Okay, we're ready. Like to bring the July 7th, 2025 Township of Hamilton committee meeting to order. Please rise for the flag salute to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it

transmitting notice of this meeting to the press of Atlantic City, the Star Ledger and the Atlantic County Record on January the 8th, 2025. Mr. Cheek, Dr. Nelson here. Deputy Mayor Patali here. Dr. Witherspoon
here. Mayor Shanker, we have a moment of silence for private reflection. Okay. Guest presentations. Landing County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund renewal presentation.
Good evening. Thank you um for allowing some time on your agenda for us today. I just want to come out and talk to you a little about what's going on with the gym. Um so you have a presentation in front of you if you would like to follow along. Um currently we're facing an insurance crisis worldwide. Um not only
insurance companies are impacted by it as well, but the GIF as well. I'm sure many of you have noticed that your homeowners and personal auto insurance have been going up recently. And part of that is because of the crisis that the insurance market is currently facing. We're seeing um reinsurance costs up to
33% of our budget at the GIF layer. It's impacting not only property but liability, cyber, and workers compensation. What this means is that we have a limited market. So which causes rates to increase um in particular the property market it's being impacted by
271 billion dollar events that happened in 2024 and this number seems to be trending about the same the last couple years. So we're seeing more impacts of global warming. We're also seeing um cost of labor and material increasing as
well when we go to rebuild some of our property. The Atlantic GIF is unique because we um have the capacity to provide insurance for our coastal members. Um this is unique because not every GIF in the state is able to provide insurance for those towns that are located in the
barrier island. While you're not in the barrier island, it's important for you to know that we do have risk management programs for these members so that it does not negatively impact you at all. Some of the other challenges that we're currently facing aside from the property market is uh pension legislative and um
statutory changes which includes the pension offset and workers compensation reopeners. We're finding that attorneys are um encouraging their clients to reach out for additional um medical attention whether it's warranted or not when they hit the
two-year mark. So what we're seeing is that there's claimants are having multiple reopeners. We see up to four or five reopeners for one particular claimment. And this impacts you because the employee may no longer be working for you and you're still responsible for
that workers compensation claim. So the Mel, which the Atlantic GIF is part of, has a lobbyist that works with legislators to try to amend some of the language that comes out and some of the legislations that is currently in play. So we work with both the house and the senate representatives to try to amend
the language and bills so that it's more favorable for our members and it u reduces the impact negative impact to our members. We're also seeing increase in medical cost inflations um in the past three years is gone risen about 7%. Um things that we're doing to help with
that is transitional duties. So when you have an employee that's injured and the doctor says they can return to work but they can only lift five pounds. So, you can put them in a different department and have them um work on something else that helps bring them back. It helps
with their morale, you know, and it it reduces the cost of the claim because they're back to work early. So, we're we have uh programs to help mitigate some of the cost. Another thing that we're looking at is storm waters, which I'll get into later in the presentation. There's a lot going
on with that right now. I'm sure many of you are aware of um Amos versus Hadenfield case that's currently in play. Um, we hear a lot that the GIF requires too much training. It's not really the GIF. Um, it's federal, state, and PIOSHA
directives and mandates that are requesting that you provide your employees with multiple training. We're just providing the resources so you can provide those training opportunities to your employees at a reduced cost. It's included into your membership. If you had to go get this training outside of
the GIF, you would have additional costs associated with it. And because we work with the MEL, we have over 500 member municipalities in the organization, which makes buying um coverage and training services a lot cheaper versus,
you know, you having to individually go out and get the services. And the reason why training is important is because we want to help mitigate some of the losses, right? We can't we can't stop every claim, but we can help mitigate claims. So, we provide training
to our managers and supervisors, your police command staff, um elected officials. When you attend elected officials training, we you get a reduction in your premium assessments u with the GIF. So, those are things we have financial incentives built in to help you get the training, but also
reduce your liability and exposures. Um, on the safety side, we have a safety director that comes out and does in-person loss control visits. They'll come out, inspect your uh playgrounds, your public works building, your public works yard, and things like that. They also provide um safety bulletins and messages. When there's a recall or
something that's going on that's impact your public works, your police, your EMS, your fire, they'll send out a bulletin. For example, the POSA uh law that's being looked at about heat, you know, having employees out and working in the heat. So they recently released a
