5. Mayor’s Report
Landlord/Tenant Ordinance
On the agenda this evening for second reading and final passage is the much
discussed Landlord/Tenant ordinance. The purpose of this ordinance is to enhance
the ability of the township to regulate the growing rental community. The vast
majority of landlords in Barnegat are responsible property owners who select their
tenants wisely. This ordinance will not impact landlords who care for and take pride
2
in maintaining their property along with selecting their tenants very carefully.
Unfortunately, a small number of landlords in Barnegat are irresponsible and as a
result, this ordinance is needed to address the problems they create from their lack
of due diligence and adequate oversight.
Much debate has surrounded this ordinance, especially the part regarding whether
a landlord or the township has the ability to deny housing based on a past criminal
record. In my professional opinion, the answer is “NO” we as the township cannot
deny housing to a potential tenant based on a past criminal record. And to prove
that point, I would like to ask all of you to consider the following … If a municipality
could legally deny housing to individuals with a past criminal record, then EVERY
town in New Jersey would have a law in place preventing people with past criminal
records from renting property in their town … the reason why towns do not have that
law is because that is discrimination and that is simply against the law. Regardless
of what you think, you cannot legally deny housing based solely on a criminal past!
From a township perspective, background checks prior to the rental adds no value
to the process and would promote discriminatory housing practices which the courts
would look unfavorable upon as discrimination in any form is against the law. This
ordinance tonight represents a first step with regulating the rental community and I
am confident that this revised ordinance will achieve the desired goal of improving
the living condition of rental properties in Barnegat along with having a positive
impact on restoring the quality of life in certain neighborhoods in Barnegat.
The practice of law is dynamic and ever changing and as a result, there is no single
law that is perfect or can take into account every possible scenario or situation. In
this case, this ordinance establishes a strong foundation so that the township can
move forward with the enhanced oversight of the rental community. In the future, if
the township discovers existing federal or state law that can improve the ordinance,
changes will be made in order to strengthen the Landlord/Tenant ordinance.
Edwards School — Downtown
The township had an opportunity to meet with select members of the school board
to discuss the future of the Edwards School. Currently, the township is in the
process of exploring options for the productive future use of the school. The
Edwards School reflects an important part of Barnegat’s past and steps must be
taken to preserve this historic building. In the near future, the township will make a
presentation to the Board of Education regarding various options for the future
beneficial use of the building. The township wants to work closely with the school
board so that together we can come up with a practical solution to the Edwards
School. In my opinion, this partnership between the township and the school is vital
to the future economic viability of the downtown and I look forward to working with
the Board on this important issue.
Hiring of Replacement Police Officers
While Deputy Mayor Marty Lisella will discuss the resolutions dealing with the
replacement police hires in detail, I do want to take an opportunity to tell a brief, but
an important story about the Barnegat Police Department. On my way home from
3
Town Hall a couple of weeks ago, there on West Bay Avenue, parked on the side of
the road was a Barnegat Police officer changing a flat tire on the car of a motorist
needing assistance. To me, that simple but important gesture of helping a resident
in need is remarkable and clearly demonstrates the commitment of Barnegat Police
to our community.
That officer’s’ action of fixing a flat tire for a motorist, in the snow, had a tremendous
impact on me and frankly, made me proud of the department. We are indeed
fortunate to have caring and dedicated police officers employed by the township. It
will be my pleasure tonight to support the hiring of two (2) replacement police
officers for the Barnegat Police Department. There is NO question in my mind that
the Barnegat Police Department is a professional law enforcement agency and
deserving of these two (2) highly qualified replacement officers. Congratulations to
Barnegat Police for their outstanding work and best of luck to the two (2)
replacement officers … And to Chief Drexler, please keep up the impressive work.
6. Committee Reports
M. Lisella
Barnegat Police Department
On the agenda this evening are resolutions to hire two (2) replacement police
officers. In order to understand why this township has a pressing need to hire these
replacement officers, allow me an opportunity to briefly discuss staffing levels in the
Barnegat Police Department.
1. The maximum strength of the Barnegat Police Department was 47 sworn police
officers back in late 2006. Since 2006, I think we can all agree that Barnegat has
experienced considerable growth during the almost EIGHT years.
