>> So, we're going to be doing a uh resolution uh for Italian Heritage um uh month uh here within Bernard Township. allow me to read a little bit from uh the resolution. Um, beginning in 1989,
Italian Heritage Month was first celebrated under the presidential and congressional proclamation to celebrate the cultural heritage and honor the achievements and contributions of Italian-Americans have made across the country. Whereas Italians began migrating to the United States in 1880
and today there are more than 26 million Americans of Italian descent in the country and over two million Americans of Italian descent reside in New Jersey. Whereas Italian-Americans continue to contribute to every area of society. And whereas Unico National, founded in 1922,
has for more than a hundred years served as a service organization of the Italian-American community with a mission to promote Italian-American heritage and to serve others benevolently impacting local communities while also serving as an esteemed national voice for Italian-Americans.
And whereas the local UNICO chapter in Basking Ridge has embraced this mission and fostered awareness, cultural pride, and community involvement, including hosting the second annual Ridge High School football unico bowl on September 12th, which raised funding for the local food bank. And whereas the service of
the Basking Ridge chapter Unico contributes to our township's focus on celebrating and valuing the cultures within our community. Um before uh taking a motion in second, allow my colleagues to offer any comments they might like to make. Uh
beginning with you, David. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. The Bernard's Township Committee recognizes October as Italian American Heritage Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the rich cultural heritage and contributions of Italian-Americans to our nation and our community. Italianameans have profoundly
influenced the history, culture, and progress of the United States. their achievements in the arts, sciences, business, education, and public service. Their enduring dedication to family, faith, and community reflects values that align closely with the character and spirit of Bernard's Township. As a
fourth generation Italian American, I take pride in recognizing the legacy and values passed down through generations. Values that continue to inspire service, hard work, and commitment to community. The township committee also wishes to acknowledge the outstanding work of
UNICO, the largest Italian-American service organization in the United States and particularly our local chapter of UNICO for its many years of community service, charitable work, and dedication to preserving Italian heritage. Through its scholarship programs, cultural events, and support
of local causes, UNICO exemplifies the spirit of service and pride that defines Italian-American contributions to our township. As we celebrate Italian American Heritage Month on this National Immigrants Day, the Bernard Township Committee reaffirms its respect for
cultural diversity, appreciation for civic service, and gratitude for the lasting impact of Italian Americans and the members of UNICO on both our township and our nation. >> Thank you, David. Anna, >> thank you, Deputy Mayor. I recently
spent 10 days in southern Italy, including Napoli, Pompei, and the Amalfi Coast, and was again impressed with the culture, history, traditions, and pride of the wonderful Italian people we met in our journey. Americans of Italian heritage, along with other groups that
we've recognized through the township committee resolutions, are part of our rich diversity that makes Burner Township a wonderful place to live. This is relevant as we approach the nation's 250th anniversary and reflect upon the positive impact that immigrants have had
upon our country and closer to home, our township. Personally, as a first generation immigrant, I value the importance of promoting one's heritage and traditions and UNICO. I see that value through all you do. UNICO is a vibrant partner in our community,
providing cultural enrichment and opportunities for volunteer service while welcoming to be part of that journey. I wish Nico continued success in promoting that mission in the years to come. Thank you. >> Thank you, Anna. I can't really say it
any better than my colleagues, but only to add um having grown up in Brooklyn, New York, a great many uh folks within my f friend friend group were all Italian-Americans. Um I am not uh by blood, but I feel like I am an honorary
one. uh and in many ways uh w was was was uh raised in that culture and uh really uh learned so much from them and and and consider them to be you know profound influences on my life. So um before we take a motion in a second I
would like to invite Nick Kuso who is uh part of the uh local UNICO chapter to come up and say a few words if he would like to. >> Sure. >> Nick Kuso 83 Village Drive. Um, thank you, Deputy Mayor, also a committee woman and committee Ming Tangitry for
the very kind words. Um, I'm a member of Unico here to accept the proclamation on behalf of the organization. Um, we are an Italian-American service organization, our chapter here in Basking Ridge, and it it means a great deal to us, not only to be honored this year, but continually year after year. I know u Mayor Fields is not here, but
she's also a member and is very proud of um of our organization and this proclamation as well. So, I want to just thank you all on behalf of the organization and um I appreciate all the kind words. Like I said, my grandmother um came here as a little girl from Sicily. So, um you know, it it means a lot to us to have to hear such kind
words of affirmation and to and to, you know, and to have this proclamation. It it really it means a lot to all of us. Thank you so much. >> Thank you, Nick. So, uh we'll take a vote and then I'll ask you to come back up and we'll do a picture. Um may I have a motion, please? I >> make a motion.
