PUBLIC PORTION

Bill Eames, resident of Whippany, felt there is a lot of borrowing in the bond ordinances. He asked if this is consistent in on-going efforts to reduce the amount of borrowing each year.

Director DeFillippo said that the County has reduced the borrowing and kept it at $25 million for capital, and we continue to pay down debt each year.

Mr. Eames said that often we finance out of operating budget on a projected basis out of the regular budget rather than money borrowed for that and you have to pay interest and the bond counsel fees.

To clarify, Freeholder Lyon said that not all of this is bonded. They all don’t authorize debt. Some of the furniture is paid from the capital budget.

Mr. Eames had a second question:

“Three meetings ago we talked about Together North Jersey Regional Plan. Their time table was getting to and end. The Board sent a communication to them asking for a consideration saying that if it was not delayed, we would object to all the elements of that. His understanding is that Together North Jersey responded and said three days and they would not grant an extension.

126


Have there been received any other communication either from HUD, Together North Jersey, or the State Planning Office?”

Director of Planning and Public Works, Deena Leary, said she has had no communications. Mr. Eames appreciates the Board’s actions.

Mr. Eames said that Counsel O’Mullan is leaving soon and he congratulated him for his service.

Third item:Regarding County Solar I and Solar II issues, Mr. Eames has been following that and concerned about the amount of obligation that the County has taken on. He sat and listened to the process at the Improvement Authority meeting. His understanding is that there have been the appointments of a new Counsel and Freeholder Advisory Committee working with that. The second process was to hire new energy consultants that are advising and making recommendations. (Administrator Bonanni said that was correct.) Mr. Eames said with working towards a December 31, 2016 deadline, we have 18 months.

Concerning Resolution 39, Mr. Eames asked if the County will proceed with that project and hire that energy consultant or is there an on-going process. He is confused as to what this resolution does.

Director DeFillippo said that we will know after the vote. This resolution would hire an energy consultant.

Administrator Bonanni said “When we hired the new MCIA attorney, we did it in reverse because the Freeholder meeting was first and then the Improvement Authority meeting followed the new Board approved Counsel Jessup. Today at the Improvement Authority Meeting the recommendation was to hire an energy consultant to analyze the EPC proposals and evaluate them if deemed appropriate to take us through the construction of those sites. The resolution that the Improvement Authority adopted was contingent upon the Freeholder Board’s approval.”

Mr. Eames said “That consultant would be the one who evaluates the 13, 16 or 19 potential buildout sites with recommendations of yes or no from there. Is this what this would do?”

Administrator Bonanni said “That consultant would take the EPC quotes that Counsel Jessup referred to and go out to the sites and do exactly what you said. If each respective site appears to be profitable, then discussion and analysis would continue.”

Mr. Eames said “So that starts the process when we go forward with the build and no build questions and gets the data that you need so you can get those answers to go forward.”

Administrator Bonanni said “That would start the build and no build committee. We originally had 3 committees: the attorney, the energy and the build no build.”

Mr. Eames said that we are in the process to begin to get the decisions we need to make so we can move forward. He said he appreciates the clarification.

George Moken, Morris Township resident, said that earlier today he attended the Improvement Authority meeting and made a request for them to review their documentation retention program to make sure that all documents pertaining to the MCIA and the solar projects were retained and that any document retention program would not be put into effect for destruction of documents. He would like to be sure that all documentation pertaining to solar be retained beyond the statutory requirements. He urged the Board to inform everyone in the County to retain these records. He asked the Board if they are in favor of that.

Counsel O’Mullan said “While there was litigation going on there was a hold for the litigation. When the settlement took place in the cases when dismissed and it all disappeared, what you’re requesting is that we go beyond the law and make a point of preserving all of the records that relate to solar?”

127


Mr. Moken said that is what he is requesting that we extend the time and not destroy these records.

Counsel O’Mullan requested that Mr. Moken make this request in writing. Mr. Moken said it was imperative to make the decision now and not wait.

Director DeFillippo asked what determines the time to retain documents. Counsel O’Mullan said it varies according to the type of document. Contracts have a much longer retention than emails.

Administrator Bonanni said that a lot of that information has been OPRA’d so we have the information, and it would not be destroyed.

Counsel O’Mullan said “In particular, minutes, which have been the subject of a number of requests, those have to be maintained forever. It is a part of the permanent record. It would require a motion from the Board to change our position to your point of view.”

Freeholder Lyon made a motion not to destroy anything pertaining to the solar programs regardless to our current retention policy until a later date if the Freeholder Board wanted to change it.

Freeholder Mastrangelo seconded the motion.

Director DeFillippo asked for a roll call.

Freeholder Cabana – NO* Freeholder Cesaro - YesFreeholder Krickus - ABSENTFreeholder Lyon – YesFreeholder Mastrangelo – YesFreeholder Scapicchio – YesDirector DeFillippo – Yes * Freeholder Cabana felt this is a totally unnecessary request and that we need to follow the law.

Mr. Moken spoke about a second point he wanted to discuss. He said he knew that the Board had passed a resolution to ask the Comptroller of New Jersey to look into the solar projects.

Director DeFillippo said the Comptroller’s office did review and made the recommendations, and Administrator Bonanni in the last meeting explained that.

