COMMUNICATIONS: LETTER FROM RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER REQUESTING THE SUPPORT OF THE BOROUGH OF RUMSON FOR THEIR “PAINT THE TOWN PINK” PROGRAM FROM MAY 4 THROUGH MAY 12, 2012: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter dated February 9, 2012 from Stacey Donovan, Chair of the Riverview Medical Center “Paint the Town Pink” program, requesting the Borough of Rumson to join the other participating towns in their 6th annual event during the week of Friday, May 4th through Saturday, May 12th to heighten awareness of breast cancer and educate on the importance of early detection and mammography. Ms. Donovan stated that their goal was to have the town leadership, business owners, schools and organizations involved in showing their support and participation in the “Pink Your House” and special events during that week.

On motion by Councilwoman DeVoe, seconded by Councilman Broderick this communication was ordered received and permission for the Borough to participate in the “Paint the Town Pink” program was granted. All in favor. LETTER FROM RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER REQUESTING PERMISSION TO PLACE “PAINT THE TOWN PINK” BANNERS ON THE TENNIS COURT AT VICTORY PARK AND ACROSS RIDGE ROAD AT MEADOW RIDGE PARK FROM APRIL 16TH THROUGH MAY 14TH: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter dated February 9, 2012 from Stacey Donovan, Chair of the Riverview Medical Center “Paint the Town Pink” program, requesting that they be allowed to hang two banners to advertise their event from Monday, April 16th through Monday, May 14th—one on the Victory Park tennis court fence and the other over Ridge Road in front of Meadow Ridge Park. Councilman Shanley stated that he felt that banners over a roadway cause a distraction for drivers. He added that the Police Chief also felt they were a distraction. Mayor Ekdahl stated that they had discussed the banners at the February 13th Borough Council meeting when Stacy Donovan appeared to make the requests for “Paint the Town Pink” in person. The Mayor stated that the banners were hung by professionals and added that the banners across the streets in Fair Haven and Red Bank become part of the landscape. Councilman Shanley stated that he had a problem with the length of time requested for the banners to be in place from April 16th through May 14th. Councilwoman DeVoe agreed that a month was too long for the banners to be up. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator stated that the real focus of the event was May 4th through May 12th, just before Mothers’ Day. He stated that the concern was that they could not put everything up in the same day and added that the Council could shorten the time allowed. Mayor Ekdahl suggested that the Council approves the banners to be up from May 1st through May 14th. Councilman Broderick stated that since the program was for one week, it warranted putting up the banners a week prior. The Council agreed that the banners should be allowed from May 1st until May 14th. On motion by Councilwoman DeVoe, seconded by Councilman Broderick this communication was ordered received and permission for the two “Paint the Town Pink” banners to be hung on the tennis court fence and over Ridge Road was granted for the time period of May 1st through May 14th. All in favor. LETTER FROM RIVERVIEW MEDICAL CENTER REQUESTING PERMISSION TO PAINT A PINK LINE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED STREET DURING THE “PAINT THE TOWN PINK” EVENT: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter dated February 9, 2012 from Stacey Donovan, Chair of the Riverview Medical Center “Paint the Town Pink” program, requesting permission for a temporary pink line three to four inches (3″ to 4″) wide to be painted down the middle of a well trafficked street during the May 4th through May 12th event. Ms. Donovan explained in her letter that the owner of a painting company has donated paint, equipment and manpower to paint the pink line and then when the event has ended come back and restore the street to its original condition. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised that the painted line would most likely be done on River Road, which is a County road; if the Council approves the line to be painted, it would authorize him to send a letter to the County in support of Riverview Medical Center’s request. Mayor Ekdahl stated that last year the pink line was painted on Front Street in Red Bank and continued on River Road in Fair Haven.

