COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY 10/11/11

The Council's meeting will be Tuesday night at 8pm instead of Monday due to the Columbus Day Holiday.I have not been able to view the Agenda support documents, but the items scheduled to be on the Agenda  have been well covered by Dan Damon and Bernice Paglia in their blogs this past week.

There are 5 Resolution that were  not discussed at the Agenda setting meeting. 3 were submitted  by Information Technology  rejecting bids for (1)Media Services,(2)Photographic Services and (3) Videographic Services. R362-11 authorizes a professional services agreement with Remington & Vernick for design and inspection services for the reconstruction  of Watchung Ave. from Hillside to Leland..

R351-11 on the agenda is to authorize the submission of an Grant Application and Execute a Grant Agreement with NJDOT for the resurfacing of  that portion of Watchung Ave. Given that we are approaching mid-October and bids will still have to be solicited I would expect that this project will not be accomplished before spring 2012 at the earliest. Once more the Mayor's lack of assuring Administrative leadership and  "Grant Writers" has worked against the interests of the people.
