volunteer in different ways,

52

and some people do this event, and some
people do this parade, and some people

53
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:11,680
are firefighters and are out all the
time. These guys are at all of the

54
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:17,199
things. We all do a little. Some of us
do a lot. They do it all. They're

55
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:22,160
everywhere all the time. It's crazy. I
don't even understand how they sleep.

56
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:27,600

103
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640
about all the stuff they do. So, I'm
glad you said

104
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,760
» because every time I start saying those
things, I like make my own self cry.

00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,959
» That's why I can't read cards in the
hallmark.

109
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,360
» So, council president, next item on the
agenda is public hearing on pending

110
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:01,120
ordinances. We have ordinance 7-26, an
ordinance to amend chapter 52, the

111
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,360
burough code of the burough Maywood
entitled personal policy.

112
00:09:03,839 --> 00:09:07,360
Council President, we need to open the
floor.

113
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:14,791
» So, I'll open the floor to public
comment on ordinance 726.

114
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,811
Do you have any comments, John?
[laughter]

115
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:26,560
» Um, does anyone Oh, well, I should close
then. Um, seeing none, we'll close the

116
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:31,120
uh public portion. Does anyone in the
council have any comments or questions

117
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,040
about this? This is the second reading,
so we're going to pass it tonight. I

118
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:40,320
will say, Adrian, I did notice the part
about training for AI policy. And I do

119
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,880
want to make sure that we put a pin in
that and that actually happens because

120
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,480
AI is confusing to people and employees.
And you know, we had a little issue with

121
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:53,680
using a graphic once that we didn't have
the permission for. So, I think making

122
00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:56,480
sure that the staff really understand
what the intention is here is super

123
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,080
important.
>> I'll talk to Frank and see if we can get

124
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,720
uh some of the MSI training, some
videos. Yeah,

125
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000
» they usually provide that if there is
something available.

126
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,680
» Yeah,
>> we'll get it.

127
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,040
» And just like let them know like we're
serious. Like they should read this and

128
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:14,240
acknowledge that they've read the policy
change because this is a brand new We're

129
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:19,600
in a strange new world here with AI. Um
all right. So, uh I think it's time to

130
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:23,360
take the role. We need a first and a
second. Oh, I'm sorry. Can I have a

131
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,720
motion?
>> I'll make the motion.

132
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,640
» I'll second.

close out and then uh be providing uh

157
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,959
documents uh to open space so that the
bureau can receive its outstanding grant

158
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,519
funding for that project.
uh the permeable paver projects, there's

159
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:06,880
been no action with respect to it. Uh
we're awaiting uh sports seasons and

160
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,720
events to end. [snorts] Uh once that
occurs in late fall, that project will

161
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,920
move forward in the winter. The under
drains will be constructed and then

162
00:12:12,079 --> 00:12:17,680
you'll be able to use the fields uh in
the spring of that year of next year,

163
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:23,680
2027.
uh Taplan and Laughlin. Uh we received

164
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:27,920
uh documents from uh the burrow today
which will allow us to make submissions

165
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,440
both to uh community development and DOT
by the end of the week. Then you'll be

166
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:37,279
in the queue to receive the outstanding
grant funds for both of those projects

167
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:43,600
too. Uh next item on the list is uh
Dodto. Uh we had a bid opening uh that

168
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:50,399
occurred on uh June 17th. We issued a
recommendation package uh just this week

169
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:54,480
on yesterday the 22nd. Once uh funding's
available for that project uh the award

170
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:58,720
would occur and we would anticipate that
uh piping would be installed August

171
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:03,200
September. You'd let it settle out for
two to three months and pave right

172
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:08,320
around October, November. Uh Memorial
Park, the Spring Valley uh entrance side

173
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:13,600
improvements project. Uh we've been
working uh with the governing body with

174
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:18,880
our office of repair conceptual plan for
that. Improvements include three

175
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:23,120
separate items. Uh the base bid is going
to be the retaining wall grading

176
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,120
improvements near the Spring Valley Road
parking lot. Uh what that'll do is

177
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,920
eliminate the current condition where
you see the slope eroding over and you

178
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:36,880
actually can see some of the the granite
that's located there. Uh that wall will

179
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:43,040
allow us to fill over that. You'll have
uh top soil there and be able to plant

180
00:13:38,959 --> 00:13:46,560
there and uh hold that slope and soil in
the alternate bid of that project will

181
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:51,200
include an irrigation system. The
irrigation system will ensure that that

182
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:55,760
those plantings are maintained and then
the alternate bid B which would be if

183
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:01,360
there's sufficient funding would be to
take the pathway where which now ends

184
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:05,600
and begins in the middle of the drive
aisle where residents would walk through

185
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:09,920
the parking lot. We're now locating that
along the right of way of Spring Valley

186
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,920
uh along the frontage. That would
require you to eliminate some of the

187
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:20,240
smaller saplings that have been planted
there. We will set the bid up so uh we

188
00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:24,079
attempt as best as possible to remove
those plantings and move them to other

189
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:30,079
locations within the park so that those
plantings uh aren't wasted. Uh what we

190
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:35,920
have done if if you've seen the plan is
developed an ADA ramp that will come

191
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:40,800
toward I guess the east toward the
basketball courts. You'll work your way

192
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:43,199
up at 5%. You'll then bend your way off
to the

193
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,920
» right
>> north that is toward the dog park. We'll

194
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:53,920
have a separate walkway into where the
dog park is, which is ADA accessible,

195
00:14:50,959 --> 00:14:57,839
and eliminate that stone area, which has
kind of been thrown down and is not not

196
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,959
clean and needs to be tidied, so you
have a clean entrance to the uh dog

197
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:07,920
park. Then you'll loop around with that
5% slope and be able to get uh to the

198
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:12,079
basketball courts. If you don't need to
use the ramp and and and don't need the

199
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,680
ADA accessible ramp, there's going to be
a stairway that will take you up

200
00:15:13,839 --> 00:15:21,760
directly to the basketball courts if you
want to uh eliminate going to the uh dog

201
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,600
park. So, there will be in between
there, which I think will be uh

202
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,600
something that'll create intra aesthetic
interest to the park. There there'll be

203
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:34,399
a small retaining wall that will loop uh
in between uh the 88 ramp where you

204
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:39,120
slope 5% to loop around toward the
basketball court. It'll be a planter box

205
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:44,480
that you could put trees, decorative
plantings in and and create an aesthetic

206
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:50,240
uh as you're either choosing to enter
the dog park or choosing to enter the

207
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:55,519
main [clears throat] park. Um I I know
we potentially may have a meeting uh

208
00:15:52,720 --> 00:16:00,240
this week. All are invited to uh visit
and we'll walk through and I can present

209
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,399
and show based upon the plan where these
separate improvements are going to be

210
00:16:01,839 --> 00:16:08,399
located so you can visualize it uh in
the field.

211
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:13,120
Next item on the list is the call for
DOT municipal aid grant projects. Uh

212
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,800
yesterday we submitted a grant
application for uh Ham Place. Uh we

213
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,839
would anticipate that around
Thanksgiving time, end of the year is

214
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,759
when the state would be awarding grants
and you would construct that either

215
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:30,480
spring or summer of next year based upon
uh funding availability. Uh and then the

216
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:35,440
final two items that are listed in the
report relate to the municipal storm

217
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:38,560
water management program. Uh, one was
the stormwater pollution prevention plan

218
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,160
and storm water management plan and also
the storm water control ordinance. We've

219
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,160
submitted those documents to Bergen
County. They're under review. Once

220
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:50,079
they're completed, uh, the burl would
upload those to their storm water

221
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:54,320
section of their website. The other is
the uh, larger watershed assessment

222
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:58,800
report. We're preparing that report.
We'll be issuing a draft by the end of

223
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,440
July. Uh, that report's due uh, at the
end of uh, this year. And then a final

224
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,959
item that's that's off the report, but
we had discussed at last month's meeting

225
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:11,280
was the Central Avenue paving that the
county is going to undertake. Uh we we

226
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:16,079
received correspondence that they
they're not going to be paving that

227
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:20,400
roadway into uh until 2027 based upon
their funding and review.

228
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,039
Some good aspects of the project though
and information that we've acquired. One

229
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:31,039
is that uh the county is going to be
implementing a bike path from Hacksac

230
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:35,039
through uh the burrow of Maywood as as
part of this project. Now when we asked

231
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:40,320
for the shoulder striping that was
requested, the burl has the option and

232
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:44,240
they asked us to pull the governing body
uh would you want uh shoulder striping

233
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,559
or would you want them to continue the
the bike path uh through the burrow? So

234
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,400
that's something that you would need to
consider. you don't need to take action

235
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,480
tonight because it's not going to occur
till next year, but they they'd like an

236
00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:59,760
answer from the governing body as it
relates to that. And then the final

237
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:07,679
item, I know the mayor had asked as it
relates to traveling um eastbound on uh

238
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:11,760
Central Avenue toward Hackinack about
lengthening that left turn lane because

239
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,160
you have some queuing that actually ends
up in the straight lane heading east.

240
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,360
and they said they will definitely uh
implement that, include that in the

241
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:23,039
revised construction documents when it
goes out to bid. So, you'll see that

242
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:27,679
lengthening occurring, hopefully less
queuing that impacts uh people traveling

243
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:30,480
eastbound on Central Avenue. That
concludes our report. Be glad to address

244
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:33,679
any questions or comments the governing
body had though.

245
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:40,559
» Can is I guess maybe they won't have
this yet, but with that bike path, the

246
00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:44,880
shoulder striping question, um it' be
good to see a plan. I I would imagine

247
00:18:42,799 --> 00:18:47,840
people might be
I mean Ryan I know is already like bike

248
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,880
path, right?
>> I just I have a question about So

249
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:56,880
Hackinack is installing the bike path,
correct? So, well, the county is going

250
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,600
to paint paint it on the uh c since
they're paving all of central avenue

251
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,240
from Hackinack through
>> my assumption is that Hackinack is

252
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,880
paying for no
>> it on their So, so that's my next

253
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:12,160
question is the county if we're talking
is going to continue if we so choose the

254
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:16,320
bike path will continue paving or
painting the bike path at their cost not

255
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,799
to the cost of
>> No, it's all this is all this is

256
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,760
project.
>> Yeah, just it's just choice on what to

257
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:26,960
That's going to be very
>> I'd love to know is it just paint or are

258
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:31,679
they planning on putting any kind of
>> Ballards? I mean Central gets quite

259
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,280
narrow between
Maywood

260
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,559
and uh Rochelle.
>> It is. It is.

261
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:42,000
» So
>> So I I know that I I I doubt they will

262
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:47,120
put Ballards in because the the
>> those little orange thingy bobers

263
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:51,760
» issues with uh vehicles traveling by
larger vehicles. I'd be glad to ask the

264
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:55,280
county to supply a striking plan for
what they intend to do within the

265
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:58,160
roadway. And I I I could distribute that
uh through the administrator of the

266
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:02,400
governing body to take a look at it.
>> Those skinny I'm sorry. Those skinny

267
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,440
little orange things that aren't quite
cones. I don't know what one would.

268
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,280
They're not bothered. It's probably not
the right word.

269
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,559
» Delineators they're called.
>> Oh, okay. Traffic delineators.

270
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,559
» You did not know that.
>> Exactly what I would have called them.

271
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:18,960
» Traffic delineator. They were located I
know at uh Maywood A and Spring Valley

272
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,919
and they get clipped a lot.
>> They absolutely get clipped but it's

273
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:26,160
better that they get clipped than the
people on the bikes is. So yeah know

274
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,600
into every life a traffic deliminator
must fall occasionally.

275
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:35,120
» What is the difference between the
shoulder and a bike path? Aren't they

276
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:40,720
are they similar in size? Is it just
that they put arrows for the bike path?

277
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,600
» They paint it. So I I would envision it
and I don't want to speak out of term

278
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,440
because I haven't seen the plan myself.
I was just asked the question. The the

279
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,559
white stripe would be your typical
shoulder that you you see that that that

280
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,000
you did on Spring Valley.
>> Spring Valley, right?

281
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:58,240
» Um your bike path would have the double
white with the paint the painted color

282
00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:03,120
in the middle with the symbol of the
bike bike traveling bike

283
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:08,400
» of which no one would be able to park on
said bike path on central on that side.

284
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:12,080
Correct. Well, it depends on where they
put it. There's there's only parking on

285
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:15,919
what
on the part between Maywood and Rochelle

286
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,720
A. There's only parking on one side of
the street anyway. So, if the bike path

287
00:21:17,679 --> 00:21:21,919
was put on that side,
>> hopefully it would be on the other side,

288
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:26,480
but it's so narrow. I mean, I've ridden
my bike on that street. And it's

289
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:30,640
» we'll probably be better off with I
mean, just for traffic in general to not

290
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:34,720
have cars parked on that road.
>> Yeah. Because when you have multiple

291
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,440
cars going at the same time, sometimes
you go around.

