Ron I'd be go thank you guys thank you thank you welcome Rash thank you nice meeting you i have a birthday Chief did you make note of that okay is he gonna be 17
so we will open up uh the deis over here for public comment any member of the public wishing to make a statement ask a question or if you are on Zoom we only see Amanda on Zoom now is your opportunity to make a statement or ask a question once again you are not
guaranteed of an answer or a dialogue i think we have one gentleman here you have a comment okay coming up to the microphone and state your name and address please good evening my name is Steve Rousavi
and I live at 129 Autumn Ridge Road in Bedminster can you spell your last name please sure it's a tough one it's Ravi spelled R I S as in Sam a V is in Victor Y thank you so the first thing I just
want to say is I think you guys do an absolutely fantastic job i mean in a really tough environment you guys don't hold any punches and you know I think the phrase is used too much you just do the right thing so having said that one
of the things I just want to talk about is that farmland assessment that's been in New Jersey since 1964 and I was on the phone call with uh Congressman Keane the other night he said that his district has the second
most um agriculture in the whole state of New Jersey i went to school down south Jersey and there's just a lot of farmland all over New Jersey and I just couldn't believe that that his district has the second most in the whole state
and then I remembered uh this guy who did an article for the Burnersville News and he said in Bedminster Township there are 320 farms and it's all because it's this thing where if you have more than five acres of property and you can sell
$1,000 worth of crops or $500 worth of wood you qualify as a farm and and I realized that in the state of New Jersey they're thinking about putting a farmland commission together to evaluate things but it always seems to get pushed away thought I remember when we had a
lot of car breakins in our neighborhoods was in the news like about maybe nine months ago and you guys did a great job with some of the other towns because the state attorney general didn't want to prosecute car thieves anymore and I
thought well Jay whiz isn't that your job and you guys said well we're going to do our own our own law and we'll just manage it locally and it I don't know but I just haven't seen any major news articles about how there's any more car
thefts going on in areas so one of the things I was just thinking about just food for thought is this of the 320 farmers that are supposedly in our township maybe if the very beginning of the year they have to pay $1,000 to apply to be a farmer at
Bedminster Township and maybe that would fund a person that could then say are they really farmers or not or are they just gaming the system so that's really the only thing I want to say is because you know Bruce Springsteen's a farmer
John Bonjobi is a farmer i think uh Woody Johnson's a farmer who lives in our town although I mean I I'd probably give him a pass if the Jets could get in the playoffs but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon so anyway I my my only thought was just to say all right as a way to basically either dissuade
people that are gaming the system to say "All right you know if you want to say you're a farmer that's great." And not take a step back i'm all all for protecting real farmers and I you know it's crucially important and there's got to be a way for the state to figure out
how to protect these guys as well but for our township that has a lot of they call gentleman farmers just to say guess what you're really a farmer okay well here's the fee now our town to do that and so that that's the only thing I
wanted to say okay thank you for your comments and again not for you guys again do an absolutely fantastic job so thank you thank you any further comments and Robin still nothing on Zoom no mayor okay uh we'll
proceed with the rest of the meeting we have three set of meeting minutes to approve march 17 that's our township committee meeting march

Bedminster residents only and that will um that will open up for non-residents as of May 1st uh to give space for all the Bedminster residents to um fill up the afternoon camps which some are already full and then we'll open up to
non residents on May 1st um and uh they're going to start hosting interviews for the um camp positions and the community service applications so those will be open on Friday April 11th
if anybody wants to apply uh some of the spring programs that are taking place are indoor adult volleyball uh began on Wednesday and there was 35 participants so that's a lot that's a great amazing and there's some soccer clinics taking
place and um and I think that's all for for right now that was my update maywoman Morusty good evening Mayor good evening everyone um just a couple quick things on Jacob's Vanir uh this Wednesday April 9th is another school
day um Somerville will be coming with 115 students and 12 from ACS um I forget who that is but my point is just they love to do the school programs we do them like twice a year um we get a whole
bunch of students to come in and tour the the um the building and they have uh other things outside such as the blacksmith um the lace ladies who they're they sit in one of the rooms and
do some weaving of the lace um Noah is a um reenactor and the man's amazing if anybody's gotten a chance to hear him his discussion of um of the the Revolutionary War and who
our our soldiers were farmers and you know basic down to earth people and there wasn't any money and um how how what a tough time these guys had especially in the winter um hope anybody ever gets a chance to to go to the school day it's a really good really
