Reign of 42 West 23rd Street. Um what is the change I guess in the ordinance storm water management? Are we giving uh uh what is it about? I guess I'm asking. So I mean there's there's a thing here
about um runoff and different types of water that can be stored and can't be stored. Does anybody else here want to expand on that? Some of our I know the full thing's at city hall. I didn't get a chance to get over to read it, but you're not giving it away to it's not
going to another company or it's there's certain groundwater if it has contaminants in it. It cannot be stored, cannot be discharged back into body of water. Um that's most of the change here. And I I think what it does also uh
council president is it makes applications for redevelopment uh back to a certain date subject to the storm water management requirements that were not in effect prior to um so now that that is a requirement applications and
redevelopment plans that have not yet been effectuated are now subject to those same requirements. Oh okay. So it's really a benefit to the city and the rest of the and submissions that are required go to division of watershed protection and restoration
which is in Trenton, right? Because I believe all the all the new development coming in is meeting up all the standards and even making them better than than the old Okay. This like this like definitely mandates everything. So sometimes it has to just be put in um in
pveyance of the law, right? Get everything in order. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Anyone else? No protest against objections to or statements in favor of this ordinance or its passage has been filed with me. May I have a motion to close? I move second.

Um Pamela Stur um 42 Maple Avenue in Hillsdale in Bergen County. Um I just want I'm speaking about the issue of the USDA contract um to Roundup and gas um
Canada geese to death. Um, I just wanted to um state my opposition to it even though I know I'm not a resident. I'm trying to help animals statewide. I'm part of the Animal Protection League of New Jersey. And um I just wanted to say
that um many other municipalities who formerly had a contract with the USDA um and used this method to control the geese um have now switched to more humane methods um
successfully and um they're aside from the inhumity of it and the cruelty of it, it takes them up to 45 minutes to die in the gas chamber. It's horrifying. they suffocate to death. Um, it's also much more cost-effective to do something
like habitat modification or something like that because if if it's an expense at all, it's a onetime expense as opposed to having to pay the USDA every year to do this because anytime you get rid of a flock of geese, the next year a new flock is going to come in. So it's
just a perpetual continual thing that will be inhumane and costly every year ongoing. So just wanted to state my opinion on that. Thank you all for listening. Thank you. Hi. Thank you for allowing me to speak.
Dorene Frager, Saddle Brook, New Jersey. I'm with Animal Protection League of New Jersey. And it was brought to our attention that 96 geese were gassed at Avenue A. 75 geese were gassed at Thomas D. Dominico Park. 40 geese were gassed
at Dennis P. Collins Park. 105 geese were gassed at Veterans Park. From 2020 to 2024, 316 geese have been gassed to death in the city of Ba Bon during the mold period when geese are flightless.
The city of Bayon is allowing the USDA wildlife services onto their properties and parks year after year to gas to capture and gas Canada geese. We are asking Tom Carter and Jacqueline McNalty to cancel the lethal methods of the USDA
and work with animal protection league to implement non-lethal methods which includes habitat modification. We are available for another site visit with um APPL's wildlife mitigation team and our ecological landscape designer to
implement a pilot program of habitat modification as we discussed during our last meeting in 2023. Nothing has changed in Beyon. The geese are still being gassed to death by the USDA. Thank you for allowing me to speak. I
hope you will consider taking lethal off the table with the USDA. Cancel the contract. Allow Animal Protection League of New Jersey to assist with non-lethal methods. Killing has not and will not solve Bayon's conflict with geese. Thank
you for allowing me to speak. And I also have a book of new and improved non-lethal methods that I would like to hand in. And um you know, like I said, we are available. we want to help. We will pay the cost to implement the
program and um it's just fallen on deaf ears and I I just don't understand. So who do I give this to? These are all new Darlene Denega. Okay. Soon in the early morning hours during their molting where they can't
fly and get away, the they gas their babies, they round them up and they die in agony, fully conscious as the gas burns them from the inside out. It is one of the most horrific deaths imaginable. An animal doesn't own
anything apart from from his or her life, and we still manage to steal it. Wild animals are less wild and more humane than many humans of the world. Please stop guessing our geese. Kim Dunn
came down 87 West 34th Street. I'm in support of the APL. I'm devastated. First of all, I didn't even know that this was happening until last week and you've been doing it for five years. I can't believe that. But I am devastated.
And I think this is a horrible thing to put a poor animal go through. You wouldn't want to do it. You would if you feel pain. You know how it feels pain. So why would you do it to all to a poor animal? I don't understand these beautiful creatures. I was
wondering. I went to stop and shop and I these beautiful geese used to be there. I don't even see them anymore. It's like you just capture everything and do what you want. I I don't know. I I I can't believe it. You I have to say, Councilman Labaloosa, I spoke with you
and you're delightful. And thank you because I know how you feel about animals just like we do and I know you are in support of us. Please, please stop this. It's it's terrible what's going on in our world. We have enough.
