41
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Resolutions and ordinances for consent and consideration.

42
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Resolution number 23-196 is a resolution authorizing the payment of bills and

43
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
payments of $2,252,393.30.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
23-197 is a resolution amending the 2023 temporary operating budget pursuant to

45
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
NJSA 48-4-20.

46
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
23-198, this is a resolution appointing temporary seasonal employees.

47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Resolution 23-199, this is a resolution appointing a permanent part time

48
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
food enforcement officer trainee.

49
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
And it's Dan Patterson.

50
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
He's a local resident.

51
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Lives up on Carney Avenue.

52
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
He's been working for us throughout the summer.

53
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
He was actually offered a full-time position, but he was only interested in part-time.

54
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
There are four ordinances on for introduction tonight.

55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
The first one is ordinance 2023-23.

56
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
This is an ordinance of the borough of Seaside Heights County,

57
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
a resolution state of New Jersey amending the borough code of the borough of Seaside Heights.

58
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
So it was to amend chapter 110 entitled hotel and motel occupancy tax.

59
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
This would basically establish a 3% tax on short-term rentals in Seaside Heights.

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:46,000
So if you're running through Airbnb or VRBO, this would set up a mechanism to charge the same tax that the motels in town have to buy.

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
And now we'll have second reading on August 16th.

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Ordinance 2023-2024.

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:03,000
This is an ordinance of the borough of Seaside Heights County of Ocean State of New Jersey amending the borough code of the borough of Seaside Heights.

64
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So it was to amend chapter 179 entitled rental property.

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
So this ordinance and the next two that are on for introduction tonight, they're basically all doing the same thing.

66
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
It's just that we have it in different parts of the borough code.

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:30,000
But this basically says that between April 15th and June 30th of each year in the hotels and motels, they can't rent anybody under the age of 21.

68
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And then from July 1 to April 14th, it resorts back to the current ordinance basically, which is 18 is the minimum.

69
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
This applies to hotels and motels.

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
The ordinances that have second reading tonight in public hearing have to do with the short-term rental aspect of it.

71
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
So this is covering a different part of the same issue.

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Ordinance 2023-25.

73
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Ordinance of the borough of Seaside Heights County of Ocean State of New Jersey amending the borough code of the borough of Seaside Heights.

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:05,000
So it's to amend chapter 55 entitled Certificates of Occupancy.

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Ordinance number 2023-26.

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
This is an ordinance of the borough of Seaside Heights County of Ocean State of New Jersey amending the borough code of the borough of Seaside Heights.

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
So it's to amend chapter 122 entitled Mercantile Establishments.

78
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Keeping in mind, this is the first reading for 23, 24, 25 and 26.

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:32,000
August 16th will be a vote from the council remembering that if this passes or if the other passes tonight,

80
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
none of this goes into effect until January 1, 2024.

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Public comment.

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Hearing no public comment, motion?

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Make a motion.

Yes.

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:09,000

4400-4006 to Tom's River Liquor LLC.

98
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
So this is Sir Flickr's license going to the new owner.

99
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Any comments from the public reference to transfer of the license?

100

118
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Any public comment?

00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000

So they have not been able to do work at the bars in town.

00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000

Just to mention, these Ornance, that Ornance doesn't go into effect until January as well.

184
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Some of the motels would already have a contract for us to provide the off-duty.

185
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:12,000
So the idea is to give everybody a chance to find a new source of off-duty police officers moving into 2024.

186
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Okay.

187
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
2023-20.

188
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Ornance of the Borough of Seaside Heights, County of Ocean State of New Jersey, amending

189
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
the Borough Code of the Borough of Seaside Heights, which was to mention Chapter 179 entitled

190
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Rental Property.

191
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So it's kind of the long Ornance, but it's basically the short-term rental Ornance.

192
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:38,000
This applies generally speaking to your VRBOs and Airbnb rentals in town.

193
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Any comments from the public?

194
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Hearing none, motion?

195
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Off-duty.

196
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Roll call.

197
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Councilperson Gratian.

198
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Yes.

199
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Tompkins.

200
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Smith.

201
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Yes.

202
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Ohemus.

203
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Yes.

204
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Farone.

205
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Yes.

206
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Carbone.

207
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Yes.

208
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
2023-21.

209
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Ornance of the Borough of Seaside Heights, County of Ocean State of New Jersey, amending

210
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000
the Borough of Code of the Borough of Seaside Heights to amend Chapter 33 entitled Boardwalk

211
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
and Beach.

212
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000
And this basically implements a boardwalk closure for the beach, I mean, from between

213
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
8 p.m. and 5 a.m. each day.

214
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
All the issues are covered.

215
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
And the exempts, like fishermen and surfers, and the normal.

216
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Chris, does that exempt medical detectors also?

217
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I had a question about that.

218
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Well, we didn't put that, it's not in there.

219
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
But I mean.

220
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Can that be put in there?

221
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Yeah.

222
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Substantial change.

