Message from Mayor Madden: The Summer of our Discontent

Approaching the ending of our summer plans and activities, it seems that there were more things that we wanted to accomplish. Even with the best laid plans, this epilogue becomes the very reprise of each passing summer.

How do we break this persistent cycle? Do we attempt to plan more efficiently or leave off some of these items from our bucket list? I have always tried to live by the old adage; “if you fail to plan then you will plan to fail”.

This conundrum seems to pervade both outside as well as inside of Borough Hall. In other words, some positive and some not-so-positive events do occur every year. The similarities are striking.

Our Plans and Their Status

For instance, although years in the making, our streetscape, along Bound Brook Road, plan is finally coming to fruition.

On the flip side, we have spent many hours in conversation, meetings and emails attempting to resolve the erosion problem with the folks on Heather Lane. I call this an urgent environmental emergency (one of two lingering in the Borough). The agencies that initially offered to help were FEMA, Army Corp, Green Brook Flood Control Commission, DEP, State OEM and the list goes on. One by one they all bowed out. I have called Senator Bramnick to come out and take the tour. He was quite surprised to see the damage. Next, I called Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman to also come out to see the problem. Hopefully she will visit soon.

I urge residents to contact your representatives to remedy this issue as one house has already been condemned and if nothing is done, the domino effect will claim the other homes. I believe that federal funds can be available in this case. Unfortunately, the Borough cannot get involved with private property.

More Good News, Bad News

On a positive note, we have recently purchased the Foreign Express property at 302 Union Ave. The vision is that this will be a nice addition to enhance the Victor Crowell Park entrance, including parking and rest rooms.

On the flip side, we are still facing the ecological and environmental damage of our historic Creighton Lake, which occurred when on August 1, 2021, a major N.J. American Water main burst, bringing to our lake much debris and chemical discharge causing a massive fish kill and extremely high E. Coli contamination (in my opinion). One month later we were hit with storm Ida, further exacerbating the damage. This is now a “swirling vortex of entropy). N.J.  American Water has absolved all responsibility for the damage. Again, Senator Bramnick took the tour to view the ongoing problems with our lake.

The road to success in these two problem areas, in my opinion, is to scour every possible related resource and inundate them with persistence until resolved.

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston S. Churchill, former Prime Minister.

Mayor John L. Madden

Alligator Sighting: Victor Crowell Park CLOSED for Public Safety

The Middlesex Borough Police Department is working in conjunction with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Fish & Wildlife Conservation Police Officers in an effort to relocate an alligator, estimated to be three to four feet in length, which has been seen in the waters of Lake Creighton, commonly known as the Duck Pond, and the Ambrose Brook, which is a conduit between the lake and the Raritan River.

Police officers responded to Victor Crowell Park on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 and made attempts to capture and remove the threat from the potentially dangerous species of non-indigenous reptile, which is capable of inflicting serious or fatal injuries. The alligator was again located by officers on Saturday night in Lake Creighton and later in the Ambrose Brook, however the area in which it was located was not accessible to make capture feasible. Because the threat to public safety that this reptile causes is significant, a Middlesex Police Officer employed a safe discharge from a firearm in an attempt to neutralize it, while in close proximity. The alligator immediately submerged into the brook and it was unconfirmed if the attempt was successful.

Chief Matthew P. Geist stated, "Citizens are strongly urged to stay away from Creighton Lake and the Ambrose Brook and should NOT approach or make attempts to capture the alligator. They should contact the Middlesex Borough Police Department at 732-356-1900 if the reptile is observed in the area. Our police officers, along with officers from the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife Conservation Police have been monitoring the lake and the Ambrose Brook in attempts to locate the reptile and will take all means necessary to resolve this situation. These are the law enforcement partnerships we count on to help protect our community from this potential threat to the public health." There are unconfirmed reports through media outlets that the reptile was seen in Lake Creighton on Monday morning, August, 28, 2023. Chief Geist added, "In the interest of the public safety of our community, Victor Crowell Park will be closed to the public for a minimum of 72 hours or until such time that the alligator is deemed to no longer be a threat.'

Should you have any questions or require clarification regarding the information provided, please contact Lt. Thomas Falk at (732) 356-1900 extension 340.

It’s time to ask the tough questions and demand answers:

1. Why has work on the project stopped despite the US Army Corp of Engineers being funded approximately $467 million dollars almost two years ago (these are our tax dollars!)?