Just please stop it. Um, does anybody else have anything to say about the geese before? Because I'd like to just make a comment. I'd like to say something. Are you on the list, sir, or no? I'm not on the list. Okay. Am I on the list?
So, I'm not allowed to speak. All right. I'll let you speak. Sure. Just something real short. I mean, I agree with everything that these people just said. Uh, and but the one thing they seem to have omitted was that no one knows that this is going on. And the people that I mentioned it to were just walking from
from 34th Street. By the way, my name is Joe Shimshack, 89 West 34th Street. I was going to ask you that. Thank you. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Uh, just walking from 34th Street down to here, handed out a few flyers, told a few people, and they couldn't believe it, and they were outraged. And and the more
people know that this is happening, the more people are outraged. I mean, no one knew about this. It's going on undercover of the night where they just round up these animals and gas them to death. It's it's ridiculously cruel and inhumane. And especially considering that they're all alternative methods. I
I don't understand why this continues to be done. All that has to do is cancel the contract and there's so many other ways. Airports use alternative methods. Uh there there are other areas of the country, the state, that use alternative methods. And I don't understand why we're not using alternative methods.
So, if I can just make a comment to all of you, everybody here, all the elected officials in this building care about animals a real lot. Nobody from the city of Bayon is ever trained to kill an animal at all. So, I think the flyer
that you handed out is not totally false, but it's not totally true either. Nobody in the city of Bayon does gassing or any other killing at all. nor would I personally approve anybody being trained for that as well. I do understand that
there are government agencies that come into our parks. They round these animals up and there's things that happen to these animals specifically. I guess you you must have found this on some informationational website and I do remember meeting with you two a couple
years ago with uh director Carter and I believe Miss McNelte and you had mentioned but at the time I don't believe the cost factor was offered to be paid for at the time it was like
well I remember there was some BMS and different things so I don't want to get into a back and forth with you we can discuss discuss this after the fact. If you'd like to stay after the meeting even, we can discuss a little more. Darlene, I see in city hall too now and then and we do discuss it. So, not to
let this go, you know, really really far, but um the city of Bayon cares about animals. The EPA comes in. I was unaware of what they were even doing with this. So, I don't want you to think like we're approving any cost to kill
anything. So, so you have to let me finish now. I let everybody speak. You have to let me speak now. I also work for the county. I'm in the parks. I see what they do. There's a company called Geese Chasers. Uh we actually go out there and we have
things that make loud noise and they they scatter. There's definitely more humane ways. and I am going to give you my personal guarantee that I'm going to look into those companies and then I'm going to see what your offer is also to help us with creating some of those things and we'll go from there even if
we do small steps. Um I think director Carter was in agreement with me that we could try this in small steps and see what happens. So can I just say one thing come up to the microphone please though and talk.
I did include the uh Freedom of Information Act which is the government foyer report and it does have Tom Carter's name on it and he is the one who has signed off with that agreement with the USDA. So even though Bayon
doesn't do the gassing, the USDA is doing the gassing that has been approved by Bayon. So, I have that in there and information that I just actually learned about our participation in that and that's what I'm going to look at to change and I do have the new contract
that has been signed with the USDA. It was signed on January 16th of 2025. So, it's going to happen again this year. Well, I have to see what I can do about certain changes. I don't know if I can get that implemented for this year. I'm going to try my best. Yeah, I put
everything in there. Those reports are in there. Um, the USDA report from 2020 and I'm gonna have this book. I'll keep the book and read it and my colleagues can read it as well. Okay. But I did include all of that information for you and the new contact. Your contact is in
there as well, right? So, okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mike was signal. micro signal 42 West 23rd Street. Uh you've all received a letter, an email
from uh one of my friends, uh Jeff Train. He's a Hoboken bird watcher and he was also part of the team that named the common turn the city bird for Hoboken. and he does bird watching here in Bon and he's been out the golf course
and do Stephen Greg Park and also and Med and met one of our great Burden friends Bayonette here in Bayon also and uh I've sent you a letter but I'm going to read the letter that he sent to the council members to call to attention the
uh yellow crown knighth her to be named the bird of Bon. And this will be a great chance after this other story we've just heard about. This is the good side that's going on. I write to you not only as a burda but
as someone who has seen firsthand the joy, curiosity, and community that can take flight when a city chooses to recognize and celebrate the natural world around it. In Hoboken, I had the privilege of leading an adversary effort
that resulted in the common turn being named our city's official bird. That small but powerful gesture has already begun generating pride, awareness, and deeper engagement with our waterfront environment. Today I write to encourage
Bayon to make a similarly meaningful declaration to sponsor pass a resolution naming the yellow crown knigh heron as Bon's official aven species. Once pushed out of wetlands by industry
and pollution, it now finds refuge in Bayon's restored revitalized shores. Bayon has done the hard work of investing in its marshes and estuaries. You've partnered with organizations, led cleanups, and committed to substantiability,
sustainability, and now nature's return in the favor. The herrings are coming home. What better way to honor this ecological renaissance than by choosing a bird that reflects Bayon's geography, spirit, and
diversity. The yellow crown knigh heron nest in trees above coastal marshes. It ranges from the southern US to Central and South America, mirroring the vibrant culture threads woven throughout the Bayon population. It is elegant, resilient, and thrives in
overlooked spaces just like your city. What's more, these birds, Bon's birds, nest in high-rise colonies near the water, just like the revitalized communities now lining your shores. This reality goes to the very core of our request that you recognize these birds.
