Asbury Park PressSaturday, February 27, 1988 A5 HM Negotiators plan one more session on PBA contract Proposal on principals is criticized Teaching experience would be unneeded Press Toms River Bureau my J3) mrrffr-' ill! k-4 0 Press Coastal Monmouth Bureau BELMAR There will be one more negotiating session with a mediator before binding arbitration becomes necessary in contract talks between the borough and PBA Local 50, according to negotiators from both sides. There was little movement toward a settlement during a 1 '2-hour meeting Thursday, negotiators said. The next meeting will be scheduled in about two weeks, they said. The borough has offered a 4 percent salary increase for 1988 and 7 percent increases in 1989 and 1990, said Timothy M. Crammer, borough attorney.

The PBA has requested 5 percent every six months for three years, said Sgt. Richard T. Lynch, president of the PBA, which represents 21 members of the force. Under the current contract, a starting patrolman earns $20,400 a year. A four-year patrolman earns $29,268.

Lynch said a 4 percent increase would not keep salaries on par with those of police departments neighboring communities. The PBA also is opposed to the 'ir rv If DOVER TOWNSHIP A proposal to eliminate teaching experience as a requirement for public school principals was criticized by Ocean County lawmakers yesterday. Speaking to principals from across the county, state Assembly members Jeffrey W. Moran, John T. Hendrick-son, Robert W.

Singer, all R-Ocean, and John Paul Doyle, D-Ocean, blasted the proposal from state Commissioner of Education Saul Coo-perman. Under current regulations, three years of teaching experience and a master's degree in public school administration are necessary for principal certification. Cooperman's plan would allow school districts to consider candidates who have no teaching experience. Candidates would have to possess a master's degree in either public administration, public school administration or management, and must complete an internship. Teachers and principals across New Jersey oppose Cooperman's plan, citing there are more than 1,000 teachers who have principal certification and are waiting for job openings.

The state Board of Education has scheduled a public hearing for next week on Cooperman's plan, said Robert W. Matthies legislative chairman of the Ocean County Secondary Principals Association, and headmaster of the Admiral Farragut Academy, Beachwood. Yesterday's legislative breakfast was jointly sponsored by the Ocean County Secondary Principals Association and the Ocean County Elementary Principals Association. Legislation proposed by Assemblyman Joseph A. Palaia, R-Monmouth, would override Cooperman's proposal by making it law that school principals have at least three years of teaching experience.

Coast Guard station to close on Tuesday 1 1 DEMOCRAT DINNER Sen. Frank Lautenberg speaks last night at the Monmouth County Democratic Organization, at the Shore Casino, Atlantic for support in his re-election campaign, where he is expected to face Peter Press Coastal Monmouth Bureau AVON Coast Guard personnel will bid goodbye to their Shark River station in a closing ceremony planned for Tuesday morning as officials concede there is virtually nothing that can happen before then to head oft the shutdown. There has been a Shark River Coast Guard station for 140 years, according to Lt. Commander Hugh Grant, who said the station definitely will not operate after Tuesday. The station has fallen to the federal budget ax and is one of several set to close around the country.

Rep. James J. Howard, who fought unsuccessfully to keep the station from closing, said yesterday he would fight to have it reopened. Officials close to the situation have said, however, that it would be extremely difficult and expensive to reopen a station that already has been closed. "I am greatly disappointed that borough's demand to permit the use of special police officers on overtime shifts rather than use regular officers.

The current contract requires the use of regular officers when a regular officer is absent. Crammer said. The borough wants to be able to use special officers on regular shifts when an officer is absent, he said. The PBA also has opposed the' borough's attempts to purchase post-retirement health insurance from the N.J. State Health Benefits Plan, Crammer said.

Switching from the borough's current private carrier would save money and provide identical coverage, Crammer said. The preliminary municipal budget discussed Thursday night by the Board of Commissioners, which calls for no increase in the municipal pur-, poses tax rate, includes a 4 percent, increase for the police said Charles F. Ormsbce borough clerk. Ormsbce said if the PBA contract is settled with more than a 4 percent increase, the commissioners will have to enact an emergency appropriation and the increased costs will show up in the 1989 budget. the Coast Guard is proceeding to close the Shark River station before Congress has the opportunity to consider legislation which could provide funds to keep the station open," said Howard in a written statement released by his office.

The closing and dismantling of the station should take little time, according to Grant, who said he expects everything to be moved out by March 15, "including people and property." Grant said the closing ceremony, scheduled for 10 a.m., will be attended by Rear Adm. Robert L. Johanson, the commander of the Coast Guard district extending from Maine to Toms River. Grant said Avon borough officials have been invited to the ceremony, which will include taped music, speeches and the departure of Shark River's two Coast Guard boats. The boats will be transferred to the Sandy Hook station, which, along with the Manasquan Inlet station, will take responsibility for the Shark River area, Grant said.
