Council President Lange said she had one comment and advised Council that the Fulling Mill site is on the State Historic Registry and we would have some expenditure for this property either way.

At this point, Mayor Forte called for a recess of Caucus session and commencement of Business Session. Council members went downstairs to the auditorium.

Mayor Forte led the Pledge of Allegiance and asked for a moment of silence.

He then called for Public Comment on Caucus items and agenda items only. The following residents came forward:

Roni Olizi, 424 3rd Avenue, regarding the banners, said that there will be little space for advertisement. She then addressed the matter of the sign for the Rain Garden and asked if it could be added to the agenda tonight. She explained that if we don’t follow through in a timely fashion – we won’t get grants in the future.

Joan Rossler, 107 9th Avenue asked if the banners were a different size than the ones previously purchased. She asked if new brackets would have to be purchased. Councilman Berryhill responded that the cost of brackets is covered in the cost to purchase the banners. She said that the committee liked the original banner size and asked what size the proposed new banners were. Berryhill said 30” x 60”. On another matter, Mrs. Rossler said that since the streetscape was done on Station Avenue, she has weeded and trimmed the plants and shrubs at the four plots and even planted flowers at her own expense. She said she worked with the Police Chief so the plants were at proper heights not to block vision on the corners. This, she said, she has done by herself with no other volunteers and that she is no longer going to do it. Mayor Forte thanked her for her efforts.

Bill Lange, 26 1st Avenue, asked if the old banners are still in existence. He was told that they have been returned to the residents who purchased them. He noted that the banners were taken down under the prior Administration and that now we want to put them up with no authorization. Councilman Berryhill said he feels we originally had the approval from the Planning and Zoning Boards and that we can put them back up without an okay from the Planning Board. He also said that he spoke with Tom Ferrese, Chairman of the Planning Board and was informed that, “it went through with no problem.” Mr. Lange said he just did not want to see another Governing Body doing what the previous Governing body did wrong.

Council President Lange asked Council why are we not using the banners we already have (tulips, flags, etc.) during the time the Committee is working on the fundraiser. The Mayor said we could put the banners back up and asked Tom Cella, Superintendent of DPW, who was in the audience. Mr. Cella said it would be done as soon as possible.

Brett Harrison, 515 Station Avenue, said he had no problem with the tulip banners.

Joan Rossler 107 9th Avenue asked what the businesses pay for the banners. She was advised that they pay around $300 each set with no monthly fee.

Brett Harrison said that the banners show the town’s support of the businesses.

Mr. Troutman, 1509 Chestnut Avenue asked Council if anyone approach Collingswood to see how they pay for the banners and lights around the business area. Someone responded that they believe the businesses are assessed a certain amount to cover the cost of banners and lighting.

With no further comments to come before Council at this point, motion to close the public portion was made by Council DiRenzo, seconded by Councilman Berryhill. All members present were in favor.

The Mayor said that a lot of spending will be reduced this year and thanked the Department Heads for their efforts in this matter. Mayor Forte reported that the tax increase will be .009%, which equals 1 cent and means a $22 annual increase for a home assessed at $250,000 and $27 for a home assessed at $300,000.

The Chief said he was neutral and feels it is up to the public. He said that, based on studies from Texas & M.A.D.D., there is no scientific proof one way or another that dry towns are any safer.

On another matter, Chief Kinkler advised the Governing body and residents present that were will be a resurfacing project on the bridge over Rt. 295 at the Black Horse Pike. Start date is April 4th, weather permitting. He suggested taking an alternative route to avoid the expected backup.

She added that the purpose of this discussion is to put a procedure in place on establishing memorials.

Recess of Caucus Session and Commencement of Business Session:

Mayor Forte asked those present to stand for a moment of silence and then Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Public Comment on Caucus items and agenda items only:

Joan Rossler asked why Resolution 2012:64 was coming up now. Council responded that it is just a matter of record.

John Schmidt, 1332 Maple Avenue said that banners were purchased as part of the Centennial celebration and sold to residents/businesses for $350 each with a $100 yearly maintenance fee.

