[1:30:35] which is a part large truck. We have people I know. And. Administration. I have sent
[1:30:36] truck. We have people I know. And. Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s
[1:30:36] We have people I know. And. Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s one, actually
[1:30:38] Administration. I have sent this to them. There’s one, actually there’s two or three, but the
[1:30:38] this to them. There’s one, actually there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking.
[1:30:40] one, actually there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running
[1:30:40] there’s two or three, but the one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their
[1:30:42] one that I’m talking. Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their house.
[1:30:43] Thinking of is they’re running a business out of their house. They have four different vans,
[1:30:44] a business out of their house. They have four different vans, vans do not qualify.
[1:30:48] house. They have four different vans, vans do not qualify. Because they’re underweight,
[1:30:48] They have four different vans, vans do not qualify. Because they’re underweight, they park the vehicles on the.
[1:30:54] Street the morning the workers
[1:30:55] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they
[1:30:57] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they move the van and then the
[1:30:58] Street the morning the workers come, they double park, they move the van and then the workers park there.
[1:30:58] come, they double park, they move the van and then the workers park there. So I think we really need to,
[1:30:59] move the van and then the workers park there. So I think we really need to, if you want.
[1:31:01] workers park there. So I think we really need to, if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home.
[1:31:04] So I think we really need to, if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is
[1:31:05] if you want. Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel.
[1:31:09] Work, bring your vehicle home. Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And
[1:31:10] Off street parking. This is we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And especially in areas
[1:31:10] we’re not reinventing the wheel. Other towns do this. And especially in areas where parking
[1:31:11] Other towns do this. And especially in areas where parking is a premium.
[1:31:12] especially in areas where parking is a premium. Imagine coming home.
[1:31:17] And having to go three blocks
[1:31:17] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking
[1:31:19] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking because somebody is using.
[1:31:20] And having to go three blocks or two blocks walking because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on
[1:31:20] or two blocks walking because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on that street.
[1:31:22] because somebody is using. Four or five parking spaces on that street. To run their business.
[1:31:25] Four or five parking spaces on that street. To run their business. I think it’s unfair to
[1:31:25] that street. To run their business. I think it’s unfair to the residents.
[1:31:28] To run their business. I think it’s unfair to the residents. Residents. And again, if they
[1:31:29] I think it’s unfair to the residents. Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then
[1:31:30] the residents. Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then rent.
[1:31:33] Residents. And again, if they have that many vehicles then rent. Space to park your vehicles.
[1:31:33] have that many vehicles then rent. Space to park your vehicles. It’s a cost of doing
[1:31:35] rent. Space to park your vehicles. It’s a cost of doing business.

[1:52:33] let’s go. My question is that when we get the yearly water report.
[1:52:36] My question is that when we get the yearly water report. It’s about the water and the
[1:52:37] when we get the yearly water report. It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming
[1:52:38] water report. It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming to our homes.
[1:52:39] It’s about the water and the reservoir as it’s coming to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes
[1:52:40] reservoir as it’s coming to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system,
[1:52:40] to our homes. Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system, which is old.
[1:52:41] Homes, but when the water goes through the pipe system, which is old. And cracked in parts.
[1:52:46] through the pipe system, which is old. And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues
[1:52:46] which is old. And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s
[1:52:48] And cracked in parts. And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic.
[1:52:52] And I know the major leagues get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my
[1:52:52] get fixed, but there’s many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not
[1:52:54] many, many microscopic. Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not the same purity as it is when
[1:52:54] Cracks in it, it gets to my home. It’s not the same purity as it is when it leaves.
[1:52:55] home. It’s not the same purity as it is when it leaves. Leaves the reservoir.
[1:52:58] the same purity as it is when it leaves. Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any
[1:52:59] it leaves. Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any data on different
[1:53:00] Leaves the reservoir. Are how can we don’t have any data on different points around town?
[1:53:01] Are how can we don’t have any data on different points around town? On what the water quality is.
[1:53:10] When you say we don’t have any
[1:53:10] When you say we don’t have any data on the
[1:53:11] When you say we don’t have any data on the water quality.
[1:53:14] When you say we don’t have any data on the water quality. There was a memo or a brochure
[1:53:15] data on the water quality. There was a memo or a brochure that went out.
[1:53:18] water quality. There was a memo or a brochure that went out. To every homeowner in the
[1:53:18] There was a memo or a brochure that went out. To every homeowner in the city, Clifton.
[1:53:20] that went out. To every homeowner in the city, Clifton. With reference to the test
[1:53:21] To every homeowner in the city, Clifton. With reference to the test results on all the border.
[1:53:27] And our water meets all of the
[1:53:28] And our water meets all of the requirements of the
[1:53:30] And our water meets all of the requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test
[1:53:30] And our water meets all of the requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir.
[1:53:32] requirements of the DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through
[1:53:32] DEP, but that’s the test results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through your pipes.
[1:53:33] results from the reservoir. Not after it goes through your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and
[1:53:33] Not after it goes through your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and my water.
[1:53:34] your pipes. Pipes because my pipes and my water. Is full of nitrate.
[1:53:39] And yet the report says there
[1:53:40] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates
[1:53:41] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming.
[1:53:43] And yet the report says there isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going
[1:53:44] isn’t. So the nitrates must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going through the pipes.
[1:53:48] must be becoming. Into the water as it’s going through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would
[1:53:49] Into the water as it’s going through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would like to see testing
[1:53:50] through the pipes. Well, okay. If so, I would like to see testing done throughout the city.

