ed Bank is still operating on a temporary budget for 2020 after Borough Council members opted not to adopt a spending plan for the current year during their meeting on July 22. Instead, council members voted 4-2 to pass an amendment that will will trim about $50,000 from the proposed budget. The action postponed the scheduled public hearing on the budget. The public hearing has now been scheduled for the council’s 6:30 p.m. Aug. 19 meeting. Council members Erik Yngstrom, Kate Triggiano, Hazim Yassin and Kathleen Horgan voted “yes” on a motion to amend the budget. Council members Michael Ballard and Ed Zipprich voted “no” on the motion. The council’s action means small adjustments will be made in the $23.19 million budget the council has introduced to fund the operation of the municipality in 2020. Red Bank’s residential and commercial property owners are expected to pay about $14.17 million in a local tax levy to support municipal operations and an additional $786,640 in taxes to support the Red Bank Public Library, according to the budget. The total amount to be raised in taxes is about $14.95 million. Other revenues in the 2020 budget include the receipt of $2 million in state aid and the appropriation of $2.43 million from the borough’s surplus fund (savings). (Continued on page 8)
Republicans’ objection to borrowing plan to be heard in court By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
T
he justices who sit on the New Jersey Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Aug. 5 from attorneys representing Gov. Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Republican State Committee. The legal case arises from legislation Murphy signed into law on July 16. Murphy, a Democrat, signed the New Jersey COVID-19 Emergency Bond Act which authorizes the state to borrow up to $9.9
billion to address the fiscal crisis that has arisen as a consequence of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. “The passage of this legislation is an important step in New Jersey’s recovery from the economic ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Murphy said upon signing the bill. “While this is by no means a silver bullet, the ability to responsibly borrow is essential to meeting our fiscal needs in the coming year.” The plaintiffs in the litigation are the
New Jersey Republican State Committee (also known as the NJGOP); state Sen. Declan O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth); state Assemblyman Hal Wirths (R-Morris, Sussex, Warren); and residents Lisa Natale-Contessa of Toms River and Ileana Schirmer of Hamilton Township. Murphy is the only named defendant in his official capacity as governor. The Republicans’ complaint states, among other claims, that Murphy “must be enjoined from enacting and enforcing (the
New Jersey COVID-19 Emergency Bond Act) as doing so would be a violation of the Debt Limitation Clause of the Constitution of the State of New Jersey.” O’Scanlon has called the bond act a “devastating scheme (that is) fiscally indefensible and unconstitutional. There is a legal opinion that says we cannot borrow without voter approval to fill a hole in our budget.”

MCSPCA rescues 61 dogs from ‘horrific conditions’ By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
I
ndividuals and business operators have responded by making more than $65,000 in donations and offering their services as groomers and foster dog parents after a call for help went out from the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MCSPCA). On July 20, the MCSPCA rescued 61 small dogs from a home in the Belford section of Middletown. According to the organization, the dogs were living in “horrific conditions.” By July 23, the organization was reporting that groomers had volunteered their time and skills to help clean the dogs and that many people had reached out to volunteer as foster parents for the pups. In an interview on July 24, Ross Licitra, the executive director and chief of humane law enforcement at the MCSPCA, said Marlene Sandford will face 61 counts of animal cruelty. “I will make certain this is charged criminally,” he said. Licitra said Sandford was caught in the same situation at the same location in 2009, but did not face criminal charges. He said a different administration pursued civil charges. Unlike some situations in which an individual may start out with good intentions about caring for puppies and eventually end up overwhelmed by dozens of dogs,
Licitra said, “This was a purely orchestrated situation driven by someone operating a puppy mill and having dogs for resale, but she let them go and neglected them.” Licitra said the MCSPCA was called by a person who is related to the owner of the dogs. He said staff members were on the scene within an hour of receiving the call. “We walked into a horrific scene,” he said, adding that the dogs were living by themselves. “Our staff is incredibly dedicated and shines in the face of adversity. They faced unimaginable conditions in the house, including an overwhelming smell of ammonia.”

