Deputy Mayor Holmberg thanked everyone for coming to the meeting. He encouraged Ms. Brower to express her concerns to the Board of Education and to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and said Mr. Tovo would also contact her. He commended Ms. Vyff and her team for their efforts and cited them as great example of a community effort. Deputy Mayor Holmberg assured Mr. Kanter that there was no attempt to not be forthcoming but that discussions regarding the selection of Borough professionals took place at the subcommittee level. In addition, he said that there is a provision for the holdover of a Borough Attorney.

 

7.             DISCUSSION ITEMS:                                                                                        

-Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual, Chapters 1-4

 

Mr. Tovo led the discussion. He said the current manual is over thirty (30) years old and in need of revision. The new manual will have nine (9) chapters and help ensure the Borough maintains compliance with current regulations. Mr. Tovo said that the manual will be rolled out in conjunction with the DMS system, which is currently used by the Police Department. This system allows for the electronic dissemination of policies and procedures, both in the initial rollout phase and for any future updates or changes to the manual.  Each employee must electronically acknowledge receipt of all documents and the acknowledgement is recorded for tracking purposes. In addition, there may be a short quiz at the end of the document in order to gage the employee’s comprehension.

 

The Council commended Mr. Tovo and said the manual was extremely thorough. Mr. Tovo said that the next four (4) chapters of the manual would cover some of the Council questions, such as the use of drugs and alcohol, the procedure for job applications, and the expectations and guidelines for employee performance. Mr. Tovo said that the next four (4) chapters would be reviewed at the June 23 meeting, and that Chapter 9, which would encompass the job descriptions for each position, would be reviewed at the July meeting. Mr. Tovo said he hoped to have Council approval for the new manual by the end of the summer.

Councilman Lester asked Chief Bennett to address correspondence received by the Councilman from a Parsippany resident regarding traffic issues on Intervale Road. Councilman Lester had forwarded the correspondence to the Chief. Chief Bennett said he had called the individual and had left a message. In addition, the Chief stated officers had been conducting car stops and running radar on Intervale Road. Also, Sergeant Benitez was planning to place twenty-five mile per hour speed limit signs on the side of the road. In reference to speed humps, Chief Bennett said the placement of these would require a traffic study. Councilman Borin suggested contacting the Parsippany Police for additional assistance, since Parsippany residents border one side of Intervale Road. Chief Bennett said he would do so.

 

Deputy Mayor Holmberg said the Police Department’s efforts had been observed and appreciated and thanked the Chief and the Department for their efforts to create a safe environment. He mentioned the importance of communicating these efforts to the community.