>> Second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Um, roll call. Kender. >> Ms. Dwarte McCarthy. >> Yes. >> Mr. Tan Cry. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor McN. >> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> All right. [Music]
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> We can honor Italian. We should have a >> counter. We're gonna Thank you. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thanks so much. All right.
Next item on the agenda is uh 6B resolution 2025-0366. Kendra, >> acknowledgement of responses to the New Jersey Division of Local Government Services calendar year 2025
dash state fiscal year 2026 best practices inventory questionnaire >> and uh Sean McCarthy the moneyman himself our chief financial officer will give a short explanation of this resolution. >> Certainly certainly good evening everybody. Um, so I just have a a very
brief report on the best practices inventory for for this year. Um, believe it or not, this is the 15th BPI that the township's completed. Um, as you might recall, the receipt of our final December 1st state aid payment is
dependent on our response to the survey. Um, so this year's survey included 70 questions. uh 37 of those being what the state considers to be core competencies, 13 best practices, and there were also 20 unscored survey questions on the on
the survey. Um so the minimum score requirement to receive that final 5% of our state aid was 32 points on the survey. Happy to report that we scored a 39.5. So well above uh that minimum requirement. Um that was a 39.5 out of a
possible 43.5. Um the survey itself was due on the 24th. So that's been completed and submitted. Um so the resolution that's on the agenda tonight is just to simply acknowledge that the township has responded uh to the survey. Um so unless
there's any specific questions on this survey itself, um that completes the report I have. >> My colleagues any questions? I spoke to Sean earlier today and first of all thank you for the work involved in this both you and others in the township staff that were involved in answering
the questions. Sean had shared that some of the questions at the beginning were largely finance and now it's sort of broader on operations. So appreciate all the work to do that. >> Um great to see that we are rating above median and that we are continuing to make progress there. So thank you for
all your work on that. >> Absolutely. Thank you, Anna. David and Sean, just thank you for you and your team for all the hard work on this. It's really appreciated and >> thanks >> Sean. You don't have an easy job, but I salute you and your staff for your
extraordinary work, not just on this, but on the work you do in day in day out to keep uh our fiscal house in order. And you do extraordinary work in that regard. So, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Um so, with that in mind, uh I'll take a motion, please. So move
>> second. >> Any further discussion? Uh hearing none on the on we'll take a roll call vote on the resolution. Kendra. >> Sure. Uh Ms. Toarte McCarthy. >> Yes. >> Mr. Tanry. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor McN.
>> Yes. >> Motion carried. >> Thank you. Um Kendra, any public work session tonight? >> None this evening. Deputy mayor. >> Any correspondents? >> None this evening. >> That brings us to public comment. Uh comments are welcome during the public comment period during this meeting on
any agenda item or any other matter over which the township committee has jurisdiction. However, if an ordinance is listed for its own public hearing on the agenda, please hold your comments for that particular public hearing. Public comment portion of the agenda is not structured as a question and answer session but offers an opportunity for
you to share your thoughts with the township committee. The committee may or may not address these comments during the meeting. However, all comments are considered. To address this body, the speaker must come forward to the microphone and state his or her name and address for the record. Each speaker is limited to five minutes. The clerk will
keep time. Please promptly yield the floor when time is called and return to your seat. Your cooperation in adherence to these rules of order will ensure an orderly and respectful meeting. Hereby open public comment. Come on, Todd. Don't go getting bashful on us now.
