[0:19] Please stand for the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance, and invocation by Pastor Robert L. Cole, Jr.

[3:04] of Holy Temple,

[3:05] I greet you first in our sisters and our brothers, our Muslim family, our Salam Al-Iqam

[3:12] and I greet you all in that wonderful strong name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

[3:18] Mike, we pray, spirit of the living God, fall fresh here on today.

[3:24] Before we ask you for anything, we certainly want to thank you for everything.

[3:28] Lord, you are good, you have been better than good, we can't thank you enough.

[3:33] we owe you our lives. Lord, you have been so good to each and every one of us. You will allow

[3:39] us to come together once again one more time. And for that we say thank you. We ask you

[3:45] now God that you will forgive us for each of our trespass. As we forgive those who trespass

[3:50] against us, we pray now God that you will remember our counts of president, our counts of members.

[3:55] And God, I pray God that you will keep them now. God, I give them them now. Give them discernment

[4:00] Give them wisdom, God, to guide and learn and grow in this government.

[4:06] We pray now, God, that you will bless these great men and women here,

[4:09] this great city of North God, bless every business owner,

[4:13] bless every family, bless every constituent,

[4:15] every one that's connected here in these five wars of North.

[4:20] Lord, we thank you now, God, for the fellowship.

[4:23] We pray now, God, that you will build a stronger bond,

[4:26] bridge it, Lord, between people and government.

[4:30] We pray now, God, that you will allow them to come to the microphone, and you will do what you have asked us to do in the word ask and it shall be given seek and we shall find not and the door shall be open.

[4:44] We come against you, enemy, we come against you, Satan who comes in to cause chaos, may have and destruction.

[4:51] We pray now, God, that you will fill the room, give us peace, give us order, and give us comfort.

[4:56] We love you today, and we thank you in advance for all the...

[5:00] True about to do and all that you will do, these and all the blessings we ask and the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and together we say a mean, a man and thank God.

[5:12] Yes.

[5:34] in post it on the city's website.

[5:36] Welcome.

[5:39] President.

[5:40] Council.

[5:41] President.

[5:43] President.

[5:45] Kelly.

[5:46] President.

[5:48] We're most.

[5:49] President.

[5:51] Got.

[5:51] Ground three.

[5:53] President.

[5:53] Go.

[5:54] President.

[5:56] President.

[5:57] President.

[5:58] Council President, Council members, we are on page three of the agenda, item six, ordinances

[6:07] on public hearing, second reading and final passage, six p. S. F. A. is an ordinance

[6:14] amending and supplementing cannabis regulations to add microconsumption, amending the manner

[6:22] of operations?

[6:23] Oh, no, hold on.

[6:25] We have, well, I can't listen because, to the general public, you know, you're going

[6:32] to have conversations, you know, as it's being perceived today, I'll be, we're actually

[6:37] the police going to the hallway or somewhere.

[6:40] If you have phones, please, or not, you realize the cell phones in this chambers, because

[6:46] we want to run this meeting in a rapidly and in a good and in a fashion that is the people's

[6:52] Thank you.

[6:54] Thank you, Council President.

[6:56] The mending manner of operations, arm security, and license fee.

[7:02] Sponsored by Councilman Council, second by Councilman Ramos.

[7:06] Is there anyone wishing to be heard on this ordinance?

[7:11] Yes, there's a speaker.

[7:16] Great day, Governor Salter.

[7:18] So this is a mending.

[7:26] Can we get a little more information about this?

[7:31] because the initial, because this is a minting the first one, right?

[7:35] And this is about, uh, let's see cannabis, and a cannabis establishment.

[7:40] Like, and, and that's the other thing.

[7:41] We don't need not a man of the, not neary,

[7:44] none of the cannabis shop in this city.

[7:48] We don't need not, none of the one.

[7:51] They're all over the place.

[7:54] Everywhere you go, around schools, around churches,

[7:58] we don't need another one.

[8:01] Let me say that before I get any more explanation on this.

[8:06] We need places that are going to give our people jobs with livable wages.

[8:12] You don't need any more drugs.

[8:14] Cannabis, I know, is grown from the earth, but by the time they put stuff in it and whoever's doing whatever.

[8:19] I'm saying in the city of New York, you can't go too far without running into a cannabis spot,

[8:25] smoke, shot, convenience spot, that's selling the paraphernalia.

[8:31] since we're on a topic.

[8:33] But I would like a little bit more information about this.

[8:36] This is a mending.

[8:37] I see it's talking about a mending establishment

[8:41] stops there.

[8:42] To add a subsection, micro-consumption.

[8:45] I know that there were certain what you call it.

[8:50] Permissions given for micro-growing it,

[8:53] for selling it, for transporting it.

[8:56] So if this micro-consumption is that,

[9:00] The meeting chapter two, the ask five, we need information.

[9:05] Armed security, okay, I understand you,

[9:07] they need to have armed security,

[9:08] and this is chapter 14, three to four licensed fees.

[9:11] Can someone break this down in very clear language

[9:15] because there's a lot of ambiguity

[9:17] as the attorney said the other day about the containers.

[9:21] There's a lot of ambiguity right here.

[9:22] So can we get a full explanation of what this is

[9:25] and why this cannabis establishment is important

[9:30] because we have a bunch of them in the city already.

[9:35] Okay, so we need things that are going to benefit

[9:37] with the people, not cannabis.

[9:43] You know, and our kids have to walk by this stuff.

[9:46] Some of them buying it.

[9:49] Some people are buying it and giving it to them.

[9:53] The edibles, all of the other stuff.

[9:55] So, we don't need anything in Northmore dealing with cannabis.

[9:59] That's what I'm saying.

[10:00] We, the people, are saying that. But can someone please give an explanation on this?

[10:09] Any other speaker?

[10:13] I did all what she just said. That result is. Thank you for that. At the end of the day, every time y'all come with these things,

[10:21] the ambiguity and the non-transparency and the level that you do not have details,

[10:29] It's not explained in anything to us.

[10:32] We saw a charlament in the God that y'all was all out there celebrating his cannabis thing

[10:37] on broad street, not far from a charter school, you didn't care.

[10:43] He was an in business six months, we had a revenues that were collected from these establishments.

[10:50] You got people operating now to their home, cannabis delivery, look it up on Google, they got

[10:57] address there. We aren't collecting revenues from these places and no accountability for

[11:05] that. So what is the detail in the changes that you're making here that's going to protect

[11:11] our young people and basically let the citizens know what money did and revenues y'all

[11:21] collect them from all these weed shops.

[11:27] Mr. President, before we move forward, so if we can have when we do these presentations,

[11:35] someone from the office come up to talk about them so that we don't have a large amount

[11:42] of individuals coming up, not sure about what it is, but this ordinance right here what

[11:47] it does is addresses the security concerns that some of the small business cannabis

[11:52] and the visitors have been having which required them to have 24 hours security on site

[11:58] when many of them also have to meet the security requirements of having cameras and other security

[12:05] devices inside of their facility as well as the outside. This helps them to allow them not to have

[12:12] 24 hours security while they are not open and so while they are closed they are able to utilize

[12:20] all of the video camera footage, all of the information security systems that they have in place.

[12:25] And while they're open, they have to have to have the security in place to monitor the facilities

[12:31] and go through the processes of what needs to happen at those sites, why they're there.

[12:36] And so what was happening was that they were spending a large amount of dollars on overnight

[12:41] security as it relates to them trying to open up small businesses and working that way

[12:48] and be hammered by the enormous amount of costs that it would take for the small provide

[12:56] to be able to operate. And so what we've done was to work to amend the legislation to

[13:06] show that as long as they have all of the other recognizable security features in place that

[13:12] would not have to, when their hours of operation are closed, have a 24-hour person on

[13:18] tonight.

[13:21] Ms. Freeman, can we have someone from the administration?

[13:24] Yes.

[13:24] Please.

[13:25] Thank you.

[13:31] Good afternoon, Council President, Council Member.

[13:34] It's been a walker for the cannabis program regarding the breakdown for the amendment.

[13:40] So as for everything, Councilman Council said, that is 100% correct.

[13:45] we are amending the microconsumption we're adding that on because we currently do only have four

[13:55] operating dispensaries and we're updating the security ordinance as well to help the businesses

[14:01] because as of right now they only have 24 hours security that was killing their market and

[14:07] all the money that they were trying to bring in and so we're just trying to help them build that out

[14:11] and we want to start treating them as we treat restaurants and liquor stores so we're breaking

[14:16] down so only the operating hours. They have cages, they have the security

[14:21] while they're operating and then they also have like all this stuff

[14:25] underground and they have all the locks and cages and stuff like that. So that's

[14:28] going to help them do all the extra security work inside.

[14:33] As for the zoning

[14:36] regulations you do have this stuff regarding the schools, they can't be near

[14:40] schools, they can't be near churches. So before they even build out you have to go

[14:44] zoning. You have to go to buildings to get all this stuff approved before you move forward.

[14:50] So, therefore, if you guys have any other questions, you can just come to me.

[14:53] We'll go to council.

[14:55] Let's

[14:58] go.

[14:58] Thank you.

[15:00] This

[15:03] is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. We're going to treat them like restaurants. Restaurants don't have a street value.

[15:14] There's a reason why most municipalities request this additional upgraded security, because when they go home, you get broken into it.

[15:25] So now you have something of value, not being protected because your police don't know how

[15:31] to review videos.

[15:33] They don't look at videos.

[15:35] I was just in the police station, a woman called in that her computer, her laptop was stolen

[15:41] and that she tracked it.

[15:43] We need a warrant to go get your computer.

[15:47] This is the thing.

[15:48] The ordinance is about arms security.

[15:50] Here's the dirty.

[15:50] The armed security is a reason why you have it.

[15:55] They're not dumbing down their ordinance in Bloomfield.

[15:58] They're not dumbing down their ordinances in any other municipality, other than this one.

[16:03] You already have lawlessness.

[16:05] You already are downcops, cops.

[16:07] You don't have enough officers to respond to things.

[16:10] So let's just make another target.

[16:13] You're painting a big target on the dispensaries, okay?

[16:18] whether they're micro dosing or macro dosing or whatever it is that they're supplying.

[16:26] Now it's going to be housed. Now folk are going to scheme on how to break into these buildings.

[16:32] And some of these dispensaries border schools and people's homes. So now you're just making

[16:40] the nuisance, like the nuisance of the recycling that you don't collect that was supposed to

[16:45] So like to reduce our taxes, now we have one-during

[16:51] crackets and other folks coming from the community.

[16:56] We're talking about, I can't talk about it now.

[16:59] I'm talking about homelessness that goes hand-in-hand.

[17:03] You're dumbing down the ordinance that was put in place so that

[17:10] these, these dispensaries are safer and safer in our community.

[17:16] Let's just throw safety out the window like you done with recycling, like you do with everything else.

[17:21] This is ridiculous.

[17:23] So I'm waiting for somebody to get shot.

[17:25] I'm gonna keep this video and yeah.

[17:30] I'm not waiting for no one to get shot.

[17:35] Thank you.

[17:36] Any other speakers?

[17:37] And of course, do you know the speakers?

[17:40] Yes, Mr. President.

[17:42] Yes, I apologize for coming in late, but I just wanted to be noted as a permitive for

[17:51] the courts and other ordinances that I have missed a vote on.

[17:59] And also just wanted to comment on this, I walked in and met way through the discussion.

[18:04] A North is the only municipality in the state that was requiring a 24-hour arm security for these cannabis establishments.

[18:15] People know that from day one I've been a little bit concerned about the community impact of these kind of operations within the city.

[18:26] And the reality is that we have very few businesses connected to the cannabis industry that have been able to successfully establish themselves in North.

[18:37] And one of the reasons why is that the city has regulated the industry on top of the regulations that the state has imposed on the industry.

[18:48] So it's made a very difficult for some of these very small businesses to operate successfully within the city.

[18:57] And one of the challenges that they have communicated to the administration about is the costs associated with having a 24 hour armed security.

[19:08] Now, there are other mechanisms that they could utilize, you know, surveillance equipment,

[19:15] they could have security in place during operational hours, but to have them be required

[19:21] to pay somebody 24 hours a day to secure their facility, even when they're closed, and many

[19:29] instances created an environment where it wasn't even worth it for some of these businesses

[19:34] to decide to open up their establishments within the city of Nordic.

[19:39] They could easily go to Bloomfield, they could easily go to Trenton, to Patterson, and

[19:44] they don't have those same requirements.

[19:47] So that's the reason why the administration is looking to set up some alternatives to

[19:52] the 24 hour mandated arm security.

[19:58] Let's speak, Colonel.

[20:00] Speaker, he was on his way, but my name is Leah, I live at 10th, I live at 10th, 60th, 40th street.

[20:09] And when I'm going to talk about my problem number is, for 26th, this is regarding the ordinance.

[20:20] So this has not been the ordinance on security for cannabis. And that's only the only

[20:29] item that you can speak towards. If you're on the list to speak on the public list and

[20:35] that that time will be given the time.

[20:40] Well, what are you trying to say? This, while living, this prayer is some kind of chemical,

[20:48] and my father is made to be sick.

[20:50] Sir, can we have someone, Anthony or someone, can someone staff meet with you and take the information

[20:58] what you're saying because we're on an ordinance of the basically is talking about

[21:03] something different. So this gentleman right here will take your information.

[21:08] Thank you.

[21:12] I don't care. I don't see any other speakers.

[21:15] Welcome.

[21:19] Yes. Council.

[21:26] Yes.

[21:27] Ramos. Yes.

[21:30] Yes.

[21:34] Yes.

[21:36] Council President Council members before we go to the next ordinance.

[21:39] I just want to state for the record that Councilman Silva has an excuse absence for the record.

[21:44] Note it.

[21:47] Please.

[21:50] I want to be fair.

[21:52] We listen to you and no one up here was trying to disturb you.

[21:57] Your conversation.

[21:58] So please move forward if you have some comments when you're going to have to please not.

[22:03] Because it doesn't help those people who are behind.

[22:07] I like the city clerk too because you're talking behind the person and it's striking please

[22:15] we urge you to please cooperate with us.

[22:19] Thank you.

[22:20] Thank you.

[22:22] Be is an ordinance authorizing the mayor and or his design need to execute the sale and transfer

[22:29] of properties for redevelopment.

[22:31] Is there anyone wishing to be heard on this ordinance?

[22:34] Is this speaker for us?

[22:39] Council President, you asked the last time at the Council meeting that Alice and

[22:45] Ladd last month, come to the table and give a breakdown of all the properties that

[22:53] are in investment work. What you have been doing every month, this

[22:57] Amen.

[22:59] Amen.

[23:00] For record.

[23:02] Lisa Parker.

[23:04] What you've been doing every month is authorizing the deputy mayor and investing

[23:11] newer for the sale and transfers of properties that you have and identified what properties

[23:18] they are.

[23:19] What we're seeing in these agendas every month is nothing but pork belly that you give into

[23:26] your friends, family, and donors, and under-estimating and under-assessing the value of

[23:34] these properties, so that you could resell them for pennies, but not for the open public.

[23:41] Now if all of these properties are being housed within investment newer, and for the last

[23:47] five years, I was in that concierge and says, I'll get it to you and hasn't done it yet.

[23:56] I don't want to see another ordinance like this for you to approve unless you are detailing

[24:04] what properties you're talking about.

[24:07] And I want to ask the question once again, which properties are you transferring and selling

[24:15] and to whom, out of investment, we have it now, Nina Somone, all of these quasi-re-nane

[24:25] rebranded developments that we're not collecting revenues from investment.

[24:34] And we wonder why the city is pro.

[24:37] Because not only aren't you collecting the real assessment of the, and I don't care if

[24:43] raise a rate from $6 per square foot to $17, you're reducing the excess amount so that you

[24:52] could continue to sell it for nothing and have people purchase it, there's not Newarkers

[24:58] So they could turn...

[25:00] Down in flip it, for a half a million, million dollars.

[25:06] Then needs to be some accountability out of investment work and stop with all the non-transparency

[25:12] of transferring the property and the sale of it and given permission and you legislate

[25:19] is not acts in the questions.

[25:24] That's real talk, accountability,

[25:28] while you saddle in the homeowner's in the dead,

[25:32] while you're not collecting revenues.

[25:36] Any other speakers?

[25:40] They're personas.

[25:41] So the last meeting, and Ramos brought this year's

[25:47] ago as well, and where we align with these properties.

[25:52] Last meeting he talked about properties that were sold for pennies and they quadriple to sell

[25:59] They sold it to one person and that person sold it to another person and then it's out of out of our hands

[26:04] Alice and I want them upset because they said they were going to do this and they didn't do it, but now they did this and what are we going to do?

[26:12] We right the details are in the double the double as in the details the contracts that's what the details are

[26:19] So if it's not written, it's not done

[26:22] You talk my old, it was eight dollars we sold the property for. Now we're, we're

[26:26] at least raised it. You should have been charged in 2838 dollars per square foot

[26:30] footies of industrial blacks. It's said a given in the way for pennies.

[26:36] Under assessing it, even if it's assessed at one price, it's sold for much less.

[26:42] Because it's people you know. What? But then we, the people, are saddled with the debt.

[26:50] our taxes go up. We have to fill the bill that's been left by those who come here and get

[26:57] the whole candy stove.

[27:00] But when we say this, you're looking at us like we're crazy and you know

[27:04] the deals that are made. You'll know it's. Ramos has been asking the same questions the

[27:10] years he's been up in. There was supposed to be a list given by Alice in

[27:14] like Lisa Farka said, the last time, always ask, where's the list, where are the properties,

[27:21] what makes you choose this developer, over that developer, what makes them get the property,

[27:26] and the other person doesn't get the property, how many bits were given, none of these answers

[27:30] are given, ever, which makes you the council ineffective, because I told cats all can turn

[27:37] outside, yes, they don't even realize the power that you hold, you in these seats don't

[27:42] realize the power that you hold,

[27:47] you understand everybody, it's supposed to be held accountable

[27:50] under you. You, you have the power to veto smack it down, if it's something's in a budget,

[27:57] I don't want that, no, we're not doing this properly. And who's going to check you?

[28:04] You're sitting

[28:05] up here, powerless, when all the power is given to you by the foster act,

[28:13] you don't

[28:17] know it,

[28:22] because it's not benefiting, we the people.

[28:27] Where are these properties?

[28:28] It needs to be made available to every citizen.

[28:33] Not just who you want to give it to.

[28:37] Now let's stop the madness.

[28:39] And have her require her to get here with this.

[28:42] Thank you.

[28:43] Excuse me.

[28:49] Good afternoon, I dare a brown-locked New Jersey.

[28:52] Don't mean to be a broken-backer, but let's bring up the facts.