[1:53:53] like to see testing done throughout the city. At different spots. That takes into account.
[1:53:56] done throughout the city. At different spots. That takes into account. What happens as the pure water?
[1:53:59] At different spots. That takes into account. What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I
[1:54:00] That takes into account. What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is
[1:54:01] What happens as the pure water? Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is being.
[1:54:02] Goes through the pipes, cuz I think our water is being. Polluted as it goes through
[1:54:03] think our water is being. Polluted as it goes through the pipes.
[1:54:06] being. Polluted as it goes through the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves
[1:54:07] Polluted as it goes through the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the
[1:54:08] the pipes. Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure.
[1:54:09] Pipes. It’s not when it leaves you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the.
[1:54:12] you it’s through the antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the. Quantitative data because
[1:54:12] antiquated infrastructure. But we don’t have the. Quantitative data because we’re, unless.
[1:54:21] I take it upon myself, which I
[1:54:21] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test
[1:54:22] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a
[1:54:23] I take it upon myself, which I do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I
[1:54:25] do. I test my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you
[1:54:25] my water, but Hey, I’m a college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard
[1:54:26] college professor and I teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard for me.
[1:54:27] teach water chemistry. So you know, this isn’t so hard for me. But
[1:54:27] know, this isn’t so hard for me. But you know, I think we should do
[1:54:27] for me. But you know, I think we should do this at different
[1:54:28] But you know, I think we should do this at different spots in the city.
[1:54:30] you know, I think we should do this at different spots in the city. And find out what’s in
[1:54:30] this at different spots in the city. And find out what’s in the water.
[1:54:33] spots in the city. And find out what’s in the water. Okay, so I will definitely

[3:10:00] we put fuel cards on vehicles and boom. So didn’t even wanna have those discussions. They
[3:10:00] on vehicles and boom. So didn’t even wanna have those discussions. They were just,
[3:10:00] So didn’t even wanna have those discussions. They were just, would’ve spent the million
[3:10:01] those discussions. They were just, would’ve spent the million dollars, no discussion. It’s

