All right. 31 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Okay. 32 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,640 Pro Troy Hills proclamation. Whereas ovarian cancer is a serious and 33 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,360 life-threatening disease that affects thousands of women and families across 34 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:15,200 the United States each year. And approximately 21,000 women in the United 35 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:20,159 States are expected to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2026. And 36 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:25,280 approximately 12,450 women will lose their lives to this 37 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:31,280 disease. cancer is often difficult to detect in 38 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:36,000 early stages as symptoms can be subtle and there is currently no reliable 39 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,239 screening test for women who do not have signs or symptoms. 40 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,319 Common warning signs may include persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal 41 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:52,080 pain, or pressure, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, changes in urinary 42 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,560 and bowel habits, back pain, and usual vaginal bleeding or discharge. 43 00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,799 Increased awareness of the sign and symptoms of ovarian cancer along with 44 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:05,840 knowledge of personal and family medical history can empower women to advocate 45 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:11,599 for their health and seek appropriate medical attention. Ovarian cancer 46 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:16,639 awareness month provides an opportunity to honor those who have lost their lives 47 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,799 to ovarian cancer, support those currently battling with disease, 48 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:25,199 celebrate survivors, recognize their families and caregivers, and promote 49 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,280 continued research, education, and awareness. 50 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:35,280 The Passover Pacific joins communities across the nation in raising awareness 51 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:40,639 of ovarian cancer and offering hope and support to all those who lives have been 52 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:46,479 affected by this disease. Now therefore, I prophesy moral township 53 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:52,880 of Pipney, Troy Hills, do hereby proclaim September 2026 as ovarian 54 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:59,199 cancer awareness month in the township of Pipney Troy Hills and encourage all 55 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:05,120 residents to learn the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

I'm Jonathan Sacket. I'm council vice 61 00:05:52,639 --> 00:06:00,160 president Rockway Township. This actually is my sister. She's an ovar 62 00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:05,360 ovarian cancer survivor. Um, she was diagnosed with stage three in her 30s as 63 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:10,080 well as breast cancer at the same time. The sackets go around the country 64 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,400 collecting ovarian cancer proclamations. Our goal this year is over a 100 65 00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:20,639 proclamations. My sister got her first one from us in Rockway Township in 2021. 66 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:25,360 Last year we had about 80. This year we're on pace to over 100. So tonight 67 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,199 I'm here. I'm going to Denver after this. My brother is collecting some down 68 00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,440 in Barnagot and my sister lives in Arizona.

Go ahead. 81 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:30,479 » Uh Kendallski for symphony. Uh good evening. I just wanted to say a couple 82 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:35,440 of words about the importance of passing an ordinance to stop the proliferation 83 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:41,120 of data centers or prohibit large data centers in particular. Uh I know you're 84 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:46,400 all aware of this issue. Uh it's now become a major issue probably in most 85 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:51,360 political races. Um everybody is aware of it. However, uh just because Paripony 86 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,319 may not feel like the right place for a data center doesn't mean that we 87 00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:01,919 shouldn't protect ourselves. AI and the internet are going to be with us 88 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:05,840 forever. I mean forever. And uh what might not be a threat or a problem now. 89 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,680 Uh who knows what could happen in the future. Uh you don't want to be caught 90 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:15,120 with a builder coming in a fine for an you know presenting an application for a 91 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:21,520 data center and you don't have any ability to protect yourselves. So, uh, I 92 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:28,319 know that you have, uh, I think a couple of, uh, data center, uh, ordinances, uh, 93 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:32,560 draft ordinances that you're looking at. And, uh, I just want to encourage you to 94 00:08:30,905 --> 00:08:40,959 [cough] move along with them. Let's get this done. And, uh, hopefully, uh, you 95 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:45,120 know, we can do, uh, and live on the one that you got the car. And if 96 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:50,399 anybody has any questions on any of the stuff, you know, you can find all the 97 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:55,120 stuff I put in [laughter] there that uh you might not care for, whatever. Um 98 00:08:53,440 --> 00:09:00,320 you know, you can contact me and I'm happy to do any research on any issues 99 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:04,720 that that come up. So uh let's let's put this together. You've got a great 100 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,480 template to work with. It's very robust. And uh I would ask that you make it a 101 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:13,680 priority, review the draft and make a commitment to producing a version that 102 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:18,160 can be presented at the next meeting and read on first, you know, for first 103 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,600 reading two weeks from tonight. So, thanks very much for your efforts on 104 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,560 this and uh let's just get this done and put it behind us. Thanks. 105 00:09:25,926 --> 00:09:27,946 [applause] 106 00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:56,839 Tim Bario's 24 Farmstead Drive. Um, I also would like to be heard on these 107 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,839 data centers. um 108 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:08,080 » I think it's at least 10 years that Porcupinly currently has two active data 109 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:15,200 centers. How do I know this? Because part of my IT career has been spent 110 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:20,079 working at the Cologic data centers, not including the other ones located in the 111 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:25,360 in our area here in Morris County and especially down in Bergen County. 112 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:31,440 Um for those of us who may not be remembering during Sandy a lot of our 113 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:40,800 businesses stayed up because of these data centers. Now in 2026 we are looking 114 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:47,120 at the uh explosion of AI. AI has takes a lot of shapes and sizes. But let me 115 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:52,399 explain what happens to AI. These AI systems require a lot of power, a lot of 116 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:59,040 uh resources, uh climate control, you know, uh we talk 117 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:05,040 about AI helping us with health. We talk about AI helping us with surgeries, 118 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:09,920 helping around the world. We are all connected 119 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:15,760 uh through these data centers. So, let's not be so shortsighted and take what is 120 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:20,240 considerably uh challenging information that, you 121 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:24,880 know, we're going to we're going to hurt the environment and we're going to do 122 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,560 the water and the whole bit. Tell you right now in part 123 00:11:26,959 --> 00:11:34,560 I don't think too many people know these data centers existed. It is no longer 124 00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:40,480 okay just to follow the one side of click or not. Data centers bring tax 125 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,720 dollars. data centers helps pay for some of these services that we need in this 126 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:49,600 town. Unless of course we're handing out pilots, 127 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:56,240 but what you need to know is that data centers are the future. 