bulletin on that as well. We also offer um we have a platform which can provide training to your employee whether they prefer online training um inerson training as well as streaming. You know some people may like the streaming better than the inperson or the live
and our um MSI attendance has actually increased by 10% in the last year. Why all this training matters is because it helps prevent injuries to your employees. And this chart that you see in front of you actually is a good representation of it. As our employees are trained, you'll see the number
increased to over 80,000 employees that were trained in 2024. That caught that brought down the number of days your employees are out of work to 1.47 in 2024 versus the 2.96 in 2003. We also provide model policies for your
personnel handbooks. Um, every two years these policies are updated to conform with any changes in the law. And we give you a redline version so you can make the changes quickly on your end and read them so that you're in compliance with any changes in the law. We also have a
EPL helpline. Um, this is live attorneys, real-time attorneys that give you advice. Um, if you have a personnel issue, pick up the phone, call the helpline, they'll give you guidance, you can avoid a claim. Um, I'll get a little bit more into the storm water and cyber in a minute. But
one of the things that's unique about the Atlantic GIF is that it is member-driven. All the members participate in subcommittee level meetings and they make the decisions. They make the policies and then it is brought to the board for approval. It is completely
member-driven. Not all GIFs are the same. A me there are many GIFs in the state where members have no involvement. They have no idea where the taxpayer dollars are going. Um there's a lot of transparency in our GIF and we also involved all the members. The members
make the decisions in our GIFs. So, as a being a member of the Atlantic GIF, you're also a member of the EGIF. Um, that gives you third-party liability coverage for environmental risk. It gives you on-site cleanup costs. Um, you
also get public officials pollution liability and storage tank system policies like coverage for that. So, if you weren't part of the Atlantic GIF, this is the coverage you would have to place outside of in the insurance market, which can have significant costs
associated with it. Um, in recognition of the Amos versus Hadenfield case where the uh jury awarded the four four to five homeowners $21.5 million due to damage to their homes from the storm waters. um that is currently under
appeal, but in recognition of that, we've seen about 55 other claims in the MEL system for the same thing. And so what we the MEL did was they contracted with um attorneys and engineer farm to provide up to three hours of um free
service to our members. So they can get guidance on storm water, your ordinance and things like that and the engineering firm as well. So you have a total of six hours that's available to you between the two firms. cyber. I'm sure many of you seen more and more cyber attacks, especially with
the current um climate. We're seeing it happen more and more. Um one of the unique things about the Atlantic GIF is that they um combined with the Burlington County GIF and the Trio County GIF, which is the Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland counties, combined the three GIFs went out and did
an Rfree process for internal and external penetration testing. This service provides finds loopholes. So it's um simulated attacks to your network by and to see if there's any loopholes where a bad actor can access your network either internally or
externally. This is unique because we're the three GIFs that in the state that provide the service. This is all included with your membership. Um you also have access to a technology service director. um he is available to help you get in compliance with any of the cyber um
initiatives that are taken under undertaken by the GIF. Um in order to manage some of the workers comp compensation claims um transitional duty days that were used by the landing GIF members is about 83% and
that saved the GIF um just under a million dollars by bringing back employees um back to work once they were released by the doctor. We also have um a specialized medical provider um network that we use and we saw a savings
of 70% as well. Um some of the things that we do to manage some of the liability claims is that we have a specialized defense panel which are local attorneys. Um they're familiar with the local court venues. They defend public entities and they
know how to use title 59 defenses. Um, we also have the Tula program which provides which allows your residents to use municipally owned property and provides insurance for them and you at a very um inexpensive rate. We have certificate of insurance guidelines and
model indemnification policies that are available to you. So, when you're engaging in contracts with third parties, you can use these um documents to help make sure the township is protected. We provide you limits of insurance that you should be using in your contracts and your agreements so
that the township is protected at all times. Um we understand that sometimes you feel the need to explore alternative options outside of the Atlantic GIF and which is perfectly fine. Um I think it's important that you look at their financials. It's important to know that
if they are using if they're if they have supplemental um assessments, there are lots of GIFs in the state that are not financially stable. You want to make sure that if they're discounting reserve at what at what percentage, you want to know what the recoverables are. Um just
like the municipal budget, a GIF budget can only have recoverables for one year. So, if you're seeing that the um a GIF is has the same figures year over year, that's something you want to look at. Um you also want to look at what is the cost of administrating that GIF.
