67
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,320
We have a discussion from our auditor

68
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,560
tonight. Uh

69
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,360
sir, would you like to sit next to our

70
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:21,430
CFO? Make it like a financial section.

71
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,199
» Uh good evening. Good evening, Mr.

72
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:25,279
Swisser. Um first I'd like to thank the

73
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:26,800
administration and everybody at town

74
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,160
hall. Everybody is very helpful during

75
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,920
the audit, very cooperative, so we do

76
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,839
appreciate that.

77
00:16:31,839 --> 00:16:34,959
Um um good news once again. Uh the

78
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:36,560
bureau has received an unmodified

79
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,079
opinion on his financial statements.

80
00:16:38,079 --> 00:16:40,000
That means after we did our audit, uh we

81
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,120
believe the financial statements in here

82
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,600
are fairly stated in all material specs

83
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,199
or respects and that's considered a

84
00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:46,800
clean opinion, the best opinion you can

85
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,800
get. So kudos to the finance office for

86
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,440
that. Uh we also have another opinion in

87
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,800
our audit report that's for government

88
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,600
auditing standard auditing standards. Uh

89
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,120
if we had any issues that we found

90
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,560
during our audit, we may have a finding

91
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,000
and recommendation. I don't if you

92
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,519
recall last year there was one finding

93
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:03,440
in recommendation that was correct in

94
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,439
2025 and there was no new

95
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:08,240
recommendations or comments in 2025. So

96
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,600
last year's was fixed and this year's

97
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,679
was clean. Uh so both opinions are

98
00:17:11,679 --> 00:17:13,520
clean. It's the best report you can get.

99
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,959
It's the highest insurance you can have.

100
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:17,600
So it's a clean audit. Uh from the

101
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,839
financial standpoint uh I'll probably

102
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,280
sound like a broken record again because

103
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,280
it's the same every year, but you're

104
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,559
once again fiscally stable. uh and your fund balance is maintained for the

105
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:31,840
last 5 years. Uh in 2021 your current

106
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,960
fund fund balance was 8.5 million. Uh in

107
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,080
2025 it's $ 8.7 million and every year

108
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,919
in between it's been around $8 million.

109
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:43,200
So you guys have been beyond consistent.

110
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,039
Uh and that's good for the bureau

111
00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:46,400
because it uh it helps them. You know

112
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,840
when you're doing your budget, you don't

113
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,919
have any highs and lows. Uh it's also

114
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:51,360
good for your bond rating. The bond

115
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,880
rating companies like to see a stable

116
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,400
fund balance. They don't see highs and

117
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,320
lows and you guys have avoided that and

118
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,799
have been quite consistent. Uh, one of

119
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:00,720
the last jobs I was working on, uh, they

120
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
had a fund balance back in 2021 of a

121
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,640
little over $7 million. They're now down

122
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,640
to $3 million. They're about the same

123
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,799
size as you guys. Uh, so unfortunately

124
00:18:08,799 --> 00:18:10,480
they were using revenue, one time

125
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,000
revenues to kind of balance their budget

126
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,760
and it's kind of run out of them now.

127
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,039
You guys have always, you guys never

128
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:16,080
done that around here. You guys are

129
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,760
always very consistent, uh, very

130
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,400
conservative and that's a credit to the council and also to the

131
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,960
administration. So, overall, I'd say a

132
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,799
healthy audit report.

133
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:26,400
>> Thank you. Any questions?

134
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,320
>> Yeah, we're cheap.

135
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,360
>> We're consistent, though.

136
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:32,080
>> That helps.

137
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,240
>> And thank you to our finance department.

138
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,120
And

139
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,480
>> I just like to ask add one thing. First

140
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:46,160
of all, thank you, Bill, for the report that you gave us. Your staff

141
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,960
that comes here, they're also very

142
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,120
pleasant. uh very cordial and they they

143
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,360
do their job. And I also want to thank

144
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,440
Lori who's our CFO uh for doing a great

145
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,760
job again this year. You did a great job

146
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320
last year and we just uh all thank you

147
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,080
for the hard work that you put in every

148
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,950
single day. Thank you.

149
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,840
Any other questions?

150
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,120
Well, I thank you for your time.

151
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,919
Hopefully u won't be much to look at

152
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:18,720
next year either.

153
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,320
>> We hope so. Thank you very much. Thank

154
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,280
you.

155
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,950
>> Good night.

156
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,120

00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:29,520

>> Well, this is all positive stuff. All

175
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,120
it's all good stuff. Um I'm really uh

176
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:57,520
excited to announce on behalf of the

177
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,760
Burlthorn Environmental Commission and

178
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:05,360
the Shade Tree Commission. Um I filed a grant opportunity in the beginning of

179
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,840
August for City Green. As you know, we

180
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,679
have a huge partnership with City Green

181
00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:11,280
with the community gardens, the

182
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,799
daffodils,

183
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,440
um the trees that we receive. So, um,

184
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,600
worked with Kevin Alberto, our our

185
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
arborist, and we I put together, um, an

186
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,799
application for 10 trees, and I'm really

187
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:26,559
pleased and excited to announce that we

188
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:29,039
were rewarded the 10 trees, and so we

189
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:30,640
will be putting these trees at the 8

190
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,280
acre woods. Um, Kevin and I went down

191
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,960
and we scoped out where we want to put

192
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,880
the trees. We want to really start

193
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,320
replenishing [clears throat] the woods

194
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,720

195
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,559
working with our DPW. But we're also

196
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:44,080

198
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,360
species down there and um the stuff that

199
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,960
shouldn't be there so that we can really

200
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,120
be successful in planting these 10

201
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,600

concerns of South at Diamond Bridge

215
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,159

00:21:30,159 --> 00:21:32,159
week. So, I'll be flipping you um the

217
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:35,360
information. It's just it's very narrow

218
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:37,360
and cars parked on both sides. They

219
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,360
can't get out of the driveway. concern

220
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,080
about um fire engines, trucks coming

221
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,774
through also. Um and there's

222
00:21:44,774 --> 00:21:46,000
[clears throat] no curbing over there,

223
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
so it's really tight. So, I'll send you

224
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,840
the information on that. And that's it.

225
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,480

It's uh it's a start. It's a good start.

228
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:01,360
>> Yeah.

229
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:04,320
>> That would be a resolution to accept it.

230
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,000
>> Um [clears throat] I don't know. It's 10

231
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,919
trees. There's no match. There's nothing

232
00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:08,960
that goes with it.

233
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,000
>> Monetary value.

234
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,640
>> Yeah. I I um Well, I'll have to consider

235
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,640
it. We're supposed to technically do.

236
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,360
So, these trees or seedlings or what are

237
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,520
>> No, they're trees, but then um I'm

238
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,200
pretty sure I haven't spoke to Al, but

239
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,760
he usually gets the daffodils also. So,

240
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,919
the city greens donates them.

241
00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:27,840
>> I don't think we ever

242
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,120
>> Can we do it on the fly?

243
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,880
>> When do we get the trees?

244
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,320
>> October.

245
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,559
>> Oh, well, see if we do need one. If if

246
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,200
we do need a resol, then we'll do it

247
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,520
next.

248
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,280
>> Fair enough. We'll do one. Technically,

249
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,520
anytime you receive something, we do a

250
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,679
resolution uh to accept. So,

251
00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:44,400
>> it's [clears throat] like I heard it

252
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,080
somewhere before.

253
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,600
>> If we don't pass it, they're going to

254
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,640
come and take them out.

255
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,159

258
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,120
first responders, especially the fire

259
00:22:57,120 --> 00:23:00,480
department after their uh, hard-fought

260
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,200
battle with one of the uh, businesses in

261
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,720
town, uh, Hawthorne Tire. Um, what a

262
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,520
horrible, horrible thing. Um, these guys

263
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:10,960

264
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,120

so I want to say thank you and your

266
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,080

267
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,559
on board and the police department. Um,

268
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,280

uh, I wish him the best of luck and I

271
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,120
hope that he decides to rebuild and stay

272
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,520
in town. That's it.

273
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240
>> I haven't seen the chief on News 12 more

274
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,440

278
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,320
thing.

279
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,789
>> Yeah.

280
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,520
So that'll lead us to the administrative

281
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,520

282
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,760
>> Thank you, Mr. President. I have a

283
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,120

284
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,120
It's for u ovarian cancer month. Whereas

285
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,280
ovarian cancer is the fifth leading

286
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,919
cause of cancer related deaths among

287
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:06,880
women in the United States. And American

288
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,640
Cancer Society estimates that in 2026

289
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,960
approximately 21,10

290
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,360
women will be diagnosed with ovarian

291
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:18,799
cancer and 12,450

292
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,919
will die from the disease nationwide,

293
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:25,840
including an estimated 650 new cases and

294
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,440
340 deaths in New Jersey. And whereas

295
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,279

296
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,440
burrow of Horththornne, New Jersey,

297
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,760

298
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,559
professionals, advoc advocacy

299
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:41,200
organizations, and all those committed

300
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,159
in raising awareness, remembering lives

301
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:47,600
lost, and offering hope for the future

302
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,320
with better outcomes and ultimately in a

303
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,919
cure.

