Police & Parking BOBBY TULLOCK There are various openings within the police department; Dispatcher, Parking Enforcement Officer and Police Department secretary. We have also requested a new Civil Service list of eligible candidates to fill a police officer opening. Parking: Alderman Tullock explained some ideas of adding parking spaces at the post office property and wanted to see how this board felt. Mayor DiLauri added that Congressman Frelinghuysen also has connections with the post office and can help us with this if the board is interested. Alderman Eoga made a motion for Mayor DiLauri to approach the post office with these ideas, and Alderman Wekilsky seconded motion approved. Alderman Tullock also asked the Board if they would agree to add meters to parking spaces on the 100 block of Union Street. This is the only street off of Main Street that does not have meters on the first block. Alderman Piccioni made a motion to install the meters Alderman Miniter seconded motion carried. The committee is also looking into other areas where parking may be available. One is the former Boonton Electric property on Division Street. The owners of the property may be agreeable to let the Town use this site for parking, however, a tax abatement may need to be considered. POLICE: Chief Mayhood indicated that the left-hand turn prohibition out of John Hill School is legal. Also, crossing guards will be working later in the day because of the Homework Club. The two new police recruits are out of the Academy and are now working. They ll continue their training for the next few months.

Traffic calming devices will also be set up soon. Mayor DiLauri indicated that the County plans on repaving West Main Street from Hawkins Place to Boonton Avenue. Because there are concerns from our fire department and emergency services, he asked the board if they would be interested in asking the County to postpone paving for a week in order for engineers to come here to town hall and review the plans for parking. Alderman Wekilsky made a motion to ask for a delay of one week in order for engineers to review plans, which was seconded by Alderman Eoga motion carried. Upon Alderman Wekilsky s question about traffic on Toner Road and the ramp onto Rt. 287, he was told various ideas are being explored. Public Works & Property KEITH PRICE The Town met with JCPL and discussed lighting. The Mayor and Board previously approved the installation of Cobra lights at some locations on Main Street. There is a need for two extra cobra lights to be located on Main and Mechanic and Main and Church. The cost would be an additional $516 a year. JCPL would do the free installation. He asked the Board to think about whether this should be done. Also discussed at 9

Regarding the temporary prohibition of right hand turns onto Division Street from Main, Alderman Piccioni asked if an ordinance would now be created.
