The chip seal 195 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:40,860 road maintenance project is scheduled now for the week of September 14th. 196 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,020 Initially I thought it was going to be next week but because of some rain 197 00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:51,760 delay from this week and stuff like that has got pushed out for the 14th. The FB 198 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,700 modified road maintenance project is tentatively scheduled for the first 199 00:13:55,700 --> 00:14:06,360 week of October and then the Coldstone Road Bridge replacement project we have some important 200 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:13,600 dates coming up for that on the 22nd of September we are going to have a pre-construction meeting here at 201 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:22,620 8.30 in the morning to with the contractor to go through a more defined timeline process all that 202 00:14:22,620 --> 00:14:31,320 stuff the township engineer will be here the contractor and staff. Then on the September 203 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:38,820 24th we're going to schedule a we are scheduling a resident meeting for that bridge replacement 204 00:14:38,820 --> 00:14:46,140 that that bridge that affects the closure sorry the road closure that affects the residents 205 00:14:46,140 --> 00:14:52,780 in that area so that letter is going out tomorrow to the residents so that's 206 00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:59,420 going to be at 6 p.m. on the 24th. What I heard from 207 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,640 Our engineer is that the communication with the vendor that is doing the cement box culvert, 208 00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:20,140 which is monarch, is saying that they're potentially ready to be picked up or ready 209 00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:29,040 for release, I guess, is October 14th, and that's a tentative date, which means then 210 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:40,960 the contractor has requested to start doing some pre-mobilization and clearing of the 211 00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:49,360 easement areas, like cutting down trees, removing brush, that type of stuff to get the projects 212 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:56,540 like ready to go. They are going to also the week of and that's September 28th 213 00:15:56,540 --> 00:16:02,320 that week. They want to start installing the temporary pedestrian bridge as 214 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:09,880 well so they have all of that set for when the culvert is ready that they can 215 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,860 do the take that bridge out and put the box culvert in. 216 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,220 The update on that, the 217 00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:35,760 The other thing I want to talk about is a couple things on tonight's agenda is the resolution for the next funding application for the local share grant. 218 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,680 So LSA category 4, it's a request. 219 00:16:40,540 --> 00:16:48,560 The application request is for $200,000, which would be the very similar request from last year. 220 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,760 because we did not get that funding awarded to us last year. 221 00:16:52,860 --> 00:16:55,260 We were going to go back in and request it again, 222 00:16:56,060 --> 00:17:00,840 which is $200,000 towards the National Park Service grant 223 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,020 that was already awarded. 224 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,660 So that's on the agenda. 225 00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:10,920 The other thing is the $100,000 state funding for Barnett's 226 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:21,040 mill stabilization. I know both Rob and I were presented with the contract to sign for 227 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:31,560 that, so that's underway. And once we have the executed contract back, then we'll be eligible 228 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:39,440 to use that money. And that money we do have the ability to do extensions for the use of 229 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,820 that money. Therefore, if the Friends of Barnett's Mill is not ready to fully take on that 230 00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:55,180 project or fund that project, we do have the ability to extend it through the DCED. 231 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,400 And then the, let's see, I think. 232 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:08,060 So Jill, quick question on that. So, for the past two meetings, we've had Friends of Barnett's 233 00:18:08,060 --> 00:18:09,920 they're working to complete their business plan. 234 00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:11,120 Where are we with that? 235 00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:13,740 And maybe we need to put a deadline in place 236 00:18:13,740 --> 00:18:17,620 to say we need to have a business plan by X time. 237 00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:19,460 Cause I wanna say it's been over a year 238 00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:21,480 that it's constantly on. 239 00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:22,900 It's gonna be heck of a business plan. 240 00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:29,420 So the business plan, it's just gonna keep on a part. 241 00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:31,280 That's my concern, if we don't move. 242 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,180 It's important because I think you're making a good point. 