[3:10:10] But we also have
[3:10:10] But we also have responsibility, right? We’re
[3:10:11] But we also have responsibility, right? We’re talking about the
[3:10:13] But we also have responsibility, right? We’re talking about the garbage contract going up by
[3:10:13] responsibility, right? We’re talking about the garbage contract going up by millions. We have medical costs.
[3:10:16] talking about the garbage contract going up by millions. We have medical costs. We have contract increases
[3:10:16] garbage contract going up by millions. We have medical costs. We have contract increases that we’re in the middle to
[3:10:18] millions. We have medical costs. We have contract increases that we’re in the middle to right now.
[3:10:22] We have contract increases that we’re in the middle to right now. That we have numbers that are
[3:10:22] that we’re in the middle to right now. That we have numbers that are all over the place.
[3:10:23] right now. That we have numbers that are all over the place. So we have, you know, all the
[3:10:24] That we have numbers that are all over the place. So we have, you know, all the regular costs of
[3:10:25] all over the place. So we have, you know, all the regular costs of operating government. So.
[3:10:27] So we have, you know, all the regular costs of operating government. So. Again, I, I know it’s.
[3:10:32] It’s political season and it’s
[3:10:33] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s
[3:10:34] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do
[3:10:34] It’s political season and it’s like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do that. And we all
[3:10:35] like, Ooh, you know, let’s give the sound bite to do that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a
[3:10:35] give the sound bite to do that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to
[3:10:37] that. And we all want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to do it.
[3:10:40] want to do it, but there’s a responsible way to do it. And that starts with waiting
[3:10:41] responsible way to do it. And that starts with waiting to see what our finances
[3:10:44] do it. And that starts with waiting to see what our finances are even gonna be in October
[3:10:44] And that starts with waiting to see what our finances are even gonna be in October and November for next
[3:10:47] to see what our finances are even gonna be in October and November for next year.
[3:10:47] are even gonna be in October and November for next year. And we, we added 15 police
[3:10:48] and November for next year. And we, we added 15 police officers last year in
[3:10:50] year. And we, we added 15 police officers last year in one shot.
[3:10:51] And we, we added 15 police officers last year in one shot. I mean on top of all the other
[3:10:51] officers last year in one shot. I mean on top of all the other costs of
[3:10:53] one shot. I mean on top of all the other costs of operating government.
[3:10:53] I mean on top of all the other costs of operating government. That was a huge
[3:10:55] costs of operating government. That was a huge amount of money.
[3:11:01] And, and tax increases on top
[3:11:01] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we
[3:11:02] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we had to do. So I think that.
[3:11:04] And, and tax increases on top of everything else we had to do. So I think that. They’re slow, steady one step
[3:11:05] of everything else we had to do. So I think that. They’re slow, steady one step at a time.
[3:11:12] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I
[3:11:13] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it
[3:11:14] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it it’s one of those questions
[3:11:14] Am I gonna be in favor? Like I said, it it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50
[3:11:15] said, it it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and
[3:11:16] it’s one of those questions who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when
[3:11:18] who wants to have 50 more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when it’s.
[3:11:21] more cops. That’s all fine and dandy, but not when it’s. You know, political season and
[3:11:21] dandy, but not when it’s. You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting
[3:11:24] it’s. You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so
[3:11:25] You know, political season and let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so we can have a
[3:11:26] let’s start, you know, putting all these things out there so we can have a headline and say, I wanted.
[3:11:27] all these things out there so we can have a headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know,
[3:11:28] we can have a headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know.
[3:11:30] headline and say, I wanted. More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m
[3:11:31] More cops or I, you know, for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible
[3:11:33] for people who know me know. That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible thing.
[3:11:33] That’s not how I operate. I’m gonna do the responsible thing. And I’m gonna wait for us
[3:11:34] gonna do the responsible thing. And I’m gonna wait for us to get.
[3:11:36] thing. And I’m gonna wait for us to get. Numbers back in the fall, we
[3:11:37] And I’m gonna wait for us to get. Numbers back in the fall, we have a new council
[3:11:38] to get. Numbers back in the fall, we have a new council coming in.
[3:11:39] Numbers back in the fall, we have a new council coming in. We couldn’t even actually
[3:11:41] have a new council coming in. We couldn’t even actually even if we did this right now.
[3:11:50] There’s no reason not to even
[3:11:51] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new
[3:11:51] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new council and, and the budget
[3:11:52] There’s no reason not to even wait for the new council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we
[3:11:53] wait for the new council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be
[3:11:54] council and, and the budget numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So
[3:11:56] numbers, because even if we hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So why should we take.
[3:11:56] hired them, it wouldn’t be until next year anyway. So why should we take. That away from not only the
[3:11:57] until next year anyway. So why should we take. That away from not only the new members.
[3:11:57] why should we take. That away from not only the new members. But seeing where all of these.
[3:12:00] That away from not only the new members. But seeing where all of these. Insurance medical pension
[3:12:01] new members. But seeing where all of these. Insurance medical pension increases. Sewer costs county.

