[7:03] we're here to honor is this on
okay we're
[7:07] we're here to honor our Township planner
Dave Roberts who's been with us since
[7:11] 2016. and
personally this man's responsible for
[7:16] the VA first of all downtown
Redevelopment
[7:21] he has done a marvelous job I will tell
you that we started this journey for the
[7:26] VA probably about five years ago I guess
it's
[7:29] it started with
Senator or Congressman MacArthur asking
[7:34] me to write a letter about a new VA cboc
in Ocean County and when I inquired
[7:40] where it was going to be they said well
we're looking at Brick we're looking at
[7:43] Burke they said what about Toms River
my next call was to Dave and said Dave
[7:48] put something together we have about
three weeks before the submissions are
[7:52] over
Dave put it all together
[7:55] an air designated an area of
Redevelopment out near the TD Bank
[8:00] and we were Off to the Races
truth be known we had it in 2020 and the
[8:06] contractor didn't sign the contract he
bailed out so the whole process started
[8:10] over again
and Dave I know in retirement is going
[8:14] to be glad because he won't hear me
calling him every week and saying what's
[8:17] the status of the VA what's the status
of the VA but that was important to me
[8:22] and it was important to Dave and it was
important to the veterans of Ocean
[8:26] County it's a perfect site you have mass
transit there you have bus service you
[8:32] have two large banks in the area you
have malls you have restaurants plus you
[8:37] have the Ocean County Social Service
building right behind it with the
[8:41] veterans Service Bureau so it was a
perfect location and Dave spearheaded
[8:45] that put a lot of work into that and I
can't thank him enough and he leaves big
[8:51] shoes to be filled
and I know he's not going to be away I
[8:55] said I hope you don't leave the area
because if we have a question I want to
[8:59] be able to dial you up and and get a
quick answer now Dave will always give
[9:05] you the right answer
it's not necessarily the shortest answer
[9:10] so
so I do have to ask them sometimes when
[9:14] I do my rounds Dave give me The Abridged
version
[9:18] but I guarantee you if Dave gives you
the answer you can take that to the bank
[9:23] and Dave I for one along with all the
council and I think all the residents of
[9:28] Toms River and your staff at zoning
engineering planning are going to miss
[9:33] you and we spared no expense on your
plaque
[9:41] reads to David G Roberts by the township
Council and mayor in recognition of
[9:46] exemplary Services Township planner 12-1
2016 to February 1st 2023.
[9:55] congratulations
[10:00] [Applause]
[10:24] I promise I promise that
I promise it'll only take 15 minutes
[10:32] I just wanted to this I wouldn't have
felt right if I didn't have a uh take
[10:36] this chance to offer some uh words of
gratitude
[10:41] um it seems like six years went by uh in
six days uh but we had a lot
[10:47] accomplished a lot I first want to thank
God for allowing me to move close enough
[10:51] to where this when this position became
available it was it seemed too good to
[10:55] to be true and then I I also want to
express my gratitude to late mayor Tom
[11:01] Kelleher for uh recommending me at the
time in the council for supporting me at
[11:05] the time and then especially the man to
my left uh mayor mohill for keeping me
[11:11] on
um in 2020 and then really
[11:15] um just the uh just all of the the
people I've been fortunate enough to
[11:19] work with and and the organizations I've
been fortunate enough to to work with as
[11:23] well uh the Toms River bid the ortley
beach voters and taxpayers associate
[11:28] Nation different organizations around
town one thing I learned when I came to
[11:33] Toms River I thought I knew something
about the town because I drove through
[11:37] it all the time to get home but this is
an extraordinary Community I've been
[11:42] working I can have the gray hairs to
prove it since 1981 in this profession
[11:48] I've been around many parts of the state
and worked with many towns and I have to
[11:54] tell you this community that you are one
of the best there is no better and
[11:59] especially the folks that work in this
building
[12:02] um with every Department I was I think I
mentioned on Friday evening that when
[12:07] you come to department head meeting and
you look around the room and see the
[12:09] talent and the expertise that is that
works for that serves this Township it
[12:15] is truly an honor and privilege to be
concluded in that group and I've been
[12:19] able to have that privilege for the last
six years so I also want to I also want
[12:23] to express my gratitude to all the folks
in uh that are sitting in the third row
[12:28] we really do
um and also in the first row
[12:32] we really do work as a team and we're
really a family I think I can say that
[12:36] honestly we if family members have
disagreements from time to time but they
[12:41] always have each other's back and you'll
notice that in our group so I was it was
[12:46] a great privilege to work with this
group uh for the last six years also in
[12:51] in response I want to express
appreciation to the mayor for all the
[12:54] kind words about the VA but I remember
um they and I think a number of the
[13:00] council folks have been through this as
well over the past few years working
[13:06] with all these different Redevelopment
projects but I remember with the day we
[13:10] found out that the lease had been signed
it was actually signed which was July
[13:14] 30th of 21.