Administrator Bonanni said “The Comptroller’s office took the matter and did an internal review. At the conclusion of their internal process, they decided not to pursue it, and they based their decision on three specific reasons. One was that the contracts were contracts that were approved by the local governing body. The second reason was that there was a decline in the SREC market and the third reason was that there was litigation with the developer and the contractor.”

Mr. Moken asked if this was a recent decision.

Mr. Moken said if the Comptroller doesn’t feel that there should be an investigation or a review of these projects, he thinks others would agree with him that we should still have an investigation or have the Freeholders decided not to have a review.

Director DeFillippo said “A decision was made that we had the Comptroller’s office review it and give us their comments and they gave us their review and felt there was no need to go further. We have talked about there have been several attorneys – one in particular that we’ve hired 2 years ago who did a review. We’ve had reviews done and 2 other counties have had reviews done, and we’ve decided at this point that we have decided to go forward and we’re pursuing the next stage of this whether we’re going to build or not build to try to reduce the exposure to this county.”

Mr. Moken said “So you’re saying that your decision has been made that you are not going to go further with any further reviews of these projects. Did everyone vote that way?”

128


Freeholder Lyon thought the majority of the Board does not want to do that.

Mr. Moken, as a taxpayer wanted to know what the vote was. Who voted for no further review and who voted for further review?

Director DeFillippo said “Mr. Moken wants to know whether we wanted to pursue hiring somebody else to do an evaluation about this project. I’m being told by my attorney that you can make a request to get that information.”

Director DeFillippo said “There was not a vote. It was a general consensus and there was a majority who decided not go further with an investigation. We were satisfied with what the Comptroller’s office came back with that we hired an attorney. “

Freeholder Mastrangelo said “The resolution that went up that was voted on by the Board and was presented by me was for the State Comptroller to do a review of the process of the transaction and the Administrator explained that to you. It was a vote for the review to take place. Anything else, if it would be a further review, it is something that this Board would discuss and decide if they would continue. I object to you colluding about any kind of vote by this Board or consensus of this Board. On the record there wasn’t one. The only vote was on the Comptroller. We moved ahead with that and for anything further this Board could deliberate and come up with an alternative. There has been no other consensus about anything else.”

Mr. Moken asked “Are we proceeding with further investigation or not and what are your plans? We should know if you are contemplating or proceeding with any further investigation.”

Director DeFillippo said “At this point we don’t have any plans.”

Mr. Moken said “Regarding Resolution 39, I don’t know how you will vote tonight. I was in the work session. I would like to state that we need a cogent and considered opinion on this. Time is of the essence. The schedule is not our ally here. I would hate to see a decision made by the calendar. I urge the Board and MCIA to make this the highest priority. I urge the Board to move the process ahead concerning the build, no build.”

Tucker Kelly, Rockaway Township resident, spoke to the Board public records and archive management and specifically addressed some of Mr. Moken’s concerns. Mr. Kelly spoke also regarding the need to thank employees and the little people who do so much for the County without any recognition such as the election office downstairs which has a small staff. Laura Roberts runs that office. They have a Superintendent’s office upstairs supervised by Ms. Kramer. He asked the Board to take the time to thank them including the County Clerk, Ms. Grossi and her Deputy Clerk, John Wojtaszek.”

WHEREAS, The New Jersey Council on Special Transportation (NJ COST) is a not-for-profit statewide advocacy organization that for over 34 years has been dedicated to promoting, supporting and providing information and education about New Jersey’s paratransit and community transportation services; and,

WHEREAS, The County of Morris is a member of NJ COST, which includes each of the 21 County coordinated transportation systems, as well as municipalities, community-based not-for-profit providers, private agencies, New Jersey Transit and other government agencies; and,

WHEREAS, The County of Morris funding through the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Assistance Program provides critical transportation and assists Counties in providing and developing accessible transportation services for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.

WHEREAS, Today the County of Morris is facing a critical shortage in grant funding, which is derived partly from proceeds from the Casino Revenue Fund.

WHEREAS, It is imperative that additional funding be provided to the County of Morris to ensure and maintain current services and service levels.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Board of Chosen Freeholders of the County of Morris, supports additional funding in the State of New Jersey FY2016 budget in the amount of $6 million to bring county paratransit transportation funding back to 2012 levels.

Freeholder Cesaro made a motion to adopt Resolution Nos. 1 through 54. This was seconded by Freeholder Lyon. The Clerk called and recorded the following vote:

YES: Freeholders Cabana (ABSTAIN on Res.39) Cesaro, Lyon, Mastrangelo (NO on Res.39) Scapicchio (NO on Res.39) and Director DeFillippo (6) ABSENT: Freeholder Krickus (1)

Comments regarding Resolution 39: (Made by Doug Cabana)

“I was prepared to vote one way based on information I had received and now I have received other information which contradicts the information I initially received so I am somewhat at a quandary at this point knowing that I have to vote. I readily agree with Mr. Moken but I do agree with him that this needs to be moved forward. We need to begin construction on the build out and we’re up against the clock on finishing these projects so it is important so with respect to that I’m going to abstain on Resolution 39 because I really can’t make a decision either way at this point based on the information I have.”

Freeholder Mastrangelo voted NO on No. 39 because he has some concerns about it.

Director DeFillippo said the following regarding the resolutions:

“I did my due diligence. I asked a lot of questions. A lot of concerns that were expressed earlier I had already asked several questions and made my decision when I submitted my evaluation and I stand behind it so I am a “yes” to all.”