223
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
All right.

224
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Ah, that would be a substantial change?

225
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
So we do amend time a little while.

226
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
We would.

227
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
At the next meeting?

228
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Sure.

229
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,680
that we're going to put in no minute.

230
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:46,920
Let's pass this tonight.

231
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,920
Yes, yes.

232
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,360
We'll pass it tonight since there's

233
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360
been no objection from the public so far.

234
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,360
And then we'll amend it to allow, what do you call it?

235
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,240
That will be checked.

236
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,240
Each covers.

237
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,240
Each covers.

238
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,720
I can draft that.

239
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,080
Do draft this over the next day.

240
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Any questions from the public as far as the boardwalk

241
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,720
closures from 8 PM to 5 AM?

242
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,240
Hearing none, motion?

243
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,560
I'll make it.

244
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,160
Second.

245
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Oh, call.

246
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Council person's gracious.

247
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:15,980
Yes.

248
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:16,480
Tompkins.

249
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:16,980
Yes.

250
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:17,480
Smith.

251
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:17,980
Yes.

252
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:18,480
Hamas.

253
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:18,980
Yeah.

254
00:10:18,980 --> 00:10:19,480
Moron.

255
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Corbons.

256
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Yes.

257
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,960
Approvals.

258
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:25,840
There's a bunch of them.

259
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,160
You have Lucky Leo's Christmas in July.

260
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,480
That's actually ongoing right now.

261
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,240
They've done that event for a number of years

262
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,480
in front of their business on the boardwalk.

263
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Kids' Crabbing Day on July 22nd.

264
00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:41,560
Heavy Reel Brewing put in a request with the ABC

265
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:45,560
to do another event in the parking lot of their premises.

266
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:49,560
This one they're calling Heavy Reel Tiki Fest.

267
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:56,560
August 22nd, there's a request to do a wedding on the Sampson

268
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,560
Carterette Avenue Beach.

269
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,560
And on the 24th of August, the Berkeley Striper Clubs,

270
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,560
they've done this before.

271
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,560
It's a clubs.

272
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,560
It's a kids' day down on the dock at the Bayfront.

273
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,560
And lastly, American Angler Fish Tournament and Fishing Show

274
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,560
between September 3rd and October 1st.

275
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:19,560
You've heard the approvals for the events.

276
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:21,560
Any questions from the public?

277
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:22,560
Having none?

278
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,560
Motion.

279
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:24,560
Make a motion.

280
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,560
Second.

281
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:26,560
Council person's gracious.

282
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:27,560
Yes.

283
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,560
Tompkins.

284
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,560
Yes.

285
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:30,560
Smith.

286
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:31,560
Yes.

287
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:32,560
Hamas.

288
00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,560
Yeah.

289
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,560
Okay.

290
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,560
It's that time in the evening where the public has an opportunity

291
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,560
to talk to the council.

292
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,560
If you'd like to, just come up to the mics.

293
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:42,560
Say your name and address.

294
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,560
And, Rich.

295
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,560
Oh, God.

296
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,560
Rich, that's O245 County Avenue.

297
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,560
Just a comment about the beach.

298
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,560
You guys did a wonderful job this season

299
00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,560
on patrolling the beach and everything.

300
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,560
The garbage cans that you have set up so people can play ball.

301
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,560
I think if you adjust them on the weekend,

302
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,560
because you're shorting the beach and it's really packed up,

303
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,560
during the week it doesn't matter,

304
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:10,560
but on the weekends it kind of shortens up the beach

305
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,560
when the garbage cans are all the way up

306
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:16,560
and the play area is almost a third of the beach.

307
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,560
I think, you know, when you know it's going to be a busy weekend,

308
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,560
if you can move those back, that gives everybody...

309
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,560
You mean back towards the doer?

310
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:24,560
Towards the boardwalk.

311
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:25,560
Right.

312
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:27,560
Because you have them cordoned off, you have them left there.

313
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,560
So that's the only thing.

314
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:31,560
But the police have done a good job.

315
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:32,560
Everybody's done a good job.

316
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,560
After four o'clock you do smell the marijuana,

317
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:35,560
so what are you going to do?

318
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,560
But that's the way it is.

319
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,560
But other than that, good job, Agnes.

320
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,560
Anyone else like to speak tonight?

321
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:45,560
No one.

322
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:46,560
Okay.

323
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:47,560
The only thing I have to say is...

324
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:48,560
Hold on, Tom.

325
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,560
I'm sorry.

326
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:50,560
I apologize.

327
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:51,560
I didn't see you.

328
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:52,560
Okay.

329
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,560
Not a resident, but a new representative.

330
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,560
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the board.

331
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,560
I'm going to introduce our chief, RC Shane Associates,

332
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,560
a group of concerned citizens who prefer not to be identified

333
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:02,560
at this time.

334
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:06,560
However, they are asking me to come to speak to you about a...

