STATEMENT OF ADEQUATE NOTICE:
“Adequate notice of this meeting of the Township Committee of the
Township
of
Mendham
was given as required by the Open Public Meetings Act as follows:
Notice was given to the Observer Tribune and the Daily Record
on
January 10, 2005
; Notice was posted on the bulletin board in Township Offices and Notice was
filed with the Clerk on
January 10, 2005
.”
Richard Basta and Kurt Schmitt, representing E.I.
Associates and The Mylan Architectural Group, were present to review and update
the Committee on both the Brookside Firehouse and Police Headquarters projects.
The Firehouse project is expected to go out for bid in the
Spring of 2006 with construction conceivably within one year.
The next step for the Firehouse project, once approved by the fire
company and the first aid squad, is to appear before the Planning Board for site
plan approval. It was suggested that perhaps it would be more cost effective for
both the firehouse and police headquarters projects to be scheduled for bids at
the same time with both projects possibly awarded to one contractor.
There was some discussion about widening the existing entrance into the
public works property for access to the police headquarters with a separate
entrance for a police employee parking lot.
The timeframe for construction of that facility is 8-9 months.

APPROVAL OF BILL LIST
The Township Committee approved the charges listed by

HEARING PERSONS PRESENT
Upon motion duly made and seconded the meeting was opened
to the public.
Aloisia Boretti, 59 Tingley Road:
suggested that it would be better to extend the entire side of the
proposed police headquarters an additional two feet and continue the roof line
rather than have the conference room jut out on that side.
She also expressed concern with the response time from Mt. Pleasant Road
to the center of Brookside. She
asked how many people are members of Brookside Engine Co.
Mr. Pierson said there are 40 on the membership roll.
Mrs. Boretti feels that the proposed recreation room is too large and
should not include a bar. She also
thinks the first aid squad is not getting enough room in the building.
She asked when the public would vote on the project and Mr. Schrier
explained that the funding will be addressed during the budget process and while
the budget process provides for a public hearing, it is not voted on by the
residents. Mrs. Boretti said
the residents should have a say.
George McKinnell, West Main Street:
said the proposed footprint of the new firehouse was mandated by the
needs of both the fire company and the first aid squad and both groups were
involved in the process.
Mrs. Boretti said, according to her observations when
voting at the firehouse, the firemen don’t take very good care of their
building.
Mr. McKinnell asked what agency is in charge of maintaining
Patriot’s Path. He said there is a
tree down on the Path behind his property. Mr.
Mountain will follow up.
Mrs. Boretti noted the drainage ditch that runs from the
Middle School property below her property to Hamilton Drive has gotten smaller
over the years and water is now flooding her property.
No others asked to be heard.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was closed to the public.
Mr. Mountain noted correspondence received today relative
to equine activity issues and he will place the issue on the agenda for November
14th.
Chief Costanza suggested that the 2006 Fourth of July theme
committee consider honoring the Mendham Township Police Department on their 50th
anniversary.
Upon motion duly made and seconded the Committee went into
closed session at 9:43 p.m. Several
personnel matters were discussed. Mayor
Krieg updated the Committee regarding the gift of land to the joint library.
Mr. Mountain updated the Committee on a sinkhole problem in the Kendall
Court area and a potential acquisition of property was discussed.
Upon motion duly made and seconded the Committee returned
to open session at 10:35 p.m. There
being no other matters to come before the Committee, upon motion duly made and
seconded the meeting adjourned at 10:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted:
