1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,500
I'd like to call tonight's regular meeting to order, please.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Yes, Director. We, um, I'm going to report the adequate notice that the meeting was provided in accordance with Chapter 231, public law 1975, that Senator Byron and Bear opened public meetings after.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It's time, like everyone, to take a moment to sign the meditation, followed by the flag-sweep by free order James Quinn.

4
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
All rise, please.

5
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:53,000
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

6
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Roll call, please.

00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000

18
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Here.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Director Dorell.

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Here.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
I'll entertain a motion to dispense with the reading of the minutes as public meeting.

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Second.

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Second.

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Second, all in favor.

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Aye.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Aye.

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Communications.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Yes, sir.

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
The communications are listed in your packet.

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:30,000
There's a note on the side also with the attachment and the information if you would like to review it first.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
I'll entertain a motion to receive the file.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Second.

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Second.

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
All in favor.

35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Aye.

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Aye.

37
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
I believe we have two presentations.

38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Yes, sir.

39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
First one is the Vinyl Salvation Army.

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Director, would you mind going out of order, I think?

41
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Is everybody here from the Salvation Army?

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
There's about five minutes left.

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
There's a few people who are not here yet for any time.

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
We're here.

45
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
We're here.

46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We're here.

47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Everybody's here?

48
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Yes.

49
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Okay.

50
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Very good.

51
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Sorry.

52
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Deputy Director Barber.

53
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Take over from here.

54
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Very good.

55
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
It's truly a pleasure for my friends.

56
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
We're going to come up here because now we've got...

57
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
We're going to turn this around for you on my board.

58
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Plus I have a handout explaining the turkey drive we have in mind.

59
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Okay.

60
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
We could do that.

61
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000
If I could have the members that are with you come up, please, also.

62
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Okay.

63
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:41,000
And in the meantime, I just wanted to say many of us are tied.

64
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Come on up.

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Come on up.

66
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Please come up and turn around and face the camera.

67
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Please come on this side and stand right here with me.

68
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Okay.

69
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
It's a little...

70
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
This is our first night back on TV, so we want to make sure we get everybody's pretty

71
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
faces along and handsome faces.

72
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Handsome faces.

73
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Yeah.

74
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It's truly a pleasure.

75
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
And I would also like to call for a word from over to you, sir, who also works tirelessly

76
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
in the same project.

77
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So I want to make sure she joins us to thank you for all your hard work.

78
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Gosh, you've got me burning.

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I remember when you were this big.

80
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I had a queen a long time ago.

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,000
But for me and for Feodor Musso, who you have honored as part of your helping team,

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
as helping hands, helping parts, I want to very much thank you personally for that.

83
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
But I'd also like to say that we here, the Cumberland County Board,

84
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000
chosen freeholders would like to present you with a proclamation.

85
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And I would really like to read it because it's important that you hear the message

86
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
from the freeholders.

87
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay.

88
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Whereas the Salvation Army has a distinguished history of helping the citizens of

89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Ireland in need.

90
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And whereas through the efforts of the Salvation Army, their volunteers,

91
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,000
local businesses and organizations, approximately 1,300 families were provided

92
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
with a turkey and canned goods to help them enjoy their Thanksgiving holiday.

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And whereas the Turkey Drive director, Stephen Plevins, and his committee

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
coordinated efforts.

95
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And whereas community group businesses helped to make the effort a success,

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
specifically the Greater Violin Chamber of Commerce, the Violin Rotary Club,

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000
the advisory board of the Violin Salvation Army, Major Moises Rivera,

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
and Major Jackie Rivera.

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,000
And over 25 volunteers and whereas the Batino family partnered to collect

100
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
turkeys at their Violin, Millville, Bridgestone Shopping locations

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000
and generously donated turkeys to the cause of feeding the needy in Cumberland County.

102
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Now, therefore, be it proclaimed by the board chosen freeholders of the County of Cumberland

103
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
as follows, that this board and all of our citizens, I'm having Matt,

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
hereby commend Steve Plevins and the Violin Salvation Army Turkey Drive committee,

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
the entire Violin Salvation Army, and as many volunteers and donors

106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
for all their good work, particularly with the 2019 Turkey Drive,

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
we recognize and sincerely thank you for your service and volunteerism.

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Thank you so much on behalf of all of you citizens.

109
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Thank you so much.

110
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Thank you very much.

111
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Thank you for being here.

112
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Thank you for being here.

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Thank you.

114
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And we can slide this way so we're out from in front of this.

115
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,000
That's true.

116
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Let me jump in the middle so I can get this right here.

117
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Are we good?

118
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
We're still standing here.

119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
There you go.

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Okay, my name is Steve Plevins.

121
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,640
I'm the Marketing Director for the Violent Salvation Army and we are really honored to

122
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,600
be here tonight and I want to thank you so much.

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,280
As you see, the committee that we have is a committee that we work for eight months.

124
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:05,220
For eight months, we called each other every day for eight months.

125
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:09,760
Some people almost got fired because of it, but we called each other and we all worked

126
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,880
hard on this and fed 1,300 families this year which was a major job.

127
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,000
We had about 25 volunteers.

128
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,560
It's all volunteer work.

129
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,840
It's all volunteer work.

130
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,800
This year turned out so better than last year.

131
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:36,280
So we have some incredible volunteers and there's just so much to say, but we definitely

132
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,440
looking forward to next year and with the committee I just want to real quick introduce

133
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,160
the members of the committee.

134
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,560
Allison Triverelli, can you stand up please?

135
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,560
She's from Sir Speedy and Violent.

136
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Michelle Lowe, she's Public Relations Board.

137
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,560
Minerva Alvarado, she's our Media Specialist.

138
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,560
She's doing her best in the county, I'll tell you, she's done a great job for us.

139
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,680
And the girls, you know, we have Riley Howerton right here.

140
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,680
She's the person who makes the kids work real hard with us and they're just really hard workers.

141
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,680
Also, Melissa Stiles, do you want to go?

142
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Madison, Madison.

143
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,680
Madison, I'm sorry.

144
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:41,800
And also Paul Thacker, who you know, Paul, he's been doing so many things.

145
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,800
And also Jason Sykes, Jason Sykes.

146
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,800
That's our team and if you want to get anything done, call me.

147
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800
With this team we can get anything done, I'll tell you how right now.

148
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Because we had to sign the people up.

149
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,800
1300 families, we had to sign them up and we had to distribute them.

150
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,800
And we got a freezer truck about a block long, the guy lent us the truck.

151
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,800
And so we got the turkeys, you know, we put them in that truck.

152
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,800
He gave it to us for four weeks, the truck.

153
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,800
And we just called the turkeys in the freezer truck.

154
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,800
So it was a lot of work and these guys did a great job.

155
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,800
And again, thank you for honoring us. We really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

156
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Thank you very much for what you're doing throughout the class.

157
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,800
We really appreciate it.

158
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:45,800
The turkey driver, like you say, it is a lot of work.

159
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,800
But it's rewarding in the end when you see people come and donate whatever they can.

160
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
You never know who's going to do it.

161
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800
It's really kind of a fun thing to be part of.

162
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
But it's a lot of work and you guys do a great job with it.

163
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,800
And keep it up because, like you said, it grows every year.

164
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,800
So keep it up.

165
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Okay, we have a second presentation for Alexander Craig Brown,

166
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,800
recognizing him as an Eagle Scout.