304
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:54,240
Now therefore, be it proclaimed that the

305
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,159

affected by this devastating disease.

314
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,279
Now I have my agenda.

315
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:26,559
Yesterday morning there was a fire

316
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,919
at Horththornne Tire on Goffel Road.

317
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:32,400
This quickly became a five alarm fire

318
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,880
and the building is a total loss. It is

319
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,679
under investigation. Five of our

320

00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:43,520

324
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,159
approximately 7:30 a.m. and flames

325
00:25:52,159 --> 00:25:55,120

326
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,600

327
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840

management coordinator Matt Fencor for

00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,320
his coordination during the fire and

348
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,080
also for singlehandedly dispatching the

349
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,360
town by himself during the day. The

350
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:08,799
cause of the blaze is being investigated

351
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:12,960
with respect to garage recycling yard

352
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,039
waste and bulk bulk [clears throat]

353
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,520
pickup rules. These rules have been in

354
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,919
place for many many years. All of the

355
00:27:19,919 --> 00:27:22,960
rules are on our website and the burrow

356
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,200
calendar.

357
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,919
For months, we have been hearing that

358
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:31,039
the company has been missing pickups. In

359
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,480
fact, items haven't been missed. They

360
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,320
are items put out incorrectly for pickup

361
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,279
and per as per our code. Our code

362
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:44,480
officers are out placing stickers on

363
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,919
non-compliant items left at the curb. No

364
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:50,640
tickets will be issued, just stickers to

365
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,360
let the people know how items should be

366
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,559
placed at the curb for pickup. We will

367
00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:58,799
be doing this for the entire month of

368
00:27:58,799 --> 00:28:00,320
September.

369
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,240
Ravoli has been very responsive to our

370
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,720
telephone calls and our residents are

371
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,360
following the rules. If items are put

372
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,520
out to the curb correctly, they will be

373
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,640
picked up. I want to thank everyone who

374
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,200

421
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,360
And now I'll turn it over to our

422
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,440
attorney, Michael Pasqual.

423
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,520
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um, couple very little

424
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,320
to report on this evening on the legal

425
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,640
front and it was very sad to see a very

426
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,840
good business. Uh, Bob's Bob was a great

427
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,640
asset in the community. his nephews uh

428
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320
have since run the business and they

429
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,960
were just fantastic people. So hopefully

430
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,000
they can rebuild. Um there's nothing new

431
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,559
to report on the spoiled matter. Our

432
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:07,919
appeal remains pending. He is obligated

433
00:31:07,919 --> 00:31:11,679
to file his response uh within the next

434
00:31:11,679 --> 00:31:13,760
2 weeks. We'll see if that actually

435
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,440
happens, but he is next up to file his

436
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,480
reply [clears throat]

437
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,000
to our brief. Um, I did spend the last

438
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,360
two weeks catching up on Oprah. Oprah,

439
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,279
for those who don't know, is the Open

440
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:31,440
Public Records Act. And we get Opas

441
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,919
every day of the week. Numerous Opras

442
00:31:33,919 --> 00:31:36,000
every day of the week. Most of them are

443
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,799
directed towards our police in terms of

444
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,679
requests for bodywn camera footage,

445
00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:43,440
police reports, and the like. But a

446
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,600
great many of them also come to our

447
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,399
clerk's office seeking records, often

448
00:31:48,399 --> 00:31:50,559
voluminous records. Some of those

449
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:52,640
records are sought for people looking to

450
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,960
profit and place videos on YouTube or

451
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,919
otherwise tried to drum up business. And

452
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:01,519
some of those of course are for

453
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:04,159
legitimate purpose that there are people

454
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:05,760
out there who want to know that

455
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,640
government is operating correctly and

456
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,120
we're happy to comply. Um I want to

457
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,960
thank Jen Copenol. I want to thank

458
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,519
Lieutenant Ian Spone and I want to thank

459
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,919
Lori Fernandez for helping me clean up

460
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:20,960
our backlog and we'll continue to

461
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,240
address these Opas as they come in. Uh

462
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,480
final part of my report will be the band

463
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,640
shell. Good news for all of you. It'll

464
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,559
be my last band show report of the

465
00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:33,279
season because the season is over. Um,

466
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,840
we had a movie Sunday night in the rain.

467
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,919
By the end of the movie, there were two

468
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:40,240
people sitting there with umbrellas, me

469
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,840
and Ellen. And, uh, there was also, uh,

470
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,919
one person from the library staff, three

471
00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:48,240
of us, uh, to watch the end of the

472
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,000
movie. But, you know, who doesn't like

473
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,600
Jason Mimoa doing comedy?

474
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,080
It was actually pretty good. Um, in any

475
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,399
event, we showed the movie on the

476
00:32:58,399 --> 00:33:00,960
Wednesday preceding. We had a fantastic

477
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,360
concert for those who made it. A journey

478
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240
tribute band who really blew the roof

479
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,799
off the place. They were dynamite. So,

480
00:33:08,799 --> 00:33:10,960
we had a wonderful season. We had good

481
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,519
weather throughout. We had great support

482
00:33:13,519 --> 00:33:14,399
and that's [clears throat] what really

483
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:16,720
makes it happen. A thank you to the

484
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,679
donors. We get tremendous

485
00:33:19,679 --> 00:33:22,799
support from donors. Um, we do about

486
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:26,480
$20,000 worth of donations every year.

487
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,640
This year, a little more than that. Um,

488
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,679
because we spend a little over $20,000

489
00:33:31,679 --> 00:33:35,360
presenting the shows that we do present.

490
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,440
Uh, I want to once again thank the

491
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,279
committee. There are three people in

492
00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:41,519
particular who really worked hard to

493
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:45,039
bring acts to the stage. That would be

494
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:47,760
Frank Riley, Lisa Sloop Maker, and

495
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,399
Richard Schneedeker. Uh thank you to

496
00:33:50,399 --> 00:33:52,399
those three in particular and for always

497
00:33:52,399 --> 00:33:55,200
being there to support my brother John

498
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,279
with great support. Gene Millie, Ellen

499
00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:01,279
Bragno, Joan Hervey, Nancy Agnello,

500
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:04,000
Lorie Foley, Joe Carr, and of course

501
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Wally Maziac. Um so it's a great

502
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,399
committee. We do great work and again

503
00:34:10,399 --> 00:34:13,440
everything we do at the band shell is

504
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,079
for at the benefit for the benefit of

505
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,440
the public at no cost to the public. Uh

506
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,520
special thanks to some of the people who

507
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,760
really help make it possible as well.

508
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,720
Our DPW director, Bill Hafler, Moren

509
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:29,679
Cook for making sure our signs are out.

510
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,399
Uh for Anthony Dala for keeping the sign

511
00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:34,408

513
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:39,040
me updated on weather uh when I need

514
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,599
him. So, we have a lot of hands that

515
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:44,159
make this work. And finally, two people

516
00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:46,879
who probably earned MVP awards this

517
00:34:46,879 --> 00:34:49,839
year. That would be Scott Guyire and

518
00:34:49,839 --> 00:34:52,720
Susie Guyire. When we ran out of toilet

519
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:55,359
paper, they gave us toilet paper. when

520
00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:58,400
we needed a battery because we needed a

521
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,800
9V battery for one of the amps on stage,

522
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,599
they gave us a 9V. Uh so they're

523
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:08,640
terrific people and uh great asset to

524
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,960

546
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,200
police department's leadership camp as

547
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,160
well as the graduation as many of you

548
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,760
did um some days later. Uh,

549
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,079
congratulations to all the graduates and

550
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:18,160
another outstanding job by the Hawthorne

551
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,160
Police Department in putting this

552
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,000
together and making a difference for all

553
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
our youth. That's all I have.

554
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,359
>> Thank you, Vince. Now, we'll hear any

555
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,119
questions that the council may have. Mr.

556
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:30,320
President,

557
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,599
>> any questions?

558
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:34,880
>> Sure. Um, no engineer tonight, I guess.

559
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,960
>> No engineer.

560
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,520
>> So, no report. No report on engineer.

561
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,240
Okay. Um the the question the only

562
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:48,320
question I have um uh mayor I know last meeting we talked about um reaching

563
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,040
out to um state representatives about

564
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,000
the flash flooding we were having. Did

565
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,920
we have any response any feedback? Did

566
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,040
we get a chance to do it?

567
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,800
>> We actually we did it right away. Um, I

568
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,280

569
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,359
representatives uh and um we had a tour.

