Mayor Lambert? Yes. Under general discussion, we have a proposed ordinance 15C outdoor dining. We did have um a state law go into effect. It was signed into law by the governor. Uh some areas of that state or uh state law conflicts
with our current ordinance. Um we did draft a draft um trying to mesh those two together. Can we um unmute Bruce? I'm sure council's going to have questions for him. our solicitors on the on the call as well.
Okay. And when does this ordinance go into effect or would it I'm having trouble hearing. There you go. Can you hear us now? Trouble hearing through my AirPods. So, um I just texted Sherry. I apologize.
Can you hear us now? barely. Um, should have been here. Oh, no, no, no. So, I've been trying since the meeting started. Having trouble hearing. Hello.
Hello. I can hear you now though. That's better. Thanks. Okay. Okay. Any member of council have questions for Bruce about this draft ordinance? I had one earlier that I spoke to him about with regarding parking. That's always a huge concern in this
town and he shared with me um about the 75% and 25%. So that's my question too. Yeah. Well, what what what did he say? that that is applicable. Can you explain that to us, Bruce? Let's
have him explain that to us since we have 75% or So, if a business has if a business has more than eight required parking spots, they're allowed to use 25% for outdoor dining. No matter if, let's say, we're
required them I think it's one parking spot every 600 square feet. Let's say their lot requires them to have 25 parking spots. They can use 25% of that space for outdoor dining. They can use up to 75%.
[Music] Oh, right. So, if they have eight parking spaces, they could essentially use six of the eight. Is that correct? Has to be over eight. So, six of nine or seven of nine. Does that sound like the right
calculation, Bruce? Bruce, did you hear that? Oh, great. Well, try that one more time. I have additional language there. I've been thinking since I spoke with the mayor on the phone this morning, um that notwithstanding the language in the statute, you have to comply with all
other portions of the zoning code. um that somewhat conflicts with the language of the statute, but that is an option if council wants that maybe you could try and add that in. Um if I didn't understand too far into the details of
it, you know, during public session, but that could be something that we want to add in that would be consistent with our burough code. We just deviate slightly from the statuto. Well, I'm not sure what he just said. No. So, one of the one of the main ways
that our current outdoor dining ordinance conflicts with this is that we do not allow any outdoor dining permitted in required parking spaces. So, can we still do that? That's the question we're asking you.
So, I I don't think that that would withstand any scrutiny of challenge because that is directly contradictory to the statute. But if there's some landings for an approval process that a restaurant went through, um we might be able to enforce
that. But a blanket um ban on use of parking spaces probably would not withhold initial. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. I mean, if you have a stadium and you offer parking that's saying that you can say 75% now of your parking is now outdoor dining and only 25% available actual
parking for parking spaces. That makes absolutely this doesn't make makes absolutely no sense. Especially here we have gone round and round and round about the need for parking. Especially we're the most densely populated state in the United States. How many how many
establishments would this um would benefit from that? How many of our restaurants have more than eight parking spaces? I'd have to look. Not many. Right. No, two. Two. So when it's
talking about permitted occupancy, Yeah. Oh, hands on. Bruce, is the total permitted occupancy then split between the outside and the inside? Yes, I did include that in the ordinance. Okay. It's not 100% clear, so we should probably work on that a little
bit more. So, occupancy is what it is. They can't exceed their permitted occupancy, but they can split it. But they're still taking up valuable parking places. Yeah, that's the kicker. That is under if you look at the draft
ordinance it's under section 137-4 standards for permits paragraph T of Thomas. The total amount of seats available to patrons shall not exceed permitted occupancy at the establishment. Right. Can we change V to prohibit
outdoor music in the outdoor dining areas? There's a section of the statute that talks about outdoor music being allowed to the same extent as anywhere else, but we can I can make it more restrictive if you would like it more restrictive or
clarify that section a little bit more. Well, I or only allow it till to a certain time. I mean, isn't that what happened with Tuckers? How did that go down, Jamie? Remember there was outdoor we didn't allow outdoor music and then we did allow