128 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:59,760 And you know, Caucus, there are a bunch of data centers down 129 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:04,320 there that downtown Manhattan runs off of and I don't see them shutting them 130 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:08,320 down or setting up ordinances to stop them from being built in Edison. Also, 131 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:16,720 there's a lot of tax dollars involved with these data centers. 132 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:23,279 Last thing, um, and and this is just I'm asking for help. 133 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:28,560 Uh, a close colleague of mine, um, customer who lives on Troy Metals Road 134 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:34,000 here in Paripany. Um, 135 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:38,560 his wife had passed away in March from cancer. 136 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:42,000 I was at his house today because his printer wouldn't work because he was 137 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:47,519 trying to finish filling a police report. 138 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:52,240 Three of our lowass citizen, where the hell they came from, broke it into his 139 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:57,200 poor man's house, stole what they thought was a jewelry 140 00:12:54,240 --> 00:13:03,360 box. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It was his wife's ashes, 141 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:08,160 not including a storage a um one of those steel case boxes in which had his 142 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:12,959 wife's death certificate, marriage certificate, birth certificate. I 143 00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:16,720 watched this man walk his wife to the grave. 144 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:21,519 Now, I know the police have been called, they've done their interviews, there are 145 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:24,519 pictures, there are videos, but two things. 146 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:33,120 We need to do something. There are too many of these stories coming out. And 147 00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:39,519 now this poor guy lost his wife again. I just left his house. He is in tears. 148 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:43,519 And he's not he's not unrealistic. He probably knows 149 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:49,120 that he's never going to have he's lost his wife twice. 150 00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:54,480 I am asking, especially if you're in the Troy Meadows section of Paripany or any 151 00:13:51,519 --> 00:13:59,440 place else, you check your Ring cameras, whatever. But we really need to see 152 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:04,399 something, say something for our our other citizens. I've been part been 153 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,839 working I worked with Cassandra Grasso trying to do a lot of these um you know, 154 00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:14,320 you know, working at the neighborhood watches and stuff like that. You know, I 155 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:20,480 and I know we're all working hard. We got a thousand things to do, but my 156 00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:24,160 heart broke today and uh I wish there was something to do. I don't think there 157 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:27,320 is, but I wanted to mention it. So, thank you. 158 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:40,279 » Sorry to hear that. Tim, we'll talk afterwards. Okay. 159 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,760 I don't know why. 160 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:09,120 » Okay. Um, my name is Bob Vanedzia and I'm from Caripony. 161 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:14,800 And uh, as we've seen here tonight, lately the subject of data centers has 162 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:20,079 become a hot topic of discussion on TV news programs, all forms of internet 163 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:25,920 media, and in the municipal governing body meetings all over the country, 164 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:30,399 including here in Paripony. This issue has gotten so much attention 165 00:15:28,079 --> 00:15:35,440 and is so pervasive that has now become a major issue for the November midterm 166 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:40,959 elections. Media portrayal of data centers has been 167 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:47,279 overwhelmingly negative. So it comes as no surprise that much of the public has 168 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:52,079 adopted a negative opinion about them. I believe that it will be severely 169 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:58,800 detriment detrimental to the country if public opinion is able to significantly 170 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:04,079 slow down the growth of data centers. Like it or not, the US is involved in 171 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:10,720 technology war with China and data centers and AI 172 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:16,959 are the current battlefront in my opinion. I'm saying in in the 173 00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:21,920 planning column in Forbes magazine, retired US Air Force Lieutenant General 174 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:28,240 David Depula, the dean of the Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies, stated 175 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:33,680 that AI data centers are not just about cloud computing. They're the backbone of 176 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:40,079 military and intelligence superiority, and their development must be a top 177 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:44,800 national priority. General Depula is just one of many generals who hold that 178 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:50,800 same opinion. On the other hand, there's not a single US military general on 179 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,880 record who is in opposition to data centers 180 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:59,279 because data centers are so important to our national security. It seems that the 181 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:04,799 growth of these facilities is essential to the country. But are they good for 182 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:10,319 Pipony? Well, that depends on what type of data 183 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:14,799 center we're talking about. The media never makes clear, and it's probably on 184 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:19,360 purpose, that there are actually two types of data centers. 185 00:17:17,439 --> 00:17:25,039 There are the humongous facilities that support AI, which consume human huge 186 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:31,039 amounts of water and electricity. But there are also much smaller nonAI 187 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:38,080 traditional data centers which support servers, storage, networking, and 188 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:46,640 internet service. To date, no AI data centers exist in Mars County. 189 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:51,360 But six traditional data centers already are already in operation here. Moreover, 190 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:57,120 a company called Collog, which you heard, currently operates one of these 191 00:17:53,919 --> 00:18:01,080 traditional data centers at 200 Webro Road in Paripity. 192 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:09,280 Concern about water usage is really a non-issue 193 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:15,679 at all of the Mars County data centers because all of them are air cooled, 194 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:22,320 don't use water. The Cologic data center uses only about 5% of the water used by 195 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:27,360 a 400 unit apartment complex such as 1515 196 00:18:23,919 --> 00:18:32,320 Route 10. And unlike the apartments, the data center generates minimal traffic 197 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:36,960 and sends no children to our school system. 