243 00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:36,020 Senator Rothman was out here 244 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,780 and we took him through on a tour of the mill 245 00:18:38,780 --> 00:18:42,940 forget how long ago that the closer the picture it was but I know obviously you 246 00:18:42,940 --> 00:18:50,060 understand that. It was over here now. It was he gave us money but $100,000 is great but we need 247 00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:54,860 that business plan, we need matching community money so we can put that to the best use or I 248 00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:59,280 feel like we might have wasted his time and do something with it. Well we do have the 249 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,340 ability to change course somewhat on that money with his approval. But it's not 250 00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:13,540 I think I almost feel like as a board we should strongly encourage our friends to present the plan or don't. 251 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,120 This is the easiest part of what they have to do I think is put the plan together 252 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,840 so that the board has some kind of surety of a plan for continued maintenance 253 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,280 and where that's going to go if we were to even salvage saving us. 254 00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:31,160 So we need that plan. 255 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:38,480 Yes, so two it was probably two meetings ago two meetings of theirs. They have their meetings monthly 256 00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,680 They gave me a copy of 257 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,320 their business plan and I did give them my 258 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,520 comments back basically saying it was not enough funding 259 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,860 efforts within the business plan I 260 00:19:54,860 --> 00:20:07,480 I did tell them that Marida Kelly with KMS did offer to look at or provide some information 261 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:14,420 advice on that free of charge because she is a big proponent of historic sites and 262 00:20:14,420 --> 00:20:20,720 she did say to me that she would be very willing to like sit with them and go through some 263 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:27,900 things with them which I did offer to them. They were very appreciative of that. I still, 264 00:20:28,220 --> 00:20:39,780 and I had, and Rob you were even on one of their meetings and we keep talking, but there's not 265 00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:47,580 a lot of effort on that side and I know they have changed, their board has changed over with people. 266 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,900 I'm not sure exactly what, excuse me, where their efforts are being placed right now, but 267 00:20:54,900 --> 00:20:58,080 I think it's a little, a little placed right now. 268 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:06,120 We will, I can give them a timeline, a deadline and say, you gotta have it in and please 269 00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:11,280 make changes like I recommended or otherwise, I don't necessarily think this board's gonna 270 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,980 like what they see if they don't make some changes. 271 00:21:13,980 --> 00:21:15,400 I don't know who's on the grundmite on Jean. 272 00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:17,900 I did get the name. 273 00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:18,220 Oh. 274 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,600 Can you tell me who's there on it? 275 00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:22,720 I said thought I saw Ron Terro connected at some point in the second. 276 00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:24,740 I don't know, but I never played around. 277 00:21:24,740 --> 00:21:25,200 I can't tell you where he did it. 278 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,520 It might be unofficially. 279 00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:27,000 Okay. 280 00:21:27,460 --> 00:21:31,280 Maybe I'll reach out to him, because he's interested in stuff like this. 281 00:21:31,780 --> 00:21:33,280 He's a hammer. 282 00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:35,780 He'll help get things done. 283 00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:40,400 And I think if we pointed him in the right direction, who was excited about the project, 284 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:53,480 He's a guy who raised money, he'll accomplish things and get things done, so I think I've served on other boards with him and he's very effective and so I'm going to be a really short and encouragement to get involved. 