167
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800
And I'm going to call him a three-order Albright to make that presentation.

168
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,800
This is an honor to do this.

169
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,800
I got to be on an Eagle Scout.

170
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,800
The meeting to decide a person is worthy of being an Eagle Scout.

171
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800
And you learn a lot.

172
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,800
And you're like, man, whatever project you're like, man, how do they pull that off?

173
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,800
The stronger to be in it.

174
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,800
And I do want you to tell me about your Eagle project.

175
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Well, let me tell you a little bit about, you guys wouldn't mind a little bit about Alex.

176
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,800
And actually the parents want to step up, too.

177
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,800
That's what they are, always behind support.

178
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Alexander started the Scouting Adventure at the Vile and Pack 10 as a Wolf Scout.

179
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,800
He continued in Scouting and earned his hour of light in Pack 10.

180
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,800
When it was time to move into Boy Scouts to join Tucko's Troop 55.

181
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,800
And when the Weebloaded Den Chiefs moved on, Alexander volunteered to become one of the new Den Chiefs.

182
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,800
He served out of that position for two years.

183
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,800
He also served in five other positions, one being Senior Patrol Leader.

184
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Alexander continues to help with the Weebloaded Den.

185
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,800
That's what Boy Scouts says in it.

186
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800
It says it all right there.

187
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,800
Alexander spent two years working at Camp Roosevelt in the All the Way Township.

188
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800
His first year he was a Ranger, a Volunteer.

189
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
His second year he worked in the Nature Area.

190
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,800
He taught us Scouts from all over different nature and merit badges.

191
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,800
He did his Eagle Scout Project at the Cumberland Rifleman's in Millwood, New Jersey.

192
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,800
I want you to tell us more about that.

193
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,800
And currently, Alex is a junior at Millville Senior High.

194
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,800
And after graduation, Alexander plans to pursue a career movie and TV editing.

195
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Awesome.

196
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,800
So be watching.

197
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Alex's proud parents, even though they don't want to get up here right now.

198
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,800
It's Kim Carton.

199
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Mom.

200
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Kim.

201
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,800
She's work.

202
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,800
Tim Carton.

203
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,800
And alongside Craig Brown.

204
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,800
And Linda Brown.

205
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800
And all Millville.

206
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,800
Tim, do you guys want to get up?

207
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,800
I just, I like, I really, it's an honor to hear part of the project.

208
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,800
So the board, the freehold of board appreciates it.

209
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:45,800
My project was reforestation in an outdoor classroom to teach gun safety at Cumberland Rifleman.

210
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Really, I wanted to replant 50 trees there because there was a wildfire that happened there.

211
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:00,800
And I figured why not build an outdoor classroom there to teach cops and people that want to learn gun safety.

212
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800
And it was accessible to me.

213
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,800
It's good.

214
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Yes, it's great.

215
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,800
Thank you.

216
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,800
Oh, thank you.

217
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,800
Well, we're looking out for the two of you.

218
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,800
This is the freehold of the board.

219
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Watch him on this side so everyone can see.

220
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Alexander Craig Brown.

221
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,800
An honor recognition of achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.

222
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Boy Scout's highest honor.

223
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,800
The board congratulates you on this outstanding achievement.

224
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,800
And it's an honor.

225
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800
Thank you, sir.

226
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,800
See you next to him.

227
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800
Wait for the podium so we can get the photo.

228
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,800
I don't know if it's going to be over yet.

229
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800
I don't know if it's going to be over yet.

230
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Come on, come on.

231
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,800
We'll let the thing up between you, please.

232
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

233
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,800
Just keep it up there if it's over.

234
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:00,800
There you go.

235
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,800
There are some of that.

236
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:08,800
Great Scout.

237
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,800
Thank you.

238
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800
Thank you.

239
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,800
I can't work.

240
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,800
Scout's job is ever done.

241
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,800
That's great.

242
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,800
It's good to see you.

243
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,800
Alex, congratulations.

244
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,800
That's one of the highest honors that I know

245
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,800
that we recognize throughout your lifetime.

246
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Once you're Eagle Scout, it's a special club

247
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,800
and a special recognition for you

248
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,800
as well as your family and your parents

249
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,800
because we all know that it takes someone behind you

250
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800
to make sure you can accomplish what you need to do.

251
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,800
So congratulations to all of us.

252
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Listen, I look for big things for you in the future.

253
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Thank you, sir.

254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Nice job.

255
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Now to spare our two special groups there.

256
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,800
If you'd like to try to sneak out before we start.

257
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you all. It's good to see everybody again. Thank you for coming out.

258
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Oh, I did. I've been watching from a social media.

259
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Let's start at the end.

260
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:07,000
As you can see, we are now back. We're filming our meetings. We have tonight broadcast engineer Ryan Steinbrough.

261
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,000
I said that right. We're taking. Hopefully, next couple of meetings we'll have some students there.

262
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Moving forward, this will actually be aired on Comcast Channel 9, Fios 41.

263
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
So we'll confirm those dates and times as soon as we know. Thank you for being here.

264
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Hopefully, we'll be able to coach some of these students to be here so they get great experience.

265
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000
All right. Moving along, I'll entertain a motion to open up to public comment in regards to resolutions only.

266
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
So move. Second. Move in second. All in favor. Aye.

267
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Anyone wishing to address this in regards to resolutions, we're taking action on this evening.

268
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Please feel free to go to the microphone and state your name and try to leave your comments to approximately five minutes.

269
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Good evening.

270
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Happy New Year.

271
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Good evening.

272
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000
I'm Nancy Richquay of the Deerfield and Spiritfield Townships.

273
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
A lot on the agenda this evening.

274
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,000
The first resolution is Resolution 2020-59.

275
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,000
It's a resolution amending a resolution adopted August 11, 1960,

276
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
designating certain county roads as through streets.

277
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,000
We have two roads in here.

278
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:39,000
The first one is Fairton Holtown Road between Burlington Road.

279
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,000
And it's calling for a traffic signal.

280
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,000
I was out of planning for a meeting a few years ago and I think the study said a four-way stop.

281
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
The traffic signal is a traffic light.

282
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And the way I understand it, they call it electricity.

283
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Or more money.

284
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
John, is it a four-way stop?

285
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
It's a four-way, yeah.

286
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Well, this says traffic signal.

287
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
There will be a flashing.

288
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,000
And then on a south Woodruff Road between Irving and Lebanon Road.

289
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,000
It's calling for a traffic signal.

290
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Is that going to be a traffic light?

291
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
It's going to also be a flashing.

292
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,000
With a four-way stop?

293
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Yes.

294
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:48,000
We have Resolution 2020-69.

295
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Resolution of Memorial Fair and open contracts for providing, permitting,

296
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000
and design services for replacement of bridge with fields, mill roads,

297
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
and hands and rivers in the townships of Hopewell and Upper Gearfield.

298
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
This is going to ARH Associates.

299
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,000
And I have no confidence in the engineering firm.

300
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,000
We also have Resolution 2020-70, awarding a fair and open contract

301
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,000
for providing permitting and design services for replacement of structure

302
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:46,000
over the Cagansi River at Peaceburg Road in the townships of Hopewell and Upper Gearfield.

303
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,000
We also have Resolution 2020-71 awarding a fair and open contract

304
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
for providing permitting and design services for replacement of structure

305
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
at Chestnut Avenue over Panther Branch in the city of Liner.