[3:14:36] decide that we needed to. Expand the fire department. And what cost analysis did we
[3:14:38] to. Expand the fire department. And what cost analysis did we see to expand the
[3:14:38] Expand the fire department. And what cost analysis did we see to expand the fire department?
[3:14:43] Because it should be one set

[3:14:57] Perhaps it was in my packet and I didn’t see
[3:14:57] Perhaps it was in my packet and I didn’t see it, but if you can expand on
[3:14:58] Perhaps it was in my packet and I didn’t see it, but if you can expand on the cost analysis
[3:15:00] and I didn’t see it, but if you can expand on the cost analysis that you guys just described
[3:15:01] it, but if you can expand on the cost analysis that you guys just described for the fire department, I.
[3:15:03] the cost analysis that you guys just described for the fire department, I. Think that would be helpful.

[3:17:19] on our emergency services. Services or first responders. It also goes down to the school board.
[3:17:20] Services or first responders. It also goes down to the school board. And again,
[3:17:22] It also goes down to the school board. And again, I believe Gary.
[3:17:24] school board. And again, I believe Gary. There might be a new state.
[3:17:26] And again, I believe Gary. There might be a new state. That we can require.
[3:17:29] I believe Gary. There might be a new state. That we can require. Is it fire?
[3:17:33] There might be a new state. That we can require. Is it fire? Inspections once a year.
[3:17:33] That we can require. Is it fire? Inspections once a year. That’s correct.
[3:17:35] Is it fire? Inspections once a year. That’s correct. Okay, can you explain?
[3:17:43] And that’s a way we can’t just
[3:17:44] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and
[3:17:46] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and get and say, we need to
[3:17:46] And that’s a way we can’t just go in and get and say, we need to inspect your house once
[3:17:48] go in and get and say, we need to inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental.
[3:17:49] get and say, we need to inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I
[3:17:50] inspect your house once a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I think we can require that.
[3:17:52] a year. If it’s a rental. But with fire inspections, I think we can require that. Correct.
[3:17:53] But with fire inspections, I think we can require that. Correct. For rental properties, right.

[3:18:02] And we’ll give you a more detailed a memo on the issue. I don’t want to too much off the
[3:18:03] detailed a memo on the issue. I don’t want to too much off the hip, but you are correct so
[3:18:03] the issue. I don’t want to too much off the hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t
[3:18:05] much off the hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t allow.
[3:18:06] hip, but you are correct so that the state doesn’t allow. Mercantile licenses for
[3:18:08] that the state doesn’t allow. Mercantile licenses for year, round rentals, but they
[3:18:09] allow. Mercantile licenses for year, round rentals, but they do allow.
[3:18:16] For rentals inspections for
[3:18:16] For rentals inspections for fire inspections. And so
[3:18:17] For rentals inspections for fire inspections. And so those inspections

[3:18:21] fire inspections. And so those inspections can be done annually. And any rental property within.
[3:18:27] The city would then be subject
[3:18:28] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher
[3:18:30] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if,
[3:18:31] The city would then be subject to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being
[3:18:33] to a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being locked or independently,
[3:18:35] and smoke detectors. And if, if each door is being locked or independently, such as a single family home
[3:18:36] if each door is being locked or independently, such as a single family home with, with locks on
[3:18:37] locked or independently, such as a single family home with, with locks on each bedroom door. So that
[3:18:38] such as a single family home with, with locks on each bedroom door. So that would indicate that, that this