good event just to remind you the Field of Honor is uh June 7th um as we get closer I'll let you know what's going on at that let's see environmental Commission the stream cleanup that's coming up this coming Saturday um there's still room so
if you want to help clean up our waters go on to the Raron Headarters site i'm signed up for 22 over here at uh River Road Park i think there's still some room if anybody wants to join and the other thing they talked about a lot at our last meeting was the
styrofoam recycling i know we've been trying to get something done and it's looking like we are we're just going to try and uh see if we can get some good estimates of how much styrofoam a town like ours will actually collect that way
we can figure out if do we want to just do this a twice a year kind of thing um do we want to do this every month so they're going to be calling the the companies called Foam Cycle and uh calling them and and getting some numbers to see where we where we stand with how much foam we're probably going
to collect because part of our problem here in Bedminster is we really don't have a place to store it and as we talk about at EC a lot of us live on in the hills in that committee and we know there's no place in our house to store styrofoam so we're going to see what we
can we can work out and when I we figured that out I'll let everybody know and we'll sign them up great thank you thank you committee Man Hickey thank you Mayor good evening all board of health just a few quick updates uh from a programming perspective the board hosted
a cooking with herbs presentation last month as part of their healthy eating campaign that was very wellreceived and just a quick reminder the CPR AED certification program will return to town hall on Tuesday May 13th from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m the fee is $60 and the
registration deadline is a week from this Friday details are on our website you can register online but the spots are filling up quickly also the board is exploring potential ways to address hoarding situations they receive complaints from time to time but there's
little they or the county can do to issues happening inside the four walls of a home obviously they are looking to balance individual privacy and property rights while trying to address health concerns particularly in condo and townhouse developments more to follow as this
progresses and finally health department inspection reports are now available online these have been very long awaited and now can be and can be found now at inspections.mmyhealthd department.comscoo for summer so that's
on the so it's on the county website not on the bed minister township website correct we can put a we can put a link into it pretty easily and Robin you and I will work on that but it's right there you can plug in your favorite restaurant or retail establishment and read all about it as they used to say in the old public service announcements more you
know you put in your favorite restaurant then cross your fingers yes yeah it's all there and they will continue it's the most recent inspections are there and obviously as inspections occur during the course of this year and beyond they will all be there okay all right and mayor that's
all I have long long uh long overdue on that yes absolutely committeeman Stevenson thank you mayor good evening everybody just real quick on uh DBW continue to work on our dirt roads never ending task uh filling potholes
coming out of the winter uh we're also clearing the brush debris and getting those de that all chipped up uh Jason is even working at the open space signs installed uh as dictated by Trenton uh and of course the
trimming the fields and getting them ready for springtime sports which is my favorite time of year uh on uh the other update I've got is just shared court uh I wasn't able to make the HP the C meeting this past week uh but the shared court we had a meeting
uh two highlights out of that uh upcoming budget was approved all good and the second thing is that once again we find that Trenton is leaning on our locals and asking our municipal courts to do more work that the superior court
is usually asked to do with things like search warrants and the like so we're hearing yet more tasks down at the municipal level to be paid for by our taxpayers at the municipal level when in fact these are state type taxes that should be paid for by the state in my
opinion but more frustrating news on that front continues that's what I've got well you know it's interesting just to just to uh further that this is longstanding so this is not anything new um but the Bedminster uh
municipal court through the shared court processes um state police tickets so there's an expense associated with that and um the revenue generated from state police
tickets even though we're handling the administrative portion of that um we really don't see much at all um as far as revenue for handling that expense just another it's been that way for
years so it's nothing new but you know Doug just as you talk about the expenses that the state pushes back to the locals you know that's one opportunity for certainly for the state to get some revenue into uh the locals hands just a
yeah death by a thousand cuts yeah so from um my subcommittee reports um on subcommittees it's been a quiet time um farmers market I think was the only uh meeting that we hadn't since our
last meeting um I'm not going to we'll talk about budget and all the budget meetings we've been to uh since our last meeting farmers market it looks like we are well set up for the uh coming season um couple more vendors than we've had
before not running out of room just yet but it's getting a little tight out there uh but that's a great sign and so our volunteers are all um they're ready to go pickles confirmed pickles pickles pickles are confirmed