>> I didn't comment last time. Do I get 10 minutes? >> Tidlestein, Riverside Drive. I'll start with this. Um I would like to thank um Commissioner um Somerset County Commissioner Robinson for um getting
back to me. Two weeks ago, I went to the commission meeting um their agenda meeting and mentioned that um apparently they were going to send out the sample ballots on October 22nd
when early balloting early voting starts on the 25th. And being a third um class male, I don't think anybody would have gotten their ballots before they started voting. Um, she called me because she noticed that I might have looked a little
frustrated, but obviously she doesn't know when I'm aggravated, more likely, but she did call and they and they were able to move it up a little bit. I think there's a some type of state law
since I'm not I don't follow this stuff, but I think there's a state law that uh uh people who are on registering for voting for the first time, there's a end date and I guess they can't send those ballots out until that date's done with.
I would like the committee to make a a resolution basically and send it to the state asking they change the date so there'd be more lead times for people to get these sample ballots. What gives a sample ballot after you voted? And we were lucky that
there was no public question on this. So nobody get out do any research on this. They may not do anything, but I think we should at least voice our opinion on and I know the committee has voiced their opinion many times through the years to
the state and I I think there's something that would benefit everybody. Um, while I'm at it, let me hit this list of stuff. I see that the veteran signs are going up on the polls,
but I've noticed there's no street sign for Captain Ford Shaw for his lane. I would like the committee to put a sign up on both ends. They voted. It's a actual street. You know, it's there. I mean, they actually do
radar on it if they want it. So, I think uh he deserves to have the sign so it acknowledges and people know that it's um actually listed in his name. Um the drug box, I know Saturday was a big day. Everybody dropped their um
medication off. The problem is is that that lobby is only open onethird of the day during the week and not closed all weekend. I think a real pain in the butt for people to try to make it to that box
between 8 and 4:30 to drop off the stuff. I've mentioned this many years ago. I've mentioned it a couple of times. There's no reason that box should be at the police department lobby when it could be downstairs by the where the
voting box is. There's a camera there, so it should be safe. by more people come into this building than they ever go into that police department and it would just make it easier for people to use it. And I when I read the article
about it, I noticed there was other towns that do not have it in their police department that it's in their town halls wherever. So I don't think there's a problem. I don't think there's a a regulation from the DEA or from the um attorney generals that prevent us to
have this box downstairs where it's more accessible for people. Move since um voting ends next Tuesday. That's the last day when everybody goes and votes. Anybody who's holding these
mailin ballots or these ballots that they want to drop in a box, please use them. Do not go to the polling place and say, "Oh, I have my mail and ballot." Or act like, "Oh, I never asked requested a ballot because all you're going to do is
you're going to cause yourself a headache." It'll take more time, effort to do it at the polling place than to do it the way you asked for. And um if you don't want your ballots to be mailed to you, just call the county and ask them to stop mailing it to you.
I'd like to vote in person. Unfortunately, I can't because I work the polls. So, I don't have that occasion. But I've seen enough people who come in and with the envelope in their hands and tell them you have to come up here to drop in the dropbox. So,
save yourself that. Anybody who's listening right now, pass them on to your friends. Don't walk into the polling place and act silly like you've never heard this before because this is not a new thing. We've been voting with these ballots for a couple years now.
So, it's not a new thing. That's it. Thank you. >> Thank you, Todd. >> Thank you, Todd. >> Anyone else? >> I close public comment. Uh, that brings us to staff comments, township committee comments, and board liaison reports. Uh,
Pat, would you like to start? >> Uh, yes. Uh, nothing this evening, Deputy Mayor. Thank you. >> Thank you, Pat. Uh Kendra, >> nothing this evening. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. >> Thank you, counselor. >> No, thank you, Deputy Mayor >> David. Thank you, Deputy Mayor.