Pictures show puppies living in deplorable conditions in a home in the Belford section of Middletown on July 20. The Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescued 61 dogs from the home.
In a Facebook post, the MCSPCA said several pregnant dogs were recovered, along with newborn puppies. “Many of these poor animals were so matted in their own urine and feces that they could barely walk in their small, excrement-filled kennels and were forced to drink out of filthy water bowls, if any water was accessible at all. “Our team spent hours inside the sweltering house, with ammonia so strong it burned their eyes, in full personal protective equipment, until every dog was safely recovered and brought back to our shelter,” the MCSPCA said in a statement. Licitra thanked the Middletown Police Department and Middletown Animal Control for providing assistance at the home. He commended the MCSPCA staff members who rescued the dogs and those who waited at the shelter in Eatontown to receive the dogs, perform triage and begin administering medical care. “I could not be any prouder of my staff. They shined once again. Today, it is amazing to have seen the transformation of these

dogs. They feel the pain (of the situation they were in) and they feel compassion and love when they know they are being cared for” at the shelter, Licitra said. He said within 24 hours of their arrival, some of the pups had started to play with toys, while others were seeking and accepting attention from the staff members who are caring for them. A video that recounts the situation has been posted on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MonmouthCountySPCA/videos/288434055927452/ The MCSPCA said the dogs are being medically and behaviorally assessed, and said many will need corrective surgery and dental procedures. As the dogs become available, they will be posted on the organization’s website for adoption. As of July 23, nearly all of the dogs had been groomed after business operators reached out and volunteered their time. Other individuals have stepped up to serve as foster parents and that need appears to have been met, according to the MCSPCA.

Rumson will provide police officers at borough’s schools By MARK ROSMAN Managing Editor
RUMSON – The Rumson Borough Council and the Rumson School District Board of Education have entered into an agreement through which the borough will provide a Class III Special Law Enforcement Officer (SLEO III) at two public schools in the community. The agreement will run from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. The borough will provide and pay the SLEO III salary and employee benefits. The school board will reimburse the borough for 100% of the costs associated with the employment and assignment of the officer.
The program will be managed by the Rumson Police Department. The officer will be an employee of the borough and will be supervised and controlled by the police department. School district administrators and municipal officials said the goals and objectives of the agreement are: • To provide for occupant safety and building security; • To work in conjunction with school district and building administration to develop a schedule for the officer to attend activities held at schools, while on duty, such as parent group meetings, athletic events and concerts;
• To act swiftly and cooperatively when responding to major disruptions and flagrant criminal offenses at school, such as disorderly conduct by trespassers, the possession and use of weapons on campus, the illegal sale and/or distribution of controlled dangerous substances, and riots; • To report serious crimes that occur on campus and to cooperate with other law enforcement officials in their investigation of crimes that occur at school; • To cooperate with other law enforcement officials in their investigation of criminal offenses that occur off campus. According to the agreement: • The officer will work about 40 hours
per week under a schedule to be mutually developed by the police chief and the superintendent of schools; • The officer is responsible for security in the assigned schools. The officer will work in cooperation with school officials and with the school district’s administrator; • The officer assignments will cover the Forrestdale School and the Deane Porter School, each school’s security needs, and each school’s event schedule; • The officer will be responsible for conducting security assessments and vulnerability studies as directed by the police chief and in consultation with the school principals.
“The revised Request for Offers to Purchase for this parcel was drafted with the Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan’s vision in mind,” FMERA Executive Director Bruce Steadman said. “However, as a result of the implications of recent market shifts, specifically in retail, we expect to be more flexible on the mix of commercial uses permitted. All bidders will be required to construct 302
residential units as a part of the project,” he said. The redevelopment of Fort Monmouth is a multi-year reinvestment to repurpose the former military installation. Prior to its closure, the fort had approximately five million square feet of building area. Most of the buildings left behind are targeted for demolition. So far, the reuse and redevelopment has
activated one million square feet of commercial space and more than 200 residential units, along with civic and entertainment uses. Twenty parcels have been sold and 16 parcels are under contract, in negotiation, or in the development pipeline. Visit www.fortmonmouthnj.com for more information.
BUSINESS BRIEFS The Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority plans to release a key parcel through its public bidding process in the upcoming weeks. The approximately 80-acre site, also known as Parcel B, is at Fort Monmouth’s Route 35 entrance in Eatontown. This gateway project is slated for a medium density, mixed use project with residential and commercial uses.

