Gould-Cabrera-Groon-Yes The
first matter for discussion was the 2012 Capital Improvements Plan. Mr.
Groon indicated that Mr. Cabrera was still waiting for cost estimates
and the 2013 Plan cannot be finalized without them. It was his
understanding that the 2012 Plan had been finalized, pending completion
of the 2012 Municipal Budget. With
regard to the Boardwalk/Bike Path Connector, the Clerk reported that the
Borough was awaiting confirmation of grand funding to be received by the
City of Wildwood for their portion of the project. The
Clerk inquired if there had been any progress with regard to the naming
of the Rambler Road Park. The Assistant Recreation Supervisor indicated
that there had been some in-house discussion, but had not received any
feedback. He added that one name that was brought up was “Sunrise
Park.” He was asked if he would continue his attempt to obtain more
suggestions. He responded that he would. The
Clerk reported that he had supplied to the governing body a suggestion
received from the County Library regarding formation of an ad hoc
committee to meet on behalf of the Borough with representatives of the
County to forge some plan moving forward for the development of the
former Masonic building. He added that he had received information from
the Commissioners, individually, that there are divided opinions on
whether or not that committee should be established or whether it should
be employees of the Borough only. He stated his opinion that the
committee was needed for interaction with the County regarding the
renovations to be made by the County. He asked the Commissioners for
their input. Mrs. Gould stated that it was her opinion that members of
the community, along with Borough employees, should be on the committee.
The Clerk interjected that the proposal was to have one member of the
governing body, a member of staff, and each of the Commissioners would
designate “a member” of their choice, with the total composition to
be five members representing the Borough. Mr. Cabrera stated that the
purpose of the Committee would be to provide suggestions to the County
as to what the facility would encompass. It was his opinion the Borough
should rely on the County’s architect and then review the plans with
input from the public. Mrs. Gould reiterated her opinion that the
County’s suggestion for the committee was a good one. She suggested
that the members of the committee visit the new libraries throughout the
county to see what can be incorporated in Wildwood Crest. Mr. Groon
concurred. Mr. Cabrera agreed to the formation of a committee. It was
decided that the Commissioners would provide to the Clerk the names of
people to be on the committee by Wednesday, January 11, 2012. The
next matter for discussion was the Rambler Road playground. The Clerk
indicated that the CFO would need direction with regard to funding. He
stated that the costs of escalated, with a $50,000 to $75,000 increase
for the equipment. He went on to state that it was his understanding
that there is insufficient monies available in the bond to provide for
the additional costs. The CFO concurred. Mr. Cabrera stated that
$125,000 seems to be a number that is close, and he proposed to the CFO
that the number for the playground should be closer to $50,000. The
Clerk reminded Mr. Cabrera that there is no funding for the additional
costs. Mr. Groon stated that the funds will have to be assigned to the
2013 Capital Plan. Mr Cabrera asked that $150,000 be set aside in the
2013 Capital Plan for the project. The Engineer reviewed the projected
costs for the various aspects of the project. Mr. Cabrera stressed that
it was his intent to make the playground ADA compliant for children and
adults with disabilities. With
regard to the GWTIDA appropriations, the Clerk indicated that he had
circulated copies to each of the Commissioners of the request from
GWTIDA administrative staff with respect to changes proposed in the TDF
categories, as well as copies of the fees that are currently in place.
He added that all three of the municipalities must sign off on the
changes. Mr. Groon stated that he and the Clerk/Administrator attended a
meeting with other representatives of Wildwood and North Wildwood, as
well as the Hotel-Motel Association and GWTIDA, at which the theme was
event support for the island. In response to Wildwood’s assertions
that they bear an unfair portion of the costs for the various events,
there was discussion about revising the TDF ordinance to increase the
revenues to cover increased costs. GWTIDA requested that a meeting be
scheduled with the municipalities to resolve the matter. The Clerk
stated that the meeting would involve representatives from the three
municipalities. Mr. Groon added that the ordinance must be moved within
the next six weeks due to billing schedules of the municipalities.
Therefore, the meeting must be scheduled as soon as possible. Mr.
Cabrera stated that the municipalities are being asked to consider an
increase in the TDF fees to which the small businesses pay to fund
additional event support for GWTIDA, i.e., police coverage, public
works, etc. He went on to state that he has a problem with another fee
increase on the small businesses of Wildwood Crest, and there may be
other ways to fund those costs. It was decided that Mr. Cabrera and the
Clerk/Administrator would be the Borough’s representatives at any
upcoming meetings regarding the matter. The
Clerk inquired if the Memorial Bench Policy had been finalized. Mr.
Cabrera responded that there were revisions to be made, and the
Commissioners were to provide their comments directly to the Assistant
Superintendent of Public Works. The Assistant Superintendent provided a
revised plan to the governing body for their review. It was decided that
the governing body would provide their comments on the revised plan to
the Clerk/Administrator no later than January 11, 2012 in order that the
matter can be discussed at the January 25, 2012 meeting. With
regard to the Crest logo, Mr. Cabrera reported that he was interviewing
companies to obtain proposals to move forward with concept designs. He
hoped to have a recommendation for the governing body by the January 25,
2012 meeting. Mrs. Gould suggested that he also speak with Crest Savings
Bank, who has very talented staff members and are willing to help
municipalities. There
being no public comments, THE CLERK READ THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION BY