Bayon's population of night herand literally nesting among your citizens and within your neighborhoods. The Bayon Nature Club, which is led by Mike and Patricia, have most recently spotted 17 active nest located around your beloved
community, 29 chicks so far and counting. What a symbol of urban renewal, safety, and togetherness. and spirit. Significantly, Bayon welcomed scores of aven species throughout the year, according to Eirders have
identified 117 species within your city. Some even nest here. However, none of these species have taken root in such a conspicuous manner on Kennedy Boulevard, on Westside, in other similar spaces, and none are so intertwined within your
neighborhoods. a visible reminder of your work and the work of generations before you who envisioned Bayon, an industrial New Jersey city that could thrive substantially here on the water. So I appreciate if you stay in with this and try to name
that yellow crown knigh heron as the bird of the city before they leave for the winter home in South America. and to uh the city has worked with us in saving the birds and I know this thing that just came up with this uh the gas and the geesees is horrendous. I'm sure you
will be working on that taking care of it with the government and the city. As we all know, we're dealing with that whole situation where the government seems to want to take over cities and ignore their city councils and ignore their mayors. So, this is just another
part of it, I guess. Thank you. I appreciate anything you do. Melissa Gdeski Rodriguez. Good evening. Melissa Gdeski Rodriguez, 148 Avenue F. So, I'm going to take two different paths here. Okay. I want to start off with something real positive because I've lived here my whole life.
I'm born and raised and um the other day my car broke down and Chuck at Harrington's took care of it and I had to go to J&J and Billy helped me print a whole presentation for work. Then I realized you need a three-hole punch and I went to Pompei and like it was just great, right? That was like the
experience. But it's really the story, right? It's what Bon's all about. Our local guys, I know everybody's first name. Everybody knew me. Everybody took care of me like family because we're a pretty cool community. Like I I really say it and I genuinely mean it. And I think that's why a lot of people come
here. We talk about what's important. The geese is horrendous. I just want to support that because that's sad. It's it's so it's heartbreaking quite honestly. Um but we're we're definitely a little bit better than that. I'm happy you guys are going to work on it. Um so
I want to turn the page a little bit to um there was an article that was released and I don't see it on today's agenda. So I'm still educating myself on development here. Um that there was some more development to go up on Avenue F. Listen, I'm all for it. I don't want to I don't stand up here against
development, but I enjoy smart development. The east side and Miss Me, you can probably vouch for that. It's a little rough right now. It's a little rough. I have to drive around it all day and there's days that I can't get across the bridge. Takes me 20 minutes to get
to Avenue E. That's a good thing people are moving in. I want to look at the positive, but we're building more. And I think something to consider is to look at some demographic studies. what what has been accomplished since these development plans have taken place. It's too late. It's going to get approved and
I know that. I don't want to stop it. What I want to say is can there be a long-term plan put into place where we see the benefits of that. Like I have so many questions about financial agreements. I have questions about how much more can they do for us because we do a lot for them by giving them our property. We give them our space. We
give them our businesses. Right? Those residents, those developers get to enjoy an everything bagel. They'll probably get their car fixed by Chuck and they'll probably need printing for flyers in the neighborhood at J&J. And I say it and I mean it because I've seen it. I really want us to start thinking outside the
box of where is this taking us and what do we want to be? We want to be Bon. We don't want to be Hoboken downtown Jersey City. Stop that. We are our own identity. We are a unique breed. I proudly say I proudly say that, right? Um but you take a look at Union City.