306
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Now, these are three bridges that the county's son of built.

307
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Last year, he's done a bridge over Indian Fields Branch

308
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
on Burlington Road, and he really messed it up.

309
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
He dumped sand in the stream bed

310
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
and raised the bridge above the water level.

311
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,000
And I'm having with these three bridges that you're going to replace this year

312
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000
with the permitting that might be next year before you actually start to construction.

313
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Now, you do a better job.

314
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Thank you.

315
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Motion to close?

316
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Second.

317
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Move to second. All in favor?

318
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Aye.

319
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Aye.

320
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
All right, we're going to go through a review.

321
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Yes.

322
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
I believe we can group these, and then we'll have questions by freeholders after.

323
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Yes, Director.

324
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
If I can have a motion and a second, we can vote to group.

325
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:22,000
The board could vote to group resolutions 2020-46 up to and including resolution 2020-95.

326
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
So moved.

327
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Second.

328
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Move to second.

329
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,000
One second.

330
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Is that no procedure?

331
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
We usually can ball together.

332
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Yes.

333
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
We can if there is a bill we have to do.

334
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
And then we have discussion, and you can pull out any ones you don't want to vote on.

335
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And then we have discussion after which you can go through.

336
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And then we second the election.

337
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
That's fair.

338
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
All in favor?

339
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Aye.

340
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Second.

341
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Okay.

342
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Resolution 2020-46 is a resolution transferring 2019 appropriation reserves.

343
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Resolution 2020-47 is a resolution canceling expired contracts covering materials, services,

344
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
and supplies for January 2020.

345
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Resolution 2020-48 is authorizing the purchase from state contract vendors.

346
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:16,000

473
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Thank you. And one other, if I could get a little bit of an explanation, and I think I'm gonna be asking our administrator to see if she can get some assistance on this, this goes to 2020-53 on the contract for the public health, help me out with this one, I'm a little stuck.

474
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Megan, you wanna, thank you for coming. Good evening everyone. Good evening. Let everyone in here who you are. Megan Shepherd, I'm the Health Officer for the Cumberland County Health Department.

475
00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:01,000
So it would be 2020-53 and just the public health preparedness, right?

476
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:09,000
So basically, the process that we're looking to appoint someone, I'm just curious as to who you're getting.

477
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:20,000
We wrote a competitive grant to the Department of Health. They had 21 available grants. We partnered with the City of Ireland and it was to strengthen the local public health capacity.

478
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:35,000
So we thought it would be a good time to try to have consultants or not. One is maybe just going out to the consultant services until June 30th to test our RSS sites.

479
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:44,000
So we have to be prepared in public health emergency to receive shittings of medication from CDC to the state down to the counties.

480
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:51,000
So we have plans in place to do that. We have not tested that in quite some time. We have a lot of new staff. The City of Ireland has involved new staff.

481
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,000
So there's great money on the table. We said let's go after it. We're gonna try to hire a consultant who can actually put together an exercise.

482
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:04,000
It has to be, it's called key set compliance, just like through Homeland Security. So there's a lot involved in doing that.

483
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:21,000
So the consultant will be actually writing the plan, writing the exercise, doing the trainings with the staff as well as constructing the exercise and then doing the after action report with a gap analysis on how we can improve our plan if there's any improvement they say.

484
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Along with that funding, we asked for the consultant to review our official disease Ebola response plan. That's something that we developed during Ebola.

485
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,000
And we haven't really looked at it since, but we never had anybody give us feedback. It was something that the state kind of had asked us to do at the time.

486
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,000
And kind of just hanging out there. So what a perfect time to have somebody come in and look at it and we had to run a virus on that horizon.

487
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,000
So we're going to have to go through that plan for us and do another gap analysis on the plan.

488
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:55,000
And also we're hoping that they will be able to identify some pod sites. Our pods are called the points of distribution.

489
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:02,000
They're pretty much just clinics in our county that if we need to give out medication to the community, we utilize these pod sites.

490
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:08,000
So that was pretty much what we wrote for in agreement with the City of Island Health Department and we're awarded the grant.

491
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Very well explained. See what happens when you get on someone in the health board anymore, you get lost and you get bad questions.

492
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,000
I was a little confused when I was reading the resolution, Megan, and that's why I'm glad you're here to explain that.

493
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Thank you.

494
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
Any questions?

495
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Hey, how often does it have to be, what was the last time we did it? How often does it need to be done?

496
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Which part?

497
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
The response to the Ebola plan.

498
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
So we have something called the public health emergency response plan.

499
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,000
We like acronym public health, we call it FERF.

500
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
That is something that has to be done yearly.

501
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
This is something that was asked upon us when Ebola was happening.

502
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Every county put together a response plan along the side with the hospitals, EMS.

503
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
We worked with our sheriff's officers for security plans.

504
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
School?

505
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Yeah, schools.

506
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
So we put that together.

507
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
There's no requirement to update that at all.

508
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But we, it was named the Ebola plan, but we kind of said that's kind of named the infectious disease plan

509
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,000
and utilized it for anything that happens in our county.

510
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
So there's no requirement to update that.

511
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
But the FERF is kind of the larger response plan, and we look at that yearly.

512
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Any others, Sheila?

513
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Okay.

514
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Thanks, man.

515
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Welcome.

516
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Welcome.

517
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Thank you.

518
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Thank you.

519
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Thank you.

520
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Thank you.

521
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Thank you for saying family members.

522
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Thank you.

523
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
I'm going to get her out of here.

524
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Oh.

525
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Any others?

526
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I'm going to get you out of here.

527
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Yes.

528
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:41,000
The legal, at last week of the year when I was a lawyer, the legal service, I see all the major fill in now.

529
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:50,000
You have a point system that you set out in order to delegate what solicitors would put on the basis.

530
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
There's a scoring system.

531
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
And that's something you've developed at the time.

532
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:03,000
It's the same, we could use any scoring system we want to use with standard 1 through 100.

533
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
And that's the system that's used.

534
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Now, that scoring system gets, how often do you look at that?

535
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:18,000
How often do you review what you put, the year from now where we've got the same firms coming up?

536
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Do you say, listen, I've reviewed this and I'm not putting the same guy in place because they're not up to par.

537
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Do you look at, I mean, your own system, do you, or the legal system, or county legal system?

538
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I base my reviews on everything I know about everybody, including the work that they've done.

539
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,000
Okay.

540
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,000
So next year when we're looking at our, I'll turn to you and say, did they score?

541
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
You scored them an 80 pull meter and there's still an 80.

542
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
That's why you put them in there or not?

543
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
It's good.

544
00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Well, if it's a firm that's doing current work, then I'm going to look at what the work has been and the results have been and the price and the results and all sorts of things.

545
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Yes.

546
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:12,000
The reason why I bring it up is because I always get told that, you know, that they're the, I'm looking back on as a councilman that, you know, we had the best accounting firm that money could buy.

547
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
That was the best, the best, the best.

548
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Until finally they decided they're bringing somebody else and all of a sudden they became the best and they saved us money.

549
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,000
I say that if I was reviewing and looking, I'll trust your judgment.

550
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
I don't know any of these firms.

551
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,000
I don't know about that.

552
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000
I know some of them, but I don't really know them, but I'll rely on them next year.

553
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:39,000
You know, I would like to see you're going to come back and say, hey, this law firm was successful course.

554
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
It was great.

555
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
And I'm very happy with it for this reason.

