DISCUSSION ITEMS:

A. Street Sweeper – Department of Public Works Director Rick Roll was asked to join the discussion. Councilman Zappa spoke about the street sweeper being an expensive piece of equipment to run, that there should be more street sweeping done in the Borough, that there are rental services to have someone sweep, the sweeper the Borough owns has broken down again, the annual running cost is high and that it may be worth looking into estimates for replacement or a rental option. Director Rick Roll expressed that there is a need to find a new option, a need to find pricing, and that there are very few other local sweepers around. Mayor Lee asked if perhaps another municipality which is local may want to share the service. Discussion of logistics, department use, how other municipalities sweep roads, and current value of the sweeper ensued. INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES: NONE

Hunterdon, New Jersey (the "Borough") as a general improvement. For the improvement or

purpose described in Section 3(a), there is hereby appropriated the supplemental amount of

$110,000, such sum being in addition to the $280,000 appropriated therefor by bond ordinance

2020-028 of the Borough, finally adopted June 11, 2020 (the "Original Bond Ordinance"). No

down payment is required as the purpose authorized herein is deemed self-liquidating and the

bonds and bond anticipation notes authorized herein are deductible from the gross debt of the

Borough, as more fully explained in Section 6(e) of this bond ordinance.

Section 2. In order to finance the additional cost of the improvement, negotiable bonds

are hereby authorized to be issued in the principal amount of $110,000 pursuant to the Local Bond

Law. In anticipation of the issuance of the bonds, negotiable bond anticipation notes are hereby

authorized to be issued pursuant to and within the limitations prescribed by the Local Bond Law.

financing of which the bonds are to be issued is the replacement of water mains on River Road, as

described in the Original Bond Ordinance, including all work and materials necessary therefor and

incidental thereto.

(b) The estimated maximum amount of bonds or bond anticipation notes to be issued for

the improvement or purpose is $390,000, including the $280,000 authorized by the Original Bond

Section 4. All bond anticipation notes issued hereunder shall mature at such times as

anticipation notes from time to time at public or private sale and to deliver them to the purchasers

thereof upon receipt of payment of the purchase price plus accrued interest from their dates to the

date of delivery thereof. The chief financial officer is directed to report in writing to the governing

filed with the Division of Local Government Services.

Section 6. The following additional matters are hereby determined, declared, recited

the Local Bond Law, according to the reasonable life thereof computed from the date of the bonds

authorized by this bond ordinance, is 40 years.

prepared and filed in the office of the Clerk, and a complete executed duplicate thereof has been

filed in the office of the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department

of Community Affairs of the State of New Jersey. Such statement shows that the gross debt of the

Borough as defined in the Local Bond Law is increased by the authorization of the bonds and notes

provided in this bond ordinance by $110,000, and the obligations authorized herein will be within

bond anticipation notes in the amount authorized in Section 2 of this bond ordinance and to use

the proceeds to pay or reimburse expenditures for the costs of the purposes described in Section

3(a) of this bond ordinance. This Section 7 is a declaration of intent within the meaning and for

purposes of the Treasury Regulations.

Section 8. Any grant moneys received for the purpose described in Section 3 hereof

shall be applied either to direct payment of the cost of the improvement or to payment of the

obligations issued pursuant to this bond ordinance. The amount of obligations authorized but not

issued hereunder shall be reduced to the extent that such funds are so used.

Section 9. The chief financial officer of the Borough is hereby authorized to prepare

and to update from time to time as necessary a financial disclosure document to be distributed in

connection with the sale of obligations of the Borough and to execute such disclosure document

on behalf of the Borough. The chief financial officer is further authorized to enter into the

appropriate undertaking to provide secondary market disclosure on behalf of the Borough pursuant

to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Rule”) for the benefit of holders

time in connection with any change in law, or interpretation thereof, provided such undertaking is

and continues to be, in the opinion of a nationally recognized bond counsel, consistent with the

requirements of the Rule. In the event that the Borough fails to comply with its undertaking, the

Borough shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and the remedy shall be limited to specific

performance of the undertaking.

payment of the principal of and the interest on the obligations authorized by this bond ordinance.

Chief Brett J Bartman December 10, 2020 High Bridge Borough Police Department 99 West Main Street High Bridge, New Jersey 08829

Dear Chief Bartman:

On behalf of the New Jersey State Association of Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement

Accreditation Program, this letter confirms we are certifying that the High Bridge Borough Police

Department meets certain eligibility requirements, set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice, for

discretionary federal grants. The High Bridge Borough Police Department is qualified to receive

federal grants for three years from the date of this letter.

Pursuant to Section 2 of the Presidential Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe

Communities, dated June 16, 2020, Executive Order No. 13929 (the “Executive Order on Safe

Policing”), the U.S. Department of Justice’s discretionary grant funding is only available to state,

local, and university or college law enforcement agencies that have obtained (or are in the process

of seeking) credentials certifying that they meet certain standards on use of force. The Executive

Order on Safe Policing empowers the U.S. Attorney General to designate independent

credentialing bodies including NJSACOP LEAP to certify that a law enforcement agency meets

the conditions of eligibility for federal grants.

Following our review, we have determined that the High Bridge Borough Police

Department meets the conditions for certification. Accordingly, NJSACOP LEAP will include your

agency going forward within our database of certified law enforcement agencies. On or before

January 31st each year, we will provide the name of each certified law enforcement agency to

the U.S. Department of Justice.

If you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me either by email at

[email protected] or by phone at 732-354-6355.

Sincerely,

Harry J Delgado, Ed.S. Accreditation Program Director

Troon manages Seaview, Architects Club and Raritan Valley CC in NJ which are all well known throughout the state. Happy to discuss more at our next Golf Committee Meeting later in the month but don’t hesitate to reach out in advance A couple links below if you get bored.