You take a look at Bergen Line. There's also something to be said that they are beautifying that. It's actually quite it's quite gorgeous. We have family over there and I think that might be another place for you to put your efforts towards is beautifying Broadway. Make it attractive for the people who are coming here. You're building these units. Give
them a reason to stay because that's the number one complaint is just there's not enough shopping in Bon. They don't know Chuck. They don't know Billy. They don't know a Pompei Slice you can only eat there. We do. but let's make it so they can be introduced to that culture. Let's bring them as part of our culture. So,
that's all I'm asking is think outside the box while we're approving these developments and maybe do some pre-work to make sure we're still headed on the right path. Thank you, Sharon Noski. I'm going to follow up a little bit on where Melissa left off because she made
a statement that kind of ties in. She said, "What can we ask the developers what they can do for us? You know, we give them everything." I heard say we give them their land. Well, I wasn't here last month and you passed two resolutions, R3 and R4. Changing plans
that were passed. Yes, I was in 100% agreement with them. I voted for them when I sat up there as area non-comden nation. So that means the people have to acquire the land on themselves. So you guys change those plans. two properties,
Holiday Tree and Trim and the Avanti Restaurant. You made them areas in of condemnation. So for people that don't understand that it's eminent domain. So you will take the city council should not be in the business of picking winners and losers. You're taking someone's private land and you're and
it's eminent domain for redevelopment, which is different than regular eminent domain. Regular eminent domain has to have be for public use. But when you use it in a redevelopment agreement, it's for private use. So you are taking some property from person A and you're giving
and you yes could you name the redeveloper. You sitting up there pick the person you're going to give their land to forcibly take their land and give it to another because you deem that you know the greater good. So that is exactly what that means. Now, it is a
constitutional issue, right? Because the fifth amendment doesn't per only permits eminent domain generally for public use. New Jersey is one of the few states that does allow it for redevelopment per purposes in private. I don't dis I disagree with it, but I'm not a state
legislator, right? Um so, and you know, also, you know, we we get sold all the time that it's for the greater good. There's going to be um overly broad definitions of blight is used. We do that on everything here. we say that area isn't blighted and that's what goes
and and New Jersey thankfully legislation and the courts have been cracking down on that and and pushing back and there's case law to say that you know what you're calling blighted and needing to be forcibly taken from someone doesn't necessarily meet the real criteria in the constitution but
you know and we're always told that it's going to be benefit the residents we're going to have all this economic you know right revitalization and you know and it's going to be but you know what usually happens And there's case studies on this. More often the developer benefits more than the residents and the
neighborhood. So I think you're going down a dark path where we're deciding and picking winners and losers. You're elected officials. You should not be picking winners and losers and taking property from one for a developer who you all know who who all supported you
strongly. I understand that. So I get that. Um, so, um, you know, you you're taking land from somebody and giving it to somebody else, you know, non-comdonation. And I will say three people who who were sitting up there with me at the time, um, Neil and Juan
and Gary, we had this issue. There was a with the um, starting point when they were doing the um, the movie theater and the owner there, Mr. Chuck, hired an eminent domain lawyer to come and protect his rights. And that was a
redevelopment plan that was done and we changed it because the underlying one for Texico before we were up there had a condemnation clause in it. And we sat up there and we said, "Mr. Chuck, we will not do that." We amended it and made it non- condemnation. And we all said we
would never take property by condemnation if it wasn't for a public use. Well, I guess you guys need to be reminded of that. Thank you. Just in the interest of clarification, I was against it then. I voted against it last month. I believe there's something on tonight that I intend to vote against
again. And you know, just the the broad brush of you all. I just wanted to make that clarification. So, I I really don't want to go back and forth on this issue. So, let's clarification on the on the resolution that you're talking about, Councilman. Uh that is a non-condemnation area. So,
I think you should probably read the resolution before you make opinions. Thank you. constitutes a condemnation area in need. I wonder if we might get some further clarification on that. Do we want to Well, you want to go do the introductions first? Sure. Let's go
through the regular pace of the meeting. Moving on, we're going to 07, which is an ordinance proposed for introduction. It is an ordinance to exceed the municipal budget appropriations limit

Mr. Carol. Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Missur. Hi. Mr. Lapaloosa. Hi. 12 is authorizing an amended and restated financial agreement for long-term tax exemption for the property located at 155 Goldsboro Drive, which is
identified as block 790 lot 1.01 and a resolution fixing Wednesday, January 16th as a time and place for a public hearing and final passage. It's moved by council member Perez. Mr. Lapalooa, will you second? Second. On the resolution, Mr. Booker. Mr. Carol, hi. Mr. Perez,
hi. Miss Wemer exactly how long-term is long-term and is that what property is that? Is that the ferry property? Just the property down the base. It was one financial plan. They're splitting it between the two properties now. Both properties were under one financial
plan. It's now being split into the two. So you could see 012 is 155 golds borrow. 013 is 110 golds borrow. There was a change of ownership as well. So after the change of ownership, they
decided to split the properties but split the financial agreement as well. Right. So, they're splitting the property and they're only allowing for a long-term tax exemption on one of them because one says that's what it's allowing for and one doesn't say that. So, I'm just wondering how long there's
a financial agreement on both of them, right? But, um I'm looking and 012 says it's going to allow for long-term tax exemption and then 013 just says it is amending and restating the financial longterm 013 has long term in the actual
ordinance. Oh, it does. Yeah. Depends upon what the pink sheet says is what you get. And I I'm looking for the number of years. I don't see that right away. Nor do I. No. Does anybody know the number of years?
