>> yes. >> Councilman Ellis, >> yes. >> Council President Argenzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Chelina, >> yes. >> This is 6. >> Okay, that brings us to correspondence. There is no correspondence this evening. Financial Business Resolution 251-25.
May I have a motion to approve this resolution uh the October 21st, 2025 bills list? >> Second. >> Roll call, please. >> Councilwoman Rice, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Sers, >> yes. >> Councilman Ellis, >> yes.
>> Council President Orenzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Chelino, >> yes. >> Okay. Um, that brings us to unfinished business. The first item is location of electronic sign. Um I just want a consensus from the governing body that
we are going to replace the electronic sign in the exact space that the um old sign is right now um on the triangle of Van Wagner Park between Emerson Plaza West and the rail station. Is everyone
in agreement with that? and then we can move forward with a zoning permit and it takes according to KNC um six to eight for production and then they can install it. Everyone okay? Consensus everyone? Yes. No objections. Okay. So we will move
along with that. Uh the next item on our agenda is the discussion of the salt bin renovation which we did discuss with Perry Salamando at our next meeting. Um, after Perry left, if you watch the tape, um, there was a little bit more discussion. So, I thought that we should
put a pin in that and continue the discussion. Our interim administrator, Richola, has joined us this evening for the meeting. Um, CA uh, Katherine Ora >> Oriana is with us from um, our engineer in case anyone has any questions about
the engineering of it. Um, Rich, did you have some comments about the salt shed? Uh just the fact that it's obviously needed. Uh I glanced through the minutes of the last meeting so I have a gist of what was going on. >> Can you speak into your microphone please?
>> I have a general idea of what was uh discussed at the last meeting. Just reinforce the fact that um there is no other location. Uh this building has been in disrepair or at least u close to it for a number of years. Um, I know
there was a conversation, I think the mayor even addressed it about building another temporary facility across the the driveway from it while this was being repaired, but you're going to be within the wetland setback. Uh, anywhere you go on this piece of property, you're going to be in a wetland setback other
than where you're at now. So, it is paramount that this be fixed before it collapses. I'm surprised that Stephen standing as long as it has been. I worked on this six years ago with Perry. Uh so here we are again. Um
the actual mechanics of it uh from my understanding all the salt will be moved out. Uh the deposited on site in a location that won't be within any setbacks, wetland setbacks particularly. Uh all the other
bays will be vacated. The vehicles will be outside until the uh building is fixed. uh and then back in there are a number of couple of ways that uh I know they're being discussed as far as the repairs themselves which I won't get into the technical aspect because I I I
don't we have that discussion here but uh the long and the short of it is this needs to get done and it needs to get done very soon. >> Okay. So, we had some discussions about not actually after Perry walked out um
if there were any other alternatives to just putting it exactly where it is and just reinforcing it. Um from your from an engineering standpoint, do you think that there's anywhere at our DPW or a better approach that we should be taking um in order to increase the livelihood
of the salt bin? because I'm understanding that it's a um >> a 10 to 15 10 maybe a 10 to 15 year fix but not a 40-year fix. >> Right. No. Yeah. Obviously, we want to get this fixed as soon as possible um to
remain compliant with NJDP and MS4 permitting. Obviously, we got to keep it away from the rainwater and, you know, all natural elements to keep it avoid it from washing away into our storm sewer systems and groundwater seeping in as well. Um, as far as placement and
location of it, if any area nearby is a wetland, it's g like NJP is not going to let that happen or not going to be happy with it. There's ways around it. You have to do wetland buffering. It's a longer process. You have to get the permits for that as well. But, um, yeah,
we'll look into options as well. And I was willing to, you know, work with the burrow to assist in any way possible to look into the possible options for you guys. But but you think your opinion would be that where it is is probably the best spot? >> I believe so. >> Okay. Um does anyone have any other comment or should we we have the um
approval of the architect on our consent agenda? Um >> I think the only thing we were considering was instead of repairing what's there, what is the actual cost to knock down the five bay structure and
build new? Like if it's going to cost sake four, five, $800,000 to repair and then building brand new would be I don't know. Doesn't it make more sense to build a entirely new structure instead of putting a bandaid on something that
salt is corrosive? So like we really need to have something that is going to be able to give us longevity instead of putting a band-aid on it to get another 10 or 15 years out of it. >> So who was against the band-aid effect? because we really have to either either pull the trigle trigger on fixing it
because the winter's coming fast and he's going to fill it up with a whole lot of salt or we need to immediately um go out and get prices on a completely new and I have a feeling um could you take a guesstimate on what it would cost
to build to to >> it's raise and then >> it wouldn't be able it's not it wouldn't be able to solicit already over the threshold. would definitely be um like bid. It'd have to go through public bid for this. Um I could look into pricing off the top of my head. I can't
remember. I know we have pricing for other towns we've done salt sheds in. So I can look into that and get it back. >> So this is five bays where there's also um you've been down there. I mean I don't want to make you guess, but I think it would be at least triple the price, right? >> Yeah.
