This is an ordinance authorizing the sale of Township and Land for block 653.6 known as 69 00:02:56,730 --> 00:03:02,050 C&M Avenue and Block 660, Block 14 known as Washington Avenue. 70 00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:06,830 So if you're looking at a map and you're trying to find C&M Avenue or Washington Avenue, 71 00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:10,510 you're not going to get into the middle of the woods, but we did put those on there for 72 00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:14,530 transparency reasons because if you really want to try to find the blocking lot numbers 73 00:03:14,530 --> 00:03:16,850 or list of here, I'll tell you where these properties are. 74 00:03:17,470 --> 00:03:23,730 They are ready to cross Pomona Road from Stockton University, kind of between Moss Mill 75 00:03:23,730 --> 00:03:28,430 road and lie big in that area there's a bunch of county on land they can't 76 00:03:28,430 --> 00:03:33,730 require a bunch of parcels of land in there previously and over the past 77 00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:37,230 a couple of years we acquired some additional parcels through tax sales and 78 00:03:37,230 --> 00:03:41,010 foreclosures and whatnot and additional land had come back to the township and 79 00:03:41,010 --> 00:03:45,730 now the county's approached us and wants to have that to be contiguous. What's the 80 00:03:45,730 --> 00:03:51,490 name of that park there? Something Park West, Galway Park West, or maybe a much 81 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:56,950 the name of the park, but they're required to acquire so much coverage in open space due 82 00:03:56,950 --> 00:04:04,330 to the widening of the parkway. It's a wide range of the node-c properties. This helps them 83 00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:12,410 meet that obligation. They still have the rule of fire, and just to be clear, these are 12,000 square 84 00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:19,190 foot lots. They are completely unbuildable in a five acre minimum zoning. They have no sewer, 85 00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:25,990 no improved roads as you had mentioned and in appraisal was done, the county had an appraisal 86 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:34,310 done and that's the value of the selling price. So the county is a purchaser and we mostly acquired 87 00:04:34,310 --> 00:04:42,230 these lots through tax sale foreclosure, what not. This is a first reading for this so it won't be open 88 00:04:42,230 --> 00:04:47,330 to public yet but we will have an opportunity for a public to have comments on this at the second 89 00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:53,190 But for now, any questions or comments from Council on 21.5? 90 00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:56,570 Hearing none. 91 00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:58,790 Do I have a motion to move forward? 92 00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:00,370 Motion? 93 00:05:01,330 --> 00:05:01,610 Second. 94 00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:03,010 Roll past this. 95 00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:04,410 Madam? 96 00:05:04,710 --> 00:05:04,890 Yes. 97 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:05,470 Blue? 98 00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:05,930 Yes. 99 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:06,690 The future? 100 00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:07,330 Yes. 101 00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:08,110 Jordan? 102 00:05:08,470 --> 00:05:08,610 Yes. 103 00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:09,430 Moomar? 104 00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:09,790 Yes. 105 00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:10,470 Opponent? 106 00:05:11,150 --> 00:05:11,470 Yes. 107 00:05:11,470 --> 00:05:19,350 Next, let's move on to, actually, 2021-56, I think I'm going to have the deputy mayor's 108 00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:25,570 officer, Mr. Counselor, this property, although I have no financial interest in it, was once 109 00:05:25,570 --> 00:05:32,110 owned by a family member of mine, so that we sold it years ago, but there's a development 110 00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:32,390 on that. 111 00:05:32,550 --> 00:05:35,270 It's now up for discussion on pilot. 112 00:05:35,530 --> 00:05:39,490 I think I should, I haven't been involved in any of the discussions all the way, and I think 113 00:05:39,490 --> 00:05:41,230 or should probably have stayed from this vote. 114 00:05:41,610 --> 00:05:43,510 You can, but I think a little bit of a recommend. 115 00:05:43,750 --> 00:05:46,570 This is for, this is for, see it, that's good. 116 00:05:46,810 --> 00:05:48,410 All right, so we're gonna let this deputy mayor 117 00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:49,670 take over $21.56. 118 00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:51,510 Okay, Kelly, $21.56. 119 00:05:51,730 --> 00:05:53,930 Sure, this ordinance is authorizing amending 120 00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:55,950 the financial agreement for the pilot 121 00:05:55,950 --> 00:06:00,530 with JW Living Smithville, Irving, Renewal, LLC. 122 00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:03,950 Chris, can you give us a brief description 123 00:06:03,950 --> 00:06:05,470 on that submission of what's going on? 124 00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:09,030 Absolutely, so this is a lot across the street 125 00:06:09,030 --> 00:06:17,850 from Smithville and we refer to it as the JW Living Smithville Urban Renewals. 126 00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:23,290 They operate, I believe, this original healthcare, so it does get a little bit confusing. 127 00:06:23,910 --> 00:06:34,010 They have a pilot on the improvements that was previously approved as per the agreement 128 00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:37,030 as it stands before this potential amendment, 129 00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:40,790 they're supposed to basically pre-pay the year 130 00:06:41,570 --> 00:06:45,510 and that has been a problem. 131 00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:50,410 Basically, their projections show that they were gonna make 132 00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:54,450 X amount of money, they did not meet the projections 133 00:06:54,450 --> 00:06:56,830 because we opened the building in phases 134 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:59,790 that allowed them to start operating sooner, 135 00:07:00,690 --> 00:07:02,510 but clearly because they were operating 136 00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:11,170 at partial capacity because we opened in phases, they never met the projections. So the 137 00:07:11,170 --> 00:07:16,830 way the contract structure requires them to basically pay based on what the projections 138 00:07:16,830 --> 00:07:21,650 were. And then the following year you would have to reimburse them to difference or they 139 00:07:21,650 --> 00:07:29,070 would pay the difference if they overperformed their revenues. So basically they would have 140 00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:32,750 to pay us four times for us to then turn around and reimburse them and then the current 141 00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:40,170 so it made the billing really difficult to do. So this amendment is going to streamline 142 00:07:40,170 --> 00:07:50,850 the billing, make it based on actual revenues. We've agreed to a period of time where they 143 00:07:50,850 --> 00:07:55,870 would make those first year payments based on their actual revenues.