556
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,000
I will ask that.

557
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Because I saw all their names were filled in.

558
00:38:50,000 --> 00:39:01,000
And I do, it's not the individual, but one thing concerns me that some are just seeing the list of the boards, that their terms on these boards some are five years.

559
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I know we ourselves have a three year term and it's a term, a rollover.

560
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
But why does any board have longer terms than the actual members of this body?

561
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:27,000
So let's say this year we put the gentleman on the CCIA and he has a five year term.

562
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:35,000
We forget me, but every member of this board may not have a necessary thing down the road.

563
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
They have input into that.

564
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
I don't know what the directors there.

565
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Those boards set their years, not us.

566
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Or by statute.

567
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:46,000
By statute.

568
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
And number two is they're staggered.

569
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
So every year you're looking at 24 people, so they roll appropriately.

570
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
So every board has a chance to take a look and change.

571
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000
According to just like on this board, not everybody goes away at the same time, so it's staggered.

572
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Okay, that's fine.

573
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000
I mean, in IE, what statute, their own statute, they've established, the statute established on the CCIA,

574
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:16,000
why did they establish their own, their statute says five years.

575
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,000
It's not their statute, the CCIA, it's a state statute.

576
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:25,000
State statute says that all improvement authorities have a five year term.

577
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Ordinarily, I'm going to check that specific one, because it's not statutory, it's in the final list.

578
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,000
I believe that in this particular instance as to improvement authority, without checking it,

579
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,000
I think it's because it's in the statute.

580
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,000
And, of course, it may or may not have to follow the statute.

581
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Well, some questions are autonomous, and they set their bylaws as they saw.

582
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Well, you don't have to control that.

583
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
I understand.

584
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,000
But we're appointing members to that board, and so that they're, we're appointing members.

585
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,000
This body's appointing members.

586
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
So we have to have some oversight of that board.

587
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
So they make all autonomous, all autonomous.

588
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
They still have to answer somewhat to this board.

589
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And to have a member chosen, and that's satisfying.

590
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
They'll work in another direction.

591
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000
But I know that we'll get legal support.

592
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,000
Well, let me finish my point.

593
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,000
So know that I'm distressing that any of our committee, it should be looked into

594
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:17,000
that our boards should be no more than three years,

595
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,000
at least a member, any member on this board,

596
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,000
and have at least another staggered,

597
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
but it should still have access or at least be able to change the direction of that board

598
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,000
or have some influence somewhere.

599
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,000
They still answer to the three years of board.

600
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:41,000
No matter if they're autonomous or not, they're still coming here.

601
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Could you look into it just to make sure that it's true?

602
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
You want to look at CCIA?

603
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Yes.

604
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,000
I think it's fine to be determined.

605
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
That's the why of that condition.

606
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,000
If that's the idea of the statute, then there'll be another direction.

607
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Well, what I'll do is I'll look at the CCIA and send you that,

608
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
and then you can take it from there.

609
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:00,000
I appreciate that.

610
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Thank you.

611
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Now I'm going to go with the member,

612
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000
because for your older cast and me,

613
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000
we're all in a conflict that, I'm sure,

614
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,000
it's a five-member board, if I'm correct, of CCIA, correct?

615
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Five-member board?

616
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Yes, sir.

617
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
If these stains are from the vote, it's a two-two.

618
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,000
It's a two-two.

619
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:37,000
There's no, there's no time breaker.

620
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
So, I mean, there, Mayor Kelly's a very,

621
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,000
there's more to qualify than seven boards.

622
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
I wish it was somebody, but bottom line is that he's,

623
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,000
if he abstains from a vote, that ends up as a problem

624
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
because you may need a three-two, some of the break that tie.

625
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
I don't know who breaks the tie now.

626
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
If it ever happens, it may never happen,

627
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,000
but so there is a kind of conflict.

628
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000
I'll just go even further and sit,

629
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
have an elected official sit on the board

630
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
that they're autonomous, sit on the board

631
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000
that oversees economic development throughout the county,

632
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,000
throughout the county.

633
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
So, if you have a member that represents a particular city,

634
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
just by looking at it, there's a conflict

635
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,000
just by how many projects are being pushed through the CCIA at this time.

636
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,000
So, I mean, again, Mayor Kelly's more than qualifying,

637
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:36,000
and it's really just that his title as a mayor

638
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,000
is a conflict by itself, not only of voting,

639
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
but by the projects that right now

640
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
the county is putting through that board.

641
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:49,000
So, it should be, you know, so I have a problem with that, so...

642
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Thank you.

643
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Any others, really?

644
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Any other questions or concerns?

645
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
I just wanted to call forward John Loup

646
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:14,000
just to review the three resolutions on the bridges

647
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,000
just to go over the projects.

648
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Sure, I know I have a lot of faith

649
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,000
and I know George was working on those projects

650
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,000
and Carol and Jim were there,

651
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,000
but, you know, I did have a question about the one

652
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,000
and you were able to answer, so...

653
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
They're very similar projects.

654
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000
The only difference between a bridge or a cauldron

655
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
is the length of the structure itself.

656
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
It's over 20 that is a bridge, like Beals Mill,

657
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
and we get qualified for the local first aid aid on bridges,

658
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
but unfortunately not on cauldrons.

659
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,000
What we're trying to do is get the design and permitting done

660
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,000
and when funding is either available through the bridge funding,

661
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
maybe through the state or by local bond,

662
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
then we're in a position to do it.

663
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
So, we picked similar...

664
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,000
All of our four structures that we have, and they're the ones that we're going to put into these three, or basically the ones that we chose.

665
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,000
What do you see as long the time that you're going to go?

666
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
It really depends on the permitting.

667
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:24,000
It really depends on the permitting. When we've had emergencies, like in Attica, Bridge, Culver, you know, they turn around the apartments.

668
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Actually, if you recall, we went to the public bid and did the prefab structure first.

669
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:39,000
But we were doing the design of permitting, so we had the structure ready to go when we got the permits.

670
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Permits are usually the wild card, they can take anywhere from six months to two years, and sometimes longer.

671
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:51,000
That's by municipality or by the state?

672
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,000
By the state, the DEP is usually the biggest lag time on that.

673
00:45:55,000 --> 00:46:07,000
So that's the wild card there, depending on if they find endangered species or critical habitat or get state historic preservation office involved.

674
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Like it done in Bridgeston, it can really lag some of the time.

675
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

676
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Before you sit down, I was amazed when I first, in 1983, I got followed works department.

677
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Tell everybody how many Bridges there are.

678
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Oh my God, Bridge.

679
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,000
And Culver.

680
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:31,000
Culver is 700.

681
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,000
Bridges, what were they meant about the Bridges?

682
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
I actually forget the numbers.

683
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
493.

684
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Culver?

685
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,000
540 miles a road.

686
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,000
The number of Bridges I have to get back to you.

687
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:57,000
I mean, I don't know, when we look at Bridges, look at the Marstown Bridge, that's a bridge.

688
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,000
I'm absolutely alarmed by it being bottled up.

689
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,000
It's right around 20 feet or more, it becomes a bridge.

690
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Even though it's just flat, it's top.

691
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:13,000
And we're actually in pretty good shape compared to other counties where there's a backlog for the bridge funding.

692
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,000
We're trying to progress the public where we're up to date.

693
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
It was an interesting speed in Bridges last night.

694
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
We were all in the South Jersey pre-order meeting.