Anne McAdams, 1006 S. Park, said that once advertisement is put on banners, they become signs. She said the Planning Board was asked and they agreed that the banners would be considered signs. Mayor Forte said there will be an ordinance on the agenda at the next council meeting and asked council members to contact the Planning Board Chair and Historic Preservation Review Committee Chair for their comments.

Brett Harrison, Village Cheese Shop owners, 516 Station Avenue said he has concerns about the banners and asked what will be on them. He said that he appreciated what the Mayor said about the Planning Board and Historic Preservation Review Committee. They are advisory and Council has the final say.

Anne McAdams, 1006 S. Park asked Council to look at zoning regulations before purchasing banners. Councilman Berryhill said he has looked at several times and will review it again.

Tom Ferrese, 413 Second Avenue, said that he is concerned that the Form Based Code is “under attack.” He said he was involved with the Form Based Code at the request of the former Mayor and said that a grant was received for the work. Someone asked who was on the committee and Mr. Ferrese said that Rose Fitzgerald, Dean Dukakis, Kevin Sheehan, former Mayor Alexander and Mike Mueller from Group Melvin Design all worked together in this effort.

David McGee, 304 Fourth Avenue, handed out a folder with information regarding the Group Melvin Design and billing to the Borough for work performed by the then CFO, Assessor and Planner on the Form Based Code. McGee said he called Mr. Melvin about the charges and was told, “He was following his client’s directions” and noted that no community visioning hours were done, but CFO did 8 hours, Assessor Tom Colavecchio did 27 hours and Mike Mueller did 90 hours. Mr. McGee asked Council, “How did we let this happen?” He said he wanted someone to be held accountable. Council President Lange said we can have the public meetings and then regroup that the Clerk was asked to coordinate at the last Council meeting, stating that this is a new administration and asked Mr. McGee if he can give the new Council a chance to review the problem.

Solicitor Olizi said he did not want to see the town get into trouble. Mr. McGee stated that Marie Holcombe did not meet her responsibilities. Mr. McGee said we should have a hearing and Councilman Berryhill agreed, saying he wants to call for hearings, swear in previous Mayor, etc. Berryhill also stated that we should not be taking money for the grant noting that he addressed these issues with the previous Council and the past Mayor; he said the company

should pay the money back to the Borough. He then stated that, “we can’t take grant money if we didn’t live up to our obligations. Solicitor Olizi asked Councilman Berryhill, “please, do not discuss legal matters during the public meeting”. Councilman Berryhill called for a closed session. Mr. McGee said he wants the public to hear what is going on.

Tom Ferrese asked if anyone on Council has received the Form Based Code, noting that the Code came into play the same time as Project Garnet and feels some of the money was used to push Project Garnet along. Councilman Berryhill agreed.

David McGee said he is not attacking the Code, it is a good idea, but is concerned about money being spent on R7 and leaves nothing for other areas of town.

Mr. Bill Troutman, 1509 Chestnut Avenue, asked if we could continue with the meeting.

Motion to adopt minutes from the February 21st Council meeting, as amended was made by Council President Lange, seconded by Councilman Berryhill. All members present were in favor.

Councilman DiRenzo asked Police Chief Richard Kinkler to come to the microphone to report on the controversial Suboxone treatment center located at Black Horse Pike & Prospect Ridge Blvd. Chief Kinkler said he took the initiative to call the state and they said they have no control over facilities like this. Chief said is it only a clinic and noted that the doctors in charge of the clinic were very forthcoming and friendly. He explained that the clinic will offer prescriptions, not drugs, for people seeking help as they go through withdrawal and there will be counseling sessions in the evenings. He said the Police Department will monitor the treatment center closely, but do not want to be intimidating. The Chief also advised everyone that the treatment center will have federal oversight.

Councilman Berryhill showed everyone what the sign for the Rain Garden at the Community Center will look like, explaining that the sign is for education purposes.

Illustration was slightly different from what was proposed to her earlier.

He noted that the Fire Department has cited whoever put the illegal pipe in at the back of the buildings. Mr. Wise said he has heard that a potential sale of the property next door to his business being sold to a church.