2. Between 2006 and 2009, Barnegat was successful with maintaining adequate
police staffing levels since departing officers were replaced.
3. Starting in 2010, as a result of budgetary constraints from a major recession and
a down turn in the real estate market, the township did not replace any officers who
left the department. The result was a drastic decrease in the number of sworn
officer and by the spring of 2013, Barnegat Police were down to 41 sworn officers.
4. The alarming decrease in the Barnegat Police ranks convinced the majority of the
Township Committee of the urgent need to replace retiring officers. Authorization
was given for Barnegat Police to commence with the recruitment process and in the
summer of 2013, over 250 candidates applied to become a Barnegat Police officer.
5. The rigorous testing process mandated by both state and national accreditation
produced a list of highly qualified candidates. This past October, the township hired
two (2) replacement officers which increased staffing to 43 sworn officers. However,
be mindful that between the police academy and Barnegat Police field training
program, these officers will not be incorporated into patrol until late 2014.
6. With a planned retirement of a detective in 2014, Barnegat Police will be reduced
to 42 sworn officers. Taking into account the amount of time necessary for an officer
to graduate the police academy and to successfully pass the Barnegat Police field
training program, the two (2) replacement officers hired this evening will not be on
the road until the first quarter of 2015!
4
While there is much history behind police staffing levels in Barnegat, the issue at
hand is rather straight forward. If you are comfortable with police staffing levels that
are comparable to at least 10 years ago when the township was smaller and had no
high school, then respond accordingly. However, considering the growth of the
community, the establishment of a high school along with drastic increases in
computer related and drug crimes, the majority of the committee felt strongly
justified in hiring these 2 individuals so that Barnegat Police can continue providing
the deserving community with award winning law enforcement work along with
maintaining an acceptable level of safety for it’s officers.
As elected leaders of this community, we have both a legal and moral obligation to
provide required resources to the township workforce so that they can perform their
jobs effectively and safely. As a former Army MP, I understand and appreciate the
dangers faced on a daily basis by our officers and I would strongly urge this
committee tonight to approve these two (2) replacement officers. You cannot
constantly preach the need to enhance policing of Barnegat but yet at every
opportunity deny the police department the very resources required by them to
efficiently and safely respond to the needs of a growing community.
Barnegat was recently recognized as one of the fifty safest communities in New
Jersey. That distinction was a result of the impressive and hard work of the
Barnegat Police Department. Clearly, Barnegat Police has demonstrated they are
capable of doing more with less. But there comes a time when resources are
necessary in order to continue with effective law enforcement work. In times of
trouble, we never hesitate to call upon Barnegat Police for assistance. Now it is time
for this committee to stand united and support the police by approving these
replacement hires this evening!
A couple of side notes regarding Barnegat Police … Outside Town Hall this evening
is a US military vehicle that Barnegat received from the federal government. This
vehicle is a high water vehicle and can be used for rescue operations along the bay
front during storms. One lesson we learned from Hurricane Sandy is that we do not
want our front line, first responder vehicles in salt water. In total, Barnegat received
four (4) Humvee types of vehicles and two (2) personnel carrier trucks. Instrumental
with securing over $200,000 in donated military equipment to Barnegat is Officer
Alex Hoffman. Officer Hoffman spent much of his own time navigating the federal
bureaucracy to obtain these vehicles to be used in emergency operations. I would
like to acknowledge the effort of Office Hoffman this evening and thank him for his
dedication to Barnegat, Great job officer Hoffman.
Finally, one (1) officer who could not be here tonight is Officer Eddie Hayes. Officer
Hayes broke his ankle responding to a first aid call during the recent snow storm.
We all wish Officer Hayes a speedy recovery.

Age Restricted Housing Project
On tonight’s agenda is a resolution that reflects the commencement of a process to
locate an AGE restricted affordable housing project in Barnegat. While many details
5
still need to be finalized, some basic information on the proposed project is as
follows:
1. The proposed site is located on the west side of route 9 between Georgetown
Boulevard and the Stafford Township line. This particular site has been on the
market for many years.
2. This will be an AGE restricted project (NO families) consisting of 70 units, which
will consist of one or two bedroom rental units.
3. The project will be financed through the state with Hurricane Sandy funding that
is available to assist with providing low or moderate income housing opportunities
for individuals adversely impacted by the storm.
