Patrolmen Thomas (TJ) Meder Jr. #169 and Santiago (Santi) Rendon #170 were among the 69 recruits that graduated following 22 weeks of basic training. Mayor Conley was in attendance and along with Chief Miscia presented Meder and Rendon with their PTC certificates. Last week, Patrolman Brandon Lake #171 completed his waiver PAGE 4 OF 14 Regular Meeting Minutes – June 10, 2024 training at the Morris County Public Safety Training Academy. Lake has already been in field training and is expected to complete the police department’s field training program shortly. This past Friday, June 7th, members of the Madison Police Department joined surrounding towns: of Hanover Township, East Hanover, Livingston and Florham Park to once again run in this year 41st Anniversary of the Law Enforcement Torch Run [Route 1A]. The Special Olympics of New Jersey Torch Run is on the move with law enforcement officers carrying the Flame of Hope over twenty-six routes totaling approximately 750 miles throughout New Jersey. The Torch Run raises funds and awareness for the Special Olympics of New Jersey. Collectively, Madison and our law enforcement partners have raised over 16k this year. Madison Police Department is proud to have once again partnered with Defalco's Automotive & Towing and McCool’s to promote school aged children wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle. Madison Police Officers will be on patrol looking for children who make the right choice of wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle and if observed, they might be issued a reward ticket for one free Junior Soft Serve Ice Cream with one topping at McCool’s (26 Main Street, Madison). A special thanks to the Rempfer Family, Defalco's Automotive & Towing, Madison Police Community Service Bureau (Cpl. Aquino) and McCool’s Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Shop for making this possible. The Madison Police Department has instituted a Crime Prevention Unit following the training of six police officers. Residents can make a request to have members of the Crime Prevention Unit to come to their homes and make a home security assessments. The unit will also provide recommendations to further secure their homes. There will be more to come in the next several weeks, however a new rosenet webpage has been developed to provide residents with crime prevention information and be able to register for this security assessment. For the month of May the Fire Department responded to 180 calls. This included 73 fire calls and 107 EMS calls. 94 People were transported to the hospital. The fire department and the EMS division also responded to 7 motor vehicle accidents. On a lighter note, a Fire Chief from the Honolulu Fire Department contacted the Madison Fire Chief. He had come across pictures of the Madison Fire Department’s confined space/trench rescue trailer that the Madison Firefighters had fabricated in house. He was impressed and reached out to get more information. Soon the Honolulu Fire Department will have two trailers just like Madison. Finance and Borough Clerk Ms. Ehrlich, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: The Audit Committee met on Monday June 3rd. The only audit comment in the report was the ‘segregation of duties’ item which is a repeat comment. Many smaller towns have this issue, which is caused when a department collects payments and issues permits or other documents for residents. The appropriate practice would be for the customer to go to the department, get an invoice, go to a central payment window to make payment, and then take the receipt from that window to the department so they could finally pick up the permit or paperwork. Given the decentralized setup of the Borough with departments on different floors and in different buildings, it has been determined that it would be too costly to resolve this minor issue. The committee also discussed a new accounting rule called GASB 96, which requires the Borough to list all subscription contracts that are longer than one year. An example of a subscription would be our utility billing software or the software used to issue building permits. The audit will be finalized in the coming weeks and the results will be discussed at an upcoming council meeting. PAGE 5 OF 14 Regular Meeting Minutes – June 10, 2024 Public Works and Engineering Mr. Landrigan, Chair of the Committee, made the following comments: Mr. Landrigan noted that the Department of Public Works has distributed cones and barricades at various locations in preparation for and cleaned up after Memorial Day Parade, handled various issues related to recent power outage.

The Electric Department repaired electric lines damaged by a fallen tree and continues to work with Asplundh Tree Service on tree clearing. The Recreation Advisory Committee notes this is the final week of all spring sports and summer sports will begin as of June 17th.