On motion by Councilwoman DeVoe, seconded by Councilman Broderick this communication was ordered received and permission for the line to be painted pink in the middle of River Road during “Paint the Town Pink” was granted. All in favor. LETTER FROM THE RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN RUN RACE DIRECTOR REQUESTING PERMISSION TO HOLD THE 21ST ANNUAL RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN RUN ON FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 2012 WITH A ONE-MILE RACE TO START AT 6:30 P.M. FOLLOWED BY A 5K RACE AT 7:00 P.M.; THE RACE WILL START ON RIDGE ROAD IN FRONT OF RFH REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL HEADING WEST, NORTH ON BELLEVUE AVENUE, EAST ON RIVER ROAD THEN CIRCLE BACK TO THE RFH TRACK VIA BLACKPOINT ROAD: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter dated February 14, 2012 from Kevin Hill, Race Director of the Rumson-Fair Haven Run, requesting permission to hold the 21st Annual Rumson-Fair Haven Run on Friday evening, May 11, 2012 beginning in front of Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School. A one-mile race will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by the 5K race at 7:00 p.m. The course of the race is west on Ridge Road, north on Bellevue Avenue, east on River Road and back to the High School track via Blackpoint Road. Mr. Hill stated in his letter that they would work with the town department heads to insure that all safety, insurance, traffic, and police requirements were met. Councilman Shanley asked if anyone knew why the day of the event had been changed from Sunday morning to Friday evening this year. Mayor Ekdahl stated that there were actually two changes: 1) the race had been 5 miles in past years and will be 5K this year in hopes that a shorter race would attract more participants than in the last few years and 2) the second Sunday in May being Mothers’ Day was perhaps keeping people away also. He added that there were so many other races in the spring, finding another weekend day would be difficult, so they chose Friday evening. The Mayor stated that he thought the two changes were positive moves. Councilman Shanley stated that Sunday morning was a better time for the race if it weren’t on Mothers’ Day. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator stated that switching to another Sunday morning proved to be difficult. Mayor Ekdahl stated that he thought it was worth a try on the Friday evening. On motion by Councilman Rubin, seconded by Councilman Shanley, this communication was ordered received and the request for the Rumson-Fair Haven Run was granted. All in favor. LETTER FROM MERCY CENTER OF ASBURY PARK REQUESTING PERMISSION TO HOLD THEIR 2ND ANNUAL PADDLE WITH A PURPOSE EVENT AT VICTORY PARK ON SUNDAY, JULY 15, 2012 WITH A PADDLEBOARD/KAYAK RIDE & RACE RUNNING FROM 10:00 A.M. UNTIL 12:00 P.M. FOLLOWED BY AWARDS CEREMONY LASTING UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 2:00 P.M., WITH A TENT ON THE GROUNDS AND TO SERVE LIGHT FOOD AND REFRESHMENTS (INCLUDING ALCOHOL TO THOSE 21 AND OVER): The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter to the Mayor dated February 14, 2012 from Ariane Yazdan, Director of Donor and Public Relations at Mercy Center of Asbury Park, requesting permission to use Victory Park again this year on Sunday, July 15, 2012 to hold their 2nd Annual Paddle With A Purpose event. The Paddleboard/Kayak Ride & Race will take place from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. followed by an awards ceremony that will last until approximately 2:00 p.m. Ms. Yazdan’s letter advised that they would like to serve light food and refreshments, including alcohol to those 21 and over, and have a tent set up for the awards; they have made arrangements on both sides of the Navesink River for the following: a full staff, safety personnel for both land and on the river, EMS, Marine Police and lifeguards and have secured the required insurance. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator stated that the event last year did not include a tent or serving food or alcohol. He stated that he thought that the organization didn’t understand the strict requirements of the State for serving alcohol in an open air setting. He noted that during the 5

Centennial Celebration at Victory Park in 2007 the Borough was required to set up a beer garden that was in an enclosed area and people were allowed to drink only within the enclosure and not take beer out into the rest of the park. Mayor Ekdahl stated that there was also the factor of increased insurance when alcohol was served. Councilwoman DeVoe stated that she felt that it was not necessary for them to have a tent at the event. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator stated that a tent, which was usually put up a few days in advance and not taken down until a few days after the event, could be a problem in a park that is as heavily used as Victory Park. It was mentioned that the bandstand at the park could serve the same purpose as a tent. In answer to a question from a Councilman, the Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised that for any outside organization or group to use a Borough park or an organized event, they must provide a certificate of insurance with the Borough named as an additional insured on the policy, and if alcohol is to be served, a much more substantial certificate of insurance must be provided. (If an organization uses a Borough facility for an extended time, like a soccer season, then they provide insurance for that time period; if an organization uses it for a one-time event then they provide insurance for that day, so the coverage is a little different.) On motion by Councilman Rubin, seconded by Councilwoman DeVoe, this communication was ordered received and the request to use Victory Park for the Paddle With A Purpose event was granted but the requests for the tent and alcohol were denied. All in favor. LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL ADVISING THAT A RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED AT THE FEBRUARY 7, 2012 BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AUTHORIZING THE CHANGE OF THE DATE OF THE ELECTION OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS FROM THE THIRD TUESDAY IN APRIL TO THE FIRST TUESDAY AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN NOVEMBER (THE GENERAL ELECTION) BEGINNING IN 2012 AND REMAINING IN EFFECT AT LEAST THROUGH NOVEMBER 2015: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of letter from Frank E. Gripp, III, Business Administrator/Board Secretary of the Board of Education of Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School, advising of the adoption of a resolution on February 7, 2012 by the Board of Education authorizing the change of the date of the Election of School Board Members and the School Budget from the third Tuesday in April to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to coincide with the General Election (a certified copy of the resolution was included). The Municipal Clerk/ Administrator advised that the change would take effect in November 2012 and remain in effect at least through November 2015; the date cannot be changed within that time period and at the end of the four years it will require new authorization to remain in November. On motion by Councilman Rubin, seconded by Councilman Shanley, this communication was ordered received. All in favor. LETTER FROM DUCKS UNLIMITED REQUESTING PERMISSION TO CONDUCT A SHORELINE CLEANUP AT THE NORTH END OF NAVESINK AVENUE TO COLLECT DEBRIS WITH THE HELP OF LOCAL YOUTHS FROM THE RUMSON-FAIR HAVEN ENVIRONMENTAL CLUB AND WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF THE COLLECTED DEBRIS: The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised of a letter to the Mayor and Council dated February 24, 2012 from Police Lt. Scott Paterson, NJ State Chairman of Ducks Unlimited, requesting permission to conduct a shoreline cleanup in Rumson at the north end of Navesink Avenue. He advised in his letter that he had contacted the Rumson-Fair Haven Environmental Club to invite them to participate and spoken with DPW Superintendent Mark Wellner regarding the disposal of the collected debris. The Municipal Clerk/Administrator advised that Ducks Unlimited had done this project in Rumson in the past and it was a great benefit to the Borough. 6

On motion by Councilman Shanley, seconded by Councilman Rubin, this communication was ordered received and permission for the Ducks Unlimited project was granted. All in favor. LETTER FROM THOMAS P.