[3:23:57] housing as code is illegal housing. As fo of a fire. So each one will be.
[3:24:02] You know, definitionally, I
[3:24:02] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask
[3:24:04] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask which, which problem would
[3:24:05] You know, definitionally, I guess you would have to ask which, which problem would it be?
[3:24:07] guess you would have to ask which, which problem would it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire
[3:24:07] which, which problem would it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire does fire and code does
[3:24:10] it be? So zoning does zoning. Fire does fire and code does quality of life issues.
[3:24:15] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to
[3:24:16] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little
[3:24:18] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little better. If I call up and say,
[3:24:18] Issues. So, cuz I’m trying to understand this a little better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know
[3:24:19] understand this a little better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know that there’s an illegal
[3:24:20] better. If I call up and say, Hey, I know that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment
[3:24:20] Hey, I know that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment in my.
[3:24:22] that there’s an illegal apartment basement apartment in my. Neighborhood. And I give you
[3:24:22] apartment basement apartment in my. Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does
[3:24:24] in my. Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all
[3:24:25] Neighborhood. And I give you an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all three departments?
[3:24:29] an address. Who, who does that go to? Does it go to all three departments? That particular question would
[3:24:30] that go to? Does it go to all three departments? That particular question would probably go to zoning and start
[3:24:31] three departments? That particular question would probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what
[3:24:32] That particular question would probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint
[3:24:34] probably go to zoning and start to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint is.
[3:24:37] to be vetted as far as what the actual complaint is. If there’s a supporting
[3:24:38] the actual complaint is. If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a,
[3:24:39] is. If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a
[3:24:40] If there’s a supporting documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know,
[3:24:41] documents to it, was it a, a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes
[3:24:42] a reactive call? Was there a proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes a witness.
[3:24:42] proactive call? You know, once the caller becomes a witness. You know, that is then gleaned.
[3:24:48] From the intake and zoning,
[3:24:48] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then
[3:24:51] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the
[3:24:52] From the intake and zoning, and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the proper department.
[3:24:54] and then it’ll be, then it’ll be wheeled to the proper department. So then if I understand it
[3:24:55] it’ll be wheeled to the proper department. So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up
[3:24:56] proper department. So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up calling in this illegal
[3:24:56] So then if I understand it correctly, I wind up calling in this illegal basement apartment.
[3:25:02] That would go to the zoning
[3:25:02] That would go to the zoning department and then someone
[3:25:03] That would go to the zoning department and then someone from the zoning department
[3:25:04] That would go to the zoning department and then someone from the zoning department would go out and, and take
[3:25:06] department and then someone from the zoning department would go out and, and take a look at the.
[3:25:10] from the zoning department would go out and, and take a look at the. Situation what the actual
[3:25:11] would go out and, and take a look at the. Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I
[3:25:13] a look at the. Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the
[3:25:14] Situation what the actual procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but
[3:25:15] procedure is. Is I, again, I don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but they would start with that
[3:25:16] don’t want to give an off the hip answer, but they would start with that particular depart.
[3:25:17] hip answer, but they would start with that particular depart. Department, and then it would
[3:25:17] they would start with that particular depart. Department, and then it would be vetted and.
[3:25:18] particular depart. Department, and then it would be vetted and. And memorialized and it would
[3:25:19] Department, and then it would be vetted and. And memorialized and it would go through the process.
[3:25:25] All right, because I, I think,
[3:25:26] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate
[3:25:27] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having.
[3:25:28] All right, because I, I think, and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with
[3:25:28] and I can appreciate the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with the conversation
[3:25:29] the conversation we’re having. I, I agree with the conversation that we’re having, but I also
[3:25:30] I, I agree with the conversation that we’re having, but I also think that part of
[3:25:31] the conversation that we’re having, but I also think that part of the.
[3:25:31] that we’re having, but I also think that part of the. Issue is, I don’t know how
[3:25:31] think that part of the. Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do
[3:25:33] the. Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000.
[3:25:34] Issue is, I don’t know how many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many
[3:25:35] many residential properties do we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have?
[3:25:37] we have? Like 24,000. Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and