No. No, it doesn't break it down into years in the ordinance. Was the property down the base? I really don't know. I'm not sure. Council President, I can shed some light. It's not. Excuse me. No, it's not them. It has It's not them at all. This
was Clman if I'm sorry. I can shed some light. Council president. So 30 years in answer to your question about financial agreement. This is a financial agreement you already approved prior. They uh wanted to have it split into two entities, identical terms, 30 years, two
separate financial agreements identical to the ones you already approved previously. Okay. And it is 30 years though. It is 30 years. So, but it's definitely from a change of ownership and it was split because the financial agreement included both
properties. Okay. See vote, Miss Beamer. Mr. Lapaloosa. I 13 is authorizing an amended and restated financial agreement for the
property located at 110 Goldsboro Drive. It also is for a long-term tax exempt which is identified as block 722 lot one and it's moved by council member the council president Mr. Perez will second second Mr. I'm sorry for what it's worth. And when
you get to R seven later, I it's it's decidedly non- condemnation and there was a typo in the agenda looks like. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Yeah, it says it in the first and second paragraph.
So on 013, Mr. Booker, hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Reamer. Hi, Mr. Lapaloosa. Hi, 04 is an ordinance authorizing the sale of property located at 15-21 West 8th
Street which is identified as block 283 lots 18 19 and 24 and west 24 West 9th Street which is identified as block 283 lot 28 to the Bayon Housing Authority for the amount of 2 million $100,000 and
a resolution fixing Wednesday July 16th at the time place for public hearing and final passage. It's moved by council member Perez. Mr. Booker, will you second? And on the resolution, Mr. Booker, Mr. Carol, we can ask. Mr. Perez, I Miss We
Mr. Lapaloosa. I Mr. Bowman, can we we have a question for 012? the words tax exemption is that just for because the the financial part has been restructured. So Jackie, did you want to ask a
different question? So for O2, yeah, I I guess where my confusion lies and and please forgive me for this. Um where my confusion lies is in the word long-term tax exemption. So it is not necessarily that they are taxexempt.
They are operating under a financial agreement under a pilot. Yes. Is that correct? Um they're they're they're taxexempt but they pay an annual service charge or we call it a payment in L of taxes in lie of taxes. So they don't not pay taxes. The statute has a different
name for it. Exactly. So they Yeah. So they pay an annual service charge which we keep 95% of. And Exactly. is all Okay. And that's the same as an 013. It's just but it was every financial agreement you've ever done uh in city.
That's fine. That's fine. I apologize. I think in they must have left out the words long-term tax exemption or added it in one title and as you said the pink sheets I guess are what they are. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. 05 is amending and supplementing
the revised german ordinances of the city of bound chapter 7 traffic and a resolution fixing Wednesday July 16th at 6 p.m. in Darthy. Harrington council chambers as time place for public hearing and final passage. It's moved by the council president Mr. Booker. Will

Okay. Um Councilman Booker wants to make a mention on CR. Before we do the vote, please. You want to remove from the consent completely? Yeah, let's let's remove CR8 so he could speak on that and we'll do
that after. Any other questions on the consent resolution on the remaining consent resolutions? Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss

urban enterprise zone coordinator to submit the preliminary zone development plan to the New Jersey urban enterprise zone authority Okay, good evening ladies and gentlemen. Uh, I just wanted to say something that I purposely bought in a copy of the uh,
preliminary uh, resolution development plan by the UEE and I just wanted to say it's a comprehensive there's a lot of information on here and I'd like the UEZ coordinator to come up and kind of explain because I want the general public once it becomes aware and they
can read this for themselves. There's a lot of information uh in terms of what the UEE means, what it does for the city of Bon and it was mentioned and I wrote it down in my in my notes about the beautifification that was mentioned in terms of Broadway and what the UEE does. So, if you can elaborate a little bit, I
would appreciate that. So, um this will be posted for the public to read after you guys approve the the plan for 30 days, and we will be accepting um public input. Um any changes that they feel that we need to add on to our five-year
plan. Um, one of the things on there was beautifification and as m um Melissa was stating I mean we're going towards to hopefully help u redevelopment with the restrict the area of Broadway and that's including you know cleaning up trash or
just um making sure that the facades and signages for our businesses they have a little help with that and um anything else that the public feels that I need to do to help our businesses and Broadway and other areas in Uzi. You're welcome. Okay. And and in closing real quick, I just want to say thank you
uh Mr. Farber. Uh the general public once you read this, they touch base on everything that is going on in Bon demographics in terms of the expansion and the growth that's going on in this town. And I think it's important and I say to my colleagues, I I'm not calling
anybody out, but if you get a chance, I read this this document from front page to the end and it has a lot of good information that needs to be addressed and looked at. And I just want to say uh thank you for this report and I'm going to vote on it. Thank you very much.
