[5:57] thank you mayor thank you acting mayor
whatever whatever
[6:02] but whatever finance and Borough clerk
to spoke with thank you uh
[6:09] like to start off by telling you that we
have been exploring the possibility of
[6:14] an advanced refinancing of a large
portion of our outstanding debt maturing
[6:19] in 2028 we've been involved with our
bond Council on this at this stage
[6:24] we're not at the point of bringing it to
the attention of the council for their
[6:30] opinion because we're not entirely
convinced that it'll be financially
[6:34] advantageous but work continues and if
indeed we get to that point we should be
[6:39] bringing it to the council during the
summer if we do not
[6:42] that means it wasn't worthwhile
um second item is I want to remind you
[6:48] again that the filing deadline for the
electric rebate program is September 1st
[6:52] what we've discovered in the early days
of this program is that uh letters are
[6:58] not necessarily the best way to contact
people
[7:01] um getting a more Hands-On approach
seems to be the way to go to give you an
[7:06] indication of what I mean by that uh
Council and Vitale hosted a group of
[7:12] approximately 50 people who were
potentially eligible for this rebate 25
[7:18] of them signed up on the spot with the
remainder saying they would like to have
[7:23] further conversation with someone who's
expert in this area to help them in
[7:27] filling out an application so if you
know of anyone I will emphasize again
[7:32] our summer interns are involved with
this project the ones who are in our
[7:38] clerk's office and you should feel free
to contact them and have them help you
[7:44] out with these forms
[7:47] um the third item I'd like to just
mention in passing is a quick review of
[7:50] the numbers uh actual versus budget it's
obviously uh not quite mid-year but at
[7:58] the moment things are looking favorable
um rather than read out a whole host of
[8:04] numbers I just leave you with that
qualitative opinion we're running by and
[8:09] large where we were last year and it
would appear that barring any unforeseen
[8:13] and costly emergency were in excellent
shape
[8:17] strategic planning operations committee
wants everyone in Madison to help them
[8:22] come up with guidelines and proposals
for the Council on how we might modify
[8:29] the way we provide services to our
residents to that end they've asked that
[8:34] you fill out a survey the survey is
online and it can be
[8:39] it can be found on the home page of
rosenet where there'll be a link to the
[8:45] survey itself you can do it online if
you prefer hard copy we have hard copy
[8:50] just about everywhere the clerk's office
the tax collector's office the
[8:55] Construction office the utility billing
office and last but not least right over
[9:00] there so on where it says we need your
help so on the way out if you would take
[9:05] one please complete it get it back as
soon as possible we look forward to the
[9:10] results of the survey uh and then one
final note congratulations uh I'll be it
[9:16] on the sad side to our tax collector

mean Kathy is here to answer
[12:30] just a quick comment
um
[12:32] the historical society was lucky enough
to get three grants from the historic
[12:36] commission from the state of New Jersey
and in each one of their comments after
[12:43] we did receive those grants they said
that they would really really like to
[12:47] see the restoration renovation of the
Luke Miller Forge so this is really
[12:53] um in keeping with what they wanted and
um we have we've been talking to
[12:58] Historical Society Parks committee and
Museum of really trades and crafts and
[13:03] we expect a partnership to do programs
that kind of thing and so this is the
[13:09] first step and the next step will be
doing the interior and we've already
[13:13] moved ahead with a building permit and
and some plans for the building so I
[13:19] really appreciate the open space
fund for this kind of thing it's a
[13:24] perfect way to to fund some of these
things and