[28:56] there

[29:00] is the exhibit. Where's the list? In the past, we have these ordinance. You want individuals to come up and talk about it. We don't know what we're talking about.

[29:10] Half the time because the information is not here.

[29:16] Where are the properties? What are we selling?

[29:18] We have so many homeless people in the city that we sell in property.

[29:24] The problem that we're having is you want us to speak of our opinions.

[29:28] but nothing is very clear in what we in explained.

[29:31] I act going forward.

[29:32] Let's document who's actually supporting these ordinance,

[29:36] who's actually suggesting it's supporting it.

[29:40] Also, where's the information?

[29:42] It's very vague.

[29:43] It's just a block of information.

[29:45] We don't understand that citizens.

[29:47] We would like to know more.

[29:49] Because this is a very, very important subject

[29:52] that keeps coming up.

[29:54] It shouldn't be where you have your direct the departmentate come.

[30:00] Economic and housing development coming later with, oh, this, this information should be before the council and the citizens, we should have this information beforehand.

[30:10] We shouldn't come here, just read this and try to figure out what's going on.

[30:14] Because when you read this, what are we really saying? Are we so in property? Are we established in property?

[30:21] is this like the Lions Gage that's been in Lingles in 2022, but I'm going to stick to this

[30:27] ordinance because it's talking about the transfer of the city of North properties. I identified

[30:32] on exhibit, is it on exhibit A, pursuant? It's no period, no comma. I'm not really sure.

[30:39] We need more information. This is very vague. And then in a few months, you're going to come back and say,

[30:46] oh, well, this was supposed to happen. We ask questions. Nothing should go forward if you're not fully

[30:51] of everything that's going on. And again, the constituents need to know, you need to break it down

[30:59] for us to understand. Because if you ask anyone, what does this really mean? I don't need the other

[31:06] person to come in and explain it. I need for you guys that's voting on it to understand. So we

[31:11] could know when we call your office in the future. Don't want to be a broken record, but everyone

[31:17] has made a great point. It's not enough information stated and going forward. I understand

[31:23] this is a book all the time. We need more information. Thank you.

[31:28] Next speaker.

[31:32] In ordinance, authorizing graph, malfeasance, we can just ask Joe McCollum. Oh, wait, we can.

[31:41] When are you guys going to learn? You put these vagodies here and you think that everybody

[31:49] in the city of Newark and in City Council all here is drug-addled and that we just don't have any common sense.

[32:01] Who are you selling it to? What are the values? What are they valued at? Where are these properties?

[32:07] How did you get these properties? What is the bottom line?

[32:11] And when Allison said, oh, well, they took the property,

[32:15] then they sold it, then they did this.

[32:17] What kind of contracts are you writing?

[32:19] Who's writing that?

[32:20] Well, what law school did your attorneys go to?

[32:24] They need to get their money back.

[32:26] You need to get new attorneys that know how to write contracts.

[32:31] This is ridiculous.

[32:33] And oh, well, we don't have the paperwork.

[32:36] You got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 lines.

[32:39] It should be online.

[32:42] You should have a live platform

[32:44] where we can all access all the information

[32:48] about what's going on with the city.

[32:51] Your site looks like 1986

[32:53] and that some of the high school students put it together.

[32:58] You can't access anything.

[33:00] The links don't work.

[33:02] It's ridiculous and you do that purposefully.

[33:05] Like this is purposeful.

[33:08] This little cabala that you guys set up is a performative act.

[33:14] You just have to do this for the law.

[33:18] You're not interested in actually doing what's right.

[33:24] How many millions of dollars are these properties worth?

[33:27] Are they worth a dollar?

[33:29] How are you getting this assessment?

[33:30] good to the assessments.

[33:33] This needs to be on an active website that every resident 300,000

[33:41] people can access and see what's going on. And see what's going on with UCC and code enforcement.

[33:51] And we can tap a button and get the person who's working on this. We can tap a button and send a

[33:57] to Allison send me this form, and it should be a live PDF that she can just go boom,

[34:05] they could go, that you can read it for yourselves. And you will know how to do that. This is a 21st century.

[34:13] You can't tell that by the roof and all the stuff all in the apartment in here in this building,

[34:19] But I know that you've sold the Kruger Mansion, Kruger Stock Mansion, which had a $40,000,000 investment for under $100,000, which I'll do it.

[34:31] How do you do that? How is something for $40,000?

[34:34] Thanks, Speaker.

[34:36] Thank you, Mr. Chair. Before Mr. Mahana get up and speak, can we please have somebody from EHD to come up?

[34:42] And will we do these second readings? Can we please have someone from the administration get up and explain what's

[34:48] I can't explain it, but I also do want to note that you can find this information on the website.

[34:54] You go to ESD, you can pull up, you can pull up the information from the council meeting, you can look at the...

[35:01] All of the attachments to it and be able to go over those attachments. But in instances like this, when we get to second readings and we recognize that some people may not want to go to the website to pull the information up because it is more prudent for them to assume that they don't know. But what helps them is to have someone get up and explain what is happening and what is going on.

[35:24] We can have some more questions, and I'm only going to have a second of my second.

[35:28] Well, that's necessary.

[35:29] That's just to this.

[35:30] That's necessary to you, right now.

[35:33] And then moving forward, on second, we will, on third, moving forward, the future.

[35:40] We will do a presentation prior to the speaker's coming up that will be someone from the

[35:46] administration moving forward.

[35:48] So moving forward on these second and final, we will

[35:53] able to say, person from that department to come and explain.

[35:58] So all the business administrator, and then we will proceed with hearing the

[36:03] hitters, areas, and services.

[36:04] Thank you, Councilman.

[36:06] As an audience.

[36:07] Thank you.

[36:08] Good afternoon.

[36:09] I leave my comment.

[36:10] My question is, it has a exhibit to the agreement, and I can't find it in here.

[36:16] could you say what the address is, at least, thank you. I don't need a whole year's

[36:21] liberty, but I don't need a whole investment. You know, I just need to know what we

[36:26] talk about.

[36:28] Well, then Cookersman, finish, then we'll have. Thank you. Cookersman, someone from the

[36:33] administration,

[36:38] someone from the Department of Economic Development, please name

[36:43] from the record.

[36:47] Good afternoon, Randy Daniel legislative coordinator for Economic

[36:50] housing development. I will address everybody's concerns and questions at this time.

[36:56] And regardless of the addresses, there are six addresses. 34 right street,

[37:02] 483 Leslie Street, 650 South 11th Street, 55 Kent Street, 850 South 19th Street,

[37:12] and 307 South 18th Street.

[37:18] All of these properties were,

[37:21] sorry, sorry, but we want to listen to this speaker.

[37:24] Listen, that we listen, they listen to you,

[37:27] and it's time for you to listen to this speaker.

[37:29] Please, if not just, it is right.

[37:32] We're running a government,

[37:34] and we have to run it right.

[37:36] And we're going to do that.

[37:39] Thank you.

[37:41] These particular properties were,

[37:42] of the solicitation by the department in order to help us to gain more affordable housing within the city.

[37:51] We had a information session that was held here in Council Chambers on January 30, 2026.

[37:57] We had over a hundred developers that were present for this information session and that was also the same day that they were able to pick up packages to submit their solicitations for these particular properties.

[38:07] All of these properties have very extreme rehabilitation, they have structures on them that are very

[38:19] deplorable and need fixing and need a lot of financing for it.

[38:24] The qualifications to, in order for you to get these properties, we gave Newark Developers

[38:29] First Dips on these properties, everyone else came second.

[38:34] You had to show proof of finances so that you could be able to rehabilitate this property.

[38:42] You also had to give us a very detailed description of what you're planning to do with the rehabilitation.

[38:48] Add of the six developers that were chosen, unfortunately one of them was not from the city of Newark

[38:53] and that was because for that particular property there were three respondents for that property to from Newark

[38:59] one from the developer that won the bid. Unfortunately, the two developers from Newark were not able

[39:05] to provide financial information or give a very descriptive project rehabilitation description.

[39:12] Therefore, unfortunately, the developer from another city was awarded that particular property.

[39:19] And as part of their deed restriction and this rehabilitation, they are required for all

[39:25] of the housing to be affordable, at 50% are below of AMI.

[39:32] Any other questions on me?

[39:33] That's either rent to a sale,

[39:35] so they either have to rent at 50% or below AMI,

[39:39] but they have to resell the property at 50% AMI or below.

[39:43] That is correct, Councillor.

[39:44] Councillor and Kelly.

[39:49] Great day to you.

[39:50] So you see in the person that wasn't from Newark

[39:54] that received the RFP, you're seeing that nobody else

[39:58] from Newark, New Jersey.

[40:00] I'm sorry. There were only three respondents for that particular property, two were from Newark, and the developer that I wanted to bid that was not from Newark. They were the only three that applied for that particular property.

[40:11] And how was the RFP process going out? I know that these are on the website and they're listed in the exhibit. How was the RFP process going out so that developers and people who would like to buy these properties notify?

[40:25] Yes, we did advertise on the website as well as social media, we sent out emails to

[40:33] possible developers to come to the information session as I stated we had over 100 developers

[40:37] here in the council chambers, but it was available on the website and social media for

[40:42] them to obtain solicitation or come to the Office of Department of Economic and Housing

[40:46] development to make up a hard copy.

[40:50] The other.

[40:52] My little clerk, Roko.

[40:58] One quick question.

[40:59] I'm sorry.

[41:00] I'm a statement.

[41:02] What I will ask for the administration to do is next time.

[41:06] Please list the properties in the agenda.

[41:11] So that we wouldn't have to sit up here with the people and the council going back and forth

[41:17] Because as council, we look on websites, we look in legislatures, sometimes the people don't have that access to do that and I think that it will save time.

[41:27] It will save a misunderstanding of what's going on. So I just asked that the administration lists the sites that are being sold.

[41:35] I'm quick as noted by a councilman Kelly who is forward that you as the clerk who prepares

[41:43] the agenda that these idleness be listed. Ward by Ward, Ward.

[41:48] Certainly.

[41:53] Yes.

[41:55] Yes.

[41:59] Yes.

[42:00] Yes.

[42:01] Kelly.

[42:02] Yes.

[42:03] Ramos.

[42:05] Yes.

[42:07] Scott Brownsley.

[42:08] Yes.

[42:10] President Kintana.

[42:13] Yes.

[42:13] Let me just come to you mark it all the way.

[42:16] Just finish good.

[42:18] Yeah, we finished it all the way.

[42:20] Oh, in my time here, because that AMI was dropped to 50% for me.

[42:28] And that's one of the things we are talking about.

[42:31] That's why I'm for this.

[42:33] Okay, I can't do it at the AMI we have,

[42:36] because I know most of us don't meet that.

[42:38] But then the economic development only to hit.

[42:41] and the economic development office is presentation.

[42:46] So here that the three people from the three people

[42:49] bear for the one property, and we didn't have the financing.

[42:54] If we know that's difficult, and our community as well,

[42:57] those are some things that we have to pull,

[43:00] departments in order to talk about the bonding,

[43:02] the insurance, the financing.

[43:03] We need to do those kind of business seminars,

[43:06] real business seminars.

[43:07] Not people coming in, trying to make money charging.

[43:10] people 50 dollars over this are you get quick and flip in the property. It's not what that's about.

[43:14] So we're going to have opportunities and I'm interested. I'm an advocate for pushing for

[43:19] workers to do what they have to do. We have to also understand that every LLC that has a

[43:24] North address is not a North girl, right? So with that being said, people have to, we have to learn the

[43:31] process, hold myself, because I don't know the process. But I'm not looking to buy property. Many people

[43:36] And I know it's been hard for residents that they feel to get property, but I think once we have a seminar of our own, we don't have to pay and come in and learn the business of how you become a part of this process, I think it becomes a little easier for us to be involved.

[43:53] So, I would like to see us economic development, the young lady that just came to make this

[44:00] fine for me, explain what that process looks like, how people that are looking to get into purchasing,

[44:07] get involved in that process through the chaos, and let the economic development office, as well as our

[44:13] office, no, I couldn't get through. I wasn't able to, because those are the kind of things that

[44:18] have to happen. But if the public doesn't say it, as we went back and forth with some issues yesterday,

[44:23] we don't know. So I'm just saying that we do need to do a process right now

[44:28] through economic development, not even, I didn't say nothing about investment.

[44:31] I said economic development showing people what the process is so they can engage in

[44:37] the process. I know there's a big push nationally, everybody that's a homeowner now

[44:41] to become an LLC, down to doesn't agree with that. But that is the push on the business side.

[44:47] So, I think that this parker should be a homeowner and be able to be a homeowner at

[44:54] another property without being in Parker L.L.C.

[44:58] So, I'd like to push for people too.

[45:00] Moving to that genre, it's a real push because people have called me about that as well. They don't even want to sell to someone if they're not a LLC. And I think that's wrong as well. If I have the finance, for my first house, to get another house, I should be able to do that. And we also must respect the right of the next door neighbor. I don't know the exact name, too. So just bear with me. But I know that some bear is a cause that the right of purchase for the person that lives next door to the property.

[45:30] to have the first preference on that property.

[45:33] We need to make sure that that's also happening

[45:35] in mislead with the North Prop thing.

[45:38] I look back as noted by Councilwoman Jackson.

[45:41] Thanks, sir.

[45:42] Moe, continue.

[45:44] C is an ordinance granting a 25-year tax abatement

[45:48] to 636 MLK urban renewal LLC for a project located

[45:54] in the Central Ward.

[45:56] Is there anyone wishing someone

[45:57] from the administration come prior to the speaker

[45:59] As we agreed and moving forward we would do someone from their menstruation

[46:11] someone from their menstruation to explain

[46:15] the sortings

[46:23] Before you counseling baby actually and thank you so much. Thank you, Council President actually what I was going to say is is that I've actually been

[46:32] Weeding in and before this meeting I was supposed to have information. I waited hopefully. I was going to get it yesterday. Hopefully. I was going to get it today. I still haven't received it

[46:40] haven't received information

[46:43] last month, and so I'm making motion to defer this.

[46:49] Second, and then take a roll full on the fur.

[47:05] Yes, for the fur.

[47:08] Yes.

[47:10] Yes.

[47:11] Yes.

[47:12] Yes.

[47:14] Kelly?

[47:14] Yes.

[47:15] Ramos?

[47:16] Yes.

[47:19] Yes.

[47:25] Resolutions.

[47:27] Seven R1A through you are resolutions from the Department of Administration with no sponsors.

[47:36] A through F are temporary emergency appropriations.

[47:41] G through Q are purchasing contracts.

[47:43] in our through you, our grants and contracts.

[47:48] Council is a whole to adopt a through you, please.

[47:53] Bay?

[47:54] Yes.

[47:56] Yes.

[47:57] Yes.

[47:58] Jackson?

[47:59] Yes.

[48:01] Would like to.

[48:01] Yes.

[48:01] Would like to speak on F.

[48:05] Continue.

[48:06] Can I leave?

[48:07] Yes.

[48:09] Yes.

[48:11] Got ground trees?

[48:12] Yes.

[48:17] I would like to change my vote to abstain.

[48:26] It's noted by Councilor Wooden Bay.

[48:35] Okay.

[48:35] I need to make a comment about seven or one-half.

[48:40] This is an emergency appropriation for $64 million for the month of August.

[48:47] And I need to, as the queen of stopping these emergency budget offerings, explain my yes.

[48:57] Because we have not secured a budget yet for 2026, if this does not pass, the employees

[49:04] of the city of North do not get paid. And although I know we are having, let me just say my

[49:10] piece, you can agree with this agree. Because we do not have a budget in place, if this emergency

[49:18] appropriation for the month of August is not passed, the employees that work for the city of North

[49:25] that deserve their paycheck. Next Friday the Friday afternoon, next one after that, they will not

[49:32] if we don't do this because there's not enough money is there or we have to prove for the money to be spent.

[49:39] So I did my due diligence, I don't need to have a conversation with Mr. P and some folks on the council,

[49:45] but I also called the local finance board to ensure that this is correct.

[49:49] Okay, because I'm not going to make a decision without having enough information for me.

[49:54] And so I need the public to understand as one that stood up with those papers, where the money was.

[49:59] Thank you.

[50:00] I have not changed from that, but I do understand that I need the employees of this city, who are having some difficulties, to not miss a paycheck, because we are in the middle of, and I know my council colleagues concur that we don't want anyone to go without a paycheck, we have responsibilities to take care of, it's right in the season of getting ready to go back to school.

[50:22] So, this is not the time to have folks that work for our city in a scramble to try to make financial decisions with no check.

[50:33] And what I mean is they won't get paid.

[50:36] I'm just going to hate, but that's going to say this Friday comment.

[50:39] And then to what we say won't get paid for August if this is not done today.

[50:43] And I need that these employees that work for us that do a good job to have their pay checks.

[50:48] Now, down the line, if we still scrambling, there'll be maybe a different decision made.

[50:54] Our council colleagues will cut her in the back and talk about it, but I am one who was

[50:59] against the temporary budget appropriations, however, in light of the information that I've had.

[51:05] I just need all of us to be clear, and you could still disagree with the decision, but I need

[51:12] to understand that if this does not happen today, the employees of the City of North will not be paid.

[51:19] Okay, so I just wanted to be clear and transparent, and Madam Clerk, I'd also like to go back,

[51:25] because we did make some note yesterday and have some discussion, and enjoy and enjoy my council colleague,

[51:31] Bay, on $7 or $1M, because we had a big discussion on that yesterday, and changed my vote to a note.

[51:42] Thank you.

[51:44] Madam Clerk, Councilman Kelly?

[51:47] Yeah.

[51:47] Kelly, thank you, Council President.

[51:50] I would like to ask G and H.

[51:54] Is there a second?

[51:55] Second.

[1:03:21] Administration has requested business administrator recording.

[1:03:26] Seven R to bash L.

[1:03:33] Thank you.

[1:03:36] Good afternoon, Councilman.

[1:03:37] Councillor Thompson.

[1:03:38] Councillor Thompson.

[1:03:39] Councillor Thompson.

[1:03:44] Councillor Thompson.

[1:03:44] the amendment to the budget for North Alliance.

[1:03:47] I think I neglected to explain what this particular amendment is.

[1:03:54] Certainly, I don't think I explained it adequately.

[1:03:57] The budget has already been adopted by the Council.

[1:04:01] This is an amendment to their budget to allow for them to pay the additional

[1:04:05] administrative fee to the city.

[1:04:08] It increased from 1% administrative fee to a 2% administrative fee.

[1:04:12] It does not increase their budget.

[1:04:15] What it does is the adequately reflects the costs for the city to administer the collection

[1:04:22] and distribution of the fees associated with the sit-and-out that goes to them.