198 00:18:33,919 --> 00:18:43,120 As I mentioned before, there are no AI data centers in Paripony and there 199 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:48,960 likely will never be one. All uh AI facilities generate noise requiring very 200 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:54,160 large buffers between them and residential areas. A lot of 201 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:59,039 approximately 100 acres would be necessary to meet the noise buffer 202 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:04,960 requirements and no buildable lots of that size exist in Paripony. 203 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:09,679 The services provided by traditional and AI centers are essential to providing 204 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:15,440 computer power to businesses, public and military. There seems to be no re valid 205 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:20,799 reason for opposing the traditional type data centers in parsip or anywhere else 206 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:26,880 in the country for that matter. The construction of AI Dennis uh data 207 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:30,640 centers is is also a non-issue here in Paripony 208 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:37,679 because there are no suitable lots where they can be located. So hopefully people 209 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:43,120 will fact check the media and me before deciding whether to oppose data centers 210 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:49,200 or not. Thank you. >> Thank you. So let me just say because 211 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:55,039 the both of you came up with your comments and I will let you know right 212 00:19:51,360 --> 00:20:02,720 now that I hear them and you are right. We are not writing an ordinance to ban 213 00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:07,280 all data centers large. We know we have those data centers here and we 214 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:15,039 understand that there are all kinds of data centers and we know that um college 215 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:21,840 hex is one of them and what we're talking about is having large AI data 216 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:27,840 centers that will in that may increase the electric cost of people in paripony 217 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:34,880 that will use our water that would be larger than the collar jacks large big 218 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:42,000 ones. larger than 10 megawatt and would be using recyc nonrecyclable 219 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:47,280 um electricity or water because those are the concerns. So when you see the 220 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:51,200 ordinance that comes out, we'll discuss it. We took a lot of time to make sure 221 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:55,919 we're not throwing the baby out with the bath water because we do understand the 222 00:20:53,520 --> 00:21:03,240 points that you've made and that they're they're reasonable. 223 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:03,240 So we hear you 224 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:15,360 Tony Fano 401 Robin Hood Road. Sorry to disagree with you, Mr. Hernandez, but uh 225 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:19,200 there's a thing called a linear generator. 226 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:25,039 It produces can run off of three types of fuel just by flip of a switch and it 227 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:31,600 turns around. is produced gigawatt not megawatt gigawatts that give the AI 228 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:35,440 center power and power can produce power to the towns so it's not going to 229 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:41,679 increase the electricity cost they can also use subcompact nuclear generators 230 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:47,039 which will not produce second item uh we have a gentleman who got hurt sanitation 231 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:52,559 truck at his fundraisers this month I think it's on the 12th so I asking 232 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:56,840 people to come out but uh if you really want to look at look outside the box. 233 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,760 » Thank you Tony 234 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:08,880 Pretty Kendani Glenmon comments. So just one point on data centers irrespective 235 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,120 whether they can have a self-generating power unit irrespective of whether it 236 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:17,840 sits in Morris County we're all connected to the grid. So whether it's 237 00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:22,000 in Morris County, Virginia, wherever whenever they want run the surge, you 238 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,480 know, basically we get priced on surge pricing, it will impact us. So we can 239 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:31,120 think about it, you know, small parts of Pintown, Morris County. The reality is 240 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:36,240 if the world is moving towards AI, we should not discourage, you know, uh, for 241 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:40,080 economic sakes that they cannot be built out here. That's some misconception 242 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,240 going on, but just be aware of that. Thank you. 243 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:13,919 Good evening. Um, my name is Diana Perary and I live here in Peripany. And 244 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:19,120 a couple points. Um, I'm laughing kind of laughing about the data centers 245 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:24,799 because back in the 80s when and I'm dating myself, companies would have 246 00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:33,520 their data centers on site. When I worked in Sandos, they had a huge data 247 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:38,320 center to run their complex. So there I don't think you can say yes or no. I 248 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:44,799 think you got to look at it from the perspective and and put certain 249 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:51,280 parameters around what do we want. You know, we may not want a huge data center 250 00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:56,480 that covers hundreds of acres, but like one of the gentlemen said, we have a 251 00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:03,440 smaller data center here. They are a reality. And in all honesty, would I 252 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:09,520 want a data center tucked off in in Roman's land and precipany rather than 253 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:14,400 your condos? Absolutely. So, I think we just got to set the 254 00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:19,159 parameters around what we will accept within the town. Um, 255 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:30,480 my other question goes to my favorite topic, pilot projects. How is the audit 256 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:37,039 going? And when does the budgeting start and when do you have to see the money in 257 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:40,760 our account in order to uh recognize it for next year's budget? 258 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:49,679 And then um vision zero. Um what I didn't know, Mr. Nyer, was 259 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:56,240 when you announced vision zero, I didn't realize that it's a nationwide program, 260 00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:01,679 right? and that you can have initiatives and of course you have to budget for 261 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:08,880 those initiatives. So I'm just putting it out there. I would volunteer gladly 262 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:14,480 to be a member of the that committee and we can start looking at where our our 263 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:19,520 traffic issues are. Where can we help with slowing people down because I can 264 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:25,919 tell you the speeding hasn't slowed down at all. And um I was on Veil Road right 265 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:31,440 where that accident happened and somebody came flying down the other way 266 00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:39,640 and I'm like we really need to figure this out. So thank you. 267 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,640 » That's okay. 268 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:49,279 Uh Nick Conc um Hayawata, 269 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:55,120 it's good that the public is resisting the data centers because like you said, 270 00:25:53,120 --> 00:26:02,880 it's the ambiguous term and it's been around, but now it's a new phase 271 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:07,600 that's actually attacking our society. There is no 272 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:12,720 technology can never be a substitute for biology. 