RESOLUTION:
#45-10
RE: Private Meeting - Negotiations
The above resolution was offered by McCullion, seconded by Koehler, the roll being called, all voting in the affirmative, the Acting President of Council declared the resolution duly adopted.
On a motion by McCullion, seconded by Koehler, that Council now close executive session and return to open session. Carried. 6:36 PM
CITY ADMINISTRATOR TOWNSEND noted that an additional appointment has been added for a Class II Officer for this meeting. Townsend also stated that all ramps have been evaluated by Engineer Petrella and the City is trying to get quotes for three ramps. Townsend showed plans for 2nd and JFK (handicap ramp on 2nd Avenue; 24th and Boardwalk (street end/north side) and 26th and Boardwalk (street end/north side). Townsend stated that our grant money must be spent for ADA access.
MAYOR HENFEY brought up a generator program which will pay the City to be on standby if the Electric Company feels a brown out is coming. They will pay the City $7900.00 to be on a standby for any brown out that we are needed. Townsend noted in 2005 there were 2 brown outs; 2006 2 also for a few hours only and 2008 and 2009 there were no emergencies. Either way they will pay for the fuel needed to turn our generators on and other costs involved. Electrician Frank McAnaney is comfortable with this program and will personally start and switch as needed on line. If our generators are not started or not working, the City cannot incur any expenses and just will not be paid for that incident. MUA, Wildwood and other municipalities have signed up. This will help to avoid a brown out or black out. Mayor Henfey is hopeful these monies can offset the costs for a new generator for City Hall. Calls going out to the City will depend on the grid operator who will be looking at peak demands for electric. They will call us if we are in the same grid to turn on our generator. Mayor Henfey feels we have nothing to loose. Solicitor Kaufmann noted that whatever is diverted we will get credit on it also. This program ends tomorrow so we need to notify Todd Burkey on Wednesday morning. Mayor Henfey also noted the Gas Company has decided to spend approximately $1 million on New York Avenue for a high pressure main which will increase the pressure in that area. They are also looking into Delaware Avenue to Spruce and also 23rd Avenue in the 200 and 300 Blocks. Councilman McCullion stated the Coleman’s on 22nd Avenue are having trouble getting their house over 60 degrees. Engineer Petrella will notify the Gas Company on Wednesday morning that we are still getting complaints in that area.
On a motion by Koehler, seconded by Ogen, that caucus now be adjourned until the regular meeting. Carried. 7:00 PM