Sometimes administrative fees are high and I will tell you our GIF operates um just about 2%. Um you also want to look at how much money is coming back to the members, you know. Um and why that's important is if you turn to the next page, um it's a
breakdown of ARIFA. Um, you'll see that we have over $13 million in surplus. We have over $ 48 million in cash. We've returned $55.7 million back to our members. And last year alone, we've returned $2 million. Um, Hamilton
Township has received $2.3 million since you became part of the dividend stream. So, what can you do to control the cost? um support your employees in engaging in uh GIF programs because um the GIF programs help reduce risk and save
taxpayer dollars. There's um risk associated with cheaper insurance. Um I know it's available, but you should also look, like I said, the financial financial stability of the GIF. You should look at the coverages that being offered to make sure you're not um
putting the township at a disadvantage when it comes to coverage. Another things that we have created to keep elected officials in the loop is a quarterly newsletter. This uh newsletter is distributed to the fund commissioner and the clerk and we're ask them to um
share with you. It gives you a brief update every quarter of what's going on with the GIF so that you can keep in touch and see what's you know what we're doing where your money is being spent. And then finally at the end you'll see um a report card. It just gives you a breakdown of where you stand amongst
your peers. Um, and then finally, I hope that you will look favorably towards renewing your membership with Atlantic GIF. If there are any questions, I'll be happy to take them. Any questions? Thank you.
Thank you very much. Have a good night. Uh, addition deletions. We don't have any early public comment. Brett, we have no one signed up. Nobody signed up. Discussion. Formal action may be taken.
2024 annual audit. Brett, you want to give us a little? So, over the past couple months, our auditors are in the building going through all of our records from and I'm happy to report that there were no audit findings
that this past calendar year. Um, if you have any questions about the audit, it's pretty There's really nothing. Anybody have any questions? All right. Do I have a uh motion
to resolution s certifying? I'd like to make a motion to certify the audit 2024 annual audit. You have a second. Second. Roll call vote on this. Mr. Chief, yes.
Dr. Nelson, yes. Dr. Witherspoon, yes. Deputy Mayor Patali, yes. Oh, yes. And carried. We have discussion, presentation, bond ordinance appropriating $2 million and authoriz authorizing the issuance of
1,94,761 in bonds or notes. Brett, I'm sorry, Nick. You're stroking out. So, uh, back when we introduced our budget, we discussed, um, putting enough money aside to
allow for a $2 million capital ordinance this year. So, 5%. So, that's roughly $100,000 for $2 million capital ordinance. The ordinance going is going to include roadway and drainage improvements, improvements to municipal infrastructure and complexes,
uh recreational planning, expansion, public works equipment, and emergency services equipment. This year we're planning on paving um roads and we want to spend uh roughly $1.3 million
and road paving and drainage improvements. Uh not all of the uh projects are funded by the capital ordinance. We do have uh NJ dot grant for Babcock Road for 26,000. uh safe streets grant for Dennis Foreman
Drive sidewalks and pedestrian upgrades at 133,000. So this year we're going to use roughly 339,000 in grant funds to offset the budget. We are going to purchase and outfit three police interceptor SUVs this year.