2. Every day delayed, allows inflation to eat away at the federal funds awarded to the Army Corp!

3. The funding received is more than enough to complete the Middlesex portion of the project. What obstacles are standing in the way of continued construction except for the state required 25%?  

4. What is delaying the NJ state required 25% of the project budget funds which are supposed to be provided by the NJ Dept of Environmental Protection?

5. Have the lobbyists, which are paid for by the GBFCC, regrouped now that federal funding has been provided, and refocused their efforts on getting the state funds needed to continue construction and complete the project?  

6. The project has stopped and is at a standstill. Why?? How long will this delay last?

7. The final phase of the project, along the Green Brook, was scheduled to begin construction (as of 18 March 2019) in 2023-2024 and now has NO start date and, therefore, no completion date

8. Simple access needed on properties in town has been denied by residents/business owners and some of these issues have been in the court system for years. This has also stopped construction in areas.

9. Why is there no sense of urgency for the completion of this project? Severe weather systems are increasing in the Northeast and are wreaking havoc on communities. It’s only a matter of time until Middlesex is inundated with another flooding storm. (We dodged a bullet from the storm system the weekend of July 8th which flooded the Hudson River Valley and many New England states – All just am a short distance north of us!!

Our homes, our properties, our businesses, our town and the safety of our families are at risk!

The only way to get real, substantive answers is through local pressure by Middlesex residents. This meeting may be our only opportunity to get those answers and jump start the flood wall project. 

• Green Brook Flood Control Commission website

• US Army Corps of Engineers, Green Brook Sub Basin, NJ web page

The danger is real. Attend and make your voice be heard.

The Borough needs your support on Saturday, August 5th, at 9:30 am at the American Legion Pavilion in Middlesex to get this vital initiative moving again.

Middlesex Again Named A "Tree City USA"

July 2023 | Middlesex was named a “2022 Tree City USA®” by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor our commitment to effective urban forest management. A special thank-you goes out to the members of our Shade Tree Commission for their important role in earning this designation!

Cooler temperatures. Cleaner air. Higher property values. Healthier residents.

The benefits trees bring to urban environments are endless — and by earning Tree City USA recognition, our Middlesex Borough community proves we do experience the benefits firsthand.

The Tree City USA program provides communities with a four-step framework to maintain and grow their tree cover. It also gives them an avenue to celebrate their work, showing residents, visitors, and the entire country that they’re committed to the mission of environmental change.

Learn more about the Borough’s Shade Tree Commission here.

Read more about the Tree City USA program on the Arbor Day Foundation’s website here.

Tree City USA is a community improvement and national recognition program for towns and cities, sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Middlesex Borough achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: forming a tree board or department, creating a tree-care ordinance, having an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a million-member nonprofit conservation and education organization with the mission to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Tree City USA is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters.

OEM: Ways to Prepare for Extreme Heat

People suffer heat-related illness when the body’s temperature control system is overloaded. The body normally cools itself by sweating. But under some conditions, sweating just isn’t enough. When the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly.

At greatest risk for heat-related illness include those who are at old age, youth (age 0-4), obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug use and alcohol use.

Learn more about Heat Stroke, Heat Exhaustion, and ways to seek assistance and cool down at https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/faq.html.

COMPLETED: Mandatory Town-Wide Revaluation

Now that the town wide revaluation, ordered by the Middlesex County Tax Board is complete, here is a recap. The revaluation was ordered for many reasons, however, the most compelling reason was that the last revaluation done was over 36 years ago. When assessed values are not regularly maintained, the chance of the tax burden being unevenly distributed becomes greater.

The new assessed value was set at the beginning of 2023 and all property owners were sent a notice of the new assessed value. You may recall this notice coming to you via “the green postcard” although this year and going forward the postcard is white. This year, the new assessment values rose greatly from last year. This is due to the average ratio of 23.62% in 2022, while 2023’s amount now represents 100% market value.

If you do have questions about your assessment, you should contact the assessor’s office with your questions.

• Via email: taxassessor@middlesexboro-nj.gov

• Phone: 732.356.7400 x 270.