>> It was an honor to attend the first responders appreciation night last Thursday and to present a resolution celebrating the 115th anniversary of the Liberty Corner Fire Company. Bernard's Township is fortunate to have such dedicated men and women who serve with
courage, professionalism, and compassion. Their commitment to protecting our community day and night, and every circumstance reflects the very best of public service. Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors that made that evening a success. Congratulations to the Liberty Corner Fire Company on
115 years of outstanding volunteer service. And thank you. Thank you to all our first responders and their families on this National First Responders Day. On September 27th, I had the honor of attending the Bernard Chinese American
Association Mid-Autumn Festival at the Ross Historic Ross Farm representing the township committee. The music, dance, and performances were exceptional and beautifully showcased the richest of Chinese culture. It was inspiring to see all our community come together in
celebration and shared appreciation of these vibrant traditions. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Jean Zo for her outstanding leadership and dedication in organizing such a memorable event. Reports of parks and wreck um township
field of honor. Um we ask that you make a donation to sponsor a flag in honor of a veteran in our annual field of honor display on the front lawn of town hall. Donations are accepted through October 31st. Flags will be on display during the month of November. Donations benefit
community hopes hope for veterans programs at the Lions VA campus, which ensures a safe haven for 106 homeless and disabled veterans every day. Please join us for the dedication ceremony this Sunday, November 2nd, at 12 p.m. in
front of town hall. The ski and board club participant registration is open with limited space available for residents grades sixth, seventh, and eth. There will be four Sunday afternoon trips on January 4th, 11th, 25th, and February 1st to the
Shauny Mountain Ski Area. So see the township website for that. And finally, Rucker Safety Coaching Clinic will be held on Wednesday, November 12th from 6:00 to 900 p.m. at the municipal building. Registration is free for residents and $45 for non-residents.
Thank you. >> Thank you, David. Anna, >> thank you, Deputy Mayor. In our consent agenda, we do have the resolution commemorating the 115th anniversary of the Liberty Fire Company, and I also want to extend my congratulations to the company on achieving this extraordinary
anniversary. The Liberty Corner Firehouse has been able to remain viable for the past 115 years, including recruiting volunteers, retaining existing members, managing day-to-day operations, ensuring supplies and resources, fundraising, and most
importantly, providing safety and security to our community, all amidst changing environments. This is indeed a remarkable achievement. I too offer the fire company my gratitude and respect to all the volunteers for all that has been accomplished in service to my our
community and my hope for a strong partnership in the years to come. A couple of updates. Um the annivers 250th anniversary committee met. Uh Melanie Morano, Somerset County Commissioner and Deputy director who's the liaison to the county's cultural and heritage
commission was a guest at our meeting on October 22nd. We shared our progress for the year, including our logo contest, um the township's anniversary event on September 20th at Farmstead, and the committee's presence at the mayor's fall festival. And the feedback is that
Bernard's from Commissioner Morano is that Bernard's Township is really hitting it out of the park on preparation for the 250th. And gearing up for 2026, our signature program will be a series of events presented from December 10th through the 15th, 2026,
focusing on aspects of General Charles Lee capture, its impact on the war, and the connection to several prominent citizens of Basking Ridge at the time. You'll probably hear me talk about this at every meeting because we really want people to get excited about it. A couple of the committee members are here. And
uh as background, the capture of General Lee at Widow's Whites Tavern is one of the earliest and most dramatic events to occur in Bernard's Township. There's a sign that commemorates where the Widow Whites Tavern was on South Finley Avenue and more to come as we gear up for 2026.
The environmental commission and agricultural advisory committee would like to share that we are going to have pumpkin recycling rather than the pumpkin smash this year. Um, English Farm has a non-negotiable date to deliver product to market. In lie of the
smash, English farm will provide a pumpkin drop off site from November 8th through the 22nd. U, they will compost any clean pumpkins and will provide a collection bin with appropriate signage. Clean means free of paint, sparkles, or any glued-on decorations. And more on
this recycling opportunity will be communicated on the township website and social media. U as Todd mentioned, the municipal alliance hosted the uh National Prescription Drug Takeback Day on October 25th at the police department, which gives residents a safe
and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired medication. And uh Todd, to your point, I'm going to, you know, just talk with the health department the utilization is of the space. Um to that extent it's a national day so generally more people are aware of it and will
come u but we certainly want people to avail themselves all year long. So it was a successful program and thank you for that feedback. Uh the township has also using opiate settlement funding um is will now have a recoveryfriendly
community program. Um Mr. Mike Manion will be the community recovery champion for Bernard's Township with the community and crisis prevention and recovery program and he'll lead this program and he shared his role at our most recent municipal alliance meeting.