695
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:31,000
K-Head County, it was a unbelievable amount of millions of dollars that they have to put aside for their Bridges, but they haven't.

696
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,000
They get a lot of the effort.

697
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:43,000
They supplement the funds, unlike the county, which is a good thing.

698
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,000
They use a lot of their tax dollars towards it, where we primarily use state agencies.

699
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,000
56 billion in rateables, we have 8.6 billion.

700
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Stay on topicals, I'm sorry.

701
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:04,000
The companies work hard for that.

702
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,000
You feel comfortable dealing with those companies?

703
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Yeah, they're very good companies, and we've worked with them before, yes.

704
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Are these companies, when you worked with them for a couple of years now?

705
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000
Actually, I worked with both companies over 20 years.

706
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
They've been here or with Nobel?

707
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Yes.

708
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Do you anticipate any, I mean, are you not really anticipating the issues with these Bridges?

709
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,000
They're pretty straightforward.

710
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000
They're particular parts of this project.

711
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,000
In every project you see, everybody, we don't anticipate major problems going in now.

712
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Do you, the Bridges, and I don't know if Ms. Bridges would mention it,

713
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:56,000
is there any issue with that Bridges we should know about, that it's being dealt with,

714
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,000
or is it the county's deal with it?

715
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
It's an accounting project, first off.

716
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
The Brownington Road Bridge?

717
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Yeah, the, I don't know, the street.

718
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,000
I know, coming out of Irving, it's the first street you hit.

719
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
The recent one, they've been down, they checked our elevations,

720
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:23,000
they permitted our design, they've checked our elevations for free, the pre-existing to post,

721
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,000
after we built the bridge, and we've checked them.

722
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,000
I don't see the differences that's been mentioned.

723
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:35,000
And where does DEP, because they came down at the request of Ms. Ridgway?

724
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Okay, just an example, one, not that this project has,

725
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:47,000
on Amman Street, Amman Road, Violent, Amman and Orchard,

726
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:53,000
they built the road up, the, I remember being contacted by the neighbors,

727
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,000
the water would run into their yard, heavy.

728
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,000
I mean, I'm literally heavy, talking about a lake out in front of it.

729
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,000
No one would, everybody knew there was a problem,

730
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,000
but no one would admit or do something about it.

731
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:12,000
In this instance, you basically, you've done, you've gone out there at different times,

732
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:16,000
and you've seen, you've looked at it, and you just said that DEP's looked at it.

733
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,000
So far, it meets the standards of what we've done,

734
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
that everything was done.

735
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,000
Yes.

736
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Okay.

737
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Yes.

738
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
And you've been out there, all kinds of what, like, I understand,

739
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
but it's still in the ring, I think, with even different projects.

740
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
So have you been out there?

741
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
I don't know what the issue is, so I'm just bringing it up.

742
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,000
I mean, the water levels, you know, last year were relatively high,

743
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,000
but we've had two wet years, and so far it's been...

744
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Every once in a while, did you check on it, did you go by it,

745
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
did somebody in your staff in the office, anyone?

746
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,000
I mean, we were checking on it very regularly there.

747
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,000
You know, when it was just completed,

748
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
and when the complaints were made not as often recently.

749
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,000
I'll tell you, good questions, but he's got a whole list of things,

750
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,000
so you might want to review that.

751
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Okay.

752
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Yeah.

753
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,000
So we'll throw in things.

754
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,000
I appreciate that.

755
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000
I'll pass the answer.

756
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Sure.

757
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Thank you.

758
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Yeah.

759
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Thanks.

760
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,000
We've got a motion and a second.

761
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Okay.

762
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,000
All right.

763
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Are we doing...

764
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Thank you.

765
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Director, are we voting on all at the same time?

766
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,000
We do.

767
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
We do.

768
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,000
If you'd like, you know, we vote on all.

769
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Once that's why we do a consensus thing,

770
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,000
if there's something you want to pull out of that one,

771
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,000
I don't know if you want to review that.

772
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,000
The one I'm explaining, the 59, 20, 20, 59,

773
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:44,000
just that one for the two reasons I talked about,

774
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,000
so we'll pull it out.

775
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:46,000
I appreciate that.

776
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:47,000
You abstain?

777
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:48,000
I abstain.

778
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
But no.

779
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,000
You'll abstain.

780
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,000
That's exactly it.

781
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:52,000
If you have a list of complaints,

782
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,000
we'll catch somebody in the office,

783
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,000
and we can't pull out the list,

784
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,000
and we'll read it then.

785
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Okay.

786
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
So we'll just say thank you in 20.

787
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,000
Okay.

788
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,000
You got a real office resolution on the first thing.

789
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,000
That's 20, 20, 59, designating certain county roads

790
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,000
as three streets.

791
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,000
No.

792
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
So we're all on the end of 20.

793
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
It's the one with the...

794
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,000
C.C.I.A?

795
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Yeah.

796
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,000
C.C.I.A for the term, for the reason it was a term.

797
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Okay.

798
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
And also...

799
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,000
C.C.I.A.

800
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,000
...the current conflict.

801
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Got it.

802
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Sorry about that.

803
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,000
That's okay.

804
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Just a fortnight, make sure you have a great one.

805
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,000
No, that's fine.

806
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Okay.

807
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
So we have a motion and a second on the floor.

808
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,000
We'll go ahead and do the roll call.

809
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Free Holder Albrecht?

810
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Yes.

811
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Okay.

812
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Except for 20, 2086.

813
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,000
Okay.

814
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,000
Free Holder Castellini?

815
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Yes.

816
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Free Holder Amuso?

817
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,000
Yes.

818
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,000
Free Holder Quinn?

819
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Yes.

820
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Free Holder Sorensi?

821
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Yes.

822
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Deputy Director Barber?

823
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,000
Yes.

824
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Director Guerrero?

825
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Yes.

826
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Chair, you're up.

827
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:48,000
I'm up.

828
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,000
If people do your finance,

829
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,000
I'd probably just like to welcome,

830
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,000
not to Gorski.

831
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,000
We have a lot of planes coming up for the future.

832
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,000
He has a very great plan for the planning department.

833
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,000
I'm very pleased to be part of that.

834
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,000
Thank you.

835
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,000
Thank you very much.

836
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,000
Thank you very much.

837
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,000
On our cash report,

838
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
we started the month of December with 35 million,

839
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,000
698, 713,

840
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
and the receipts of 5 million,

841
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,000
149, 147.

842
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,000
And this person is a 12,400,000,

843
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,000
340,000,

844
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,000
340,000,

845
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:24,000
340,000,

846
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,000
340,000,

847
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,000
340,000,

848
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,000
340,000,

849
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,000
340,000,

850
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,000
340,000,

851
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,000
340,000,

852
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,000
340,000,

853
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,000
340,000,

854
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,000
340,000,

855
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,000
340,000,

856
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
340,000,

857
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,000
340,000,

858
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,000
340,000,

859
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,000
340,000,

860
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
340,000,

861
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,000
340,000,

862
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:41,000
340,000,

863
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:42,000
340,000,

864
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:43,000
340,000,

865
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,000
340,000,

866
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
340,000,

867
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
340,000,

868
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
340,000,

869
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,000
340,000,

870
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,000
340,000,

871
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000
340,000,

872
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,000
340,000,

873
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,000
340,000,

874
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,000
340,000,

875
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,000
340,000,

876
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,000
340,000,

877
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,000
340,000,

878
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,000
340,000,

879
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,000
340,000,

880
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:59,000
340,000,

881
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,000
340,000,

882
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:01,000
340,000,

883
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,000
340,000,

884
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:09,000
That's the unaudited financial statements for the county of Cumberland.