Thank you. So on CR8, Mr. Booker. Hi Mr. Carol. Hi Mr. Perez. Hi. Missur. Hi Mr. Lapaloosa. I CR1 is authorizing the increase to the
contract with cable supply company inc for by the additional amount of $13,000 for invoices and future purchases of repairs for parts for city vehicles making the total contract amount not to exceed $43,000. You can still move it as a whole.
And on CR11, Mr. Booker, hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weamer. Hi, Mr. Lapaloosa. I R1 is the introduction of the 2025 local municipal budget and fixing Wednesday,
July 16th at 6 p.m. in the Darthy E. Harrington Council Chambers as a time and place for public hearing and final passage. Would like to move it. and on it. Yes. Come up to the day, please.
We since you're introducing it tonight and the hearing next week, we can get a copy right after the meeting of the budget. Ah, there you go. Thank you. Ask and you shall receive. Thank you. So, on introduction, Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr.
Carroll. Hi, Mr. Perez. I Miss Weamer. Hi, Mr. Lapaloos. Hi. R2 is authorizing the purchasing agent to per execute any and all documents and take any and all actions necessary to effectuate the Bayon City Hall phase 2
HVAC and duck cleaning from train USA in the amount of 1,36,062 through the omni contract 3341 would like to move it. Move it. Second on a resolution Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr.
Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weame. Hi, Mr. Lapaloosa. Hi. R3 is certifying the compliance of the Municipal Council with the United States Employment Opportunity Commission enforcement guidance of the consideration of arrest and conviction
records in employment decisions under the title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Would like to move it? Second and on the resolution, Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Pres. Hi, Miss
Weamer. Do we have a better understanding of what exactly that means? The resolution is uh about us. Um the governing body has has to be familiar with the enforcement guidance of the
hiring practices with consideration of arrest and conviction. Yeah. Right. With criminal history and do we have a better understanding of what that means? I'm sorry. I I don't know if you do. I'm saying
exactly. So maybe you want to speak to somebody and No, I'm just wondering do we have a I'm open to it. I'm just not quite sure what it means. I I think it's a matter of disclosure about it. The statute require the
statute requires that we take this into consideration what the state says we have to take into consideration when we're hiring people. So we're just abiding by a state. We're just complying with what the state mandates. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. We're in the middle of a
vote though. Do you want No, I haven't started the vote yet. So, the question is, can you speak after the vote? Let us vote and then if you Well, I hope you listen to before you vote my comment. Okay. Because you're all So, to me, this says, I mean, everyone's interpreting what this says. It's you're certifying that the city's
in compliance with something that you're not even sure from the discussion back and forth what it is. So, how can you know if you're in compliances or and and when it says you're in compliance, I would think it means more than we have this law. It would it would indicate that you guys are certifying that you
have controls in place to make sure that this is being enacted. I'm just that that would be my understanding in in my field of work. That's what that would mean. It was I'm certifying that I am aware that we have the correct procedures and processes to comply with
this law. So, but it doesn't seem like you knew what the law is. So I'm a little confused on how you're all going to com certify that you're certifying that you're following it, right? And and tom I don't totally disagree with that. So my my question is that is performed
at a level within human resources. Correct. I we could table this make sure we get everything and bring it back on. Yeah, absolutely. Especially we also adopted this last year. This is required by the state in order for us to adopt a budget. Right. So who is responsible for
for enacting? HR. HR. Yes. And when this came out la last year was the first year that the state came out with this, I sent it over to the law department and uh the law department vetted it and then sent me a memo to say yes, we are in compliance with it and and the law
department has provided you with that memo again this year. No, it it's it's our hiring policy. I don't have a microphone. Oh, sorry. Neil, let her speak on your microphone. No,
share it. I think I can be loud. The um number one, our employment employee handbook has been revised. needs to be adopted. But we have both
outside and inside council review hiring practices so that the HR guidelines is inclusive of what the state lady that works there can actually um follow the practice but we're in compiance. We're in compliance and it's
a state guideline. Okay, that's a weird I'm comfortable with that. And that was my discussion with the law director um to make sure that we're in compliance. Uh but I have no problem tableabling this. If you would rather have a broader, we can do that for we're
certifying and we have a memo from our law department that states that we are in compliance with the mandate from the state and within those guidelines and it's part of our our um human resource policy. Yeah, I'm I'm I have no I don't I'm not objecting to it. I just needed
further clarif I understand. Okay, Maline. So, where are we? We're on Miss Wemer's vote. Oh, I apologize. That's all right. And Mr. Lapaloosa. I four is designating 18th Street Partners
MW Urban Renewal LLC as the redeveloper of the property located at 33-37 East 18th Street, which is identified as block 226, lots 12, 13, and 14. and authorizing the preparation of a redevelopment agreement.