outdoor. Yeah. The resolution contradicted itself. So in one part it did in one part it didn't. So it came back and then it it was allowed for just outdoor speakers but not live music. Okay. So it sounds like we have some
wiggle room and Bruce and I can work on this. Okay. Did you have anything else, Mike? Yes. Um you're allowed to put these tables outside. I mean, they're talking about parking lots. I'm just talking about the sidewalks right out front. Now, what's
going to be the restrictions on them? 5 foot walkway, is it? Sort of what we did before. Well, what about the umbrellas and stuff that they have at the tables? And of course, your chairs are going to be moving in and out as long as the
umbrella and the chairs aren't encroaching on the W the pedestrian wack area. All right. The next question I have is the alcohol establishments. Um, if you're going to be able to serve alcohol out in these these areas,
um, when does that stop? Because, you know, as well as I do, when people are sitting there drinking, the more they drink, the louder they get. And once they're out there, we're going to have noise complaints like crazy with this. Are they allowed to have a bar outside,
Bruce? I think right Mike that's what are they is would an establishment be allowed to set up a bar outside or would they simply be able to serve alcohol to you know table service a server serving the drink
because you're not even the expansion they would still have to comply with all our ABC laws our quality of life laws noise disorder all that u all those requirements But would they be able to have a bar? Would they be able to have a bar? Like
construct a bar? Yeah. Like to walk up to a bar instead of having it served to you at a table. A bar in the parking lot like Key West. The statute doesn't speak to that. All it talks about is expanding
the licensed area of the premises. No different than any other premises permit. If it's the intent of it was was to codify what was permitted by executive order during co that was the intent of
it. Yes. So if it's a licensed area if it's a licensed they can put a border. They possibly could but if they're constructing something then that might invoke other issues construction permits things of that nature. But then they would have to comply with running water
in the sink and ice under the condiments and stuff like that for the health department to and number of seats. So there's a lot of different ways to restrict that type of expansion. But can we somehow or another make them
pull that inside after 10:00 because it's going to get noisy. What did he say? Sure. Could we have them pull uh this stuff inside an alcohol establishment after a certain time? Or actually all of them.
The statute seems to have they're allowed to have them during their normal hours of business. I think that's how it's written, right? Yeah. Well, does that mean bar business or restaurant business?
No, it applies to both. So, a bar could be open till 2 a.m. outside. That's the same. No, you could limit it after a certain time. All right. Well, then um During weekdays, you could limit it
at 12 a.m. No. How about 10? It says Thursdays through Saturdays of municipal or women swim. So we need to nail that down too. Yeah, that's Yeah, for the weekends it's the same that applies to every other
establishment. Um and on 137-2 B1 a site plan sketch picture or or
drawing depicting the proposed design dimensional boundaries. So all of the do do they have to have barriers if they're in a parking lot? What's this? What's the ruling on that? like a so someone can't
plow into them. Definitely think we should add that. Yeah. You agree? I do think that that's in here somewhere, but we could add it there as well. Okay, good. You absolutely have the right to
institute all those public safety issues. A lot of this in terms of what was contained in the permit came right from the statute, but that's the language they used, especially what Kitty was just talking about. And and Bruce, in your opinion, is an indemnification agreement with the
burrow enough. I mean, you know, if something, god forbid, an accident happens, I mean, we can have the as many agreements as we can get signed, but is it going to hold up in court or? Yeah, 100% you should require that. Um,
well, right. in there too and also a certificate of insurance named the burrow as an additional employment. Yeah, but that doesn't mean we're not going to lose our shirts in a lawsuit. That's the extent of it. Yeah. I know. Um my only question is I think
it it might answer um Mr. McAffy's question is um with the bar part. It's this isn't for like a nightclub being outside. This is table service, right? Yes. That's This is not This is not like people gathering around the bar outside.