it was your request from uh when we started it well I assume my eight years ago seven years ago i get my pickles okay a bucket at a time your pickles will be there with
that administrator's report miss Ray uh yes Mayor so I've been primarily focused on um the preparation of the municipal budget um in addition to that I've been trying to work on uh funding uh
for the presidential assistance for our police and emergency services as well as grant preparation for the um DCA LEAP grant for a shared um shared um street cleaner with PPAC live fires
and that concludes my report okay all right chief uh I know you had a community policing event this last weekend just uh give us a quick update on community policing yeah i just want to say thank you to Starbucks Hill they hosted a coffee with the cop and they
were very uh generous and gracious and it was nice to partner with them the officers had a good turnout and spoke to a lot of the residents that's great we're working on um calendar for the year but that's all I have for now okay thank
you moving on we have um no introduction of ordinances tonight we do have a public hearing of an ordinance uh this is for the public hearing for ordinance number 2025002 take a motion to open up the public hearing so moved second
roll call vote please i'm sorry all in favor thank you sorry so this ordinance would establish um the authority to exceed the municipal budget appropriations limit and to establish a cat bank uh this doesn't
mean that we are going to do so uh this is something that we do every year to make sure that we have the option of exceeding the uh appropriations limit miss Ray you just want to fill us in on any of the other details associated with
this ordinance um not necessarily other than it allows us um you know we're not supposed to raise our budget by more than 2.5% unless we pass this ordinance we can go up to 3.5% should we need to and that's what this does it's just it's
an insurance policy for us okay and then we'll find out later in the evening if um we need to do so any uh further questions comments from township committee seeing none take motion to open
um the public comment section of the ordinance so move second all in favor i thank you so if any of the member has a comment regarding ordinance number 2025002 and how the cap bank works robin
would really appreciate getting some detailed questions seeing none and no member of the public on Zoom take a motion to close the public hearing for ordinance number 2025002 second moved second all in favor i thank
you okay now we need a motion to approve ordinance number 2025002 so move second roll call vote please mr stevenson hi mr hickeyi hi mki hi mr fernandez hi and Mayor Jacobs hi thank
you thank you we have one two three items on the consent agenda these are items of a routine nature any member of the township committee may pull one two or all of them offer individual consideration seeing no takers I'll take a motion to approve all the items on the
consent agendas so moved second roll call vote please mr stevenson hi mr hickey hi moreski hi miss Fernandez hi and Mayor Davis hi thank you so the first we have four
resolutions uh the first of which is or first resolutions that we are considering individually the first resolution is resolution 202569 this resolution authorizes the mayor intentional clerk to execute direct payment agreements with only those neighborhood
associations which will return signed direct payment agreements miss Ray correct um so this goes back 30 plus years uh the original was done back in 1993 for a 10-year period to 2003 um and
what this is is there was a a law that was established called the Kelly Bill that um in exchange for municipalities not providing services such as street plowing within those type neighborhoods um that we would pay for their street
lighting and um the fire hydrants so this uh resolution was put together back in like I said 1993 for a period of 10 years 2003 it was renewed in 2003 to 2013 and then renewed again um and
expired in 2023 so three 10-year periods it was renewed we felt that in 2023 there had been a lot of changes 2024 I should say a lot of changes um where the different neighborhoods have either used solar or LED gotten away from the old sodium lights so we thought it was best
to do a study so we um employed DPW to go out and um they actually labeled all of the street lights with metal tags and uh GPS them now we have this wonderful handy map of which lights are LED and
which are sodium and so um we now have this is good for the next 30 years anyway what we'd like to do is um renew the agreement it's exactly the same as it was in the past nothing has changed substantially other than um the list of
of neighborhoods we have two of the names that were incorrect on that list which have since been corrected and would like to send a letter out to all of the associations and um get going with the reimbursements for this year okay great any further questions or comments just quick question the
resolution mentions excuse me the agenda mentions ending December 31st 2034 this has it through December 31st 2035 on the reso itself okay we should definitely fix that because it's a 10-year period right right that should be corrected okay
I see that and do we want to do any review of the lighting during that 10-year period for those that go off of the sodium onto LEDs well so DPW is going to do a track they're going to check it every year and if we need to
make adjustments we will perfect now that we have everything GPS and identified it's a lot easier going forward makes sense okay so with the correction to the whereas provision in that's the one two