[1:04:29] And if the council, I'm certain, I'm at an answer more questions, but if the council

[1:04:32] will consider reconsidering that the administration would be grateful.

[1:04:41] There's a pleasure.

[1:04:42] May I?

[1:04:42] Yes.

[1:04:43] It does.

[1:04:43] Thank you.

[1:04:44] I'm so present. I absolutely understand Mr. B.A.

[1:04:48] And I thank you for that explanation that we've talked about it before,

[1:04:51] but what I would also appreciate is if the administration would

[1:04:58] nudge if not required.

[1:05:00] I hear, North Alliance to provide us with the information that we've been asking for for the past few months, because there's a lot that's at stake here. There's a lot that goes, and I understand one may not necessarily affect the other, but we got to draw a line somewhere, because we're talking about, we're talking about the parks, we're talking about sanitation, we're talking about equipment, and we're talking about millions of dollars, like I mentioned yesterday, FIFA that was lost.

[1:05:30] businesses in our area and like I said, I can gradually make Michael Silver and the

[1:05:35] administration for what they did and I am bound that was phenomenal with nobody else

[1:05:41] got anything. And they have to respond to it because we met with them before and they

[1:05:46] made promises that I haven't heard any scene any evidence of since then and it was

[1:05:52] months before the world cup. And now we have parts that need to be receded downtown

[1:05:58] and military park, and we don't know what NDD is doing with downtown district and the cleanliness,

[1:06:05] and so I'm saying that there has to be some type of response. And so I understand what you're saying,

[1:06:10] and this makes perfect sense. And I get the reconsideration, but they need to be held accountable

[1:06:18] for something, and I don't feel that they have been. Well, thank you for that council on the day.

[1:06:23] If what I would like to propose then is to draft Councilman Crump as my aide and supporter

[1:06:32] not my aide, as in County.

[1:06:35] To aide in ensuring that we get the information to Councilman Bay and all Councilmembers,

[1:06:42] and I say Councilman Crump, because he and I sit on the North Alliance board, I sit on

[1:06:47] their barbershop of my role as a business administrator, and I'd like to ask that the clerk

[1:06:52] provide me with a letter with these specific information that you ask them and I will get that

[1:06:58] to the North Alliance and I'll get that answer and I'll make the representation to you now

[1:07:01] that we will do so that I'll follow up on that personally and my capacity as the board member

[1:07:08] and, again, solicit the support of Councilman Crump to ensure that we get an information.

[1:07:14] In addition, it sounds like the North Alliance and the NDD which still exists

[1:07:20] ought to come before the council and make a presentation.

[1:07:24] And so we will have that done as well.

[1:07:27] With respect to the parks, the seating, the North Parks Foundation still exists.

[1:07:32] So the five downtown parks right now are still under the control of the park.

[1:07:37] The foundation, North City Parks Foundation.

[1:07:39] But it too is in the process of becoming assumed into the North Alliance.

[1:07:43] So we should discuss that as well as part of the information that you want.

[1:07:47] And it makes perfect the good sense the public should have it. You should have it the entire all the residents of the city of Norkes should have that information

[1:07:54] I think it is the absolute appropriate and

[1:07:58] We will work to make sure that that happens to not work. I will happen. I'll just take on that labor and order to make sure that they appear in front of this council

[1:08:07] They'll be a letter and there will be a presentation. Yes, okay. There's no can we say when

[1:08:12] When is the presentation?

[1:08:14] Let me get the letter, but what I'm going to do is I'm going to present that to the interim director, the show on right, as soon as I get it, I assume tomorrow we'll get that.

[1:08:28] I think I have a meeting with him on Friday either tomorrow Friday.

[1:08:31] I'll make sure that they get that the presentation would be at our probably at our next special meeting.

[1:08:38] If we have, are we going to have a special meeting?

[1:08:40] No, no.

[1:08:42] So we'll have them come present in September, and I'm hoping that based on that representation,

[1:08:51] we could have the reconsideration now and I will follow up personally and you have my word.

[1:08:57] So if we could, those of us that have questions or the question, we can get that to you,

[1:09:02] and you can forward that to them. So when they come and make the presentation, we will have all the information,

[1:09:07] And that included, to send us an advance, a copy of the itemized budget, that includes how much money is going to

[1:09:13] NDD, how much money is going to park, how much money is going into new equipment, like the new trash,

[1:09:19] except the cools and those things that we've talked about a few months ago.

[1:09:24] No counseling.

[1:09:25] The consideration for the two percent, I know that was universal of all of the, the biz and

[1:09:30] But with the consumption of all of these different entities now coming together, would that raise the amount of their funding mandate?

[1:09:43] No.

[1:09:45] The funding will be still set by the statute that controls decisions and the convention bureau as well as the hotel application that goes into them.

[1:09:58] So it doesn't, it wouldn't.

[1:10:00] And raise it, it will increase the amount of money that will flow through the North Alliance, through

[1:10:05] the North Alliance, with respect to their oversight of those entities. And when the Parks Foundation

[1:10:11] comes on board, they will have control of that as well.

[1:10:17] Well, I'm a part of this may have limited budget. Don't talk about Newark Happenings.

[1:10:21] They're budgetary pieces will be consumed by North Alliance.

[1:10:25] That has happened already, yes.

[1:10:31] Based upon what the business administrator has had and is planning to do,

[1:10:37] I would just like to make a motion to reconsider this matter.

[1:10:44] Yes, sir.

[1:10:46] And there's a roll call.

[1:10:48] A little bit of second.

[1:10:51] A roll call for reconsideration.

[1:11:16] or the presentation that was made, my council would invade and members of council to the

[1:11:21] Newark Alliance and we can send it to them a copy of what was said and what was the

[1:11:27] questions and those are the questions that were raised yesterday.

[1:11:33] This one quick question, I'm going to submit.

[1:11:38] You said the North City Parks Foundation, is that for all city parks?

[1:11:44] No.

[1:11:45] Eric Penn is a business administrator to counsel woman Jackson through the president.

[1:11:49] No, it's the five downtown parks, military park, the Harry Tubman park, riverfront park,

[1:11:56] Mogari commons and thank you parking park. Okay, no, they're going to be absorbed into

[1:28:28] authorizing the mayor and or his designated need to authorize the sale and transfer of

[1:28:34] work property to Virginia Street for Delco LLC, I'm assuming the both items,

[1:28:44] Corp Council are these to advance an adopt on first, I don't know. Okay, both items

[1:28:49] there's a request from the administration to advance an adopt on first reading,

[1:28:56] as G in

[1:29:03] Yes.

[1:29:20] Yes.

[1:29:23] Again, items adopted today are first reading will be held at the next council meeting or soon

[1:29:28] after a spectrum.

[1:29:31] We are in the here in the citizens portions of this meeting where each speaker will have five minutes to speak.

[1:29:36] We your name is called please approach the podium and address the council members. The first speaker is Lisa Mitchelson Parker

[1:29:44] very

[1:29:52] good day criminal cult this running out government

[1:29:57] Ali Sepocca resident and

[1:30:00] We are requesting a forensic audit of every department by the state controller in the A.G. and Washington, D.C. due to the incompetence, mouthpiece, and mismanagement of new works of budgets and revenue by the administration.

[1:30:18] How are you presenting a budget without a breakdown by departments?

[1:30:23] How would the legislate of body to allow department heads to not have answers to questions about our budget?

[1:30:33] How is the and not public speakers to come in at a public hearing for our budget?

[1:30:41] New Lookers, we are witnessing a shit show on the municipal budget.

[1:30:47] How are you getting us out of debt?

[1:30:50] Newark is in a compounded debt and deficit for over $700 million with no surplus zero.

[1:31:00] How do you have a debt and a loan of 294 million principle would an interest rate at 75.35%

[1:31:12] to the sum of 222 million?

[1:31:16] The interest is just about as much as the loan, like I said before,

[1:31:23] loan shocks don't have that kind of interest rate.

[1:31:29] Where is the line item for the back pay to the pension fund,

[1:31:33] where's the unions, where's the revenues from recycling,

[1:31:38] parking authority, car rentals at the airport, parking lots

[1:31:43] that has cast business, the list goes on and on

[1:31:47] of unaccounted revenue streams.

[1:31:50] You have outsource every department to a third party vendor

[1:31:54] for permits, Ophra, Law Department,

[1:31:58] for work to be done by city employees.

[1:32:02] All of the quasi-government and grant-funded programs

[1:32:06] that are not paying into the city like in Vesnoe,

[1:32:10] where is the breakdown?

[1:32:17] Like OVP, Ramos, you asked when this project was being funded,

[1:32:23] how will they sustain themselves when the grant runs out? Now, we're absorbing them as

[1:32:30] part of the city budget. How does that work? We should not be sustaining them at all.

[1:32:41] Why do you continue to approve sale of properties to invest new authority to talk about that?

[1:32:49] Lastly, there before the grace of God goes, I.

[1:32:54] My dear sister, Gail Cheneyfield Jenkins, former councilwoman, is in a health crisis.

[1:33:01] I ask for your prayers.

[1:33:03] Larry Crompton and the rest of you political prostitutes that use a senior event to promote

[1:33:10] your campaign on tax dollars. When has a former elected ever been denied access to any

[1:33:19] event in this city? Never. You all acted with callous indifference, no reverence for

[1:33:28] service to the city, no decency, no humanity.

[1:33:36] Most of all, you direct disrespected a daughter of Newark, according to Shard James.

[1:33:44] How dare all of you, include in the mayor, you will all read what you saw for your

[1:33:52] goodness. And disregard towards a former elected prayers for my sister, Gail Cheneville Jenkins,

[1:34:03] a true servant of the people. Now that street name and rules have been changed, give Gail,

[1:34:11] just do for a street name, give Donna Jackson, a street name for her service of 40 years without paying.

[1:34:26] New Yorkers come out on September 23rd at 6.30 to the first night council meeting,

[1:34:33] because the one says proactive and advocating on our behalf, they need your support,

[1:34:40] Like a Donna Jackson, like a Louis Quintana, and I'm getting ready to throw you in that bunch too, I mean a bed.

[1:34:51] All the folks that last steal and cheap for their seats, get them out.

[1:35:00] Felicia Austin, singleton, I leave Muhammad, I'm pairing.

[1:35:34] Good afternoon.

[1:35:37] As to the amolacum, I leave Muhammad court towers, I leave Muhammad the president, I leave Muhammad near school.

[1:35:44] I was coming to a couple of months ago, I a pat had pushed something my security on Chancellor.

[1:35:51] And I was, I was upset with him because he didn't push it, then we were in the house and authority.

[1:35:58] But I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I have a lot of love for Pat, even though he's my children's age, I just thank them.

[1:36:08] But I'm putting front of you is assessment that the housing authority I heard did.

[1:36:18] And the assessment is says that you shouldn't have a council member on the housing,

[1:36:26] New Accounts and Thoughts, because it's a conflict, and it is a conflict, that's what heard said,

[1:36:33] said it right there, to say a house party should not be there, it's a conflict, and then I start

[1:36:39] talking about. Now, in that conflict, we're pat, it pat don't hide its face. Housing

[1:36:48] thought he would have been took in Google by the hood. If he don't, he might not

[1:36:54] light-spice her, but he made a great move. And he made it at the right time because the

[1:37:00] man was running for governor. Now, he'd been a crazy time to lose the house in the

[1:37:04] Now, I'm going to let's go back and push security, security, not just for the chance

[1:37:11] to happen.

[1:37:11] Security for the housing authority, I've been asking for us.

[1:37:14] Now, what I'm putting in front of you is different contracts that happen.

[1:37:19] One contract, particularly, is that $7 million that we're going to spend on a house

[1:37:25] starting to spend.

[1:37:26] Councilman Donna, you remember that that you was arguing for me seven million or thirty five million. That was all BS

[1:37:34] They never what they did they never put the money

[1:37:38] In the in the contract they didn't feel it. They just didn't because of me

[1:37:41] They want to keep me quiet so I didn't find out I'm just spikes are came and said they never put the money in for security

[1:37:50] So it was BS

[1:37:51] You know, seven million dollars there was BS then I got, I'm showing you something else where

[1:38:00] there was supposed to be a contract, I think Pat bought that up in a thing about, four hundred

[1:38:04] million dollars to the city of North for police security. That's against the law with HUD.

[1:38:11] Shah James had to give back eight million dollars when he did it. We told the mayor that

[1:38:16] you can't, HUD's position is that we're residents in the house of authority. You've got to

[1:38:21] care of us like you take care about. When you got to pay you to have a police outside our houses,

[1:38:27] so HUD said, no, so that was some more BS because I was down here talking about security.

[1:38:33] Something's telling you, it's a lot of BS here, but now you can enforce it. I'm asking

[1:38:39] this new council to enforce it. Just like you enforce everybody else, sin called it for us. You know how

[1:38:45] I used to go to Bradley Court at night and walk.

[1:38:50] I asked why if you dropped me off.

[1:38:51] You said, no, don't get out of here.

[1:38:53] I used to walk in.

[1:38:54] With a security act.

[1:38:55] I used to go to Pinnitus and court by myself.

[1:38:57] With a security act.

[1:38:58] Don't let nobody be as you.

[1:39:00] Because the housing authority, remember, is low income.

[1:39:04] Say your citizens.

[1:39:06] And disable.

[1:39:07] Protect them.

[1:39:08] Enforce your album.

[1:39:10] Pat.

[1:39:10] Please start enforcing it.

[1:39:12] You should see that you didn't get to both down there on Davis Street.

[1:39:16] House of Thoughty, that should have slapped me your face.

[1:39:20] Now, I'm Donald.

[1:39:22] I heard the same thing that you had a grandson that couldn't,

[1:39:25] he said, was 14 years old.

[1:39:27] They sent it to let us say he couldn't.

[1:39:29] They wasn't hiring people.

[1:39:31] Now, you know, I'm a fact man.

[1:39:32] FBI said, I leave.

[1:39:35] We don't want to hear facts.

[1:39:36] We want to hear everything.

[1:39:37] I said, I'm a fact man.

[1:39:39] But I heard rumors.

[1:39:40] And what I'm asking you for, you can't sue Donna Jackson, that you asked for an audit

[1:39:49] because I heard it was money. This is what I heard now, that money that was supposed to be for

[1:39:56] the Employment Money was moved over to something else.

[1:40:00] That's what I heard, but you need to ask for audit. Karen, gay law, it's an honorable woman. I dealt with

[1:40:08] her when her husband with the basketball, we put kids in college. She's an honorable woman. Pat council

[1:40:14] is not a corrupt individual. I want anybody to understand that. When I jumped on him, I was

[1:40:20] not my corruption. What is this about? Lawyer to political lawyer to political lawyer to political

[1:40:27] with the world and know that.

[1:40:29] So jump on his damn house and authority

[1:40:31] and make security to make people feel secure.

[1:40:36] Well, I like my song.

[1:40:37] Thank you.

[1:40:38] Thanks, Speaker.

[1:40:39] I'll leave my home.

[1:40:40] I'm sorry.

[1:40:41] I'll go again if you like.

[1:40:46] I'm pairing.

[1:40:48] She's up for her.

[1:40:49] She got an opportunity.

[1:40:51] Excuse me.

[1:40:52] You almost got that off.

[1:40:54] Right, you almost got that off.

[1:40:55] That's a paid commercial.

[1:40:59] I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.

[1:41:01] Great day, Newark, how you live in,

[1:41:04] every solace, warrior for the people who want to fight for themselves.

[1:41:12] Let's talk about this budget hearing.

[1:41:14] This is insane.

[1:41:17] You know, I know it was last month that beginning

[1:41:19] and you threw together a little thing because you had to,

[1:41:23] and encouraged us to have something to say prior to seeing the budget.

[1:41:26] Now, we were supposed to get three minutes, so I'm reckoning that's three minutes after each

[1:41:35] department gives their breakdown, because that's what makes sense, right?

[1:41:41] And what you all do is you take something and instead of using it as a blueprint or a

[1:41:56] saying, we need to go back to where we can have our say. Because this is our money. It's

[1:42:04] not your money. It's where the people's money. It's the city's money. We pay your salaries.

[1:42:09] And so we should have a say on this budget on every department that came before us yesterday.

[1:42:17] Now, it's not, it should not be where okay. So the budget hearing was yesterday. There's a budget

[1:42:21] today and when another day and then we'll just set a date when you can come another

[1:42:26] week or two or a month later. That makes no sense because you're going to vote on

[1:42:31] this budget and we the people have a say about it. Like for example, how is it that we've

[1:42:36] had vacancies since 2021? There's a hiring freeze but it's in the budget. The money's

[1:42:44] budgeting for the people to be hired but there's a hiring freeze but the money's there

[1:42:50] And there's no plan to hire the people, so make that make sense.

[1:42:55] So how is that and I'm asking, so how is that?

[1:42:57] The money is there if I don't use it, the money is still there.

[1:43:04] So it's in the budget that these people's salaries are there.

[1:43:09] So is it just a placeholder because we're using the money for something else?

[1:43:14] You understand?

[1:43:15] Or is it because we don't want to pay any insurance if we hire the people,

[1:43:19] So we'll just let the city run a muck and not have all

[1:43:23] the proper people in place.

[1:43:26] So the money is budgeted.

[1:43:30] Why are we not hiring the people?

[1:43:32] Since 2021.

[1:43:34] And if it's a hiring freeze, when did the hiring freeze start?

[1:43:37] Because I've seen people getting hired repeatedly

[1:43:42] in the past months.

[1:43:45] I've been an elevator.

[1:43:46] I've been on the streets.

[1:43:47] I've been hearing the conversation.

[1:43:48] I see the people come to work their first day, a lot of people we've never seen in the

[1:43:51] building before they got picked that. So people are being hired. When did the hiring freeze

[1:43:57] go into effect and also answer another question for me, were there raises given out to department

[1:44:03] managers and council people and the mayor's administration back in January or so and hit people's

[1:44:11] check. So, in the midst of our deficit in all of this, where people give in reasons.

[1:44:20] And so, and this is verifiable information. So, I'm asking the question. But we, you know,

[1:44:29] given the answers to the questions that we've asked for. Also, with Ramos, when Office of

[1:44:34] Violence Prevention was established. First of all, he asked, why did that get to be the organization

[1:44:40] to disperse the money. He asked that. Then he asked how are they going to be funding after the

[1:44:47] ARPA money or whatever money that was was given out. When all of that grant money was given,

[1:44:51] how is this going to be funded? It was shuffled around, I would just vote yes and yeah,

[1:44:56] we'll deal with it later. So now they have their leg in our budget.

[1:45:00] For 3 million, and I believe they want it 6 million or something like that. So now there are leg on our budget, right? Police budget. So these were things that were asked.