570
00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:11,200
Uh they they couldn't make it, but their

571
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:17,599
chiefs of staff and I uh walked the uh

572
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:20,880
the Congress Mills area, the brook,

573
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,000
showed them exactly how the brook turns

574
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,640
and what's going on. Um they said

575
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,119
they're going to go and uh see if they

576
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:33,680
can get uh any kind of funding for us uh

577
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,960

581
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:48,480
there's anything that the federal

582
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,839
government can do. But uh we also talked

00:37:51,839 --> 00:37:56,000

Lafayette Avenue. Um they have already

595
00:38:32,079 --> 00:38:34,400
started the process. Uh I called them

596
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,760

597
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,760

state,

613
00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:26,720
>> uh and federal. Um I I just would you

00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:29,680
just mind keeping the council uh posted

615
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,680
on any progress we have on that issue?

616
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,200
Absolutely. I would appreciate that.

617
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:33,760
>> Yes.

618
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,320
>> That's all I have.

619
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,680
Vince, on the grant uh summary that you

620
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,440
forwarded us to us, was there anything

621
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,520
having to do with flood mitigation?

622
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,240
>> Not yet.

623
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:44,640
>> Okay.

624
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,880
>> There we're I'm working with them.

625
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,320
>> Jump on that if it happens.

626
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,760
>> There's there might be some EPA or D

627
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,359
grants that may be out there.

628
00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:53,680
>> Okay.

629
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,160
>> Um at a federal level because that's

630
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,920
some of the uh the kind of money we're

631
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,920
going to need to Yeah. to fix these

632
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:01,119
issues. Right.

633
00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:02,640
>> Brandon,

634
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,640
any questions? No, I'm good tonight.

635
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,240
>> Any questions down here, Bruce?

636
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,800
>> Uh, no, just a comment. I'd like to

637
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,000
thank you, mayor. I don't know what

638
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,280
prompted tonight's proclamation, but um

639
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,079
I'm so glad you did it. Ovarian cancer

640
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,320
is an insidious disease that affects

641
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,920
women of all ages, and not just them. It

642
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,839
has a major impact on the people who

643
00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:26,960
love them. So, anything we can do to

644
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,359
bring awareness to this issue, I thank

645
00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:29,920
you.

646
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,160
>> You're welcome, Bruce.

647
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,760
We actually got a communication from a

648
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,839
survivor

649
00:40:35,839 --> 00:40:37,760
>> asking us for support and we both jumped

650
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,680
right on it and said make it happen.

651
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,560
>> I wish it could have been Tony.

652
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,359
>> Us too.

653
00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:45,280
>> Yeah.

654
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,920
>> Uh yes, piggybacking on to council

655
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,320
president's comment. Vince, I really

656
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,760
appreciated this information you

657
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,240
forwarded to us about the grants and uh

658
00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:57,839
of course the one that will go to the uh

659
00:40:57,839 --> 00:41:00,079
the sports program. It's a big booya.

660
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:01,520
But then of course now I'm licking my

661
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,720
chops at others on this list that are

662
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,119
where other organizations decided not to

663
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:09,359
apply. Can we just jump on some of that?

664
00:41:09,359 --> 00:41:10,480
I'm sure. Right.

665
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,839
>> Yeah. No, we can.

666
00:41:11,839 --> 00:41:13,680
>> Any money that's available,

667
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,440
>> we know that the municipalities don't

668
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,160
typically get anything from anywhere.

669
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:22,160
So, uh, kudos to you for, um, suggesting

670
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,240
we hire this new company and, um, and

671
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:26,560
keeping us informed. It means a lot.

672
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,000
Thank you.

673
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,240
I'm going to I just like to thank our

674
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,319
administrator for selling the contract

675
00:41:32,319 --> 00:41:35,119
for the police as a first

676
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,440
one. You know, no negotiation, nothing.

677
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,079
Thank you. And Michael, the bandell, how

678
00:41:40,079 --> 00:41:41,200
many people you think went through the

679
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,880
bandell last summer years? How many do

680
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,800
you think? 5,000 people?

681
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,680
>> Oh, more than that.

682
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:46,319
>> More than that.

683
00:41:46,319 --> 00:41:49,359
>> Yeah, because we had at least 500 for

684
00:41:49,359 --> 00:41:52,640
the journey group. We had about 1,200

685
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,000
for Billy Joel and another thousand. So,

686
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,200
um, we we probably had three probably

687
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,200
about four to 5,000 this year alone.

688
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,880
>> And then when you do that over the

689
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,200
course of 10 years, you know, I'm not

690
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,200
going to say we had 5,000 every year,

691
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,240
but we've probably had over 30,000

692
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,520
people come to our shows over the last

693
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,280
10 to 11 years. So, it's been great.

694
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,079
>> Just curious, you know.

695
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:20,640
>> Thank you. By the way, I have to I I my

696
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,839
shadow committee of uh Lori Fernandez

697
00:42:23,839 --> 00:42:26,960
and Dominic Mey are also part of the

698
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,680
backbone here. And nobody does more than

699
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,400
Dominic [clears throat] who shows up for

700
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,680
everything in the rain.

701
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,079
>> He showed up in the rain handing out

702
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:37,440
popcorn to kids.

703
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,040
>> He's a closet rocker.

704
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,200
>> He really No, he even showed up for the

705
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,079
Minecraft movie and help kids. He didn't

706
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:46,720
know how to build Legos, but he knew how

707
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:48,079
to hand out uh

708
00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:48,720
>> popcorn.

709
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,520
frisbee, you know, whatever we

710
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,079
had. So, Dominic really has has

711
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:57,440
spearheaded this from from day one. And

712
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,040
you deserve a lot of credit for this

713
00:42:59,040 --> 00:42:59,520
success.

714
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,880
>> Happy people enjoy it.

715
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,359
>> Yeah, we really, like I said, we had no

716
00:43:03,359 --> 00:43:05,599
less than 5,000 people come through this

717
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,400
year. And uh we get compliments from

718
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,240
other communities. People come from

719
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:11,520
other towns [clears throat] saying,

720
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,319
"This is great." and uh we'll make it

721
00:43:14,319 --> 00:43:16,400
better next year. So,

722
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,640
>> I just like to add one thing. Uh I'd

723
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,599
like to thank Dominic for getting us the

724
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,240

safety code ordinances to make sure they

877
00:48:36,319 --> 00:48:38,559
have to be in person for some reason. I

878
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:41,359
guess maybe CO had it virtual too, which

879
00:48:41,359 --> 00:48:42,559
I don't know how that can happen, but

880
00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:46,079
all fire safety code inspections now

881
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:47,920
have to be virtual like it always should

882
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,240
have been. That's it. Virtual

883
00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:52,160
>> in person.

884
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:53,680
not virtual.

885
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,990
>> Okay. At least you're paying attention.

886
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,839

00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,319
cooked on the spot. You don't even have

909
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:49,599
to get out of your car because our

910
00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:51,920
mayor, who is such a hardworking mayor,

911
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,480
brings it to your car. Um,

912
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,240
>> remember to tip your waist.

913
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:57,760
>> That's right. There's a variety of ways

914
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,680
you can purchase. There's the QR code.

915
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,280
There's fancy ways. There's

916
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,200
old-fashioned ways, but support our

917
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,880

918
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,200

00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:55,839
year. Next year we're going to do the

00:50:55,839 --> 00:50:59,680
men's room and possibly a couple

940
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,000
surprises maybe. But it's 75 years old,

941
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,559
right, Mayor? You cuz you were so and

942

mean we're all the same age.

944
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:07,680
>> Wasn't me.

945
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:08,800
>> He broke ground.

946
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,720
>> I was I was there first.

947
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,640
>> But I mean it's all the original piping

948
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,119
and still there. It's It's costly, but

949
00:51:15,119 --> 00:51:16,640
of giving something back to the table.

950
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,839
>> Yeah, we we uh we we did a good job uh

951

We don't make money on it, but we're

964
00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:56,000
giving back to the people. That's what

965
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,680
it really is. It's

966
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:58,400

00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,119
>> So, so May, is it true that the Anamarie

968
00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:03,839
can really wield a jackhammer? Is that

969
00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:04,319
rumor out there?

970
00:52:04,319 --> 00:52:06,880

975
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:17,839
I've already met with the burough

976
00:52:17,839 --> 00:52:19,440

977
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:20,880

00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,520
needs attention and they're doing an

984
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,040
outstanding job with no taxpayer money

985
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,559

990
00:52:53,119 --> 00:52:54,640

little short.

Thank you.

1062
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,359
Um, so since the last time I was here in

1063
00:55:35,359 --> 00:55:38,240
the July meeting, oh, sorry, Rosaria. I

1064
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:42,000
live on 258 Central A and I was here in

1065
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,480
July about the traffic and people flying

1066
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,400
up and down the street and then the

1067
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,440
cross section of Fifth A and how there's

1068
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:50,720
always car accidents. So, there was

1069
00:55:50,720 --> 00:55:53,040
another car accident that happened while

1070
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,960
I was at work and this time it did not

1071
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,559
hit my house, so that's a plus. Great.