>> Maybe even quadruple. >> So where are we going? Are we gonna wait again or do we want to pull the trigger and fix it? >> What was the estimate on repairs? >> Do you remember cat? >> I don't remember seeing anything 400. >> Yeah.
>> 400. >> And it's money that we have had set aside for years. >> Years. >> Like years like 11 12 years. >> We don't have all of it. >> We have I think some of it was a grant. Some of it was we bonded for. Correct.
>> And we need a little bit more to go into capital for next year. Correct. >> Correct. >> Yeah. >> I guess I just have a question. I think you mentioned um the salt has to be removed from the shed regardless while while they're repairing it. >> So where is the salt going if if everywhere around it is
>> ideally you would go out to bid if this was approved. You have the architect draw the plans now. Go out to bid. So, you're going to award the contract in February. Hopefully, well, if all the weather prognosticators are correct, we're
supposed to have a mild winter. Wet but mild. So, instead of replacing all the salt that's being used, area would only start replacing maybe 50% at a time. So, by the time the work would be done in March, April, that bin should be fairly
empty. So, you only have to relocate a small portion rather than the entire quantity of it. >> Okay? >> Uh you're not going to do it now. As Kat said, it's got to go out to bid. We're not even close to it. Uh and you don't have enough money. So, you're forced to do it next year.
>> All right. But timeline wise, we're we're in good shape for next year. Don't even think about this winter. We're in great shape for next. >> You're past this. >> Yeah, we're past long past. >> Okay. But if we don't start building it when he wants to start getting salt next year, then we're not going to have anywhere to put the salt.
>> That's what I meant when I said this winter's coming. We got to >> start thinking about it because the projects like this take over a year. So, >> all right. So, what is the consensus? You want to get prices on a complete
brand new five compartment um garage which also includes the salt bin which I think is going to be very hefty or do you want to just fix the um the roofing and what everything that um
he explained reinforcing everything and then creating a very um strong salt bin while enforcing the other four garages. >> How long? >> I think he said 10 to 15 years easily.
>> But but we also I will say have I've been talking about the salt bin since I was first sworn in in like 2017 or 18 whenever I joined the council and it's still standing. So I think it's at the point where it's really gonna
>> We did a repair job on >> small. >> When I was here six years ago, one wall was bowing. Now second wall. >> Yeah, they did the one. >> Yeah, it's Boeing. So you're to say you're living on borrow time.
>> What's the wetlands buffer down there? >> Um I'd have to pull up the map for it >> off the top of your head. I'm not going to hold you to it. I think it's more than 50 feet, isn't it? >> I thought it was 50 feet, but no. No. What I'm thinking is even if you were to
try to replace that building, you may be in the buffer already and you just may get by with repairing it. And if you try >> because you're not Yeah. You're not expanding on any existing imperous area as long as you're not expanding, >> meaning repairing versus getting a brand
new application to put it in and passing it through. >> Yeah, D is slower than slow. You'll be talking about this for two years just on the application. Yeah, if you were to like you know try to build anywhere else
also like just permitting wise it's like minimum sometimes six months turnar around depending on like these like wetland like individual permits they have to submit for. So that would just put you back even if you if you weren't to build in the same exact spot. That's another thing to consider timeline wise
what gets added. So it's probably just best to keep it in that area. So, if we wanted to rebuild in the same area, we're we're not in a good timeline to get it done. >> No, no, no. In the same area, Yeah. I was just saying like like if you were
trying to build in wetlands elsewhere, the permitting that is associated with that. No, >> I was just going back to Megan's point because it does make sense. Um, if we are going to spend this absorbent amount of money, uh, how much more will it be? And if we've already passed this winter, do we have enough time to look at other
bids and make an educated or >> to do the entire bay door >> since we've already missed this winter if I heard you correctly right? >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> So it is a future out project. So do we have time to look at bids or >> uh to get pricing for everything? Going
along with Councilwoman Celeno's comment, you based on a job that I was doing elsewhere, >> you're probably look somewhere north of a million and a quarter if you were to replace that entire building. >> I think that's a very
>> that's very conservative >> and that's bare bones. Just put up the building, no electric, no fancy stuff. Maybe it can hold doors on where the build the bills go, but other than that, you know, it'll just escalate from there. >> So, another 400 thou 400.5 four and four
four and a half thousand. And what would be the lifespan on the new structure? >> 25 to 30 depending on depending on the materials used. I mean, ideally, without getting into the full design of this, most of the soft bins that I've seen
start with jersey barriers or what they call collopial mafia blocks for a course or two. Concrete blocks, they're impervious somewhat to the salt. They're not going to rot out as quick as a metal building was metal from there on up or possibly metal and wood trust.
