Melissa Gdeski Rodriguez, 148 Avenue F. Um, again, as I'm still learning and educating myself on this process, this isn't necessarily about the property, right? This has already been adopted. We're going forward with this. Correct. Just keep me honest here. It's not about the property. I don't understand what
you're asking. You're developing there, correct? in some way, shape, or form. Somebody is somebody's developing. Yes. Okay. Do we know the size? What's the size of the building? Do we know? Honestly, I don't want to make you guys go crazy over that. It's not my purpose.
It's a It's a three three floors, three units. Okay. If you're asking me specific feet, I don't know that answer. No, no, I don't need feet. But I just as we go forward in developing anything, three units, 50 units, 1,500 units or 2500 units, I think we need to be a
little bit more mindful in parking. I'm going to tell you that units are being built. Parking is being added to the streets. We're literally putting the lines enabling the residents to not use their paid parking. Okay? So, I'm just respectfully asking as a resident who
does not have parking. I do not have a parking garage. I do not have a driveway. But I am we had a very big discussion at our caucus meeting about that. Okay. Good. And we're undergoing plans right now to put money aside for designated parking spots. It's going to
take a little while. We have to raise some of the money and I'll be quite honest with you. We're brainstorming the best way to do it right now. Can I make a really simple suggestion? I would love to. I would love to. Start enforcing your 24 hours Monday through Friday parking. That shift's going to pay it for itself.
that actually is just coming into effect. We we just I just did a memo for the for the mayor's office that we're going to it's going to start on May 12th and we'll issue one month's worth of uh warning tickets so that everybody gets
up to speed as what's happening. It would be kind of unfair to just walk up on a Tuesday. Starting Monday, I think it's June 16th, tickets will be issued and we're going to have extra peeos on to to enforce the 24-hour parking. It's going to go a long way towards that. You're right. Yeah, I appreciate that.
And then just in thinking of creating lines and to your point, I guess President La Palooa, you're already on that route to just creating a way for us to park because residents, developments, and private homes deserve a place to park that's reasonable, not nine blocks
from their home. We agree. And it's been a problem for I don't know how many years that we're trying to fix. Thank you. Anyone else? Did you want to speak? Yes. Okay. Council President Michael Miselli represent the property owner here. Um,
last month there was a resolution that we were trying to get on that was supposed to make corrections to this ordinance. I just want to make sure that that's that's part of this the ordinance reading. I believe the clerk has that. Good. Great. Thank you. That's it. Anybody else? No protest against objections to
or statements in favor of this ordinance or a or its passage. May I have a motion to close the hearing? Second. And on the motion to close the hearing, Mr. Booker. Hi. Mr. Carroll. Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Missur. Hi. Mr. Lapaloosa. I. And a
resolution ordering the ordinance. It second. And on the amendment, Mr. Booker. Hi. Mr. Carroll. Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Missur. Hi. Mr. Lapaloo. Hi. and a resolution ordering final passage. Move it.
And on that resolution, Mr. Booker, hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weamer. Hi, Mr. Lapalooa. I O2 is a capital ordinance providing for the construction of and improvements to a portion of the Hudson River
Walkway, waterfront walkway in the portion of the city known as the peninsula and appropriating $3,500,000. Therefore, authorized in and by the city of bound in the county of Hudson, New Jersey, which was introduced and passed the first reading at the meeting held should say March
19th, was published in the in the Bergen record and posted on the bulletin board required by law with notice that it would be further considered for final passage following the public hearing at this meeting of April 16th is now before the council for consideration and the public hearing. And a resolution giving the ordinance second reading is moved by
the council president. Mr. Carol, will you second? Second and on that resolution, Mr. Booker. Hi, Mr. Carol. Hi, Mr. Perez. Hi, Miss Weamer. Hi, Mr. Lapalooa. Hi. Second reading is by title, a capital ordinance providing for
the construction of and improvements to a portion of the Hudson River waterfront walkway in a portion of the city known as the peninsula and appropriating $3,500,000 therefore authorized in and by the city of Bayon in the county of Hudson, New Jersey.
The council is now ready to give all persons interested in this ordinance an opportunity to be heard concerning it. Council president will recognize anyone who wishes to speak. Yes. Mike Mike Pigno 42 West 23rd Street. Uh the walkways in Bayon have been just
terrific. Uh you've all been doing a great job with it with the developers and uh the planning board and the city council and the public works people. and this uh waterfront walkway. I'm going to get the full ordinance. I guess tomorrow I get to city hall and see it.