287 00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,520 332, this is a little bit of unique one 288 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:29,060 because there's a house on, there's a house on Zantis, there's a house on Zantis that was essentially kind of a bandit, it's got to be all the roof, the kids were in there, 289 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:47,540 pantheizing it, the neighbors of the complaining of road and infestation around the area, squatters, we live it in there, there's a fire there, but one time it was probably, we approached the owner on several different cases to remedy it, and pretty much to no avail, so we're going to move forward with actually. 290 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:53,740 That demolition of the house and for the neighbors of just up and arms about this. 291 00:14:54,740 --> 00:14:59,340 So there's obviously there's a legal process and he will just demo all this. 292 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:28,340 As had a whole new roof from a fire for over 10 years, the water infiltration has rendered the house unusable and it can't be prepared. So our construction official testified to that. The solicitor ran this legal process and we've exhausted all measures. We did wait until November so that we can budget transfer money into this line. 293 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,880 I believe $30,000 to tear this house down. 294 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:40,000 There will be a exterminator that does work first. 295 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,380 In case there's an infestation of rats or mice in the house 296 00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:46,740 so that when we tear it down, it does not affect the neighbors. 297 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,580 At least to mitigate any of that from happening. 298 00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:54,800 This will tear the house down, remove all of the materials 299 00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:56,700 and render the property safe. 300 00:15:56,940 --> 00:15:58,520 Because right now it's an unsafe structure 301 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,520 needs to be thrown down. We haven't done many of these in Galilee or the nine years I've been 302 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:12,940 manager. We've started this legal process before and that legal process has caused the property 303 00:16:12,940 --> 00:16:18,880 owners for the previous properties that we've done to remedy the situation. Unfortunately this 304 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:28,080 hasn't done that. Taxes are current. So the process will be after we award after we pass this 305 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,000 resolution, we'll report a contract with the purchase order. They'll start doing the work, 306 00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:38,100 particularly the extermination work first. Once the work is complete, we pay the bill, 307 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:44,640 we will leave the property. So we will attach that $30,000 bill to the property. If that does not 308 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,880 get paid, then it will go to tax sale. Unfortunately because of advertising requirements, 309 00:16:49,060 --> 00:16:53,420 it will not go to tax sale this year, it will happen next year. Whether or not the property 310 00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:58,260 be honored besides the pay the bill or not? I don't know.

They made so much food that we were able to tell people to have 497 00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:20,570 containers, Mackenzie Ford, little containers for them to fill up and they could take food 498 00:29:20,570 --> 00:29:28,950 home. And it was really, really good. I went on a bus trip about a week or so ago up to 499 00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:34,990 Bergenhand, up in Lancaster up there. And I'm going to tell you, the chirping that they 500 00:29:34,990 --> 00:29:41,310 did the kids from Amsterdam was far better than what I got up there. I was 501 00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:46,610 really disappointed in that lunch. I thought oh boy burn my hand I'm going to get 502 00:29:46,610 --> 00:29:56,470 chicken pot eye and their famous pot roast. No. I was at the turkey was shredded 503 00:29:56,470 --> 00:29:58,930 and we picked it up for charms. 504 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,080 Here, the term people, they sliced that turkey to precision. The men's potatoes were so creamy, all made with butter. And it was, they did phenomenal job. Those kids are really, they're really good. And they're all new crew, crew, because the ones that used to come prior to that have all graduated. And they were really nice kids. They were so happy to be there. We were happy to meet them. And the launching was a really big success. 505 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:35,340 which I'm glad because as I told you many times before a lot of times what they 506 00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:44,080 get at the center is their only meal. And no one thing. Galloway Township, the 507 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:50,880 senior center, does not turn anybody away. Even if they come and we and we're 508 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,940 maxed out, we will always make sure that they get something to eat. And that 509 00:30:55,940 --> 00:31:01,700 happen to us about a year ago maybe a little bit more we had a couple of homeless 510 00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:08,660 people living in the car that came in eight lunch with us on a kind of regular 511 00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:14,500 basis and we never told them no they went into the bathroom washed up we had a 512 00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:20,120 table for them you know we got to know after a while you know that they were 513 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:25,320 coming and they were so grateful for this little lunch and that we had and 514 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,960 Well, we shared what we had. 515 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,640 So there's people out there and they come in 516 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,220 and we don't ask questions, we say nothing. 517 00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:37,300 Can you, do you have any extra food? 518 00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:39,880 Of course, go wash up and sit down. 519 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,180 We'll make sure that you have a hot meal. 520 00:31:42,980 --> 00:31:47,400 So go away, we don't do that, just so you know. 521 00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:53,300 And we had a game that we played this week. 522 00:31:54,240 --> 00:32:07,840 guess the price.

