CAUCUS MEETING
DECEMBER 4, 2012
6:30 P.M.
Members Present: Present were Mayor William Henfey, President of Council Patrick Rosenello, Councilpersons Edwin Koehler, Margaret Bishop, Kellyann Tolomeo, Salvatore Zampirri, David Del Conte and James Kane. Also present were City Administrator Louis Belasco, Solicitor William Kaufmann and Engineer Ralph Petrella.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that an appointment is on the agenda for the Tax Assessor’s office. Patricia Bowman will be hired permanent part-time to begin on December 10. Resolution #1 authorizes a one-year extension of the current solid waste contract with Waste Management. If single stream recycling is adopted in 2013, Waste Management has stated that savings would be passed on to the City. This is the last one-year extension so the contract will be rebid next year.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that we will need to review tipping fees for 2012. Single stream creates a higher rate of recycling.
SOLICITOR KAUFMANN stated that the solid waste contracts have a longer bid period so the process will need to start sooner than other contracts.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that Waste Management has agreed verbally to pass on savings from single stream. Resolution #3 allows the City to participate in the County’s P-Card program. The County and Ocean City have been using the P-Cards without problem. The City would get 1% back. It will streamline the purchasing process. We will implement gradually, using the program with fixed costs, utilities, etc.
COUNCILMAN KOEHLER asked who would be using the P-Cards.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that it would begin with the CFO and Administrator and gradually move out to Department Heads.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that we will begin with baby steps and take it slow at the beginning to make sure we have the right controls and restrictions in place. By teaming up with the County we will already meet the threshold for discounts, etc. Many vendors don’t want to deal with purchase orders anymore. If the County can use this program with no problems, the City should be able to also. The Administrator and CFO have put much effort and research into this program.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that the departments can set limits on purchases, prices, etc. Ordinance #1616, which amends Construction Office inspection fees, will be introduced tonight. Current fees are tied to the collections by the third party inspectors. Now, bids have come in lower, so we need to adjust our fees to cover the costs of the office. This should be the last time we need to change our fees.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that the public will actually be paying less because the bids have come in lower. The Construction Office has one full-time employee.
ADMINISTRATOR BELASCO stated that all pools need an annual inspection and an extra inspector has been used with no interruption to normal inspections. Ordinance #1617 is a capital bond ordinance dealing with infrastructure. This is needed for spring projects as the money originally appropriated was used up for Hurricane Sandy projects.
MAYOR HENFEY stated that this ordinance is usually done in March but if not put into place now we cannot encumber money for next year’s projects. This money was already planned for 2013 but we need to approve the ordinance now.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by Bishop, that caucus be adjourned. Carried. 6:50 PM