1072
00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:01,599
Um, but I got home and um there was sand

1073
00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:04,319
all over and they did clean it the next

1074
00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:07,440
day, but despite the cleanup and

1075
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,559
everything when I got home,

1076
00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:13,040
there's pieces of car parts all over the

1077
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,640
front of my house and in my flower pots.

1078
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,400
Look, there's like a tail light here,

1079
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,960
guys. Reflectors.

1080
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,799
And it just speaks to the fact that

1081
00:56:22,799 --> 00:56:25,839
people are flying down Central A. They

1082
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:29,520
are flying. It's 25 miles per hour. I

1083
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,760
don't know why this specific street

1084
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,040
they're flying and these poor people

1085
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,319
coming out of fifth a can't see and

1086
00:56:38,319 --> 00:56:40,079
they're flying so much that they're not

1087
00:56:40,079 --> 00:56:43,040
stopping in time. They're it's parts are

1088
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,720
spraying

1089
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:47,040
>> everywhere like I've never seen such a

1090
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:48,319
thing. So I know you were going to

1091
00:56:48,319 --> 00:56:51,760
conduct an audit

1092
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,839
>> after your last email. I had reached

1093
00:56:53,839 --> 00:56:56,480
back out to Captain Hogamood. Did he

1094
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,599
reach out to you?

1095
00:56:57,599 --> 00:56:58,240
>> No,

1096
00:56:58,240 --> 00:57:00,160
>> he didn't. Okay. All right. Well, I'll

1097
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,319
follow up with him tomorrow. Um, we had

1098
00:57:02,319 --> 00:57:04,799
another conversation about about that

1099
00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:07,200
intersection and they were very

1100
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,359
receptive, meaning the traffic and the

1101
00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:11,440
captain, the command staff to making

1102
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:15,040
that stop sign all the way there. So,

1103
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,319
that will definitely slow things down.

1104
00:57:18,319 --> 00:57:18,960
>> There's a stop at

1105
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,559
>> three-way stop. Yeah.

1106
00:57:22,559 --> 00:57:23,520
>> Because

1107
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,680
>> they are flying into my house. Yeah,

1108
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:26,480
>> while I sleep,

1109
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,000
>> they were definitely not opposed to it.

1110
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,240
They they are well aware that it's a

1111
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,079
dangerous intersection.

1112
00:57:32,079 --> 00:57:34,720
>> Okay, I'll follow up with him tomorrow.

1113
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:37,440
>> Also, temporarily get one of those uh

1114
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,599
things that show you your speed limit,

1115
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:40,480
>> right?

1116
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,160
>> I could I could I could ask them to like

1117
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:43,520
we did three or four years ago.

1118
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,440
>> Yeah, you did. And it worked. Yeah.

1119
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,240
>> And central, right?

1120
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,400
>> Because yesterday it was Was it raining

1121
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,640
so hard yesterday? I can hear people

1122
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,119
just flying down. Like I could just hear

1123
00:57:55,119 --> 00:57:58,400
it and it's they're going way above 40.

1124
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,960
Like way above 40.

1125
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,640
>> Yeah.

1126
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,000
Real quick.

1127
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,160
>> Now, as far as the clean of the debris,

1128
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,160
um I'm assuming that a vehicle was

1129
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:12,000
probably towed. Tow company

1130
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:12,960
>> that's on that's on

1131
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,119
>> tow company gets paid to clean up.

1132
00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:16,160
>> That's a violation.

1133
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,000
>> Yeah. So, if you guys can look into

1134
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:20,079
that, see if we can find out. And thank

1135
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:22,240
you. I think it was so bad that like you

1136
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,079
can tell like in the street they tried

1137
00:58:24,079 --> 00:58:26,960
but this was in my pots. This was I have

1138
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,040
a lot of flowers around my house. This

1139
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,680
stuff was in the pots. So I you know

1140
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,200
it's nice that they didn't go and shove

1141
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,559
their hands in my pots but it's still

1142
00:58:36,559 --> 00:58:38,880
evidence that there was like

1143
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,880
>> like what how like how fast you have to

1144
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,559
be going for things to just splash

1145
00:58:42,559 --> 00:58:47,680
everywhere like from the street.

1146
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:49,280
So what you're So you're not saying that

1147
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,119
they were neglectful by cleaning up they

1148
00:58:51,119 --> 00:58:52,160
couldn't see it because it was all

1149
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:52,720
hidden in your

1150
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:59,190
>> pocket in my flower.

1151
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:00,319
» No, we understand.

1152
00:59:00,319 --> 00:59:01,599
>> Yeah.

1153
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:03,839
>> So I thought I'd share

1154
00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:05,760
>> hope to reach out to you tomorrow again.

1155
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,200
>> Thank you.

1156
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:12,789
>> You're welcome.

1157
00:59:12,799 --> 00:59:15,119
» A visual for everyone.

1158
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:17,119
>> She brought props. We love props.

1159
00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:18,799
>> He brought props 28 years ago.

1160
00:59:18,799 --> 00:59:21,520
>> Yeah.

1161
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:22,559
>> Good evening everybody.

1162
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:24,000
>> Hello Mr. Bogle. How are you?

1163
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,799
>> 16 Horizon Terrorists. Uh it's been a

1164
00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:29,119
long time since I've been here. I was

1165
00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:33,040
just curious about any credence to my

1166
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,839
accusations about my property. Is there

1167
00:59:35,839 --> 00:59:38,480
any anything in the future there?

1168
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:39,280
Nothing. Right.

1169
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:44,400
>> No.

1170
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,359
>> Nothing. I got one question. You know

1171
00:59:47,359 --> 00:59:50,559
what this picture depicts?

1172
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:53,599
You want to get a closer up on it?

1173
00:59:53,599 --> 00:59:54,400
>> Sure. Why don't you bring it?

1174
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,559
>> Looks like a little dump truck.

1175
00:59:56,559 --> 00:59:59,440
>> This is a picture of a truck in front of

1176
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,920
Matthew Looper's house who said he was

1177
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,319
going to perform the job himself to tear

1178
01:00:04,319 --> 01:00:06,000
the

1179
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,480
retaining wall. This is a contractor.

1180
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,240
You could actually see the backhoe in

1181
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:11,920
the background.

1182
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,200
So, we'll put that side right now. So I

1183
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,760
want to address all of you. Have I ever

1184
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,319
said anything disparaging, derogatory?

1185
01:00:20,319 --> 01:00:24,950
Did I ever threaten you, Mr. Mley?

1186
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,000
» Think so.

1187
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,950
>> How about you, Miss Sasso?

1188
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,880
» To me personally, no. But you have been

1189
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,400
very um No, you have not to me

1190
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:37,760
personally.

1191
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,119
>> You Mr. Bennett,

1192
01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:40,720
>> what's the question?

1193
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:41,599
>> Do he ever threaten you?

1194
01:00:41,599 --> 01:00:43,920
>> I'll reiterate that for you. Have I ever

1195
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,920
said anything disparaging? Did I ever

1196
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,640
threaten you?

1197
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:47,760
>> No.

1198
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,680
>> How about you, Mr. Matthew? Miss Lar

1199
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,190
Roa?

1200
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,200
» Not directly, but the way that you've

1201
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:56,960
presented yourself here.

1202
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,040
>> The way I present myself, I present

1203
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,599
facts, not fiction.

1204
01:01:01,599 --> 01:01:04,319
>> I think you mean you've been passionate.

1205
01:01:04,319 --> 01:01:04,880
>> You could

1206
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,799
>> You're very emotional.

1207
01:01:06,799 --> 01:01:08,400
It's a very right

1208
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,040
>> derogatory.

1209
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,400
Uh, it can be uncomfortable.

1210
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,640
>> He's though you say maybe. How about

1211
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,160
you, Mr. Skier?

1212
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,960
>> Skiara. Um, Mr. Vogle, in all due

1213
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:22,319
respect, I've had conversations with

1214
01:01:22,319 --> 01:01:25,280
you, not away from the council and then

1215
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:26,640
at council meetings, we've had

1216
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,960
conversations. I understand your

1217
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:30,720
frustration,

1218
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,200
but so you understand on this side, some

1219
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,280
of the comments you've made to either

1220
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,119
the council or the administration can be

1221
01:01:39,119 --> 01:01:40,960
perceived as threatening. I don't think

1222
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,960
anybody directly, you didn't call any

1223
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,960
one person out, but it could be

1224
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,200
perceived as threatening. And I can tell

1225
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:48,720
you that that's that's how a lot of us

1226
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:49,119
felt.

1227
01:01:49,119 --> 01:01:52,799
>> Listen, Mr. I've done my homework. I've

1228
01:01:52,799 --> 01:01:55,200
never said anything disparaging,

1229
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:59,280
discarding any of my uh all I talked was

1230
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,559
facts all about what expired with this

1231
01:02:02,559 --> 01:02:05,520
town with the wall at my property. I've

1232
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,799
never I I can't decipher that myself and

1233
01:02:08,799 --> 01:02:10,960
neither could attorneys after I pay

1234
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,119
20,000 tomorrow. I'm going to bring

1235
01:02:13,119 --> 01:02:17,280
4,400 here for my taxes and I'm here 20

1236
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,880
at least 20 times. Now one credence of

1237
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:25,599
nothing about this problem. Nothing. So

1238
01:02:25,599 --> 01:02:26,559
where am I going?