and we were we got together at the end
[13:19] of the day to kind of celebrate and I I
remember saying to the mayor well now
[13:24] the hard work really begins because this
thing this thing has to get built in 24
[13:28] months and I want to just point out even
though I've been getting a lot of the
[13:33] credit which I appreciate there's a lot
of folks that are responsible for that
[13:38] VA getting built I want to very
specially mention Bob Jim Kelly and
[13:42] who's sitting in the front row he deals
with things with that project behind the
[13:47] scenes that nobody knows about keeping
that project alive he's saved it
[13:51] multiple times since we started it the
building department that Bob oversees
[13:55] has been part of that project and and is
going to be part of all the other
[14:00] Redevelopment projects that we hope to
see happen in this in this town so I
[14:04] just wanted to also pass along some of
that credit uh they did they all deserve
[14:08] your thanks uh for that project getting
done and I just wanted to again
[14:13] appreciate the opportunity to be a
public servant that's what we do and it
[14:18] was a privilege to be here for the last
six years of my career I couldn't have
[14:22] asked to be in a better place thank you

yes councilman sukozi yes councilman
[20:16] Copp yes councilman lamb yes
councilman Roderick no
[20:22] council president Latana Mr Killian if
you don't mind just explaining to uh the
[20:26] people the public what a performance
guarantee is and why you would release
[20:29] it
[20:36] performance guarantee is basically an
insurance policy given to the township
[20:41] and the former in the form of partial
cash and partial bond to ensure that the
[20:46] work is completed in accordance with the
plans approved by the planning board in
[20:49] this case after the work has been done
and inspected by my office they moved to
[20:54] what's called a maintenance bond which
is sort of like the warranty so after
[20:57] the work is done we certify that then
it's appeared make sure the the trees
[21:01] don't die the sidewalk doesn't crack so
just to clarify though this this isn't
[21:05] releasing this is accepting
right Mr Chuck Hanley can you also
[21:09] explain that if you didn't subject the
township to litigation I just want to
[21:12] clarify something it is releasing the
performance guarantee and accepting a
[21:16] maintenance guarantee which is what Mr
Chicken was just explaining
[21:19] this Project's complete yes right so
we're moving them on to the basically
[21:23] the warranty period
the project been developed as in
[21:28] accordance with the approvals yes sir
and the performance guarantee uh the
[21:32] recommendation to release a performance
guarantee would not be provided to the
[21:35] council unless your office had inspected
those uh work and found it find it
[21:39] acceptable in accordance with the
approval that's correct sir thank you Mr
[21:43] lamb good question I was gonna say if
you didn't if you didn't follow the
[21:46] procedures probably for Mr McGuckin as
well then that would subject the
[21:49] township to exposure litigation is that
correct
[21:53] yeah spine or something the the
applicant went to the planning board
[21:56] it's a condition of their approval and
they're following what the right word
[22:00] requires thank you just for a legal
opinion uh Mr McGuckin if you don't
[22:03] release the performance guarantees if
our engineer says the work's been done
[22:07] in accordance with the plan and we don't
release the performance guarantee the
[22:10] attach it would be subject to a lawsuit
then face the law uh monetary damages
[22:14] penalties and potential attorneys fees
for the plan and if we don't accept the
[22:18] maintenance guarantee the town is not
protected in case something happens is
[22:21] that correct that's correct all right I
vote yes thank you
[22:24] foreign
roll call on item D is there any
[22:29] discussion you'd like Mr Lam no
discussion chair just a roll call thank
[22:32] you I'll make a motion to move item D

councilman Kopp yes councilman sachosi
[22:44] yes councilman lamb abstain councilman
quinlisk yes councilman Roderick
[22:51] yes council president Latana yes
uh item p
[22:57] and item uh uh W are probably both for
Mr chickenian if um do you have any
[23:03] specific questions Mr tremontlin or Mr
Anderson okay you can come to the
[23:07] microphone please
[23:17] just please state your name and address
for the record please yeah Bob from Olin