335
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,560
Their concerns about a recent ordinance that was passed

336
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,560
tonight, specifically the ordinance that prevents individuals

337
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:14,560
from under the age of 21 being able to rent within the

338
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,560
borough of Seaside Heights.

339
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:21,560
They're actually coming here asking me to ask the board

340
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:25,560
to reconsider it and voluntarily rescind that ordinance.

341
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,560
As you're aware, there's a thing called log in discrimination

342
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,560
within the state of New Jersey.

343
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:35,560
That prevents people from the age of 18, 19, and 20 adults

344
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:39,560
in the United States from actually being discriminated against.

345
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:43,560
Actually, in this modern age, you can go to fight to...

346
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,560
You can go fight for a war for the United States,

347
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:47,560
but the borough of Seaside Heights right now is saying

348
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,560
you can't rent a short-term rental within its borough.

349
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,560
We're leaving here with two options,

350
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,560
and this is just for public comment and your own consideration.

351
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:59,560
Either you voluntarily rescind the ordinance

352
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,560
or a lawsuit will be filed.

353
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,560
Thank you for your time.

354
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,560
Thank you for your comment.

355
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,560
I already have two things to talk about tonight.

356
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,560
First, no one else, right?

357
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:14,560
I'm sorry.

358
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:15,560
No one else?

359
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:16,560
Okay.

360
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:19,560
One is that there's a lot of scams going on in the country,

361
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,560
but particularly properties.

362
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,560
You'll notice on television, media,

363
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,560
telling us about the alert if you own property,

364
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,560
watch your deeds, and so forth.

365
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,560
Our county of Ocean, along with the Office of County Clerk

366
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,560
and the Board of Commissioners, have a program.

367
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,560
You can go online, and you can register.

368
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,560
That means anybody that looks at your property,

369
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,560
you're not knowing it.

370
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,560
You're not knowing it, but the county knows it.

371
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,560
They will notify you first that your property deed

372
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560
is being looked at,

373
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560
either through a credit agency or an individual.

374
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560
So I suggest strongly, I did it last week.

375
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,560
So I suggest strongly that you do it.

376
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,560
I think it's a protection.

377
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,380
In a second, let's root for sun because the rain is killing us. With that, I'll start

378
00:15:06,380 --> 00:15:07,980
off this end tonight, Rich.

379
00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:12,580
Well, I agree with you, Mr. Mayor. We need some sun, that's for sure. I think everything

380
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:16,460
we tried to do here tonight with the ordinances, as we've said from the beginning, we always

381
00:15:16,460 --> 00:15:20,060
say the same thing, is we're trying to make this a family town. I saw the other day on

382
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:25,620
Newsbreak, which is one of the online services. They had a real nice article about seaside

383
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:29,540
heights, really trying to become a family town, all the efforts that we put in. And

384
00:15:29,540 --> 00:15:34,260
I think that that's what this is all about, is trying to make things better in this town.

385
00:15:34,260 --> 00:15:37,740
Quality of life, as the mayor always talks about. And these ordinances tonight, I think,

386
00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:41,780
will help to do that for the seaside heights. So, hopefully, let's pray for some good weather

387
00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:43,740
and everybody have a good evening.

388
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:51,860
I hope it will get some good weather soon. I'm shooting. It's a bad beach time right

389
00:15:51,860 --> 00:16:00,300
now, so I look forward to this. I'm coming out and everybody enjoying the best this week.

390
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:04,620
Harry, it's like to thank everybody for coming. We do listen to everybody in town, so keep

391
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:07,860
your comments coming to us. And pray for good weather.

392
00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:12,260
Like Harry said, I thank everybody for coming. It seems like our attendance is growing

393
00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:16,380
more and more. We're happy to see people come out. And this is a resort town, so

394
00:16:16,380 --> 00:16:20,340
we do need good weather. And that's all we could say.

395
00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:25,540
I'm going to say, dido to everyone. I'm good to see everyone here. Hope we can solve your

396
00:16:25,540 --> 00:16:31,700
problems. And we're doing the best we can. We just don't like being called sleet side.

397
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:37,700
And with all these kids, it's scary. And that's all we're trying to do.

398
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:42,700
Vito, I have you. I'm putting up the phone so they can hear you.

399
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:48,700
I just want to thank everybody for all their prayers, thoughts and support as I went through my surgery.

400
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:54,700
It was very successful. Now I would say, throw your prayers for good weather because we really need God.

401
00:16:54,700 --> 00:17:01,700
And I want to second what Rich said and what Penny said is the quality of life and making this town a family town

402
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:06,700
didn't happen overnight. And we have to continue to work at it as we are.

403
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,700
And the evidence of that is these ordinances that we just passed.

404
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:14,700
So that's the mantra of the town. That's where we're headed.

405
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:17,700
And I want to thank everyone for coming.

406
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,700
Okay. With that, I'll ask for a motion to adjourn.

407
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:21,700
I'll make it on favor.

408
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:22,700
Aye.

409
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:23,700
Aye.
