Consideration of Override of Veto of Ordinance 25-1576 : Resolution 2025-370 Overriding Vero of Ordinance 25-1576 Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5(d) WHEREAS, November 24, 2025, the Borough Council of the Borough of Milltown adopted Ordinance 25-1576 entitled “An Ordinance to Amend Chapter XXV, Water, Section 25-7.23, Replacement of Water Meter of the Revised General Ordinances of the Borough of Milltown” (hereinafter “Ordinance 25-1576”); and WHEREAS, following adoption of Ordinance 25-2576 by the Borough Council, the Mayor of the Borough of Milltown exercised his authority under N.J.S.A. 40A:60-5(d) to veto Ordinance 25-1576; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Borough Council of the Borough of Milltown, County of Middlesex, State of New Jersey, that Ordinance 25-1576 is hereby duly adopted and shall be in full force and effect according to law. Before the vote, Councilman Posnansky sought clarification on what a "yes" or "no" vote would mean. Borough Attorney Peter Vignuolo explained that the motion is to adopt a resolution which would override the veto, so a vote in favor of the motion is a vote to override the veto, while a vote against the motion is a vote not to override the veto. Mayor Murray explained his reasons for vetoing the ordinance. He stated that he vetoed it because of the fees and fines associated with the monthly fines for residents, especially considering that at the time, Milltown had not yet installed the meters in borough buildings. He expressed uncertainty about whether the meters had been installed in borough buildings and felt the ordinance should have been considered differently when imposing monthly fines on residents while billing is done on a quarterly basis. Councilman Posnansky agreed with the mayor, noting that he had looked at an opt-out option as a possible solution. While recognizing that approach wouldn't be implemented, he emphasized his desire to find solutions and stated he did not want to see people saddled with fines.

Councilman Posnansky asked for clarification, noting that the person does not have certifications and asking whether there is a timeline for acquiring the certifications, which he believes are very important for this position. Council President Zambrana indicated the information was in the attachment from Judge Heitman, which does not state a specific time frame but does indicate that the starting salary will be at an entry level and will increase once the certification is passed. ROLL CALL VOTE Motion Second Aye Nay Abstain Absent Council President Zambrana X X Councilman Collins X X Councilman Manco X Councilwoman Payne X Councilman Posnansky X Councilman Potter X Reports and Comments from Elected Officials Council President Zambrana - Finance, Administration, Planning, Personnel Council President Zambrana offered a short summary related to human relations. He wished everyone a happy Hanukkah, explaining that Hanukkah is the festival of lights commemorating a miracle where oil in the temple lasted eight days. He noted the holiday is celebrated by lighting a nine-branch menorah nightly, eating fried foods, spinning dreidels, and giving gifts symbolizing hope and perseverance. He extended thoughts and prayers to those in Israel who unfortunately may not see Hanukkah again, reading a message from his rabbi in New Brunswick that "our light has been Page | 16  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm challenged before and it's never been extinguished." He concluded by reading the message on behalf of himself and the rest of the Human Relations Committee. Councilman Collins – Environmental, Health, & Social Services Councilman Collins reported that the Environmental Commission could not meet last Wednesday due to technical difficulties with Zoom. He received a message from the chair and anticipated another meeting at the beginning of the year. He read the library program schedule, which included: Tuesday, December 16 - Exploration Station program for 1 to 5 year olds (registration required); Wednesday, December 17 - Movie Matinee "Witness for the Prosecution"; Saturday, December 20 - Ugly Sweater Bingo, Pizza, Craft, and Read to a Pooch; Monday, December 22 - Adult Coloring; Tuesday, December 23 - Drop-in Play; Saturday, December 27 - Crochet for Beginners and Lego Club; Monday, December 29 - Family Coloring and Pizza; and Tuesday, December 30 - Vinyasa Slow Yoga and Library Book Club. Councilman Collins noted the library will be closed on Wednesday, December 24, Friday, December 25, Wednesday, December 31, and Thursday, January 1. The library staff wishes everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. Councilman Manco - Utilities Councilman Manco reported on the Electrical Department's activities, noting that in the interest of brevity, much of the basic maintenance work had been done. The department installed new street lights and removed flags, handing them over to the American Legion for refurbishment. Electrical meters were fixed, and holiday snowflakes were taken out of storage and checked for proper operation prior to hanging. He noted that the removal of large trees on Durst Avenue has really improved visibility when pulling onto that street. He also mentioned that somewhere near the basketball court, trees or branches were cleared and either a new light was installed or a much better light was fixed and installed. Many people