PUBLIC COMMENT

Councilman Miranda moved at 8:30 p.m. to open the public comment portion of the meeting; seconded by Councilman Accardi.

Sean Kinney, 434 Sheridan Avenue

• Spoke about the damage to his home from the flood in March. • Asked who initiated the inspection by the Borough Plumbing Inspector on his home. • Spoke to the insurance company and was told any inspections on a home would come from him directly. • Would like to receive a list of what he will inspect. • Mr. Kinney said the inspector sited many causes of neglect on his part. • Will this be a witch hunt to find code violations in his home to protect a tort claim that he filed. • Just wants to know what the process is for the town to be clear with them. • Feels that if he lets the Plumbing Inspector in his home, what will he look for; if the plumbing is not up to code? • If there are other code violations, what will it cost him.

Ms. Cali said the initial inspection with the Plumbing Inspector was when he called her and she was made aware of the situation. She called Mr. Cahill, the Plumbing Inspector and the insurance company and there was a four way conversation. It was the advice that the Plumbing Inspector does an inspection of the problem in the basement, he is not looking for anything else. Ms. Cali said he was to evaluate the problem in his basement because he asked for help.

• Mr. Kinney said the Plumbing Inspector made claims about his problem when there was a video inspection done.

Mayor DeIorio said they cannot go into it too much because it is litigation. He said if it was the advice of the Plumbing Inspector that he look at the basement, he would not have knowledge of the street only the plumbing situation to see if it could or could not have contributed to the problem.

• Mr. Kinney was told that if he wanted this insurance claim to go through, then he would have to have this inspection. • It sounds as an insurance action and not advice from the insurance company to the town.

Mayor DeIorio said they are only looking to inspect the problem itself, and report back to the insurance company.

• Mr. Kinney said he felt very uncomfortable with the phone call that he received. • He said the video inspection was done, but wants to know why there was not an official report written regarding the video of the line inspection that was done. • The town should have some documentation about that inspection. • He placed an OPRA request and found there was no written report.

Mayor DeIorio said when we are in litigation; we must give the information to the insurance company and is not sure if it is OPRABLE at that point.

Ms. Cali said a written report does not exist, but maybe the video is the report.

• Mr. Kinney said the video was started after they attempted to cut the roots. • The video tape is missing the beginning portion, where they actually entered the line. • This raises a lot of questions for him. • The town knows they had previous problems from the street.

Mayor DeIorio said the tape would have been given to the attorney because it is a matter of litigation or to the insurance company who is representing the Borough. Anything that is available under the Open Public Records Act will be given to a resident. When it is a matter of a claim that is legal, then there are certain provisions for both sides to have their own documentation.

Ms. Cali said if there was a document and it was not discoverable, she would have told him that.

Mr. Johnstone said he was one of the people that recommended an evaluation of his property be done, since there is an issue as to what caused the problem. One of the things that the town wants to do is resolve the problem, but they can’t do that until they find out what it is. He cannot comment on what that person may have said, he is just indicating that the full intention was to get to the bottom of what is causing the problem. The video is far more detailed than any written report. If there is something that is not included on the film that is important to whoever was present, something can be written as to what they witnessed at that point in time. He said the video is far more accurate than anything that would be written, because it would just be a summary of what took place. Mr. Johnstone recommended that all comments and questions be referred to him; he does not want any members of Council to comment on it at all. What the town is asking for is what will be requested by the insurance company and the town is trying to resolve this as quickly as possible.

• Mr. Kinney asked if a third party could do the inspection. • He is not comfortable with the Plumbing Inspector doing the inspection.

Mayor DeIorio said that will be discussed in Closed Session.

George D’Agostino, 217 Magie Avenue

• Thanked everyone for the chance to speak on his situation.

Mr. Johnstone said he is aware of the situation and the documentation; he does not want the Mayor to be involved at all. Any discussions that take place will be done without the Mayor being present. He said Mr. D’Agostino may make his comments, but there will be no response by anyone on the dais about this particular piece of property. It is a dispute between two landlords and will be resolved in a court of law. This matter goes back over twenty years ago and no one on the dais has any knowledge of it. He has told the town not to take any position on this at this time.

