He led a discussion regarding a proposed ordinance for the Open Space Tax Referendum. He outlined recent collaboration with various committees and organizations that contributed to reforming the Open Space Commission and updating the Open Space Master Plan. The Mayor introduced a proposal to increase the Open Space Tax rate in Manasquan from 0.05 to 0.25 cents per $100 of assessed property value. He noted that this increase, as recommended by the Open Space Commission, would generate approximately $528,000 annually for the Open Space Trust Fund. Mayor Mangan highlighted that neighboring towns have successfully used similar tax structures to fund upgrades such as parks, playgrounds, and roadway improvements. In contrast, Manasquan has struggled due to limited Open Space funding, currently collecting the lowest amount in the area. He reviewed the history of the Open Space Trust Fund, including the purchase of the Sea Watch property following Superstorm Sandy and the related debt service. He further clarified that the fund supports recreation, park and land conservation, and the Blue Acres program—focused on flood mitigation through property acquisition. Following the presentation, Mayor Mangan opened the floor to council discussion. All council members expressed support for advancing the ordinance. The council unanimously agreed to recommend placing the Open Space Tax Referendum on the November ballot, emphasizing the importance of giving residents the opportunity to decide on the borough’s future. Members stated that the measure would be a positive and necessary step for long-term preservation and improvement in Manasquan. Sea Girt Avenue Speed Limit Interim Borough Administrator Rich Read presented and discussed lowering the speed limit on Sea Girt Avenue to 25 mph, following a traffic study that revealed high traffic volumes and speeding violations. The council has agreed to introduce an ordinance at the next meeting. The council acknowledges the multi- jurisdictional nature of the issue and plans to approach Wall Township about implementing similar changes on their portion of the road. He noted that the county section of the roadway already has a 25mph speed limit in place. Councilwomen Triggiano made a motion to open the workshop discussion to the public, seconded by Councilwomen Vidreiro . Motion carried unanimously. Lynette Viviani, Sea Girt Avenue, expressed her support for the proposed ordinance to lower the speed limit and stated that she would rally community backing for its passage. She thanked the council for taking an initiative-taking approach to addressing traffic concerns. Additionally, she brought up the issue of offshore windmills, noting that although the project is currently stalled, it is expected to return in the future. James Michko, Sea Girt Avenue, emphasized the difficulty in gauging vehicle speed when attempting to cross the road, particularly where the roadway narrows entering the Manasquan section. He expressed concern that this creates a dangerous situation for children and pedestrians, increasing the risk of accidents. Mr. Michko thanked the council for recognizing and addressing this important safety issue. Vince Viviani, Sea Girt Avenue, reported that he conducted his own study at 4:30 a.m., traveling approximately one mile from Broad Street to Route 35. He stated that there was only a 42-second difference in travel time when comparing the current speed limit to the proposed speed reduction. He reiterated his safety concerns and thanked the council for their attention to this matter. Pat DiSalvo, Sea Girt Avenue, raised the issue of cars parked in front of residents' homes being hit numerous times, with the drivers responsible often leaving the scene without stopping. Tara Michko, Sea Girt Avenue, reported that many children frequently cross the road to access various activities and shops in the area. She expressed concern that many Wall Township residents are not fully aware of the dangers associated with this roadway.  JULY 7, 2025 Carol DiSalvo, of Sea Girt Avenue, stressed that the traffic situation is worsening. She expressed concern for the safety of children and family members in the area. She thanked the council and emphasized the importance of seeing this issue through to resolution. Councilman Holly made a motion to close the workshop discussion to the public, seconded by Councilman Bryant. Motion carried unanimously. Second Avenue Parking Lot Ordinance Mayor Mangan discussed with council changes to the Second Avenue Parking Lot Ordinance, which will eliminate the one-way street provision and potentially add a three-way stop to improve traffic flow. Interim Administrator Rich Read presented an education campaign to help illustrate the plan to help reduce parking violations, including increased signage and arrows in the parking lot. He recommended that the ordinance be amended. Monthly Engineer’s Report Borough Engineer Joseph Raftery presented monthly report for June. Councilman Holly requested an update on the Streetscapes Project from Administrator R. Read. Administrator Read reported that the bid was forwarded for Wisconsin Bid Analysis and then forwarded to the NJDOT Civil Rights Division for approval.
