The Jersey City Council voted against hiring the executive director of the Hudson County Improvement Authority as a recycling consultant.

Ward E Councilman Steven Fulop asked to delay the vote to get additional information on the company and the work it would do.

Assistant Business Administrator Greg Corrado said the city is required by state law to monitor demolition material that is recycled.

At Monday?s caucus meeting Ward C Councilwoman Nidia Lopez questioned why the Jersey City Incinerator Authority couldn?t do the monitoring.

Corrado said the consultant, NMG Associates whose principal is Norman Guerra, executive director of the HCIA, would be overseeing work that the JCIA does.

?Since (the JCIA) does demolition on its own, it can?t license itself, it can?t watch itself, so the city must provide this function,? Corrado said.

Fulop questioned whether NMG was just consulting or actually doing the monitoring and Corrado said he believed the company did the actual monitoring.

NMG was the lowest of four bidders for the contract, which is not to exceed $25,000.
Corrado said the city paid a company $22,000 to provide the same service last year.

?I am looking for more information on what exactly they do,? Fulop said. ?Some more information is not a bad thing if we?re going to pay $25,000.?

Fulop, Councilmen David Donnelly, Mariano Vega and Councilwomen Viola Richardson and Nidia Lopez voted against the contract.