292
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,400
» You can't just decide that people can't
park on

293
00:21:38,159 --> 00:21:42,559
» Well, no. County road. That's a county
decision.

294
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:47,840
» It's a county decision to some extent,
right? And if that then I mean, if the

295
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,200
bike path is up, then you can't park in
a bike path that not on that side of the

296
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,960
street, but on the other side, you'd be
able

297
00:21:51,919 --> 00:21:55,600
» to park.
>> I just wonder what they're I guess we

298
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,080
have to see what they're
>> Yeah. I'm sorry, Claire. I didn't mean

299
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,159
to speak over you.
>> I'm talking to Adrian who's making a bad

300
00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:03,440
face.
>> Okay. Stop making faces.

301
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:07,045
» I'm I'm making I'm I'm in my bicycle.
>> If you're going to make faces, do it on

302
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:10,799
your microphone so it gets on the TV.
[laughter]

303
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:13,919
» Um we uh so obviously we need some more
information because the idea of a bike

304
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:21,120
path is a great idea. I mean, we
remember we we Ryan and Doug had uh sort

305
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:26,159
of champion the idea of putting the bike
path along the rail line.

306
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:30,799
You know, if that's still an option,
perhaps this bike path they're talking

307
00:22:28,159 --> 00:22:36,000
about could be diverted. on to that
through Maywood. Um, and then we would

308
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:39,919
avoid people. Why are you looking at me
in that tone of voice? [laughter] So,

309
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:47,000
» my tone of voice
>> that could that could um I it's just a

310
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:49,440
thought, you know, like to explore.
[laughter]

311
00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:54,559
» So, can we see a plan, please?
>> Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's it.

312
00:22:51,679 --> 00:22:57,600
» The uh county traffic engineer announc
the more we think about. Does anyone

313
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:04,000
else have any questions for our
engineer? Um just one thing I I had

314
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:09,280
brought up to Mr. Peniac before which is
and that we discussed we did get the

315
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:14,320
information back from the county saying
that they are of course okay with us

316
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,880
putting up crosswalk signs. Um I've
reached out to our CFO to just check on

317
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:23,039
the funding and I've also asked Mr. PLA
if he could look into some possible

318
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:27,120
grant opportunities for that to see how
much we would have funding for um if

319
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:32,640
we'd have funding to do all six um
across May would have the crosswalk

320
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:38,240
signs already in place from an old bond
bond ordinances um andor get some grant

321
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,400
money andor if we
>> my understanding was we have the money

322
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,559
set aside so yes we can get grant money
for other crosswalks.

323
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,120
» True. You're going to be waiting a year
or two then if you

324
00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:52,880
» Oh, no. No. These I
>> Gav's on the roof.

325
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:55,760
» Great. Did I not just say those girls?
>> Is there such a thing as a grant you get

326
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,919
immediately? If there is, we would love
to have it.

327
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,520
» That is the one thing is is is if you
are looking for grant money, it will

328
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,400
take some.
>> It's going to delay.

329
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,880
» Okay. Well, I'll let you know what Sher
>> It would turn into it would turn into a

330
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,400
next year project.
>> Yeah, we we've been promising these for

331
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:11,760
a long time. We've been told we have the
funding for a long time. It would be

332
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:15,600
really exciting to get crackacking on
this situation. So I would uh like

333
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,960
» So basically the next step is once I
just hear from Sher with everything that

334
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:24,240
everything is a-okay and then uh we just
need to official have an official

335
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,400
» bid the project
>> say for you to start putting together

336
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:34,480
the package. And just so everyone
remembers, you did say it's roughly

337
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:38,640
$50,000 a crosswalk, and that is doing
the work soup to nuts, but that does

338
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:43,679
also include striping across the street,
of which we would not have to do because

339
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,520
the striping already exists on Maywood
Avenue that the county did do. So,

340
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:50,159
» although we I mean, you never know. It
might need a little touch-up.

341
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:55,360
» It might need a little touch-up. I mean,
that might be part of what we have to

342
00:24:51,919 --> 00:24:59,120
look at, but that would be the
>> and and that's not the expensive part of

343
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:03,200
the No, the sign, right?
>> I think we need some traffic delineators

344
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:05,200
in the middle of the crosswalk as well.
Just going to say

345
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,679
» put that in the
>> Do you have another

346
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:15,120
» Greg? I have a question. Sure. Um
>> the patchwork on Maywood Avenue, now

347
00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:19,200
that she brings it up, especially by
Burrow Hall, is is horrible. Um is the

348
00:25:17,679 --> 00:25:23,200
county coming back? Are they sending
their contractors back to address that

349
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:25,120
or is that is that the way it's going to
stay?

350
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,320
» Yeah, I I I I could reach out.
>> I I've actually been meaning to reach

351
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:31,919
out to you about this, but but Katherine
just brought up uh what she brought up

352
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:33,919
and just popped into my head right now.
>> Which patchwork are you talking about?

353
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:38,559
» I'm sorry.
>> Which patchwork are you talking about?

354
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:42,880
» The one on the corner of Park and Well,
actually all over, but on Park and uh

355
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Maywood A is pretty bad right out front
here. Um and and it was done without any

356
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,120
I I believe it was done without even
talking to the the planning I mean I'm

357
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:53,120
sorry the building department until
after like they you know like they

358
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,720
generally
>> under the cover of night.

359
00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:00,799
» Yeah. I mean it's always emergency work
>> and and it was the county or was it a

360
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,799
utility? It was
>> I want to say it was PSEG but I I

361
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,480
believe it was PSEG. I think
>> Was it the gas leak?

362
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,480
» You talking about the GL the gas leak
right out here?

363
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:11,760
» If that's what they were calling it. I'm
not exactly [laughter] sure what the

364
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,559
reason was.
>> That's what they were calling it. Yeah.

365
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,880
I mean, listen, they have
>> purportedly

366
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:21,279
» they've never met an emergency they
didn't have a name for. I mean, you

367
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:24,240
know, they just it gives if by calling
it an emergency, they can just do as

368
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:26,000
they please.
>> You know, you made me think of something

369
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,360
else.
>> Oh, no.

370
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,640
» I'm sorry.
>> Sorry. Sorry.

371
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:36,880
» Um there I know I said to you and to
Gary, there's a little there's a bit of

372
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:41,360
a sinkhole developing on Orchard Place
in front of like fairly close to the

373
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:46,640
end. There's an old patch probably from
152 years ago. So, Gary said he called

374
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:51,440
in a uh a mark out cuz he wanted to see
which

375
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:55,440
utility might be in the vicinity. Um I
don't know, maybe we don't have a record

376
00:26:52,720 --> 00:27:00,000
of who it was, but if you it's in front
of nine orchard place and since you're

377
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:04,960
going to be at the aphasia center, you
could go just take a little detour. Uh,

378
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:10,799
so right in the corner of the patch
there's a hole and it and when you look

379
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:14,480
in it, the a literary agent editor
thought it seemed deep and dangerous. So

380
00:27:13,588 --> 00:27:18,559
[laughter]
I don't know if I mean it looks pretty

381
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:22,720
deep to me and I I don't know. I'm
worrying that the whole that whole big

382
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:26,159
block we've been talking about that's
already falling apart is like now being

383
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,840
undermined.
>> Um, so

384
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,120
» a
>> lot of road discussion today.

385
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:35,840
» Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff. Uh, Greg,
if I may, just to

386
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:40,400
» pile on your report, which generated a
tremendous amount of discussion tonight

387
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:47,440
to circle back briefly
on to the bike uh lane, there's, I'd

388
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:51,840
say, a better chance than not, I will
not be on the council when this finally

389
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:58,960
comes to a vote. So I would like my
colleagues and for it to be on record

390
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:02,799
thinking uh or saying rather that
in my opinion there's no question it

391
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:07,600
should be a bike lane. I've said on this
day it's for almost nine years now and

392
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:12,720
I'm sure if you looked at the 90 years
before that the county has never offered

393
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:17,279
to put a bike lane in any municipality
uh at no cost to the burrow. People are

394
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:21,279
still going to drive their bikes to
Saddlebrook Park. Kids are going to

395
00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:24,960
continue to drive their bikes to Saddle
Brook Park because you could see them

396
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:30,159
every evening playing basketball and
pickle ball and tennis there. So, if we

397
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:35,279
could uh do something to make that drive
a little safer, I think we would be

398
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:36,960
silly not to.
>> Duly noted, sir.

399
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:40,720
» Yeah.
>> Thank you.

400
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:45,520
» It would help me make my bike trips
longer, which I would appreciate because

401
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:48,960
I would feel safer. It's not safe on
Central on a bike. I'm just going to

402
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:54,000
tell you. Um, all right. Is there
anything else or have we exhausted the

403
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,880
engineers report and can we let Greg
scadaddle?

404
00:28:55,919 --> 00:29:00,640
» You got anything else, Greg?
>> I kind of did it already.

405
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,640
» Don't unless anybody has any questions?
>> You

406
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,000
» sure you don't want to circle back to
the bike lane? [laughter]

407
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:10,640
» We do have under new business this
concept plan and the grading for

408
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:14,960
Memorial Park, which you did already
review. Does any even though that's

409
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:17,760
later on the agenda, does anyone else
have any additional questions

410
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:21,600
specifically about that?
>> Just you said there's going to be a

411
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:26,399
meeting you're going to show where the
>> So I I think uh

412
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:31,039
the burough administrator and I have a
meeting 2:30

413
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:35,360
uh for a matter at the uh Peerless
Firehouse on Thursday. After that

414
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:40,960
meeting uh we're going to have a meeting
at uh the Spring Valley side of Memorial

415
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Park just to walk through uh that plan.
So we can you can everybody can

416
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:48,000
visualize it in the field and then we
can discuss potential revisions if you'd

417
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,760
like to revise the plan.
>> So you guesstimate like 3:30ish

418
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,559
» 330 we should be
>> I'm going to the theater. It can't be a

419
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,720
lot later than that.
>> Definitely would

420
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:00,640
» around 3:30 on Thursday.
>> Around 3:30.

421
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:03,919
» Yeah. Because I I'm looking at the the
plan you gave, but kind of want to see

422
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,720
it in real life.
>> We we'll show you in real life and we'll

423
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:10,480
also have a larger scale plan so that
you Yeah. Yeah. That's tiny. All right.

424
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:14,080
Well, and if as many of us can get there
as possible, then and if anybody else

425
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:17,760
has questions, I'm going to try to get
there. If you have questions and you

426
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,799
can't get there, feel free to
>> ask.

427
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,000
» John, is this something since there's
going to be no discussion about is this

428
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,880
something that we have to worry about a
quorum or can we just everybody just

429
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,520
show up and look around. It's a park.
We're there.

430
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,520
» No replying all.
>> Well, right. If there's no going to be

431
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:38,080
no discussion and no action taken, you
could all go on a site visit.

432
00:30:35,039 --> 00:30:40,559
» Okay. Just want to make sure. Thank you.
Thank you.

433
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:43,200
» We could speak amongst ourselves. Just
not discuss it.

434
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,520
» Just just no replying all.
>> Just no discussing the pro [laughter]

435
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,120
the project.
>> Yeah.

436
00:30:45,919 --> 00:30:49,919
» You're going to if you're going to
discuss the project, then

437
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,799
» it's listen only.
>> It's listen only.

438
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,200
» Listen, take note. Well, it's just an
understanding what's going on. We can

439
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:02,559
have the discussions after. All right.
So, can we let Mr. Piniac go?

440
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:06,480
» Unless the member of the public has any
questions for him, I would say yes.

441
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:10,559
» The member.
>> All right. I think we can dispense with

442
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,480
you, Mr. Pony. And you may go home to
your lovely family.

443
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,159
» Thank you so much.
>> All right. Have a wonderful night and

444
00:31:14,559 --> 00:31:17,200
we'll see you Thursday.
>> Bye, Greg.

445
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:23,120
» Have a good night.
>> All right. So, on to bills and claims.

446
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:27,440
Uh,
so do I just call for a motion or do you

447
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:31,440
have to say anything first?
>> Okay. Can I have a motion? Hope

448
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:36,559
everyone's had a chance to take a look.
>> Make a motion to pay the bills.

449
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:40,080
» Would anyone else like to pay the bills?
I'll second.

450
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,080
» There you go. And roll call.
>> On roll call. Bennon.

451
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,120
» Yes.
>> Herrick,

452
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,320
» yes.
>> Pedavano.

453
00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:49,320
» Uh, yes to all recuse from the hour
town.

454
00:31:52,159 --> 00:31:54,240
» Uh,
>> man.

455
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,480
» Yes.
>> Flynn.

456
00:31:54,960 --> 00:32:01,440
» Yes. Motion carries.
>> Okay. The next thing is we are going to

457
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:06,399
open the meeting to the public. Uh, does
anyone from the public have anything

458
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:10,480
they would say? Oh, surprise surprise.
Would you like to come? You have to come

459
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:14,960
to the microphone and speak in clearly.
>> Want to sit down?