[1:45:11] They were shuffled down or just I just leave it alone, but now we're absorbing that amount and this question was asked yesterday.

[1:45:19] So it's a lot of questions that we, the people want answers to because we're entitled to them. So it is only right that you give us the opportunity at these budget hearings.

[1:45:29] to have our say, because I mean really, and it's only three minutes, so it should be three minutes per

[1:45:37] department. This is one of schedule. You get paid a six-figure, almost six-figure salary, 95,000.

[1:45:45] It's over a six-figure because you get the card, the gas, the perks, all of that. So yeah, you get a salary for this.

[1:45:51] It's on the calendar, you are to be here to answer our questions to break down the budget,

[1:45:57] to give us a clear picture of the city's business.

[1:46:01] You don't get to shoe us off and kick the can down the road.

[1:46:05] When we are, we the people are the revenue.

[1:46:09] Thank you.

[1:46:10] Nice speaker.

[1:46:11] Hassan Hunter Redman.

[1:46:14] I'm hearing.

[1:46:21] My name is Hassan.

[1:46:21] That's Redman.

[1:46:22] I've been living in North for about a year now.

[1:46:26] I have a couple of photos.

[1:46:26] I don't know if I give a to you or you can't hear anything.

[1:46:29] You can hear me now?

[1:46:31] Yeah.

[1:46:31] Okay, my name is Quasana Hunter Redman. I've been living in Noke for about a year now

[1:46:36] And I just had a request

[1:46:39] If we can put a camera on wheels on the corner of South 15th Street and Madison Street

[1:46:44] I have a couple of photos of some of the things that I want to say to I give it to you guys or

[1:46:49] The clerk

[1:46:55] So the first thing I want to talk about is how there's a lot of activity going on at the end of the block

[1:47:01] Um, there's Madison school around a corner when the kids are then with school.

[1:47:05] They come up the block to fight adults watch and then when stops them, someone cover the

[1:47:10] get hurt, um, due to limited parking, I have to park around a corner, my car has been broken

[1:47:16] into twice.

[1:47:18] It's not a good feeling.

[1:47:20] Um, I'll couple of the neighbors talking about people breaking it and said their cars

[1:47:23] as well.

[1:47:24] They said that they've made police complaints, um, nothing has been done about it.

[1:47:28] Um, someone hit my husband's car and his car was total so we had to put funds into buying a new car for him.

[1:47:36] Um, the house behind me on south 14 16th Street. I believe it's abandoned. It's been burned down.

[1:47:46] I spoke to Miss DeVina. She did something about it. People came out to clean the backyard.

[1:47:50] But two weeks later, people came to dump more things in the backyard.

[1:47:54] There's drug consumption being done back there.

[1:47:56] I go to barbecue and it's people showing out in the backyard just all over the place.

[1:48:02] If we can do something about that, that would be great.

[1:48:06] The trash on South 15th Street is unbearable.

[1:48:10] The drain is clogged.

[1:48:11] It was a flood on the street because the water couldn't go through.

[1:48:16] If we can do something about that, that would be great as well.

[1:48:19] Please.

[1:48:20] And thank you.

[1:48:20] My priority is the safety of everyone around me and if we can take care of that that would be great

[1:48:26] Which is why I brought up the camera on wheels because I feel like that would be a good thing to be monitored because once my husband car guy hit no one to anything

[1:48:35] I actually see if they had video footage. They couldn't say anything

[1:48:40] But I feel like this will be good for everybody on the block, please

[1:48:44] My

[1:48:48] card, you extract one of the speaker and send it to the appropriate department, moving forward, that's what it needs to be done.

[1:48:57] Yes sir.

[1:48:57] It's forward, the speakers come up and tell us so to the different departments. Thank you.

[1:49:06] Next speaker is Marilyn Solwell.

[1:49:29] Say it again.

[1:49:30] Marilyn Solwell.

[1:49:36] Oh, all right.

[1:50:03] Yes, good afternoon. My name is OPPO. All right. I reside at Vanderpool Street in Newark, New Jersey.

[1:50:14] My concerns with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

[1:50:18] And

[1:50:24] title 13, we have paid it back, and the program TARP, which is trouble asset relief program.

[1:50:37] Reduced, there is an appropriation to assist homeowners, and I believe the program is officially,

[1:50:48] It is either closed of September 30, 2023 and a dispersed money and actually collected some money.

[1:51:01] The presidential waiver, the authority on the withdrawal or recapture of the AR Act.

[1:51:20] unobligated funds dedicated for deficit reduction.

[1:51:26] There's federal housing, finance, agencies on the plan of the agency to continue to support.

[1:51:35] and maintain the nation's vital housing industry.

[1:51:50] Guarantine, the American taxpayer will not suffer unnecessary losses.

[1:51:58] In Title 11, there is federal reserve system provisions,

[1:52:08] and there is a, this federal reserve act, the third undesignated paragraph of section 13 of the federal reserve act is amended.

[1:52:31] It's the Board shall establish procedures to prohibit borrowing from programs,

[1:52:38] and facilities by borrowers that are in solvent.

[1:52:56] The program or facility that is structured to remove assets from the balance sheet

[1:53:02] of a single and specific company, or that is established for the purchase of assisting

[1:53:10] a single-ins specific company of void bankruptcy resolution under Title II of the Dodd-Frank

[1:53:18] Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

[1:53:22] The Board may not establish any program or facility under this paragraph without the

[1:53:28] prior approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.

[1:53:32] The Board shall provide the committee on banking housing and urban affairs of the Senate

[1:53:39] and the committee on financial services of the House of Representatives.

[1:53:46] Not later the seven days after the board, what the rise is in the long or other financial

[1:53:52] assistance under the paragraph a report that includes the justification for the exercise

[1:54:00] of authority to provide such assistance.

[1:54:04] the identity of the recipient of such a system,

[1:54:08] the date and amount of the assistance,

[1:54:11] and form in which the assistance was provided.

[1:54:17] And the material terms of the assistance,

[1:54:23] including duration, collateral pledge,

[1:54:27] or the value thereof, all interest fees and other revenue,

[1:54:33] or items of value to be received in exchange for the assistance.

[1:54:46] It says that Section 1102 audit on special federal reserve credit facilities

[1:54:53] and

[1:54:58] the audit on these facilities.

[1:55:00] Ladies, for of the federal reserve system.

[1:55:06] Thank you so much.

[1:55:07] That's not just say something really quick to miss open. Miss open one who has stood on the other side of that mic.

[1:55:15] Where you are for a long time. Let me just let you know that I appreciate and I fully understand everything that you're talking about.

[1:55:22] I remember when they initially sent that American recovery money out and the billions of dollars that we received and downtown North in the O710 I remember the Southboard O7112 didn't receive any American recovery money and I know we talked some years back

[1:55:39] But it is very important for us to understand what you're talking about with the recovery with the money that was left from home owners and I know oftentimes those in the audience, that's really what I mean in the

[1:55:52] we were watching. Don't understand. We're like, Mr. Opa, please have you

[1:55:56] up and get over. Let me tell you something. There's some wealth of knowledge

[1:55:59] that if we are to move strategically through all of this stuff, we need to

[1:56:05] understand the monitors we have in place. The money that was left to help us. I

[1:56:09] remember they put millions of dollars out across this country to say people's

[1:56:14] mortgages and a lot of people got help and a lot of people did not because of

[1:56:19] unfair way it was distributed but I want to thank you for continuing to come talking about

[1:56:24] the federal trade commission and all those other entities that oversee was going on here

[1:56:29] that we need to understand how that works what was going on and I appreciate it every time

[1:56:35] you stand up there. I think we need to just be more alert. Just go Google American recovery

[1:56:41] at and then when Miss Opo comes up for those of you who don't understand you'll be going to

[1:56:45] stand the mastery of her doing this and I want to commend you for your commitment of continuing

[1:56:52] to come all the time and giving that knowledge. And those who don't understand, again, it's

[1:56:57] with love. Go Google American Recovery Act, see the money, the billions that she's talking

[1:57:03] about that sort of taking care of things that need to take care of things now that is attached

[1:57:08] to FEMA. With all these storms we're going on. We need to understand what's supposed to come

[1:57:13] down from the federal government to assist us in these times the crisis when people

[1:57:18] shingles and chimneys collapse and in all of that when your home onage runs

[1:57:22] got you in the tight bind, FEMA should be stepping in to help us join these storms.

[1:57:27] So Ms. Oprah, thank you, my hats off to you. I know my council colleagues

[1:57:30] appreciated as well but I just got to say because I know exactly what you're talking about

[1:57:34] because I bought the map stand to the council at that time to show them how much

[1:57:39] Billions was sent in the air under the book administration from the federal government for the American

[1:57:44] recovery act.

[1:57:45] This city got a lot of money and I thank you for keeping it in the forefront.

[1:57:49] Thank you.

[1:57:50] Thank you.

[1:57:50] I also wanted to say that the Eastward understand they have a private entity there that

[1:57:57] is, that has to pay tax to our government.

[1:58:01] We should be able to North to collect that net net because net net net net net net net.

[1:58:07] I wanted to rub you, but I would have to do this for every speaker and all fairness to the public.

[1:58:15] Sorry, I appreciate, but now we are moving forward.

[1:58:24] It's very,

[1:58:38] very, very.

[1:58:40] Okay, so let's have a recovery right now.

[1:58:43] The city's persistent in action has created dangerous biological environmental and physical conditions

[1:58:50] that threatened the health safety and property of Newark residents.

[1:58:55] These hazardous conditions did not arise overnight.

[1:58:58] They are a direct result of years of an adequate code enforcement

[1:59:02] failure to regulate illegal construction,

[1:59:05] part that parking practices and the city's refusal to address

[1:59:09] repeated complaints for neighborhood residents.

[1:59:13] The city's failure to regulate or prohibit excessive

[1:59:17] of paving of residential front and side yards resulting in large expanses of impervious surfaces

[1:59:25] throughout the neighborhoods has created flooding conditions. So this is your creation.

[1:59:32] Excessive heat generated by concrete and asphalt surfaces in these illegally converted backyard

[1:59:40] sideyards has created an urban heat island and increases stormwater runoff and flooding conditions

[1:59:54] in areas that historically did not flood.

[1:59:59] Standing water from...

[2:00:00] Olds mosquito breeding, mull growth, bacteria, and other biological hazards. And this is dangerous

[2:00:08] to pregnant women and small children. But nothing is being done about this. Damage to neighborhood

[2:00:15] foundation, sidewalks, and landscaping caused by uncontrolled stormwater runoff. So I want

[2:00:23] to the conduct in comprehensive inspection of North 4th Street corridor and force all applicable

[2:00:31] parking laws, including driveway obstruction and intersection visibility requirements.

[2:00:38] Remove illegally parked cars, tick it and tell them that of driveways and create traffic

[2:00:44] hazards. Review all paved residential properties. Get code enforcement involved for

[2:00:52] zoning compliance, impervious, coverage limits, and require permits,

[2:01:00] develop a written neighborhood

[2:01:02] remediation plan and measurable and timelines for correcting these public safety hazards.

[2:01:14] This is in order to promote the public health safety morals and general welfare, secure safety

[2:01:20] from fire, flood, panic, and other natural and man-made by the city of Newark hazards and promote adequate drainage and stormwater management.

[2:01:33] So I don't have law from 12 years ago that, no, almost 20 years ago, to address these are current real-time biohazards.

[2:01:47] that I've come here repeatedly and spoken to you about.

[2:01:52] And this damages people's properties

[2:01:57] and has to be addressed and debated.

[2:02:00] And it's ward-wide.

[2:02:02] I'm coming and talking to you about the north,

[2:02:05] but this is also impacting the south and the central and the east.

[2:02:09] Now, I also heard you say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[2:02:14] to reducing the facade improvement from 50,000 to 30,000.

[2:02:19] What are you going to do with 30,000 dollars?

[2:02:21] I see that you're constantly eroding and taking away from the people,

[2:02:27] and having parties and waste of money for yourselves.

[2:02:35] And for the little attorney with the little hands and feet,

[2:02:39] He said that if somebody does illegal construction, what we're going to do is open the walls and if it's okay, then they're okay, no.

[2:02:49] The law states that the properties had to be brought back to their original form and you had to go through the process.

[2:02:57] That's why we have permits and a zoning board and all of these other different things.

[2:03:02] There are our variances that are given, that should not be given, and then other zoning violations completely ignored.

[2:03:13] So while we can stand up here and I can read a page from the Bible that was written 25,000 years ago, if you'd like.

[2:03:21] Well, I want to address what's currently going on, what's happening right now, and I've written the laws in here, so you don't have to go hunt them up.

[2:03:32] You just have to read this and share it with the proper departments.

[2:03:39] Thanks, Beaker.

[2:03:42] Sheila Montecu.

[2:03:44] I'm not appearing.

[2:03:46] Cheryl Bulgar.

[2:03:48] I'm feeling good

[2:03:52] afternoon.

[2:03:53] My name is Cheryl Bulgar.

[2:03:54] than a westward, 94 west in Davenu in North. Right now for the last couple of years since they did

[2:04:01] the pipeings for the water and we could get water from whatever sources they told us to come

[2:04:06] to get water. Right now when I turn on my kitchen water, my cold water smells nothing but like bleach.

[2:04:14] I would like someone to come out test our water. Now we live also in that I have my

[2:04:23] She said, she's the head of the Block Association.

[2:04:27] We have a little park there, it's a little green acre park between Callwell Place, West End Avenue,

[2:04:32] Laurel Place, and Carolina Avenue.

[2:04:35] In the evenings we need to change to lock it up.

[2:04:38] At night there's fights in there, at night there's drunken in there, at night there.

[2:04:42] People in there are on glass bottles and all.

[2:04:45] When they put the benches in, it caused a lot of problems, because prior to living there,

[2:04:49] The drug dealers used to have that part. They finally cleared that park out and everything was going fine

[2:04:55] Now they put the benches in there the people come in they walk their dogs

[2:05:00] I do want the poops school. People come in and bring their kids. Their kids are in the same grass, the dogs are

[2:05:06] going their thing. So at night, we need to lock that park after a certain time. Again, our

[2:05:12] school is also a backed up debris from everywhere. We also, the street cleaner is real interesting,

[2:05:20] because the truck comes down the street. The brushes are up in the air, and they might come down

[2:05:24] some street at some time.

[2:05:27] Cars are being ticketed for not being moved,

[2:05:30] but street clean is not coming.

[2:05:34] We have another problem with 76 Vermont Avenue

[2:05:37] on the corner of Plymouth Street, an abandoned house.

[2:05:41] With squatters in it, and it tickles me

[2:05:43] because I don't know if the plywood they use to border the doors,

[2:05:48] that they can actually take the plywood and pull it off.

[2:05:51] But anybody knows the way that building is built.

[2:05:53] If you go in the back yard, the old basements, you should open up from outside, so if they border up the front, nobody looks in the back and it becomes a dumping site.

[2:06:03] I've sent pictures down because this is a normal dumping site all of a sudden.

[2:06:08] All cars are there, and any garbage you want there from furniture or all dumps right there.

[2:06:14] 79, 76 Vermont corner appointment.

[2:06:17] Let's see into my story.

[2:06:21] What a good one.

[2:06:22] James Williams.

[2:06:40] I'm James Williams I'm James Williams I'm James Williams the owner of a limited dollar store the owner of R&B building

[2:06:51] Um, it was some forced accusations set up in here on your last meeting by R.T.B. Booding.

[2:06:59] And um, I wanted to just address that today about those, um, remarks that was said.

[2:07:07] And um, when I heard about it, I came to City Hall, talk to some people.

[2:07:14] I worked for her, somebody else that worked for you guys, and I went to Miss Murphy at a

[2:07:22] cold enforcement and she stayed at, I don't have to bring nothing because all the emails

[2:07:30] she sent out to you guys are already about the situation. She said, I said emails are already

[2:07:36] to you guys, confirm everything.

[2:07:41] So I'm just here to clear up my name from what we said about me and what I stand for.

[2:07:49] That's what I'm here.

[2:07:57] Have you guys aware of it already?

[2:07:59] Have you seen emails from the smokey after this state?

[2:08:05] After these statements?

[2:08:07] She said she sent you guys emails.

[2:08:09] She said, well, I want to see her.

[2:08:11] She said nothing you'd have to do.

[2:08:13] She said, I've dressed it, but I sent all of them.

[2:08:17] Email's are out already to them.

[2:08:18] I said, OK, thank you.

[2:08:21] And I was it.

[2:08:23] Thank you.

[2:08:27] Next speaker.

[2:08:30] Danella Lee.

[2:08:32] Very

[2:08:41] good.

[2:08:42] If I have to know everybody, we want to thank

[2:08:44] the Lord for waking us up.

[2:08:45] This morning, bless and our family.

[2:08:48] The friends, the homeless, our families, and our families.

[2:08:51] I'll salam a lake.

[2:09:31] So what's happening is the last time I came and I gave y'all all that, that was the 15th,

[2:09:40] the 17th, all the people that I had to help the department came out was four, they all put

[2:09:48] and said we were legally parked.

[2:09:51] They told mine's Friday.

[2:09:54] So I took the pictures.

[2:09:55] I came down.

[2:09:55] I wanted the VA to deal with it.

[2:09:57] But I got a call and said, hold up, D.D.

[2:10:00] What they're going to do, they're just getting you and it was another young lady. I had premier tone when I told you I'd be fuller. premier tone is out of business, but it's on our building. So, I had another tone accompanied that pulled my thing instead of having because three years ago was already on rounds. They had them to bring it back.

[2:10:19] What I've noticed in our back, we got about maybe 12-wheel coos, big trucks, some got

[2:10:26] municipal parking, some got commercial plates, a thousand, two big identicals that got the

[2:10:34] one got municipal don't have no, nothing, it's not registered.

[2:10:39] In the back of the other one got municipal jersey place and took pictures because if anybody

[2:10:45] He's the legal and not the park.

[2:10:47] They always trust it and I've been here for 10 years.

[2:10:50] So yesterday, so the people who called us,

[2:10:54] the manager told one, you could take it out at a lot,

[2:10:57] put it in the hand to cat.

[2:10:59] The problem was she delivered to one hand to cat.

[2:11:02] That zone is alone.

[2:11:04] You got three calls being parked in the hand to cat

[2:11:07] been here for weeks.

[2:11:08] Make them all stormy short.

[2:11:09] I've been trying to get in touch with Ms. Angelica

[2:11:12] about us.

[2:11:13] Mr. Thomas came, I got to look at my picture, had to be about a month and a half, I asked for

[2:11:18] the number, her number, I believe the message is for this strange, that's the first

[2:11:23] voice that I don't even message, so they had a big knee in yesterday or two.

