PROCLAMATION/CERTIFICATES
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH – Councilwoman Updegrave discussed
how breast cancer has affected many people here tonight. I know several who have died
from it and several received treatment in time and survived. Unfortunately, one out of eight
women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. In 2015,
an estimated 232,670 new cases of breast cancer are expected to occur; that is one woman
every two minutes. New Jersey ranks 8th highest among all US states for breast cancer rates
and 3rd highest for death rates. In New Jersey, approximately 7,000 women are expected to
be diagnosed in 2015 and 1,300 will die from the disease. Nearly 2,200 men will be
diagnosed and approximately 400 will die from the disease.
Jackson Township is proud and honored to join with Susan G. Komen Central and South
Jersey Affiliates to fight breast cancer. The 22nd Annual Komen Central and South Jersey
Race for the Cure took place on October 4th at Six Flags Great Adventure. Seventy five
percent of the net funds raised, stays in New Jersey to fund grants that provide medically
undeserved and uninsured women with breast health education, mammography screening
and early detection. The remaining twenty five percent of funds are directed to the Komen
for the Cure Research, Evaluation and Scientific Program for ground breaking breast
cancer research, meritorious awards and education and scientific conferences around the
world.
Therefore, Michael Reina and the Governing Body proclaims the month of October 2015
as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and encourage all women in our community to become
aware and to make early detection a regular part of your lives discussing a screening
program with your physician or health care provider. Early detection is very important and
please focus on anything you can do to prevent this disease.
JACKSON LITTLE LEAGUE 12 YR. OLD ALL STARS – Mayor Michael Reina
stated to really excel in any one sport, a young person must demonstrate, in addition to a
great deal of natural ability, an outstanding spirit of dedication, enthusiasm and hard work.
A striking example of this is the achievement of the Jackson 12 year old All Star Little
League team. Manager Evan Glaser and Coaches John Brooks and Steve Slusak,
volunteered their time to lead and teach good baseball to the All-Star team so they could
proudly represent the Township of Jackson.
The 12 year old All Stars include: Joe Arcarese, Tyler Beck, Caden Brooks, Justin Burkett,
Thomas Cartnick, Jared Caruso, Matthew Feld, Ryan Lasko, Austin Parikh, Matthew
Potok, Zachary Rogacki, Sean Slusak and Jake Wendell. This was an exciting competition
season for this team as their accomplishments for the 2015 Tournament Season include
capturing the following titles: District 18 Champions, Section 3 Champions, New Jersey
State Champions, and East Regional Runners-up.
Page 3 of 46
Therefore, I, Michael Reina, Mayor of the Township of Jackson, County of Ocean, State of

manager, coaches and parents, for their athletic achievement and for their commendable
representation of Jackson Township.
HOLBROOK LITTLE LEAGUE 10 YR. OLD ALL STARS – Mayor Michael Reina
stated Nevin Mann and Jim Osmond served as Coaches of the Holbrook Little League 10

the Holbrook Little League have given of their time, patience, skills, and talents to coach
their team. They have taken to the field and step by step defeated one team after another on
their way to securing their victories for the 2015 Tournament Season by capturing the
following titles: District 18 Champions, Section 3 Champions, New Jersey State
Champions, and Mid-Atlantic Region Champions.

Abbonizio, Chris Andrews, Mike Arent, Chris Cartnick, Dean Daddio, Garrett Drew, John
Grano, Ryan Kinsman, Tai Mann, Charlie Meglio, Andrew Osmond, James Osmond, R.J.

HOLBROOK LITTLE LEAGUE GIRLS SOFTBALL - The Holbrook Little League 12
Year old Softball All Star team and their manager, coaches and parents are celebrating a
successful softball season. Jackson Township recognizes that participation in organized
athletics helps build character and teaches a wholesome sense of good sportsmanship
among our youth. The Holbrook Little League 12 Year Old Softball All Stars captured the
District 18 Championship. This is the third consecutive year they have won this
tournament. They have set the tone for future teams by winning with skill and discipline on
the field, and by having sportsmanship and respect toward fellow team members and

7:55 P.M. – 5 MINUTE RECESS
COUNCILMAN BRESSI – Thanked everyone for coming out. He stated we should
always be mindful of breast cancer awareness as it seems every family has been touched by
it. Congrats to all the recipients of the proclamations and the coaches working with the
youth to get them to do the best they possibly can.
COUNCILMAN NIXON – It’s amazing to have this group of young men and women here
today and they were champs before they took the field by all their passion. It makes us all
very proud. Thank you for coming out.
Page 4 of 46
COUNCILWOMAN UPDEGRAVE – Thanked everyone for coming out. Congrats to all
our teams. I thank Mayor Reina who recently had a Wounded Warrior event, which was a
very good event. I would like to personally thank Bobbie Rivere who was our representative
at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on October 4th.
COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT MARTIN – Thank you for coming out. He echoed
Councilwoman Updegrave comments. Thank you to Bobbie Rivere for representing our
town; she also spearheaded a wonderful Westlake event, raising thousands of dollars for
the organization. Watching the kids on ESPN was such a thrill! They all did such a great
job. Thanks to all the parents and coaches for all their time that they put in.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT CALOGERO – Great proclamations and great jobs to all the
kids. Once again, the youth of Jackson represented us well, proving that hard work and
dedication pays off. Referencing Resolution 328R-15, it’s a resolution to urge the passage
of S-1741 and A-2429 supporting the death penalty for certain crimes. It would include the
death penalty for murder if the victim was a law enforcement or correction officer and was
murdered while performing official duties or because of the official status. Also, if the
victim was less than 18 years old or if the murder occurred in a crime of terrorism.
It is this Council President’s desire to ask for the full support of Council when asked to
vote to send a message that Jackson Township urges the passage of S-1741 and A-2429. It
is extremely important that we let the brave men and women know who protect us 24 hours
per day that we support the most significant punishment possible for this heinous crime.
God bless the souls of the families as they mourn the loss of the 29 Police Officers
assassinated in the line of duty this year. I thank the Jackson Police Department for your
bravery and professionalism to serve and protect and may God watch over and bless you.