He will actively work with residents and stakeholders, local faith leaders, government, schools and first responders, and the town's municipal alliance committee and community law enforcement programs. And these relationships he'll builds will help to
hopefully provide more effective delivery and management of services ranging from one-on-one recovery coaching, educational workshops and training, and providing navigation to treatment and higher levels of care. Um, on economic development, committeeman
David Tenredi and I met with Jessica Palini, manager of the economic development Somerset County office, and Colleen Morris, Somerset County Administrator. We learned about Jessica's role, the resources our township can leverage, along with hearing examples of how communities are
using these resources locally, and David and I look forward to continued conversations with Jessica in support of economic development. Um, we mentioned our uh deputy mayor might mention the mayor's fall festival. I want to thank members of the environmental committee, the anniversary committee, and the
municipal alliance along with our first responders and all who participated to make this a really great event. And to Jen Gander and the team in DPW who brought the community together on a beautiful Saturday fall day. Um, and in case you are not aware, the members of
the environmental commission have planted a pollinator garden along the back of town hall and we were able to recruit volunteers at the fall festival to help with the upkeep. Um, unfortunately, I was unable to join the dinner of the first responders dinner as
we were at the third wedding this year from the class of Ridge High School 2013. That is the year my daughter graduated. However, I heard it was a remarkable dinner. I want to thank the mayor and the committee chairs Dolores Sierra and Bob Fod and all the members of the committee. I heard it was just
wonderful and it is so important to say thank you for those who make our lives better and so um I join my colleagues in my appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional service of our first responders. And then lastly um you know generally I don't focus on national
politics. However, this hits a little closer to home. Um, as of today, New Jersey was notified by the federal government that if the shutdown continues, if the folks in Washington don't figure it out, um, the SNAP program or the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program will not be available beginning November 1st. And so, um, last year the county board of social services shared that even in Berners Township, there are about 40 residents, if not more, who filed for applications for SNAP. So, in light of that, please
consider donating to our local food pantries. Um, we have, you know, the primary food bank, the food bank network of Somerset County, the Franklin Food Bank here locally. We have God's Co-op Food Pantry, among others. So, just think about that um as we approach a
time when folks may have needs. And then lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to the Burners Township residents running for local and county offices, including for Burner Township Committee Committeeman David Tanky, Mr. Bill McMahon, Mr. Brett Hodgeges, and
Mr. John Tomkins, for county commissioner, Commissioner Elizabeth Grainer, Mr. Nick Kuso, and for county surrogate surrogate Tina Jal. As they know, and we know here on the day, running for office can be both exhilarating and exhausting. and for the
candidates and their loved ones and all involved as volunteers supporting the campaigns. It is indeed a long road. I commend their spirit to service and wish them well in the final days of the election. Thank you. >> Thank you, Anna. Just a few things for
me. Um some of which echo some of the comments that uh my colleagues had made. Uh the mayor's fall festival was a great success and thank you to everyone who came together in order to make that possible. In a similar way, um the first responders appreciation dinner uh held
last Thursday was a really wonderful evening and our way of being able to honor the great service that the police department, the Liberty Corner, Fire Department, the Basking Ridge Fire and EMS squads do for us. These are people
who run to uh situations of danger and help of others. Uh situations where every human instinct tells you to run away from, but they run towards it. So we certainly uh honor their service. I want to thank Dolores Sierra and Jim Fod who helped coordinate all the people who
came together to make this possible. Certainly the members and leadership of all those departments and squads. Uh Congressman Kaine, Assemblywoman Munoz, Assemblywoman Matudis, uh Representatives of the County Prosecutor's Office, and uh really she's
not here tonight, but um Mayor Fields pours her heart and soul into bringing that all together. So, I'd like to thank everyone for a most wonderful evening. Um, uh, Field of Honor, as Dave mentioned, uh, is noon this Sunday, uh, here at the
municipal complex. You can still, um, um, uh, donate, uh, for a flag. It's a really beautiful event. I would encourage everyone to come. Um, and then, uh, on the subject of the election, I would like to thank all the people who work at the polls, whether on
election day or early. Um, you know, I always make it a point to go and thank them for the work that they do in order for us to have this right uh to vote. And then finally, uh would also like to congratulate uh the Liberty Corner Fire Company on their 115th anniversary as
Anna had mentioned. Uh that concludes my reports for this evening. And moving on, that brings us to a fire and rescue appointment. Kendra >> resolution 2025-0358 appointment to membership in the