[2:11:28] I stayed outside from three, 15, waiting on her. She lived, stayed in it at five,

[2:11:34] but I heard them all laughing, just spirit told me to go on to the side.

[2:11:38] The manager got in, she got it, the young lady, I called her, I'd be called, because I don't

[2:11:44] want nobody's saying I'm a pro, she must say hi. I'm the only one that she looks

[2:11:48] on the phone, she's trying to sneak out. I said, is this your member? She said, yes, I

[2:11:52] said I call her in room this the time. I said, you didn't know why I don't use that. And I

[2:11:56] said, Mr. Thomas, then tell you, I've been reaching out. What is the reference to? I said,

[2:12:00] my car being so demo and I'm being threatened. I'm feeling uncomfortable from the

[2:12:08] situation with the security but Mr. Pat council chief at that point with that in the BA.

[2:12:14] The moral to the story, she was already had an attitude and I said, you don't see me talking

[2:12:19] about it?

[2:12:20] She said, I don't watch that stuff as I'm walking with her because she said, look, I need

[2:12:26] you to call the manager and I talked to her and I said, that's what I got the problem with.

[2:12:31] Prior to that, a Jason, he's down in shock.

[2:12:36] I was supposed to meet with her in the morning,

[2:12:38] but the young lady that got pushed with me

[2:12:40] told me when her underground apartment down here.

[2:12:42] He was one sided with them.

[2:12:44] I found out that Lee Douglas was in charge.

[2:12:47] So I was going to talk with Mr. Hassani about that,

[2:12:50] about setting me up.

[2:12:51] But it's a ledge that the reason why has been

[2:12:54] me being in salt for a year, her daughter

[2:12:56] supposed to be a dispatcher, one of the young ladies.

[2:13:00] So people have been pushed. They got people pushed. Pitches up. People are being banned.

[2:13:05] Can't take us to being banned. The young lady was pushed for me. She was so grandfather

[2:13:09] can't take her. He's been putting them on medicine. But I didn't bring y'all to

[2:13:15] pitchers because I'm gonna deal with them. But how do you move minds? And you leave a band

[2:13:20] that caused them? I wouldn't told about when I said you can't do that. The maintenance guy

[2:13:25] came back. He took their stick as all. The maintenance guy they're doing.

[2:13:30] More remove lockouts instead of cleaning that build this old.

[2:13:36] The moroni marini. I did that when they said they give you the word.

[2:13:40] So I trusted them. They the problem. I don't got time.

[2:13:44] But all of these are notices. She's been tampered with the mail.

[2:13:46] I got a picture.

[2:13:48] I get I work for the post office. Thank you so much.

[2:13:51] Jacqueline Lime House.

[2:14:27] I went to the restaurant the other day and the waitress brought me a lobster with one claw.

[2:14:34] I said, what happened? She said he was in a fight. I said, bring me the winner.

[2:14:41] For the past 18 years my sister's lighthouse non-profit organization based in North New Jersey has been committed to providing critical services to individuals and families affected by domestic vows.

[2:14:54] A mission office, a comprehensive range of supportive services including safe housing.

[2:15:00] Referrals, case management, support services, mental health services, and program design to empower and exist, assist victims and rebuilding their lives.

[2:15:11] We seek to enhance our impact. We cannot treat domestic violence as a private matter. It is public safety,

[2:15:19] emergency that demands our city's strongest response.

[2:15:23] Survivors of domestic violence live in every community and come from every walk of life.

[2:15:28] These stories are not isolated.

[2:15:30] Last year, just one day alone close to 80,000 victims of domestic violence

[2:15:35] reach out to the self-help line.

[2:15:39] To flee fire and step was affecting their lives.

[2:15:43] For them, domestic violence takes a daily toll.

[2:15:46] takes over their lives, test families,

[2:15:48] the parts, and least lasting scars on them forever.

[2:15:52] Just because you don't hear me scream,

[2:15:54] don't mean it's not going on.

[2:15:56] For a lot of us, just, okay,

[2:16:01] a lot of us grew up in a time where there was no help.

[2:16:04] We came from a history of trauma.

[2:16:07] For centuries of views, people were told to get over it,

[2:16:10] forget it, and now you have pressure cookers.

[2:16:12] Many people walking around about to explode

[2:16:15] with mental illness because they've been told to keep it to themselves.

[2:16:21] Domestic violence is not rare, private.

[2:16:23] Or harmless, it is a nationwide crisis that touches every family.

[2:16:28] Far from being a family matter, it ripples every effect.

[2:16:34] Our felt in schools, workplaces, and healthcare systems, all across the generations.

[2:16:40] It is not a lover's quarrel, but a pattern of coercive,

[2:16:44] controlling behavior that killed thousands of people in the U.S. every year.

[2:16:51] 17 million people were harmed by physical violence, sexual violence, and stalking

[2:16:57] last year.

[2:16:59] That's the national consensus.

[2:17:02] On an average every day, more than three women are killed by a current

[2:17:06] former husband, boyfriend, or some significant other.

[2:17:10] other. Making it clear that domestic violence is not only pervasive, but deadly. The crisis that strikes

[2:17:18] at the core of our communities behind every victim, story, escalating a coercion, fear, five.

[2:17:26] We're not paying enough attention to all these women being killed by men. Yes, women are

[2:17:32] killers too, but men kill women because they can. Men who choose to be violent do so in a society

[2:17:38] that has taught them repeatedly to them that women can be possessed, controlled, punished, and discarded.

[2:17:46] And they do so because women's fear is normalized.

[2:17:50] Because threats are diminished and considered as relationship problems.

[2:17:55] This is the one I think about the most is how women are expected to need safely,

[2:18:01] while these men are really expected to stop ever being violent.

[2:18:05] It is sad because institutions repeatedly wait for proof that arrives in the form of a body.

[2:18:13] And a lot of us know what that looks like, has seen it and what it means.

[2:18:17] And when we say men kill women because they can, it isn't because of ideology.

[2:18:23] It isn't because of testosterone or physical size or they are worried that way.

[2:18:29] It means power, it means that opportunity and it means impurity.

[2:18:33] It also means that friends will make excuses, families will look the other way and police sometimes underestimate the danger.

[2:18:42] The court gives men chance after chance.

[2:18:46] The media will describe murder as a relationship that turns tragic.

[2:18:51] Male violence against women does not continue because we have no answer and continues because we keep refusing to confront the root cause.

[2:18:59] It tells us about the power and society that both is protected.

[2:19:04] Women don't need less, no more lectures about how to stay safe, safe, men need to lose

[2:19:09] the social permission to make women feel unsafe, and until violence brings consequences

[2:19:15] before it brings up funeral, men will continue to kill women for the most devastating

[2:19:20] and simplest reasons.

[2:19:23] We call on all institutions and elected officials to confront the resting bounds for what

[2:19:29] a truly is a national crisis.

[2:19:32] Never trivial, never private, never to be ignored.

[2:19:37] I'm a chili.

[2:19:38] I'm a chili.

[2:19:38] I'm sorry, they're interrupulous.

[2:19:41] I'm sorry.

[2:19:44] I'm sorry.

[2:19:45] I'm sorry.

[2:19:46] I'm sorry.

[2:19:48] I'm sorry.

[2:19:50] I'm sorry.

[2:19:51] I'm sorry.

[2:20:01] Good afternoon. Let's go to your Jackson Tucker. Today I came to thank everybody that helped talk about it. Yesterday's event, talk about it, Tuesday, due to the successful. I did, did you all get the flyers, excuse me, y'all got them, the flyer, okay. So I am expecting everyone to come out and support even other council members with the other words.

[2:20:30] It's very important that we engage,

[2:20:32] then we know that we just can't stay in our spaces,

[2:20:35] but we gotta come out and support.

[2:20:37] I do wanna thank North Diggs for giving me the opportunity

[2:20:42] to be a G.I. reformer for the South Ward,

[2:20:44] the South Ward environmental alliance,

[2:20:46] Ms. Kim Gadden and her whole team.

[2:20:48] I thank you.

[2:20:50] Karim Adin, Marana from Water and Sua.

[2:20:55] They got some people out there, Samar and his crew.

[2:20:58] When I left here yesterday, I don't know if y'all knew

[2:21:01] but I was in the back half in the conversation

[2:21:03] because I needed some things.

[2:21:05] So I'm actually happy that they showed up.

[2:21:07] But when I got there, I was told to make sure

[2:21:10] some of the his crew got the recognition.

[2:21:12] They did come near us like almost 25 people there

[2:21:15] doing anything to make sure at four o'clock.

[2:21:19] We, you know, looked at clean

[2:21:20] and it was present a booth for the community.

[2:21:22] I also want to thank the office of I was prevention

[2:21:25] and trauma recovery.

[2:21:26] Ms. Collisio and Phil Hill, Lens Smith, they always show up for me.

[2:21:32] Director Reddance, Tiffany Harris, Kisha Raspberry, the Department of Public Safety,

[2:21:38] officers.

[2:21:40] They had the own thing going on last night, but I did see Mr. Wilson, Captain Wilson.

[2:21:47] Yes, you know you got a safety, Captain Wilson, and the other sergeant come through

[2:21:51] and make sure that we was okay.

[2:21:54] Unfortunately, somebody got they so cartooned because they didn't pay attention to the

[2:21:59] signs that was put out, but they also had a Patricia's temporary sticker.

[2:22:05] I want to thank Ms. Lorraine Scales because she knew that we needed that space, but also

[2:22:11] she wanted to make sure that the community did not offend anybody.

[2:22:14] So we went door to door knockin and also asked the police to come out so we could get that

[2:22:20] You know, the person could remove it, but nobody knew him into the total truck shooter, so it was a little

[2:22:27] You know upset, but they camp they also came out and engaged. I also want to thank brick city oven

[2:22:35] A lot of times we think we know we need resources to get things done, but we also need to have the right conversations with community

[2:22:43] So they can know how and put in initiative is to somebody that

[2:22:47] That initiative was very important because all up and down

[2:22:51] a cliff and having a car and the we see a lot of people just standing around

[2:22:54] because you know we were put here so we can't actually go back to any

[2:22:59] way but I familiar with just our community so if I could help alleviate

[2:23:03] a little bit of that because it is about stormwater being a kind of accountable

[2:23:08] for our community and environment but it's also about making sure that people know

[2:23:13] the beautiful things that we have in North and we engage non properly so I

[2:23:17] I was approved for a few more days.

[2:23:20] I gave y'all the next two hopefully y'all will come out

[2:23:23] and engage with the community because there's a lot of people

[2:23:26] that will not show up when they see a noxile on a flyer.

[2:23:30] So I thank y'all that y'all did not call it robbery,

[2:23:33] Reverend Roundtree, you know I'm coming to you.

[2:23:35] I really, truly appreciate you stepping up.

[2:23:39] You have stepped up for me and so many different ways.

[2:23:41] A lot of the other council members also.

[2:23:43] I know y'all was busy, but it is very important.

[2:23:47] And I think she's only, that's our tag line, but it works for the rest of the community

[2:23:51] for all of us to feel safe, seen, and supported.

[2:23:55] That is very important.

[2:23:57] I also want to give a shout-out to the Seeds I'm a program.

[2:23:59] I am one of the facilities.

[2:24:02] I am very pleased with what was going on this year, and also how she said us down until

[2:24:07] us.

[2:24:07] How important it is to do this work, and this work will go outside of our workshops for

[2:24:13] us engaging with them young adults for one day. So we all stepped up to the plea. I'm having

[2:24:20] a very good feeling about the ministry, the administration right now and the city and what

[2:24:25] they doing. But I do have a degree. I got to tick it. Now that I'm going to show how to take

[2:24:31] care of because in the north and in the east, we could double part. They do not say anything

[2:24:38] you about double parking. I pulled up in front of the Southwood environment to a

[2:24:42] lion's to go in and out real quick. Folks at the office are still got to take

[2:24:47] you. I did sell a cat there. I even went back and engaged with the office and

[2:24:51] so we can't do this. Like you had to give it, we this is a underserved and

[2:24:56] a struggling community. Like I just got my statement from me.

[2:25:08] So I definitely don't want to have to pay that ticket because it's unfair. If I was in North North, if I was in the East, they wouldn't even bother me.

[2:25:16] All right. No, I'm giving you all my ticket. I'm there, sir.

[2:25:19] Thank you.

[2:25:20] Rodney Davis, I'm pairing.

[2:25:43] Excessive, I know you sold out, but you're high.

[2:25:48] You know what I mean? Still reading on that rain date.

[2:25:51] I know we're going to get it. Like the late great military crime used to say.

[2:25:56] We're here for business. I originally signed up.

[2:26:01] They ask you all to make a pledge, no more fundraise.

[2:26:06] Everybody tied to the business community, the homeowners,

[2:26:10] the residents, the voters, everybody tied to y'all fundraises.

[2:26:15] Try to come another, you know, try to come up with another one that makes some money.

[2:26:19] Now, if you're doing it for a bona fide charity,

[2:26:22] like my three kings, while I know where the money going to the kids,

[2:26:27] I'm all for it, count me in.

[2:26:28] If you do it for a bonafide charity like RRC, RJC, that I know where the money going, and I think

[2:26:37] you give yours to the kids that I'm all for.

[2:26:39] But otherwise, you know, cut all the money from the raises out, and try some amounts.

[2:26:44] So I changed up, you know, I got a call from Kathy from a affirmative action Friday after

[2:26:51] I'm leaving a week away park, I got a call from Kathy, and said, did you know that the

[2:26:56] I got sexually assaulted at the job site.

[2:27:01] I said, I didn't know nothing about it.

[2:27:04] You know, so right then and near Council President,

[2:27:07] I went to a different amount.

[2:27:10] I called her up talk to her and I believe a 100% you know.

[2:27:15] Just because you got a little position or got a couple of dollars,

[2:27:21] you can't be sexually assaulted black women in North

[2:27:24] in the United States of America. We're not going for it. So I told him to call 1-800-Donna Jackson.

[2:27:31] She called 1-800-Donna Jackson, 1-100-Donna Jackson answered the phone and got right on it.

[2:27:38] I'm very serious because Gensetsley will man just decide to put his hand down your

[2:27:45] blouse. I know sister B. We're not all women black women are the same. Sister B might have

[2:27:51] me to try it, huh, you know. But, but the ball started rolling because my friend Joe

[2:28:00] DeFrancino, he didn't spend all this money in S. County parks for you to slide over there

[2:28:09] and sexually assault the black woman. Now, after we call 1,800 down in Jackson, I call

[2:28:18] Commission of Richard because it took part in a week away part. He should let

[2:28:25] down and get the ball rolling and we're going to get it on at the county

[2:28:29] level. I can't go too much in details that they got the prosecutor on it and

[2:28:36] that's his county sheriff.

[2:28:39] But this, you know, this is the United States of America.

[2:28:45] And you got to learn how to deal with the black woman.

[2:28:48] You know, I see somebody slap the black woman all day in New York.

[2:28:53] And it's trying to tell one day in the end, guys.

[2:28:56] You do that with your race.

[2:28:58] Now, what I go to Rockland County or Lakewood,

[2:29:00] I don't, you know, I don't play with the women.

[2:29:03] I go, I handle business and I go home.

[2:29:05] So, when you come in the North Council President, do your job.

[2:29:09] not a real bonfire contract that's like the Turner AJD that you see like going on downtown

[2:29:16] building infrastructure. That's not allowed. We don't allow that in America. What you've got

[2:29:22] hustlers, they come down, slide down, try to get the tax of tax abatement and then they go over there

[2:29:30] and they get on the job and so they say, you work with me. And you're following me. So the girl,

[2:29:36] some kind of women don't know what to do. So they got to pay the rent, they won,

[2:29:41] pay check short, or be in homeless. I get it, you know. They have to be

[2:29:47] for it opportunity. So we can't let that happen, Council President, on the

[2:29:51] My Watch, on the Yo Watch, on the Action Jackson Watch. It ain't happen, you know.

[2:29:58] You might think you've got a way to win a-

[2:30:00] For now, but we're coming for you, make no mistake or but. You know, and I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're

[2:30:08] leadership is here. And if any type of allegations, council president, against some of these

[2:30:17] hustling developers, hustling contractors, say, listen, we got until you clear this matter, we

[2:30:24] not giving you nothing. No tax abatement, no inspections, no nothing. You can't go back

[2:30:31] and forth with the black woman when she becomes a woman. Like when you have an Audi,

[2:30:37] the pad has an Audi, you already have a planned out. So you're dealing with the summer kids,

[2:30:42] isn't this, you can't even think and never let say you gotta get paid a year time. You gotta

[2:30:46] have budget all that red. Let's see you in your little. Thank you.

[2:30:50] Shall I

[2:30:55] come

[2:31:13] before each of you, not with arrogance, but with humility, not seeking applause for very witness, not to exalt myself, but to testify to what I have seen, God I have seen it, I have seen a blackly tenant entrusted with protecting the public, ask me to look twice at a photograph of an unknown suspect, then ask me to remove my mass so that he could compare my face to the one in the picture,

[2:31:40] I had not entered that precinct as a suspect.

[2:31:45] I entered as a concern citizen to speak about the growing danger of facing pedestrians

[2:31:50] and a city where civilians and even police officers driving without sirens or emergency

[2:31:56] lights had nearly struck me and other people.

[2:32:00] Yet instead of hearing my concern, I was treated as though my presence itself

[2:32:05] demanded suspicion. God, I have seen it. I have seen people who once cried out for God

[2:32:12] to move in this city. Now live as though they no longer lead him. I have seen influence

[2:32:19] become an idol. Some speak as though they're authors, they're wealth, they're followers,

[2:32:25] they're fads, or they're a title that's elevated them to a place where they answer to no one.

[2:32:31] But no office out, raise heaven.

[2:32:33] God, I have seen it.

[2:32:36] I have seen suspicion become policy,

[2:32:39] yet persistence brought change,

[2:32:42] and one major supermarket at the months of speaking out.

[2:32:46] I'm still working on fixing the issue at a pharmacy,

[2:32:50] but I have seen it.

[2:32:52] I have seen men hunger for power while families hunger for bread.

[2:32:56] I have seen political ambition, consume conversations that should have been centered on the poor, the forgotten and the vulnerable, one group fights for power.

[2:33:08] Another group fights merely to survive. God, I have seen him.

[2:33:13] I have seen the younger generation say, I am smarter, I am more educated, I am more brilliant, I am more competent.

[2:33:20] I understand the times better than those who came to form it, move over its my time now.

[2:33:27] And I have seen the generation of our elders answer not with wisdom but with contempt.

[2:33:35] I have seen and elders fit at B and say, you're nothing but a Haitian.

[2:33:40] For a city cannot stand when one generation despises another.

[2:33:46] God, I have seen it.