460
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,679
» Name and address, please.
>> Do you have a What? Are you giving us

461
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,519
your report? He
>> has notes.

462
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:26,000
» No, it's something else.
>> It's just one page though.

463
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:29,840
» So, you're shocked.
>> Let's go. Mr. Brown.

464
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:32,960
» John Brown. Still at 417.
>> John, [laughter] is that on? See if it's

465
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:34,880
on. The green light. It wasn't on
before.

466
00:32:33,519 --> 00:32:37,360
» Hold the green light. I mean, hold the
button until the green light.

467
00:32:36,399 --> 00:32:40,480
» Can you hear it?
>> Oh, John can hear you.

468
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:45,039
» Green light's on. Test.
>> Oh, that's better.

469
00:32:41,679 --> 00:32:51,200
» Ah, okay. I'm still John Brown at 41
Sterling Avenue. Um, two weeks ago I

470
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:58,480
stood at the same spot after the
presentation of of the budget

471
00:32:54,847 --> 00:33:04,080
[clears throat] and at that time
I had concerns

472
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:11,840
with the stated surplus
uh that remained and I stated that it

473
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:16,480
was $1.2 million if you recall. If you
don't, you can watch it on the video.

474
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:20,320
It's at 34 minutes and 10 seconds. So,
I'll give you the reference

475
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:27,279
» into our minds. Continue.
>> At that point, Mr. Wilcox said there is

476
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:31,679
not 1.2 million left. There is really
2.2 million left because of that

477
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:35,200
interfund issue.
>> Yeah.

478
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:41,440
» And he stated that at 3450.
Um, again, you can verify that

479
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:46,799
we had two weeks in between and there's
been discussions

480
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:54,399
and I I gotta commend Adrian for acting
as the referee, punching bag and

481
00:33:49,840 --> 00:34:00,559
sparring partner at times. Uh, but
during those discussions, I decided to

482
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:08,399
ask Mr. Wilcox in a different form and I
I propo I posed two questions to him.

483
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:14,800
one was that if he were to fill in or he
were to remake the slide which was the

484
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:20,159
last slide in your package okay and it's
entitled budget highlights there are two

485
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:25,520
figures that are on that slide the first
one I don't have any uh qums with

486
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:27,599
» now you might need to what is the figure
just without getting into details say

487
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:32,159
quickly what
>> the first figure was the the amount

488
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:36,240
that's used as surplus into revenue
>> okay

489
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:42,800
» okay The second figure is the surplus
remaining as of the end of the year.

490
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:49,919
That's what I was stating the 1.2.
Um so what I asked Mr. Wilcox through

491
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:55,200
through aging um if you were to redo
that slide, if you had to redo that

492
00:34:52,079 --> 00:35:01,119
slide, what would be the second figure
in that? And I yet I did that because on

493
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:06,400
that slide that was presented, there was
only one figure. In other words, the

494
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:12,079
remainder was not on the slide. Whereas
in the past four maybe five years, that

495
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:19,839
figure had always been shown going back
to Chuck Cuchia when he was the CFO

496
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:25,280
through um uh Sherry through Steve even.
I think he probably presented it maybe

497
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:29,680
once. Um that was always part of the
presentation. That is what I was

498
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:35,119
referring to.
Okay. So

499
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:42,000
when I received the answer, which was
today, Steve responded in an email

500
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:48,079
saying that he would have put $1.2
million as what was remaining as of the

501
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:53,920
end of 2025.
The same number that I said to you.

502
00:35:50,720 --> 00:36:01,040
Okay? So it wasn't wrong. It was
correct. I know what Steve is saying.

503
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:05,040
The interfund transfer would bring 900.
>> Well, it will it will bring it in the

504
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,960
future. It's not here.
>> It was forwardlooking. Yeah.

505
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:15,440
» Okay. Accountants normally don't talk in
terms of you know I hope I wish I pray

506
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,880
you know it may be you know it's it's
documented in

507
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:22,400
» Isn't that why he wrote the 1.2 because
the 900's already gone and it's got to

508
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,920
come back in the future.
>> Yes.

509
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:31,040
» And I and I expect that. Okay. I in fact
I hope it happens and I I I don't have

510
00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:33,440
any reason to do believe it.
>> He has to do worse happen yet.

511
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:39,280
» Correct.
>> And in fact as I stand here right now

512
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:42,240
» all of you you have $1.2 million.
>> Correct.

513
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:47,920
» You don't have the amount until that's
transferred back until Sher does the

514
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:51,359
transfer and and I don't think any of us
know if that was even done yet.

515
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,320
» No, it won't be. I think it'll be more
like the fall, right?

516
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:57,280
» Yeah, that's that's what I thought. can
only be done in November, December, and

517
00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:59,280
January.
>> It'll be the end of the year

518
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,920
» in February.
>> So, you can keep asking us about that.

519
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:06,079
» So, you don't have a penny more than
what I told you.

520
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:10,079
» Okay? And and once that transfer, I
understand it. The transfer is going to

521
00:37:07,839 --> 00:37:14,000
happen. Okay? At the end of the year,
you'll you'll know exactly depending

522
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,359
upon what you spend in the rest of the
year,

523
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:21,680
» right?
>> Going forward. Okay? So I I just want to

524
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:27,040
clarify that and to make everybody
understand and you know it brings to a

525
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:34,400
point something I've been harping on for
several years that presentation should

526
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,800
be done when the budget is introduced.
We wouldn't have to go through all of

527
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,920
this.
>> It's it's almost like telling me what's

528
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:45,920
in the soup as I'm eating it.
I know what you're saying and I know we

529
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:49,359
discussed this and we had all agreed oh
yeah let's have it early but then we

530
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:52,320
were told that we were not allowed to do
that by am I wrong about or

531
00:37:51,359 --> 00:37:56,960
misremembering that
>> you can't have the public hearing

532
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:00,240
» you can't have public hearing for the 28
days that was why

533
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:04,880
» but you can have a discussion on the
budget you can do the presentations

534
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:08,720
there is plenty of of town
>> it's different than public hearing

535
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:13,839
» so we could do the presentation
>> but you can't entertain questions or

536
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:16,880
statements So we so so would you be able
to control yourself

537
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:21,839
» if we had a presentation
>> control myself and not and you were not

538
00:38:19,359 --> 00:38:27,440
allowed to speak you would not be
allowed to say anything but I mean I

539
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:31,040
think we can take this under advisement.
One other thing that I will say happened

540
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:35,599
this year because of the delay with the
state getting us their information uh

541
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:41,440
through and also all this crazy business
that happened with the insurance and

542
00:38:38,079 --> 00:38:43,920
other things. The budget went later than
we would have liked. We

543
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:48,320
» Everybody got a delay.
>> I know. So, so we could have probably

544
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:53,119
had some additional meetings, but then
that would have just put off passing it

545
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:56,240
which was kind of that creates a certain
number of problems because you're on the

546
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,520
temporary budget. So, we were
>> there was two meetings in between which

547
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,760
allowed
>> but it wasn't the 28 days that's the

548
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:07,839
problem. So, we were aware of what you
said and then we got told that what we

549
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:11,920
had thought we could do we couldn't do.
But we will take this under advisement

550
00:39:09,839 --> 00:39:14,400
and we will try to see if next year will
be a more normal year.

551
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:17,520
» All that's all I can ask.
>> And you when you have questions, you

552
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:21,040
need to ask them because we're here.
Don't wait till the last minute.

553
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,200
» Except for on that day if there's a
presentation and no one's allowed to

554
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:27,359
speak.
>> Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, then don't. Yes. Ex.

555
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:32,320
I take it all back. I retract what I
said. And and I just want to address

556
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:36,640
Claire's comment about what I said to
her. I don't even remember saying that,

557
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:40,640
but both you and Adrian said I did.
>> And I believe you. I believe.

558
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:44,240
» Absolutely. I I almost flew over and I
believe I even said, "I'm going to

559
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:48,000
remind you of that at the next meeting."
>> And I thought about it. I thought, "Why

560
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:51,520
would I say that?" BECAUSE IT WAS TRUE.
>> MY DIARY,

561
00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:55,680
» I actually thought about what and and
for for those of you who weren't here,

562
00:39:53,680 --> 00:40:02,480
uh Claire said I said it was a good
budget. And looking back

563
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:07,680
based upon the information I had, I
probably thought that for one thing, I

564
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:14,800
didn't find any blatant errors. I didn't
find any, you know, holes that could

565
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:21,440
have been used to fill gaps. Uh,
other than the um previous suggestions I

566
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:23,200
had in which I was declared the uh what
was it?

567
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:25,680
» I don't know. But I've never seen
>> Oh, the Grinch.

568
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,880
» The Grinch. The Grinch of Maywood. So,
>> I don't know. But I've never seen

569
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,040
anybody backpedal in the same and not
move. [laughter]

570
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:32,960
» You haven't moved a spot, but you've
been backpedaling this whole time. I've

571
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,440
never seen
>> I will remind you that you suggested

572
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,880
cancelling Christmas.
>> All right. The [laughter] the other

573
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:44,960
point was I I I
didn't see anything in the budget that

574
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:48,079
that cleared to being bad. Um and I was
looking at the border towns. The

575
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:52,079
information I had at that time, the ones
I was concentrating on were the ones

576
00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:57,920
that literally border our town. And
there were Hackin Sacks which had a

577
00:40:54,079 --> 00:40:59,920
10.7% increase. Elwood Park which had
16.7%

578
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,599
increase.
>> Third year with 7%.

579
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,079
» She lives there. She knows they're
double digits.

580
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:11,119
» They're the worst county through through
the pain. Um you know all the other

581
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:14,480
towns were higher and that's why I made
that statement when I had the full

582
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,880
information.
>> You know I I have a question.

583
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:22,000
» Yes.
>> If you sir you want to go down this

584
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:25,280
road. If the CFO came in in two weeks,
>> right,

585
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:27,200
» and did the transfer and now there's 2.2
million in surplus,

586
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:31,119
» right?
>> Does the does the C whatever you gave

587
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,040
does it go to a B+?
>> Yeah, it might. Okay, just question.

588
00:41:33,359 --> 00:41:39,920
» And can we serve Crow?
>> BUT BUT [laughter] YOU KNOW

589
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:44,093
» YOU KNOW what you can't
>> How many black birds were baked?

590
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:47,200
» You can't spell CLA without a C in it.
[laughter]

591
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:52,319
» OH,
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. That that was a bit

592
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:59,760
much. Okay, let's uh thank you, Mr.
Brown. Um on that note, I will close the

593
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:03,119
public portion and move on to
correspondence uh and report of the

594
00:42:01,839 --> 00:42:07,119
burough clerk.
>> Thank you, Council President. Um I do

595
00:42:05,599 --> 00:42:13,200
not have any correspondence for
tonight's meeting. Um my report was

596
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:19,520
going to be progress, but then Greg
had a bell go off in my head. Um

597
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:23,280
» I hope it didn't hurt. No. Um, did the
Shade Tree Commission um, look at that

598
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,920
ordinance?
>> Not yet. We haven't had a meeting. I

599
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,359
know. I know. I know.
>> We have to get that done.

600
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,960
» Because I think we tried to do this a
couple years ago and it kind of got like

601
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,400
lost in the mist.
>> It didn't get lost.

602
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,920
» Just we
>> when they first came out with the model

603
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,480
ordinance and they kind of said they
wanted everyone to do it. It wasn't

604
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:48,640
really clear that you had to do it.
>> Yeah. We have to do it and we have to

605
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:52,079
get it. Shade Tree Commission,
you know, they're kind of being put in a

606
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:57,599
position where guys, just so you know
what this is, they want us to update the

607
00:42:53,839 --> 00:43:02,880
shade shade tree ordinance. And you
know, our shade tree commission involves

608
00:43:00,319 --> 00:43:07,200
our burrow trees, which is that first 10
feet from the curb and the residences

609
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:12,319
and the public grounds, you know, the
parks and things like that. They they

610
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:18,079
want us now to pass an ordinance where
we're going to start

611
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:22,800
regulating, for lack of a better word,
bigger trees on people's private

612
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:27,040
property. So that if you're going to
take down a big tree, you have to

613
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:31,280
replace it by a certain number of trees.
And if not, you have to put money into a

614
00:43:29,359 --> 00:43:36,800
shade tree bank. And the problem with
this, in their opinion, and I think they

615
00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:42,720
have a point, is who's going to enforce
this? because it isn't going to be these

616
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:49,440
resident commissioners who were on the
shade tree and so and and they really

617
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:55,359
were concerned I mean look preserving
large trees is important but they also

618
00:43:53,280 --> 00:44:00,880
don't want to engender any animosity
towards the shade tree in you know by

619
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:05,040
telling homeowners that they can't take
down trees in their backyard. So they

620
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:08,480
they
were supportive of the concept, but they

621
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:13,040
were concerned about the specifics they
were being asked to do. So now we're

622
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,319
being told we have to pass this or we're
not going to be in compliance with the

623
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:20,240
D. And I don't really know what the
repercussions of not being in compliance

624
00:44:18,319 --> 00:44:24,400
with the D is, but I assume it's not
good and not something we're going to

625
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:28,000
do. So uh the shade tree is going to
look at it. I I'll you know what? I

626
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:33,200
should also share a copy of it with all
of you so you can take a look at it. Um

627
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:38,160
it's just a big it's an ordinance. It's
a sample ordinance with red highlights

628
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:40,800
where you can change things. So
>> set fees and stuff like that

629
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:46,720
» set fees and things like that. And so
one option is to say you can't do this

630
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:51,200
but the fee if you do it is zero. Um but
then that might encourage people. So we

631
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:55,920
have to think about it. Um
it's a little it's just a little

632
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,560
balancing a few things. So anyway, we
have to deal with that.