273 00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:18,320 And these data centers are scary. And there's a [clears throat] good book out 274 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:24,320 now. It's called the Nerd Reich. And these people that are behind this 275 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:29,440 data center, these they're not they're not nice people. And their mission 276 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:35,120 behind everything is like we're experiencing now in the Trump 277 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:41,039 administration. They're there to destroy government as intended. 278 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:46,400 So the these uh data centers are actually they exist outside the laws of 279 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:52,400 nature. So these technocrats from Silicon Valley, they live outside the 280 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:57,919 laws of nature. They go to their enclosures and the rest of the world is 281 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:04,640 a fantasy to them. So these it's good that we're we're 282 00:27:01,679 --> 00:27:09,600 aware of artificial intelligence. And is it really wisdom? Is it going to make 283 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:14,880 the world any better? No. It's information. That's all it is. And then 284 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,840 depending on the program or the master or the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, 285 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:26,880 how he's going to use it. So they can eased, they can stop environmentalists, 286 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:30,960 they can stop people who are uh don't believe that our democracy is 287 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:37,840 progressing and they want to resist it. They can get all any information they 288 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:43,039 need to further destroy the republic which is in trouble right now. So 289 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:47,520 whether we have these uh data center everything has limits like we're going 290 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:53,120 to have uh all right maybe another data center but not to that magnitude but to 291 00:27:50,159 --> 00:28:00,240 say that you're against AI is a good healthy human reaction and I'm glad to 292 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:07,200 hear that that we will get it in so we'll contribute to the masses in this 293 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:14,000 country who see what's what's going on. Elon Musk, Peter Steel, not nice people. 294 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:19,760 And there's a whole list of other other uh people in this book, The Nerd, Reich. 295 00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:24,480 It's getting very dangerous. >> Thank you, Nick. We probably should have 296 00:28:22,159 --> 00:28:28,480 a whole separate meeting just to talk about AI. Um, 297 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:32,320 » seeing no one else, >> I think nobody else is here coming up, 298 00:28:30,399 --> 00:28:33,760 right? No. >> Okay. 299 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,799 » Seeing no one else, I'd like to entertain a motion to close the public 300 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,799 session. Motion >> second. 301 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,840 » Made by [clears throat] Mr. Kavanagh, seconded by Mr. Karifi. Roll call. Mr. 302 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:45,440 Karifi. Yes. Mr. Kavanagh. >> Yes. Mr. Patel. Mr. Hernandez. 303 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,120 » Yes. >> The floor is closed at this time. 304 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:54,480 » At this time, I just uh please quickly review the consent agenda to be passed 305 00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:58,559 on the next meeting. Moving along to the approval of minutes. Same thing. And now 306 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:03,039 we're going to presentation reports. And we are having a presentation by Steve 307 00:29:01,919 --> 00:29:05,279 Maraconda. >> Yes. 308 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:11,640 » Is that correct? American >> for Dark Sky NJ. You get uh two minutes, 309 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,640 Steve. Okay. 310 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:22,159 » Hi, I'm Michelle Gainer. I'm just here to introduce Steve. Steve uh presented 311 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:26,240 at the library. We the prec the precipitate environmental advisory 312 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:32,399 committee brought Steve in to do a light pollution spe uh talk in December and we 313 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,279 were so impressed and it was eye opening and we thought this is something we 314 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:39,840 could all learn about. There's things that he's going to talk about how we can 315 00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:45,440 reduce light pollution for humans, for wildlife, for insects and also safety. 316 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:50,080 It's a safety issue having too much light pollution. 317 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:54,720 And just something about Steve, he is a he's the president and co-chair of Dark 318 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:58,880 Sky New Jersey. He's a chair of the Saddle Brook Green Team. Steve has a 319 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:02,720 master's of public health degree from Rkco School of Public Health and is 320 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:07,840 passionate about raising public awareness of light pollution. Light 321 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:12,320 pollution disrupts ecosystems, obscures our view of the night sky, and is 322 00:30:10,159 --> 00:30:16,960 associated with various human health conditions. learn about the basics of 323 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:21,200 light pollution responsibility, responsible lighting practices and 324 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:27,159 policies that can help reduce light pollution in New Jersey and beyond. 325 00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:27,159 Thank you. 326 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,919 I guess I should microphone. I do talk pretty loud though. But 327 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,000 um >> you want If you can you guys see the 328 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,840 screen well enough? >> All right. I I'll try to keep this short 329 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,760 and sweet. Oh, yeah. So, thanks so much. >> Yeah. 330 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,799 » Thanks. [clears throat] Thanks so much, Mayor and Council, Parcipity, Troy 331 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:58,159 Hills, and the environmental committee of Tro of Paripity Trails for having me. 332 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,520 And yeah, I'll keep this short and sweet. Just talk about light pollution. 333 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:04,480 What is it? Some basics, and then what we can actually do about it as a 334 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:08,960 municipality. M municipalities have a lot of control over actually this type 335 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:13,919 of pollution. It's easier to solve than, I would argue, any other type of 336 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:18,000 pollution. So, here we go. Uh but yeah, I'm the I'm the chair of 337 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,559 Dark Sky New Jersey, but it's al it's actually an international organization, 338 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,279 Dark Sky International. They have chapters all over the world. They're 339 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,679 based in Arizona. That's where the whole Dark Sky movement began. And uh we're 340 00:31:26,399 --> 00:31:31,760 just partnering with environmental organizations, environmental commissions 341 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:35,679 to try to spread the word and try to reduce it. And it's really about 342 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,320 protecting the night sky, protecting wildlife, protecting human health. 