Meeting Minutes- May 2012
HCTA Trustees Meeting Home of B. Lehman
5/4/12
Present: P Kunz, B Lewis, S Lewis, J Loudon, B Lehman Absent: S Ellman, J Imperial, K Ries, J Cadmus
Membership: Jim moved to approve motion proposed by Saul to spend $1200.00 on a membership mailing. Saul felt this had better impact and communication that an email campaign. Those present approved. If he agrees, Saul will write the letter. Plus- it will include information from this meeting. Motion to approve by Jim. Seconded by Bryan with the caveat that the letter is approved by Phil prior to being sent. All voted to approve.
Annual Yard Sale: All is on track. Susan sent out a ‘save the date’ blast email after some server glitches. Kathy has update all info/forms Susan will send this weekend. J Cadmus committed to taking big sign to HC yard for posting, Jim will affix date sticker once sign is up. Phil and Bryan will hand out Treasure Maps/flags the morning of sale and Jim/ Phil/Bryan will pick up flags on Sat late afternoon. We agreed there would be one location for flag pick up: Leave by front door/porch.
Phil will print all Treasure maps- Kathy will compile and must get to him no later than 11am on Friday, May 25th.
JCTA: Barbara stated the Consolidated school budget is increasing by 6%. This includes the ‘step’ raise plus the 4.5% salary increase. What’s going on? The State cap is 2%. Barbara will pursue this at this weeks meeting. (exceptions include medical costs, etc.)The JCT wants better transparency and is proposing to send a letter to The Sandpaper to address these items, bring attention to this matter, discuss the marketing of the school and property for sale in Ship Bottom. They want the Island mayors to sign off on transparency, but believe they may have a conflict of interest being that their spouses are teachers in the district.
New Trustees: Susan will attempt to again make contact with those that submitted interest forms. Update to follow to Trustees.
BLVD Safety: Currently, the County is ‘boxing out’ the Blvd. This means they move earth and black top the area from the road to the utility poles where they can. Trustees notice they are ‘hop-scotching’ around. We have no info on this, but feel they are dealing with property issues. We find it amazing the amount of money the County has spent on traffic lights, utility poles and ‘boxing out’. Would it not be cheaper and safer to just re-paint the road in the suggested configuration and see how it works prior to the road re-surfacing? It’s safer and It’s Just Paint!
Barb L says Kirk Larson, mayor of B-light will not even conduct a dialogue with the JCTA. Maybe information on the NJ adopted Complete Streets program would help? The NJ DOT will do a presentation to Ocean County in the hopes the County adopts this program which sets standards for safe roadways. Matt Norris of the “Tri-State Transportation Campaign’ wants to speak to HC about conducting a ‘Citizens Walk-ability Survey’ to generate reportable information. Jon Oldham spoke with Phil and stated he wants to work with the HCTA to coordinate a positive msg/newsletter touting ‘Complete Streets’. Oldham confirmed to Phil that he has yet to send the HCTA written letter to the NJ DOT/GOV that he asked us to help craft. Phil pressed on the date that would go out. There was more discussion on the summer safety campaign with all present Trustees agreeing it would start Memorial Day weekend with a Letter to the Editor introducing the ‘Completes Streets program/standards and objectives. Susan will get information linked on the HCTA website and letters/news releases/ ads will be generated by Trustees and send for comment/feedback via email. First ideas are:
What is Complete Streets and how will it make HC Safer?
Complete Streets: Keeping Kids Safe
Complete Streets: Increasing Mobility For Older Americans
Two ads will follow a letter to the editor. A few Trustees volunteered to put together a ‘Concept Script’ for the mayor and commissioners so they have a concise, information packed statement for those that ask. The group agreed that we will try to work one to two weeks ahead of the paper.
The feral cat issue was discussed again. No new information at this time.

Harvey Cedars’ Life Guard In Training Program-Summer 2012
The Harvey Cedars Beach Patrol Life Guard In Training Program began in 2001 with 20 children and has grown into an amazingly successful program that trains over 100 participants each summer fro Harvey Cedars and neighboring towns.
The LIT program stresses overall physical fitness, water safety skills, sportsmanship, positive self-esteem and good listening skills. LIT’s learn to respect the power of the ocean and are taught first aid for incidents that happen on the beach. In an educational, yet fun environment, each LIT learns how to successfully use much of the same equipment that the professional lifeguards use for training and actual rescues that specifically happen on the beach, such as how to use a spine board and collar a victim with a neck injury. The LIT’s are trained and supervised by Harvey Cedar’s professional life guards-many of who have been HC guards for years.
Competitions are not the program’s primary focus, but many LIT’s are excited to have to opportunity to test their skills against their LIT counterparts from other island towns in LIT tournaments held in HC and other towns during the summer season.
The LIT instructors strive to make the program an enjoyable day at the beach for all and they hope that the ‘graduating’ LIT’s will stay and work as lifeguards on our beaches.
The program admits children ages 10-15 as long as they have the ability to swim in the ocean and are physically fit. The child must be able to perform basic exercise and run a short distance in the sand. Task must be performed to a standard that instructors can accomplish program goals. Registration forms must be completed by an adult and submitted to Borough Hall with the $100.00 fee. Check: Payable to the Borough of Harvey Cedars. 2012 LIT dates are from July 2 thru August 10th. Children ages 10-12 meet on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 9-11am. Children ages 13-15 meet on Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 9-11am. All meet at the Salem Ave Beach in HC. To download the registration forms, please visit the LIT website at LIT@harveycedars.org.
Meeting Minutes-March 2012
HCTA Trustees Meeting Lewis Home
March 23, 2012
Present: P Kunz, J Imperiale, J Cadmus, B Lehman, B Lewis Absent: S Ellman, S Lewis, K Ries, J Loudon
HC Budget: 4 Trustees attended various HC Budget meetings throughout the borough’s budget process. The Trustees are pleased with the outcome- the new HC budget is at 2008 spending levels.
Treasurer report: Jim is out of town. He notified President Kunz that there were no transactions since the last report and therefore no changes.
BLVD Safety: Latest updates on this effort were discussed.
The Trustees present decided that BL mayor Larson and LBY mayor Mancini will not change their opinions until we convince them that their constituents are on the side of safer roads in HC (and the island in general). We agreed that multiple fronts were needed to get a change in the lanes in HC including www.completestreets.org as a very viable source.
From their website:
“Instituting a Complete Streets policy ensures that transportation planners and engineers consistently design and operate the entire roadway with all users in mind – including bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and riders, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities.”
John I. proposed a letter to Governor and other officials looking for a positive association rather than an adversarial position from HCTA. The Board agreed to craft this letter. The board discussed that our BLVD campaign effort would be educational and brainstormed reaching out to other TPA’s to see if we could arrange to discuss the BLVD design.
New Trustees: HCTA members that expressed interest as serving as Trustees were emailed. Phil received no response.
Annual Yard Sale: No information on this. Susan and Kathy were not available to attend this meeting. Phil, was unable to secure Goodwill for ‘left-over; item donation pickups. However, Barbara will look into using the Boys/Girls Clubs of America as an alternative.
Ferel Cats: the problem continues. The Boroughs new program was brought up- no feedback yet,
The HCTA Annual meeting is scheduled for Saturday, August 25th.