This is you have seats outside and there's people getting served drinks, not standing at a bar. Well, that's what we're trying to Well, that's But I mean, if you put them outside and say alleyways or in the parking lot, it's going to create noise. Well, Tuckers, for instance, did this during the CO
stuff and they they were they were able to, you know, by permit get a build that temporary bar out there and they had seats at it, but you couldn't just stand around out in the parking lot and drink. But, but you're still have a gathering
of people. Yeah. That by 10:00. But what if it's not in a parking lot? Can you on the side of your you know were you able to get permitted um by the ABC that has to be an extension of the premise. So were you able to uh make
them go inside at 10 o'clock? I don't I that's something you'd have to get Bruce to clarify, but I don't see why not. All right. And they're they're going to fall fall under all of our noise ordinances, too. If it's loud there and
we go and you know it's excessively loud, you can hear it from a certain distance away, we're going to issue noise noise violations and then that's going to be a liquor license violation. So I I think as long as we're as long as we're sure, you know, we make make it
clear to the liquor license establishment, you know, how it's going to be handled, it, you know, hopefully it won't become a problem. And I think there should be a time limit to all outside dining as well. 10 o'clock. We have a lot to look at
apparently. So, thank you, Chief. All right. Keep working on this. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Bruce. Yeah. Thank you. That's okay. Thanks. Okay, we're to public comment. So, is there anybody in the audience who would like to come up? Please hold it to three minutes and be
sure to ID yourself. [Music] Um, I'm Howie Breer. I live at 3259 Street. I have stores on Spooners Warf and I manage the warf. I just want the only reason I'm here tonight is I want to make sure that everybody in the council is aware of the problems we had
on the warf this weekend. We had to shut down on Sunday night at 8:00 because we were overrun with kids stealing stuff out of the stores. uh they were going into like the candy store and just pulling candy into their pockets and walking out. They were in some of the other stores and knocking stuff off the
shelves. My big complaint is we have yet this year to have any police presence on the warf. No one comes through there. The uh there's no one on bicycles. There's no one walking. There's there's nobody. Today for the first time this
afternoon, two officers actually walk through. But I've been there every weekend for weeks. I was there all weekend. There wasn't a single cop. And uh somehow or another, we need the council to direct the police. Chief is here talking about it. Good. Um but
anyhow, it's a major problem and uh I would like to see the the police department directed protecting property and that. The alternative is that we're going to have to ban all kids off the warf. We haven't quite figured out how to do that yet because we have so many entrances. But it's not only us. It's
Bay Village. I, you know, talked to the Mascals. We've got we have a major problem on our hands. By the way, it's now it's very different from last year. It's boys, 13 to 15 years old, and and girls also are the same age. A good many of
them are drunk. Apparently, they're getting beer from uh the brewery. Not that they're not buying it, but somebody is clearly buying it and giving it to it. And and we can find we know that because we're finding the beer cans in the the restrooms. We're finding the beer empty beer cans in our parking garage. So, in case you weren't aware of
it, you're aware now. And uh I didn't we didn't want to bring all 20 shop owners here tonight, but we did want to make sure everybody was aware of it. I think some of you were actually called uh on Monday. And if you have any problems, just give me a call. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry.
So, I mean, we're all aware of the uh underage drinking and and uh stuff like that laws that we've talked about for years now. Uh as with uh you know, Screeners Warfar, Bay Village, 7-Eleven, uh Fantasy Island, all of
those properties are private property. We will go into those areas when we can, but they are private property. They need to have their own security. we, you know, we'll go in there as we can. And um the beginning of the summer, Memorial
Day weekend, is always the worst weekend for us of the season because of uh excuse me, because of the fact that um we're only at a third, maybe half of our staff because the rest of them are still in the academy. But um you know, 7-Eleven's having the same issue with
shoplifterss and everything else. They've been told that they need to get security. Uh, Skooners Wararf had security for years. Uh, Fancy Island has security. A lot the private property areas. Uh, I know, um, Bay Fillage, they
have a security person there. The these properties that are that big have to have security. We we can't we can't put a police officer on Scr for the whole night. I mean, the taxpayers can't pay police officers to
stand and and guard private property on that one. Um, and Skinner's Worth is a giant piece of property with a lot of stairs and entrances. Uh, it would take a lot of our manpower to be there all night um, dealing with that. And you
know, like I said, we we know the issues that we're having with the alcohol and uh we've asked the governor about it and the mayors of all the towns have uh tried to address that and you know, nothing's being done about it. So yeah, this isn't a new problem. I mean, we h
we have we have been encouraging private businesses unfortunately to get security. This is the day that we live in. It's not just Beach Haven. It's all of the coastal towns and unfortunately we do not have the manpower to to police
every single private residence. So my recommendation, you know, unfortunately is that you might have to seek out security, especially in that large area. It's it's horrible and sad to say, but that's that's where we are right now.