[2:33:47] I have seen the insults, I have seen the intimidation, I have seen contempt shown towards neighbors, and I have seen people intoxicated by influence, behave as though they themselves were gods, but there is only one God, every officer, every politician, every executive, every citizen must answer to that God, God, I have seen him, I have watched people enter public office with conviction,

[2:34:17] and leave it what compromise I have seen it. Yet in God's mercy and absolute sovereignty

[2:34:23] I stand, but never abandoned. Without God, no amount of development can heal more decaying.

[2:34:31] No skyscraper can replace integrity. No budget can purchase righteousness. No election

[2:34:37] can save people who refuse humility. To no workers and to the leaders of the cities.

[2:34:45] I say this. Remember who sustained this city when hope seemed distant. It was not human brilliance alone.

[2:34:53] It was the mercy of an almighty God. Protect your, present your policies.

[2:35:00] Lecture Legislation, Government with wisdom, but never imagine that government can replace God. The greatness of a city is not measured by the size of its economy. It is not measured by the height of its skyline. It is not measured by the value of its real estate. It is measured by the quality of life for its people. It is measured by whether children can walk safely through their neighborhoods.

[2:35:26] It is measured by whether the elderly can live with dignity, it is measured by whether working

[2:35:32] families can afford a home, it is measured by whether justice and impartial.

[2:35:39] Lead under the authority of God, let every citizen carry his or her own grip, let every

[2:35:46] neighborhood bear its responsibility, let every generation honor the next, let every

[2:35:53] That needs to stand beside the other, like this city, once again acknowledge the guide

[2:35:58] who hears the cries of the afflicted, defends the oppressed, humble, surprised, and exhausts

[2:36:06] the humble.

[2:36:09] Thank you.

[2:36:10] That was good.

[2:36:11] Very good.

[2:36:11] Thank you.

[2:36:12] Leonid Reed?

[2:36:13] That was good.

[2:36:26] That was good.

[2:36:27] broad street, and I have a father with my father and I pray this, for that place moved

[2:36:37] in there, I don't have no misimpressed in the windows,

[2:36:45] and all of a sudden, they start

[2:36:49] spraying some kind of chemicals, some like gas or whatever, they'll make a mistake.

[2:36:55] So what happens are when border air quality device lets you know what the condition of

[2:37:05] their army lets you know where the air poison is or whatever gas or whatever.

[2:37:14] So this device got numbers on it, it would go higher, it would be long, it would be long,

[2:37:25] So every night, every day they start spraying

[2:37:29] this type of chemical, whatever, and a couple of times,

[2:37:34] I passed out on a floor, so then I wake up.

[2:37:40] Then I get up on a week, I can't hardly walk.

[2:37:45] Then I'll go downstairs and I'll tell them that the people

[2:37:52] downstairs about it and they look at me like I'm crazy. I said, well, there's somebody

[2:37:57] spraying something there. So another day, I went, I went to my apartment and it

[2:38:06] started spraying, so I had a guy of stairs knocking on my floor, like bam, bam, bam.

[2:38:13] So I said, and so I blew up there, I'm not going to the door. I said, man, you spray

[2:38:18] stop down my apartment. It's no, I'm not spreading on your apartment. I said, you spread

[2:38:23] a circle, that's not enough. I smell the same old, come down your apartment down in the

[2:38:29] mouth. So I said, well, you don't have some. So I went back down my apartment. You know,

[2:38:40] I said, you know, I was thinking, I said, I got to get the hell out of here. So I

[2:38:47] We're now, we're now starting to get some air in my lungs.

[2:38:52] Because you know, for whatever the stuff they was wearing

[2:38:55] has not run out of my nose like water,

[2:39:00] and my chest was torn tight enough, and they couldn't hold it

[2:39:03] free.

[2:39:04] So I said, with the air, I'm asking myself,

[2:39:06] something, somebody right with this problem.

[2:39:09] So the next day, I went downstairs,

[2:39:12] I told him the soup, the manager, the manager,

[2:39:20] and she said she can see somebody up in a second out.

[2:39:23] I said, we got to do some, because I can't stay in my apartment like that.

[2:39:28] And I said, matter of fact, I said, y'all have, I said, I've been here, I've been here three years.

[2:39:33] And I put no mission plans or not in my world, I got a ghost bag, all my windows, duct tape, all my windows, and a sea.

[2:39:43] And I said, well, yeah, yeah, I got to be some, the one day, I saw the, the super come out my promise.

[2:39:52] I said, what you come around my family for? He said, well, some digging. I said, nothing digging my family.

[2:40:00] Then I went toward the crowd, they went all too much stuff,

[2:40:07] all too much stuff, they went up to my paperwork,

[2:40:12] I don't know. I just can't take it no more. I got nowhere else to go. The key spread left off. I just got left the hospital down the day, just got up to the day I'm hospital. Because the key spread left off, making me sick.

[2:40:39] Thank you.

[2:40:40] Thank you.

[2:40:40] It's the most, it's read.

[2:40:43] That's like the album.

[2:40:44] That's one thing.

[2:40:46] Yes, Mr. Reed, hi.

[2:40:48] First of all, I'm so sorry that this is,

[2:40:50] you're experiencing this.

[2:40:52] One of my team members is coming into the chambers now

[2:40:56] and going to talk to you and get your information

[2:40:58] and we're going to help you out.

[2:41:00] OK?

[2:41:01] Thank you.

[2:41:01] All right, thank you.

[2:41:06] Additional Turner?

[2:41:07] My name is.

[2:41:17] Top draft noon everybody.

[2:41:20] Reginald Turner.

[2:41:23] I want to bring you a win of something.

[2:41:24] I mean, it's 1060 also.

[2:41:26] I'm a's the one who brought them up here.

[2:41:28] Because so it's a few of them that has,

[2:41:30] it's, it's, it's, it's sicknesses

[2:41:32] that physically can't make it but he,

[2:41:34] he pushed himself up here.

[2:41:36] So I'm here to speak on, I want to,

[2:41:38] I'll speak on some I got a couple of this years.

[2:41:41] I'm not to work with the club,

[2:41:42] I'm running down but I can't

[2:41:44] every thing because I know I have enough time but moving from studio to one

[2:41:50] bedroom you got to set up like they said in the least we can't do that but

[2:41:55] they charging people 500 dollars on the side to move them but when you

[2:42:00] have somebody new to come in I don't care what race it is they're allowed to go

[2:42:05] straight in that one bedroom before the people that's there before us which I

[2:42:08] think is very unfair it should be seniority second they got to level clock

[2:42:13] I have people that work at night, they get off at 11 o'clock and I can't handle business like I'm in I feel like I'm incarcerated again

[2:42:21] I'm like I'm in the county jail, and I think that should be a lift because we all adults in here

[2:42:26] You've got people that work through shift and things like that so and then each apartment comes with a TV

[2:42:35] So so I've been in that apartment the TV been missing it was stolen

[2:42:39] They had the bridge program bringing a small one with an antenna connected to it.

[2:42:43] They've been telling me for almost since I've been in here, they're going to replace it.

[2:42:48] That's something else.

[2:42:51] I want to read off this list. I'm going to try to go through this real quick.

[2:42:57] There's got oldest types of garbage disposal to shoot if we have.

[2:43:01] They have been cleaned since the building has been there.

[2:43:03] So it's fat. So it's oldest. It smells.

[2:43:06] and only those mop and sweep the floors. Those needs sterilize. They stink bad, so that's one of the things.

[2:43:13] Each garbage shoe needs to be sterilized. They are infested, mice, rats, and roaches are on different

[2:43:21] certain floors. They're still there. They keep an eye on it. You've got family members that have

[2:43:26] a problem with their family disease. They make this department a war responsible to clean it

[2:43:31] still an already property, because some of them, you know, I'm all they do sometime, I keep

[2:43:36] cash in the, I don't like running to the machine. So they still all is property. So who

[2:43:41] was headed at? You got, uh, residence, when they, the only way to find out somebody deceased,

[2:43:48] they're in their apartment dead for three or four days, they may be far. The order is what,

[2:43:53] the, the order is what make us aware of them past the way. So we have to go to the office

[2:43:58] and reported. They don't have no ones that's responsible to go check for people that don't have

[2:44:02] family or check the room's period.

[2:44:07] They also request it. They really need a license. We don't

[2:44:10] have no license, social worker. Because the city is like a locomotive of a little something,

[2:44:15] but you have some that can't move. It's no license, or social worker is going to build like

[2:44:19] a health and the system. Because anytime you go to the office, either they want to rip money

[2:44:23] or something else.

[2:44:28] Residents need more visits for exterminators.

[2:44:31] Oh, the exterminators that come to come once a month.

[2:44:34] They will ask the request, can they come a little more?

[2:44:36] I don't know if it works, but they ask the request

[2:44:39] and the exterminators come a little more.

[2:44:42] And the management need to put federal law into practice

[2:44:45] when hiring a person regardless of race, religion,

[2:44:48] in the color because every time you see some of my hide,

[2:44:51] hi, it's their spanish and it's like it's all balanced

[2:44:55] of being treated fairly because you know most people,

[2:44:58] they're going to put their own plug, they own people.

[2:45:00] When first, you know, push us to the back. That's what I speak about for was like, I'm not telling you what you do, but they need to change some pieces in office, because some of them stuck up in that whole way. And they got it like designed and ways they'd run it unfairly. And we'd give a treat to real, you know, like the incident like I spoke to a while ago. Then they had a young grocery, like 30 years old female security, or she'd do as verbally abuse, or senior citizens.

[2:45:30] She should be replaced retrain.

[2:45:32] Why do I see that?

[2:45:33] Because the incident a month ago,

[2:45:35] she was followed by a resident.

[2:45:37] She verbally abused the guy so bad.

[2:45:40] He followed her when she got a work.

[2:45:42] And he pulled the knife out to stab her.

[2:45:43] She made them.

[2:45:44] But they swept that under the road.

[2:45:47] So I want to bring her to the church.

[2:45:48] Because if it happens again.

[2:45:49] Because she got a bad mouth.

[2:45:51] Somebody may pull her going out the next time.

[2:45:54] This is just, you know,

[2:45:55] I'm not giving no idea.

[2:45:56] But things happen.

[2:45:57] And you have people that have meant to psychological problems.

[2:46:00] This is a senior system building.

[2:46:02] You should be trained and know how to deal with older people.

[2:46:05] You've got to humble yourself.

[2:46:06] You don't curse them out.

[2:46:07] You know?

[2:46:08] But that's all I got.

[2:46:10] I really want to bring your attention.

[2:46:11] And thanks for listening.

[2:46:12] Thank you so much.

[2:46:14] Thank you so much.

[2:46:17] Mr. Turner.

[2:46:18] Thank you.

[2:46:19] County.

[2:46:20] Let me just offer you a couple of things because 10, 60 is one that takes me all the time.

[2:46:26] We have had issues there with all levels of stuff and I know what needs to happen in every senior building in this town

[2:46:33] We need to have a tenant organization a sack

[2:46:37] Second of all we need to go back to old school where I heard my other council colleague over here talk about the floor captain

[2:46:42] It's exactly what we need to do that because what I see that has happened in since super-son of Sandy that still has not been corrected by this city

[2:46:51] is we have no emergency management plan in place.

[2:46:55] When Councilman Raimosa and I had to respond

[2:46:58] to the fire at 920 Franklin, I might be wrong number,

[2:47:03] but at Franklin when the explosion happened,

[2:47:09] not inside Stephen Crane inside the senior bill,

[2:47:12] and burned up to eight floors.

[2:47:14] And we had to respond to that.

[2:47:16] It was not a response from the management

[2:47:19] within North housing authority to assist those seniors getting out. So it's

[2:47:25] Louie and I are walking down the stairs. I got to walk and he got to

[2:47:28] cane. It's Larry and I are walking down it could be next to me. So you know, so you

[2:47:33] get, he has the crutches and I have the walker. So we were trying to help each other

[2:47:38] get down from the ninth floor from the eighth floor and we have got to put some

[2:47:42] things in place. We've got to go back to from that experience on Franklin at

[2:47:48] Councilman Ramos and I went into, when those phones went down, right, the seniors couldn't

[2:47:56] remember the family phone number. So one of my ideas that I'm asking my council colleagues

[2:48:01] to work with me on and I don't think any of us have a problem is going back to a manual

[2:48:05] phone book so that I'll just can write down at least those top three, four, five emergency numbers.

[2:48:12] So when something like that happens, they could call because when we began to try to move

[2:48:15] them with the assistance of Councilman Council over to the, and over to, uh,

[2:48:26] Grathana Avenue, Rex and her, they weren't able to call and say, hey, mom, you know,

[2:48:31] door, I'm going over here meet me bad, you know, so that, that communication was also

[2:48:36] broken. So we have to do better, but we have to form tenant organizations so we could

[2:48:41] to get back to the structure that we need inside our communities to help each other.

[2:48:46] It should not take for the body to lay there three or four days as a community.

[2:48:51] If you're working at night, you might not assume it's NASA.

[2:48:53] But we need to know that, you know, Larry and I in the lobby every day.

[2:48:58] And if he doesn't come on Tuesday, if I don't see him Wednesday, that needs to be a trigger.

[2:49:03] I'm going to also do a public service announcement right here.

[2:49:06] Look y'all out in the hood in the community.

[2:49:09] Start checking on your people.

[2:49:10] Because, and some people don't have anybody, I get that.

[2:49:15] But some of us have got to do better checking on our family members.

[2:49:18] Don't stay upset with your sister because she wouldn't then get it $10.

[2:49:21] It's not worth that.

[2:49:22] Their family checking, at most people are posting now.

[2:49:26] They just check on each other, that's friends on Facebook.

[2:49:28] We really need to seriously do that because I'm telling you,

[2:49:32] the amount of deaths that we've had period,

[2:49:35] it's just been too much, particularly in these last two years.

[2:49:38] And the amount of people that we are finding in these units deceased is heart breaking for all of us because we know what's happening on a basis.

[2:49:49] So I'm sure Councilwoman B. and proud of the council colleagues will come.

[2:49:53] But we're going to set up something to come in to do a tenant meeting.

[2:49:57] We're also set up something to meet with the ownership.

[2:50:00] Again, because they do do bandage approach to everything. Every Wednesday as a heat issue, every somebody as a cooling issue, and all of these buildings have to be held accountable, particularly when they have the HVAC systems, and they're not servicing them properly. And we got to get on them. That's why I was so warm, cold in the course of the yesterday. It's got to start being money, money, money, money, penalties to make sure people are living in good conditions. So Councilwoman Bay and I, whoever else wants to come to

[2:50:29] what it would do something, what 1060, and also,

[2:50:33] Council as a whole, I'll ask through the clerk's office

[2:50:36] through the chair of Councilman Quentana if we could send the ownership

[2:50:40] of 1060 broad street to start a meeting request with the ownership

[2:50:45] and the members of that building so we can get things rectified.

[2:50:49] Thank you. Okay. That's another good time.

[2:50:51] Thank you. I just want to thank you. You need some assistance.

[2:50:55] You could give me a call or contact because I don't want to help. Thank you.

[2:50:58] That's almost it.

[2:51:00] I'm working the company that, that's in the East Ward.

[2:51:05] Also, if you could include Councilman Ossova, that 1060 happens to be in the East Ward.

[2:51:13] And again, the company is the Fairstat, the same company that purchased tuna vada.

[2:51:20] So again, we need to engage with them.

[2:51:23] Fairspot came to Newark and Boyd Asset Plaza, which is 1060, so again, City has been very good to that entity,

[2:51:36] with tax abatements and et cetera. So I think we should, and I can cover with you is set up a meeting

[2:51:42] with the management, and then with the tenants, but also to invite council and the silver

[2:51:48] I have to be his ward.

[2:51:51] All right.

[2:51:52] Yes, sir.

[2:51:54] Queen Dinesha Clyburn.

[2:52:03] Okay.

[2:52:08] Queen Dinesha Clyburn, North New Jersey.

[2:52:10] I am the community liaison manager for McDonald's.

[2:52:14] Now, thank you for the city.

[2:52:15] I think you all understand that for it.

[2:52:19] So, I'm a recent real quick.

[2:52:21] I'm a little confused about it.

[2:52:23] It really has nothing to do with me in particular.

[2:52:25] But because people sign up for these meetings and they don't leave space for other people and they don't show up other people

[2:52:33] Can't get their messages out so Pat council this is for you. I'm just reading don't you know, I could have called you, but

[2:52:40] Everybody needs and there was going on so it says

[2:52:43] Expect council what happened to a

[2:52:45] 124,000 that was awarded to weekway park association for valence prevention program

[2:52:51] He wanted the WPA to share it with the WPSA, that was not a part of the proposal.

[2:52:59] It's more or two weeks, so I want to give it to you personally, so you can really have a meeting, and I will love to sit in that too, because it keeps coming to my phone, and to my inbox, and that was on Facebook.

[2:53:09] And I know you could be a better person, and take care of this matter, please, and thank you.

[2:53:15] So I could get to my business, because I got enough of my place.

[2:53:19] So, what I came here for is today is that I oversee 14 McDonald's within the state of New Jersey, right?

[2:53:29] And we are a service of food. We have become a camp. We have become a safe zone.

[2:53:38] And when I say the state of New Jersey all the way from the state of Chicago, Jersey Bayon, New York, everything you name it.

[2:53:46] Everywhere. I'm coming to know I can't particularly because this is my city and you guys are my council and

[2:53:53] We need help

[2:53:55] I'm not afraid to ask for help. I know how to work with people even even if even if we don't know how to get along the other terms

[2:54:02] This is a term. I need y'all for you start it all gives it 12 and

[2:54:06] 180-8 spring for 11 will be doing big family nice, and we are asking you all to come. I know it's essential

[2:54:14] But I want you all to come because this is going to travel within the Fairbrew Street, which is the Iron Bound section.

[2:54:21] It's going to be in Broadway, which is Rainbow section.

[2:54:26] It's going to be on West Market.

[2:54:29] We will have love and for you, tap and please come.

[2:54:32] I'm sorry we didn't get a McDonald's over there yet.

[2:54:35] It's coming soon.

[2:54:36] But I'm asking for you all help.

[2:54:39] Sometimes I do this so much helping different people every day.

[2:54:42] to where's though. I'm dreaming that I did the work already and I didn't even do it. I really

[2:54:48] need you guys. Please. Our babies are in the crisis with school come in and things that happen

[2:54:55] and we're willing to feed them a hamburger, cheeseburger.

[2:55:00] We're fine to drink to do homework with them for two hours. You all have all these teams out here and they keep saying, we're doing this and we're doing that. I don't seem to meet up with him. No, we're sorry, I wasn't less than some music and food. Yesterday, I went to, we all set up a table at the West Side Park. That was amazing. No fights, no arguments, no nothing. But what I do have a problem with because I'm going to give you all credit when it's due. When y'all come around with y'all on to Rogers, right?