[3:25:38] Right. And how, how many zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and check these complaints.
[3:25:40] zoning officers do we have? To go and actually go and check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that
[3:25:40] To go and actually go and check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that that is a large part
[3:25:41] check these complaints. Complaints. And I think that that is a large part of our issue.
[3:25:48] And so now we’re talking about
[3:25:49] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where
[3:25:50] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where we’ve got people that are
[3:25:50] And so now we’re talking about expanding the program where we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night
[3:25:51] expanding the program where we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off
[3:25:51] we’ve got people that are gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are
[3:25:52] gonna go out at night and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are gonna go out during the day.
[3:25:52] and they’re gonna hand it off to people that are gonna go out during the day. But I think right
[3:25:53] to people that are gonna go out during the day. But I think right now, all we have.
[3:25:53] gonna go out during the day. But I think right now, all we have. Is people who can go out
[3:25:54] But I think right now, all we have. Is people who can go out during the day or.
[3:25:55] now, all we have. Is people who can go out during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night
[3:25:55] Is people who can go out during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night and then they’re not
[3:25:56] during the day or. They’re gonna go out at night and then they’re not gonna come in as comp time.
[3:26:01] You know the following day.
[3:26:01] You know the following day. And so I don’t think
[3:26:02] You know the following day. And so I don’t think that we have the
[3:26:02] You know the following day. And so I don’t think that we have the infrastructure in place from
[3:26:03] And so I don’t think that we have the infrastructure in place from a personnel
[3:26:04] that we have the infrastructure in place from a personnel perspective.
[3:26:04] infrastructure in place from a personnel perspective. To really be effective
[3:26:05] a personnel perspective. To really be effective with this.
[3:26:07] perspective. To really be effective with this. And ultimately I think that,
[3:26:08] To really be effective with this. And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need
[3:26:09] with this. And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need to invest.
[3:26:12] And ultimately I think that, you know, we’re gonna need to invest. In personnel in order to
[3:26:13] you know, we’re gonna need to invest. In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re
[3:26:14] to invest. In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is.
[3:26:15] In personnel in order to achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is. Because without it, it’s just
[3:26:16] achieve the goals that we’re talking about on this day is. Because without it, it’s just lip service.
[3:26:20] If, if we’ve got four people
[3:26:21] If, if we’ve got four people that have to cover
[3:26:22] If, if we’ve got four people that have to cover 11.3 square miles and 24,000.
[3:26:27] You know, properties to which
[3:26:28] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls
[3:26:29] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take
[3:26:30] You know, properties to which they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to
[3:26:31] they get a thousand calls in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to that thousandth call?
[3:26:31] in, how long’s it gonna take before they get to that thousandth call? And I think that that is the
[3:26:32] before they get to that thousandth call? And I think that that is the real issue that.
[3:26:33] that thousandth call? And I think that that is the real issue that. While these are all great ideas.
[3:26:40] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk
[3:26:40] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And
[3:26:43] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And if we don’t put into place the
[3:26:43] Ideas. It it’s almost all talk and no action. And if we don’t put into place the tools that we
[3:26:44] and no action. And if we don’t put into place the tools that we need to implement.
[3:26:44] if we don’t put into place the tools that we need to implement. The program then, then we’re
[3:26:45] tools that we need to implement. The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up
[3:26:45] need to implement. The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up for failure.
[3:26:49] The program then, then we’re setting ourselves up for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the
[3:26:49] setting ourselves up for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know
[3:26:51] for failure. And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re.
[3:26:52] And again, I, I appreciate the insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical.
[3:26:54] insight. I don’t know if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any
[3:26:55] if it’s the numbers that you’re. Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any stacked calls.
[3:26:58] Or rating or rhetorical. I don’t know if we have any stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls
[3:26:59] I don’t know if we have any stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls coming in that are
[3:27:01] stacked calls. That are a thousands of calls coming in that are not being addressed.
[3:27:03] That are a thousands of calls coming in that are not being addressed. There is the, there is a
[3:27:03] coming in that are not being addressed. There is the, there is a procedure internally and we
[3:27:06] not being addressed. There is the, there is a procedure internally and we are.
[3:27:06] There is the, there is a procedure internally and we are. Tightening that up relative
[3:27:06] procedure internally and we are. Tightening that up relative to the.
[3:27:12] Three or four different
[3:27:12] Three or four different entities that do inspections.

