PUBLIC COMMENTS
Rita Foti, spokesperson for a group of citizens from Brookfield, expressed concerns
regarding comments made at the Grand Opening of Edible Gardens, April 16th
, (former Gro-Rite
site) and assumptions made by the press and television follow up reports that if legalized in NJ,
marijuana might be grown on site. Edible Gardens is located adjacent to the Brookfield senior
development. Mrs. Foti presented a petition signed by approximately 400 residents of White
Township indicating their opposition to the concept. She had a prepared speech listing the
negative effects of marijuana usage and the possible impact on a community as a whole.
Although the concerned residents understood that it is not legal in NJ, they asked for the
township to consider an ordinance making the growth of marijuana illegal in the township.
Bryan Vande Vrede, representing Edible Gardens, spoke about the Right to Farm law and
businesses looking towards the future to stay competitive. He assured those present that as long
as it is illegal, the substance will not be grown. The residents of Brookfield requested the subject
be continued at another public meeting with the topic specifically listed on the agenda. The
committee was agreeable to having the matter on the agenda at a subsequent meeting.

12-5 Budget and Appointments
The municipal judge shall prepare or have prepared a budget for the municipal court which
shall be submitted to the governing body of the Township of Hope by November 1 of each
year. The budget shall set forth, based on income and expenses for the prior twelve-month

12-7 Contribution Requirement; Revenue Distribution
Improvements to the existing court facility that are required to render the court facility in

charges collected by the court (hereinafter “Municipal Income”) shall be forwarded

expenses of maintaining and operating the court. The court administration shall
simultaneously submit a monthly summary of all income and disbursements to each
municipality.
(b) All other received fines, assessments, court costs and other charges, shall be
distributed as required by law.
(c) To the extent that the annual expenses necessary to maintain and operate the
court are the greater or lesser than the Municipal Income received, they shall be

share of each municipality shall be a total of the fines divided by the amount of the fine
generated by that municipality.
(d) Each municipality shall pay monthly to Hope Township its estimated share of
anticipated deficit as established by the budget described in Article 2-6.5 of the Code of

OLD BUSINESS
Mayor and Committee discussed the Government Energy Aggregation program, which
was presented at last month’s meeting. The program is approved through the State of New
Jersey, Department of Community Affairs. The goal of the program is to save money on electric
bills by utilizing a third party energy provider. If approved by the committee, all residents are
included, unless they choose to opt out. Committeepersons Mackey and Herb said they did not
feel comfortable with the ‘opt out’ feature. They would prefer residents be able to ‘opt in’.
Mayor Race said he felt strongly that the program would be a benefit to all residents. He
requested the presentation be made again to allow for further questions. Mr. Herb and Mrs.
Mackey were agreeable.
NEW BUSINESS
The committee reviewed a Buckley Avenue budget from Engineer Sterbenz. He
recommended a total budget of up to $192,500 to complete all necessary phases of the project.
The township has been awarded a DOT grant of $110,000 which will offset the total cost. The
clerk will prepare an ordinance of $82,500 from the Capital Improvement Account – General
Capital Fund.
The Colby Court Association, represented by Jack Nicholais prepared a package for
committee review regarding the use of ‘jake brakes’ on County Route 519. Mr. Nicholais was
not present as he had indicated in his letter so the issue was tabled.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dana Thatcher requested he be allowed to plant asparagus near his road beautification
project on Block 18, Lot 13.03, which was leased out at the end of 2013 for three years. Mrs.
Mackey recused herself as Mackey Orchards was the winning bidder for the lease. The
committee explained to Mr. Thatcher that his request cannot be approved or even discussed by
the committee as the Mackey’s are the current lease holders. He would have to seek approval
from them. Mrs. Mackey rejoined the committee upon conclusion of this subject.
CORRESPONDENCE
A notice was received from the State of NJ SADC regarding ‘farmland preservation
account balances’. Any monies allocated to the township must have an identified project or the
funds will be re-allocated for use elsewhere. The notice encourages the township to review

outstanding projects with an SADC Regional Coordinator. The clerk was asked to send the letter
to Aaron Cela of the Land Conservancy for action.
Daniel Bloch, representing residents of Titman Road, prepared a letter and a petition
asking the county to reduce the speed limit on said road. Although Titman is a County Road, it is
located in White Township. He asked for the committee’s support. Motion made by Mrs.
Mackey, seconded by Mayor Race and carried by unanimous favorable roll call vote to prepare a
letter of support to the County Freeholders for reducing the speed limit on Titman Road. Herb –
yes, Mackey – yes, Race- yes. Motion carried.

Motion was made by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Herb and carried by unanimous
favorable roll call vote to approve the May 8, 2014 Regular Meeting Minutes and the May 8,
2014 Executive Session Meeting Minutes as presented. Herb – yes, Mackey – yes, Race – yes.
Motion carried.
OTHER MATTERS
Mr. Herb said he had been contacted by the school about taking down the large pine tree
in the front median area of the parking lot. The tree has overgrown its ability to be properly
managed, especially during the holidays for tree lighting ceremonies. He discussed the

possibility of the DPW taking it down. The Road Supervisor agreed this could be handled by the
road crew with the addition of a bucket truck. Mr. Bell said he could get prices for this. The
committee agreed.
On motion by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Herb and carried by unanimous favorable
vote, the following Resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION - EXECUTIVE SESSION
WHEREAS, Section 8 of the Open Public Meetings Act, Chapter 231, P.L. 1975, permits the
exclusion of the public from a meeting in certain circumstances; and
WHEREAS, this public body is of the opinion that such circumstances presently exist.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Committee of the Township of
White, as follows:
1. The public shall be excluded from discussion, and action upon the hereinafter
specified subject matter, June 12, 2014, 8:55pm:
Contract Negotiations
(Inter-local Agreement with Belvidere – HIKE sewer line)
2. It is anticipated at this time, the above-stated subjects will be made public at such time
when the matters discussed are no longer sensitive. Motion passed.
On motion by Mr. Herb, seconded by Mayor Race, the meeting was re-opened to the public at
9:35p.m. Motion passed. No action was taken in Executive Session.
ADJOURNMENT
Being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at
9:40pm on motion by Mr. Herb, seconded by Mayor Race and carried by unanimous favorable vote.
Respectfully Submitted,