Move it. Second. And on the resolution, Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weame. Hi, Mr. Lapaloosa. I R four is designating 958-968
Broadway as a non-condination area need of redevelopment and authorizing the planning board to prepare a redevelopment plan. So move second on that resolution. Mr. Booker Mr. Carol I Mr. Perez. Hi Missur.
Hi. Mr. Lapaloosa. I this was R4. R six is authorizing and directing the planning board to reopen the Baym Harbor redevelopment plan and the sub redevelopment plans for one
block 660 and block 815 and 8 803. Who'd like to move it? Move it. Second on that resolution. Mr. Booker. Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weamer. I Mr. Lapaloosa. I R seven.
We'll read the actual blurb. Is authorizing and directing the planning board of the city of BAM to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether certain properties located at 15-23 East 33rd Street and designated as block 140 lots 34, 5.01,
and 5.02 O2 within the city constitutes a non-condation area in need of redevelopment pursuant to the RO local redevelopment and housing law and authorizing the preparation of redevelopment plan for the afforded properties to be included in the
redevelopment plan for block 140 blocks 2 56 57 58 59.01 01 60 61 and 62. Who would like to move it? I'll move it. Second. You have a question?
I know he's going to jump up and say something, but this is exactly the same property that was our for at last month's meeting where you switched it to an area condemnation because I have both ordinances right here. So again, eminent domain for redevelopment purposes in the
state of New Jersey undermines constitutional protections. disproportionately harms the vulnerable communities and often serves private interest more than public interest rather than forcibly taken properties. You should pursue more equitable and participatory
means of renewal. Now, I know someone could say it's not, but this is what that says. It says condemnation. Once again, I don't think it is your job to pick winners and losers. There was a word left out because in the resolution it does say non-
condemnation. That's why I read the actual resolution. Oh, well, it says when you said that before and there's no resolution out there, so the public don't have the full resolution. It's non But I just read it as non- condemnation. Oh, well, I'm reading what I was saying. I I don't tend to I've had sat up there
and had the lawyer tell me that Maris wasn't sold when it was. So, I don't necessarily I like to see things in black and white. It's black and white in front of us and the audio of Miss uh Medina saying non- condemnation means non-condemnation.
Would like to move it. Move it. Second on the resolution. Mr. Booker. Mr. Carol. I appreciate that the typo was pointed out to me. I still have some dissatisfaction with much of what's gone on with this particular item and I vote
no. Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weamer. Mr. Mr. Lapaloosa. I R eight is authorizing a partial refund of non residential development fee on certain property identified as block 416, lot
2.01, 01 which is now known as lot 2.02. Who would like to move it? Move it. Second on the resolution. Mr. Booker. Hi. Mr. Carol. Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Miss Weame. I.
Mr. Lapaloosa. This is a settlement with the tax appeal and I'll vote I. Are we're not awarding the ferry as of yet. Right. I think we need to skip that. Um,
there is a close session for that. No, nobody told me we need to prepare a close session resolution. Oh, session. I can prepare one, but I need a So, uh, we can talk about in close session or I can give you what I think could be disclosed in public session and I think
we might be enough. But you tell me. That's that's fine with me. I was told Maline I apologize that we were having a closed session. I think that's J. I think it's it's public if you want to give that public information. So I I'll give a if this is not sufficient and I'll explain why we thought about a
private se close session as well. So um the city went out for a request for proposals to identify a redeveloper furry operator at the military the peninsula balon harbor. Um we solicited
proposals, we advertised, uh we asked for questions, we answered questions, we did interviews. Um through that process, uh we concluded that New York Waterway, which is the entity identified in this resolution, would be the appropriate
partner for you to negotiate a long-term definitive agreement for the uh peninsula. um we had more than one proposal and because this is just going to conditionally designate them for purposes of negotiations, there's always the possibility that those negotiations
don't go well or you might turn to the next proposer. So for that reason, we keep a lot of the details both about all about the proposals, both the ones that we're recommending and the ones that we aren't for the moment um confidential until such time as we get through a
definitive agreement. So all we're asking from the council tonight is the authority to conditionally designate them exclusively negotiate with them with them for a period of time and in exchange for the right to exclusively negotiate they will fund the escro to
start covering your professional fees. Up until this point you were paying for your lawyers and your planners and any financial consultants whoever we needed to get to this point. Moving forward, if you adopt this resolution, they will fund an escrow and your professional team will start getting paid out of the
escrow. So, the really the sole purpose is for you to give us authority to negotiate with them for a definitive agreement uh which would eventually end up in the wateride improvements. We already have the money set aside and are doing the landside improvements in Bon
