Taylor rules broken
for Mayor’s Ball
No insurance provided!
The Mayor’s Ball was required by the rules for the lease of Taylor pavilion to have insurance for the event. We can see that the requirement was checked off as having been met on the form where Colleen Connolly, Borough Administrator, approved the use of Taylor pavilion by Colleen Connolly of the Mayor’s Ball Committee.
A few readers here noted that no insurance information was provided by the Committee on that same application (which was published here a couple of weeks ago):
One of them decided to OPRA the insurance information that would have been required for the approval:
And shared with us this response:
A few readers have also noted that although Taylor has a capacity of 200 persons, the application states that 250 would ne attending the event.

No They wouldn’t make that mistake. Can’t be.
I was harassed for not wearing underwear. Does that count as emotional abuse and can I sue the mayor for bringing up the topic? I have whiplash of the lower extremities.
Well it’s always so much easier to get approved when you are approving your own request. This gang still can’t shoot straight when it comes to protecting the taxpayers. Perhaps the Russians interfered. Better think about Tort Claim notices. Talk about conflicts of interest!
So Colleen used her position as BA to ok an event (where she was listed to receive keys) to be held, even though all requirements to lease the pavilion were not met. Can you say ethics problem ?!!!
This is very simple. This was an official borough event and was covered by the borough’s insurance. Well doesn’t this now open up another can of worms?
When I OPRAed the list of sponsors and the amounts they contributed I was told it wasn’t an official Borough event.
#4- you may be correct. Take a look at NJ Statute 40A:9-22.5 (Provisions requiring compliance by local government officers,employees)
“Houston, we have a problem”
So the law in this town applies
only to the residents and not
the law breakers. Interesting?
No liability here … just 250 people with a 4-hour full open bar. So, service of spirits is now allowed at Taylor Pavilion? Also, what’s with the use of an out of town liquor establishment supplying liquor and the bartenders? More layers of the onion to be unpeeled.
Belmar needs a lot more than $1,000,000 to cover the damage caused by the Mayor’s Balls.
I saw bartenders from La Dolce Vita working the event.
12 – Oh this is about to get very interesting!
1099’s surely will be filed due to the videos all the video taking at all the other cash businesses in Belmar? Tips taxed? Donations? Who knew dirty doherty would become a pseudo revenuer?
Four hour full open bar….and then people drove home…Scary. And me, who needs insurance for the event??????
With each recent posting exposing (or questioning) a new round of violations, excesses, or unilaterally created “rules” for life in Belmar my head is spinning. Perhaps most importantly, the brazen sale of Belmar and its resources to the highest bidders and/or friends/associates/supporters of Doherty and his political coherts, has tipped my disbelief level up to the max. We all recall early discussions of whether the Taylor Pavilion would be rebuilt, what we were building, how much it would cost, what could FEMA money be used for in terms of rebuilding a public, ocean side building and the specific approved uses for that space. I don’t remember any discussion of a privately company using it as a wedding venue. I can’t recall Belmar residents being told they would be banned from using the outdoor porch, or a portion of the beach, in deference to a private vendor making money off OUR PUBLIC pavilion, which was paid for with a Bond that shot our debt level sky high. I don’t know the extend of the legal .. and civil rights .. violations that may/may not need to be addressed, but perhaps this is another issue that the residents of Belmar must take upon themselves, and examine the facts and our options for a collective action to challenge the actions and directions the Mayor and Council have/are taking Belmar.

They must not have delivered enough student votes in last Belmar election. http://www.app.com/story/news/crime/jersey-mayhem/2017/07/21/belmar-camp-emzee-closed/500659001/
#15 – I’m sure they had a legal waiver furnished by the shade tree commission allowing them to drive drunk for a certain amount of hours/days following the event.
Like everything else in Belmar it will be after the fact that the Belmar Mayor’s Ball purchases an insurance policy indemnifying the Borough of Belmar against any claims caused by the Belmar Mayor’s Ball organization.
Remember the Bean Rule, no after the fact voting.