343 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:41,039 That's what the natural night sky looks like. That picture there, you can see 344 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:46,000 the Milky Way. But we're kind of we kind of lost that in our cities and towns 345 00:31:44,159 --> 00:31:50,559 with the proliferation of artificial light. This is just our coalition. It's 346 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:54,399 growing. We have all the environmental organizations, the Sierra Club, uh some 347 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:59,240 universities, Princeton is on board, Ruckers trying to reduce light pollution 348 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:06,240 and ANJ which um is the association of New Jersey environmental commissions 349 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:10,240 which of course is a member of and sustainable Jersey even rewards 350 00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:14,000 municipalities for reducing light pollution. 351 00:32:12,399 --> 00:32:18,000 But yeah, what is light pollution? It's it's basically excessive, misdirected, 352 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,159 obstructive artificial light at night that washes away the stars and the night 353 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:25,600 sky, disrupts ecosystems, has adverse health effects, and wastes energy and 354 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,440 money. So, basically, it's just too much light, like right like you can argue it 355 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,200 noise pollution, right? At night, you don't want your neighbors blasting music 356 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:36,880 at 1:00 a.m. Disrupts your sleep. Kind of the same thing with light. Too much 357 00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:40,320 light can actually be bad. Um, we need it, we of course need light at night, 358 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:43,919 but we don't want to go overboard. So, there's two types. I'll mostly focus on 359 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:47,919 outdoor light pollution. Indoor light pollution is basically too much light, 360 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,080 you know, inside your house late at night disrupts your sleep. But outdoor 361 00:32:49,919 --> 00:32:59,240 light can do similar things in the form of sky glow, washing away the night sky, 362 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,240 light trespass, and glare. 363 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:05,120 So, I'll just show a little bit of this then go more into it. Sky glow. You 364 00:33:03,519 --> 00:33:08,720 always see that light flying up into the sky. kind of wasted light, wasted 365 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:13,919 electricity, but also washes away our view of of the stars. 366 00:33:11,919 --> 00:33:17,679 Light trespass. A lot of towns have ordinances on this, but they're not 367 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,200 really well enforced and well defined. But basically, just too much light 368 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,799 spilling outside of your property onto other people's property, and especially 369 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:30,640 it's a problem if it's going into your bedroom window, right? Mess with their 370 00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:33,279 sleep and glare, which you might be more aware of with the newer headlights, 371 00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:36,480 right? Right. The newer headlights that are out a little bit over overkill. 372 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,200 Might be good if you're on an empty rural road, but if it's shining right 373 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,679 into your eyes in the opposite direction, not too great. And I'll go 374 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,480 over why. And then this is just all those 375 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:49,760 different types of light pollution, right? You have your useful light that 376 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,200 should be shining on the road on the sidewalk where you need it so you don't 377 00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:57,519 hit something, right? Or you can see where you're walking. But then all this 378 00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,159 other light is just really waste. It's it's going spilling into people's 379 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:03,600 properties, spilling up into the night sky. And there's easy ways to control 380 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,799 this. So, I'll get to the solutions after I 381 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,760 talk about the problem a little bit, but really it affects everything you could 382 00:34:08,879 --> 00:34:12,639 think of. Why I care about light pollution? It affects our wallets. It 383 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:17,520 affects our health. It affects the environment. 384 00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:21,280 A little bit about sky glow. That's the United States from space. It might look 385 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,879 pretty, but uh that's really just all wasted light, right? We we we could 386 00:34:22,879 --> 00:34:29,520 actually redirect those that light down to the ground where it's needed and save 387 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:32,800 a lot of money. And this is of course washing away our night sky. You have to 388 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:37,599 go further and further away to actually see a good night sky. It's growing at a 389 00:34:34,879 --> 00:34:41,839 rapid pace about 10% per year by some studies. So I mean there are some areas 390 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,440 you can see a good dark sky. You know like if you go up to Maine or you go to 391 00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:49,919 the Aderondax or the Catskills New York State that's probably the closest. But 392 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,079 uh you know even those areas are becoming brighter and brighter as 393 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:57,200 there's more and more development. So just something we we can we can protect 394 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,640 ourselves from this light pollution and and maybe even reduce it if we do the 395 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:04,000 right practices. But only only two in 10 people can see the Milky Way, which is 396 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:08,160 that you know that cloud of stars right there. You it's hard to see that in New 397 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:12,880 Jersey. Of of course we used to be able we all used to be able to see it. 398 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:17,200 This is actually the 2003 Northeast blackout. Um of course blackouts not a 399 00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:20,960 good thing, but I mean just look at that sky. I would argue we can, you know, 400 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,920 have our lighting like have our cake and eat it too. We can use good lighting 401 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,720 that's targeted at the ground and be able to still see the night sky and 402 00:35:25,499 --> 00:35:30,800 [clears throat] protect wildlife and human health. 403 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:35,599 That's Orion, the famous constellation there at a light polluted sky and a non 404 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:42,000 and a dark sky. So, I'm not sure which one you'd rather 405 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:45,280 have, but All right. So, light trespass. So, this is indoor and outdoor, but 406 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:49,760 really light trespass could be an issue for human health. I'll explain how. Too 407 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:54,240 much light shining in our bedroom windows or just too much light in 408 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:57,520 general suppresses melatonin, which is a hormone in our brain needed for sleep, 409 00:35:56,079 --> 00:36:00,560 needed for immune system functioning. There's increased risk of certain types 410 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:04,800 of cancer like prostate and breast cancer from being exposed to like light 411 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:08,079 at night for a long period of time, especially like overnight nurses. 412 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:13,000 There's been studies showing, you know, just being exposed to too much light at 413 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,000 night is not good. 414 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:23,359 Ecological, environmental impacts. Yes, it affects you name it. Every 415 00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:27,280 species, bats, frogs, there's more more mosquitoes. There's an increase in 416 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:32,079 mosquitoes. There's less frogs, less bats that eat eat mosquitoes, etc., etc. 417 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,760 It's not good for our wildlife. It messes with their sleep just like it 418 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:39,520 messes with our sleep, too. It leads to bird collisions in 419 00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:43,440 buildings. It's very prominent in New York City here. You got the like the 911 420 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,480 lights. Pretty apppropo. Um, they have to turn them off every once in a while. 