APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
On a motion made by Councilmember Diehl, seconded by Councilmember Lombardi, and duly carried, the
Minutes of the Combined Meeting of May 28, 2014Regular Meeting of June 11, 2014 and Worksession
Meeting of June 23, 2014 were accepted as submitted.
2014 CALENDAR YEAR MUNICIPAL BUDGET;
Public Hearing on Amendment:
Councilmember Gomez made a presentation. He thanked all the members of the Finance Committee for
their hard work. He said their analysis revealed a shortfall in this year’s budget. He said the mission of the
Township is to collect taxes and provide services. The budget problem is a revenue loss not an expense
issue and the major issue is tax appeals. He said we must increase our revenue base by getting new business
and felt that if we cut today tomorrow will be that much harder. He commented that there is no increase to
Police and Fire in this year’s budget and once this budget is approved they will continue to work with the
Administration to see what needs to be corrected.
Councilmember Lombardi thanked the Administration and the Finance Committee for their hard work. He
said this is the first time he has been a member of the Finance Committee and he found it to be detailed and
effective. He is asking that the Council support the amendment and adopt the budget.
Council President Karabinchak declared the Public Hearing opened for 2014 Calendar Year Budget
Amendment.
Rabbi Rosenberg, 5 Fairhill Road, felt that we have a lot of lawsuits involving Police officers that are
killing us. He also felt that there are not a lot of residents here this evening to speak on the budget because
people have given up.
Bill Brunner, 215 Loring Avenue, asked if we are offering any new businesses tax waivers and felt that does
not accomplish much except maybe jobs but does not increase rateables. He asked how much is set aside in
this budget for possible contract increases.
Richard Rizzo, 17 New York Boulevard, asked where the money will come from if Police and Fire receive
an increase as he felt these are the costliest items in the budget.
Mr. Northgrave said he is asking a hypothetical question that assumes Police and Fire will receive an
increase.
Mr. Rizzo asked for an explanation of the tax appeal process. He also felt that the Council represents him
and should respect his wishes.
Council President Karabinchak explained what happened during the recession to property values.
Doreen Weisenbach, 23 Farmhaven Avenue, asked if employees contribute to their healthcare benefits. She
also felt that illegal students using our schools should be charged tuition.
Irene wall, 205 Fleet Avenue, said she comes to the podium from time to time and makes suggestions but
nothing is done. She felt we should enforce the construction and engineering fines and sign fines should be
collected. She said the biggest chunk of our tax bill goes to the schools.
Tom Goeckel, 77 Saffran Avenue, said he is sure that the Finance Committee spent many hours reviewing
the budget but the Mayor said he would run Edison like a business.
Charles Burton, 13 Hawthorn Drive, said it was a pleasure to serve on the Finance Committee as a private
citizen.
Julian Zames, 17 Stiles Road, said he would like the leaf bags taken out of the budget and also the
bookmobile.
Councilmember Gomez commented that the leaf bags are a service to residents that they are accustomed to
and that they appreciate.
Irene Wall, 205 Fleet Avenue, explained why to homebound residents the bookmobile is necessary.
08/27/2014
Richard Rizzo, 17 New York Boulevard, felt if residents appeal their taxes and receive money back then
their taxes must have been too high to begin with. He asked if this also pertains to commercial property.
Councilmember Gomez explained how the commercial appeal process works.
Doreen Weisenbach, 23 Farmhaven Avenue, felt that leaf bags are a small thing that the Township can do
for the residents and they should receive them.
Hearing no comments, on a motion made by Councilmember Lombardi, seconded by Councilmember
Gomez, and duly carried, this Public Hearing was closed.
Councilmember Shah said she is on record as being against this budget. She feels Edison is still basically a
middle-class neighborhood. People are struggling living paycheck to paycheck and the proposed increase is
simply too high. She has noticed that there may be a better way to do things and she will vote no on the
budget.
Councilmember Mascola thanked the Finance Committee for all their hard work. He said this is a hard pill
for the residents to swallow but he will support this budget with a recommendation moving forward. He said
nine out of twelve union contracts are up and right now freezes in contracts are not enough, there must be
some give backs by the unions.
Councilmember Dr. Prasad thanked the Finance Committee and the Administration for all their hard work.
He said he will support this budget but felt we are at a tipping point. He said increasing revenue has been
talked about for years and is easier said than done. This is all about contracts. It is not enough to control
raises, there must be give-backs. He felt the Administration must make sure our expenses are curtailed.
A motion was made by Councilmember Gomez, seconded by Councilmember Lombardi to adopt the 2014
Calendar Year Municipal Budget.
AYES – Councilmembers Diehl, Gomez, Lombardi, Mascola, Prasad and Council President Karabinchak.
NAYS – Councilmember Shah
COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S REMARKS:
Council President Karabinchak said this is a very important agenda and we have heard from a lot of
residents with a lot of issues. He said he is a proud Edison resident of 58 years. There has been a lot of
rhetoric saying the tax increase is 8.7%. That is not the case, the overall increase is 3.3%. He said we cannot
control the loss of revenue and we are not spending an enormous amount of money at all. He said there are
an enormous amount of tax appeal settlements on tonight’s agenda totaling $6.1. He has spoken about this
for years and said the Mayor and Council cannot do anything about this, the residents must petition Trenton
to change the laws. He said if we do nothing we will have the same problem next year. There are nine
contracts up for negotiation and he would like to see an independent review on all contracts.

ORAL PETITIONS AND REMARKS
Council President Karabinchak opened the meeting for public comment.
Rabbi Rosenberg, 5 Fairhill Road, felt the reality is that the Township will continue to be in the same
position in future years unless the employees are willing to take a pay cut. He also announced that he is not
running for Council.
Len Sendelsky, 66 Richard Road, said he is in favor of Ordinance O.1878-2014. He felt this will keep
projects in Edison and is a good way to create rateables for the Township. He felt the decision to raise taxes
is not an easy one but if it is for a good purpose such as sewer and street improvements then he is in favor of
it.
Walt Shneer, Park Way, asked if anything is going on along Woodbridge Avenue as he saw two large
construction cranes. He asked if special pick-ups have been discontinued.
Jules Zames, 17 Stiles Road, said he agreed with the speaker on Monday night regarding a much needed
crosswalk on Route 27 and Talmadge Road.
Hearing no further comments from the public Councilmember Mascola made a motion to close the public
hearing, which was seconded by Councilmember Diehl and duly carried.
Having no further business to discuss, on a motion made by Councilmember Diehl, seconded by
Councilmember Gomez, the meeting was adjourned at 10:02 p.m.