1239
01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:30,640
>> Well, what if I recall the way I I

1240
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:32,480
recall it is that

1241
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,319
>> we've done everything meaning

1242
01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:35,920
administration has done everything they

1243
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:40,720
could about your situation and that your situation is really a civil case at

1244
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,000
this point and it and I think at a point

1245
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,599
saying Mr. Vogle we understand your

1246
01:02:45,599 --> 01:02:47,440
frustration if you don't agree with what

1247
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,680
we said. then you could go ahead and

1248
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,040
pursue it legally if that's what you

1249
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,160
wanted to do

1250
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,000
>> because we've done we've exhausted

1251
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,280
everything we can to try to help you

1252
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:55,599
out.

1253
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:57,599
>> The previous administration

1254
01:02:57,599 --> 01:02:59,119
>> was probably going to do something about

1255
01:02:59,119 --> 01:03:04,240
my problem but Mr. uh Goldberg left the

1256
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,520
office and when he was there Mr.

1257
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,000
Pasquali came in and did say this is all

1258
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,640
civil knowing that listen I know the law

1259
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,880
a little bit. I backed myself out of

1260
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:16,319
there because now I know I'm in for a

1261
01:03:16,319 --> 01:03:19,920
fight because what I've shown you is in

1262
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,920
the in the past is all documents from

1263
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,400
your with the city administration for

1264
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,160
this guy to do this work. the engineer,

1265
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:31,680
Peter,

1266
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,319
he was in front of me with the code

1267
01:03:34,319 --> 01:03:36,880
official

1268
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,119
and I'm standing there and he asks him,

1269
01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:40,720
"Are you going to sign off on this?" You

1270
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,160
know what, Mr. uh Payex words were, "I'm

1271
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,559
not signing off on this cuz I have no

1272
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:49,520
plans. If I show I'll reshow you the

1273
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,920
plans again, which Mr. Boswell in this

1274
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,599
open meeting said they were

1275
01:03:55,599 --> 01:03:59,920
unacceptable." So to me in my head I say

1276
01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:02,079
who's upstairs in the zoning board that

1277
01:04:02,079 --> 01:04:04,400
gives this guy this permit, a zoning

1278
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,400
permit to do this kind of works when it

1279
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,359
in fact he needed engineering

1280
01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:11,520
uh construction permit. All that stuff

1281
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,119
was like negated. So now I'm frustrated.

1282
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:17,520
So not only did you d you destroy my

1283
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,760
property, you're destroying my finances

1284
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,680
now, too. It's $20,000 in lawyer fees

1285
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,839
and I'm still paying my taxes because I

1286
01:04:25,839 --> 01:04:28,319
feel that that's my obligation. What is

1287
01:04:28,319 --> 01:04:30,880
your obligation? Just to say, uh, that's

1288
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,960
okay. This is okay that this guy does

1289
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,599
this in the state of New Jersey. This is

1290
01:04:35,599 --> 01:04:38,559
illegal. Is that true, Mr. Pasquali?

1291
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:40,480
>> I have no idea what you're talking.

1292
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,640
>> You have no idea what I'm talking about.

1293
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:45,280
>> Voggo, you're showing me a picture and

1294
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:46,960
you were trying to tell me something's

1295
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:48,319
illegal. I have no idea what you're

1296
01:04:48,319 --> 01:04:49,839
talking about. That's illegal. It's a

1297
01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:50,160
vegan.

1298
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,000
>> It's a picture of a truck.

1299
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,520
>> What's that thing hiding his name?

1300
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:54,880
>> I can't see it

1301
01:04:54,880 --> 01:05:01,349
>> here. Take a

1302
01:05:01,359 --> 01:05:02,240
» name's covered.

1303
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,000
>> The name is covered. So, you're an

1304
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,280
attorney. You know the law.

1305
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,280
>> Yeah. You know, listen, you can sit here

1306
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,680
and play Perry Mason all night and

1307
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,400
cross-examine everybody up here. You're

1308
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,240
not going to crossexamine me.

1309
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,400
>> The way you treat senior citizens in

1310
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,720
this this town. I'm a senior citizen

1311
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:19,839
now, too.

1312
01:05:19,839 --> 01:05:21,200
>> Great. I got

1313
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,559
>> I think I am, too.

1314
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:25,680
>> You might. You might. But Mr. Vogle, you

1315
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,359
come here and you tell us your version

1316
01:05:27,359 --> 01:05:30,240
of the facts. They're not everybody's

1317
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,200
version of the facts.

1318
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,400
>> Okay. Your truth,

1319
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:36,960
>> I think.

1320
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,480
>> Have a nice day, everybody. Have a good

1321
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,640
evening.

1322
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:46,150
>> Anyone else wish to be heard? Chief.

1323
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:54,870
Well, he's a nice guy.

1324
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,640
Yanza

1325
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:58,240
907 Lafayette here. On behalf of the

1326
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,839
fire department, I just want to just

1327
01:05:59,839 --> 01:06:01,839
want to thank you guys. Want to thank

1328
01:06:01,839 --> 01:06:03,760
Vincent, the mayor, for moving forward.

1329
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,839
I know Lori's been drumming up the funds

1330
01:06:05,839 --> 01:06:08,319
we need to make this truck work. Uh

1331
01:06:08,319 --> 01:06:10,319
we've been working on this truck for two

1332
01:06:10,319 --> 01:06:12,640
weeks now since we was donated to us. We

1333
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:13,920
did a little more research on the

1334
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,119
vehicle. Uh I'm not really a big fan of

1335
01:06:17,119 --> 01:06:19,200
military surplus, but I understand this

1336
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:23,280
truck has been refurbed 2010. So this

1337
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,880
value, this vehicle sits at almost

1338
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,000
$35,000 donated. So it's it's really a

1339
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,920
benefit. We've had several people come

1340
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:31,599
forward in the burrow asking us if they

1341
01:06:31,599 --> 01:06:33,359
can help and we of course said yes and

1342
01:06:33,359 --> 01:06:35,520
we honored to take people doing that.

1343
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:36,880
Getting a brand new canopy, what's going

1344
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:38,720
to be a convertible type canopy for the

1345
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:39,760
vehicle instead [clears throat] of a

1346
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,000
hard top. Uh that's probably about four

1347
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,480
grand. Seats are being redone. We're

1348
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:46,480
getting a tire replace the barrels money

1349
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,079
and the mechanical will go out. We're

1350
01:06:48,079 --> 01:06:51,039
going to use the DPW of Glenrock. We're

1351
01:06:51,039 --> 01:06:52,400
grateful you done that. That's going to

1352
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,000
save us a lot of money. And the

1353
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,359
mechanics there have come over looked at

1354
01:06:55,359 --> 01:06:56,480
the vehicle already. They're starting to

1355
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:58,000
catalog what's going to be needed and we

1356
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,760
don't think it's going to be uh you know

1357
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,359
a boatload of money by any means. So we

1358
01:07:01,359 --> 01:07:02,559
think this truck will be in service

1359
01:07:02,559 --> 01:07:04,240
pretty quickly. The guys are working on

1360
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,160
it whenever we can. Unfortunately, we're

1361
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:07,680
being disrupted quite a bit. You know,

1362
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,920
it's just been a strange couple months,

1363
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,319
but uh we've had this vehicle for about

1364
01:07:12,319 --> 01:07:14,000
two weeks now, and we've uh accomplished

1365
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,839
this so far. So, we're sanding the

1366
01:07:15,839 --> 01:07:18,480
vehicle. It started its painting. It's

1367
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,720
being hand painted. Uh it's the

1368
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:22,319
recommendation of military is do not

1369
01:07:22,319 --> 01:07:23,680
spray it because it's not going to hold

1370
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,640
up. It's a it's like a

1371
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:27,680
we're using, believe it or not,

1372
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:29,280
International Harvester Farm and Tractor

1373
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,440
paint, which is $40 a gallon compared to

1374
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,440
$120 a gallon for automotive paint. So,

1375
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,280
it's working fine. The guys are working

1376
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:36,480
on it. We're pretty proud about it.

1377
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:37,839
We're going to do the repairs, get it

1378
01:07:37,839 --> 01:07:40,079
going. But again, we have quite a few

1379
01:07:40,079 --> 01:07:42,079
people stepping up with uh some

1380
01:07:42,079 --> 01:07:43,760
donations. We're gonna a sign company

1381
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,960
from Prosa Parks. We're going to put a

1382
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:46,480
sign on it. It's going to put our our,

1383
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,079
you know, ID of the fire department as

1384
01:07:48,079 --> 01:07:50,319
well as the vendors and people that have

1385
01:07:50,319 --> 01:07:52,079
donated to us. But I do want to thank

1386
01:07:52,079 --> 01:07:53,839
you guys. It's we don't get to this

1387
01:07:53,839 --> 01:07:56,480
point unless we have some cooperation.