[3:41:30] those FEMA grants and those PSE new grants for that one, that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t
[3:41:31] new grants for that one, that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t have had a.
[3:41:32] that’s $3 million. That either a, we wouldn’t have had a. Bond and pay interest on over
[3:41:32] That either a, we wouldn’t have had a. Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B,
[3:41:34] have had a. Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B, we could have bonded that
[3:41:35] Bond and pay interest on over 30 years or B, we could have bonded that 3 million.
[3:41:37] 30 years or B, we could have bonded that 3 million. And when people like to
[3:41:38] we could have bonded that 3 million. And when people like to complain, we weren’t able to

[3:42:40] patted ourselves on the back about a $5 million grant for a parking garage. And what a great job.
[3:42:42] the back about a $5 million grant for a parking garage. And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And
[3:42:42] grant for a parking garage. And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and
[3:42:43] And what a great job. We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and make this presentation to us.
[3:42:44] We’re doing in Woohoo. And then they come in and make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh
[3:42:45] then they come in and make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied
[3:42:45] make this presentation to us. And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million.
[3:42:46] And then they said, oh yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made
[3:42:47] yeah, by the way, we applied for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the
[3:42:48] for 5 million. Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the house side.
[3:42:48] Dollars. And right now it made it through Congress, the house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know,
[3:42:51] it through Congress, the house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of
[3:42:52] house side. For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of a sudden went from 5 million
[3:42:53] For 1.8 million. So, you know, millions and millions. All of a sudden went from 5 million to 1.8 million.
[3:43:00] And it’s still gotta make it
[3:43:00] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So,
[3:43:01] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can
[3:43:02] And it’s still gotta make it through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So
[3:43:05] through the Senate. So, I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful
[3:43:05] I mean, conceivably, we can wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public.
[3:43:06] wind up with $0. So I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public. To, to kind of imply to them.
[3:43:07] I don’t think it it’s helpful to the public. To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning
[3:43:08] to the public. To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning lottery ticket.
[3:43:08] To, to kind of imply to them. That we bought the winning lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in
[3:43:09] That we bought the winning lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in New Jersey.
[3:43:10] lottery ticket. You know, particularly in, in New Jersey. Municipal government where
[3:43:11] You know, particularly in, in New Jersey. Municipal government where it’s a cash basis.
[3:43:13] New Jersey. Municipal government where it’s a cash basis. Accounting.
[3:43:21] So, yes, it’s great that we’re
[3:43:22] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and
[3:43:25] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a
[3:43:25] So, yes, it’s great that we’re applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic.
[3:43:26] applying for grants and listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic. Don’t get
[3:43:28] listen, $1.8 million in a grant would be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong.
[3:43:28] grant would be fantastic. Don’t get me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that,
[3:43:28] Don’t get me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that, you know,
[3:43:29] me wrong. But to, to kind of imply that, you know, we had a group in here saying,
[3:43:30] But to, to kind of imply that, you know, we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied
[3:43:30] you know, we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied for a 5 million grant. What a
[3:43:31] we had a group in here saying, yeah, we applied for a 5 million grant. What a great job we did.
[3:43:37] That then turned into 1.8
[3:43:37] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it
[3:43:39] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can
[3:43:40] That then turned into 1.8 million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being
[3:43:41] million and hasn’t even made it to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should
[3:43:42] to the Senate yet. And can conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should make promises to.
[3:43:43] conceivably end up being zero. I don’t think we should make promises to. The public that we may not
[3:43:44] zero. I don’t think we should make promises to. The public that we may not necessarily be able to
[3:43:45] make promises to. The public that we may not necessarily be able to keep.
[3:43:47] The public that we may not necessarily be able to keep. To my colleague, we never
[3:43:47] necessarily be able to keep. To my colleague, we never applied for those
[3:43:48] keep. To my colleague, we never applied for those grants before.
[3:43:49] To my colleague, we never applied for those grants before. So even if we only get
[3:43:50] applied for those grants before. So even if we only get 1.8 million.
[3:43:51] grants before. So even if we only get 1.8 million. You, we could have been
[3:43:51] So even if we only get 1.8 million. You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year.
[3:43:53] 1.8 million. You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never
[3:43:54] You, we could have been applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never even applied.
[3:43:56] applying for 5 million a year. For decades and we never even applied. We never even applied.
[3:43:59] For decades and we never even applied. We never even applied. So I’m gonna do my best, cuz it.
[3:44:04] Gets me mad on how many things
[3:44:05] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able
[3:44:06] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able to do in this town over
[3:44:07] Gets me mad on how many things we weren’t able to do in this town over the years.
[3:44:10] we weren’t able to do in this town over the years. But you can apply for those 5