We were amazed at the prices then to what it is now. 525 00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:34,300 Quadruple the amount we are paying now than what we paid in the late 50s or early 60s 526 00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:42,120 and quite a few people remembering so they won quite a few gift cards but it was it was good. 527 00:32:42,820 --> 00:32:51,160 coming up we're gonna be making candles for the holidays and we're gonna have 528 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:57,000 our more our Christmas more where we're gonna have different booths and 529 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,960 different tables and people will come in and be able to do crafts and take some 530 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:08,520 of the food that we have and it's free anybody could come in and do that our 531 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,780 Well, choice for Todd's box is pretty much full. 532 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,480 We already did it, and we've had a lot of success with it. 533 00:33:17,780 --> 00:33:19,420 They bought quite a few things in. 534 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,860 And we're going to set up a box for the veterans. 535 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,640 I think we're going to send it to the veterans home 536 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,620 in violent. 537 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,900 And we will be collecting different items 538 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:32,760 for the veterans. 539 00:33:33,420 --> 00:33:37,360 And we will get them out before Christmas. 540 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,980 so we will be doing something like that. 541 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,200 As I told you before, I want them to be active. 542 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,180 I want them to do things that matter 543 00:33:47,180 --> 00:33:51,260 to make them feel good, that they're doing something productive. 544 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,900 Not just sit and play bingo, but by the way, 545 00:33:55,060 --> 00:33:56,540 thank you for the bingo license. 546 00:33:58,180 --> 00:33:59,900 How are they happy Thanksgiving? 547 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,120 Happy Thanksgiving to you, Mrs. January. 548 00:34:05,670 --> 00:34:08,530 Anybody else from the public who have any questions or comments 549 00:34:08,530 --> 00:34:19,310 for counsel tonight?

We all went to the meeting. It was at the school in the big cafeteria or whatever 553 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:49,370 it was. And Donnie got up to speak and they kind of didn't like what he had to say. And 554 00:34:49,370 --> 00:34:55,050 they told him your five minutes a rub now go sit down. Now this is the mayor of Galloway 555 00:34:55,810 --> 00:34:57,010 They were rude. 556 00:34:57,830 --> 00:35:01,010 Mrs. Jay, that's a very big area of a regional school board. 557 00:35:01,090 --> 00:35:02,050 Whatever it was. 558 00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:03,190 This is a interpretation place. 559 00:35:03,590 --> 00:35:03,910 Yeah. 560 00:35:04,990 --> 00:35:08,270 But these things happen at school board meetings. 561 00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:08,830 How is that? 562 00:35:08,850 --> 00:35:10,350 Whatever school it is. 563 00:35:11,230 --> 00:35:13,170 And I have gone to meetings here. 564 00:35:15,350 --> 00:35:18,990 And you do suggestions to know of that. 565 00:35:19,690 --> 00:35:24,050 And I think it's because they are governed by the state. 566 00:35:24,050 --> 00:35:36,730 And you really don't have anything to say and it's a shame that they be the school and 567 00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:47,560 the people are not coagulated and need something we really need to be on a better level. 568 00:35:48,340 --> 00:35:54,880 And, you know, when we come up there with a problem or with something that we want done, 569 00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:56,060 we want to be heard. 570 00:35:57,020 --> 00:35:59,580 And we don't like being treated rudely. 571 00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:02,300 And that happens a lot. 572 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,160 And that's why a lot of people don't go to the school board meetings. 573 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,420 Because, because of that, I mean, you know, 574 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,280 and I will say that some people get up there and read and read, 575 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:20,700 then that's not a good thing either. It's not all the schools. We have to calm ourselves down. 576 00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:27,640 But come on now. We're all adults. You're going there with a question.
