****

Mayor Morieko shared a graphic and explained how an Ordinance becomes law. An Ordinance

has a first reading which introduces it to the public vote to continue discussion. At the next public

meeting the public has the opportunity to comment, once passed it then moves to the

Administrative Office of the Courts for review. The Assignment Judge decides in the law is lawful,

follow correct procedure and is in compliance. If the decision is yes it then comes back to the

Borough’s Court Administrator and sent to the IT Department for Case Management which enters

Ordinance into system and then becomes an enforceable law.

The next two original Ordinances were rejected by the Assignment Judge years ago which made

them unenforceable. At the request of the Administrative Office of the Court it was requested via

the Chief of Police and the Court Administrator who worked together with the Borough Attorney


to correct the original Ordinance. The Borough is currently under contract with General Code to

review all Ordinances.

Ordinance #1823 had a first reading in March and due to COVID there was not a final reading, so

it is beginning reintroduced.

7. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (Before speaking at the meeting, each person must

state their name and address. 3-minute limit.)

Jon Cole - Does 87% mean we are under counted by 12%?

Council Member Gilbreath responded yes.

Bruce Packer, 44 Stonefield Road - Garage Sales?

Mayor Morieko stated that the OEM is still reviewing and will release guidance when complete.

Gabe Bullaro, 500 block Doremus Ave. – If you vote to repeal the present disorderly persons

Ordinance, does Council propose to replace it with an Ordinance that is more detailed, enforceable

and comply with our Constitution?

Mayor Morieko replied that was a legal analysis performed of our E-Code. By not having section

their it removes the ability for a plea down to a Municipal Offense Borough Attorney stated that

Borough can consult with Borough’s Prosecutor Carter Corriston, Judge Clark and Court

Administrator. There are ethical standards of the Court to equitably distribute justice, not to make

money.

Jane Dalton, 96 Central Avenue - Can you please state your reasons for not opening the pool this

summer?

Council Member Dill responded stated the main reason is to ensure the safety of the employees and

patrons. There will be a document that will be posted on the Borough’s website that addresses each

concern.

Jennifer Casper, 274 Gramercy Place – Thanked everyone for the analysis and for the difficult

decision regarding the pool closure. As an owner of 2 indoor pool facilities, Ms. Casper feels that

there were discrepancies made during the work session. She stated that the guidelines set by NJ

Department of Health states that lifeguards and pool director certificates are granted a 120 day

extension, 6-foot distancing is encouraged, but there is no language to strictly enforce and pool

surface capacity of 50%. She stated it is disappointment to lose a venue for children to learn how to

swim and reminded everyone that drowning is the #1 cause of death among 1-4 year old and

encouraged everyone to be aware at all times.


Council Member Martin responded that while there are guidelines, we are the responsible party for

making decisions to make standards to keep everyone safe.

Council Member Barchetto announced that there will be no Shack Program this summer.

8. ADJOURNMENT

A motion to go back to work session was made by Council Member Gilbreath.