[3:46:44] EV chargers. We have T H a, which is the, which is the surface parking, the 800 and some.
[3:46:46] which is the, which is the surface parking, the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also
[3:46:47] which is the surface parking, the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage.
[3:46:49] the 800 and some. Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so
[3:46:49] Odd spots. And then we also have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so next week’s presentation
[3:46:50] have park park vantage. Which will be presenting so next week’s presentation will be.
[3:46:56] Two of the three, because they
[3:46:56] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus.
[3:46:58] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add
[3:46:58] Two of the three, because they do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add 800 parking.
[3:47:01] do have a nexus. So if you’re going to add 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city
[3:47:01] So if you’re going to add 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna
[3:47:03] 800 parking. Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them.
[3:47:04] Spots in the, in the city lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them. And so that particular program
[3:47:04] lots, then you’re gonna need a way to enforce them. And so that particular program works hand in hand.
[3:47:12] With the 800 and some odd
[3:47:13] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want
[3:47:14] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and
[3:47:15] With the 800 and some odd spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able
[3:47:17] spots that you want to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of
[3:47:17] to, to, to capitalize on, and then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of it. So.
[3:47:18] then you’ll be able to have the enforcement end of it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been
[3:47:19] to have the enforcement end of it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the
[3:47:21] it. So. Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been
[3:47:21] Yes. So the, the we’ve been getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been putting together.
[3:47:23] getting the, the, the quotes and we’ve been putting together. How we’re going to digest it

[3:47:47] a bigger presentation. So we were waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional
[3:47:48] presentation. So we were waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional costs because there was
[3:47:49] waiting for pay vantage to. Memorialize some additional costs because there was really no.
[3:47:52] Memorialize some additional costs because there was really no. Need to present the proforma
[3:47:53] costs because there was really no. Need to present the proforma on the.
[3:47:55] really no. Need to present the proforma on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t
[3:47:56] Need to present the proforma on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t have a way to.
[3:47:57] on the. Surface parking. If we didn’t have a way to. Enforce the, the additional

[3:48:08] is, it is a work in progress and I’m hoping. That, that parking, which is one of the six PS
[3:48:10] work in progress and I’m hoping. That, that parking, which is one of the six PS will become part of the, the
[3:48:10] That, that parking, which is one of the six PS will become part of the, the revenue sources.

[3:49:24] And so it’s like the
[3:49:25] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you
[3:49:26] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill.
[3:49:29] And so it’s like the Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill. The, the, the ask was
[3:49:29] Councilman says, so if you have a $500,000 electric bill. The, the, the ask was to generate.
[3:49:33] $500,000 in savings for the,
[3:49:34] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program.
[3:49:36] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program. So.
[3:49:37] $500,000 in savings for the, for the, for the program. So. What you asked, I’m going to
[3:49:37] for the, for the program. So. What you asked, I’m going to see if it fits.
[3:49:45] In the 18th program, but I
[3:49:46] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to
[3:49:47] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I
[3:49:48] In the 18th program, but I don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it
[3:49:50] don’t want it to become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe
[3:49:50] become overwhelming. And I, I can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe the pro.
[3:49:51] can, I can give it to you as a cursory, maybe the pro. Proforma and you can start to
[3:49:52] to you as a cursory, maybe the pro. Proforma and you can start to digest it that way.
[3:49:54] the pro. Proforma and you can start to digest it that way. But it is kind of independent
[3:49:54] Proforma and you can start to digest it that way. But it is kind of independent of surface parking and
[3:49:57] digest it that way. But it is kind of independent of surface parking and pay vantage.
[3:49:58] But it is kind of independent of surface parking and pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can
[3:49:59] of surface parking and pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can schedule it for the
[3:50:00] pay vantage. So most likely maybe we can schedule it for the beginning of October.
[3:50:07] And then have those two parts
[3:50:07] And then have those two parts kind of independent and
[3:50:09] And then have those two parts kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back
[3:50:09] And then have those two parts kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they
[3:50:10] kind of independent and then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic.
[3:50:11] then you can merge ’em back together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic. The dramatically different in
[3:50:11] together. Yeah. But they were, they were dramatic. The dramatically different in its capacity.
[3:50:18] And so it didn’t really fit.
[3:50:19] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want
[3:50:19] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the
[3:50:20] And so it didn’t really fit. And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes,
[3:50:22] And I didn’t want to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings,
[3:50:22] to start to stretch the, the conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings, I would like to
[3:50:23] conversation. No, but yes, I would say over two meetings, I would like to do it. I, I would agree with
[3:50:23] I would say over two meetings, I would like to do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I.
[3:50:24] I would like to do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major
[3:50:25] do it. I, I would agree with your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re
[3:50:26] your assessment. I. Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are
[3:50:26] Mean, there are two major issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are independent. So.
[3:50:27] issues and yes, while they’re somewhat related, they are independent. So. If we were pulling to council,
[3:50:28] somewhat related, they are independent. So. If we were pulling to council, my preference would be.