633
00:44:57,839 --> 00:45:01,520
» Anything else?
>> Progress.

634
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:07,146
» Okay. Thank you. And administrators
report from the administrator.

635
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,680
» Thank you, madame council president. Um
[clears throat]

636
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:13,440
the uh just want to mention something.
The the tournament they had the uh the

637
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:17,839
MA had their tournament.
>> Yes.

638
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:22,720
» Uh teams from all over the county came
and the

639
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,839
it was rave reviews for our field. I'm
told it's being called the complex.

640
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:30,640
» Nice.
>> They call it the complex in quotes. So,

641
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:35,119
with a capital T and a capital C. So,
they they said the fields were

642
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:39,200
beautiful. Um, obviously, whatever the
conditions are in terms of uh there's a

643
00:45:37,119 --> 00:45:43,359
little little bit of weeds in some
places. We're working on that right now,

644
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:48,319
but other than that, they just loved it.
The lights um baseball on at night uh

645
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:50,079
over there is just something special to
see.

646
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,079
» Lights are amazing.
>> Yeah,

647
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:56,240
» they really are.
>> Um, Field of Dreams. There you go. We

648
00:45:55,616 --> 00:46:03,440
[laughter]
we we've I have an update on one of the

649
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:07,599
situation on Jagger. Um some people I'm
sure we all know about. It's been on

650
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:10,720
Facebook. There's a um
>> I don't get into detail, but there's

651
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,040
there's um
>> a house with serious property

652
00:46:12,079 --> 00:46:14,720
maintenance issues.
>> Yes.

653
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,640
» That are very concerning to the
neighbors who are very upset.

654
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:23,359
» Yes. Yes. Yes.
>> Rightly so.

655
00:46:17,839 --> 00:46:26,720
» Um they have been remedied. So I I have
>> remedied or we've made proc progress.

656
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,160
» They have been remedied.
>> Oh my lord.

657
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:34,160
» So the sewer there's there was a sewer
there was an issue with the sewer

658
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:41,520
backing up into the basement. Uh I have
a receipt from the the the attorney for

659
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:46,640
the trustees sent me a receipt. Um they
cleaned the sewer out. They did a they

660
00:46:44,319 --> 00:46:51,520
snaked it. So it everything is is
working now. And they also have a

661
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:58,319
company coming in or by this point
probably came in already to uh clean out

662
00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:04,079
the basement completely. Um and with
that we the there was a you guys I'm

663
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:10,000
sure you guys were told but the mayor
came in and spoke with the building

664
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:13,920
department and also spoke with the um
>> social worker the trustees

665
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:19,280
» and the trustees and basically kicked
this into gear. got this going uh got

666
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:22,079
them moving uh lit a fire under the
butts of the people that he needed to

667
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:28,000
light a fire under the butts from the
county and got this moving forward. Um

668
00:47:25,839 --> 00:47:32,319
and at that point our building
department moved into action and put

669
00:47:29,839 --> 00:47:38,960
some colorful stickers on the doors
which really got things moving and um

670
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:44,640
there we are. So my my understanding is
everything's taken care of and there

671
00:47:41,839 --> 00:47:47,200
might be a change going forward. Um, I
don't need to get into that, but there

672
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:51,520
might be a change going forward where
this doesn't happen again. Hopefully,

673
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:55,040
the the the instigators of this will not
be doing this again.

674
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:59,040
» Is there uh
>> I'm talking in code. I'm sorry. No, I

675
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:04,079
understand
in first of all, the front is just in

676
00:48:01,839 --> 00:48:08,720
general disrepair. Is there going to be
some, you know, lawnmowing in the front

677
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:14,960
and cleanup of the situation in the
backyard, the outside? My understanding

678
00:48:11,119 --> 00:48:18,960
is um there might be a new situation
over there where the people that that

679
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:20,720
» No, I understand what you're talking
about.

680
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,200
» They're going to be fixing it up.
>> Okay.

681
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:27,760
» But but as it stands now, everything's
going to be brought into uh code.

682
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,000
» Yeah. So all the stuff outside is going
to be removed.

683
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,720
» Correct. Everything that's out there
will be removed. A company's going to

684
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:37,440
come in and take care of that if they
haven't already. Um and everything's

685
00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:41,359
working as it should. So there'll be no
need to do what was being done.

686
00:48:40,079 --> 00:48:46,640
Although I don't know how that could
even possibly be the solution, but it

687
00:48:43,359 --> 00:48:51,200
was. Um, but anyway, it's taken care of.
>> Will there be followup by the building

688
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:56,800
department or property maintenance to
ensure that the these things are

689
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,240
done?
>> Um, we don't have we don't have access

690
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,119
to go in there,
>> but on the out the things that they were

691
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:06,319
just discussing on the on the
>> Yeah, we'll be able to we'll be the the

692
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:09,040
the count the board of health will be
able to go the you know, as you know, we

693
00:49:07,839 --> 00:49:12,319
use the county for our border of health.
we have a a shared service,

694
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:16,000
» they'll be able to go and confirm
because there was a notice of violation

695
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:19,599
on that. So, they'll have to know uh go
there and double check to make sure that

696
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:24,640
it was remediated. So, they'll be able
to tell uh check on that. Uh a lot of

697
00:49:22,319 --> 00:49:30,079
the the fines that were going to be
racked up were at some point kicked into

698
00:49:27,119 --> 00:49:33,520
daily fines. So, there was an incentive
for the the attorneys to take care of

699
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,520
this and and get everything taking get
everything done so that they weren't

700
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:40,480
incurring those daily fines.
>> Okay. So, if you could keep us updated

701
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:45,040
about I will
>> that we would be very appreciative.

702
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:51,680
» Yep. Um,
we got the the camp started on Monday.

703
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:55,839
Um, going well. Uh,
>> Barb, do we have the uh I'm sorry. Do we

704
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:57,359
have that resolution? I spaced on that
>> for the director.

705
00:49:56,559 --> 00:50:02,559
» Yeah. Yes.
>> Okay. uh you'll see there's a a

706
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:05,599
resolution to name uh the the
>> assistant

707
00:50:03,119 --> 00:50:09,040
» assistant director right now as acting
director and there will be the pay

708
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,800
increase obviously because she's doing
the position of that of uh the director.

709
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:17,040
There was an issue a health issue with
the the director that would have been

710
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:21,280
there this year. Uh we're praying that
he comes back next year, but in the

711
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:24,720
meantime we have somebody also that will
be replacing her as the assistant. Just

712
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,960
moving everybody's basically just moving
up the line. Um, I'm hearing great

713
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:33,200
things so far about the camp. We got a
brand new ping pong table because the

714
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:39,440
other two were ratty and older. We got a
real sturdy one now. Um, and um,

715
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:42,480
everything that I'm hearing right now,
at least in this early stage, people are

716
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:47,880
happy.
>> Do you want to talk about the cutting

717
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,880
through?

718
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:56,240
» We could.
>> I think it might be a good idea.

719
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:59,839
» Okay. Um, maybe. Okay. Yeah. Um,
as you guys know, because you guys are

720
00:50:58,319 --> 00:51:05,040
the ones who did it, you had the the
guts to actually do this. Um, you put

721
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:10,480
the gate on the entrance to Duvier.
Unfortunately, I think a couple people

722
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:15,920
came in and complained and it was never
closed, so it's just there. Um, we've

723
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:21,200
had several
near close calls last year and we've had

724
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:25,520
one that I know for sure since the
pool's been open, a close call. And by

725
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:32,960
close call, I mean either a kid, either
a child or on a bike or a child walking

726
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:38,559
or an an older adult walking across from
one side of the parking lot to the side

727
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:44,400
that's up against the fence and having
to either stop or speed up because a car

728
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:49,040
is coming through the drive. Basically,
they use the parking lot like a road

729
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:53,599
parking lot as a cut through to not have
to go on to Central to get onto Route 17

730
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:57,760
or vice versa. not have to go through
Hergusell and all that. They just come

731
00:51:55,040 --> 00:52:02,880
through the they just come through um
from 17 that way and go into Maywood.

732
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:10,720
They they basically skip they beat
traffic. But that's all well and good in

733
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:16,319
the winter, fall, and spring, but in the
summer when we have camp and the pool,

734
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:22,000
it's a real hazard. And it's not a
matter of when of of if. It's a matter

735
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:26,240
of when somebody actually gets hit by a
car. I'm not saying it's going to be a

736
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:30,559
life and death situation. Could be, but
I mean, just touching somebody's body

737
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:34,720
with a vehicle is going to do damage,
especially if it's a kid. Now, many

738
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:40,000
times these kids are so hopped up on
sugar or just happy to go either to the

739
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:42,559
pool or leave the pool. They just had a
great time. They're excited. They're on

740
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,680
their bike. They just took their bike
off the bike rack and they want to go

741
00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:49,760
home and they're not thinking. They're
talking to their friends and all it

742
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:53,680
takes is that split second and the kids
hit by a car. And because these people

743
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:59,520
don't necessarily
drive slow through there either, they go

744
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:02,800
at the speed they want to get to. They
want to get to Route 17 basically is

745
00:53:01,119 --> 00:53:06,800
what they're trying to do or get home.
So, they're not exactly going slow. Um,

746
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,480
and even if they are, if a kid's not
looking, it doesn't matter because

747
00:53:08,079 --> 00:53:14,000
they're going to get hit. So, what I
would ask you guys to think about, and I

748
00:53:12,319 --> 00:53:18,319
know this was the chief's recommendation
from day one, which is during the

749
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:22,000
summer, and he could speak to this um if
he wants to, but I I have talked to him

750
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:26,720
about it. During the summer when the
pool and camp is open, Duvier is just

751
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:31,920
closed. The entrance from Duvier is just
closed. We get some kind of signage and

752
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:36,079
we put it on Lennox saying that it's
closed so people don't come in traffic

753
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,800
cuz once you come in on Duvia, it's a
dead end over there. unless you go

754
00:53:37,359 --> 00:53:43,040
through. If it's closed, you have to
back up. So, if we have some kind of

755
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:47,119
signage on Lennox letting people know
that there's no cut through. And then

756
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:53,359
now the only way to get into the pool or
out of the pool is uh central Brook

757
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:58,559
Central Hericell Brookke. Uh that's the
way to get in and out. Now, you're ahead

758
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:06,559
of time because you guys dealt with this
prior uh probably around 2020 2021ish.

759
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:11,760
Um, people on Lennox or people close to
Lennox Toma are going to be real angry

760
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:15,440
because they can't drive to the pool now
that way. They can walk to the pool.

761
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:19,280
They could ride their bikes to the pool,
but they can't drive into the pool that

762
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,559
way. Nor can they exit the pool that
would they be able to exit the pool to

763
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:27,680
go home. So, they are going to have to
go out and it's going to be an

764
00:54:24,720 --> 00:54:32,400
imposition. I get it. But the the
thought is what's a bigger imposition

765
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:36,720
having to spend the rest of your summer
in a cast because you broke your leg cuz

766
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:40,480
you got hit by a car if and that's the
best case scenario. You you're you know

767
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:44,559
you're tied up in traction because
you're a little kid and now you can't

768
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:48,400
enjoy the rest of the summer because I
live on Lennox and I didn't want to have

769
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:51,200
to go all the way around on Central. And
I'm not picking on people on Lennox. It

770
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:56,079
could be anywhere in town. It could be
Lafayette Avenue. I just didn't want to

771
00:54:52,880 --> 00:55:00,319
have to go on central and the long way.
>> But that's what we're going to run into.