[23:20] 109 messenger Street uh it's in
reference to the uh the loop what roads
[23:26] are included in that Loop
water
[23:35] um
um this uh item p is well this is um
[23:42] this is uh really actually a grant
agreement uh Amendment
[23:47] um to answer your question the
particular there's really it's called a
[23:51] loop because that's what we thought it
was going to be when we first made the
[23:54] application it's really uh too parallel
two-way roads now Water Street and
[23:58] herflicker Boulevard a lot of the work
is going to be involving her the
[24:02] construction of perfect Boulevard which
right now is not a full Road
[24:06] um the other part of it another part of
that will be the roundabout that we've
[24:10] talked about past what this item is uh
just to explain to the for the matter
[24:15] for the public is we had a grant
agreement dated I believe is September
[24:20] of 21 with the Federal Highway
Administration for the 5.66 million
[24:26] dollar Grant of which uh is a portion of
the projects about uh 76 percent of the
[24:33] project
the grant agreement had a budget and a
[24:38] schedule in it uh what we what this
grant agreement changes is they allowed
[24:44] us right now we're in final design we're
about to start final design and then the
[24:48] next step would be to go out to bid and
then build the project by uh September
[24:52] of 2025 you're supposed to have it built
within five years of of the
[24:57] appropriation by Congress of the money
so what this grant agreement does is it
[25:01] it changes the the budget so it front
loads the design into the grant so that
[25:09] all of design costs that we really the
only cost we're incurring over the last
[25:12] couple of years have been design costs
the original budget had its split
[25:17] between the Grant and the match the
townships match now everything's going
[25:21] to be able to be paid for out of the
grant so we've had invoices that we've
[25:24] paid that we haven't been able to get
reimbursed for by signing this grant
[25:28] agreement that that will that that's a
formal recognition by the Federal
[25:31] Highway Administration that we can now
submit for reimbursement it's a
[25:35] considerable amount of money uh it's
about the the preliminary engineering
[25:39] costs alone was 544 thousand dollars so
we're going to be able to get reimbursed
[25:43] for some of that money now because of
this granted
[25:56] roundabout which
according to the picture
[26:01] the pictures don't fit the definition of
Amanda
[26:04] the pictures fit the definition of a
circle the circle is where the roads
[26:08] that are your roads come in square and
you go around around about where there's
[26:12] a minimal 30. so basically we
circle now my question is this
[26:19] Department of Transportation has many
many
[26:24] cons to building these okay one of the
cons for example is
[26:30] where one roadway or two can monopolize
the circle meaning where there's two
[26:36] lanes of traffic coming into the
roundabout or the circle this Mr Kelly
[26:43] Davis
statistical back in April that there's a
[26:48] 40 percent less chance of accidents
around
[26:52] important truth because if you look at
all the statistics that lead the end of
[26:57] the Record Service said the same thing
where you have two lanes of traffic in
[27:01] the same direction going into the circle
the accident rate goes up 60 percent
[27:05] the other thing in the states is they
should not be built in an urban area
[27:08] which we are a city here it should not
be built where you have consecutive
[27:13] traffic lights you have to buy traffic
lights down Water Street
[27:17] it's dangerous to pedestrians and
bicyclists and part of the premise of
[27:21] the new towers going up was that the
people because the hospital is a
[27:27] teaching hospital now people would be
walking or riding bikes going back and
[27:31] forth to the hospital and
Department of Transportation
[27:35] has already said they're dangerous to
pedestrians and bicycles so I guess it
[27:40] comes back to my question would be if
there are so many
[27:45] companies and what the other con is it
slows down traffic in peak hours that's
[27:49] another one of the concepts of
Department of Transportation road
[27:53] so why are we getting something that is
not going to help us
[27:59] it's
from all the things all the guns beating
[28:03] this situation
[28:05] as well and my lesson on the decision
I was told in April that one of the