[2:55:29] Not to say it's everybody, but if the shoe fits where it I did see us today, but I stood up late, and that's my fault

[2:55:35] But there was an answer rise that they come through and there was tables on the side with me

[2:55:41] And then there was the OVP and the police and all of them other people and the mayor and the answer rise to pitches with them

[2:55:48] And I thought it was just me because sometimes I do think you all have a personal problem with me, but I could be overreact

[2:55:54] Nobody got pictures with them here, and I think it's a big concern that we're doing a service to the people that we all be awarded the same way

[2:56:02] It we're asking for you guys help send your age and represent their sense of somebody to come to support us because the work that most of us do it is not easy

[2:56:12] I'm now even into mentorship

[2:56:16] I got a case that McDonald's and again, we're just a restaurant

[2:56:19] This is just a franchise where there was an 18-year-old that was

[2:56:24] Took in from someone in Jersey, I'm not going to say where you're cuz I need to investigate it properly all the way from Texas

[2:56:31] Worf and Texas all the way down here. I had to call the nook director. Thank you from the home is um prevention and they didn't help me out

[2:56:40] I don't believe in a traffic in humans like I've never thought that that would hit my favorite person

[2:56:47] that it took me somewhere. We need help. McDonald's is dealing with a lot because I'm there. I need

[2:56:54] you all hands on deck. I don't care how we do. I need to meet with all of y'all to talk about

[2:57:00] all put cyclists because it's a lot and it's not enough police. It's not enough nobody's to do

[2:57:06] all this work and I know you guys. If I'm getting it like this, I could just imagine what someone you

[2:57:10] Thank you. Thank you so much. Councilmember Biden. Thank you, Councilman.

[2:57:16] Councilmember President. Queen. Thank you for the work that you do for our babies and in community.

[2:57:23] We get it. I don't think anybody here has a problem with supporting any good work that happens in the community.

[2:57:30] Please, this send us the information email it to us and we'll definitely see what support that we can provide.

[2:57:38] but just sort of sort of information and you know if the information that takes too long in the email,

[2:57:47] you got the number. Call. We got you.

[2:57:51] You know someone else?

[2:57:52] Thank you, Chair.

[2:57:54] To respond to your magical email.

[2:57:57] So there are two organizations that are in the South ward that need to learn how to be good stewards with each other.

[2:58:05] One of the individuals put in for a grant through the Office of Violence Prevention and

[2:58:12] Trauma Recovery when they came to the council meeting to address the council about what

[2:58:18] their proposal was, what their plan was, they had no plan.

[2:58:23] My council colleagues questioned them as well, deferred the item, moved it along when they came back

[2:58:31] And again, to my council colleagues, they continue to have no plan, programmatic plan, to handle

[2:58:39] what they wanted to do around violence.

[2:58:42] My council colleagues said to back to the administration, not Councilman Council.

[2:58:49] Issue that they are having, they have to work out as good stewards of a park, which is

[2:58:55] very important for the residents that live in the South Lord, that they should not have

[2:59:01] and 10 with the constant budding of heads with two different organizations that have different

[2:59:08] responsibilities. Now, what Council McGouns who did was to try to bring them together with the

[2:59:14] county to have a conversation around the importance of being good stewards in the park because it

[2:59:22] is important that the week-way park association and the week-way park sports authority know how to

[2:59:28] good citizens in the park for the residents that use the most frequent park in Essex County,

[2:59:36] which is weekway park. And so it is incredibly important that when people go bare,

[2:59:42] they don't have to go and feel a battle that is going on between two organizations,

[2:59:48] but understand what each of their roles and responsibilities are in the work that they do.

[2:59:54] If one serves as a steward of the park, they should focus on stewardship.

[3:00:00] If one serves as a sports authority, they should focus on cancer and clinics and helping young people end the park.

[3:00:08] As for the grant that they submitted, the reason that it was sent back, was because there was no programmatic plan.

[3:00:17] and violence is a serious issue in the city of North and specifically in the South

[3:00:23] War.

[3:00:24] And as an activist in this city that has been fighting against violence for almost over

[3:00:31] 30 something years and as a co-founder of the North and to Obama's coalition, I take

[3:00:36] that very serious, not to just vote on giving people money with no plan or programmatic

[3:00:43] move to make sure that something is happening around violence.

[3:00:47] That is the response to that question. Thank you.

[3:00:51] There's a one around tree. Oh, well.

[3:00:54] I did all I wanted to say to Queen for us.

[3:00:58] I'm going to go back to what she was saying about August 12th,

[3:01:00] because I'm going to move forward with you.

[3:01:02] I'm working with those children, the work you've done.

[3:01:04] We've worked together on many fronts.

[3:01:06] There's been some ups and downs and rounding rounds,

[3:01:08] but I'm so proud to see that you are moving forward with a positive attitude,

[3:01:13] making moves in this community, helping our young people.

[3:01:16] Sometimes, where your office space is, is not necessarily an actual office.

[3:01:21] Sometimes, very open, the community is not necessarily in city hall or in the church.

[3:01:27] It's outside, and what you're doing in these establishments, is what you're doing is giving McDonald's a face of doing things for the community.

[3:01:33] You might not have to start out thinking that.

[3:01:35] You might have to imagine where they have to manage and help the management do what they need to do to have a successful business.

[3:01:41] But part of that business, especially when they located in urban areas, is to service that

[3:01:47] present surrounding area, which is true to Nick come in, under the sort of my home to services

[3:01:53] at one time.

[3:01:54] But the difference with you in some of the problem management is that you have access to all

[3:01:58] those services, because at one time you were working with homeless services, and once I'm

[3:02:03] you working to help the problem.

[3:02:04] And whenever one's sideways or backwards or forwards, you now have that experience that

[3:02:09] and those problems come into McDonald's,

[3:02:11] you can assist and call them on the services

[3:02:14] that you have access to.

[3:02:16] So I see you on August 12.

[3:02:18] Thank you, next speaker.

[3:02:20] Sister, I see her bay.

[3:02:25] I'm not a prairie.

[3:02:27] Yes, she's here.

[3:02:29] She's here?

[3:02:29] Yes, she's here.

[3:02:30] Oh, yeah,

[3:02:33] she's here.

[3:02:34] Yes, she's in right there.

[3:02:37] Send up and get to the mic.

[3:02:49] Okay, don't start no time.

[3:02:51] She didn't even go out.

[3:02:52] I can't see, can y'all hear me now? Y'all can hear me?

[3:02:56] Yeah.

[3:02:57] Thank you.

[3:02:58] Where?

[3:02:59] Yes, I need reading, but I'll see.

[3:03:01] I'm about to welcome to that, man.

[3:03:04] Okay, cool being.

[3:03:05] But those of you who do not know me, I'm quite just to see you back.

[3:03:09] All right.

[3:03:09] I'm the co-founder of the White Terror,

[3:03:12] Clayton Place, Western Union Power.

[3:03:14] Power to the people.

[3:03:15] Civic Association, but I am here today.

[3:03:18] Even though I first don't want to thank all of you for being here,

[3:03:21] because I know your job is an easy, this is hard for me to see,

[3:03:24] looking at you all when I'm not reading.

[3:03:26] However, I wanted to really deal with my council person

[3:03:30] at council, but I'm a table that's another meeting

[3:03:32] because I got more important stuff to deal with right now.

[3:03:35] I want you to know that I love you.

[3:03:37] And I want to sit down with you and some grass

[3:03:39] through an individual so we can do what we got to do

[3:03:41] better than what we did in the last four years.

[3:03:43] I have not seen you on one meeting with none of the residents

[3:03:47] in Newark, for whatever reason, one of the district leaders

[3:03:50] it costs a lot of money to meet. Well, I don't give a rat sass. The bottom line is, this is our

[3:03:55] place too. So if we don't have a building out there, we can come up in here in the middle of

[3:03:59] tundiff, once a month or either once every three months and do what we need to do because I know

[3:04:05] you need help and I need your help too. All right. Now, the reason I'm here is because girl, let me see if

[3:04:12] I'm going to read this.

[3:04:18] The reason I'm here today is on behalf of a requesting.

[3:04:25] I've got to put it really, really close.

[3:04:29] I'm requesting a resolution,

[3:04:32] because for a booster support invitation

[3:04:36] for the Arts High School Class of 1976 in 10-year-old, 50th of reunion, I am one of the graduates

[3:04:49] from 1976 and from 1972 to 1976 we were there for four years and now it's 50 years

[3:04:58] this year so y'all can all give me a...

[3:05:00] Good evening, I'm glad. I'm here but I'm still living today. And can get with our classmate and celebrate. So since it's a see my centennial year, I just wanted you all to know that I'm here to be classed to resolution from you and I hope you won't have any issues and given it. I know I am going to send it to you by email. I only have one copy. So I'll probably just give it to y'all tomorrow, but y'all to get with me. No, I don't have it. Oh, you want me to try your glasses

[3:05:30] lady brother. Okay cool thing. Who else got some glasses? Okay cool. This is really good. This

[3:05:37] is better than what I had. This is what I want to share with you guys if I make. First of all,

[3:05:44] I need to say in like 30 seconds. Gerald Holloway, you all may or may not know him, but for 40 years,

[3:05:52] he has been the founder of FEV, which is fashion entertainment board, House Out of S. County College,

[3:05:59] for 38 years before he retired.

[3:06:02] He, the rest of my spoke to him,

[3:06:06] he was in Clare Mass Hospital,

[3:06:07] when he hopes to be out by this Saturday,

[3:06:10] because he's having his 40th

[3:06:14] bachelor show, is a celebration for him.

[3:06:16] And one of his first of all, five people had passed

[3:06:19] and four of the funnels I went to,

[3:06:21] so my spirit is kind of low and I apologize,

[3:06:23] but I dropped the ball with him,

[3:06:24] because I was supposed to get in touch with

[3:06:26] around shrink, honorable, around shrink, so that she can do the resolution for him.

[3:06:32] But whether he gets it by that date or not, it doesn't matter.

[3:06:35] I know that you guys are going to make sure that fashion is attainable.

[3:06:38] You got him.

[3:06:39] All right.

[3:06:39] Thank you so very much.

[3:06:41] Now, let's get back to the, what's really important right now.

[3:06:43] That is, our tie.

[3:06:46] I'm requesting that, maybe you may not even know, that our tie holds a reverent place in the history

[3:06:53] of the first public high school.

[3:06:55] Located in central for dedicated to the visual and the performing arts, right, in the United States, did you all hear what I said?

[3:07:05] The first, and it was established in 1931 as a pioneering model for creative education, academic, rigor, and civic leadership.

[3:07:16] There's so much that I can say about them, but if with your permission, I'm going to submit it to Paul and y'all by email. Is that okay? Is that agree?

[3:07:24] All right, last thing I want to say, notably, that I've found over 40 to 50 people that graduated from artime.

[3:07:32] Even the mayor's mother went to artime. Her class was 1961. She was there for three years prior to leaving and getting married.

[3:07:42] that's a business but she told me that's weak.

[3:07:44] Anywho, she is being considered as our keynote speaker

[3:07:48] on September, this at Liberty House.

[3:07:51] You know, all of them, but more importantly,

[3:07:53] I need some doubt.

[3:07:54] I need some money because we are doing

[3:07:58] a digital,

[3:08:01] commemorial journal.

[3:08:02] It's not a souvenir journal,

[3:08:04] this is one where a person can come,

[3:08:06] get the QR code and I'm listening to you

[3:08:10] and we're gonna have a conversation.

[3:08:12] It's only a hundred dollars, okay?

[3:08:14] Please.

[3:08:14] Thank you.

[3:08:16] Nice speaker.

[3:08:17] Use F-H-Bass.

[3:08:19] Appearing?

[3:08:46] Thank you.

[3:09:07] I know what Jesus is.

[3:09:42] But President just said that.

[3:09:59] Oh, Mr. Shabbat.

[3:10:00] Thank you. All right. Thank you. Good afternoon. Council members. I'm here to address the issue with my names. You said she's bad. I'm a district leader and a westward, the 40th district, but I'd be following my issue. I ran into a constituent with that need help from the committee. Name is a nine blocker.

[3:10:21] If you would like to address it, if she would call the force and that's affecting her restaurant,

[3:10:27] she needs your help to get re-opened.

[3:10:28] And if she needs your help to get re-opened, but I would like to say before I give it a mic,

[3:10:32] that if any document is come from the city of New York,

[3:10:35] that she's come from a letterhead, instead of a piece of paper, you know,

[3:10:39] given it to the people.

[3:10:40] Like a fishy document signed by the department head of the department,

[3:10:44] or where it's come from, or the mayor.

[3:10:46] No.

[3:10:50] No.

[3:10:52] No.

[3:10:52] I can speak to no.

[3:10:54] First, it has to be on the list.

[3:10:56] Oh, no problem.

[3:10:56] Okay.

[3:10:57] Sorry.

[3:10:58] Excuse me.

[3:10:59] Council president.

[3:11:00] Council president.

[3:11:01] Yes.

[3:11:02] In terms of mic.

[3:11:03] Council president.

[3:11:04] I must correct the statement made yesterday we got in beyond so.

[3:11:07] The claim that beyond so do not have.

[3:11:10] And you speak in terms of mic?

[3:11:11] No, hold on.

[3:11:12] I don't hold it.

[3:11:13] I dare.

[3:11:14] And become Hillary this weekend.

[3:11:16] Do you mean by his time one day?

[3:11:17] South Tom.

[3:11:18] Up the time many more.

[3:11:18] Our time all right?

[3:11:20] Back up.

[3:11:20] My God.

[3:11:20] Okay.

[3:11:20] I'm so proud of it.

[3:11:22] I must correct this statement, made yesterday

[3:11:24] regarding beyond sole.

[3:11:26] ちょっと.

[3:11:26] that beyond so does not have and has never had a business license is simply not factual.

[3:11:34] Beyond so has held a valid license since its inception.

[3:11:37] The business originally operated on J-3 before relocating to Bellville Township with

[3:11:43] operated out of a cloud, out of a cloud kitchen facility.

[3:11:47] The Bellville business license remained active through January, 2026 when beyond so was forced

[3:11:54] to win down operations at that location due to site specific issues.

[3:12:00] Following the transition, we also enter into a partnership agreement with the owner of Clinton

[3:12:05] Food Bar, serving as a managing agent.

[3:12:08] And this role as a manager, we also oversee the operations of the restaurant under Clinton

[3:12:13] Food Bar, existing establishment.

[3:12:16] There is partnership paperwork signed by the owner and myself to prove, to prove these claims,

[3:12:26] to clarify the legal structure, clean food bars, legally entry legally, entity name is

[3:12:34] Ali's Delhi, Bar and Grill, LLC, public records show that a Naya blocker is a registered

[3:12:42] manager for Ali's Delhi trade name, Clinton Bar.

[3:12:45] Therefore, the reason that the business license never existed, or that the operation was unauthorized, is incomplete and inaccurate.

[3:12:54] The next statement we're going to permit of each back and food handling concern is entirely false as well.

[3:13:01] As evidenced by photos and videos, the unit in question is simply standard.

[3:13:06] Standard loan, standard loan, portable AC unit.

[3:13:09] It requires zero electrical modifications, zero installation, and no structure work whatsoever.

[3:13:19] Meaning, no permitted specialized, no permit or specialized license is required by law.

[3:13:25] No unpromitted age-back work took place.

[3:13:28] Regarding the allegation of improper food handling,

[3:13:31] cold enforcement did bring in health inspectors to conduct an evaluation, however,

[3:13:36] do to find no improper food homes were made.

[3:13:41] However, no finding of improper food homes were made.

[3:13:46] In fact, following the inspection on July 1st,

[3:13:49] we were fully cleared by any violations by the health department.

[3:13:57] And officially, we opened on for business on July 2nd.

[3:14:03] This is a public knowledge and can be looked up as well.

[3:14:06] also to clarify the only outstanding permit is you can buy a minor plumbing work.

[3:14:12] I have instead of receiving a formal official notice on the city letter head, detailed in

[3:14:18] these requirements, we were merely handed a handwritten note on playing paper.

[3:14:24] More critically, more critically, the city has physically packed and locked out doors for

[3:14:29] us from resolving these issues. Every time a licensed contract arrived on a site, we must

[3:14:36] call the wait for a cold enforcement officer to come and lock the building. Just yesterday,

[3:14:44] our plumber waited on a site for an officer to be admitted. It slipped their mind to come

[3:14:51] and open the door. We were actively trying to comply, but the city employees neglecting

[3:14:58] Next leg is, it's physically blocked.

[3:15:00] We are doing what we are supposed to do. I can be a issue. Thank you, sir. All time is up. Thank you.

[3:15:08] Is not.

[3:15:14] Not tearing you down and creating false narratives. I'm going to protect themselves. If the goal.

[3:15:21] I'm going to stop. Thank you. No, no, but can you. When we get somebody to unstaff to Anthony. Anthony.

[3:15:31] Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[3:15:35] Thank you.

[3:15:37] Claire, are Hazel?

[3:15:40] We are.

[3:15:52] Then something's good afternoon.

[3:15:56] My name is Claire, are Hazel.

[3:15:59] I'm just here for the first time.

[3:16:01] I've been in North 68 years and I'm trying to keep North safe.

[3:16:07] My problem is we have electrical pole

[3:16:11] And the Northward, that public service was notified about it and it come, we have to walk through this area, where this electrical pole is leaning all the way over and they got it leaning on a tree.

[3:16:30] I call public service, they came out and put, do not disturb around the pole.

[3:16:40] Are you going to not disturb it if you got to work by it?

[3:16:43] It's unsafe, and then it got all this garbage that the city could do better.

[3:16:50] They got all this garbage where the service comes from the train, the trains on Franklin Street,

[3:16:59] And the Northward is terrible.

[3:17:02] There's garbage deer.

[3:17:03] They don't clean it.

[3:17:06] The service has to be enough to put a red sticker around that phone.

[3:17:11] It's unsafe.

[3:17:13] I don't feel safe.

[3:17:15] And there's a little agreement that come over to you and we'll walk us and can't unsafe.

[3:17:20] The poll is here.

[3:17:21] I had a picture of it, but I can't show it to them.

[3:17:24] I will get a picture to you, the law for a councilman.

[3:17:28] I will get a picture to you, but can you do something about it?

[3:17:32] We're public service.

[3:17:33] They're just ignoring me.

[3:17:36] And I know that I taught loud, because I don't hear good.

[3:17:39] But if you can't do something about that,

[3:17:42] before something happens to the people over there.