285 00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:02,200 I think it would mean better for someone who could maybe plot through a couple things because they've made progress so far. 286 00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:07,100 They did, they just need to get it done. 287 00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:16,320 My concern was just the time that it's taking so hopefully with the turnover and 288 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,580 forward and maybe that's providing the direction for that and so give it another 289 00:22:22,580 --> 00:22:26,640 month and see where we go. I mean I can give them a timeline and tell them a 290 00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:31,320 specific date. Well just let them know that we're asking questions and kind of 291 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,440 wondering what that looks like because we are concerned there might not be 292 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,860 something to save if we don't start looking at that. 293 00:22:48,670 --> 00:22:52,070 So the other, let's see, is there anything else? 294 00:22:53,190 --> 00:23:02,190 Oh, yeah, so the other good piece of news that I got, I had a phone conversation with DCNR, 295 00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:11,610 representative and the manager, one of the managers of the grant, the grant 296 00:23:11,610 --> 00:23:18,710 applications, a few weeks ago in the discussion around that ended up kind of 297 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:28,230 geared towards, we had put in a C2P2 grant for $250,000 which was for a full 298 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:38,010 sensory playground. It was what I'm labeling or what we're labeling it as 2A, phase 2A. So it's 299 00:23:38,010 --> 00:23:45,370 the playground in a per billion within Lyndonwood. And the discussion ended up coming around and saying 300 00:23:45,370 --> 00:23:54,370 that they they feel that this grant application could be a very good addition to the National Park 301 00:23:54,370 --> 00:24:04,630 service as an amendment, basically meaning that they could tack that $250,000 on to the 302 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:07,730 $1,000,000 grant that we've already gotten as an amendment. 303 00:24:08,190 --> 00:24:11,110 They feel that it's very appropriate for that. 304 00:24:12,190 --> 00:24:21,410 So that's good news, that essentially would mean that we could get contracted for $1,250,000. 305 00:24:21,410 --> 00:24:47,550 So, with that, on the next LSA, which is the statewide LSA application, we wind up requesting the $250,000 cash match for that grant, as well as then we'll ask for other amenities within Lindenwood Park, perhaps a baseball field. 306 00:24:47,550 --> 00:24:53,130 like we would request $750,000 of a baseball field. 307 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:59,770 So because on the LSA statewide, I think the max is around a million dollars. 308 00:24:59,970 --> 00:25:07,050 So we would try to ask for the max and the LSA's all of the LSA money is a no match requirement. 309 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:11,470 So that's right now is the plan. 310 00:25:11,470 --> 00:25:12,570 I 311 00:25:15,070 --> 00:25:19,830 think that's it for now till we get to Charlie's report. 312 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,860 I have nothing additional. 313 00:25:33,510 --> 00:25:35,950 Emergency services, Charlie's not here. 314 00:25:36,750 --> 00:25:37,430 Back to me. 315 00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:44,110 So yes, Charlie was unable to be here tonight. 316 00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:49,630 So he had asked me to relay, first of all he said, 317 00:25:49,630 --> 00:25:55,210 Any of the numbers that he typically provides would end up he'll provide those 318 00:25:55,210 --> 00:26:03,450 next month's meeting. He did. We had talked even earlier than today but we have 319 00:26:03,450 --> 00:26:10,870 been talking about recognizing our public works crew members from the July 4th 320 00:26:10,870 --> 00:26:18,030 storm efforts that they had done with the storm that caused the two 321 00:26:18,030 --> 00:26:27,130 fatalities within township so we are looking at potentially having that during the 322 00:26:27,130 --> 00:26:33,290 October meeting, if this board is good with that. I think it would be a really good, you 323 00:26:33,290 --> 00:26:39,010 know, that our public works crew members did do a really great job, especially on, you 324 00:26:39,010 --> 00:26:45,270 know, outside of our township, it was an even inner township. They were helping trying to 325 00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:54,860 get the emergency cruise through on Route 34 when Pendot was not available so that's great. 326 00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:03,380 So that is all that I have for Chartleys Report. 327 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,300 Thank you, Charlie Gil. 328 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,840 It's only an officer's report. 329 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,260 August has been very, very busy. 330 00:27:14,020 --> 00:27:24,600 A race in jail have been phenomenal co-workers and a boss of just putting some of their stuff aside to just help fill questions for myself. 331 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,880 My permits that our process has been up 100% from July. 332 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,920 I had 37 come in and processed 30 of them in the 21 days in August. 