who walk their dogs in that neighborhood, especially women, have commented that the improved lighting was well-deserved and they appreciate it. Councilwoman Payne – Public Safety Councilwoman Payne presented the police report for November 1-30, during which the police responded to 1,402 calls for service, conducted 116 radar details, made 671 motor vehicle stops, and investigated 21 motor vehicle accidents. There were a dozen arrests for shoplifting, DWIs, and active arrest warrants. On traffic safety, new no-parking signs have been installed along a portion of Garber Avenue to ensure adequate access for emergency vehicles. Additionally, both Garber and Yarnell Avenues now have no- parking signs placed 50 feet from the stop signs at Main Street to improve visibility, enhance safety, Page | 17  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm and provide necessary turning space for garbage trucks and other large vehicles entering these streets from Main Street. Councilwoman Payne noted this issue was raised by residents at council meetings and expressed her appreciation that the police responded, with DPW Director Ralph also helping out. She reminded residents that vehicles will be ticketed if left on the street during snow events. The chief checked in with her the day after the recent snowfall and reported issuing around 80 tickets in the morning, noting there would have been more but the shift ended. The police department has been particularly busy this holiday season with DWI patrols, so residents may notice an increased police presence. The chief will be assigning officers to conduct random DWI patrols throughout the season, funded through the New Jersey Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund, a grant supported by funds collected from convicted intoxicated drivers. Every impaired driver removed from the road helps protect and save lives. Councilwoman Payne reminded residents to sign up for Civic Ready, noting that currently fewer than 2,000 residents are enrolled, meaning many neighbors may not receive vital alerts about emergencies, road closures, or power outages. She urged everyone to sign up and remind family, friends, and neighbors to do the same by texting "MILLTOWN" in all capital letters to 38276 or going online to the borough website under "Alerts and Notifications." She also reminded residents of the non-emergency police line: 732-828-1100. For the Milltown Fire Department, there were 21 total incidents in November and 315 year-to-date. Notable fire calls included coverage with North Brunswick where a dumpster fire at the movie theater was extinguished by the Milltown crew, and a tractor-trailer crash on the New Jersey Turnpike where the crew used a Hurst tool to cut the driver out of the truck. A highlight was the 75th anniversary celebration honoring George Guise for 75 years of service. The event was well-attended by council members and the mayor, and a memorial sign for "George Guise Way" was installed on the driveway into the firehouse. Councilwoman Payne noted that Mr. Guise, who is 97 years old, looks fantastic. The Fire Department has received new rescue equipment at no cost, which has enhanced their capabilities and was helpful during the tractor-trailer incident on the turnpike. December will see the installation of a new deputy chief. Santa will arrive on the Santa tour on Saturday, December 20, starting at 6 PM. A new cadet application was approved by council tonight. The Milltown Rescue Squad reported 61 total calls in November: 43 in Milltown, 10 on the turnpike, and 6 mutual aid calls. They will also be joining the Fire Department in driving Santa around town and are looking to recruit new members. Councilwoman Payne thanked the rescue squad for their service, particularly during the holiday season. Councilman Posnansky – Public Works & Recycling Councilman Posnansky first thanked Councilwoman Payne for bringing up George Guise, calling him a true treasure and noble man of Milltown. He noted that most of his report would come up during council comments. Page | 18  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm For Public Works, he reminded residents to check the DPW website for notifications about changes to garbage collection schedules during the holiday season. Leaf bags are still available Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM at the Borough Garage. All snow removal equipment such as plows and sanders have been prepped and are ready for the winter season, as evidenced a couple of days ago. The electric speed sign on Oaks Avenue is now up and working very well. Councilman Potter – Parks & Recreation Councilman Potter reported that winter registration is now open for adult yoga, Pilates, men's basketball, and women's volleyball. The Angel Tree lighting was held Friday, December 5, and he thanked everyone who came to support the kickoff for the holiday season, with special thanks to Santa and Mrs. Claus, the Grinch, the Milltown Fire Department, Kate Pastore, the RE/MAX Country Team, Mr. Gary Wittman, Miss Mangarella and the JK Band, St. Paul's Church, the Girl Scouts, the DPW crew, Russell Einbinder, and Lauren Couchard. Fresh Theater Arts program registration is open with classes beginning February 3. Indoor soccer clinics had great sessions with the final session on Thursday, December 18. There was a great turnout for cooking classes at Marcel's Kitchen in East Brunswick, with