4. If this project is selected by the state, then Barnegat will benefit financially as a
result of reducing school aged or family housing, increased ratables and related
enhanced tax collections and improvements to municipal recreation facilities and
programs.
5. The developers included in this project are KHOV and Kokes Brothers. The
proposal consists of centralizing the age restricted affordable housing obligation
resulting from the Fifth Avenue tract along with Lighthouse Village and locating it in
one building on route 9. This site is much more appropriate since public
transportation is readily available and commercial establishments are within walking
distance.
Again, this resolution of “need” reflects the first step in a lengthy process in which
Barnegat will compete with other communities in an attempt to secure AGE
restricted affordable housing rental units, for which there is a significant and growing
need for in Barnegat. It reflects a concept proposed by the two (2) developers and
the project would be subject to all necessary local permits and approvals.
Police Replacement Officers
Deputy Mayor Lisella did an excellent job in providing a compelling justification for
the urgent need to hire these two (2) REPLACEMENT police officers this evening.
Keeping Barnegat safe is a top priority and we must provide the required resources
so that Barnegat Police can effectively respond to the needs of the growing
community along with providing adequate safety for its officers. We are all proud of
the performance of Barnegat Police … Chief Drexler; please keep up the
outstanding work.
L. Morano
Our Police Department is probably number one in Ocean County in what they do.
My biggest concern is if we checked our budget. Any young person deserves the
position, I am very proud of them. Can we afford the police officers, motorcycles
and training? I would like all five of us to discuss this together with the Chief of
Police to be sure we can afford it. This is business, not personal; you are doing a
great job. I had an enjoyable time at the Fire Department’s Fish Fry Friday night.

E. Taylor
Just a few comments this evening; due to the fact that the Township Committee has
voted to reduce meetings to once per month, I would like to propose extending the
public portion time from five minutes to eight minutes. It seems that this Township
Committee is moving backwards, not forward, we keep spending money on the
backs of the taxpayers. Last year we had a budget which saw an increase of two
cents. I am afraid that with the winter we have had, which has resulted in a
tremendous amount of overtime, and the hiring of numerous employees within the
past six months, our budget this year will break many of our residents. Therefore, I
am asking this committee to support my motion that will put a freeze on the hiring of
all employees, until we see a preliminary budget. In order to limit any increase in
taxes for our residents. Second by Len Morano.
(Discussion of motion)
Admin: In respect to hiring full time township employees; back in late 2009 the
Township realized as a result of the economic downturn, and the decrease in
ratables throughout the Township, we were facing a financial crisis. In response the
Township did NOT hire ANY full time employees between December 2009 and April
2013. The first person hired was Administrative Assistant for the Township Clerk’s
Office. And in October 2013, we hired two police officers to supplement the force
which was reduced down to 41 sworn officers from a high of 47 in late 2006. As the
Mayor and Deputy Mayor clearly indicated, since 2006 this township has
experienced a fair amount of growth throughout the community. In addition; the
amount of technology or computer crimes and drug related incidents have
drastically increased throughout the Township. Despite the diminished ranks of the
Police, they have been very proactive in responding to the needs of the community
in attempting to stem the flow of drugs in Barnegat. Barnegat Police Department
currently has five detectives; two are assigned exclusively to narcotics and drug
situations. The detective department was larger in the late 90’s than it is today. In
addition we are promoting one of the patrol officers to detective, this officer has
been temporarily assigned for two years, and has lead the department in arrests,
and been instrumental along with his partner in reducing and addressing the crime
issue that is not only plaguing Barnegat, but the County and State in general.
However, this individual will be promoted at no cost to the Township; this
administration several years ago negotiated out of the police contract any pay
differential for detective. As the mayor any deputy mayor has stated; the police
department has done more with less resources. However, you reach a point of
critical mass, when the safety of the officers, and their ability to respond is
jeopardized as a result of reduced resources, the question is can we afford? But
can we afford not to hire more police officers?
E. Taylor: All I am asking is that we look at the preliminary budget, before we make
any hiring decisions.
M. Lisella: if we do not have safety in the town people will leave quickly.
S. McCabe: I know that two of our detectives were very busy last week; we lost
someone to drugs, which resulted in an arrest in Atlantic City. We are facing a tight
timeline with the academy also. These officers won’t be active until 2015, we are
not adding to a force that is full, we are replacing retirees. These officers will be
coming in at a lower pay scale.

