CHATHAM, NJ -- Captain Tom Salvas served in the U.S. Air Force for more than five years in the previous century. But the Chatham Township resident has never stopped serving the public.

In addition to his duties as a member of the Mayors Wellness Committee and the Senior Citizens Advisory Committee, Salvas has taken on a more personal endeavor the last two years in memorializing the first-hand accounts of Chatham veterans in the "Veterans Project" for the Library of the Chathams.

A photographer and video producer, Salvas was on hand, along with those who have told him their personal stories of service, at Monday night's Borough of Chatam Council meeting, where Chatham residents were recognized with a proclamation for "Military Appreciation Month".

Tom Salvas talks about the common thread of "commitment to serve" he has heard from Chatham military veterans

Appearing at the meeting to be recognized were Rick Loock, staff sergeant U.S. Air Force with service in Vietnam; Joel Boroff, captain U.S. Army in Vietnam; Justin Strickland, captain U.S. Army in Iraq; John Crouthamel, first lieutenant U.S. Army in Vietnam, Jack Conlan, corporal U.S. Marine Corps, 1956 to 1959.

In other business, the council unanimously adopted the 2023 municipal budget. Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said that it's a "confusing year" when it comes to the budget because of the revaluation of homes in her remarks below.

After receiving a surprise announcement of a 20% premium increase in healthcare insurance in January, the council took two measures on Monday night to improve its healthcare benefits situation. The council voted to terminate its relationship with the State Health Benefit Plan and then voted to join the North Jersey Municipal Employee Benefits Fund in order to receive a more competitive premium rate.

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham Borough has scheduled an information session about the upcoming fee change for garbage collection, which is set to take effect next year.

The information session will be held on Tuesday, May 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Borough Hall in the Council Chambers.

The detailed meeting will also include feedback from the vendor who will supply the various-sized garbage bins as well as DPW personnel. According to Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen, there will also be plenty of time for questions and answers at the meeting.

Due to a number of issues with the borough's green bag program, officials said the garbage collection program will soon undergo several changes.

Those changes include:

In just three years, the cost of the green-bag collection program has increased by over 70 percent. Other issues that the borough has identified with the current program include the current labor shortage, safety concerns with manual garbage collection, difficulties with the supply and quality of green bags and the risk of animals getting into those bags.

In a survey given to all residents, 70 percent of those who responded agreed that the borough should discontinue the green bag program if it costs more than an alternative option.

At the April 10 Chatham Borough Council meeting, Mathiasen gave an update on the upcoming fee change for garbage collection. Under the new system, a 64-gallon garbage bin would cost $482, versus $564 with green bags. The smallest bin, which holds 35 gallons, would cost $259 instead of $374.

A separate category was also created with the borough's senior citizens in mind, according to Mathiasen. Under the senior category, a senior who uses the 35-gallon bin every other week would pay $130 for the entire year.

Residents are currently billed annually for solid waste and quarterly for water and sewer. The borough is considering a quarterly billing program in which residents would receive a single bill with three sections: water, sewer and solid waste.

This would eliminate the borough's need to bill residents separately for solid waste and allow residents to pay this bill quarterly rather than once a year.

Monthly bulk waste collection will continue as normal, officials said.

The bulk program has always had restrictions, but they haven't been strictly enforced in recent years, the borough said. Due to rising disposal costs, the borough has asked the vendor to strictly enforce existing bulk limitations and only pick up what is permitted under the bulk program.

Officials expect the new garbage system to be operational in 2024.

Lead Pipe Removal Program In The Works For Chatham Borough

As part of an effort to meet new stringent water service line requirements, Chatham Borough is compiling an inventory of all water lines. CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham's Department of Public Works will compile an inventory of all water lines serving homes as part of an effort to meet new stringent requirements regarding water service lines.This inventory is the first step in a 10-year project to identify and replace lead or galvanized water lines, which is a requirement for all water utilities in the state under New Jersey Depa...

As part of an effort to meet new stringent water service line requirements, Chatham Borough is compiling an inventory of all water lines.