421 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,599 Now they have people with binoculars. See, cuz the birds get trapped there 422 00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:52,800 during migration and they end up colliding into buildings. Uh I was 423 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,400 actually just at the New York City Council. Um they they have a new bill 424 00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,640 that they're introducing. A couple weeks ago I was there and they're supporting 425 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,920 trying to you know obviously it's a city that never sleeps, but there's ways that 426 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:09,119 you could turn off unnecessary lights on buildings to reduce bird collisions. 427 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,880 Um, I'm not going to get too into the weeds 428 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:15,440 here, but essentially insects, even if you're not a fan of insects, the best 429 00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:19,680 thing to do is have your lights off or on a motion sensor or dimmer that 430 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,680 because the lights the lights trap the insects. The reason they're flying 431 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,920 around the lights is because they're trapped there, which um leads to a large 432 00:37:23,839 --> 00:37:29,440 inse uh insect decline. And also, you know, getting rid of the insects that 433 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:35,079 people do like like moths and and fireflies, they use their own light, 434 00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:35,079 right? So, we're disrupting that. 435 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:40,240 It actually negatively affects our trees too, believe it or not, right? The trees 436 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,839 sense temperature and that's why they lose their leaves, right? Deciduous 437 00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:47,599 trees, but also they they sense the daylight. And when you have the light 438 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,800 shining on the tree all the time, they don't, you know, messes with the trees. 439 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:56,160 They they'll keep their leaves instead of losing them and they get damaged. 440 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,760 You can see in like downtown areas like this, it just completely messes with the 441 00:37:57,839 --> 00:38:05,440 trees. Um, 442 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:08,560 and let's get to glare. So, so the main reason I think a lot of people we want 443 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,520 lighting so that we can see, right? We can see where we're going and also for 444 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,599 safety, right? People are concerned about crime and things like that. 445 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:20,560 However, you'll see here that glare actually impedes both of these uh 446 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:24,240 projects. So, can we find a potential stalker? 447 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:28,800 Right, we have very very bright light, right? Should keep us safe, right? But 448 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:35,040 um you really can't see that guy hiding in the back corner, can you? 449 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:38,480 Why do you think that is? Anyone? Yeah, the light's shining right in your 450 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:43,760 eyes and this causes your pupils to constrict 451 00:38:41,839 --> 00:38:47,920 which actually, you know, cuz your eyes adapt to the brightest thing in the 452 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:52,480 field of view. So, your eyes will try to make that light dimmer to adjust and 453 00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:56,960 then everything else turns dark. And you might notice this with the really 454 00:38:53,760 --> 00:39:00,480 blinding headlights on on dark roads. But if you, you know, simply just 455 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:04,560 shielding so the light's not going straight in your eye, your pupils can 456 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,200 dilate, right? And your your night vision kicks in. You can see a lot 457 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:12,560 better, right? You can see that guy hiding in the in the shadows there. So, 458 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,920 it's really a myth that more lighting is safer. We want lighting, but we want 459 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,839 well-designed lighting. That That's how we have safer 460 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,800 environments. So, we don't trip over things and that we can see our 461 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:26,560 environment to make sure nothing out of the ordinary is going on. 462 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:31,119 This is just an example. This is from Hackinack, but uh there's this kind of 463 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:35,119 lighting is everywhere, right? This this light that's basically just shining way 464 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,760 outside of the property boundaries of, you know, the intended zone of 465 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,800 illumination, right? If it's a sports field, the light should shine on the 466 00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:44,720 sports field, not miles and miles outside the sports field. So, you know, 467 00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:48,160 we're we're not saying to get rid of lighting, but we're just advocating for 468 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:54,160 smarter designs that we don't have all this light, stray light going way beyond 469 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:57,440 where it's supposed to be light. And this leads to the concept of energy 470 00:39:55,839 --> 00:40:00,160 waste, right? Pretty intuitive, right? If we have all this light shining where 471 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:04,079 it doesn't need to go, that's actually just wasted energy. It's estimated that 472 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:08,000 three to seven billion dollars in the US, just in the US per year is wasted. 473 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,119 So that's like 30% of all outdoor lighting in the US is wasted light. Like 474 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:16,960 lights, lights that are on when they're not really needed and uh no one's using 475 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,320 the light for any particular reason. And that when you don't have shielding, that 476 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:26,000 light just goes up to space. That's also wasted money. and 21 million tons of CO2 477 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:29,440 being burned per year, it's estimated. So, you know, I would just argue this is 478 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:33,760 something that we can really address here. So, yeah, we can make a difference 479 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:37,760 just using better lighting practices and putting in lighting policies. This is 480 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:41,440 where municipalities come in. Just making sure our light is useful. Making 481 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:47,440 sure it's targeted like fully shielded so it's shining downward. Low level, the 482 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,800 lowest level necessary, controlled and warm colored. 483 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:56,240 Just like this is a difference here between a property with like traditional 484 00:40:53,359 --> 00:41:00,920 flood lights versus fully shielded light fixtures. Um I brought one actually, 485 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:06,720 you know, like these are like traditional barn lights, right? But like 486 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,200 this type of picture, there's many different styles, but these are like 487 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,880 this. The concept is that the light doesn't go beyond. 488 00:41:11,359 --> 00:41:18,839 So, look, it still illuminates the property just fine without all that 489 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,839 glare, without all that wasted light. 490 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:25,119 Um, tradition, you know, your unshielded fixtures. Yes, a lot of downtowns have 491 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,960 acorn fixtures and like traditional style lights, which do look pretty, but 492 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,680 not when they're super bright. Like they used to have gas lamps and that that was 493 00:41:30,319 --> 00:41:35,119 fine. It was a warm color, but now they're just really too bright. That 494 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:38,560 light goes everywhere but down. So partially shielded a little bit better. 