1388
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,520
Want to get off track on that. And last

1389
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,559
yesterday's fire, I was quoted in in the

1390
01:08:02,559 --> 01:08:04,160
county and I'm they're telling me it's

1391
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:05,599
about time somebody spoke up and I don't

1392
01:08:05,599 --> 01:08:06,640
know why chiefs and other departments

1393
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,400
aren't speaking up. There is a meeting

1394
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,160
going on right now, a countywide

1395
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,440
meeting. All chiefs have been required

1396
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,119
to do the order representative on the

1397
01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:15,839
phone. We also met in front of again the

1398
01:08:15,839 --> 01:08:18,239
uh commissioners to understand what

1399
01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:20,080
their premise of the phone problem is.

1400
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,600
Well, yesterday was a perfect example

1401
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,080
why we need phone. Had we had phone, we

1402
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,279
would introduce phone in that building.

1403
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:26,719
probably within the first hour the fire

1404
01:08:26,719 --> 01:08:28,159
would have been extinguished rapidly in

1405
01:08:28,159 --> 01:08:30,640
comparison to what it was. [gasps]

1406
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,719
Not blaming anybody. I'm done with that.

1407
01:08:32,719 --> 01:08:34,400
I I think the people that know they did

1408
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,080
this know there they should be blamed

1409
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,000
for it. It's it's too late and it's over

1410
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:40,560
and done with. It is it is a problem

1411
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,560
product. You know, it does a cancerous

1412
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,839
agent in it. It's not good. But you I'm

1413
01:08:45,839 --> 01:08:48,640
going to quote you on this. 1% of the

1414
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,440
POS pollution worldwide is from

1415
01:08:51,440 --> 01:08:53,040
firefighting foam. So it it would have

1416
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:54,960
been insignificant to have this foam

1417
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,480
stay in service until something we can

1418
01:08:56,480 --> 01:08:58,319
be generated that's much better. We had

1419
01:08:58,319 --> 01:09:00,560
a foam unit come in from Orail yesterday

1420
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:02,159
and by the time they got in place and

1421
01:09:02,159 --> 01:09:04,239
ready to go, we already had the fire

1422
01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:06,000
curtailed at that point and the guys did

1423
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,040
uh to do. So

1424
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,400
>> Joe, is there new foam out? Do we have

1425
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:08,719
new foam?

1426
01:09:08,719 --> 01:09:10,880
>> New foam is tragic. It's it doesn't

1427
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,040
interface properly together, but it's

1428
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,319
something something's better than

1429
01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:16,799
nothing. And right now again, we've have

1430
01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:18,480
a tanker overturn town or a tanker

1431
01:09:18,480 --> 01:09:20,159
anywhere on the state county

1432
01:09:20,159 --> 01:09:21,839
jurisdiction and you have a fire with

1433
01:09:21,839 --> 01:09:24,400
it. I can only imagine a tanker on 208

1434
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:25,839
where you have gasoline pouring down on

1435
01:09:25,839 --> 01:09:27,279
the golf road. We would have a

1436
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,359
catastrophe that we would not be able

1437
01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:32,000
>> But you realize we can't do anything

1438
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:32,640
about it.

1439
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,960
>> No, I know what you guys have been doing

1440
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,359
is working. We're going to every council

1441
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:38,560
meeting with our chiefs are going to

1442
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:39,759
other council meetings saying the same

1443
01:09:39,759 --> 01:09:40,960
thing. We're asking you guys to get

1444
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:42,480
involved with it. And it's starting to

1445
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:44,080
work. starting to make its inroads

1446
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,239
further and further. I guess the county

1447
01:09:46,239 --> 01:09:47,440
is starting to do their their part of

1448
01:09:47,440 --> 01:09:48,640
it. Bergen County is doing the same

1449
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,159
thing. It's starting to make noise in

1450
01:09:50,159 --> 01:09:52,080
Trenton. That's where it has to happen.

1451
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:53,920
Yeah, that's all we can do. And I agree

1452
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:55,760
with you. That's all we can do. But we

1453
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,520
continue to bang the drum. Some

1454
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,360
>> people that made the foam decision think

1455
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,600
that galvanized pipe is the same as lead

1456
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,920
pipe. So Joe, they still make the foam

1457
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:04,159
though.

1458
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:06,960
>> You can't

1459
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,800
oil refineries can use foam all they

1460
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:11,120
want. Military foam foam they want. They

1461
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,320
can't leave the property,

1462
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:12,800
>> right?

1463
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,239
>> Cuz then who's responsible for cleaning

1464
01:10:14,239 --> 01:10:15,440
it up? Because there is a cleanup cost

1465
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:16,640
to it. And the barrel is not going to do

1466
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,800
that. Nor would they put us on it. The

1467
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,600
green foam has a minimal cleanup. But if

1468
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,840
we use that green foam yesterday at

1469
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,400
about $150 a five gallon pale,

1470
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:27,520
Horththorn and Tyra would have been on

1471
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:28,719
the hook for that money. They would have

1472
01:10:28,719 --> 01:10:30,159
been we'd have been going after them for

1473
01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:31,760
that money to re repurch that or

1474
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,760
reimburse that foam. So the

1475
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:35,760
consideration not to use it was at that

1476
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:37,520
point in time wasn't necessary. We were

1477
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,560
too far into the fire. But if we had it

1478
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,880
or a substitute for it much earlier in

1479
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,159
that fire within the hour, we would

1480
01:10:44,159 --> 01:10:45,760
introduce foam into that area where we

1481
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:47,040
couldn't get to the fire. We probably

1482
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:48,719
would have killed that fire a lot sooner

1483
01:10:48,719 --> 01:10:50,960
than when it was happened yesterday. So,

1484
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,040
it's I I don't think the outcome would

1485
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:54,159
have been much difference. The

1486
01:10:54,159 --> 01:10:55,280
building's an old building. It's a

1487
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,360
balloon in the frame.

1488
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,679
The fire load was uh I've not seen fire

1489
01:10:59,679 --> 01:11:01,920
load that intense in a long time in a

1490
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,640
barrel. So, we had 17-,900 degrees

1491
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,640
inside the first bay. So, we were losing

1492
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:07,920
control of that. we were going to lose a

1493
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:09,920
member if we continue to push. So that

1494
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,120
the objective was to get them out of

1495
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,760
there. And our guys did an amazing job.

1496
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,000
Most of our members were on scene. I

1497
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,840
think almost 95% of our firefighters

1498
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,800
were there. Uh tremendous mutually. We

1499
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:21,920
went to a fifth alarm. We haven't gone

1500
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,679
to a fifth alarm in Horththornne in many

1501
01:11:23,679 --> 01:11:24,880
years. The only reason we did that

1502
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,280
because of the labor. We had breach

1503
01:11:27,280 --> 01:11:29,280
concrete walls. These guys in 15

1504
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:30,960
minutes, they were ready to go home. Is

1505
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,199
this so we had multiple towns come in

1506
01:11:33,199 --> 01:11:34,640
and basically take turns doing that

1507
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,560
until we able to break open that side

1508
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:38,960
wall which is close to de carbone and

1509
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:40,560
get to the seat of fire. Once we got to

1510
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,760
the seat of fire, we started to

1511
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,280
extinguish that. At that point, it was

1512
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,280
already upstairs. It was too late. But

1513
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,040
our guys did a tremendous job. I I do

1514
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,239
want to thank the police department and

1515
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:51,760
the amore OEM or DPW is for has

1516
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,760
forgotten too. Bill understood we were

1517
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,280
running low on water and he had the

1518
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,719
water pressure boosted which took us

1519
01:11:56,719 --> 01:11:59,440
from 20 PSI to 60. That's a lot as you

1520
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:01,600
know. So everybody had a hand in this

1521
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,400
thing and it was it was well you know we

1522
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:05,679
just wonderful to work here with the

1523
01:12:05,679 --> 01:12:07,199
people we had. So I really do appreciate

1524
01:12:07,199 --> 01:12:09,120
it and your support is I'm hearing

1525
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,360
tonight is that's what it's about.

1526
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,679
>> Is it part of Rescue 5?

1527
01:12:13,679 --> 01:12:14,400
>> What's that

1528
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,199
>> the vehicle?

1529
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:17,199
>> Yes. Yeah. It's going to be a scientific

1530
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:18,800
house but we're going to have open

1531
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,640
training to everybody. The goal is

1532
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,120
training on this thing. So if we're

1533
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,159
already out in the road we need to

1534
01:12:24,159 --> 01:12:25,600
deploy this unit. We want it out there.