772
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:05,599
That's the kind of um obstacles push
back we're going to get. But I think

773
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:08,880
when people realize that we have had
um several that I know of for sure last

774
00:55:07,839 --> 00:55:08,880
year two near me miss miss miss miss

775
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:13,880
miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss

776
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:08,960
miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss
miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss

777
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,760
miss miss miss miss miss miss miss miss
miss miss miss miss misses and those are

778
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:16,400
the ones reported not everybody report
they don't go back and tell um

779
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:24,079
» I mean one of the reasons that the camp
is maybe we we didn't have as many near

780
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:29,839
misses because last year anytime the
kids cross we're

781
00:55:27,359 --> 00:55:34,079
» you know they it was being blocked by an
officer and what we're doing

782
00:55:31,839 --> 00:55:39,440
and the direct director. I mean, that's
the only reason, but it's specifically

783
00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:42,960
we have to do that because of that crazy
cut through.

784
00:55:40,079 --> 00:55:45,440
» So, now we're doing that with the camp.
So, that solves the issue for the camp.

785
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,920
It does.
>> So, that's an extra. We're bringing an

786
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:51,839
officer,
>> the officer comes down and and the w

787
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:55,280
director takes care or or the camp
director will take care of closing

788
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:58,960
closing off for those few minutes while
the kids walk down or actually some for

789
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,680
the most part they get dropped off down
there. So they don't have to walk down

790
00:56:00,079 --> 00:56:05,280
but they do it for when they walk back.
But that does all that does is we are

791
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:10,319
able to protect
>> the campers for that one walk. We're not

792
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:13,839
able to protect for the rest of the day.
>> We have to institute something like that

793
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,640
because of the cut through. Correct.
>> Right. I mean, still not that we

794
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:21,200
wouldn't walk the kids, you know, during
the time, but you know, it's even more

795
00:56:18,799 --> 00:56:24,799
we've got this extra blocking off that's
happening just for

796
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:29,200
» I I think and what I'm suggesting is at
least for now, I'm just suggesting the

797
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:33,760
council think about just during camp
season and pool season. I'm not during

798
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:37,440
that should honestly that should not be
a cutthrough for anything because it's

799
00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:41,839
just wear and tear, wear and tear. And
we also do have uh senior groups that

800
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,960
are there. I mean,
>> it's not as frequent.

801
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:49,839
» People coming and going to coaches,
>> but at the end of the day, that's what's

802
00:56:46,559 --> 00:56:51,520
happening. That's a cut through and I
can't stand that because it's wear and

803
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,440
tear.
>> I anytime I've ever been down in the

804
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,559
pool, there's always somebody flying
through that lot.

805
00:56:56,319 --> 00:56:59,520
» Yeah.
>> The day we did the Pro Lodge Day of

806
00:56:58,079 --> 00:57:02,799
Impact, they were staging out there
getting stuff into the into the cars. We

807
00:57:01,359 --> 00:57:06,160
almost got hit three times. Yeah.
>> And then somebody actually had the

808
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:09,040
audacity to lean on their horn because
we were in their way as they were trying

809
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:13,920
to fly through that. People were doing
that with the with the truck like the

810
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:17,359
the the tractor thingy. What are those
things called? A front loader. Uh when

811
00:57:15,839 --> 00:57:20,640
they were putting the mulch in and
people were just like this person was

812
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:23,280
honking on the horn. I like walked
around. I'm like,

813
00:57:21,359 --> 00:57:27,280
» is there a gate at the other end?
>> There's there's a there's a it's not the

814
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:31,119
trial gate. It's actually the black gate
that matches the fence.

815
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:36,319
» Would it make more sense to maybe close
that one as opposed to on Duvier?

816
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,720
» Chief, you want to speak to that one?
>> Yeah, cuz they'll get all the way

817
00:57:37,359 --> 00:57:46,200
through. I'll go through
>> the main entrance.

818
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,200
It's a wider open

819
00:57:47,609 --> 00:57:53,440
[clears throat]
>> and the kids play basketball during the

820
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:57,680
summer camp right there as well. I know
we use the big blue

821
00:57:55,839 --> 00:58:01,680
barriers, but
>> they're going back and forth. It's not

822
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:08,960
like they only cross that the one time.
>> I think if if if we do close it, um I

823
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:12,480
don't know. We have to definitely let
>> we need signage

824
00:58:10,319 --> 00:58:17,920
» that that it's being closed. Yeah. So
that barrier a barrier cross duty there

825
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:21,599
with a sign saying I I mean we could hit
all kinds of I know we make jokes every

826
00:58:20,319 --> 00:58:23,760
five minutes like oh put in the hour
town but we would put in the hour town.

827
00:58:23,359 --> 00:58:25,680
» Um
>> the hour town

828
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,559
» we joke around like
>> the physical signs of

829
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:33,440
» we would and we would put it we would
put it on the digital sign. Hey this is

830
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:37,599
closed. um is during this time get you
know um they have those signs like that

831
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:41,520
we could put right there on the corner
like as of such and such a date this

832
00:58:40,319 --> 00:58:44,640
road will be closed.
>> Yeah. I think that with the chief uh one

833
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,720
of the things I talked about with the
chief one of the things that popped up

834
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:55,040
was like that the you know those signs
that almost say um uh like wet when the

835
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:59,200
ground's wet you put it up it's like a
triangle. Something similar to that. not

836
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:03,040
as flimsy obviously, but something like
that that's that's there that just

837
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:06,960
basically speaks to this is closed
during this time because I I don't think

838
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:10,000
if you put some and it's right there
because if you put something that's like

839
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:14,640
a on a on a pole or something, it's
easily missed and you don't

840
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,559
» you're talking about ava electronic
signed. I think I

841
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,079
» Are you talking about electronic sign or
a sign?

842
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,960
» Electronic sign. I think that's what
she's talking about. electronic sign

843
00:59:21,359 --> 00:59:24,640
like the ones that say like road work
happening here

844
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:27,680
» construction
>> like the construction coming

845
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:31,599
» is indicating that's not what he wants
>> I think just I think just what I think

846
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,160
what do they I forgot what they call
those signs

847
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:38,480
» like a warning like a yellow sign or
something that says

848
00:59:35,119 --> 00:59:40,799
» a sandwich sign you're think
>> would you like to

849
00:59:39,359 --> 00:59:45,440
» a plastic folding sign
>> yeah put it on Lennox Avenue at so you

850
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,319
can see it as you're coming down the
block can't put it on the side of the

851
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:52,000
road
>> gate closed then can and leave.

852
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,760
Otherwise, everybody's going to go down
beer and now you're going to have

853
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,640
» and would you put it also at Lennox and
Maywood Avenue

854
00:59:57,359 --> 01:00:04,160
» to stop them from
>> But I think after you guys make a

855
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:08,079
decision to close it, you do a rave, you
get the signs made, you give a deadline

856
01:00:06,319 --> 01:00:11,040
when it's and then that's it.
>> And then people that don't know are

857
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:14,400
going to cut down Lennox. They're going
to see it before they get to do and

858
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:17,040
they're going to turn on.
>> Yeah.

859
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:20,160
» And go around.
>> Will help. Sorry.

860
01:00:18,559 --> 01:00:23,440
» So if we [laughter]
The re the reason why we couldn't

861
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:25,520
» she just made a scrabble a word of
search for that.

862
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:28,240
» There's a there's people that live on
they live on there. So,

863
01:00:26,559 --> 01:00:32,240
» right. You can't close that. And will we
reopen it at 8:00 once the pool is

864
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,240
closed or are we keeping it closed?
>> No, just it's going to be locked. It

865
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,799
would just
>> for the whole summer season.

866
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,960
» Yes. Yeah.
>> Okay.

867
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:43,599
» And then just keep everybody safe. And I
would ask that when you send out the

868
01:00:40,559 --> 01:00:50,480
messaging that the just my opinion as
the editor uh the first thing you know

869
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:54,160
for you know the utmost safety of of
children and pedestrians the decision

870
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:57,359
has been made so people understand that
this is like a safety issue.

871
01:00:55,920 --> 01:01:00,400
» Editor for as minute I just thought the
newspaper I was like did you

872
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:04,000
» No no no I'm not the newspaper editor.
I'm just an editor editor.

873
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:08,480
» I get it. I get it. But but to put that
first that this is about this is you

874
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:13,280
know it in you know with the with the
children and pedestrian safety being of

875
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:16,880
utmost importance the difficult decision
has been made toah

876
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:19,760
no but in the messaging.
>> Yeah. I mean we get listen I I I think

877
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:24,960
this
>> I think it should have it

878
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:27,920
» we should have this is something I would
I would have done this when I was the

879
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:32,160
mayor. I would have the council we would
have put this together. I didn't think

880
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:36,400
of it. You guys actually did it. Yeah.
>> But then, you know, when people

881
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,920
» when people complain,
>> we have to have the courage of our

882
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:42,880
convictions. And I don't think our, you
know, it's one thing for a police

883
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:49,599
officer
who is trained to do traffic control, to

884
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:55,040
be stopping traffic, but to have our
wreck director down there do, you know,

885
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:57,760
holding off mad drivers with her body is
like insane. And that we had someone

886
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:02,240
doing that.
>> Young kids [clears throat] get verbally

887
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:05,599
abused. She shouldn't have to do that.
It's it's

888
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,960
» Can we the the pool membership? Don't we
have all their

889
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,200
» Yes, we can.
>> Yeah, we have we

890
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:12,079
» that's our target audience.
>> We have their emails

891
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,400
» people cutting through
>> from community pass.

892
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,680
» You know who else?
>> Well, I don't care.

893
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:20,480
» The business I agree with Ryan on that.
The businesses on Brook Avenue need to

894
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:23,920
be notified too.
>> Yeah.

895
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:27,839
» Community that and I think we should
think about working on Halcraftoft next

896
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:32,319
» but I don't want to get ahead of
ourselves.

897
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:36,319
» Yeah. talk if we're eliminating
>> fire tonight, sir. [laughter]

898
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:40,160
» All right. Shall we move the things
along? I I would like to say the air

899
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:43,040
conditioning has come on. So, now we've
gotten into

900
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:45,280
» Where are we with this? Where do we
leave off?

901
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:48,480
» It sounds like Well, is everyone in
agreement? Do we need a motion or a

902
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,720
resolution, John, or is it just Does
anyone object?

903
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,640
» I mean, the gates's in place already.
It's just a matter of locking

904
01:02:51,599 --> 01:02:56,000
» to the plan that we have.
>> What would the date be that we're giving

905
01:02:54,319 --> 01:02:59,359
that this thing is closed?
>> The camp started already. No, I know.

906
01:02:57,839 --> 01:03:00,720
But we can't just close it. I mean, we
can

907
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:04,400
» I don't know how long it takes to make
signs up. So, I mean, to get

908
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,880
» How long does it take you to make a
sign?

909
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:11,599
» Gary's not here. Um,
>> well, then it can be faster.

910
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:14,799
» Maybe as of July 1st. It's the 23rd.
That gives a week.

911
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,640
» I I'll find out from Gary tomorrow.
>> Okay. I mean, really, as soon as

912
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:21,119
possible.
>> Do we even need this? I I'm I But I know

913
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:25,200
we've bered the sign thing. Can't we do
lawn signs which could be printed in

914
01:03:23,039 --> 01:03:29,359
like two or three days and they're back
front and back and we can put them on

915
01:03:27,359 --> 01:03:32,559
the corners of Maywood still.
>> It's a lot easier to say I I missed

916
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:37,039
that. I didn't see it. You know,
>> we buy 10 of them and line them down.

917
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:40,319
» I I think that I I hear what you're
saying, but I think to the chief's

918
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:43,760
point, it's it's in it's there. You
can't miss it in the road. It's a lot

919
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:47,280
easier to ignore signs that are on a
lawn because I mean they're they're

920
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:50,000
ubiquous. They're everywhere. one says,
you know,

921
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:54,240
» I'm trying to go for expediency and and
visual. If you got 10 of these signs

922
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:58,720
lined up and it say road closed, you
know, duvier closed [clears throat] as

923
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:04,960
» could, for the sake of moving things
along, c can we is it amanable to

924
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:08,720
everybody if the chief and Adrian and
Gary put their heads together with the

925
01:04:07,359 --> 01:04:12,319
understanding that we want everybody to
be safe and we want this to happen as

926
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:17,599
quickly as possible and you will keep us
surprised. And if anyone has a

927
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:22,480
completely massive objection, please
alert the hounds. Okay. Is that fair?

928
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,680
Can we do that? All right. Let's move
on.

929
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,920
» Okay.
>> Um, so what what are we up to, Barbara?

930
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:30,079
» Uh, I was just I was actually
>> Oh, you're not done.

931
01:04:28,799 --> 01:04:32,880
» No, that was a You brought me to
>> There's more. Wait,

932
01:04:31,359 --> 01:04:37,599
» there is there actually isn't more, but
I just I was about to say um That's it.