Area resident charged in vandalism of statue By MATTHEW SOCKOL Staff Writer
RED BANK – A Fair Haven man has been charged in connection with damage that was done to a statue at a Red Bank church. According to Red Bank police, the 31-year-old man from Fair Haven was charged with criminal mischief after allegedly toppling the Holy Family statue on Broad Street and causing it to break. The incident was reported to police in mid-June. Red Bank police released a notification about the incident during the week of July 20. The statue is owned by St. James Church, Broad Street. A representative of the church did not respond to a request for additional information about the statue. The man was charged with damaging the statue after he was identified by surveillance video, according to police. Damage to the statue is estimated at $6,000.

Budget (Continued from page 1)
In 2019, Red Bank’s budget totaled $22.99 million and municipal operations were supported by a tax levy of $13.45 million. Property owners paid an additional $766,853 in a library tax. The total amount raised in taxes was about $14.21 million. Other revenues in the 2019 budget included the receipt of $2 million in state aid and the appropriation of $1.48 million from the surplus fund. From 2019 to 2020, the total amount to be raised in taxes is increasing by about
$740,000. Council members debated various aspects of the budget during the meeting before determining the Finance Committee would hold a public meeting, possibly during the week of July 27, to give residents an in-depth look at the proposed spending plan. Some residents and council members who spoke during the July 22 meeting took issue with the looming increase in municipal taxes. The increase will have a different impact on property owners depending on the assessed value of their home and/ or property.

that will slice $50,000 from the budget was “the most beneficial (move) for residents. We waited on bills from the state and that put us late in the (budget) game.� Officials in most other municipalities in Monmouth County adopted their 2020 budget between April and June. Ballard, who sits on the Finance Committee, said Red Bank’s residents “have struggled mentally and financially from the effects of (the 2020 coronavirus pandemic).� He said the Finance Committee wanted “tough, necessary decisions made to reduce the tax levy. We need out-of-the-box thinking to run the borough’s operations.� During public comment, one resident described the budget situation as a “rudderless ship� and he called on municipal officials to make “hard decisions.� Another resident said the council “has lost touch with the people of Red Bank.� “Any money in the budget that results in a tax increase that does not get spent goes back into our rainy day fund and helps to build surplus to assist future budget years and provide taxpayer relief,� Borough Administrator Ziad Shehady said in response to the residents’ comments about tax increases. Municipal taxes are one item on a property owner’s tax bill, which also includes
Red Bank Borough Public Schools taxes, Red Bank Regional High School District taxes and Monmouth County taxes. An individual pays more or less in taxes depending on the assessed value of his home and/or property, and the tax rate that is set by each taxing entity. Selected appropriations from Red Bank’s 2020 budget include $5.3 million to be paid in police salaries and wages; $1.23 million to be paid in public works salaries and wages; and $254,742 to be paid in parks and recreation salaries and wages. Red Bank will pay $629,000 for sanitation, other expenses, and $590,000 for landfill, other expenses. The payment of bond principal will cost the borough $1.14 million and interest on bonds will cost $476,024. Capital lease obligations show an appropriation of $701,113 for principal and $159,159 for interest. Other appropriations include $2.35 million for employee group health insurance; $364,400 for workmen’s compensation insurance; and $269,900 for liability insurance. During 2020, Red Bank officials will pay $1.26 million to the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System of New Jersey; $432,086 to the Public Employees Retirement System; and $450,000 to the Social Security System.

DCA awards $125,000 shared services grant to Monmouth County
O
n behalf of the Board of Freeholders, Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone announced that Monmouth County has been awarded $125,000 through the New Jersey Local Efficiency Achievement Program (LEAP) Challenge Grant to expand its Community Rating System (CRS) assistance program. “The LEAP Challenge Grant will be applied to develop the first regional shared service in New Jersey between a county and its CRS towns and/or CRS-aspiring communities with new management software,” Arnone said, “I would like to thank the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their thorough evaluation of the county’s shared services and the grant awarded, which will be used to implement the Monmouth County CRS Management Software
pilot program,” he said. The county’s proposal was to provide communities of every size and capacity with the technical assistance needed to reduce time, cost and effort in managing CRS programs, which serve to improve flood mitigation and readiness, according to a press release. Although the county has made great strides in helping towns advance CRS programs, participation is voluntary and the program continues to be an administrative and financial burden for many communities, according to the press release. Participation in the CRS program requires towns to appoint a dedicated custodian of record, known as the CRS coordinator, who will organize all CRS activities among municipal departments, according to the press release.
This management software provides participating communities with the ability to upload, store, maintain and easily access all important CRS documentation and resources in one location. By removing some of the financial, technical and administrative obstacles, these selected coordinators will have more time to improve and expand municipal programs, according to the press release. In 2013, the county launched the CRS assistance program to help “level” the playing field by providing towns with previously unattainable CRS technical assistance. This county-wide shared service continues to be provided by the Monmouth County Division of Planning and Office of Emergency Management at no cost to any community wishing to participate in or ad-
vance within the CRS program, according to the press release. The cost estimate for in-kind resources is based on continued county staff involvement in overseeing the implementation and long-term sustainability of the program. Procurement and/or development of the software platform will be coordinated through the county’s Office of Shared Services, according to the press release. The county’s CRS user group coordinators, housed in the Division of Planning, will provide program assistance to municipal partners and serve as the liaisons between participating towns and the software provider. This is similar to what is done inhouse with the county’s Geographic Information Systems program, according to the press release.