1535
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:26,800
Even while police officers are trained

1536
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,320
on it, the only prerequisite we're

1537
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:29,840
putting in place and we are doing it for

1538
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,320
FEMA is that swiftwater awareness course

1539
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,040
we ran for over 127 firefighters have

1540
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,239
attended it through not only

1541
01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:38,480
Horththornne some burn county towns,

1542
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:39,920
state county towns, we've shared this

1543
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,199
grant in in Holy and the reason being

1544
01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:44,560
we're doing that is FEMA is opening our

1545
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,159
eyes saying what are you doing? This is

1546
01:12:46,159 --> 01:12:47,760
fantastic. We've got that backup ready

1547
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,040
through our grant writer, which is our

1548
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,640
previous one that Horththornne is

1549
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,120
sharing their grant money to make this

1550
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,280
program work for not only their members,

1551
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:56,800
other members. And we're at the point

1552
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:58,880
now where we have well over 127

1553
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,880
firefighters throughout Bergen State

1554
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,480
County that are crossrained in swift

1555
01:13:02,480 --> 01:13:04,560
water. So if we had to use them in

1556
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,280
Horththornne for an issue and maybe

1557
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:08,800
Northale didn't have it, we could

1558
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,480
utilize the members that be crossrained

1559
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:11,920
with us. So that's the goal of this

1560
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,280
whole thing. Same thing with the

1561
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:14,480
vehicle. We want to make sure we have

1562
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:15,840
enough people trained in it. So, we have

1563
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,760
to mobilize it when we're already out.

1564
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,520
We can do that. We're not waiting for a

1565
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:20,960
person to come in. We don't have that

1566
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,440
time. The luxury is getting a vehicle

1567
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:25,760
moved. Typically, when we have severe

1568
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:27,199
flooding like we've had, we'll probably

1569
01:13:27,199 --> 01:13:28,719
stage the vehicle. We'll probably stage

1570
01:13:28,719 --> 01:13:30,000
it on the south end where it would be

1571
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,840
most utilized. Although,

1572
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,440
>> 208 seems to be the home run right now.

1573
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:35,840
208 seems to be We've had over 13

1574
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,360
rescues there. Yeah.

1575
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,800
>> So, do you have it in the bay or is it

1576
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,320
going to be in the covered open? Right

1577
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:41,520
now it's in the bay because we're you we

1578
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:42,960
know we're not moving until the

1579
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,580
resolution was complete and uh

1580
01:13:44,580 --> 01:13:47,189
[laughter]

1581
01:13:47,199 --> 01:13:49,360
once the tires change in next Tuesday

1582
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,199
it's scheduled to go to Glenrock. I

1583
01:13:51,199 --> 01:13:53,840
expect it'll be there a week, seven days

1584
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,199
and then it'll come back. We'll start

1585
01:13:55,199 --> 01:13:56,960
training as quickly as possible and get

1586
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:59,199
it on the road. So, god forbid we do

1587
01:13:59,199 --> 01:14:00,640
need it. We have it available.

1588
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:02,000
>> What we carry? What are you gonna carry

1589
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,120
on it?

1590
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:04,000
>> Not much.

1591
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:04,960
>> There's going to be a ladder on the

1592
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:06,560
back. They'll have a a mounted ladder

1593
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,320
that's also being donated to us where

1594
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:10,000
it'll actually drop into the frame.

1595
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,920
There's bench seats on top. You you can

1596
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,239
carry almost 28 30 people on that truck.

1597
01:14:14,239 --> 01:14:15,920
>> You can carry equipment in there. Like

1598
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:17,199
>> there'll be a Stokes basket and stuff

1599
01:14:17,199 --> 01:14:18,880
like that. The goal with this is to make

1600
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,400
sure we're bringing the right stuff to

1601
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,239
the victim in a car. After what happened

1602
01:14:22,239 --> 01:14:23,679
in Glenrock just recently where the

1603
01:14:23,679 --> 01:14:26,239
pastors were frozen in a car, they could

1604
01:14:26,239 --> 01:14:27,760
have drowned had the fire department not

1605
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:29,199
reacted as quick as they did there. They

1606
01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:32,000
were up to almost neck deep water frozen

1607
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,600
on a stairwell and the poor people were

1608
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,840
pretty much in a panic. That happens or

1609
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:37,199
they had a medical, you know, we don't

1610
01:14:37,199 --> 01:14:38,480
know. So, we're going to incorporate the

1611
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:40,960
emore with us when we deploy the

1612
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,320
vehicle, make sure when we get to the

1613
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,239
victim that they're safe, sound, and

1614
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:45,679
brought in. And if there is a medical

1615
01:14:45,679 --> 01:14:47,600
emergency, we can do the best we can to

1616
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:48,960
handle it before we can get them out of

1617
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,040
that water. Uh, and you're dealing with

1618
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:53,199
water that can be 48 degrees.

1619
01:14:53,199 --> 01:14:54,880
Hypothermia is a matter of minutes. So,

1620
01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:56,640
it's we're we're really going to make

1621
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,880
this an opportunity that we keep the

1622
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:00,640
vote

1623
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,480
safer as far as the members safer for

1624
01:15:02,480 --> 01:15:04,320
sure. So, but again, thanks for the

1625
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:05,360
support. We do appreciate it.

1626
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:06,400
>> Thank you for everything you've done.

1627
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:07,520
>> Thank you, Chief. Chief,

1628
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:08,239
>> well done, Chief.

1629
01:15:08,239 --> 01:15:10,480
>> Chief, don't go anywhere. I just wanted

1630
01:15:10,480 --> 01:15:12,800
to say thank you uh on behalf of the

1631
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,239
burrow for the job that you did

1632
01:15:16,239 --> 01:15:19,679
yesterday. It was not easy because I was

1633
01:15:19,679 --> 01:15:21,120
there and I was watching what you were

1634
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,800
doing. It was not easy to

1635
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,440
stage the vehicles, the firet trucks in

1636
01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:30,000
different parts of of the North A

1637
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,880
street, the uh restaurant parking lot,

1638
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,040
Gothal Road. It's not easy to do that

1639
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,719
and it's not easy to to draw water and

1640
01:15:40,719 --> 01:15:43,920
you did a great job and uh even to have

1641
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,840
the mutual aid companies come in and

1642
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,239
stage in our firehouses in case there

1643
01:15:50,239 --> 01:15:51,760
was another fire that came in.

1644
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,120
>> We actually had two

1645
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,239
>> and um

1646
01:15:54,239 --> 01:15:56,239
>> keep track too. How do you keep track of

1647
01:15:56,239 --> 01:15:56,640
them all?

1648
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,640
>> I just want to say thank you on behalf

1649
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,800
of the burrow for the job that you did

1650
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,120
and all the firemen that were there

1651
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:07,040
yesterday. Uh it was uh it it was very

1652
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:11,280
good because it was a very hot fire.

1653
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:12,640
>> Like I always said, the manager is

1654
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:13,840
always as good as his team. And if his

1655
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,040
team is good, then the manager looks

1656
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:16,480
good. I don't have to look good. They

1657
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:18,239
did they did a great job. Everybody that

1658
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:20,960
attended that fire, worked that fire,

1659
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:22,480
supported that fire, including county

1660
01:16:22,480 --> 01:16:24,560
rehab, our DP, again, our DPW police

1661
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:26,239
officers that evacuated the building

1662
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:28,080
prior to our trucks getting there. It It

1663
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,920
works. It works. This town's got some

1664
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:31,840
good stuff that happens to it and at the

1665
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:33,600
worst of times, sadly. But, you know, we

1666
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:34,400
do it. You know,

1667
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,719
>> the last time I can ever remember where

1668
01:16:36,719 --> 01:16:39,280
we had to have so many pieces of

1669
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:40,719
equipment in from so many different

1670
01:16:40,719 --> 01:16:43,360
towns was Morning Star Paisley.

1671
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:45,840
>> Five and 10.

1672
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:47,520
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's been

1673
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,199
>> And the only the state was there as

1674
01:16:49,199 --> 01:16:51,040
well. The reason fire showed up and I

1675
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:52,640
said, "We've never been to a fifth alarm

1676
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,400
under my jurisdiction." He said, "It's

1677
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:55,679
20 years." He goes, "Yeah." He said,

1678
01:16:55,679 --> 01:16:56,960
"Well, you better get used to it. With

1679
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,800
your lack of manpower, you're going you

1680
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:00,960
had a whole a whole alarm assignment

1681
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:02,239
that could not respond." And we had

1682
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:03,440
three towns that said they couldn't get

1683
01:17:03,440 --> 01:17:04,960
a truck in the road. So we went from

1684
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,440
fourth to fifth alarm. Truthfully, it's

1685
01:17:07,440 --> 01:17:09,199
a fourth alarm for coverage, third alarm

1686
01:17:09,199 --> 01:17:10,560
on scene, and this went from a fourth

1687
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:11,840
alarm on scene to a fifth alarm

1688
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,000
coverage. And unfortunately, we had them

1689
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,159
in place where we had uh reported

1690
01:17:16,159 --> 01:17:17,760
activated fire alarm in Glenrock that

1691
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,280
they had a cover and fourth alarm on

1692
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,760
Beverly Road. So it's like, yeah, you

1693
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,360
can't make it up. And unfortunately, we

1694
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:24,960
were back again last night. You know, I

1695
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:25,760
hate to do that.