495 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:42,079 Your traditional fixtures probably at Home Depot you get, but you're still 496 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:47,520 getting that glare and a lot of that diagonal up light. So fully shielded 497 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:52,640 fixtures like this are ideal. And some newer developments are doing this, but 498 00:41:50,319 --> 00:41:57,760 uh municipal ordinances can make it's more common practice. 499 00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:01,760 and warmer colored. Using that lower end of the spectrum there, that warmer 500 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:06,400 yellow color is less disruptive to wildlife, less disruptive to our vision 501 00:42:04,319 --> 00:42:10,599 at night. It's less harsh, and it's actually less bad for our sleep, too. 502 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:17,040 » Just another demonstration of that. And the best is actually I mentioned that 503 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:21,520 controlled. So, having the lights, unless it's like a 24-hour business, 504 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,960 lights can be on motion sensors, lights can be on timers. The light doesn't need 505 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:29,599 to be on all night long unless it's a 24-hour business or, you know, a police 506 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:34,720 station. So, the the best practice is fully shielded and then motion sensor or 507 00:42:31,359 --> 00:42:38,160 timer when you can. That's my light at my house. That's what it looks like when 508 00:42:35,839 --> 00:42:40,800 it's on. That's what it looks like on my 509 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,319 property. It's mounted high enough where it fully covers my front lawn without me 510 00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:48,720 having to aim the light that way. You can have it shine down and still cover a 511 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,359 good surface area. Dark Sky International certifies light 512 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:55,280 fixtures. So, these things are actually at Home Depot. You can get them for 513 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:59,119 pretty cheap. There's no cost difference in this type of lighting. Even when it 514 00:42:56,720 --> 00:43:03,680 comes to commercial or even uh municipal like street lights, things like that. Um 515 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:08,480 and there's sports lighting that's dark sky certified. The US Open uh last year 516 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,440 the Billy Jean King uh tennis center, all dark sky certified lighting. So, it 517 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:16,800 could be done it could be done anywhere. Now, municipal ordinances. Yeah, this is 518 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,880 probably the main purpose for me being here. Uh these are some towns that have 519 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,800 have some ordinances in regards to light pollution. 520 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:28,160 the the m so basically just having an ordinance that addresses it and 521 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:32,079 specifically tells you what type of lighting is allowed say for businesses 522 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:37,119 is very beneficial especially for new development or for when a new um 523 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:40,000 business occupies a property. You can just have that laid out there and then 524 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:43,760 they they bring their lights into compliance and it it really is kind of a 525 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:48,319 win-win cuz everyone ends up saving money in the long run. Um it's it's not 526 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,359 going retroactive and trying to change everyone's lights. That's that's the 527 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,839 environmental committee here is working on educating residents that they do this 528 00:43:53,040 --> 00:44:00,400 on their own valition. Um but yeah, this this is a growing movement um in New 529 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:05,040 Jersey and other states and uh I think it's just pretty good policy and I'm 530 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,680 happy to take questions on this. Um there's actually a state bill too if you 531 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:13,040 want to support that. It's in the Assembly and the Senate. Um it's a bill 532 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:17,440 for state funded lighting um to be dark sky compliant. We have a lot of buyin 533 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:21,520 from most of the state government except for the DOT. So, we're we're working on 534 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:25,680 that. Um, there actually are other states like Colorado and California and 535 00:44:23,359 --> 00:44:30,240 Florida, Virginia that actually have dark sky guidance in their roadway 536 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:33,920 lighting uh guidance. So, so we're just trying to, you know, New Jerseyy's a 537 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,560 little bit behind in this, but we'll we will catch up. 538 00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:40,000 » What about New York? >> New York is a little bit ahead of the 539 00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:43,200 curve, too. Especially New York City changed some of their lighting guidance 540 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,640 for street lights recently. Warmer colors, fully shielded, all LEDs, by the 541 00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:50,640 way. We're not going back to incandescent or high pressure sodium, 542 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,400 but you can do it in a way where it's still fully shielded, still has a warmer 543 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:57,760 color and still good color rendition. You know, the technology is getting 544 00:44:56,079 --> 00:45:01,839 better and better. The timers, this is all getting cheaper and cheaper, too. 545 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:05,520 So, yes, we just a lot of people don't aren't aware of the alternatives to like 546 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:09,440 bright white LEDs. There there's actually warmer colors and shielding. 547 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:14,720 And this is just an example of like a retrofit that took place in Hopewell 548 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:18,560 Burough near Trenton. Um just before they had these really really bright 549 00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:22,480 flood lights. Um and also as you can see no one's really there to need it. It's 550 00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:26,000 not an emotion sensor. Uh a friend of mine did some work with 551 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,800 electricians and sheet metal workers and got some nice dark sky friendly 552 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,720 fixtures. And as you can see I I would say it has a better curb appeal. It's 553 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,839 like a place where you want to spend time more. It's the same thing like 554 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:40,000 having trees in your downtown business district increases the amount of foot 555 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:44,480 traffic, increases the amount of business. I would argue this type of 556 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:50,240 lighting also creates a better environment for people to spend time 557 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:53,599 and just a dark sky New Jersey. We're doing these kind of events and around 558 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:58,560 New Jersey just trying to spread the word 559 00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,839 and yeah happy to take questions. 560 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:06,000 » Great. So you answered the how many states did you say it? How many states 561 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:10,240 have >> Colorado for the for the department of 562 00:46:07,839 --> 00:46:14,560 trans for yeah for the roadway guidance for state dos 563 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:18,000 » Colorado it probably has the best and then there's also California I know 564 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:22,000 Florida has some better language on that in Virginia and I know New York City as 565 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,760 well I don't know about New York State but yeah 566 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:30,640 » I got to say some of those lighting like the directed down a lot of our people 567 00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:35,359 come into the planning board with that. >> Yes. So, it's it's good. I guess they're 568 00:46:33,599 --> 00:46:38,880 following what looks good, too. I wish the cars 569 00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,000 though would be better. >> Yes. Car headlights. That's a whole 570 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:46,920 other ball game. We need we need federal legislation for that. 571 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,920 » I feel blinded. 