885
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:15,000
There's section off by fund, maybe a little easier to follow,

886
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:21,000
what I realized after I printed them, just a mistake of my part.

887
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:28,000
The schedules that are landscape printed on a portrait and came across long and narrow.

888
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:32,000
So you need good eyes for some of those.

889
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,000
A little correction.

890
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:42,000
I sent everyone a PDF so you can look at the PDF in a lot better context.

891
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000
You open the PDF on a phone.

892
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:53,000
I need an immediate person to help me print this.

893
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:59,000
But anyway, they are the unaudited, our auditors have started this week with their outside offices

894
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:05,000
and told me now they have the schedules and the vaporations to get movement on that.

895
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Any questions on Treasury report?

896
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:19,000
Last week, Director Durrell said that we have kept a neutral borrowing,

897
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:25,000
I may not say right, a neutral revenue neutral or a borrowing.

898
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:34,000
But has we, in the budget, has our rental cost gone up in my budget and where is it on the internet?

899
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Is there any property we pay rent to?

900
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:51,000
We were paying rent at Fort Nars, we purchased that property.

901
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Is there any other property we don't know that we pay unaware of any other property?

902
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,000
We used to do social services.

903
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:09,000
We bought that building six years ago.

904
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:15,000
I'm not aware of any buildings that were renting, but these are financial statements,

905
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,000
they're not going to go into the detail of listing every contract.

906
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,000
It's fine, but there is a really hard item that's in here.

907
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:30,000
There's a limo for building some grounds, and there's not going to be an itemization of what,

908
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
so if I have a special building of grounds, I would say absolutely a breakdown.

909
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Absolutely.

910
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Okay.

911
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:45,000
I'll move to Treasury report.

912
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,000
I'll second.

913
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000
Moved and second. All in favor?

914
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,000
Aye.

915
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Aye.

916
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Opposed?

917
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
Any comments?

918
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
For approval reports?

919
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Any dates or anything?

920
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Director, I wanted to mention that Saturday, February 1st,

921
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:07,000
do you want to say something about that, please?

922
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:20,000
This Saturday, February 1st, is February 1st,

923
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,000
is the Eagle Festival being held at the Marstown Fire Hall.

924
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,000
It is open from 8 to 4 p.m.

925
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:34,000
And that day, we have viewing sites along the bay for viewing eagles

926
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
with volunteers from Audubon and Citizens United.

927
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
And then we have speakers in the Fire Hall with exhibitors,

928
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,000
live raptors, kids' activities.

929
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,000
It's just a full day.

930
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
There are trail walks throughout the day,

931
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:57,000
so you could come multiple times and not catch everything.

932
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,000
You have to decide.

933
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Do you want to see this speaker and then go on this trail walk

934
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:05,000
or do this trail walk and this speaker and go out to this viewing site?

935
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
So it's a full day of activity.

936
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Matt, just the weather's bad.

937
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
Is it still on?

938
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
It's still on unless there's a blizzard.

939
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:18,000
And I checked.

940
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,000
I think it's going to be 40 degrees or thereabouts,

941
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,000
maybe a little overcast, but we should be fine.

942
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,000
It should be good eagle weather.

943
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,000
It should be good eagle weather.

944
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,000
That's right.

945
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000
There's also a number of vendors that are there.

946
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,000
You can go and take a look at it.

947
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
There's a couple of wildlife photographers there.

948
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
It has some really interesting and unique work.

949
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
There's a lot of informative tables in regards to various agencies

950
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,000
about the state that deal not just with eagles,

951
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
but also all of the kind of wildlife as far as

952
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,000
forestry preservation and things like that.

953
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
So I've been down in our last five or six years.

954
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,000
It is interesting.

955
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,000
It's a fun day.

956
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Yeah.

957
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,000
What's a typical trail walk?

958
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Two hours long.

959
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
They run about an hour, 40 minutes to an hour.

960
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,000
Yeah.

961
00:58:58,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Great.

962
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Great.

963
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,000
Thank you.

964
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,000
Thanks Matt.

965
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,000
Any other comments from anyone?

966
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,000
Yes.

967
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Just to mention, I probably went through the numbers,

968
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
but the library said the project is coming along.

969
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
They're, I don't know, I'm learning the timeframe,

970
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,000
but they've gotten most of their funds.

971
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,000
They're probably going to come to the free water board

972
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,000
with support board if we haven't provided support already.

973
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,000
They have mostly ducks in a row.

974
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
It'd be interesting that once they,

975
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:34,000
I don't know if they've made a pitch of what they've done.

976
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000
But when they're done, kind of outline what they outlined

977
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
and how these libraries are going to be reshaped

978
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,000
and formatted better to meet the needs of going forward

979
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:44,000
in the future.

980
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:48,000
And it's going to be one of the big things that go down

981
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,000
is the prisoners that reintroduce themselves

982
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,000
into the world.

983
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,000
The library is going to play a kind of a role

984
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
in helping them move forward.

985
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
And also,

986
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,000
They do have another children's focal point allowing their patient to kind of be more accessible.

987
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000
I hope I'm saying all this right because I had to do it real quick.

988
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:15,000
You guys know what I'm sorry about, right?

989
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:20,000
And the second, the historical side, do you want to add anything to them?

990
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:26,000
I guess not. With the application period coming up on, it's going to be, I believe, March 3rd through April 3rd.

991
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:33,000
It's coming, so you don't know if you can ask more details on it.

992
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:40,000
The historical side, they're actually planning, Jack, I hope I got the number you were there longer than I was,

993
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:46,000
with a $2 million expansion to it that they raised, they're going to raise all privately.

994
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:51,000
I apologize, I was late to Jack.

995
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Well, we got two meetings based on what you said.

996
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,000
I left so I can get down to that.

997
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Jack called me for that one. They seemed very highly organized when I was there and it's really neat what they described.

998
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:11,000
You guys, again, probably more familiar than I am with the historical side of their operation.

999
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:20,000
I would kind of say the Board of the Direct Commission, which there's four openings on that commission.

1000
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:28,000
I have some names, I hope Jack has some names that they said they want to rejuvenate, re-invigorate that board.

1001
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:36,000
I hopefully come up with some names and pull it together and make that thing start to move forward.

1002
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:42,000
It'll be on their mat, so if you look in the future, we'll be getting more names with that.

1003
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Just have resumes, would be great.

1004
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,000
Yeah, not a bad stuff.

1005
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:50,000
People already asked them, let's wait for any confirmation.

1006
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
I found you two guys for some recommendations.

1007
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Also, like the time I would ask, and I talked to Joe about,

1008
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,000
there's renewed interest and Joe knows more than anything about the 9-1 center.

1009
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:10,000
I would request that the Board, this Board write a letter to our representatives.

1010
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,000
Good.

1011
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
So the box out there is going to be excellent.

1012
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:20,000
The reality is that our 9-1-1 center is going to kind of strap us a little bit for the next two years.

1013
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:26,000
And we have our senate and assembly ones I know, and I know we have another district on the other side.

1014
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,000
We're hitting both of them, correct?

1015
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Yes.