333 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,800 that's not included in. Two of those plans are an overlap from July that just 334 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:48,880 needed review for homes and just making sure that we were good to go with 335 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,980 those families on top of the zoning board hearing that's coming up of 336 00:27:53,980 --> 00:27:59,880 meeting deadlines and then just reviewing you know PC plans that are coming up so 337 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:05,700 it's been a busy August. I'm ready for a little break. Come September but I think 338 00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:09,120 I think that's the most we've probably had process that a long, long time and one month 339 00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,540 with permits coming in and the turnaround. 340 00:28:13,260 --> 00:28:19,140 So yeah, it's just been busy and I'm just appreciative of all the help across the board. 341 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,360 And he thinks September is going to slow down. 342 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:43,290 So I will just touch on the resolution that's on the agenda to the board. 343 00:28:43,290 --> 00:28:48,790 29, 20, 26, 19 authorizing the purchase of 161 old state road and designated officials 344 00:28:48,790 --> 00:28:49,990 for execution documents. 345 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,710 So that's required for closing. 346 00:28:53,230 --> 00:28:59,130 It just simply does what it says it authorizes the township to purchase the property and 347 00:28:59,130 --> 00:28:59,830 designates. 348 00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:06,990 I think we have it drafted as a listening chairman Cole as well as Jill the manager as the officials 349 00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,590 who would be authorized to sign documents of closing. 350 00:29:09,590 --> 00:29:17,850 time. We have a deed for the property drafted. It's been approved by the school district solicitor. 351 00:29:18,570 --> 00:29:26,510 I will just note that by statute school district property when it's sold in this manner, the 352 00:29:26,510 --> 00:29:33,190 deed requires a revertor clause such that if the property ceases to be used for public purpose, 353 00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:38,110 it reverts to the school district. As long as it's continued to be used for public purpose, 354 00:29:38,110 --> 00:29:39,350 but there's no issue. 355 00:29:39,890 --> 00:29:42,170 But that's a statutory requirement, 356 00:29:42,390 --> 00:29:44,450 so we've got that in the deed. 357 00:29:45,710 --> 00:29:49,370 And once we have an approved resolution 358 00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:51,830 from the township as well as an approved resolution, 359 00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:54,170 authorizing the sale of the property 360 00:29:54,170 --> 00:29:55,050 from the school district, 361 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,470 we can go ahead and schedule closing. 362 00:29:58,370 --> 00:29:59,610 I have been following up. 363 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:25,620 With the school district solicitor on, you know, when their next meeting is, and if they'll have that resolution on the agenda, I've not heard back from them, but I will continue following up. In fact, if you can, maybe tomorrow, send me, assuming that the board approves this resolution, send me a copy of the signed resolution out for that to him as an FYI, and, you know, just follow up on when their meeting is and confirming that that'll be on their agenda. 364 00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:37,220 But closing does have to be by November 3, the notice was sent of the township's intent 365 00:30:37,220 --> 00:30:44,540 to exercise its auction to purchase on July 6, and pursuant to the purchase auction agreement, 366 00:30:44,540 --> 00:30:49,400 we've got 120 days from the date of that notice, so that would be November 3, so that's 367 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,580 still plenty of time, it's about two months, it shouldn't take any time, again, once we have 368 00:30:54,580 --> 00:31:01,680 There's resolutions we can schedule for closing at any time, so that's where we are and 369 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,040 that's our goal. 370 00:31:08,780 --> 00:31:08,960 All right. 371 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:18,100 We are on to 13 new business requests for award action, 13A discussion and seeking approval 372 00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:27,860 of resolutions 2026-18 BCED category for facilities LSA grant, Linda Wood Park Improvement 373 00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:34,500 project? I know Jill already gave us an overview of that in her report. Do we have any questions 374 00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:40,020 for Jill or any additional information that you want to provide Jill? No, but let's 375 00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:47,060 have questions. I just think it's great that we can find this grant money to pay for that 376 00:31:47,060 --> 00:31:50,440 and that we have run out on the hook for any of that, so I think that's great. 377 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:02,360 I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2026 to make a motion to approve resolution 2026-18 378 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,280 Second all those in favor 379 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,080 I 380 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:17,620 13b discussion seeking approval of resolution 2026-19 authorization of purchase of 161 of the 381 00:32:17,620 --> 00:32:23,400 and designating officials for execution of documents and it's not just 382 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,440 reviewed with us.