Regardless of what you do, you're past the window for any work this year, whether it's rehabilitation or new construction. It's now just a matter of cost >> and wetlands. So, what do you guys think? I think we already gave Perry a yes. We
were going to do it at the last meeting and then we kind of pulled it back a little bit. Do you want to put a pin in it until the next meeting and do more research? >> Yeah. I can't make an informed decision. >> Find out exactly how much it would be. Okay. So then does somebody want to table this? >> I'll table.
>> Okay. Second and then a consensus. >> Second. >> And all in favor? >> All right. So we'll table this and we'll go out. We'll get more information so we could make an opin informed decision. agenda. Is that your table?
>> I think we have to take it off of the consent agenda, too. Yeah. >> When I get there, I'm going to ask them to take that out, too. >> Just to be clear, we're going to get estimates for an entirely new structure. >> I mean, we actually said that we were going to go ahead with it when Perry was here at the last meeting, and now we're
pulling it back. That's why I want to officially table it and not just say we'll discuss it at the next meeting. >> All right. We're going to move on to um new business, which there is none, and then adoption of ordinances, of which there are none. And we're going to move
to introduction of ordinances, which is the first reading um of our payroll schedule amending chapter 65. Miss D. Simone will announce by number and title the following ordinances upon approval. This ordinance will be further considered at a public meeting to be
held on November 10th, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter. The matter can be addressed in the council chambers of Burough Hall, one municipal place, Emerson, New Jersey, and published in the record. All ordinances are posted on the burrow website and on file in the
office of the municipal clerk if anyone would like copies. Miss D. Simone, would you please read the title of the ordinance? Ordinance number 1709-25, an ordinance amending chapter 65 payroll schedule. >> May I have a motion to introduce
ordinance number 170925 on first reading? >> Second. >> Roll call, please. >> Councilwoman Rice, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Sers, >> yes. >> Councilman Ellis, >> yes. >> Council President Orenzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes.
>> Councilwoman Chelino, >> yes. >> 6. >> Okay. And the next item on the agenda is reports. Councilwoman Rice, do you have a report for us this evening? >> Um, I just have a quick one from environmental. If you have a plot at the garden, please have it cleared out by November 15th.
That's all >> and Councilwoman Sers. >> Yes. For recreation, um, wrestling registration is open. The wrestling room recently had a major faceelift, including some new mats, cleaning and
painting of the room. All thanks to fundraisers and volunteers of the wrestling program. The soccer social is on November 1st and World Cup soccer events are scheduled for Saturday, November 1st and Sunday,
November 2nd at Memorial Field. And last, um, thank you to the rec commission for hosting the fall harvest festival. The event was a huge success and we appreciate everybody who volunteered at the event. Thank you,
>> Councilman Ellis. >> Uh, no update at this time. Um, uh, Shay Tree actually moved its, uh, meeting and, um, I am going to be in contact with Dr. Nisnoff about a board event. >> Okay. Very good. Um,
council president, do you have a report for us this evening? >> I do. Um, the fire department for month August, they had a total of 17 falls. Um, carbon monoxide to assisting other fire department. In September, they had a total of 25
falls. Same thing between carbon monoxide and assisting other fire departments. Um, also wanted to thank the rec commission for a great job. on their back to all the volunteers, everyone who did assist and help them to make it a very successful event. Um,
thanks for everybody's hard work. It was a great day. And I also just want to um put prayers out for the firefighters that were injured last night in um the Hill Fire. Hope everybody's okay and that they doing well.