And we will try our best, of course, to to protect and serve all the private residences, but we just can't be everywhere at one time. This is the situation that we're in. Until a governor or the attorney general does something about it, there's not a lot we could do because these kids know
that the police can't do anything and they just go hard wild because they know nothing's going to happen to them. I did see where the governor vetoed the bill that was hopefully going to give a little relief and now he said he might sign it, but unfortunately I think if he does it's still going to be too late for
this summer. Um, every town, everybody read the news, saw it. Um, every town, every shore community had the same problem to different degrees. And I'm sorry that it's happening here, but like I said, it's been happening for a while and we're short staffed again and the
laws handcuff us, which is kind of a a lame excuse, it sounds like, but it's the truth. Also, it's such another burden on the business owners because who's going to have to pay for the security? I know at Bay Village the business owners have to pay for the security and then you will have it's just another burden and
it's so unfortunate. I'm so sorry. Yeah. It's just a terrible state of affairs. Clear that you know police department is not in any way saying that you know the council is not supporting us. You've given us the funds to hire more officers more summer officers. We hired everybody
that applied. We've gone to colleges to recruit. We've, you know, put out flyers to places. We've gone to job fairs. We have hired all of the people that applied and we're still about a third short of what we are budgeted for. So if
you know anybody has an idea of how to get people's interested in becoming uh you know a police officer or a summer officer, send them to us because uh all the short towns are having the same problem. Is it a matter of salary? Do you think that would matter? Again, we
always talk about that. I'm going to ask because that's what we're going to hear. More than we've ever paid before. um we're paying the same as all of the other island towns are paying and uh you know it's just it's there's no interest rate right now. You know I know I've told all of you this but when I started
we had you know uh Mr. McCaffrey I think it was maybe 20 summer officers we had and we had 100 100 plus people apply. Now we have a budget for 30 30 plus summer officers and we had 11 apply. Oh
my gosh. So, we're uh you know, we and we brought back 10 from last year. It's like a safety issue. It's terrible. Yeah, we have uh we have 10. We have about 10 right now. There's another 11 coming out of the 10 or 11 coming out of the academy. I believe one of them
already decided not to continue. So, uh you know, where we should have 30 plus, we're we're going to be at 20 when they come out when they get done their training. So, it's not a matter of money. And honestly, the people who apply don't even ask how much they're making because it's they want to do the
job. It's it's not a matter of money. I don't I don't think Thank you. It's a tough tough situation. Hello, I'm Steve Steiner. I live at uh 521 Amber Street. Uh, I wanted to thank
the council for being so uh, steadfast in this uh, and in in getting the liquor license approval for the theater. I think it's going to be a a a very large help to us. Uh, and especially thanking
Sher for being so tenacious with this. Uh and uh I understand that the um uh that your solicitor was uh helpful in trying to shake loose uh something from ABC and Trenton. They were very very quiet for a very long time. I actually
uh finally uh approached someone uh the executive director of the New Jersey Theater Alliance uh who then had a meeting the following week with the governor. And I know we're at a little at odds with the governor over this uh
this uh policing issue, but he was the one that finally woke up ABC the governor called and all of a sudden Sherry's uh saying, "Oh, something happened. Look at that." And then they sat on it for another 3 weeks and finally got around to it. So, I want to thank you all very much. It's been
nearly a year since the application uh was made. Uh and we really appreciate it. I think it's going to help support the work of the theater and I think it's going to be a pretty safe environment. I don't think we're going to have much trouble. I know that we're allowed to
sell after shows, but we're not going to for that very purpose. Uh because we don't want to sell somebody a drink right before they get in their car. Uh so we're just going to sell for an hour before and at intermission. And we thank you all very very much. We really
appreciate Good luck. Yeah. Happy for you. [Music] Sue Sharky, 10 North Delaware Avenue. Um, thank you again for serving for all of us. I'm um very sorry to hear about
the problems that the mob teens created, but I'm not surprised. Um, it seemed like there were more of them around than ever, and I feel like it maybe is indicative of summer. So, we need to put up our best defenses. Um, on the flip
side of of that, Memorial Day around here was just fabulous. I just want to thank um the council and the town for putting on continuing to put on uh the parade and the solemn ceremony at Veterans Park. I just think that's an
awesome thing. I think it was great to see people around. Um, I was on the tennis courts that was alive and well. There was a wait. the attendant Annie was managing everybody and just a true ambassador to the sport. Um, I'm always looking at recreation and I don't think
I don't think it can solve the problem, but I also think maybe not for those mobs that are the the thieves in the shops, but maybe for the good teens, we really need to focus on the recreation
stuff that we offer. Programming, not just that we build a basketball court. We need some programming and I I hope we're still as committed to that that I felt we were 18 months ago. Um, and Jamie, I want to especially thank you. I don't really know about this outdoor
dining. I'm I'm way behind the eight-ball, but the math does not make any sense to me that we are going to only we talk about we have a parking problem, right? We've got places with
big restaurants and big parking lots. Why would they keep them even even though it doesn't change the full occupancy or the for full number of chairs for service? I just it seems like that would be going backwards and that
75% lose parking to just I so thank you for being our watchdog and I love I really do love your attention to detail because sometimes I'm sure everything you read all day long and everything that comes at you it might kind of be
likew but thank thank you thank you thank you anybody else on Zoom No. Seeing none, we'll close the floor to public comment and go to final remarks. Uh Mr. McAffrey, you want to kick it off?