today being the final class. Winter youth basketball registration is still open, closing on January 4. Registration is also open for other winter youth programs including chess, kids’ yoga, and Mad Science Funky Forces. The deadline to donate new gloves or gently used jackets, coats, scarves, hats, and gloves is Friday, December 19. Registration is still open, but seats are limited for the Price is Right Family Fun Night at the State Theater on Friday, May 1. The Milltown Recreation Department thanked everyone for their support this past year and looks forward to another great year of programs and events in 2026. On behalf of the mayor and council, Councilman Potter thanked Recreation Director Kim McGrath and her staff for a great year and wished her the best of luck and a speedy recovery on her upcoming surgery this week. The next Planning Board meeting is Wednesday, December 17. The Fourth of July Committee has two upcoming events: Saturday, January 24 - Karaoke Night at the Milltown VFW, and Saturday, April 18 - the first annual Red, White and Brew to the Decades event at the American Legion, with additional details to be shared in the coming months. Mayor Comments Mayor Murray wished all borough employees and residents a happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a safe and healthy New Year. Reports from Borough Professionals Borough Attorney Peter Vignuolo Borough Attorney Vignuolo had no report. Page | 19  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm Borough Engineer Lou Ploskonka (CME Associates) Borough Engineer Ploskonka provided an update on the meter replacement project. To date, 2,379 meters are completed, representing approximately 91.5% completion. Two additional meters are validating, 11 are now scheduled and assigned to be replaced, 173 remain unscheduled, and 50 are incomplete for various reasons. The Foch Avenue improvement project has been submitted to the DOT for authorization to bid. In anticipation of receiving that authorization, CME will start putting together a bid schedule with the QPA for the borough. On behalf of all staff at CME Associates, he wished everyone a happy holiday season and a safe and happy New Year. Mayor Murray asked Borough Engineer McClelland to hold up a signboard. The signboard displayed an award the borough received for the battery project, for which CME won first place in the state of New Jersey from the engineering committee. Borough Engineer McClelland noted that the engineering committee was impressed with Milltown's batteries, explaining that many towns cannot undertake such projects because they don't own their own electric utilities, so this is really Milltown's award as well. Borough Clerk Gretchen McCarthy Borough Clerk McCarthy had nothing to report. Old Business No old business was brought before council. New Business B.A.N. Certificate of Determination and Award Council President Zambrana explained that Borough Administrator Carr was unavailable due to a meeting in Spotswood and CFO Joe Zanga was in South River, so he was asked to read information about the BAN (Bond Anticipation Note) Certificate of Determination and Award. He explained that every year the borough refinances debt to save costs, and it's best to do so when the interest rate being refinanced is higher than current rates. The borough was awarded approximately $200,000 last year for a fire truck, which will cost over $1,000,000 and is anticipated to be delivered sometime in 2026. This was the impetus for refinancing the debt, as refinancing only occurs when actually needed in that year. Public Comment Mayor Murray opened the public comment portion of the meeting, explaining that it allows the public to bring concerns and comments to council's attention. He reminded speakers that the council will respect their time by refraining from comment until the speaker is finished, noting this is not Page | 20  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm structured as a question-and-answer session. Individuals are limited to a five-minute period and may, after other speakers have finished, speak for a second five-minute period. Debbie Miller, 92 Ford Avenue, asked if there were any updates on the fire station appraisals. Council President Zambrana responded there were no updates at this time. Ms. Miller noted that residents received letters about water contamination and the department trying to rectify the problem. She asked where the source is being tested—at the beginning where water comes in from New Brunswick or closer through the town. Borough Engineer McClelland explained that while CME has not been directly involved, he believes testing is being done at the water storage tank out towards Home Depot. Ms. Miller asked if that means the contamination could be from New Brunswick or as the water travels to the tank. McClelland explained they are checking for trihalomethanes (THMs), which are disinfection byproducts from New Brunswick's chlorination system. Over time, organics degrade from the chlorine. He indicated they may be finding either organics or a potential for contamination. He knows that Mr. Carr has the water department flushing and believes the problem is under control. He acknowledged the concerns but noted many towns have this similar problem. New Brunswick is working on their treatment system to reduce organics, which should solve Milltown's problem as well. Ms. Miller thanked the