>> Councilman Timberman, do you have a report for us? >> I do not have a report. >> Councilwoman Chelina, do you have a report for us? I only have a report from DPW. Um, the DPW is in process of of fall tree planting for the Shade Tree Commission. So far, they have planted 10
trees. Um, if anyone is interested in having a tree planted, please email the commission at shaderee emersonj.org. The DPW has been working with the recreation commission for the fall harvest. That was a great success. Leaf bag distribution is ongoing at the DPW
garage. Anyone wishing seconds can now pick them up at the DPW garage starting Saturday the 25th from 8 a.m. to noon. Um, Sunday, Saturday, November 1st will be a second paper shredding event as well at as our first ever sty styrofoam
recycling day at the DPW is from 9 to 1 p.m. as well. >> Okay. >> Rich, do you have a report for us this evening? >> Yes, ma'am. I do. I have a couple things. I forwarded a memo to you all. Hopefully, it's in the package with the
2020 627 funding for HUD for uh community development. Uh since I'm not aware of any projects that are on the pipeline, uh I've sent it all to you so you can work on it going forward. Uh
>> and what does that cover? >> I'm sorry. >> What does it cover? >> Community development. uh funding for projects that are in low and moderate income neighborhoods or programs. >> Oh, this is the one that we really can't apply for
>> except for for our senior citizens, >> right? >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, >> all right. We'll be on that. Can you make sure that we're on that for um >> uh one thing that I have to talk about and I realize this was not in the packet. So, pardon my hand here.
The annual best practices BPI. >> The state of New Jersey several years ago developed what they call best practices inventory uh with no warning of what the best practices were going to be then or in the future. So each year
the finance officer along with the assistance of the burough clerk, the clerk and the administrator go through this list and um need to score at least 39 and a half points out of 43 and a half points or 91%
to continue our state aid for the balance of that year. Uh we're well above that. Uh we have the score does give we are well I can tell you we are well above it we'll continue to get
our state aid the requirement of it is that it needs to be announced that we have completed it and it covers areas such as budget ethics insurance opportunity zones zones and shared services. Uh we will continue to receive our state aid uh for the balance of this
year and into next year until they come up with next best practices inventory. What I handed out was a copy of the local finance notices explaining uh what it is and the timeline. Uh I'll be certifying it tonight. Um there is no
certification or action needed by the governing body. It's strictly administrative. Um and as I said the CFO has completed it. clerk certifies and the administrator then certifies after that. So, we are in good shape. It's it's
I'm going to editorialize. Um, as I said, when the state came out with this, if you're not familiar with it, uh, they came out with the best practices inventory, but they never said what the best practices that you should adhere to. Uh, they have never set out the schedule of best practices. They just
ask you the question year after year after year and hope you get it right. Uh so it's it's a bit of an exercise of utility. If you don't get the required points that there's something seriously wrong with your organization. Uh and you
better take a real hard look in the mirror as to what you are doing. But thankfully Emerson has always made the points. Every time I've worked has always made the point. So uh it's a testament to not only good leadership, good management
and here we are. So, uh, kind of redundant in what I'm saying, but you've got a good group of folks here and you've got some good practices in place. Uh, and they were in place long before the PPI ever came out. >> So, there's no vote or anything required.
>> No action. >> This is just action by the clerk, the CFO, and yourself. >> It's required that it be announced at a meeting of the governing body either prior to or immediately there after the submission. >> Okay. Nice work to the staff and to um everyone that uh pitched in on that.
>> Anything else? >> Uh yes, just to revert back to the salt bin. Uh my understanding is you want us to go out and try to get some estimates for an entirely new structure the way it sits now. >> Replace same footprint. Okay, good. All
right. I have nothing else for right now. >> Okay. Katherine, do you have a report for us? >> Yes, I do. Um, so updates on a couple things. So update for the municipal a 2024 Park Avenue phase 2 project. The work has been completed and a punch list
has been prepared. We're getting the contractor to address those minor items and um then after that we'll be looking to get the project closed out for final reimbursement from NJ DOT. >> Okay. >> Um for the CDBG grant for the senior center doors, NGlia solicited bids on
behalf of the bureau for that. However, we were unsuccessful in acquiring any bids. Nobody submitted a bid proposal for that. Um, so at the time we recommend that the bureau go out for public bid for this project. The bureau, I believe, is already in the process of requesting an extension for the grant.
Um, I believe Lauren mentioned it. >> Yeah, received it. Okay. Received an extension for the grant. Um, and Neglia will work with the clerk's office to get bid dates in order, see when everyone's available uh to get that out. >> Why do you think nobody bid on it?