933
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:40,480
» Do you want to There was the senior
center. You were going to say something

934
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:43,359
about that. No, you don't want to. Just
say it quickly. Don't look at me in that

935
01:04:42,799 --> 01:04:49,280
tone.
>> The the senior center is uh being

936
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:52,880
remodeled the out front, the outside re
um

937
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:57,440
» something rehabed. Rehabbed
>> rehabilitated. We have the samples

938
01:04:54,799 --> 01:05:03,280
upstairs uh for of the stone of the
siding of the colors. So, anybody wants

939
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:07,760
to take a look um once we pick a final
color, the architect has already done

940
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:11,760
the design. He'll put that into the mix.
we be he'll spit out one of those things

941
01:05:09,599 --> 01:05:15,440
where you could look at it on an easel,
>> an elevation.

942
01:05:12,799 --> 01:05:19,039
» There you go. And then from there,
>> it's a go.

943
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:24,559
» We're going to have to go out to bid
obviously

944
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:30,640
» and um this money has been bonded for
>> uh and it's ready. It'll be ready to go.

945
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:35,680
hope is to have this taken place if we
can coincide with the the ending of the

946
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:38,319
camp and the beginning of the the
umenior

947
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:42,400
» senior club season
>> with the bids with the bid process

948
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:45,440
» and if that can fall into place
everything works out we might be able to

949
01:05:43,839 --> 01:05:47,039
do that work in between.
>> Yeah.

950
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:51,440
» Um
>> make sure you unlock the gate. So

951
01:05:49,119 --> 01:05:57,200
everyone go get up there and look at
that if not tonight at some other point

952
01:05:53,920 --> 01:06:02,079
so you can see it and and yes we needed
the designs because it has to go out to

953
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:05,920
bed. So that's why that happened. Um all
righty then. Um

954
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:10,400
» so could we bond for our offices next
year

955
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:12,160
» so we can have privacy in our offices?
>> Getting crazy now.

956
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:15,520
» Just throwing that out there.
>> Just throw it out there. So, um, on the

957
01:06:15,039 --> 01:06:21,920
list,
>> we're on to committee reports. Should I

958
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:25,200
do the mayor's report or
>> did he give you a report?

959
01:06:23,039 --> 01:06:29,440
» He didn't give me his report other than
to talk about

960
01:06:27,599 --> 01:06:35,839
» the thing. I mean, I can just quickly do
my report. Um, which isn't that

961
01:06:32,319 --> 01:06:42,640
complicated. We had an excellent
meeting. Uh we actually got a small

962
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:48,720
grant from sustainable Jersey for the
SJPSG energy efficiency efficiency

963
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:54,480
partnership program.
It's a $2500 grant program, but it's

964
01:06:51,599 --> 01:06:59,599
also technical assistance and Tara,
Doug, Adrian, and I had a an initial

965
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:04,559
like a kickoff meeting. Uh we're going
to have a few more meetings and the

966
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:12,319
whole point of this is to put together a
uh community outreach campaign uh so

967
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:15,599
that we can educate the community about
existing

968
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,880
energy efficiency programs that will
help them save money on their electric

969
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:22,240
bills and make their house more energy
efficient. It's there's actually a lot

970
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:29,039
of good programs available that people
don't know about. And one of the things

971
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:32,480
that's besides the $2,500 that's nice is
there's actually additional money

972
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:36,319
available
um like up to 5,000 I think she said for

973
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:40,559
other sorts of things like we were
talking about tablets to sign people in

974
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:46,160
to programs and things like that. Um so
there's potentially more money but they

975
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:52,319
are also willing to do a mailing for us
which a mailing is like $3,000. So

976
01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:58,000
that's a great, you know, once it's all
designed, they're going to give us a

977
01:07:54,640 --> 01:08:01,680
page, like a desk, a landing page for
information about Maywood and energy

978
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:05,760
efficiency. So we'll be able to send
people to this website. They're also

979
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:09,200
going to help us with collateral like
door hangers and other sorts of things.

980
01:08:07,359 --> 01:08:13,280
So, they're bringing a lot of help and
we're going to be able to help the

981
01:08:10,799 --> 01:08:18,159
residents and uh we did sort of figure
out in the meeting that we're going to

982
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:22,799
be able to use this uh you know once we
get this stood up and we have this um

983
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:28,239
infrastructure in place to communicate
with everybody when prologus gets going

984
01:08:25,679 --> 01:08:32,560
and their community solar project gets
approved we'll be able to use what we've

985
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:36,960
created to communicate with the public
about that and perhaps other things. So,

986
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:41,759
it, you know, it seems like a good
program. We have a couple more meetings

987
01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:44,880
set up and we have an a few assignments
and I'm supposed to be sending an email

988
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:50,400
reminding everybody about what they're
doing and I will do that. Um, I also

989
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:56,799
because uh going on with green team
would like to thank the uh Green Team

990
01:08:53,759 --> 01:09:02,799
Maywood Arts Collective and the Maywood
Crochet Club for their yarn bomb textile

991
01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:07,359
art installation on Pleasant Avenue. Um,
they do this every year. I believe

992
01:09:05,279 --> 01:09:13,359
there's actually an international yarn
bomb day. Um, but it's just a fun,

993
01:09:11,199 --> 01:09:19,120
wonderful art project that they bring to
the down downtown area. It's very

994
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:23,679
whimsical and um, so it's fun to see the
work that they've done over the year.

995
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:27,920
They who knew, right? They um, they're
picking it up tomorrow in case anybody

996
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:31,279
is curious about that. It's just a short
period of time. Um, and they're still

997
01:09:29,759 --> 01:09:33,839
looking for people to come to the green
fair. So, if you know of any

998
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:40,319
organizations that would be appropriate
for that, please turn them on to Tara.

999
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:44,480
Uh, Shade Tree is still collecting um
names for people who are interested in

1000
01:09:41,839 --> 01:09:49,279
getting trees for the fall planting. And
the other uh big excitement in the

1001
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:55,040
Burough of Maywood this week was that
the mobile motor vehicle

1002
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:59,840
commission uh I'm like, what does MVC
stand for actually? Motor vehicle

1003
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:06,480
commission. Uh the mobile unit came to
Maywood on Saturday. Uh the you know

1004
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:10,560
they bring this big trailer. They went
to the library. It's always a very last

1005
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:13,920
minute thing apparently when they do it
on a Saturday. They call you on Tuesday

1006
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:21,920
and you need to stand this up by
Saturday. So Caitlyn uh who was very

1007
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:26,480
helpful and agreeable about doing
something seemingly very last minute.

1008
01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:32,000
She jumped into action. And we got
Adrian got the flyers updated. We got

1009
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:36,239
the information out to everybody. Um
people were able to get real IDs and

1010
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:40,480
other things by appointment. You were
able to do things walk up. Uh every

1011
01:10:38,480 --> 01:10:46,080
single appointment they had was filled.
The uh truck was busy from the minute

1012
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:51,600
they opened to the minute they closed.
Uh it they had uh Spanish speaking staff

1013
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:57,360
there, so they were able to help people
in uh you know who needed that. and we

1014
01:10:54,880 --> 01:11:02,400
serve they served over 106 people over
the course of the day. So it was an

1015
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:07,520
absolute rip roaring success and uh just
want to thank Caitlyn and Chris Hillman

1016
01:11:04,719 --> 01:11:11,920
of the DMV for bringing them to us. I
asked him to sign us up for future dates

1017
01:11:10,159 --> 01:11:15,920
and he said he would keep us in mind but
he's got a lot of people in front of us

1018
01:11:13,440 --> 01:11:21,760
now. Uh and anyway with that concludes
my report. Uh so who we got? Katherine

our next agenda. There's a group um the

1028
01:11:52,080 --> 01:12:00,239
Northeastern Community Council for the
MS Society came and did a mapping

1029
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:06,000
project of walkability of Maywood. So,
they just wanted to come and present

1030
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:07,840
their findings like 10 15 minute uh
thing.

1031
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:11,440
» Oh, interesting.
>> That's cool. Thank you.

1032
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,760

01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:30,640
» Of course,
>> for at least having a report unlike the

1038
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:34,560
rest of these guys. Um, okay. So, now
we're on to new business resolutions for

1039
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:39,760
consideration.
Um, does any how does everyone feel

1040
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:46,480
about this resolution urging the New
Jersey state legislature and governor to

1041
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:52,880
repeal the gas tax escalator and restore
accountability to fuel tax increase?

1042
01:12:50,159 --> 01:12:56,480
Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions,
any interest?

1043
01:12:54,719 --> 01:12:58,960
» Are there other towns? Obviously, this
is

1044
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:04,080
» why that's why I sent it because a lot
of towns are now passing this and

1045
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:07,920
spreading it around.
I have to be honest, I don't know much

1046
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:12,000
about it or what the implications of it
are. So, I don't feel like I'm

1047
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:15,120
particularly prepared to
speak for or against it. Does anyone

1048
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:19,685
else have any thoughts?
>> I think if lots of other towns are doing

1049
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:23,040
it, we should just hop on the bandwagon.
[laughter]

1050
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:27,440
» Okay. How does everybody feel?
>> I definitely feel like we should very

1051
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:31,120
least put it on the agenda and so we
could all look at it and discuss it.

1052
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:36,080
» All right. So, I'll list it as old
business next month. Okay. So, everyone

1053
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:39,760
take a look, see what there is to see.
We can ask

1054
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:42,400
I don't know. We can ask, you know,
maybe it's a good idea to ask Lisa and

1055
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,320
Chris if they can tell us what it's all
about. They might be able to give us

1056
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,880
some information.
>> And to Cla's point,

1057
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:49,199
» it's probably self-explanatory. Usually
they are when they ask you to support

1058
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,719
something.
>> So, please everyone take a look and read

1059
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:55,120
it and we'll [clears throat]
discuss it next meeting.

1060
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:58,960
» I was just going to say to Cla's point,
there's usually um strength in numbers.

1061
01:13:57,679 --> 01:14:02,400
These are the kind of things when you
get the whole all the municipalities as

1062
01:14:01,199 --> 01:14:05,040
many as possible at least.
>> Well, we have to make sure it's all

1063
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,239
sometimes you get thrown these things
and then find out that there's

1064
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:11,360
» if this assuming that this is something
that's good for New Jersey and the

1065
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:14,719
residents and the more municipalities
you get on board.

1066
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,600
» That's when things move.
>> So, let's hope it is good after

1067
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:20,480
reviewing it. Let's hope it is good for
the town for the communities.

1068
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:26,480
» That would be great. And then we have
the Bergen County Snow Plow salting

1069
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:29,760
agreement for 2026 2028. So this is here
because it's new. Are there any changes

1070
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:32,960
here we need to be alarmed about? This
is the county.

1071
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:40,480
» Well, no. This is what we So what this
agreement does is the county pays us for

1072
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:45,840
our workers who all the county roads and
>> they supply the salt.

1073
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:51,040
» They Right. So after snowstorms, Gary
provides me with the individuals and the

1074
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:54,080
hours they worked on what streets and
then we submit that and the county pays

1075
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:57,199
us.
>> Okay.

1076
01:14:54,640 --> 01:15:00,159
» For towards the hours going up what
they're paying us then. Yeah. Okay.

1077
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:03,440
» Because of the new contract.
>> So do this for the new to for Yeah. for

1078
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,239
two years.
>> So what do you need us to do here? Agree

1079
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:09,920
to put it on the next meeting or do you
want to approve at this meeting?

1080
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:13,280
» No, for the next meeting. We have time.
Um,

1081
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:17,840
then we already discussed the proposal
from Neglia. There's a block party

1082
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:22,480
request for Edel Avenue. Uh, they're
having a party on August 8th if anybody

1083
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:27,440
wants to stop by. No, I'm kidding. Um,
shall we uh approve that? Are there any

1084
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,360
objections?
>> Oh,

1085
01:15:28,159 --> 01:15:33,280
» does um
>> Oh, we we got the response from the

1086
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:37,280
police chief, the fire chief. They've
supplied their um certificate of

1087
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:38,400
insurance and they've signed the hold
harmless.

1088
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:43,760
» Okay.
>> Okay. Okay, thank you. Good question,

1089
01:15:40,719 --> 01:15:49,520
Claire. Um, all right. So then I guess
we that is approved and the bylaws. So

1090
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:52,719
what do we need to do with this? Do we
need to p pass

1091
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:59,600
» a first and a second and a vote?
>> Okay, so we've amended the bylaws

1092
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:06,080
to correct
that the municipal alliance was moving

1093
01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:10,320
uh moved from Jackie now Kyla to Doug.
Uh that was actually something we agreed

1094
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:17,120
to in December and got lost in our reorg
shuffle. And we are just officially

1095
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:22,159
stating that all of Jackie's committee
assignments or committee positions and

1096
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:28,640
liaison positions are now going to be
taken over by Kyla. Um so I just need a

1097
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:31,760
first and a second to
>> approve. So Doug,

1098
01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:33,920
» I'll second.
>> Okay. On roll call. Bennon,

1099
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,520
» yes.
>> Herrick,

1100
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,640
» yes. Pavano,
>> yes.

1101
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,600
» Almond,
>> yes.

1102
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,520
» Flynn,
>> yes.