three second to last yeah fifth whereas provision uh take a motion to approve resolution 20250 so moved second roll call vote please mr stevenson hi mr hickeyi hi miss Moraski
hi mr hernandez hi and Mayor Jacobs hi thank you so the next resolution is I don't want to say it's culmination because that'll be at the uh the presentation at May 5 but this is the
introduction of the 2025 municipal budget um so we've gone through six budget work sessions um every Monday that we haven't had a regular township meeting uh we've had
budget sessions and uh we've had the directors from the Bedminster administration and staff attend we've had um police department of chief and
lieutenant we've had the fire departments um Pottersville 63 Bar Hills Bedminister 29 First Aid Bar Hills Bed Mister 29 um at our
auditor we've gone over items again and again and again we've gone over the tax assessments um we've gone over our capital budget and our debt and we do this every year and we
prioritize what B minister is going to be spending its tax dollars on and then looking at our revenue uh what we anticipate coming in both uh through tax and through non-ax revenue
sources and you know I know a lot of other towns um they might have one or two members from the township committee go meet with the administrator and then voila there's a budget that's not how we do it
so every member of the township committee we go through in detail and sometimes it's painful detail uh but in the end it's a budget that uh we all have ownership in uh both as far as
expenditures salaries and uh once again I just want to uh give recognition to Robin Ray for the amount of effort that she has put into looking at the numbers
looking at the historic numbers um corraling the township committee during the meetings keeping us on focus keeping us on focus and keeping us
on focus uh because those meetings can get a little unfocused unfocused yes so um the municipal budget uh let's just go to the total general um
appropriations is 13,370,739 compared to 2024 13,6,7519 and Robin those are all the numbers that's um something that is inclusive
[Music] of let's see these are inclusive of the library and school actually that's debt service in here so we'll go through all the details
uh during the May five presentation but after what we've gone through um we're ready to introduce now Robin is there is this the uh time that I'm supposed to read that last paragraph
or is that for the uh May 5th presentation that'll be for May 5th okay okay so reviewing the entire municipal budget with the revenue and appropriations so any questions or comments from township committee on

wants to put up for discussion under new business all right old business speaking of old not you but our old utilities yes how are they doing well I do have an update on New Jersey American Water speaking of old
utilities um as I mentioned last time Miss Ray Chief Bernardo and I were scheduled to meet with New Jersey American Water regarding their lead service line replacement program since our last meeting we did in fact meet to learn more about what was planned new Jersey American Water will be conducting
inspections of residences in the township predominantly in the older sections of town where lead or galvanized lines may exist practically speaking buildings constructed after the 1960s generally do not have lead or galvanized lines and New Jersey American
Water's biggest targets are homes built in the late to mid 1800s not that they won't look elsewhere but that's pretty much where they're looking you might be a target mayor here's a 17 thereabouts so as a result you may see
door-to-door inspectors who are expected to begin their work later this month the inspectors will be wearing high visibility co-branded vests New Jersey American Water and CDM Smith cdm Smith is their subcontractor they'll also be carrying New Jersey American Water ID tags the inspectors will introduce
themselves in the program and will then ask to enter the customer's home to inspect the water service where it enters the interior which is typically in a basement or in a crawl space the inspector will take exterior photos of the house and house number and interior photographs of the pipe material
inspections generally take about 15 minutes or less at no time will residents be asked for money any customer that prefers not to have an inside home inspection will be directed to alternatives including self-reporting here's the good news if lead or galvanized piping is identified
these materials will be replaced at no expense to the homeowner normally service line replacement or repair is on the homeowner but these efforts are fully funded with all replacements targeted for completion by 2031 we'll get info out on the
township's website and our Facebook page mayor that's all I have jcpno we had we had a call we we yes we we had we had a call to discuss some of the progress that's going on with respect to a lot of the work going on in Hills
Drive to provide additional redundancy and reliability uh JCPNL will be coming out here probably in miday to give us additional details senator Steinhard also joined that call with us um again we recognize that township has suffered
from an excessive number of utility failures over the last five years and particularly over the last year and a half and due in part to the pressure exerted by this body JCPNL is digging up old conduits and cables and putting in new lines new switch gear new uh
reclosers in order to more quickly restore power and we're going to get the details on that in about a month i don't know Mayor if you want to add anything yeah I just want to um once again I think I'm not sure if we talked about this at the last meeting that Bob Flynn who has been our interim Yes who's been our interim uh government liaison with
