Commissioner Reports
Martin Brand
• Informed the Commission about some notices that needed to go out on the NY side of the lake for the blanket permit, and said the same would have to be done in NJ if a blanket permit was granted.
Dan Bello
• Reported that the Commission needed to write a letter to Eric Pain at the Ringwood State Park about the drawdown and the timeline for it.
Floyd DeAngelo
• Reported that he received an email from Assemblyman Brabenick about a line item in his budget that he believes was part of the Morohan Grant funds, but it was never appropriated to the GWLC. Floyd is following up to make sure we can acquire these funds.
Eric Hastings
• Reported that he spoke to Karen Dauphiniaus in Albany paperwork for the Morohan Grant, and is working with Dale to complete the process.
• Eric also reported that he removed 3 floating docks on the lake in the last two weeks that came loose from the shoreline. Clint suggested to work with West Milford to get a dumpster for extra debris that will be found during the drawdown.
• Eric also reported that he learned on a grant from the NJ Environmental Infrastructure Trust that can be awarded to homeowners to repair their septic systems. He also said that this would justify the aerial infrared study, because some residents have trouble affording these repairs.
Clint Smith
• Clint referred to Andy Abdul from the West Milford Environmental Commission about water testing equipment the town was getting, and was following up with any Commissioners that wanted to learn how to use the equipment.
Paul Sullivan
• Paul reported that at the last Freeholder meeting in Passaic County, they voted to award the grant of $20,000 to the GWLC. Within a month the GWLC should have the check.