[3:17:47] And another thing I would like to just put a little

[3:17:51] note on, how many minutes I have, sir?

[3:17:56] I can't see that part.

[3:17:57] How many minutes do I have, sir?

[3:18:00] Two.

[3:18:00] Thank you.

[3:18:01] I just want to make an omission that the merchants that they allow it to come into

[3:18:05] North to do unsafe things, break the law, and they go back to where they live.

[3:18:12] I just don't understand that.

[3:18:15] I'm dealing with a merchant now that they live in North, and he's been over the end of

[3:18:19] West sport.

[3:18:20] But 22 years, I went and checked.

[3:18:23] He has 21 violation with a better business bureau.

[3:18:27] He's selling bad cars and I'm going to pick it to place.

[3:18:31] I want to know can I do that?

[3:18:35] I'm talking to you, no board, Councilman.

[3:18:42] Oh, you can't give me an answer now.

[3:18:43] Well, in the meantime, I'll be at the next meeting.

[3:18:46] Hopefully, something will be done.

[3:18:48] Thank you so much.

[3:18:51] Now's a grand motion.

[3:18:53] Mr. President, with the situation with the poll,

[3:18:58] We're talking right by 900 Franklin, so if we can send correspondence to our contact,

[3:19:06] their APC and GM, Mr. Gary Williams, to address a situation with the poll.

[3:19:12] And then also to New Jersey transit, which is responsible for the city subway that's right

[3:19:18] by there that we complain about all the time about garbage and other things.

[3:19:25] And then we should refer the resident to State Department of Consumer Affairs if she was a victim of some kind of fraud with the purchase of her vehicle.

[3:19:37] They should assign someone to a sister with this dealership in North.

[3:19:49] Councilman Ramos, as you indicated, maybe a sense of course,

[3:19:54] on us.

[3:19:55] Yes, thank you.

[3:19:57] Carmella Bowers?

[3:20:00] My

[3:20:09] name is Carmella Bowers. I was resident of Newark. I was born and raised the 86 years ago. I almost 87. I taught school here. I gave back to the community. So I'm here to find out if somebody can get back with me. I'm a senior in the senior building.

[3:20:34] and I was going to the daycare. Every time I go and meet people and have a little

[3:20:42] bit of fun, I go home when I come back to tell me I can't come because I don't have

[3:20:49] Medicaid. I think that's unfair. Because I worked in North, I was a teacher, I worked in

[3:21:04] And I worked, and my taxes is paying for the people who's getting Medicaid.

[3:21:15] How come I can get Medicaid?

[3:21:17] How come I can't get on the daycare for seniors just because I'm on Medicaid?

[3:21:28] Why?

[3:21:28] Because I worked.

[3:21:30] Yes, because I was taught the work.

[3:21:32] from my family and I'm proud that I worked. I couldn't work at first. I was

[3:21:39] getting well-fanned. I went to school, I graduated, I got a job teaching in

[3:21:48] Newark, teaching their children, how to read. I became the resource teacher.

[3:22:03] I

[3:22:04] play together when we were kids.

[3:22:08] It's bad.

[3:22:09] Guys, Barack is mother and I used to play together when we were kids.

[3:22:14] I went to Alabama to raise two of my grandchildren.

[3:22:19] At the end, I came back.

[3:22:22] My grandchildren here said, Grandma, we want you back

[3:22:25] because you get an old and you need to be close so we can get to you.

[3:22:30] So I'm back.

[3:22:32] I said, I'll come back if I could live downtown in New York.

[3:22:36] That's where I want to live.

[3:22:40] I moved in 1180 Raymond Boulevard.

[3:22:43] They restored their $1,500 a month.

[3:22:46] I was paying it.

[3:22:48] And I loved it, dear.

[3:22:49] But every year they went up on me $200.

[3:22:54] That was not supposed to be.

[3:22:57] Because when I was younger and lived in North,

[3:23:01] Mayor Gibson said you can't go up but three percent every year so I said I'm going to

[3:23:10] city hall and talk to somebody because I think somebody could help. I came here and they helped me.

[3:23:19] Now I want to go to the daycare because I get tired sitting in the house doing nothing.

[3:23:26] I'm getting old. When I came here I was moving. Since I've been here, I got this cane.

[3:23:35] I turned around, I'm sick. I got a move. I can't sit still.

[3:23:42] Let me go to date here with my Medicare.

[3:23:48] They charge you. They tell you. They count your gross.

[3:23:54] But I don't get my gross, I got a pay grant which is high.

[3:23:59] I got about four, which is high.

[3:24:04] I got a pay like you bill which is high.

[3:24:08] I pay them out for my own money.

[3:24:11] Medicare and medical insurance.

[3:24:14] Why?

[3:24:15] Because I had to retire at 22 and a half years.

[3:24:20] That twenty-five, twenty-two and a half, to take care of two of my grandchildren, because my baby daughter was on drugs, and I was not letting him go in no forced home.

[3:24:35] So I raised my grandkids, and Alabama, because I didn't want to raise him here.

[3:24:41] I figured my grandson was to, you know, he just go and do anything with anybody to teach him.

[3:24:47] Do the follow-up, so I took him away.

[3:24:51] Now he has his own family.

[3:24:54] He's doing good.

[3:24:55] My granddaughter has her family.

[3:24:57] She's doing good now and by myself.

[3:25:00] I need to go to date 10 and they tell me the people in the old people in the senior bills, you can't do nothing about that, because the government says.

[3:25:13] Thank you. Thank you so much council. We're in bay and I'm sorry.

[3:25:16] You should ask where we see it from senior service.

[3:25:18] You want? No, not in my mind.

[3:25:20] Yes.

[3:25:21] Oh, they consist of the Carmella.

[3:25:24] We already spoke and our team members have already spoken with Ms. Carmella.

[3:25:30] we're going to make sure that she gets through the daycare. Okay? And thank you. Thank you.

[3:25:38] All right. Thank you. Thank you, Councillor. Next speaker, Walter Jacobs.

[3:25:44] Appearing? Everyone's meeting.

[3:25:55] My name is Walter Jacobs, I'm the president of Quartz, I was attending. Hello, hello.

[3:26:02] I'm the president of Quartz Street Tenet Council.

[3:26:05] We

[3:26:08] are trying to help Mrs. Carmella, you know, I know when she was a little girl, you know, so I'm kind of old myself, but I want to graduate everybody who was reelected.

[3:26:24] That's what's important here for me, I want to talk about the real lecture.

[3:26:28] I don't know why people come in here and call you criminals and things like that nature.

[3:26:35] Hello again.

[3:26:37] Okay, but I appreciate you and the people of North appreciate you because you elected again

[3:26:45] Oh, she's not, she's not up there, but I just want to say congratulations on the mayor,

[3:26:51] it's so much she's keeping the city going last the last four years. You kept the lights on in the city.

[3:26:57] Okay, you imagine what you're going to do these four years coming up, it's going to be a long

[3:27:01] in North. North is a beautiful city, just like Ms. Carmel said, she loves North. I love North.

[3:27:07] We want to see North go forward, we see people coming in, we try to keep things stable for the

[3:27:14] scenes I'm a senior. I'm frightened myself. They made raise my rent twice a year. So I just want to say,

[3:27:22] thank you for all the work you have done. I want to also thank Milly. It was a campaign manager for

[3:27:28] people. He did a great job. Look at that. And then I want to say hello to the chairman of

[3:27:36] the Central Ward of what's the state space, the ship space. And I just want to say thank you again.

[3:27:45] Well, you're a service.

[3:27:48] Tomorrow, young blood.

[3:27:50] Very,

[3:27:54] a young blood.

[3:27:58] So in March of 2025, I presented an ordinance and a resolution to our council members.

[3:28:03] The first is the full transparency ordinance.

[3:28:07] It's purpose.

[3:28:09] It's to give no residents a public real-time system

[3:28:11] that shows exactly how our public money is being spent.

[3:28:15] And the second is the public decision or resolution.

[3:28:20] It's purpose is to ensure that city council decisions

[3:28:23] are informed.

[3:28:27] That's okay.

[3:28:30] It's purpose is to give no residents a real public real-time system

[3:28:34] that shows exactly how public money has been spent, and the second is the public decision

[3:28:38] resolution.

[3:28:39] The second resolution, the purpose is to ensure that city council decisions are informed

[3:28:50] by public input through official poll surveys and other community engagement methods.

[3:28:56] There are already proven models for transparent government spending and using technology

[3:29:02] to strengthen public participation in government.

[3:29:06] New York City is considered the gold standard with their checkbook and WRC platform that allows

[3:29:11] residents to search government payments, contracts, payroll, information, revenue and much

[3:29:17] more.

[3:29:18] And Taipei, they created a platform called VTaiwan, which allows residents to participate

[3:29:24] in policy discussions and help shape government decisions before they are made.

[3:29:29] I truly believe these two pieces of legislation are most important, reform and our city right now,

[3:29:36] because too many residents do not trust that our government is making decisions in the best interests of residents.

[3:29:43] They're simply too much, he says, she said, happening in our city, and I'm not comfortable with that,

[3:29:48] because it creates factions, if you use division, and it makes it harder for residents to know what to trust.

[3:29:54] The example that's the most recent example is right now.

[3:30:00] Businesses are currently online to be in whether Councilman Jackson or a deputy mayor is telling a truth.

[3:30:06] And for me, that's just unbelievable that we're in 2026 and residents don't have one central place to find reliable information and data about what's happening in our city.

[3:30:17] So again, I have these two legislations.

[3:30:19] They're designed to replace speculation with facts by giving residents direct access to information in a strong voice and decision-making.

[3:30:28] and the decision making process, I already provided copies to most of you, so I just came here today

[3:30:34] to give a copy to Ms. Jackson and Ms. Bay. That's all. Thank you. Thank you. I'm Clark,

[3:30:41] we do the time as possible that we can close a meeting because we will be here if we are going to

[3:30:49] do every motion. So if we, my colleagues, if we can just add the motions today and close a meeting

[3:30:57] and then start getting in the budget ready?

[3:31:01] Yes, sir.

[3:31:02] Yes, sir.

[3:31:02] Can all the motions can be done by Council to you, by tomorrow, or their motions, or any

[3:31:11] a suggestion they have?

[3:31:12] I said, we indicated before that, from now on, on a Tuesday, when people have appetizers,

[3:31:18] there will be a camera that will set up upstairs.

[3:31:21] Following the meeting, those appetizers of council members will have an appetizer,

[3:31:26] or say an event, some kind of event that they are hosting or whatever, that Tuesday they will

[3:31:33] go upstairs to the conference room and record after the council meeting it will be in play.

[3:31:41] Right? Yes. Thank you.

[3:31:44] On administration? Yeah, okay.

[3:31:47] And then thank you. All right.

[3:31:50] I mean, the budget, the budget, the budget people waiting.

[3:31:54] This will be short, Eric Huntington, Business Minister.

[3:31:56] We just want to respond to a couple of things quickly.

[3:32:00] I know that there was a sort of a concern

[3:32:02] that funds were being diverted from the S.Y.E.P.

[3:32:05] to some of youth employment programs.

[3:32:06] I think I age a Hemingway is here to just to spell that notion.

[3:32:10] But while she, if she's still here and gets together,

[3:32:12] I just want to respond briefly to the comments about beyond soul.

[3:32:16] I wanted to be very respectful of the business

[3:32:18] and not bring more attention to what the problems are

[3:32:21] than is necessary, but given the call of we from the gentleman who spoke on her behalf, Mr.

[3:32:27] Shabbaz, I'm prepared to submit pictures to the City Council for the official record

[3:32:33] that the public can see if they want to, of the deplorable conditions that were found

[3:32:36] when quote enforcement went there.

[3:32:38] I'd rather not do that, but if they want to come continue to give misinformation, I will

[3:32:43] respond in kind.

[3:32:44] I also will ask for if there are the appropriate business license, payroll support, all the

[3:32:52] appropriate certificates if they are brought to me, the business administrator who's

[3:32:56] responsible for the administration of the entire city.

[3:32:59] I will make sure that beyond so is treated fairly and accordingly.

[3:33:03] I haven't been contacted at all, not even after yesterday's comments, but if they want to do so,

[3:33:08] I will do that.

[3:33:08] They did not come see me last week.

[3:33:10] We should not shout out for nobody came.

[3:33:12] We're going to listen to everyone, but we're not going to, but he, the business administrator

[3:33:18] listens to every speaker, it is his right now to listen for folks to listen to him,

[3:33:24] please.

[3:33:25] And this is not to scold anyone or to try to say anything, it is just about respect.

[3:33:30] He will expect that your conversation, please respect his conversation.

[3:33:35] every business, every business has to have a business license in their name or in a treating

[3:33:41] as a doing business as capacity. This business doesn't have that. I never said that they never

[3:33:49] had a valid license. I said you don't have a valid license today. If the valid license is presented,

[3:33:55] I will work to get them open. I don't have a problem with that. I think it's important for us to

[3:34:01] make sure that all businesses who want to operate in this city at the opportunity to do so,

[3:34:05] but we have to balance that against places, particularly those places who sell food to ensure

[3:34:09] that our residents are not subjected to conditions that are inappropriate.

[3:34:16] I think the last thing I have to say is with respect to the American Rescue Plan Act,

[3:34:20] the city got $83 million and it's under, you know, tremendous scrutiny from the federal

[3:34:25] government. If anybody wants information about how that money was spent, we can get that to them

[3:34:29] as well. I don't know about the billions of dollars that the city should have gotten

[3:34:33] it was eligible for. That was referenced by the council day as if I age is here.

[3:34:41] You can address the payroll situation quickly.

[3:34:45] Well, I'm not sure. You had your mouth. I cannot. We cannot get into it. Later on, we'll talk to

[3:34:50] you as follow. I cannot have. We cannot. It's not. We've got a budget too.

[3:35:01] Good afternoon. I am a way direct to use services. So I do know there was a couple concerns that was mentioned in the meeting yesterday.

[3:35:12] And I want to give you guys as much clarity as possible as I do run a day-to-day operation for some youth employment. So here I am. Any questions? Any concerns? Please allow me to answer on Twitter best of my ability.

[3:35:28] Any questions?

[3:35:30] Don, don't, don't, don't.

[3:35:32] Just, it's not here.

[3:35:35] It's in me, I don't know where she's at.

[3:35:39] Let me, let me just.

[3:35:53] All right we have.

[3:36:03] Okay, just.

[3:36:05] The fold.

[3:36:08] Wow.

[3:36:09] I know.

[3:36:10] I told.

[3:36:12] Okay, can we, just to be a,

[3:36:15] it's to be a, can we do this on another?

[3:36:17] I can't we just do this at a special war because it because of the the budget we need to close and

[3:36:27] and because I think it's good. Right and I think we can we could we go wait on as you say could be

[3:36:33] up or long. No no no we we have a budget we have the apartments that we have said to them at four o'clock

[3:36:42] So we need to move forward. Close the meeting must be a and then have this meeting and

[3:36:49] And if council women Jackson would like to meet with you. I think you should do that immediately and then do a presentation to the council sometime

[3:36:58] And September. I mean, it's just press total time. We're press. Oh, you're okay

[3:37:05] You want to make a statement. So I can't make a statement

[3:37:12] which is about 1,300 young people, and with that, just to give you guys some clarity,

[3:37:18] we were able to about 1,000 young people was able to go into direct deposits.

[3:37:25] So when people speak about paid issues or paid concerns, most of our kids receive an direct deposit.

[3:37:32] This is the first time in history that we had this many last year.

[3:37:34] We want to have 50 this year. We have close to 1,000.

[3:37:37] So I don't mind me and with Councilman Jackson, I don't mind at all.

[3:37:43] I did, you did say on Tuesday you was coming by the office, but please don't hesitate.

[3:37:47] I would love to come see our office.

[3:37:48] I gave you guys a fold of everything in terms of the flyers, our next gen, our up next.

[3:37:55] Letting you know we do have the demographic attorney ages 18 to 24 and then we also have 14 to 24 as well.

[3:38:01] All that information is in the folder that I gave you guys and I sent you guys all the information on very email as well.

[3:38:07] We'll get back to this one quick thing.

[3:38:10] Yes. I definitely do want to meet ASAP, but I'm going to say this to you on the record.

[3:38:14] And we don't have an issue of a folks do and I'll deal with that later.

[3:38:19] Obviously over a hundred text messages yesterday and my phone with people,

[3:38:25] you children and their parents and the summer youth program that have not been paid.

[3:38:30] So what I want to say is this, but I want to say is this, I'll never represent anything.

[3:38:35] I can hand you my phone now because I'm still getting taxes.

[3:38:38] I'm just saying we have an issue, we have always had an issue and this year for me, we

[3:38:44] should have all the bumps in the road we had, they should have been clarified and fixed.

[3:38:48] The fact that these kids are working on staggered schedules, the fact that Monday, several youth

[3:38:54] were told that it was the end of their program, including some of that work in this building.

[3:38:59] Okay, I wasn't disputing anything, I was stating what I was told.

[3:39:03] I interview those three young people in the mail room.

[3:39:06] I interview three young people that work as somebody else's department.

[3:39:10] And so when I'm talking to the participant and they're telling me

[3:39:14] and I have young people who are getting ready to go to college,

[3:39:17] that are panicking because they don't have their pay.

[3:39:21] That's why I'm simply asking Ms. Gaylord.

[3:39:24] So I definitely want to sit down with you, so we can go through that.

[3:39:27] But we have got to do better and I'm just going to say this in fact,

[3:39:30] it's been an issue every year.

[3:39:32] I remember under the book, we had about pizza for the children down at a symphony hall.

[3:39:37] So let's not act like that didn't happen either.

[3:39:39] But every year there is an issue with our children being a pain.

[3:39:44] The young lady who's mother came yesterday.

[3:39:46] That child tries to do it.

[3:39:48] She got paid.

[3:39:48] She got paid, but she tried to do direct deposit.

[3:39:51] And what was she was told is that she has to use the direct pay card.

[3:39:55] So I didn't want her mother to come back down here today,

[3:39:58] because this is not a back and forth.

[3:40:00] People are presenting what's going on with them. Our mother came yesterday. So that was good enough for me.

[3:40:05] So I will say this, the 100 that you do have, you do have the pay registry, so you can actually check your own, your reference, who was receiving pay and who did it.

[3:40:15] All right, no problem.

[3:40:16] I don't quite agree. We're going to bring this meeting to a conclusion.

[3:40:20] We're going to meet tomorrow.

[3:40:21] No, not tomorrow. Okay.

[3:40:23] We'll meet.

[3:40:26] You guys, thank you.

[3:40:28] All right.

[3:40:36] Yes,

[3:40:56] can we have a 10 minute so we can organize a 10 minutes of 15 minutes.