and also a long-term operator. So, what's what's great about this is we had more than one proposal, right? So, we went out to the marketplace. We didn't have to do that by the way. You directed us to the mayor and and the council and we did. We got more than one proposal. This uh we believe this is the best one
to negotiate with. Again, we still have a lot to do to get from the here to a definitive agreement which we would present to you and then we'd vote upon. Um but our recommendation is you go with this particular entity based upon the information we've received so far. Again, we'll be back to you with
definitive agreements and we'll let you know how the negotiations are going. But ultimately, we'll come back to the city council for a vote for a vote on a on a long-term agreement. All now, all you're doing now is authorizing us to negotiate and have them pay your bills. Um, but it's also pretty exciting, I think. As
you know, I know we've been talking about this for a long time in Bon. You're on you're knocking on the on the door of finally having a furry service. So, that's pretty awesome. I agree. It's a game changer for sure. Yeah. So, so I'm comfortable without going into close session if you're comfortable with that explanation. Yeah. Okay. So, let's take
Does anybody else on the council have an objection? They need to speak to Mr. Bowman about something else or question. Okay. Okay. So, taking out of order what Mr. Bowman spoke about is add two. It is
a resolution naming a conditional redeveloper for the property located on the former military ocean terminal city of Bayon and authorizing the execution of an interim cost and conditional redevelopment agreement for the development of the ferry terminal. Would like to move it. Can we do it as a
whole? Sure. And on the resolution, Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Hi. Mr. Lapaloosa. Hi. And going back to add one is authorizing the mayor to sign any and all documents for
the submission of the fiscal year 2025 2029 5-year consolidated plan and the 2024 annual action plan with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the anticipated amount of 1,364,19.
Move second on that one. Mr. Booker. Hi. Mr. Carol. Hi. Mr. Pre, Mr. Perez, Miss Weamer, I Mr. Lapaloosa, I and I have one that is not on your agenda. It is an ordinance for introduction. It is amending and supplementing the revised
general ordinances of the city of Bay on chapter 5 13 recreational and other public facilities and a resolution fixing Wednesday, July 16th in at 6 p.m. in the Dart Harrington Council Chambers as a time and place for a public hearing
and final passage. Um, Miss Yes. I just point of information before you leave. Okay. Okay. After this is after this add-on. Would like to move the introduction. Uh can we do this as a whole as well? I just have a question about this because
we visited something like this last year. Last year and there was a family plan that was on there last year that is no longer on here now. And this is for introduction. So we're going to see this next month. And is it And were these fees in increase? I I don't quite think
I'm not quite sure they are. Is it? I think it's the same right that we voted on. Yep. We can't do enough for the veterans. So that's why I asked if we would do this as a whole because I
can't see anybody saying no. But Jackie, you heard that for veterans. It's for veterans. Um they will wave the fee for them to use the pool. So I'd like to do this as a whole. Okay. So on
that resolution, Mr. Booker, Mr. Carol, I Mr. Perez, hi. Miss Wamemer, hi. Mr. Lapalosa, again, we can't do enough for our veterans. I think this is a great idea. And I vote I. Um, Miss Mac, does
anybody have another add-on before we get to It's not an add-on. No, not for you, but Okay, I think I think we're okay. Go ahead, M. Um, thank you, council. I just wanted to point out to you a number of you had concerns about the fact that there were
more than one public meeting this night. Uh, the New Jersey Turnpike Authorities meeting over at Woodro Wilson School and a number of people would have liked to have been there. I um I expressed your concerns to them and um I asked that they send me all of the presentation materials by email prior to this
meeting. They just came in. So, at least you will have the benefit of at least knowing what they presented at 6:30 tonight and I'll get that out to you all overnight. So, I just wanted to let you know I did follow up. A number of you have expressed concerns to them and they know there's going to be more comment.
Thank you. I got a a couple calls um yesterday and today uh about some issues, environmental issues and stuff and they're putting them in writing and then they're going to send me the questions and the answers which I will of course give to my colleague. Yeah, I
I know a number of you have sent independent things, but I just wanted to let you know that I expressed your concerns to them. I feel like there will have to be another meeting at some point, but I did want you to know that at least whatever's been presented over there, you'll have I asked for it prior
to the meeting, but they it just came in and I'll get it out to you overnight. Thank you. Thank you, M. And if there's nothing else, I'll take a motion to adjurnn. Huh? I'll wait. Well, Mr. Perez wants to make a comment. Yes, I want to make a comment and especially
it's for the uh the Bayon Police Department. Everybody's always got a complaint about always something never when they do something right, they don't get a compliment. Very rarely. And like in a situation like today, today we had a