572 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,280 » Uh for wait where 573 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,599 » does anybody have? 574 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:03,680 » Yes. Yes. Halogen headlights came out. >> Oh, hallogens are great. It's the LEDs 575 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:08,319 that are a little bit insane. And LEDs are fine. It's just there's no right now 576 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:11,652 there's no upper threshold. >> Yeah. 577 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,652 » So, [snorts] 578 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:17,880 Steve, >> I wanted 579 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:26,800 » Okay. I want to just Does anybody have questions for Steve on this? 580 00:47:25,359 --> 00:47:31,640 » Thank you for your time, Steve. Much appreciated. 581 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,640 » It's really good. Thank you. 582 00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:35,839 » Hello. >> How was I on time? Was I 583 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,040 » That was a fantastic time. >> The mayor has questions. 584 00:47:37,359 --> 00:47:40,880 » Can I get that presentation if you don't mind? 585 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:43,920 » Oh, yes. I'll send it to you and yeah, they can make this public information. 586 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,560 » Yeah, actually that's a good idea cuz people might want that. 587 00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:49,280 » Yeah, it's it's open source so anyone can I'll give it to the mayor, 588 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,079 distribute it. >> Thank you. Thank you. 589 00:47:50,319 --> 00:47:54,720 » Thank you, Steve. >> All right. 590 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,680 » Okay, mayor, your report. >> Yes. 591 00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:01,319 Like the lights back on. >> Yeah, that's pretty good. 592 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:11,599 » Hello. Can you guys hear me? >> Okay. 593 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:15,839 Mayor's report celebrating our seniors. I had the opportunity to stop by our 594 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:20,480 senior centers in recognition of senior citizen day and spend some time with our 595 00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:24,720 residents. I enjoyed visiting the senior center. Our seniors helped build this 596 00:48:22,319 --> 00:48:28,640 community we enjoy today and they remain an important and active part of 597 00:48:26,559 --> 00:48:32,640 Peripany. It was great catching up, sharing some laughs, playing pingpong, 598 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:36,640 most importantly listening to their concerns. 599 00:48:34,559 --> 00:48:41,280 Welcoming new residents to Pipony. I visited Lexica, one of Pipney's newest 600 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:45,599 residential development for meet and greet with some of our newest residents. 601 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:50,720 One of the best parts of being mayor is welcoming people who have chosen Pipney 602 00:48:48,319 --> 00:48:55,760 as their new home. I enjoyed hearing when people came from, why they chose 603 00:48:53,680 --> 00:49:00,000 Pipony, and answering questions about our new community. 604 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:05,359 To all the new residents, welcome home. We're glad you're here. 605 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:09,520 Pipony High School, Pipony Hills High School football motorcade. It was great 606 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:14,800 joining the Pipony Hills High School football motorcade. My first one as we 607 00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:18,720 kicked off another football season. What I enjoyed most was seeing how an event 608 00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:23,280 centered around football brought together students, parents, coaches, 609 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:27,760 athletes, and the larger sports community. To our players, and coaches, 610 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:34,240 have a great season. Stay healthy, play hard, and most importantly, enjoy the 611 00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:39,599 experience. The concert must go on. As you all know, we have concert season, 612 00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:43,280 concert day every Thursday. Well, last week the weather exactly did not 613 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:47,599 cooperate with us. But a little rain wasn't going to stop the music. So we 614 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:52,640 can't So instead of cancing the summer concert series, we moved the concert 615 00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:56,480 indoors and kept the evening going. Thank you to everyone who adjusted the 616 00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:00,720 plans, came out, even dancing front of the stage. I spoke to the band 617 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:04,319 afterwards and they loved playing in the high school. It brought back memories 618 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,720 for them when they were in band and theater. That's the summer weather in 619 00:50:06,720 --> 00:50:14,280 New Jersey. You make plans, mother nature makes another one and Pipony 620 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,280 figures it out. 621 00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:21,359 Lord Sterling block party. I also stopped by a neighborhood block party on 622 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:26,800 Lord Sterling Drive. Their first one ever. There was food, neighbors catching 623 00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:30,800 up, meeting each other because this was their first one. Kids running around and 624 00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:35,520 a bubble machine that may have been the biggest attraction of the day. The kids 625 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:39,119 absolutely loved it. These neighborhood gatherings may seem simple, but they're 626 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:43,359 an important part of what makes a town feel like a community. Sometimes the 627 00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:48,000 best community building happens right in the middle of the street. Therefore, I'm 628 00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:51,680 encouraging all residents to have these in your neighborhoods. Bring the 629 00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:57,119 community together. The township will support you in any way possible. 630 00:50:54,640 --> 00:51:02,079 Movies under the stars. We had our first movie night featuring the legendary 631 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:07,200 show. It was wonderful seeing families and generations come together for a 632 00:51:04,079 --> 00:51:12,640 movie that for so many is more than just a film. It's a memory. Speaking of 633 00:51:09,839 --> 00:51:17,920 memory, for our next movie, we decided participants should choose the movie. We 634 00:51:15,839 --> 00:51:23,599 put it to the community poll. The votes are in and the winner is The Karate Kid. 635 00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:27,520 So get your blankets and lawn chairs ready for another movie night together. 636 00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:32,000 From Bollywood cholay to Hollywood classic chosen by our residents that's a 637 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:37,040 pretty good reflection of Pipany different generations different cultures 638 00:51:33,839 --> 00:51:41,680 and one community having fun together around Pipony whether I'm spending time 639 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:47,119 with our seniors welcoming new residents cheering on our students a block party 640 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:51,599 or watching a movie with families in the park these events remind me of something 641 00:51:49,359 --> 00:51:56,800 important being mayor isn't just about budgets ordinances roads and meetings 642 00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:01,119 it's about showing up. Showing up gives me a chance to listen, meet people I 643 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:05,200 might otherwise never meet and better understand the community I'm fortunate 644 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:09,920 enough to serve. I'll keep showing up and I hope to see you somewhere around 645 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:14,640 Precipity. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mayor.