1103
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:44,880
» Motion carries.
>> Okay. So, here we are with garbage, our

1104
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:48,640
favorite topic. Um,
>> garbage.

1105
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:51,840
» My understanding, and Barbara, you can
clarify because you'll know more about

1106
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:56,080
this probably at this point than I do.
This is basically the bid document going

1107
01:16:54,080 --> 01:17:00,320
out. So, you guys got a chance to look
at it hopefully. Um, we do need to get

1108
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:04,320
it out because I believe the contract's
up in what, August?

1109
01:17:02,159 --> 01:17:08,000
» It's up in September. We're already in
going to be doing a month month with GA

1110
01:17:06,159 --> 01:17:10,000
because I have to advertise it and we
cannot accept bids for six months.

1111
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,280
» Yeah.
>> Six months.

1112
01:17:10,719 --> 01:17:14,640
» Six months.
>> Okay. So, we have to get crack in here.

1113
01:17:13,440 --> 01:17:17,600
Obviously, there was a couple of
highlights where the dates were wrong

1114
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:20,239
and I'm assuming those are going to get
fixed.

1115
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:24,480
» Well, yes, because that right because it
depends on me getting the approval

1116
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:28,560
» that you guys were good with it. So, I'm
going to change the date

1117
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,920
» because that's the last
>> No.

1118
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,280
» Okay. Well, no, that wasn't the last
time.

1119
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:36,560
» It was highlighted so I knew you caught
it already. Um

1120
01:17:32,719 --> 01:17:43,360
» yeah, so um Councilwoman Smith's name is
going to be change going to be replaced,

1121
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:46,400
uh Jackie Demorro. Um the dates of when
the bid is going to be available for

1122
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:52,560
pickup, when the bids are going to be
coming back, and then the alternate bids

1123
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:59,199
include the suggestion for the once a
week and for the recycling. um if a

1124
01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:01,280
recycling falls on a major holiday that
it would be picked up the following

1125
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,520
Saturday
>> and it's clear those are like optional

1126
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:08,880
options or
>> they're alter

1127
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:14,320
but it but they're optional like are
we're not requiring everybody to

1128
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:16,080
» but what do we decide are they I don't
think they're required to bid on all the

1129
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:19,280
models
>> I don't think they're yeah they're not

1130
01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:23,199
required because you don't have to you
know if you like garbage from one

1131
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:26,000
company but you like recycling from
another company if you you can do two

1132
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:29,120
different companies.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1133
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:31,920
» And and if they don't want to bid on the
once a week, they don't have to. But

1134
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:35,199
we're not because I want to make sure
that we get as many companies bidding as

1135
01:18:34,159 --> 01:18:36,480
possible because that's
>> no matter what you do, you're not going

1136
01:18:36,159 --> 01:18:39,679
to get
>> you're only going to get one. But, you

1137
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:42,800
know, I don't want us to do anything to
make it worse.

1138
01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:46,080
» If you if you're lucky, you may get two.
>> Yeah.

1139
01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:49,600
» Because you only got one last one.
>> Yeah. I Well, we don't want to drive the

1140
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:53,920
one away either. No. [laughter]
>> So, if that's the only thing. All right.

1141
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:56,880
Does anybody have any corrections in
addition to the ones that have been

1142
01:18:55,360 --> 01:19:01,840
identified?
>> No. So, uh, Barbara, what do we have to

1143
01:18:59,679 --> 01:19:03,520
do tomorrow and get it advertised?
>> All right. So, you don't need a vote on

1144
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:07,440
that.
>> No, we already have a resolution for me

1145
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:10,320
to go out to to advertise. I just wanted
to make sure everybody was good with the

1146
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:14,800
alternates.
>> All right. So, now we are on to the

1147
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:20,239
consent agenda.
Um,

1148
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:25,640
I just I'm sorry. I have to actually
check one thing really quickly. Um,

1149
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:34,960
h
hold please. One. Oh, Barbara.

1150
01:19:32,719 --> 01:19:39,920
» Oh, it's me. It's me. And I'm just not
being smart. Hold on one second. So, has

1151
01:19:38,239 --> 01:19:45,679
everybody had a chance to look at all of
these? And uh do we have to form a block

1152
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:49,920
and then vote or just vote?
>> No, it's a consent agenda. It's a block.

1153
01:19:48,159 --> 01:19:50,960
It's we don't do blocks anymore.
>> Okay.

1154
01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:54,800
» It's a consent.
>> I always feel like that we should do the

1155
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:59,840
blocks. Okay. Uh
>> consent agenda is the block

1156
01:19:56,480 --> 01:20:02,239
» and then we do motion motion discussion.
Is that the order or do we discuss

1157
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,640
first?
>> You could do the motions and then

1158
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:09,760
discuss.
>> All right. Um so motion to move ahead

1159
01:20:08,239 --> 01:20:11,120
with the consent agenda. I'll make the
motion.

1160
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:16,320
» Second.
>> Second.

1161
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:20,320
» Okay. I have a question. Um,
does anybody else have a question?

1162
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:27,120
First, let me ask.
No, no question. Uh, I just wanted to

1163
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:33,520
talk about the number that we are doing
on the 15626

1164
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:35,840
and see if are we allowed to talk about
this?

1165
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:40,640
» What do you mean the number?
>> The rate. The hourly rate.

1166
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:44,960
Yeah. Well,
Karen's officially an employee that

1167
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:48,800
hasn't been raced,
>> but this is now a new resolution for a

1168
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:50,159
new position.
>> John,

1169
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:52,400
» wait.
>> You're going to discuss an employee

1170
01:20:51,440 --> 01:20:56,800
that's supposed to be raised.
>> Wait, wait, one second. One second. I'm

1171
01:20:53,840 --> 01:21:00,320
sorry. Are you asking Are you asking
about the rate for the new employee or

01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,719
for the current employee that's moving
up? a

1173
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:06,600
» current employee that's moving up
>> the Well, it would

1174
01:21:06,719 --> 01:21:11,280
» If you're going to change the
compensation down, she has to be right.

1175
01:21:10,239 --> 01:21:13,920
» No, it's going up.
>> No, she's getting a raise. It's just how

1176
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:16,640
» she's going to the same.
>> No, but if it's being it's going if it's

1177
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:20,480
going to be different than what she was
told, it has to be discussed.

01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:22,239
» I mean, it has she has to receive a rice
notice.

1179
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:26,560
» Yeah. You just if you're just
questioning what she's already going to

1180
01:21:24,480 --> 01:21:28,239
get and you're not going to change what
she's already been told, then you're

1181
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:34,159
fine.
>> Correct. It's the same as what the um

1182
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:38,320
the council approved. It's the same
number the council approved for the

1183
01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:41,960
director had that director been able to
take over this year.

1184
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:47,199
» I don't know what I can say.
>> I think you need to say that based on

1185
01:21:45,440 --> 01:21:49,679
what then she needs to be raced

consent
>> consent agenda.

1187
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:56,159
» Wait, I'm not understanding. It's
>> Well, we haven't discussed the amount.

1188
01:21:54,719 --> 01:21:59,120
Well, now I mean I can't really talk
about this. Is it possible for us? We

1189
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:02,080
can't go into closed.
>> Well, wait. This is the amount that you

1190
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:05,520
guys approved for the
>> or a different person with different

1191
01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:09,360
with different certifications and
different qualifications.

1192
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:13,360
» I don't think we're in a position where
we can mess around with with the camp

1193
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,880
director.
>> She's already started.

1194
01:22:14,480 --> 01:22:17,760
» Yes.
>> Yeah. No, you can't.

1195
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:22,639
» What are we doing here?
>> She's already started. You can't change

1196
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:27,199
the salary.
>> We didn't off We didn't authorize.

1197
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:32,000
You didn't authorize this. We didn't
want this. She the the the

1198
01:22:30,159 --> 01:22:37,360
assistant director
>> is had to take over for the director who

1199
01:22:35,440 --> 01:22:40,080
we appointed because the director had
health issues with you guys.

1200
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:43,320
» And did you tell her what her salary was
going today?

1201
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,960
» Well, it's on the
>> Well, it's on it's on her website.

1202
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:53,199
» Yeah.
>> And And how when did she start?

1203
01:22:51,440 --> 01:22:54,560
» She started Monday.
>> Okay.

1204
01:22:53,520 --> 01:22:57,840
» I mean, she she would have started
Monday. she would have started working

1205
01:22:56,080 --> 01:23:02,239
Monday anyway as the assistant.
>> So, so, right, but then she's got she

1206
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:06,480
has the other title and she's under the
impression that she's getting blank

1207
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:09,600
dollars. She that's in her mind and if
we're going to change that, she has to

1208
01:23:08,159 --> 01:23:13,280
be right because she's a present
employee and you may be taking a

1209
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:15,840
negative action against her.
>> Negative action. You reduce her salary.

1210
01:23:15,199 --> 01:23:19,360
That's
>> not getting reduced. She's not making

1211
01:23:17,679 --> 01:23:23,360
anything. She's just being paid
currently what she was appointed at in

1212
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:25,760
the beginning of the year. So she ha she
hasn't been given any increase. This

1213
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,320
would be the
>> I think what John is saying is

1214
01:23:27,199 --> 01:23:30,639
» No, I know what John's saying. This is
the

1215
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,719
» from the resolution. She needs to be
rice noticed.

1216
01:23:31,679 --> 01:23:36,159
» Correct.
>> This So okay. So as long as there's no

1217
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:37,600
change, there's no issue.
>> You're fine.

1218
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:41,040
» Yeah.
>> Well,

1219
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:44,320
» I don't know that we want to be messing
with the camp at this point.

1220
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:48,960
» It's not about messing with the camp.
It's just about that.

1221
01:23:46,239 --> 01:23:53,199
» All right. Well, how does everyone feel
about this? Do you want to table this?

1222
01:23:51,199 --> 01:23:57,600
get Bryce notice her and have a quick
meeting in two days to discuss it or

1223
01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:01,520
» it's up to you. I'm just saying that
that's what we needed to do to take it

1224
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:04,639
off. That's up to you.
>> Well, I I would like to know what each

1225
01:24:03,199 --> 01:24:07,199
of you would like to do. Do you want to
wait and do it in two days?

1226
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:12,239
» We can make a motion, a second to pull
the resolution and then we could vote on

1227
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:15,120
the first and second to pull that
resolution off the consent agenda.

1228
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:18,239
» Right. And then
>> and vote on that separately.

1229
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,920
» Vote on it separately. Either yes or no
or take

1230
01:24:18,639 --> 01:24:23,199
» Okay. So, let's pull it out of the
consent agenda. vote on the rest of the

1231
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:25,199
agenda. Okay.
>> All right. So,

1232
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:34,880
» you need a motion to pull it out.
>> I need a motion and a second to pull

1233
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:37,600
15626 off of the consent agenda.
>> Oh,

1234
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:41,840
do you guys want to pull it?
>> Yeah, that's fair.

1235
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:44,480
» I need a first and a second to pull it.
>> I was making the motion for the

1236
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:49,600
decision. If you want to pull it, then
make then make the motion.

1237
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:52,960
» Okay. So we're using So Doug, you're
making a first to remove this from the

1238
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:55,520
consent agenda.
>> Sure.

1239
01:24:54,239 --> 01:24:59,040
» And then
>> Claire's seconding it to remove it

1240
01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:05,520
» to to remove it from there. Sure.
>> Okay. So that's to remove. So on roll

1241
01:25:02,639 --> 01:25:06,960
call, Bennon,
>> yes.

1242
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,320
» Heric,
>> yes.

1243
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:09,440
» Pavano,
>> yes.

1244
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,960
» Man,
>> no.

1245
01:25:10,159 --> 01:25:14,239
» Flynn,
>> yes.

1246
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:18,960
» Okay, motion carries.
So now the consent agenda

1247
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:24,080
that we're voting on is everything
that's there minus 156-26.

1248
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:31,440
» I'll make the motion for the consent.
>> Yes. But before we do that, how long can

1249
01:25:28,239 --> 01:25:33,600
uh Topgolf hold on to that?
>> So discussion

1250
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:38,239
» liquor license discussion.
>> Discuss. So both of them, the two that

1251
01:25:36,239 --> 01:25:42,560
are inactive because we have Topgolf and
we have the UEE. The UEE also has a

1252
01:25:40,719 --> 01:25:43,679
liquor license that's inactive. What's
you

1253
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:47,360
» Urban Edge?
>> Oh, okay.

1254
01:25:44,639 --> 01:25:52,560
» Urban Edge bought the liquor license off
of the one down here where Amichi is.

1255
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:56,960
» He bought that one when he saw that the
>> the old.

1256
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:00,400
So he he purchased that when he saw that
Top Golf s was bought for a million

1257
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:06,080
dollars. I guess he figured he was going
to make So anyway,

1258
01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:13,440
» the state has now created quartiles.
So, the Top Golf, if it is not made

1259
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:18,000
active by August 1st of next year,
either by them or by selling it to

1260
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:23,440
somebody who's going to make it active
by August 1st next year, it's dead.