Um would anybody here know the actual area on because I know they got to continue from where LA fitness is on down where that apartment building's been finished and there's not a walkway there. And basically I want to bring up the mention
I talked to Sue Mack and uh Mr. Rickle, Andrew Rickle about it, having a kayak launch on this east side of Bon and with this waterfront walkway being built to keep that in mind so the public can have access to that side. And also with the
new buildings going up there and it, you know, there might be like a city unto itself. There should be more uh water access on that side for kayak launch. I know you're working on getting a ferry in there, too. And because the further out in the tide, the better it is
because we can put in at the LA fitness area, but it is very tidal there. And so there there was an area for kayaks put in several years ago. Um I don't remember how many years ago, but it was quite a while ago. And it was a little
bit past the mud flats, if you know where the mud is in the beginning, right? But so it was a little past that and it was rough. So what you're asking for is something obviously um more permanent and uh more conducive to being used. Yes. almost something like they
did that the city did at 16th Street Park, which was terrific with just the sand and everything and go down and have something that people can pull up, little parking area, drop the kayak off, go away with the car and uh you know, the parking area might be a little difficult because of the location and
this is way down past where the walkway even starts where the mud flats in the beginning, you couldn't really start a kayak from then if the tides out. Well, it with the right with the tides out. No, but like I said, LA Fitness has one there. We can get to it because the wall's not so high and we need something
that the I mean, you have so many people here and Bon being surrounded by water. Sure, we should have more than one and the one on 16th Street is just terrific and everything. We could look into the cost of something like that and see if it's feasible. Again, the location would be probably one of the factors if there
was any that would hold it back. This specifically does not mention anything about that. that's more for pavered walkways and there's going to be some landscaping in there, bike path, benches, trash recepticles, things of that nature. And that eats up
the 3.5 doesn't go as far as we wish it would, but Right. But um we can look into that and see what that would cost down in that area because again, you're looking at a whole different terrain than what's on 16th Street. So, I don't know what that would entail and how much
that would build, but I'm sure we can look into something like that. Yeah, that'd be terrific just to keep it in mind because again there's a huge, you know, you have 20,000 people there and it's great to have that that inlet to be used. Absolutely. Okie dokie. Thank you. Thanks, Mike. Anyone
else? No protest against objections to or statements in favor of this ordinance or passage which has been filed with me. May I have a motion to close? I move. And on the motion to close, Mr. Booker. I Mr. Carol. Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Miss

registration that certain uh individuals will have to apply to the Bayon Fire uh and register with the Bayon Fire Prevention Bureau. And there's also a uh registration fee that will have to be paid as well. So it puts the uh people

Hi. Mr. Perez. Hi. Miss Weame. Hi. Mr. I first speaker is Miss Nadski. Sharon Nadrowski 126 Avenue. Good evening everyone and happy Easter since I only hope to be up here once tonight. Um just want to say um I'm here
again to talk about the impound lot at West Second Street. I did send an email to you all. So, I'm going to read it because some of the neighbors from here from that area are here tonight. In case everyone doesn't know that in August of of 2019, we have passed a resolution the
city council uh to make that a pedestrian mall which was for pedestrian enjoyment, safety, convenience, public seating, parking areas, trees, flower beds, plantings, and kioses. Well, in sometime in 2025, there was no resolution technically for it that um
that was disregarded and we decided to make it a police impoundard which is instead of being all those nice things going to provide soil and water pollution from gasoline, oil, antifreeze metals such as lead, headium and mercuries, air pollutions, dust and
debris and vehicle emissions increase in greenhouse effects from the cars that are being pulled in there and the cars working around the lot. Also, we you just have 03 was about um taking care of lithium batteries. Um there are known fire hazards. Uh electric cars could be
potentially there. They're not in immune from impound. There's fire hazards for us that live in that area. Um especially those who live closer than me. I'm only like I did clock in on my run the other day. I'm only uh less than three ten of a mile from there. Um, so, um, anyway,
and then I'm also here just to say that, you know, last month when I was here, I appreciated the support of a few of the council people up here that were so enraged that they hadn't been made aware of this. And then after doing a little homework on my own, I find out, which
I'm a little insulted at, that on January 22nd of 2025, just two months prior at the council meeting, I'm going to read it for you. There was a resolution that was passed and this is the title that you all had in front of you when you voted on it authorizing the
persistent agent to procure and purchase the installation of fencing around new police impound yard located second street in Avenue A from statewide fencing contractors at 651 South Avenue
Garwood New Jersey in the amount of 37,235. So I don't understand how When I was here last month and a number of people got up and spoke, some who couldn't make it tonight, and you all acted like you didn't know this was
coming. You approved, you approved an a resolution that said this was coming and we were all indignant up there and peacocking and we would never let this happen if we knew it. But you knew it. You approved the money to put the fence there. So, I just don't understand. And
I don't understand if I know we rely on our professionals, your your BA, your lawyer and everything to tell you and explain what's on the agenda. And I get that sometimes they don't. Gary, you're in a pre-agenda meeting where everything's gone over line by line. I know the other council people don't get that, but it literally said exactly what
it was for in the title block that everyone saw. So, I'm a little confused on that. So, and I just like to say um this also block and lot block um 359 lot 2 is the foot of Ingram Avenue.