RESOLUTION 328R-15
TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF JACKSON, COUNTY OF
OCEAN, STATE OF NEW JERSEY URGING PASSAGE OF SENATE BILL 1741
AND ASSEMBLY BILL 2429 SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
DEATH PENALTY FOR CERTAIN CRIMES
Councilman Nixon added when in Washington, D.C. find the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial to look at the thousands of officer’s names killed in the line of duty.
When someone knowingly assassinates a Police Officer, they will stop at nothing to kill
anyone else in society. You can’t question the heinousness of that crime. I believe it was a
mistake that we abolished the death penalty for law enforcement officers and I hope the
legislature takes us up on our request and I vote yes. Council President Calogero stated
blue lives matter and I vote yes.
MOTION TO APPROVE BY: BRESSI
WHEREAS, there is pending legislation, specifically, Senate Bill No. 1741 and
Assembly Bill 2429, which are acts that restore the death penalty for certain crimes,
amending and supplementing various parts of the New Jersey statutory law; and
WHEREAS, these bills would include the death penalty as an available punishment
for the crime of murder, if the victim was a law enforcement or corrections officer and was
murdered while performing his official duties, or because of his or her officer status, the
victim was less than 18 years old, or the murder occurred during the commission of the
crime of terrorism; and
WHEREAS, the most heinous and callous acts should be intolerable and a jury
should have capital punishment at its disposal to punish those who have total disregard for
those who protect the public; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Township of Jackson to urge passage of S-1741
and A-2429 to reenact the death penalty as an available punishment for certain crimes,
including the murder of a law enforcement or corrections officer while performing his
official duties, or because of his or her officer status. It is important to let the brave men
and women know that we stand behind them and support the most significant punishment
possible.
1. That the New Jersey State Legislature is urged to pass pending bills S-1741 and
A-2429 to reenact the death penalty as an available punishment for certain crimes,
including the murder of a law enforcement or corrections officer, while performing his
official duties, or because of his or her officer status, the victim was less than 18 years old,

DISCUSSION AGENDA:
1. ADMINISTRATOR SCHLEGEL:
a. Best Practices Checklist – We are in the process of filling out the Governor’s Best
Practice 2015 Checklist and require assistance from Council. Council had created the
Municipal Utilities Authority and Fire Districts and the Governor is stating that
municipalities should assess the authorities they created and publicly discuss their
findings and conclusions. Does the Council meet at least once annually to discuss the
authorities that have created? Administration is asking that over the next year you
meet to discuss these authorities and answer those questions. Council President
Calogero thought it to be a good idea. Council discussed and it will be placed on the
agenda for 2016. Waiver of health benefits – many municipalities offer payment in
lieu of health benefits to encourage employees to voluntarily drop coverage provided
there is coverage from another source. They’re asking we discuss payments in lieu of
health benefits with its impact on the municipal budget and whether the said
payments are still warranted. Council President Calogero asked for an explanation of
the impact and Administrator Schlegel explained our waiver cost is $26,880 annually.
Page 46 of 46
We calculated what the health cost would be with those people who’ve taken the
payment in lieu of health coverage and the annual premium would be $281,859.40.
These are only for people eligible for health benefits. Council President Calogero
stated it speaks for itself. Councilman Bressi stated if you select in lieu of and your
spouse or significant other has a state program, you’re not eligible for the in lieu of
payment. Administrator Schlegel’s recommendation would be to continue with it.
Council discussed and supports it.
2. TOWNSHIP CLERK EDEN:
a. Reminder – free rabies clinic this Saturday, October 17, 2015 from 10:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. at our Public Works Garage (rain or shine).
b. Administrative Fee – Chapter 310 entitled “Peddling & Soliciting” – I would like
Council to consider imposing an Administrative Fee for solicitors for the No
Knock. In checking with Legal, we may charge a nominal administrative fee.
Attorney Cipriani stated there’s not a lot of guidance in the law and my
recommendation would be $35. Council President Calogero asked how many
solicitors it would have impacted for 2015 and Township Clerk Eden stated about
11. She stated the process is more involved since adopting the new ordinance
Councilman Nixon had concerns of legal action and Attorney Cipriani felt it was an
acceptable number based on other researched cases. Council discussed and agreed.
An ordinance will be prepared for the October 27th meeting.
MAYOR’S COMMENTS – Mayor Michael Reina thanked everyone for coming out and
supporting our sport leagues. Thank you to everyone who participated in pediatric cancer
awareness for the month of September, supporters of the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure
and Wounded Warriors. Have a good night and a safe trip home.
PUBLIC COMMENT, ANY TOPIC
RAY TORRES – 16 DANTE COURT – My home was built by Arcon Development who
went bankrupt. Jackson still holds the bond and the streets need to be paved; our sewers are
raised 2-3 inches above grade. Attorney Cipriani stated my office has filed on the bond and
filed a lawsuit. We’ve had discussions with the attorney for the bonding company and will
have a resolution shortly. Mr. Torres stated we have standing water and a large amount of
other issues. Attorney Cipriani stated there is a punch list. Mr. Torres suggested placing
something in front of the sewers to prevent equipment damage. Council President Calogero
asked Administrator Schlegel to advise DPW to look into short solutions and she will send
someone out there.
