[quote="Guest"]Last night, the mayor reported... The decisions to preserve the land, convert it to recreational space and build a ballfield were made over several years, supported by members of both parties, on the recommendations of the recreation committee and the school, with a series of open meetings for community input. The ballfield construction has cost the Township $25,000, so far. There will be additional construction costs to complete the project- dugouts, scoreboard, watering system, etc. The Township will look for grant money to cover the costs of completion. Problems with the contractor have delayed completion of the grass field. The current contractor, or bond company, is responsible for ensuring completion of the contract. The costs of preserving the land and converting it to recreational space were roughly $500,000 higher than expected ($1.2 MM total) due to unanticipated environmental remediation costs. These costs would have been incurred with or without the ballfield. No one at the meeting refuted the Mayor's report. The public asked the TC for improved oversight of the project, ongoing communication and to keep a lid on future costs.[/quote]

Unfortunately, our freeholders feel it's their money and way of giving back to the towns that support them. What would be great is if the county freeholders, state officals and federal government said, we're reducing taxes and getting rid of grants all around. <br /> <br />Since that does not happen it's an issue of having to put in or have our dollars go elsewhere in the county. Now, I don't support willy nilly projects for the sake of doing them like the ballfield and I do believe if you are doing something from grant money it should be covered or don't bother with the project to start with and that includes potential over runs. So for the ballfield if there is not enough grant money halt the project. Truthfully, that project never should have started because planning would have shown potential over runs in excess of the grant. I would look at projects like Liberty Way or the Dam which are required projects and look for grants. I would look at grants for the ballfield only because some members of TC are geared to completing the project regardless of cost impact and we can't afford for more town money to go onto this project. <br /> <br />However, until someone rises up and says no more grants at the county, state or Federal level we do need to explore them to lower our town tax rate whenever possible. Or towns like Plainsboro and New Brunswick will benefit from our tax payments leaving us with high county and town taxes.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Jul 28 2009, 10:36 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The July 27, 2009 Township Committee meeting agenda</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Thank you Win!

It was good to get an understanding of the ball field history. <br /> <br />There are still potentially additional expenses and the cost is still unknown. I think there is a range of expenses for additional items. The items are dugouts, bleachers, sign, water hook up (well water or public water). There will be ongoing cost to maintain the field as well including water (if public), lawn maintenance, insurance, etc. <br /> <br />I want to clarify some points made in a previous post. <br /> <br />There was support from both members of both parties but Mayor Stave did point out that there was opposition as well along the way. The majority opinion was to proceed with the ball field. <br /> <br />The cost of the ball field so far (not including legal expenses) has been $500,783. The township paid $25,783 and $475,000 came from the county budget which is funded out of our property taxes. From our current property taxes, 56.8% goes to the school, 24.6% goes to the town budget and 18.6% goes to the county. The tax payers paid the entire $500,783. $475,000 came out of our county taxes, $25,783 came out of our town taxes. It is a pet peeve of mine to think that money coming from the county, state or federal government is free, it always comes from one of our taxes. <br /> <br />The total cost of the Wright South property was $1.126 Million including remediation. Depending on intended use, remediation costs may have been less. This expense is not all for the ball field though since there are other potential uses for the remaining land. <br /> <br />Win</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Jay T.</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Jul 28 2009, 8:56 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The July 27, 2009 Township Committee meeting agenda</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">A few items to add on to the post above. <br /> <br />Dan Mulligan and I specifically asked that they not spend additional municipal money and that they look for grants. When I pressed them on the issue of town money being used the response by Tom Panconi was we agreed to do build regulation field and we will do a regulation field including all of the items such as dugouts, bleachers, scoreboard, etc... When I said no matter the cost, they agreed (minus Win) that they would proceed and re-stated they would look at grants. I further asked that they not rush to do the work since 128,000 of expense raises our rate by 1 cent and again that they not spend money from our town taxes or take on debt. <br /> <br />Overall there was a good history provided, but the history did not cover the present time and missed some points. There were a few numbers absent. For example, there are legal fees being paid in order to seek remuneration. No disclosure of engineering fees incurred in the soil remediation, etc...My understanding is that legal fees incurred cannot be paid by the insurer so that is an expense for us. Also, according to the township office the grant already received was to cover dugouts, signage, bleachers, etc...So I am not sure if a new grant would be available to cover the cost over runs. <br /> <br />I also voiced my concern that the engineer and others involved had not been looking at the soil conditions to ensure they met spec and were appropriate for use. <br /> <br />Further, Pari spoke about the PNC bank and that the bank is not inclined to donate the building. So from a TC perspective, there is no more they can do since they were charged with only a dialogue to see if PNC would donate the building.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue, Jul 28 2009, 7:50 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: The July 27, 2009 Township Committee meeting agenda</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Last night, the mayor reported... <br /> <br />The decisions to preserve the land, convert it to recreational space and build a ballfield were made over several years, supported by members of both parties, on the recommendations of the recreation committee and the school, with a series of open meetings for community input. <br /> <br />The ballfield construction has cost the Township $25,000, so far. <br /> <br />There will be additional construction costs to complete the project- dugouts, scoreboard, watering system, etc. The Township will look for grant money to cover the costs of completion. <br /> <br />Problems with the contractor have delayed completion of the grass field.