Lot 4 44 452.01 lot 9 is route 40 440 north on and 22nd Street. Lot 476.01 01 um lot three um is the Atlas Yach
Club and block 1161 lot 2 is 51 Port Terminal Boulevard uh which was used by the BLA that's who it's still um I think we need to update our tax map um in Bayon because the owners are not right or the tax maps isn't according to that
um basically the city of Bayome still owns all of uh MPI and we know that's not true but all these. I just spent 15 minutes to find them. All potential lots because we we said we couldn't find potential lots. Um we also we give a lot of tax breaks and credits to a lot of um
companies. Um UPS has a lot of land. I'm sure that the city asked them if they wouldn't mind giving us a little piece of it. The GUTA does if they would have mined their property um down there that they're not using yet. Maybe they wouldn't give us a piece of it. Um there's a you know um trying to think of
who else. Uh that there's a lot of places the old Ken Ridge lot that are not being used. Did anyone ask all these people that we go out and we appreciate them? We UPS is a great addition, great addition to the city. Um great paying jobs. Um great company to work for, profit sharing, employee owned. Can't
say enough about them. Um but um did we do we even ask anybody or we just inconvenience the same people over and over again? And again, I'm just a little disturbed that I felt like the people who were here last week were misled that you didn't know about it because you
approved something the month before. Thank you, Miss Rodriguez. Melissa Gdeski Rodriguez, 140 Avenue F. So, I want to talk about restrictive parking zones. Okay. So, currently
today, and I and I could be wrong. Um, E code 360 only shows that we offer a $250 fine. So for the person applying for the spot, the hoops they have to jump through a fire with their hands tied behind their back, their ankles tied
with cuffs, blindfolded, hoping that they get all their information right, pay the $10 fee, pay the $40 fee, they do all this, potentially their spot gets approved, potentially because there are people who don't qualify. A car parks in that spot and
it's not towable. But private businesses can have a towway zone on their restrictive parking zones. Currently, I cannot see anywhere on any of our ordinances that show residential restrictive parking for residents residential as a towway zone, meaning
they can be fined and then towed. I would really like the council to consider that as a consequence for those who take advantage of other people's parking spots who need them. We are in a time where people deserve the right to have accessible parking. It is about
equity. Okay? It is not about privilege. I'm not privileged to have a parking spot. I did what I had to do for that spot. I don't speak just for myself, but I speak for anybody who needs a spot like that in front of their house. I wish they didn't. But then to allow a car to sit in it for three days, it
couldn't get towed. Police said they can't tow it. It's not in the law. I can't find it. I could be wrong and please somebody email me in two weeks and tell me I'm wrong. It should be a towway zone. Specifically, what was the the sign? Like what was it? What was the
restriction? It's it's your basic residential sign. I I don't actually have a photo of it, but it says like um restrictive parking um you know, $250 fine and that's it. It does not have towway zone. No towway zone. And Mr. Coffee, you could probably keep me
honest here. It has to be specific. We it does have to be specific and it and it doesn't say that. And I would dare say that if this next phase, this 24-hour um enforcement of the residential um restricted parking areas is not uh
successful. I think the next thing that's going to happen is towways. We talking about handicapped spots, the res residential handicap handicapped spots. So, not not not the public like not like Lowe's or whatever, but the resident who jumped through hoops of fire like an
acrobat deserves to get their specific I was looking for. Yes, they deserve to get that spot back and accessible within a reasonable amount of time. 3 days, even 24 hours, I think is unacceptable. I give it two hours. You better move your vehicle and it should be towed. Those people have a right. Seniors,
disabled, everybody, they deserve a right to have they they worked. They put money into it. They probably took days off of work, right? I I will look into the ordinance and see what it says about towing as far as that's concerned. I can't find I want to answer without having looked at the ordinance, but I
almost can't imagine that it can't be towed within 3 days. I just I think it should be towed within 24 hours. Three days would be across the board. If a car is parked for 40 for 72 hours, it can be towed. I'm It might be a state statute that allows it. I'm I'm looking at the state statute now. Okay. Thank you for
looking into that. Again, it's about equity for our residents who have put the work in for their right to have accessible parking. So, I appreciate your consideration and thank you for hearing me out on that one. Mr. Pagano,
good evening. Retired Sergeant Anthony C. Pagano, 51 Tras Avenue, Bale, New Jersey. I'd like to start by mentioning a date and then I'll get back to that date. April 13th. I want to mention a a situation ongoing, one of the city's favorite topics, balon feral cats. I
want to bring up one particular situation that's going on now. About 10 years ago, the administration of Balon at that time did a tremendous job rescuing the cats down at the AM and moved them down to the Atlas area. They built a beautiful shelter there which
still exists and the young lady from Bonoya from Jersey City goes down there every day to take care of them. Well, what's happening down now at North Street, the AMP, um which I go down every day, twice a day to feed the 12 cats down there.