1016
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,000
We'll see letters to both legislative districts as well, where hopefully people will know

1017
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,000
and try to understand that our one center is going to cost the two years of capital improvements.

1018
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,000
The funding is going to go towards it, which is going to, I think,

1019
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,000
and probably what you guys know, that it probably handicaps us a little bit and it shouldn't.

1020
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:54,000
It should actually be, this is exactly what we all pay, all of us pay here,

1021
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:00,000
to do just that upgrade 9-1-1 communication.

1022
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000
And of course the state of New Jersey sucks that up.

1023
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Isn't that something you've been talking about?

1024
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:10,000
Yeah, 90% of the nice 90 cents that is on our telephone bills

1025
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:20,000
is supposed to go directly to municipalities and counties to upgrade their 9-1-1 communication facilities.

1026
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,000
New Jersey is the biggest culprit of doing that.

1027
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:30,000
They've redirected $1.2 billion, which is about $120 million per year.

1028
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,000
They have been audited by the FCC.

1029
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,000
I got the correct term there for the federal government.

1030
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,000
They are in the gray area where they send their funds.

1031
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,000
About 10% is used.

1032
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:48,000
That 10% of the 90 they divert in 100% comes in.

1033
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
90% is averted for the general budget.

1034
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:54,000
10% actually goes to something that actually services 9-1 communications.

1035
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:59,000
But the communications that that services is the backbone of the state of New Jersey,

1036
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:06,000
which is still run on copper and everything is particularly outdated.

1037
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:14,000
So some more wealthier counties have basically sidestepped that

1038
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000
because they have a lot more money to pull from.

1039
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,000
We unfortunately don't have that.

1040
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:23,000
There were two resolutions put on by our new legislative team,

1041
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,000
Senator Tested, in regards to pretty much commanding

1042
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,000
that the money being put back in the way it should be.

1043
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:33,000
I know that's been introduced in the past and did not move.

1044
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
There's a second one from NJAC that's been proposed that says,

1045
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,000
look, we've got $120 million coming in every year.

1046
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,000
Why don't you divert a percentage of that,

1047
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:46,000
whether it would be $30, $40, $50 million to go to each county,

1048
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,000
or not to go to each county,

1049
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,000
but divvied up to $2 or $3 million for each county and moved forward from that.

1050
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,000
The solution that came out of one committee was,

1051
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,000
we've had nine more cents on to the bill, which is absurd.

1052
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,000
So again, NJAC has been very vocal.

1053
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Saptors and Feelers have been very vocal.

1054
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Our legislative teams have only been very vocal.

1055
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
So we'll see what this ends up,

1056
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,000
but we did get some significant traction

1057
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,000
in a press conference last Friday in Trenton,

1058
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000
well attended by the press

1059
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,000
and very well attended by state legislators

1060
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:19,000
as well as freeholders from all of the state of New Jersey.

1061
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,000
So we'll be able in a couple of times to do this again

1062
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
and show it to not only us,

1063
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,000
but other freeholder boards out of all states.

1064
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,000
Appreciate it.

1065
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Thank you. Are there comments?

1066
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
I have one that I'm going to ask you to make,

1067
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,000
because you know more about this project than I do,

1068
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,000
which is what the prosecutor's office is doing,

1069
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,000
or you mentioned it last night at the meeting

1070
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,000
of the Child Advocacy Program.

1071
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,000
I think that's a great event.

1072
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,000
I'd like to get it out to the public so that they know what's going on.

1073
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
It's a prize of prosecutors, unfortunately, she was here

1074
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,000
because they've done a tremendous job

1075
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,000
and have listened to her call back a little bit as well.

1076
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,000
You were all there.

1077
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,000
NJAC was there for the opening of the new Child Advocacy Facility

1078
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,000
and it's basically a child payment.

1079
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:07,000
It's set up to meet the needs of a child

1080
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,000
who's going through some trauma,

1081
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,000
significant trauma that they need to have a safe place to go

1082
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,000
and all those interviews have occurred

1083
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,000
and all these things, but when you go in there,

1084
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,000
it's beautifully laid out with murals that were painted by children,

1085
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000
by students.

1086
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,000
The furniture is all their size, my size.

1087
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,000
That kind of works.

1088
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,000
Thanks to Jimmy and yours group for not mistaking,

1089
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,000
they made a nice little courtroom.

1090
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,000
It's their size so that they can be exposed to that

1091
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,000
so they're not intimidating when they're put in that kind of situation.

1092
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:43,000
The interview rooms are all set up for children

1093
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,000
so that they can feel comfortable as through their family.

1094
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,000
We've done a great job moving forward with that

1095
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,000
and I've got to give those to the prosecutor,

1096
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000
to the police department, to Jimmy and you and John.

1097
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,000
All the work that went into that, it really,

1098
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,000
it's going to be effective listening to the experts

1099
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,000
to have the interview and deal with those kind of situations.

1100
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,000
They are ecstatic that they have a place now

1101
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,000
where they can really be able to make that,

1102
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,000
they can feel comfortable and be able to do what they need to do

1103
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
to try to make sure they make their way through the process.

1104
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Did I cover it okay?

1105
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Thank you, director.

1106
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:25,000
I have to talk to our solicitor about,

1107
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,000
since we've had the college, we've been in Bridgeton,

1108
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,000
we've taken over our community college,

1109
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,000
we're always moving.

1110
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,000
The idea that the county should be open

1111
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,000
and we talked about how,

1112
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,000
so I just want to let the board know about interns,

1113
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,000
allowing more interns to work

1114
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,000
and our, with our county, our professionals.

1115
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,000
We've published some procedures that just talked,

1116
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,000
just generalities, but I think I'm just saying it out loud

1117
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,000
that it should be something that should be encouraged

1118
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:03,000
because we have a lot of skill that could be provided to us

1119
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,000
and whatever comes up with a lot of skill provided to us

1120
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,000
to help our professionals do greater things.

1121
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,000
So I'm just throwing that out there.

1122
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Thank you.

1123
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,000
We've had this question about that,

1124
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,000
and I think you had some professionals here

1125
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,000
this past couple of years.

1126
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Yeah, I was going to say because I know when my twins went to college,

1127
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,000
they actually did internship with the County Postal Securities Office.

1128
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,000
So they did it for I think six or seven weeks.

1129
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,000
There's some reschedulers for that.

1130
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,000
So when we talked about where they're at,

1131
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,000
I'll wrap it up and I'll talk about it today,

1132
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
we're going to be trying to set up a procedure and a program

1133
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,000
with the requirements we need to meet in order to do it

1134
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
without running a follow-up waiting hour.

1135
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,000
So we're going to try to firm this up

1136
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,000
so that we can present it then in a while.

1137
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,000
With all due respect, one more thing.

1138
01:08:55,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Just to say that our director is now a member

1139
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
of the State Board of Directors

1140
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:07,000
and we'll be going up the stairs to the New Jersey Association

1141
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,000
Accounts President in the future.

1142
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:13,000
So along with Kim Wood and I,

1143
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
we had the opportunity to be there.

1144
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:20,000
We were swearing in this morning by Senator Testa

1145
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,000
and it was a very nice day in Trenton and congratulations.

1146
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:27,000
And we look forward to having more representation from the south.

1147
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,000
We have two officers from the south now saying our director

1148
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,000
will fight very hard for coming up.

1149
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,000
President Murray Hayes, free order out of Capeman County.

1150
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,000
And we also have pre-order lucid now.