>> Why do you think nobody bid on it? uh the main person that we that we anticipated bidding on it because it was actually the same contractor I think that did the uh library next door. So, we figured it's the same job. Um he had he I think it was one of the
requirements for for CDBG. There's a certain certification he didn't have. >> So, but is this a specialized thing? Yeah, >> it's CDBG. So, there's certain requirements and certain certifications that are required for you to be able to submit under that grant. So because of that maybe some were deterred.
>> Okay. But you think we'll be successful going forward? Yeah. >> The public. >> Um and then the last update is in regards to the uh 2025 capital road program. A pre-construction meeting was held for this with the contractor, the burough and neglia. Uh construction is
anticipated to begin next week, the week of October 26. Uh notices will be delivered to the residents by the contractor and we'll work with the clerk's office to get it posted uh and any notifications out to the residents as required >> with no work on Halloween and no work on
election day. I made it very clear. Yes. >> Okay. >> Correct. >> I didn't know they were still going to start on the 26th, but >> uh no, I think it's the 28th. It's just the week of the 26th. And then they're going to stop for the hot two. Correct. Okay. Very good.
Um, Triesta, do you have a report for us this evening? >> I do. I just wanted to announce I'm just I just wanted to announce that the district 6 polling location at the high school has changed from the art room to
the cafeteria for the general election. Um, this change has been approved by the board of elections. So, when voters arrive at the high school on election day, they can follow signs to door number six, and you'll be able to enter directly into the cafeteria. The polls
are open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. And please note, your sample ballot will still say art room as this change was made recently after the ballots the sample ballots were already printed, but you'll be going into the cafeteria still at the high school
>> and there'll be appropriate signage directing people around the building. So, you're going to go to the back of the building instead of the side of the building that faces um the woods and um that'll also be posted on our website and social media. Correct. All right.
So, we'll make sure that that is well publicized. I know there's a big election coming up for governor and everyone will want to cast their ballot and we'll make sure to that everybody does that. If you have any questions, please call the clerk's office. Um, early this morning there was a fire
around 3:30 a.m. Um, in Hillsdale, uh, local fire departments were called in for mutual aid to assist in putting out the fire. Um, there were some injuries as reported in the news. Um, the homeowners made it out safely. Um, and
our fire department did go and do standby for Hillsdale as um, some other departments fought the fire. And we just want to say that we want to keep the injured people in the prayers and keep all firemen in our prayers um as they do do God's work running into uh burning
buildings when everybody else is trying to get out. Um I want to congratulate and thank our Emerson Recreation Commission on another tremendous fall harvest festival. It was great to see so many people come down um in our community and next year we hope that
even more people join us. Um we did not have a lot of seniors with us. Um I anticipate next year that hopefully seniors will come down. Um it's it's not a children's event. It is a an event for everyone. We had a band. We had a
hayride. We had um food trucks. There was really a nice sense of community um for the five hours or four hours that it went on. And um I love seeing the seniors and I wish that some of them come down and join us uh next year. Uh
the free paper leaf bags are now available to the residents at the DPW garage um from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday through November 14th. There are 20 bags per household that will be given out in the first round. Um there
will be no distribution of bags on election day, November 4th, or on Veterans Day, November 11th. As a reminder to our seniors, the next senior meeting will take place on November 13th at 12 pm. Uh, save the dates for October and
November. October 22nd, flu vaccine at the senior center. October 25th is the Raga Muffin Halloween parade presented by our fire department. November 1st, free paper shredding and styrofoam recycling event at the DPW.
Uh November 11th, Veterans Day ceremony um at the senior center. November 15th uh is our rabies vaccine clinic. Uh on the 15th, did I say the 15th? November 30th is our Christmas tree lighting. Um
we are trying to plan our manora lighting and I do have a date um that we Triessa will check with everybody and then we will announce it at our next meeting for December. If I say it now, people will think it's in stone. And I just want to make sure that the governing body could attend. We've
already spoken to um the uh Benet Israel and some of our um uh leaders in the community that will be participating and they're available on the date. We just want to make sure the governing body is available um before we
set it. And then um let's see, the next mayor and council meeting is on Monday, November 10th at 7:30 p.m. Um this meeting is being held on a Monday due to election day on November 4th and
Veterans Day on November 11th. So please note the uh day change. Uh Burrow Hall is closed on November 11th in observance of Veterans Day. Emergency services are always available and I want to wish all of our residents a happy and safe