1696
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:26,159
>> Yeah,

1697
01:17:26,159 --> 01:17:27,840
>> that happens. Uh they could not

1698
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:28,800
>> rekindled, right?

1699
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,080
>> Well, they couldn't get to where it was.

1700
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:31,360
burning up in the attic. the

1701
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:32,880
floor had already had compromised, had

1702
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:34,480
fallen into the first floor.

1703
01:17:34,480 --> 01:17:36,239
>> We decided to go out it with the aerial

1704
01:17:36,239 --> 01:17:38,000
and basically rip apart the roof and

1705
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,360
then put it down and just so we don't

1706
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:40,880
have to go back. It's it's we don't like

1707
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:42,880
to go back on rekindles. We take pride

1708
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:44,320
in that. So,

1709
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,800
>> but thank you guys. Thank you.

1710
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,560
>> I have like I have to say just I'm just

1711
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,520
a lay person. Everybody you you

1712
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,120
controlled everything and but that fire

1713
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,719
was under control within an hour. I know

1714
01:17:56,719 --> 01:17:58,719
it was Brad an hour, hour and a half. I

1715
01:17:58,719 --> 01:18:00,320
mean, I'm not saying it was out, but but

1716
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:01,920
everybody worked seamlessly and we know

1717
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,520
Matt Fankart did a lot of that work

1718
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,320
early on without the tools that he would

1719
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,400
have after a certain time. He was he did

1720
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,080
an outstanding job, but everybody did.

1721
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:11,920
So, we all Thank you. You, you know, I

1722
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,239
don't want to keep saying it, but thank

1723
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:16,640
you. And nobody, you know, nobody got

1724
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:16,880
hurt.

1725
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,719
>> Again, a good team behind me. I can't

1726
01:18:18,719 --> 01:18:19,440
complain. So,

1727
01:18:19,440 --> 01:18:22,320
>> well, look, there's money, Vinnie. We're

1728
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:31,910
going to get it for you. Goodbye.

1729
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,159
Good evening. I'm Jack Lure, 319 Van

1730
01:18:34,159 --> 01:18:37,360
Winkle Avenue. Um,

1731
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,400
I want to congratulate Chief Spiransa on

1732
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,480
getting this vehicle for the fire

1733
01:18:42,480 --> 01:18:45,120
department. When I saw in the agenda

1734
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,440
that we were going to be accepting a

1735
01:18:47,440 --> 01:18:50,960
military surplus vehicle, my heart went

1736
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:52,880
to my throat. I thought, "Oh dear, we're

1737
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,840
getting this mine resistant ambush

1738
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,000
protected thing that you requested back

1739
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,040
in December."

1740
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:00,560
>> Well, back then you stated we were

1741
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,960
turning into a military police state.

1742
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,960
>> I didn't say it exactly that way.

1743
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:06,800
>> Yes. Yes, you did.

1744
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:09,199
>> My concern is that it's militarizing the

1745
01:19:09,199 --> 01:19:11,120
policeing this.

1746
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:12,880
>> We told you it was for for swiftwater

1747
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:13,280
rescue.

1748
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,960
>> They would take the 50 caliber machine.

1749
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,360
>> Well, I read I read the resolution uh

1750
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,320
once I saw that it it was a deuce and a

1751
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,640
half. There was one of these military.

1752
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,520
It looks like a gigantic pickup truck

1753
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,120
dump truck. Really?

1754
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,760
>> Um that's perfectly what I think Chief

1755
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:31,920
Spiransa said to you last month when he

1756
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,719
was here. Uh my concern is that we might

1757
01:19:34,719 --> 01:19:36,320
still be getting this this other

1758
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:39,199
vehicle. As Chief Spiransa told you last

1759
01:19:39,199 --> 01:19:41,520
month, these are extremely expensive.

1760
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:42,880
There are two of them that are

1761
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:46,320
inoperable upount. Um the expenses

1762
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,159
involved in one of those. I hope that if

1763
01:19:48,159 --> 01:19:49,920
you get offered one, the council will

1764
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:50,560
say no.

1765
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,320
>> There's no reason for one now. So, I'll

1766
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:53,520
tell you right now, we're not.

1767
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:54,480
>> Excellent. I'm glad.

1768
01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:56,239
>> This is the thing we're really wanted.

1769
01:19:56,239 --> 01:19:58,159
The other one was a make do effort if we

1770
01:19:58,159 --> 01:19:59,040
could get it. Yeah.

1771
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,560
>> Obviously, we applied for the last six,

1772
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,080
seven years and

1773
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:03,600
>> never was selected.

1774
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,199
>> So, I was concerned about that. I'm

1775
01:20:05,199 --> 01:20:06,640
delighted. This is exactly what he was

1776
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,800
looking for. Has has done a fantastic

1777
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:09,360
job.

1778
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,120
>> Yes. The other issue I'd like to raise

1779
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:14,000
with you is that until recently it was

1780
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,400
possible to watch the council meetings

1781
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,360
on Facebook. That's no longer possible.

1782
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,159
Which means that I'm like the twothirds

1783
01:20:22,159 --> 01:20:24,480
of our country that uh don't have cable

1784
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:26,719
television at this point. I can't watch

1785
01:20:26,719 --> 01:20:30,080
the council meetings live. I have to

1786
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,719
wait until they get posted on on face on

1787
01:20:32,719 --> 01:20:34,159
YouTube.

1788
01:20:34,159 --> 01:20:36,080
I'd like to ask the council and the

1789
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,040
administration to consider going back to

1790
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,320
having Facebook live so that anyone in

1791
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,199
town and I assume about twothirds of the

1792
01:20:45,199 --> 01:20:47,600
town doesn't have access to the live

1793
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:50,800
feed. Otherwise, um you're really

1794
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,640
cutting off a big part of the community

1795
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,960
and not allowing them to to participate

1796
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,800
at least by viewing it live and having

1797
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,280
some sense of what's going on in town.

1798
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,199
Um they're going to miss announcements

1799
01:21:01,199 --> 01:21:04,080
of upcoming events. Um, it's it's a

1800
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,080
really important thing in my opinion.

1801
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,159
Please, if you would consider it doesn't

1802
01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:10,000
I don't believe it costs you a lot.

1803
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,000
>> Yeah, there was just technical issues.

1804
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:13,040
The clerk can give you

1805
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:15,199
>> So, please if you would consider um

1806
01:21:15,199 --> 01:21:17,199
putting back a live feed so that people

1807
01:21:17,199 --> 01:21:21,280
can watch Mr. Lord, I actually spoke

1808
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:23,600
with my clerk this afternoon. We were

1809
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,480
talking about this. Um, Facebook is an

1810
01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:29,040
unstable platform and not only is it

1811
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,440
unstable, but you have to have a

1812
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:33,679
Facebook account in order to watch the

1813
01:21:33,679 --> 01:21:37,440
live feed. Whereas with YouTube, if we

1814
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:40,239
start streaming it live on YouTube,

1815
01:21:40,239 --> 01:21:44,080
which is what we plan to do now, it it's

1816
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:45,600
web- based, you know what I mean? So,

1817
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,760
anybody, you don't need an account, they

1818
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:49,440
can watch it. So, that's going to open

1819
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:52,320
it up to everybody. Um, and we're we

1820
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,800
actually working today. We were actually

1821
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,560
working about trying to get that

1822
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,080
accomplished very shortly.

1823
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,320
>> I guess I call that a fantastic fast

1824
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:02,320
response. I asked for it and here it's

1825
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:03,040
already happening.

1826
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,320
>> So that'll accomplish the same thing.

1827
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,639
He's looking for a live feed versus the

1828
01:22:06,639 --> 01:22:08,719
>> a YouTube live would be great. And you

1829
01:22:08,719 --> 01:22:10,960
can also turn off the comments if you

1830
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,320
don't want to see what people have to

1831
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:14,159
say about the meetings. Thank you so

1832
01:22:14,159 --> 01:22:16,159
much.

1833
01:22:16,159 --> 01:22:18,080
>> Well, seeing as no one Well, anyone else

1834
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,080
wish to be heard? [laughter]

1835
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,080
>> Seeing no one, I entertain a motion to

1836
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:23,440
close the public. So move.

1837
01:22:23,440 --> 01:22:25,760
>> Motion by Sierra,

1838
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,480

1839
01:22:28,480 --> 01:22:30,159
>> I. Motion carries. Our next council

1840
01:22:30,159 --> 01:22:33,360
meeting is Wednesday, September 16 at 7

1841
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,360

1842
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:36,239

>> Motion by Scar. Second by Sasso. All in

>> Motion carries. We're adjourned.

1846
01:22:46,719 --> 01:22:49,120
» I wrote that down.

1847
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:53,080
Still think this is appeaseful.
