the land use type is pasture, lawn, or park), with good cover (if the land use type is woods), or with good hydrologic condition and conservation treatment (if the land use type is cultivation).