1151
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,000
What's president, correct?

1152
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:43,000
South Jersey Freedom Association.

1153
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,000
So we continue to try to stay active

1154
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,000
and represent our county in southern New Jersey

1155
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,000
for the best of our ability.

1156
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,000
And that's it.

1157
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,000
I'll entertain a motion to open up the public comment

1158
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,000
for a new business.

1159
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,000
So moved.

1160
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Second.

1161
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,000
Second.

1162
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,000
All in favor.

1163
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,000
Aye.

1164
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,000
We want you to address the pre-order board

1165
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,000
for some new business pretending to come to the county.

1166
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Feel free to move to the microphone and state your name

1167
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
and try to leave your comments to approximately five minutes.

1168
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Good evening.

1169
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,000
I'm Nancy Ridgeway from Upper Deerfield

1170
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,000
and Fairfield Townships.

1171
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:23,000
I want to start by talking about a public notice

1172
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:26,000
that was advertised in the newspaper.

1173
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,000
It was in November.

1174
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
And it was from the Mosquito Control Commission.

1175
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,000
And we're going to be doing a project.

1176
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,000
And we're going to be cleaning out a stream

1177
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:47,000
of bare-branch between Beechwood Drive,

1178
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Brewster Road, Vandus Avenue,

1179
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
and Eastwood Drive and vinyl.

1180
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:55,000
We're going to be using heavy equipment and manual labor.

1181
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:01,000
And they have, in their legal ad,

1182
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,000
all of the latin blocks that might be affected

1183
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,000
by this stream cleaning.

1184
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:14,000
And you flooded my property

1185
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,000
and I wasn't notified that I was going to get flooded.

1186
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:21,000
And I want you to know tonight that I'm still being flooded.

1187
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:26,000
One inch of rain just streams over fans.

1188
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,000
I'm flooded.

1189
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,000
I don't get an alert from the National Weather Service

1190
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,000
that a small stream is flooding.

1191
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Can you tell me you've done everything right?

1192
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:43,000
I went in at the bridge.

1193
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:48,000
I went in the water at the bridge.

1194
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,000
And I know it's not right.

1195
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:03,000
So, it brings me to the reorganization.

1196
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,000
January the 2nd.

1197
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,000
I got sworn in.

1198
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
Took you to the office.

1199
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Very nice presentation.

1200
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:17,000
And I was very disappointed with something that happened

1201
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,000
in that courtroom

1202
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:25,000
by one of the officials from the Democratic Party.

1203
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,000
At the beginning of the meeting,

1204
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Ms. Wood said, everybody, please take your seats.

1205
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:38,000
You had seats reserved for family members

1206
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,000
in front of the courtroom.

1207
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,000
I did not see no other seats reserved.

1208
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:48,000
I did not see any signs on the wall

1209
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:51,000
saying that the D's sit on this side

1210
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,000
and the R's sit on that side.

1211
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,000
After you're elected,

1212
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:59,000
I believe politics is over with.

1213
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,000
You said that you're going to do it

1214
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:04,000
under the authority of the people.

1215
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
You didn't say the Democrats.

1216
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,000
You didn't say the Republicans.

1217
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:14,000
See, someone came into that courtroom late with a lady.

1218
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,000
And the lady took a seat

1219
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,000
on the road that I was sitting on.

1220
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,000
The gentleman went on the other side of the courtroom.

1221
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:25,000
A few minutes passed,

1222
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
and the gentleman came back over.

1223
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,000
One of your officials

1224
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
told the lady,

1225
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:36,000
you're sitting on the wrong side.

1226
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Well,

1227
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,000
I didn't know there was a right side and the wrong side.

1228
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,000
And I was offended.

1229
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Personally.

1230
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:58,000
I don't think this board acts like that.

1231
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
I really don't.

1232
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:07,000
So when you have your next Democratic Committee meeting,

1233
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,000
I want you to bring it up.

1234
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Please address.

1235
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Please.

1236
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,000
I don't ever want to be in a courtroom again.

1237
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,000
And here's somebody tell another person

1238
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
you're sitting on the wrong side.

1239
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,000
So,

1240
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
you took your oath of office

1241
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,000
and you said that you were going to serve the public.

1242
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
That's your position.

1243
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:46,000
November the 26th, 2019,

1244
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,000
passed the resolution in 2019,

1245
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,000
678th.

1246
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Given yourselves a $7,000 adjustment

1247
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,000
for the salaries starting January 1st.

1248
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:13,000
And we're going to get yearly adjustments every year. That was a pretty big percentage increase.

1249
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:25,000
The president of the CCIA, he got a 12% raise. That wasn't too bad. I think he'd done better than 12%, because it's almost 50%.

1250
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:32,000
And I'd like to know what your annual increase is going to be.

1251
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Because I know a few years ago, some of the officials got $500 at the end of the year.

1252
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:47,000
So are you going to be getting a raise of $500 every year, or is it going to be 2%, 1%? What kind of percentage?

1253
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Correct, but typically, 1% raise is 2%.

1254
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Thank you, $500, that's what we get.

1255
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Thank you.

1256
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Do you want me to make a sheet of clothes?

1257
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Second.

1258
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,000
So we'll close, all in favor?

1259
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Aye.

1260
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Yeah, sure, I would be happy to.

1261
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Yes, I sat on the pre-order board in 1993, or 83, as when I was first elected.

1262
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:37,000
And what had happened over that period of time, in 1989, I was the director of the board.

1263
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,000
We were at $15,000.

1264
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:47,000
And also, ladies and gentlemen, at that time, every member of that pre-order board received full family benefits.

1265
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:56,000
So what ended up happening somewhere between the time I got off in 1991, and when I came back on, the benefits were done away with.

1266
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:03,000
And the benefits today for the family plan are at least $25,000, I believe, in that neighborhood.

1267
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,000
And that's only because we went to the Omni program.

1268
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:17,000
So the board, actually, when I got on, when I was on in 1991, I was receiving compensation then for medical, family medical.

1269
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,000
I googled, it was about $5,000.

1270
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:27,000
So in 1991, I was receiving, as were all the other free-holders, compensation of $20,000.

1271
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:35,000
And as I say, sometime in the early 2000s, the board decided they wanted to do away with family medical, which was fine, I understand that.

1272
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:45,000
My argument has been, for 30 years, 30 years, this board has received not one dime, and it went backward $5,000.

1273
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,000
So to say it's $22,000, yeah, it is.

1274
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:57,000
But if you take $22,000 over 30 years, the increase was really only $2,000, because I received compensation in 1991 at $20,000.

1275
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:06,000
So $2,000 in 30 years, and let me tell you, all of these free-holders work very, very hard, and we put a lot of time and effort into it.

1276
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,000
But it's not so much us.

1277
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:17,000
It's what is the position worth, what this entire free-holder board, any free-holders, should be making in compensation.

1278
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,000
And that, I think, is very fair.

1279
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:26,000
And yes, it looks like a big raise, but if you listen to what I just said to you, it's peanuts over 30 years period of time.

1280
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Any other?

1281
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Not, we have no executive session tonight?

1282
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,000
No, sir.

1283
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Any motion to adjourn?

1284
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,000
Second.

1285
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,000
Second.

1286
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:41,000
All in favor?

1287
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,000
Aye.

1288
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Anybody opposed to that?

1289
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,000
Thank you.

1290
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,000
Thank you.

1291
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,000
Thank you.
