It's been a long time now. My gosh. Um, and then we have our list of bills. That's our consent agenda to um open the meeting to the public on agenda items only. Anybody put public Not seeing anybody. I'll bring it back.

>> Thank you, Mayor. I gave a brief summation at the last meeting. So, we're looking forward to 2026. We've already uh had some dialogue today before session stand vendors. So we'll get that going early. A couple more DAN contexts for the uh summer. So that short.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh the public safety committee is circling for next week after next public safety year. Other than that, everything else showing another year.
>> Thank you very much. Council President Hman. >> So, uh, everyone should be aware that, uh, as far as the water vote that Voria has, uh, put in for a water rate
increase. and we are working uh as a team to ensure that Allenale is represented in those meetings. We uh ask Ray as soon as
possible to register us as interveners in the rapid case. Uh we have also reached out to meet with Violia just to talk about ensuring that the contract parameters that Allenville
signed with Violia are upheld in this particular rate bill. know as this moves along. And then as far as sewer goes, well maybe I should say also on water um construction
continues at New Street just for some upgrades that Violia is doing. We still own the property there. So um that hasn't been transferred over yet. So, we're working through things with them to um try to get this construction portions to go as smoothly as possible
for the POS permanent PAS treatment. And then as far as the sewer, I feel like maybe there's been a lot of work on sewer as it relates to uh the fair share housing settlement and the development
in Saddle River and the utilization of our sewer system. Um, but I feel like maybe the mayor you're right or best to very much. >> Thank you, mayor. Um, I look forward to
having our meetings in two weeks time before our next council meeting. Um, I want to remind everyone that one of our first months of our 250th birthday celebration year will take
place on January 25th at the Allenale Community Center. It's an event co-hosted by Lee Memorial Library and the John Fel House. It's entitled The Turn Coat and the Patriot. It's a talk with slides about New Jersey Governor William Franklin and Judge John Fel of
Allenale. It will be um run by Jim Wright, local author and historian. This should be a fun time for people to learn more about our local history. Learn more about William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin
and why Benjamin Franklin is a better person to be. >> Yeah. Is that's confirmed. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And then there's a uh a uh there going to be a proclamation.
>> Um I don't think it's going to be I'm not sure how we're going to do it, but >> on January 15th, we're going to do something special in Allenale and rededicate our section of Franklin Turnpike in honor of Benjamin Franklin
instead of his treacherous son. >> Find out. >> You'll find out more about it January 15th. There's any protesters wanting to defend William Franklin. >> Thank you McConnell. >> Uh, nothing at this time, Mayor. Thank
you. >> All right. >> So, we have our staff reports. >> Um, our CFO. >> Yes. I just have a couple of things. Um, first, I would like to address the community center. Um, come 2026, we're going to be offering the option to rent
both the meeting rooms and the gym for events. In 2025, it served as more of a trial year to evaluate how often residents utilize the gym between ARC Pickle Ball and our nonprofit groups in town. So, after analyzing usage, we're pleased to expand these rental options
for our residents. Um, moving forward, I am looking forward to seeing the changes in the DPW along with Superintendent of Google. We spent 2025 analyzing and restructuring the department. So,
with two new crew chiefs and really analyzing the departmental uh duties to improve the efficiency and operations, I look forward to seeing that uh go through. And then I'd like to thank Linda Cervino as well. Over the past year, we spent considerable amount of
time assessing the internal procedures of the clerk's department, um, including Crestwood procedures and identified many opportunities to streamline and improve the processes. Linda is always a pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing building our work relationship. Um, and then as far as
finance, I've begun closing out 2025 and I will begin the 2026 budget process soon. >> That's it. >> All right. Thank you very much. All right, Linda. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um, I actually summed up my 2025
um at the last meeting, so I have nothing else to report. >> Department is looking ahead to the new year, ready to face challenges, support one another, and continue serving our community with pride, perfection, and tenure.
>> Thank you, Deputy Superintendent Andy. >> Happy New Year, everybody. >> Happy New Year. Just to go off what uh administrator said, um very happy to report that Jan and Drew were promoted to crew chiefs at the DW as of January 1. I want to thank the administrator and counter. Um this
will be a huge shock to restructuring um our department. Uh we've had a few snow events over the past few weeks and I'm happy to report the snow very well. Uh we've begun picking up Christmas tree from the west side of town uh this week and next week uh we'll start the east side.
Reminder that the recycling center is only open on Saturday's current combined two. And as a reminder to our residents, please sign up for the burough alerts and newsletters. This information Kenzie found on the burough website on the bottom left in the contact section.
>> Thank you. >> And our burough attorney, Ray West, I missed you. I think this hiatus 24 hours at least. Yes. And >> as you know, I usually I usually do my my update or comments pretty uh extemporaneously, but this time because
some developments and councilman alluded to this, I did make some notes, which nobody else will be able to read, which is a good thing. Um, so we've been speaking for months about uh uh our ongoing affordable housing litigation, as uh most municipalities have, as well as our ongoing Avalon Bay litigation.
And I think most people know that Avalon Bay is a uh housing project located south river uh immediately adjacent to the Allenale border. Uh over the several months I guess there was two matters became inextricably entwined uh and really uh was almost one case both
trying to resolve you couldn't resolve the uh the lower moderate income housing obligation without resolving Avalon Bay and you couldn't resolve Avalon Bay without resolving the lower and moderate income housing obligation. >> But that was also a strategy. >> Yeah, it was a strategy. Yeah, but the strategies are good. I think uh as as
I'll talk about, it worked out, you know, rather well for us in in the long game. Uh which is really a compliment to the governing body and I and I do want to underscore that. Um so the deadline for municipalities, we give my voice, but the deadline for municipalities complying with the affordable housing
obligation uh was December 31st. Uh we were uh we were going up to sit sort of on the buzzer. Uh >> it was on December 31st >> with the judge at 11:00 and I guess it was uh sort of approaching noon and then some aftermath after that uh where everything was finally put into place.