[28:11] questions I guess that that I had back
then but I was I was uneducated as far
[28:16] as a man was that the traffic coming
into Lakers Grove there well the parkway
[28:21] going north
uh who's backed up in the mornings on
[28:25] the parkway well this year I've had the
great Fortune to go down to Manahawkin
[28:29] because my two grandsons
and I come back every morning between
[28:34] quarter after three and quarter to nine
[28:38] I've never been backed up on apartment
so I don't I I think one of the problems
[28:45] is being overlooked here is
where do
[28:52] they walked at Lakers Grove go
and
[28:57] number two is we still don't have a way
once you get people downtown
[29:03] we have two late roads we don't have
four lane roads to get around they get
[29:07] jammed up uh
I I
[29:11] don't understand
how the people couldn't do something as
[29:17] simple as
if you look like they follow people Mr
[29:20] tramone if you don't mind I'm just going
to ask Mr Chicken to explain what item p
[29:25] is before we get and uh
okay
[29:35] um
[29:40] be a Simple Solution instead of screwing
up everything downtown here put an exit
[29:45] over room nine
missions in an accident in Berkeley we
[29:50] have to we have to stick to item p and
all right unfortunately a lot of those
[29:55] suggestions aren't to deal with item P
can you please explain what item p is
[29:58] into the microphone please
[30:07] council president um item P I believe
was already answered by the by the
[30:10] township planner as to the process of
the grant there were several things
[30:14] mentioned about the design that I can
explain if you would like or we can
[30:19] perhaps do separately
yeah if you don't mind only because the
[30:24] design is not anything to do with item
three
[30:27] um so is there any other questions uh
pertaining to item P please
[30:32] I'll take them up take a motion
yeah but they pulled them separately
[30:37] right did you want p and w together or
is it separate
[30:43] that was p
[30:46] on P okay guess from here just name and
address in the microphone
[30:53] Art Anderson Paul Park Street Toms River
New Jersey on P I was wondering did the
[30:58] grant amount change on the amendment no
[31:02] the match from the town
what was that amount did that change
[31:12] the entire the entire project cost was
approximate I'm going to use General
[31:14] number 7.9 million 5.66 of that was paid
for the federal government the rest was
[31:19] the match was approximately 2.24 over
the life of the project
[31:26] is there any other questions for item p
on that we'll take a motion please move
[31:30] item P second
[31:34] emotions made by councilman cop and
seconded by councilman quimles
[31:37] councilman Copp yes councilman quinlisk
yes councilman sachosi yes councilman
[31:42] lamb yes councilman Roderick yes Council
vice president geagan yes council
[31:47] president Latana yes Mr Anderson did you
have a question on item w
[31:53] ow if you don't mind that's why the
people at home can hear you
[32:01] Art Anderson 12 Park Street Toms River
New Jersey my question on P is can I
[32:06] just double the explanation
[32:09] what's going on W
I never saw the wording before on uh
[32:16] accepting engineer inspection fees on a
site plan that's not the town so I'm a
[32:21] little curious on that Mr Chicken will
explain that please
[32:27] the uh the bonding laws for as we've
just spoken about did change several
[32:32] years ago not everything is bondable
such as private improvements however and
[32:38] with such as this case however the
township still has to inspect the work
[32:42] so in this case we're not looking for a
bond but they are the developers posting
[32:45] fees from my office to review and
inspect the project
[32:49] okay does that make sense to you Mr
Anderson
[32:54] so an engineering inspection is done by
the town not by an outside contractor
[33:00] it's either depending on workload the
township has in-house inspectors but
[33:04] when projects get we also use outside
Consultants to inspect
[33:09] whether they're whether the
whether it reimburses the Township's
[33:14] cost for its Personnel or the outside
the township taxpayers don't pay for to
[33:18] inspect the developers project right the
developers contributing uh for our
[33:23] engineering inspections
that engineering that's why I get a
[33:26] question thank you is there any other
questions on uh resolution w
[33:32] ow take a motion please move item W

in to have a pavement done