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham's Department of Public Works will compile an inventory of all water lines serving homes as part of an effort to meet new stringent requirements regarding water service lines.

This inventory is the first step in a 10-year project to identify and replace lead or galvanized water lines, which is a requirement for all water utilities in the state under New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulations.

The inventory will be used to establish priorities for service line replacement, with the areas with the most lead service lines being addressed first.

Another aspect of determining priority is cost reduction through the consolidation of projects involving the opening of roads and sidewalks, as well as the simultaneous replacement of multiple service lines in one area.

Serious health issues can arise from lead exposure, which can come from sources like drinking water. Lead can pass from a pregnant woman to her developing fetus due to previous high lead exposure or exposure while pregnant. If a mother is exposed to lead during her pregnancy, her chances of miscarriage increase.

Adults who have been exposed to lead may have problems with their hearts, kidneys, blood pressure, the likelihood of developing hypertension and reproduction.

Lead is not normally found in drinking water at its source. It is typically introduced into drinking water through lead-containing service lines, plumbing, and fixtures, which corrode and leach into the water over time.

Lead content in pipes, fixtures, solder, water temperature, pH, and hardness are all factors that influence how much lead leaches into the water.

"We regularly test our water for lead and other contaminants and have had no issues in over ten years. Our drinking water is of exceptional quality - some of the safest in the state," Chatham Borough’s DPW director Tony Torello said.

The borough is sending a letter to all residents asking them to look at their service lines and submit information on the materials used via email or a form in order to compile the inventory.

Residents who need assistance locating their service lines or identifying the material should contact DPW directly, officials said.

"While it is important to ensure that our water remains absolutely safe and to stay on top of our infrastructure, this project and this timeline do amount to a large, unfunded mandate from the state," council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said. "Also, because we run our own water system, we can’t just pass this problem on to a private utility."

The new water utility program will also be formally discussed at the next Chatham Borough Council meeting, which is scheduled for Mar. 13.

Patrick K. Cole, Vice President at H2M Architects + Engineers, is assisting the Borough with the program and will be speaking to the council at the Monday meeting.

"The borough has an excellent track record in terms of water quality, and they are being proactive in beginning this process now," Cole said.

Chatham Borough Council: Do the Right Thing Concerning PILOT, not merely what’s Legally Permissible or Expedient

To the Editor:

This is in response to a Chatham Courier article dated Thursday 2/23/23 (“Residents levy worries over sharing River Road tax revenue”; in both print and online editions).

The article concerns the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) item with respect to the River Road Redevelopment initiative (at corner of Watchung Avenue and River Road in Chatham Borough). In particular, it concerns the possible future conveyance of some PILOT monies by the Chatham Borough Council to the School District of the Chathams (whether beginning with the CY 2023 budgetary process or sometime thereafter).

My comments pertain exclusively to procedure, governance and accountability between the Chatham Borough Council and the residents of Chatham Borough. They in no way address the substantive proposed uses of the referenced PILOT monies over time by either the Chatham Borough Council (CBC). on behalf of its constituents or by the School District of the Chathams (SDOC) on behalf of its constituents.

Synopsis of comments below is provided immediately below.

Addressing the items above in somewhat more detail, I suggest that SDOC and CBC, respectively, take the following four actions.

1. SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CHATHAMS

2. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL

3. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL

4. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL

Perhaps my suggestions above are ”…[not] representative of attitudes in the borough at all…” [per CBC member J. Mathiasen in above-referenced Chatham Courier article]. I think otherwise but I may well be mistaken.

If I am indeed mistaken per Ms. Mathiasen then so be it and I would fully respect Chatham Borough residents’ expansive view of representative democracy as well as their substantial deference to the actions of their elected representatives. Related, and on behalf of all other residents of Chatham Township (particularly those who are current or future students in SDOC), I would then like to thank in advance both CBC and the residents of Chatham Borough for their generosity toward SDOC in the form of anticipated voluntary PILOT payments in the coming years.