Each year, every property owner has the right to appeal the assessment if they disagree with the value. The time frame to do this is from when you receive the postcard notification of assessed value until April 1st (or May 1st during a revaluation year). The Middlesex County Tax Board will conduct the hearings and issue a judgment as to whether or not a change is warranted on your assessment based on information you provide.

This year, your tax burden may be much different from last year due to the revaluation. The new assessment values will affect how the town’s tax burden is distributed. Tax credit benefits, such as senior and/or veteran deductions and senior freeze will still be in place. Tax bills in NJ are issued once a year usually in July and payable by the quarter. The yearly tax amount is calculated by taking the new assessment and multiplying by the current year’s tax rate. The 3rd and 4th quarter bills will be a trueing up for the current year as the 1st and 2nd quarters are estimates.

If you would like to get more in-depth information about revaluations, there is a brochure on the Finance page called "Understanding Revaluations” (see also, direct link to the pdf below). Also, there are several tax relief programs offered by the State of NJ and can be found at https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/relief.shtml. This link is also available on every yearly tax bill.

Message from Mayor Madden: Graduation Season and Summer

Graduation is certainly among the positive and consistent highlights that we recognize for academic achievement of our children. In our crazy world of broken traditions, new social mores, activities and challenges, the single thing that never changes is the “ritual” of the culmination of the educational experience in a graduation ceremony. At any level, it represents a distinct new page in the legacy of each of us. With each chapter, we leave behind us a plethora of interactions and experiences with family, friends and others who have shaped our persona giving us knowledge and wisdom in preparation for that next chapter.

In my time as Mayor, I have enjoyed being a part of these ceremonies each year, reminiscing about my own experience, which I always cherish. Everybody knows that summer is really in full swing once graduation concludes. That is a time to unwind, relax and do things that could not be done time wise during the school year. I am including this, my last graduation speech, which I hope will inspire and motivate others to pursue their own legacy.

Middlesex High School Graduation, June 15, 2023

Welcome everybody. It is truly an honor standing here before you on such a memorable occasion. A special note of sincere gratitude goes out to the families, friends, teachers, aids, coaches and others in their unwavering support and encouragement for our graduates.

I remember in my High School years, I, like many, were caught up in the fathomless abyss of dreams. Vietnam was raging and my draft number was looming.

Today marks the start of a new exciting journey into adulthood, a time when you will be confronted with new experiences, challenges and decisions. There will be many obstacles and unknown byways along the way. At times it will be daunting, even terrifying, while other times, fulfilling and rewarding. Such is the great dichotomy of life.

Just remember, because of Covid, your graduating class, the class of 2023, has experienced the most difficult and demanding lifestyle change, never seen in over 100 years!

Yet, you have come through unscathed, better equipped and better prepared than ever before for the next journey. Recognize then, that you are the beacon to become the stewards of leadership whether from your vocation or advocation.

Along the way, make kindness, compassion, integrity and honesty your guiding spirit. Your moral compass will then always be pointing North. With these new experiences, embrace them all with passion and enthusiasm, but never extinguish the fire kindled within your heart.

As Art Linkletter said, “Things turn our best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.”

Thank you again for this honor,
Mayor John L. Madden

Recycling Center Dedicated as "John Sweeney Recycling Center"

Above, left to right: Fran Sweeney (John’s son); Mayor Madden; Kay May (John’s daughter); and Melanie May (John’s granddaughter).

At this week’s Mayor & Council Meeting, our Borough Recycling Center was dedicated as the John Sweeney Recycling Center.

John Sweeney served the Borough of Middlesex from 1972 to 2021 in various capacities as a Life Member of the Rescue Squad, Volunteer Recycling Coordinator, Mayor’s Liaison to the Green Brook Flood Control Commission, Member of the Joint Land Use Board and also as a Council Member.

Mr. Sweeney began the Recycling Program in Middlesex Borough in the early 1980’s when he met with the late Mayor Dobies and got the program up and running by getting a donation of 6 drums for the center and once they were filled he would transport them to the recycling substation in Piscataway. As the years went by, the Recycling Center became self-sustaining and the Borough purchased a recycling truck for curbside pickup, which was done by the Borough DPW employees.

John Sweeney became the unofficial Recycling Coordinator for the Borough as a volunteer, and once retired became the Recycling Coordinator for Middlesex County, and Middlesex Borough became a model for other municipalities to start their own Recycling Centers and curbside pickup.

Read the full Proclamation below.