Uh but I do think given the magnitude of both of those issues and the fact that on December 31st we're able to settle both fair share housing obligation and the Avalon Bay litigation that that really u requires you underscoring the
the immensity of that to the bur. Um I want to say that fair share and I'm sure the mayor will contested her comments to this fair share um basically took a rather odorous position in terms of the affordable housing obligation burough. Um it included an attempt to really
reszone the entire downtown. Uh a a clear community changer um and reacquest to that. Uh and it was a testament to the entire governing body particularly the mayor and 7:00 poke calls and uh uh evening weekends whatever it took. Uh
but a lot of what I'll call scared down poker was played uh where rather than being bullied by fair share housing and also by Avalon and even though they are a project that's located in Saddle River uh they also objected to our housing plan and became a party not only to
their own litigation but to our affordable housing litigation. Um, but I think that this governing body, the committee and and uh the mayor, councilwoman, council woman um and uh our special counsel, our engineer, our
consultant, uh every everybody stood resolute and and I think that what ultimately resulted was a uh a significant win for the bureau in terms of the affordable housing plan that was ultimately approved. Um I think it is is
the the least impactful possible plan under the circumstances of affordable housing upon the community as a whole. Um to the mayor's credit uh uh this was you know her issue standing resolute on not impacting the downtown. Uh that was a significant significant win for the
burough and that's why I did want to make these comments because um I don't think that can be understated uh how important that was for the community and the character of the community. Um what also comes with that is 10 years of immunity to builder's revenue losses which was another thing that fair share
threatened the burrow with that they wouldn't approve the plan would leave us exposed. So we're going to talk about plays there and I'm focus approved. Uh we have a 10-year immunity builder's remedy and the Avalon lawsuit uh in order to accommodate their desire
to use our sewer system. Uh the governing body even got $500,000 a half a million dollars from the Kitty to boot uh not a bad revenue source for the barrel. So when I say that uh uh I think that this needs to um to be spoken about
and to underscore really what the accomplishments were uh really no small thing for development. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you. I'll um just piggy back off that in my report. Um I think Ray summarized everything. I just wanted to emphasize how intense it really was like these days leading up to it because we
knew that it was Cinderella when the clock struck, you know, at the 31st we would lose our immunity and then you have what's called builder's remedy lawsuit where builders from all over come in. So it's really kind of what they hang over your head. But we did have you know we did have leverage. We
we kind of like knew all the players. We had a really good team. Um Suzanne Lobos was part of the team in the beginning and then Liz to Homeman came in at the end to help out with the with the sewer which was um just very invaluable as well as all of our experts and Ry to get us to this joint as he mentioned. Um the
downtown for me was just a no-brainer. I mean they they wanted to put up four stories of downtown and then they were trying to say we'll just carve out a little bit but I just knew once you carve out a little bit that's it. they'll they'll just So, um so we have our our um
our realistic development potential at four and we're actually meeting those with deed restriction extensions. So those are already taken care of. So we don't have to build another veil and we don't have to build another because remember four is four times five. So that's like 20 units somewhere we would
have to build. So we don't have to do that because we have actually extended our deep restrictions which they're huge. Um it's not over yet though because S River has five development groups that are you know going to be coming through our uh our town. There's
a meeting that we're going to >> going to be attempting >> attempting >> to come through our town because S River quite frankly they don't have so they don't have infrastructure for this type of development. So, we're going to go uh um uh Liz Hman and I are going to go tomorrow night to another Saddle River
Planning Board meeting because there's two more developments um 12 Brother developments that they don't have sewer for yet. And the only closest sewer is is our sewer again. So, this is going to be starting up all over again. But, let me tell you something that is going to be massive. I mean, if you want to go all
the way back up to where um Mont is. So, we know everything that's going on in Mont. Then you've got um BMW that's right next to adjacent and Wil 400 units. Then you come down a you're coming from like the mall there. You're coming down. Then you have where Rosie O'Donnell is next to Wandell School.
It's going to be 58 units. Then you keep going on the right is Alangquin Trail, which is going to be another 58 units. And then you keep going, you've got the Michael's project one, which is 128 units across the street. They're also going to build another 42 and they keep
on going into Allenale 265 units for Avalon. I mean it's going to affect their silence is going to be affected. Seriously, they're very high issues with their schools. So um here we are. But um we don't I don't want to celebrate yet because we still don't have anything signed. Um, so
that's the that's the part we have to um and I'll explain it more at a town hall or something, but I think I just want to thank everybody because it was pretty intense and um I think we we did okay, especially getting um half a million dollars that we now. So,
all right. Any unfinished business or new business? I'd like to open the meeting up for any comments on anything. Any other comments? Did anybody get my uh end of year newsletter? Did >> you get my end year? >> One of my students came do that.
>> I'm the other ones didn't get it. >> I didn't get it. >> One of my students came to me and was like, I read all the letters. It was wonderful. So get it. >> Just how is that possible? >> I for every printed
get it. Did you get it, J? Anyway, so we try to like, you know, you know, just to communicate as much as we can with residents to let them know that we're doing. So that was a lot of work on behalf of the entire council to um to let everybody know the projects that we're working on and we'll do the same
next year. So hopefully everybody um enjoyed enjoyed reading it. I wanted to make it four pages, but it turned out to be seven. We're doing a lot of stuff, so um all right, anybody else from the public want to come up and speak?
Anybody? See anybody? Motion to adjurnn. All >> in favor? >> I second. >> Okay. So this is the end of our cinadea. Um we have to actually wait 10 minutes for 7 o'clock to start our regular meeting.
