Council President Murphy called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm and read the

The notice requirements provided for in the “Open Public Meetings Act” have
been satisfied. Notice of this meeting was properly given in a notice which was
transmitted to the Times of Trenton and the Trentonian, filed with the Clerk of the

the 2nd day of June, 2010.
ROLL CALL
DISCUSSION
President Murphy noted that, at the request of Council, these matters would be held
over for discussion at the next Agenda Meeting.
Attorney Hartsough reviewed the proposed actions. He noted that one property had
been added to the list of properties to be auctioned. Mr. Summiel questioned the
source of the items. President Murphy noted that the College of New Jersey had
agreed to consider the possibility of an on campus location for students to leave
unneeded furniture that could then be donated to charity.
CONSENT AGENDA
1. Authorization for the Chief Financial Officer to pay Township bills in the
amount of $782,653.14.
2. Approval of minutes of the meeting of May 24th, 2010 (Agenda) and May
25th, 2010 (Regular Meeting).
OLD BUSINESS
Concerned Citizens Contract With Ewing Township – Mayor Ball indicated that
he had received the material and was reviewing it with Attorney Hartsough.
Petition – 2 hr. parking - Mayor Ball responded that the Traffic Bureau was
neutral on locating 2 hour parking limitations on Louisiana Avenue and would
enforce whatever ordinance Council adopted. Mr. Summiel asked for the
number of persons who signed the petition.
NEW BUSINESS
Members of Council questioned the billing, which was 95% of the previous year’s amount,
noting that it did not seem to be prudent considering the Township’s fiscal situation.
Mayor Ball promised a rationale at the Tuesday meeting, also noting that Finance Officer
Chris Jack was developing an analysis of the impact of transitioning to a calendar budget
year.
Mr. Hartsough discussed the award of the bid, which was in the amount of $144,020.62, less
than the DOT grant of $153, 102.
Kate Tuttle (8 Locke Ct) commented that Riverview Drive was in terrible condition
and hoped that the reconstruction would be done well.
There being no further business, President Murphy called for a motion to adjourn.
Mr. Summiel so moved, seconded by Mr. Cox. The meeting was adjourned at 7:05
pm.