1261
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,520
» Excellent. Thank you.
>> So, that means we'll never get that

1262
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:31,280
back.
>> Never get that back. The Urban Edge one

1263
01:26:29,679 --> 01:26:36,800
because it's based the cortiles are
based on how long they've been inactive.

1264
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:42,320
So the urban edge one is the following
August 1st. Now I've notified both

1265
01:26:39,679 --> 01:26:43,360
» 2027 and 2028.
>> Yes.

1266
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:51,120
» Okay.
>> So I've notified each of them that I've

1267
01:26:47,199 --> 01:26:56,320
told Topgolf you have until you have to
either sell it to somebody or you have

1268
01:26:54,159 --> 01:27:00,800
to make it active or it's dead. There's
no bringing it back. I also let them

1269
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:04,480
know the same with Urban Edge
>> incentive for that.

1270
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:08,800
» If they sell it to somebody and somebody
comes into my office to do a transfer of

1271
01:27:06,719 --> 01:27:13,679
these two licenses that they have to be
honest with these people and tell them

1272
01:27:11,679 --> 01:27:20,320
it needs to be active by this date or
it's dead because I will be telling the

1273
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:26,159
people when it comes in, are you aware
that if you do not have this actively

1274
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:29,920
working by this date, it's done. So
that's where we're at. What is required?

1275
01:27:28,159 --> 01:27:33,920
What is required to have it actively
working?

1276
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:38,560
» It has to be in a location being used.
>> And I'm sorry, it's August 1st of 27 and

1277
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:43,280
» 28. Yes.
>> So, Top Golf 27, Urban Edge is 28.

1278
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:47,120
» Yeah.
>> So, that's where we're at. Have you both

1279
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,440
have been told
>> and you haven't heard anything from

1280
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,480
them?
>> Top Golf says they're trying to find

1281
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:56,639
somebody to buy it. Nobody wants to buy
it. I did get a phone call from somebody

1282
01:27:55,040 --> 01:28:00,800
asking
about um how long does it take to do it?

1283
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:04,159
So, I thought that there might be
somebody there, but they didn't want to

1284
01:28:02,719 --> 01:28:07,440
give me any information. So, I don't
know what they were asking, what license

1285
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:11,440
they were asking about.
>> Okay. Wow.

1286
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:17,360
» But yeah. So, yeah. And we'll never get
them back because we are over the um the

1287
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:22,800
allotted amount. Most of our liquor
licenses are grandfathered in.

1288
01:28:21,199 --> 01:28:27,360
» Thank you. your question.
>> Good question, Ryan. He's on the ball.

1289
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:29,520
» All right, then.
>> Okay, so

1290
01:28:28,480 --> 01:28:32,239
» we need a vote still.
>> We have Yeah, we have the first and the

1291
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:35,520
second for the vote for the consent
agenda. So, we have Bennon,

1292
01:28:34,159 --> 01:28:37,040
» yes.
>> Herrick,

1293
01:28:36,159 --> 01:28:39,199
» yes.
>> Pavano,

1294
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,639
» yes.
>> Man,

1295
01:28:39,679 --> 01:28:42,000
» yes.
>> And Flynn,

1296
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:46,239
» yes.
>> Motion carries on the consent agenda.

1297
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:51,120
» Okay, so
>> you need a motion to approve, deny, or

1298
01:28:48,159 --> 01:28:55,760
table. Okay. I just would like to pull
the council about what you would like to

1299
01:28:53,600 --> 01:29:01,280
do and you know because if everyone's
prepared to go ahead then we can go

1300
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:05,360
ahead and if people would like to rice
the employee to have a discussion about

1301
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:08,639
this topic together
um then we can do that and we I we could

1302
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:12,880
do it quickly. We can have a Zoom
meeting in a couple of days. Um

1303
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:16,651
» there is a 48 hour notice.
>> Yeah. Well that's what I meant when I

1304
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:20,320
said a couple.
>> [laughter]

1305
01:29:16,719 --> 01:29:25,280
» So, um, you know, I want you guys, we
haven't had an opportunity to discuss

1306
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:28,960
this, which is a little bit what I'm
getting at. So, how does

1307
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:31,600
» I have no problem leaving it on and
approving it as it stands.

1308
01:29:30,480 --> 01:29:34,719
» Okay. Claire,
>> I I agree with that.

1309
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:40,080
» Okay. So, then
>> Katherine and Ryan, well,

1310
01:29:38,239 --> 01:29:42,639
» I'm sorry. What What did you both say? I
apologize.

1311
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:46,199
» They said they have no problem going
ahead as is.

1312
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:48,400
Okay.
>> Yeah.

1313
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:52,800
» Right.
>> I mean, I don't if you have a big

1314
01:29:51,440 --> 01:29:57,199
objection though. I mean, I
>> I I want everyone to have the

1315
01:29:55,440 --> 01:30:00,239
opportunity.
Yeah. I understand what you're saying on

1316
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:05,199
and we didn't discuss.
>> I I I'm going to say that I understand

1317
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:10,480
what you're saying in in the idea of to
have the discussion is the only reason I

1318
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:14,800
would not just to to I don't know. I
don't know sort of procedural if you

1319
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:17,920
will. But I'm okay as it as it stands.
But to your point about

1320
01:30:16,719 --> 01:30:23,760
» yourself for future
>> not having had the discussion prior, I

1321
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:27,120
can understand we've we usually have a
discussion about something pertaining to

1322
01:30:25,199 --> 01:30:30,560
any employee and
>> just as a matter of procedure, I would

1323
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:33,679
have preferred there had been a rice
notice and we'd had a close session and

1324
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:38,239
we'd had a discussion. I would have
preferred that. Um and I think I'm just

1325
01:30:36,639 --> 01:30:40,880
putting a pin in that please for the
future. Thank you.

1326
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:45,360
» I don't disagree. I mean I agree. Okay.
There's basically With that,

1327
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:48,239
um,
>> a motion to approve.

1328
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:52,159
» Can I have a motion to approve on what
do I have to say?

1329
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,920
» 156-26.
>> I'll make the motion.

1330
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:57,360
» Second.
>> I'll second.

01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:02,880
» Man,
>> yes.

1335
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,239
» Flynn,
>> yes.

1336
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,239
» Motion carries.
>> Okay.

1337
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:15,120
» So,
where are we? Departmental reports.

1338
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:20,239
» Departmental reports are on file for all
to read if you are so interested.

1339
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:26,080
» And we have the Tanic.
>> Uh

1340
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:29,679
Mr. Brown, would you care to give a very
very very

1341
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:32,880
short Tanic report?
>> It's on file.

1342
01:31:30,719 --> 01:31:36,239
» It's on file. [laughter]
>> Do you want Can you keep it brief

1343
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:40,080
because we're tired?
>> What were John? Unless you have good

1344
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:43,360
news. Do you have good news? Are they
going to stop flying over Maywood?

1345
01:31:41,440 --> 01:31:46,560
» Or is it just the same?
>> Do they have a new button?

1346
01:31:44,639 --> 01:31:48,880
» It's not your fault that the tanic is
annoying.

1347
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:51,280
» Yeah, we take it out on you. I So I'm
sorry, John. We should only take out the

1348
01:31:50,239 --> 01:31:55,360
budget stuff on you.
>> I want you to be able to give your

1349
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:59,093
report. I just ask that you be, you
know, as

1350
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:00,719
» are quick as possible presentation.
[clears throat]

1351
01:31:59,748 --> 01:32:03,040
[laughter]
>> Slides.

1352
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:08,400
» No slides.
>> Dim the lights. Um there were three

1353
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:13,120
three reports to um three meetings to
report on. Um normally [clears throat]

1354
01:32:10,480 --> 01:32:19,040
it is one one every quarter. The first
was the community open forum which was

1355
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:23,360
which took place on March 31st. Purpose
of it was to give the public more of a

1356
01:32:21,199 --> 01:32:29,440
voice and to give them an opportunity to
learn more about it. Surprisingly, there

1357
01:32:25,760 --> 01:32:35,440
were 92 people that attended this online
at least. And um

1358
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:40,639
the actual meeting took place in the
middle of the day. Took place at 3:00,

1359
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:44,239
which I asked why did you do that? You
know, I I've never attended a public

1360
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:48,400
meeting in the middle of the day. People
are not home. Um so anyway, one of

1361
01:32:47,564 --> 01:32:53,360
[clears throat] the interesting points
was the most cited problem was not

1362
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:56,880
noise. And it was something I've been
harping on for quite some time. It's the

1363
01:32:55,920 --> 01:33:00,800
volume
>> of the planes going overhead. Yeah.

1364
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:05,360
» So other people are hearing the same
thing. Um

1365
01:33:03,199 --> 01:33:10,000
there was new voices. One was from
Marstown, New Jersey talking about

1366
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:14,000
planes that were coming over his house
heading to Cedar Barrow. Um

1367
01:33:13,109 --> 01:33:18,960
[clears throat]
and I asked the question beyond the 3:00

1368
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:23,280
meeting, why wasn't the consultant group
there? and I didn't get a positive

1369
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:28,400
answer on that. You think they would
have been concerned? The second meeting

1370
01:33:25,199 --> 01:33:35,120
was the actual quarterly tanic uh
meeting which took place on April 15th.

1371
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:41,520
There were more um town members not
attending than attending. Again, this

1372
01:33:38,239 --> 01:33:47,679
has been a ongoing thing. Um three of
the four FAA requests are on hold just

1373
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:54,400
like I reported last time. It seems like
they can't walk and chew gum at the same

1374
01:33:50,000 --> 01:34:02,880
time. Um I asked about uh they reported
about FIFA and this the um sale [snorts]

1375
01:33:58,239 --> 01:34:07,520
forth on the 250th anniversary. Uh they
expect a lot of extra traffic. Uh and

1376
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:13,280
the reason why they were preparing to
get the the runways and and all the

1377
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:19,040
projects done. Uh the one project that's
that wasn't done completely was the

1378
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:24,000
beacon relocation and the demolishing of
the uh control center. They got a new

1379
01:34:21,040 --> 01:34:28,480
tower up there. Um,
one other interesting thing, there was

1380
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:34,080
one member from the public was from
Paramis

1381
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:39,920
and he gave forth something I've been
proposing to this committee which was

1382
01:34:36,960 --> 01:34:44,719
there should be financial incentive to
get the pilots to use the alternate

1383
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:48,480
route.
And I didn't know this, but after I got

1384
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:53,040
the minutes, I looked him up and he was
a lawyer. And I'm thinking maybe he's,

1385
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:58,080
you know, looking for business. Well,
actually, he's right in line with the

1386
01:34:55,600 --> 01:35:02,960
runway as I am. So, you know, he's
complaining about it, too. There was an

1387
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:07,760
executive meeting. Oh, I felt honored.
Uh May 27th,

1388
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:12,400
um there was barely a quorum. Um there
were only two items. They talked about

1389
01:35:10,639 --> 01:35:17,280
uh an environmental study that's going
to be done for two new hangers that are

1390
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:21,920
going to be coming up. So if you had any
thoughts of this airport closing down,

1391
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:27,600
» I don't think people will be putting
money into it. Um

1392
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:32,880
there was also a talk um uh the second
item was um

1393
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:37,280
something we're we're not really
associated with which is the planes

1394
01:35:34,639 --> 01:35:43,600
coming up from the south. And right now
they take a direct line as they do

1395
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:48,639
coming south from the north to the
south.

1396
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:54,320
They're changing that to do a serpentine
almost looks like the same thing that's

1397
01:35:50,480 --> 01:35:58,400
being done with Route 4 with Route 17.
>> Uh so somebody beat me to the question,

1398
01:35:56,639 --> 01:36:04,320
you know, aren't you just doing the same
thing and you you're driving the traffic

1399
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:09,840
over it turns out to be North Arlington.
Um they didn't really have a good answer

1400
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:15,040
for that. And and I asked about if if
there's going to be flyovers for the

1401
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:19,840
July 4th and for the OP sale. They said
there are only going to be four

1402
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:24,639
helicopters, so we shouldn't hear jets
zooming overhead. Uh, actually, there'll

1403
01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:28,239
be jets, but they're going to be coming
from a different airport. And that's it.

1404
01:36:26,639 --> 01:36:31,040
» Thank you very much, Mr. Brown.
>> Hey, John. I know you have like a hard

1405
01:36:29,679 --> 01:36:34,400
time dealing with those people over
there. And and you know, I know you did

1406
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:38,181
your best on this, but I'm giving that
report a C minus, buddy. [laughter]

1407
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:44,076
» Oh, ouch.
[laughter]

1408
01:36:46,639 --> 01:36:54,960
So next we have the introduction of
ordinances with ordinance 826.

1409
01:36:52,639 --> 01:36:58,800
Do we have to read this whole thing? So
bond ordinance to authorize the making

1410