• Mr. D’Agostino said the Police came to his property and Mr. Johnstone said it is being investigated. • He said it is a fine Police Department and has never had a problem with them until what happened the other day. • The people in his building need someone to defend them. • He wants to settle this in a civilized manner.

Mr. Johnstone said both parties have an attorney and they should work it out through them. If it cannot, then you have the alternative of going to court. The town is interested at this time that the walkway is free and open for people to use.

Evelio Calderon, 736 Thomson Avenue, Roselle

• Will be hosting the Fourth Prevent Child Abuse Charity Event and would like to invite everyone to attend.

Mayor DeIorio said there were questions about the event.

• Mr. Calderone said he does this all on his own. • He will distribute all the information. • There will be food, entertainment and speakers at the event. • The event will take place on Saturday, April 24th from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Casano Center. • For information please call 908-337-4521 or 908-967-1696 or [email protected]. • He thanked Karen Intile for her help.

Jacob Magiera, 612 Sheridan Avenue

• Congratulated the winners of the Easter Egg Decorating Contest. • Asked Councilman Miranda about the sign on the Romerovski building. • Spoke about the air noise over Roselle Park. • Engineer fees for Acker Park were not mentioned in the resolution. • Asked about Resolution #103-10; what kind of equipment and if that is part of the grant money. • Asked about sewer grant money that may be available. • Asked when the crosswalk pavers are going to be done. • The County is working on Spruce Street and E. Lincoln Avenue. • Spoke about legislation regarding 100 billion dollars in stimulus money for education. • Asked about the lights under the railroad bridge. • Asked who owns the bridge.

Glen Marczewski, 622 Sherman Avenue

• Is concerned about speeding on E. Lincoln Avenue. • Last week a child was hit by a car. • Sees many children riding bikes and skateboards without helmets. • The law should enforced.

Councilman Miranda said this was addressed at a Public Safety Meeting.

• Mr. Marczewski said the cars do not stop in the crosswalk.

Mayor DeIorio said speed bumps were requested on E. Lincoln Avenue, but were denied by the County.

• Mr. Marczewski said there is a lot of speeding on the 600 block of Sherman Avenue.

Andrew Casais, 166 Berwyn Street

• Asked that flags be flown at half staff in honor of Congressman Franks who passed away. • Mr. Kinney reached out for support from the Concerned Citizens. • Asked that the following resolution regarding the time limits for the public in Borough Council Meetings be considered.

WHEREAS, the Roselle Park Borough Council at its 2010 Re-organization Meeting voted unanimously and in a bipartisan fashion to limit the public participation at borough council meeting to five minutes, down from the customary practice in force for the last few years of a 15 minute maximum; and WHEREAS, one of the cornerstones of a democracy is freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas; and WHEREAS, the Concerned Citizens galvanized it founding through the discussion of very complicated concepts embodied in the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) issue related to the Romerovski property and AvalonBay’s lawsuit against the Borough and subsequent negotiations with the municipality; and WHEREAS, public discussion of this topic added immeasurably to the public’s understanding of this topic which would not have happened and certain individuals not taken their time to explain the issued to the members of the council and the public; and WHEREAS, concerned citizens, whether they are members of this organization or not, should have the right to address council and not be subjected to doing do in five minutes or less; and WHEREAS, an independent review of public participation throughout the county demonstrated that only six (6) other municipalities allow in their by-laws for five-minute time limits or less; and WHEREAS, a review of public comments since the by-laws were amended demonstrated that the five-minute time limit has been insufficient for proper discussion of an issue; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Concerned Citizens of Roselle Park call upon Mayor and Council to revise its by-laws at its next meeting to expand the time limit from five (5) to ten (10) minutes during public portions of meetings.

• This resolution was approved by general consensus. • They asked this be discussed and voted upon.

There being no on else wishing to speak, Councilman Miranda moved to close the public portion; seconded by Councilman Hokanson and adopted.

Mayor DeIorio spoke on accusations that were made against him and his family. He said he feels obligated to say something and wants to set the record straight. The Governing Body should not be involved in this issue and asked they take consideration when approached with this issue.

Councilman Hokanson said Mr. D’Agostino has contacted Councilmembers and he was told that this Council will not get involved in this issue; it is a Superior Court Judge issue. The Police Department is to enforce the crosswalk violations. It is a matter between the two tenants.