Residents will feel sting of losing benefit
I
noticed my township’s website recently notified residents that the state will not be giving residents the second quarter homestead benefit to real estate taxes as originally scheduled. I understand New Jersey, like all states, is going to have many unexpected expenses needed to support efforts to combat the coronavirus. Even so, the postponement of the second quarter homestead benefit to those homeowners who depend on it can be devastating. This is especially true when many homeowners may likely be unemployed, experiencing a loss of small business income, and are worried about paying their mortgage and/or real estate taxes. The President, our Senate and our Congress understand they need to help our citizens with emergency aid and stimulus relief. I think Gov. Phil Murphy and our state representatives should reconsider their decision to postpone the homestead benefit. Hopefully the decision will not lead to further actions whereby the state could even reduce or eliminate the benefit. They need to look elsewhere, explore the abundant sources of wasteful spending and practice better fiscal responsibility. New Jersey’s real estate taxes have for too long been out of control. The Governor has been urging mortgage holders to take action to postpone monthly mortgage payments and relax
possible penalties to homeowners, but yet New Jersey has not taken the same steps with its collection of real estate taxes from those homeowners who pay their real estate taxes directly to their township. New Jersey and local towns are not offering any postponement in collecting real estate taxes, they are not offering any grace day extensions, and they are not eliminating or reducing the excessive late payment interest and penalties they charge homeowners who may not be able to pay their real estate taxes. New Jersey’s decision to postpone the homestead benefit negates the effect of emergency aid and stimulus relief for many residents. It’s unfortunate that what our federal government giveth, New Jersey taketh away. Although financial challenges are real and burdensome, we must keep them in proper perspective. We all know the unselfish sacrifices and personal risks all of our first responders and healthcare professionals take every day. We cannot adequately express how grateful we are to them. Our hearts go out to those who have been taken ill and especially to those who have lost loved ones. Their loss is so much more significant than any individual’s financial hardship. Vincent J. Signoriello Sr. Manalapan
Republicans should vote to oust Smith
F
rom time to time, a congressional election becomes more important than the representation of a single district. In 2020, Republican voters of New Jersey’s Fourth Congressional District have the opportunity to be heard nationally and contribute to the post-Trump rebuilding of the Republican party by voting for a Democrat. Chris Smith (R-NJ) is one of those Republican enablers who has allowed the president to abuse his power and the party to devolve into an unrecognizable state. Since President Trump’s election, Congressman Smith has consistently taken the party line, unable to show independence, unwilling to voice dissatisfaction, reciting the president’s talking points along with the spineless Republican herd.
July 29, 2020J
Congressman Smith expects this strategy will allow him to coast to a 21st term. In politics, nothing speaks louder than the ouster of a 40-year incumbent. A vote for Democratic candidate Stephanie Schmid sends a strong message to the Republican leadership, retires an absentee and out of touch congressman, and most importantly gives the district representation by a local, energetic and highly qualified woman. Now is an historic time for District 4 Republicans to exercise party independence; elect the best candidate and demonstrate the strength our current party leadership lacks. Ken Young Middletown

PAYMENTS INTEREST
Why have our customers chosen us over another window company? 1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen en for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl. 2. Unique Look Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.* 3. Accountability There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We manage the entire process–from building to installation to the warranty–on windows and patio doors.