That includes the uh car itself, upgrading with the computers, the lights and all the up cars. Uh we are going to replace the police body warn cameras this year. Uh they are at the end of their useful life. State
mandated that they be replaced. Um originally we were going to purchase half this year and half next year, but looking at um goods and services in increase. I think it town's best interest to just go ahead and buy them all this year to avoid a increase next
year. Um, improvements to municipal complexes. We're going to add a lean to to the public works poleborn over on Atlantic Avenue. And we also going to upgrade um some of our playground equipment in town. We applied for a CDBG grant for
the Cove for an ADA playground. Um, in the event that we do not get that money for some reason, we'll have money in the budget to upgrade the playground with new equipment. We're going to purchase two roadside tractors for public works. Um, they're
going to replace 2005 and 2006 track tractors that they they currently have. Uh, these tractors are used to maintain and the township writer going to purchase one public works vehicle with a snowplow attachment. It's
going to replace a vehicle that's going out of service. Timeline um going to introduce the capital budget tonight. Uh the public hearing for the budget will be July 21st. Uh if there's no amendments
after the public hearing, we will adopt July 21st and on or about August 10th, which is about 20 days after adoption is when we can start ordering. Very good questions. Questions? Yeah, I have one. Um I did talk to the
school and they are wanting to participate with Babcock as we spoke before. So they're wanting you to reach out to them, set up a time with them. Okay. So, we do have up until 2026 to award that. Okay. So, that does give us some time and it
does allow for them to adjust next year's budget. Okay. Yeah. So, they just ask that you set up some time with them if you need me to. I can help facilitate that. Okay. Sounds good. Thanks. Any other questions? Uh

Ordinance amending attachment A, article two, chapter 66, code of the township of Hamilton, providing for the maintenance of employee positions and titles. Brett, you want to give us a little uh So, we're in the process. We our chief
uh chief of police just retired. Our captain just retired. So, we're in the process of restructuring the police department. Uh Chief Berg's asked to realign his command staff, remove the captain position, and add a fourth
lieutenant position salary ordinance. That's the long and short of it. Understood. This move saves the town roughly $18,000 salaries.
Just have a question. Go ahead. Will there ever be any chance for advancement if we change the order ordinance like if someone took the captain's test and
would we have to amend this back to that? Yes. We've amended it over the years based on the circumstances of the police department. We've had a captain position, we've had a deputy chief position. There were times when we had four
lieutenants. We're down to three right now. So, based on circumstances and staffing levels, things like that. Yeah, I'm not against it. I just wanted to know for upper mobility, you know, at some point somebody might want to take a
captain's test, right? But the way once we pass this, they won't. Right now, no one's eligible to be captain and there's a need to have that fourth commander. Okay. All right. Thank you. Motion to introduce this ordinance.

So, congratulations and shows that a lot of people are rallying behind you. So, I look forward to seeing the great changes
you bring to the department and that's what I have. Mr. Cheek, I also was at the hometown celebration was a beautiful day and that was very, very nice. Then I was involved in the police interviews for promotions. And I must say, even the ones that didn't get
promoted, what a great group of candidates we had vying for every position. And it shows the depth of our police force. It's very nice. And then also, if you could just keep the victims of Texas in your mind, that's a heck of a tragedy down there with 800 young
ladies in one one place and that happens. So that's all I have. Yeah. Yeah. That's sad. Um, couple weeks ago, actually, no, I guess it was uh
last or two Saturdays ago, we finally had the uh the dedication of the memorial for Natalie Dempsey, the MISPA firefighter that lost her life on her way to the firehouse uh to a call on Christmas Day 2018,
I believe. Right. Um, it was a long time coming and uh public works did a great job. It's a it's a rain garden there in front of the old MSPA firehouse. Um, it's got a a plaque for her and uh her family was very appreciative to finally
have that happen. So, I'm really happy to see that happen. That was nice. Um, I got to Hometown Celebration pretty late um between going there and then having some other things to do that day. So, but that was the weather was nice and it
looked like it was well attended. So, that that's really nice to know. We got um coming up the dragon boat races for Gildas Club. That is uh Sunday, July 13th um at Leipe Park East.
Always a good time. Um some people take it extremely seriously. Uh but they still have a good time. And uh Atlantic County is going to be giving a um seminar, senior citizens protection

to public comment. Hi, my name is Tracy Thompson. I live 55 Middle Circle, Maze Landon. Um, I'm on a board in Victoria Point and we were trying to figure out what would be the process to get speed bumps in our neighborhood because there's a lot of
excessive speeding and they're um really concerned about the children. So, I don't know the process to particular road. I mean, they're complaining about speed and we were just trying to put speed and bumps various areas. You know, this one,
well, now it's two entries into Victoria Point, but I mean, I don't have a specific street. I know the main one of the main loops is u is my street metal circle but it can
be anywhere um once you look at it within the community just to stop some of the speeding work. Okay. So should I follow up with um the m the administrator? Yes.
Okay. And I'll have the president also. She can follow up also. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Anybody else? Motion to close. So move.