Sure. I'd like to uh thank everybody that participated in the Memorial Day service. It was a very good service. Apparently, there was some misunderstanding with the parking and uh the buses happened to block the field where uh the participants were going to
park and I understand that the fire department didn't get there and uh they had to walk with their people and a lot of the people did leave because there was no parking. But in the future, we will have that
park open for parking. I'm just deeply sorry that some of the people couldn't stay there and watch the ceremony because it it was a touching ceremony. So all other events from my understanding is that events like this
there will be parking on the on the field. Thank you Mr. Snider. Um yeah just follow up on that. It was not me who said that. Everybody blamed me but it wasn't me. I specifically said park.
We decided on Friday, of course, to continue the parking there for all of the first responders and the veterans and and then of course everybody was like, "Oh, it had to be Kitty." Well, it wasn't me. It wasn't me. It was a misunderstanding. I think who knows? We could have had a resident who's I I we
don't know. It wasn't Cap. It wasn't um it wasn't any of us. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. Um Cap did a great job. I thank them. It's good to see Rob Meyer out and about and I want to thank especially all our our first
responders and especially our police department for a a unfortunately you had a terrible situation at schooners, but um they worked really hard and did the best they could and we had a a relatively safe weekend and it was a very uh well
attended weekend down here in Beach Haven. So, thank you for taking care of us. Thank you, Mrs. Anderson, I'm the quiet one. I don't have much to say. Um, we we're looking forward to some
some special activities as we kick off summer. Artw walk will either be held Saturday or Sunday in Beach Haven, weather pending, and we have the Corvette show coming up. And then the calendar really gets filled with uh, you know, farmers markets and craft fairs
and activities. So, watch Let your friends and family know we're looking for u security officers in town. Yeah. Keep your kids safe and talk to them about alcohol and behaving themselves not only in our town but um
in their life. Signing out. Thank you. Thank you for um echo what everyone else said. It was a beautiful weekend. There was a lot of people here enjoying themselves. However, we do like Miss Shy said, we have to put up our best defenses. And one of the things that we
do offer, which in the past few two few years that I've been a part of, it really hasn't been a lot of people attending, but we do have a neighborhood watch program. And what this does, it's a really good opportunity when the officers are coming in on their night
shift to get to know them, tell them different problems. Again, there's only 20 or so of our summer officers. And the more you are they're aware of their surroundings and your surroundings, they can be where they need to be. Oh, you know, we're having a problem on this
corner. We're having a problem on this corner. They will try during the night to get to those areas and try to diffuse the situations. And this year, Chief, Tuesdays, 6 to 6:30, Tuesdays, uh, starting at 6 PM starting next week.
It's already started. Okay. So, anytime you want to come and chat with the officers at Tuesday at 6 p.m. We encourage everybody to attend 6:00 to 6:30. Let me just make sure it's already started. It's usually just uh I'm sure it's
started already. Okay. We'll have somebody here next Tuesday. I will not be here for a few more two more Tuesdays. Three more Tuesdays. I usually you and I take turns and I I also won't be here. I have to that day.
So maybe will you go my Okay, perfect. So Mr. Mr. McCaffrey will be there. Perfect. Okay. Well, everybody's pretty much covered everything. I did want to thank everybody uh especially the community arts program. Um and I want to thank our public works department who worked diligently to get everything set
up and Mary Cla Bunts who did all the organizing and getting the participants. You know, we know there was a mistaken uh edict that went out that no parking. I heard it was the mayor that gave it and that really shocked me because that certainly wasn't the case. But as Mr.
McAffrey indicated, it will be available in the future. Um tonight is the Beach Haven Music and Art Festival and we've all been invited. So on that note, if anybody else wants to join it, please do. But I think we some of us like to get down there. So thank you very much. Is there a motion to adjurnn? I will
make a motion to adjurnn. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thanks for coming. Thank you. Thank you everyone at the elementary school.