Roll call: E. Taylor: Yes A. Bille: No L. Morano: Yes
M. Lisella: No S. McCabe: No
7. Administrator’s Report
A report on the Ash-Britt contract: In respect to hurricane Sandy; the Township of
Barnegat entered into a shred service agreement with Ocean County for debris
removal. There was much press about the improper use of Ash-Britt, with respect
to procurement regulations. Much debate surrounded whether the State of New
Jersey followed proper procedures with regard to emergency purchasing, with
respect of securing the services of Ash-Britt. The Office of Inspector General
reviewed all records pertaining to the use of Ash-Britt on the state, county and local
level. It has determined that the state of New Jersey has complied with all Federal
and State procurement regulations surrounding emergency contracts for the use of
Ash-Britt to remove debris as a result of hurricane Sandy. In addition it stated that
any local municipality’s use of the contract during the emergency period November
4, 2012 through January 23, 2013 would meet state and federal guidelines and
standards. Our records indicate Ash-Britt was last in Barnegat assisting with debris
removal on January 3, 2013. In essence the State of New Jersey, County of
Ocean and the Township of Barnegat utilized Ash-Britt in accordance with
emergency purchase regulations as established by both the Federal Government
and the State of New Jersey. Thank you to the members of the governing
body that supported contracting and entering into a shared services agreement with
Ash-Britt. As indicated at the last Township meeting, the cost of winter operations is
mounting; salting and plowing will have an adverse impact on our budget when
winter weather conditions are present. The state has recognized this impact on
municipalities, and is allowing a one year exemptions from the cap law for any and
all costs associated with winter operations above and beyond the normal. As a
result we will take advantage of that exemption, as our snow removal costs are
approaching $300,000. Our water and sewer personnel assisted with a significant
water main break near the Brighton and Pinewood Estates Mobile Home parks last
week. Reviewed items on this agenda with respect to explaining in detail
resolutions and ordinances.
Motion to open Public Comment: A. Bille Second: L. Morano
Anita Dundera – 5 Montauk Place: I have worked with many police departments
around the state. We have started an amazing neighborhood watch in our
community, with help and many thanks to our police department.
Joe Marty – 1 Sable Court: I co-chair the neighborhood watch, and I would like to
thank the police department tonight. Office Steins has been involved with any
meetings, and has supported us very well. The person that had wreaked havoc in
our neighborhood has been apprehended, and we are very grateful for that.
Barnegat is growing, as will continue to grow, crime and criminals never take a
holiday, and the police department needs to grow with that pace. This is based on
facts, not emotion.

Jake Taylor – 106 Newark Road: I support hiring these police officers; we are
replacing retired personnel, and may keep overtime down in the future. Questioned
resolution on the age-restricted units. Admin. Explained PILOT agreement
mandated by the State of New Jersey. This formula will allow our tax collection to
increase.
Tom Pappas – 149 Vivas Drive: Thank you to the police department personnel. Are
we able to use this list over a period of time, or do we need to have another testing?
Chief: it is a three-stage testing process; the final list is good for two years, with an
option to extend to three. TP: it seems we are spending more to save a little on the
Turf Field. Admin: an initial fee was instituted, and the scope of work was increased
causing the increase in costs, other facilities have paid $1.2 million for what we are
achieving.
Jean Gurkas – 200 Rahway Road: I would like to discuss the Edwards School
property; I know there are older schools still in use. Mayor: The property is owned
by the Board of Education, and I advise you to question them on insurances. JG:
parking spaces at Town Hall are decreasing, with trailers to house offices; it is time
to look into a new location for Town Hall.
Frank Pecci – 11 Hemlock Drive: in reference to the age-restricted rental units;
there needs to be some type of inspections performed between residents to keep
this property maintained properly.
Ed Brennan – 10 Windy Reef Court: What is the status of the appointments to the
Senior Advisory Group? Mayor: provide the information to the Clerk for committee
approval.
Marianne Clemente – 565 E. Bay Avenue: I am concerned about the committee not
working together. Doesn’t it make sense to talk about the agenda to answer any
questions, maybe re-institute a workshop meeting?