council and mentioned that a representative came to change the library's meter today, and it looked great and went smoothly. Seeing no further public comments, Mayor Murray closed the public comment portion. Council Comments Councilman Collins thanked all residents for giving him the opportunity to serve them on the town council. He wished all the best to his fellow councilmen for the new year and the challenges ahead. He stated he will continue to work on the committees and organizations in Milltown to make it a great place to live. He wished happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to all residents and workers. Councilman Potter stated it has been a privilege to serve alongside Councilman Collins on council and wished him continued success in all his future endeavors. He also wished all residents a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Councilman Posnansky asked to speak last. He began by honoring the military and the heroes who gave their lives on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941, which President Roosevelt called "a day which will live in infamy." He described the unprovoked surprise attack by Imperial Japanese Air Forces that devastated military installations at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, forcing the United States into World War II. The American people rallied with patriotism and humanitarianism for all those suffering tyranny around the globe. America has always fought for freedom because to so many, that is what the flag represents. Page | 21  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm He then addressed his committee work, noting he is finishing his second year and is uncertain where he will be on committees next year, but wanted to thank many people who keep Milltown functioning well for residents and taxpayers. He thanked Chief Johnson and all dedicated, well-trained police officers who leave their families every day to serve and protect residents' families. If people feel safe in Milltown, they should thank an officer. He thanked Chief Fama and the loyal, brave volunteer firemen who are always ready day and night for whatever emergency may come their way. The rescue squad is well trained and staffed with caring, calming volunteers ready for calls, and residents should remember them if they have helped in times of need. He thanked DPW Director Ralph Jasianowski for his dedication to Milltown, his employees, and the details of his department, calling them a well-oiled machine. He asked residents to remember the DPW workers, whether plowing while residents sleep or working in deep trenches at 3 o'clock in the morning in 12-degree weather fixing water main breaks. He thanked Debbie Cuddy for her stellar job keeping things running smoothly at the senior center, noting she has given 22 years of dedicated loyalty, providing much-needed stability. Bob Skarsinski has been president of the senior center for over 18 years, and Councilman Posnansky appreciates both Debbie and Bob for making his job easier. He joked that Bob, a rather shy, modest man, wants no accolades or fanfare when he leaves—only a life-size statue in his honor. Councilman Posnansky stated that Councilman Collins is responsible for him sitting on council and keeps apologizing for getting him into this. He knows that Councilman Collins feels as he does—that people sometimes feel invisible, and someone has to be the voice for those who are voiceless and forgotten. He is thankful that it is an honor to be that voice that gives hope to their struggle. While it seems he and Councilman Collins fight lost causes, the lost cause is the only cause worth fighting for. He noted that Councilman Collins's departure from political life coincides with his next endeavor as a ski instructor, and he asked everyone to thank him and wish him well with another round of applause. He concluded with a Christmas message, offering two quotes: "Remembrance like a candle burns brightest at Christmas time" by Charles Dickens, and "Christmas waves a magic wand over the world, and everything is softer and more beautiful" by Norman Vincent Peale. He wished Merry Christmas to those who believe, Happy Hanukkah to those who honor the Jewish faith, and a healthy Happy New Year to all. Mayor Comments Mayor Murray thanked Councilman Collins for all his service on Borough Council and all the committees. He also thanked the Milltown Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons Number 294. He and his wife were honored to be invited to attend the installation of officers for 2026. He congratulated Worshipful Master Matthew Van Barclan and the new installation of officers who were sworn in last night. He explained that the Freemasons is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, arriving in the early 1700s and deeply involved in community service and charity like Shriners Hospitals, predating many other civic groups and making its foundation a part of America's volunteerism and fraternity. The Page | 22  BOROUGH OF MILLTOWN 2025 Borough Council Meeting Minutes December 15, 2025, at 7pm Milltown Lodge Number 294 Free and Accepted Masons was constituted on May 17, 1958, located at 30 North Main Street, Milltown. It was a very nice ceremony. Executive Session – Resolution 2025-383, Pending Litigation Borough Clerk Gretchen McCarthy read Resolution 2025-383 by title: Entering into Executive Session for Pending Litigation.