Now, as you know, there is eventually going to be some construction going on down there, but the other day I was approached by uh one of the employees in that dilapidated garage down there said to me, Tony, you know, we're moving. Something's going to happen with this garage and something's going to happen
with these cats. I want to make you aware of that. I'll tell you why, if I may. Number one, again, the federal cat situation is just it's not worth mentioning too much about it because it's just ignored. But the reason I mentioned a date, April 13th, April
13th, 20 24th, every anybody remember what happened on that date. No, I'll tell you what. Let me remind you is what happened. He's allowed the extinction of 30 feral cats down at the dry dock. He's allowed it. They were murdered. And that's what's going to happen to these cats down at the AMP. You're looking at
me like you I don't know what I'm talking about. No. No. There were cats that were uh terminated. Killed. What? They were terminated. They were killed. It wasn't the city of Bayon that allowed that. That was on private property. That's that's that's If I may, let me argue with that for one second if I may.
You finish and then talk. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead, sir. No, you I want you finish. When you say private property, if somebody murders somebody in a house, that's private property. That's not a crime. Thank you. Those cats were murdered on private property and the
city allowed it and Port authority allowed it to happen. Drop the subject. They're dead. They're gone. Alls I'm saying is that that situation may may is going to happen again down at North Street with the AMP. They're the only 12 cats down there that I feed every day,
twice a day. It's not like other colonies in Bale, which there's a tremendous amount more. But I just want to make you aware that I was told by an employee down there that which everybody knows that that that big area is going to get redeveloped. Thank God. But that
garage that's owned by the trucking I don't even know what trucking company is down there, but there's a trucking company down there. The garage is dilapidated, that's coming down because they're moving. The trucking company's moving. I asked him what date. He said, "I can't tell you, Tony, but it's going
to be soon." So when and if they knock that down, the 12 cats down there, who knows what's going to happen. The only thing I'm trying to prevent is if the supposedly owner of dry dock is the one that allowed these cats to
get murdered, extincted, whatever you want to call it. I'm just trying to avoid the owner of the property with the garage down there for the same thing to happen and make use aware that well I know you aware that the cats are there but if anything could be done because
again the administration 10 years ago did a great job that shelter area down at the um uh Atlas Yach Club is beautiful. I mean it's they got houses. They live better than some of these people in Bayon. I got news for
you. But anyway, and I asked if they could be moved to that area. But the young lady who is um taking care, I'll use that word, of the cats down there, who comes all the way from Journal Square every day to take care of the cats down there, she's a wonderful lady,
said to me in the past, Tony, I'm paying too much money to feed them, medicate them, and everything else, and I can't have anything more. Which that's a totally another story. me and my bride there twice a day, every day of the
week, we feed these cats down there. We're paying it. We were feeding the 30 cats down there. The only good thing about that would happen down there. It was costing us without and there were other parties involved. It
was costing us at that time $700 a month to feed the 30 cats. Now, it's only costing us about $250 a month to feed the cats down there. Thank you for your time. Thank you.
Yeah, just one thing that I wanted to mention. When it be when we became aware of there were cats being sheltered down in the at the base down by the dry dock, the people who contacted me and they contacted others in the city were told
that that's private property that they shouldn't be having the traps and all that there. And it happened more than once. So, I'm not sure when the euthanization happened or whatever. I'm saying I'm saying I'm not sure whether it was after the first, the second. I
don't really know. April 13th, but um this council um it's the federal cats are really really near to our hearts and we try to do everything that we can. We start, you know, the program and everything else. We try to dedicate money to it and um there's been a lot of bumps in the road. I'm not going to lie.
But it's not something we want to that I want to do away with. I can't speak for the rest of my colleagues, but I think we're all in agreement since we went ahead with the program that we want to see something done positively for these animals. So, with that, I can discuss that a little further down the road with
