dumpster permits. Please visit the bureau's website for more information. Also, um I got a reminder from the DPW. Fall season is approaching, which means falling leaves. Please use leaf bags. No plastic bags, no barrels. They have to
be leaf bags for the DPW to collect. Um, just on that, they also if they do not want to use bags, they want to use barrels, they can bring them to the DPW and anytime during the week, Monday to Friday and Saturday to it's 12 till 12:00 to 12.
So there's more opportunity. It's not just leaves, it's brush. Whatever you got to clean up your yard, you can bring it there. Mhm. And leaves and brush. Uh if you are putting out like sticks and things like that, there are very clear requirements that are listed on our recycle calendar
that you can look again on the burough's website. Um let's see. Uh the board of health will be passing the ordinance um this coming Monday. Um that is for
um I'm sorry that is going to be for the um the last ordinance we just did. What did we do? Um is that for the the paraphernalia?
Sorry. I know of us are having a hard time. What? It's on the website. Yeah, it's on the website. Uh if you need that as well. I'm sorry everybody. Um, also again, as I've mentioned a million times, Rave, our emergency notification system, uh, you can sign up
anytime by going to the Burough's website, bottom right hand uh, page on the homepage and sign up for emergency notifications. It does allow you now to um, there are some options in there. If you want um, option for public events,
if you want an option for the senior center, uh, all those options are there. So, if you have already signed up and you want to log back in and sign up for the other options, you can. Uh, the only thing that you cannot opt out of is emergency notifications. Um, also, if
you have any interest in going to the bureau's website, you know, I'm trying my best to put out information, please use the bureau's website to note um to contact employees and departments. All of the numbers on there are correct. Do
not Google numbers, you know, don't go other places for numbers. Everything that's on the burough's website is correct. So, please use that as much as you can. That's it. Okay. Nothing for tonight, Dave. So, the board of education has partnered
with the New Jersey School Board Association to host three community input sessions regarding their new superintendent search. I attended the one last Friday. The following two are this Wednesday at 7 PM at Walter T
as well as this Friday 7 PM at Walter T. And if you're unable to attend in person, there is a survey available online at bpsnj.com. Okay, Dominic. Uh I think it's just worth commenting the planning board had a meeting last
week where we're going to hear two things that come out of it. Uh the one will be a uh a soil permit in order to move soil in a large quantity. If you have any questions about that uh for a resident uh looking to grade and level
their lot, please ask me. It'll be on our agenda probably upcoming either at the end of this month or the start of the next uh once the planning board finishes its recommendation. The second is item D tonight. You'll see uh we're going to be seeking to table and that's to give the planning board a little more
time to formally review the wall ordinance. Um some wanted a little more input on what's in there. I think it's worth uh if you guys get a chance evaluating the neighboring wall ordinances, we haven't had one in place and with more work happening all over
town. Um, I think deferring to our engineer and deferring to the standard practices will be good. Ensure we have a good construction, but just keep your eye out for that stuff coming from the planning board towards us. If you have questions, ask. Just uh to piggy back off of that, the
planning board has 45 days from the time they receive it. So, they'll be within their 45 days when they make their recommendations to us. So, we have time when we're tableing so they can really understand and digest it. Okay. Mike, nothing there.
Amy, anything? Nothing this evening, ma'am. Okay. Um, just to piggy back off off what um Evie said regarding um Bill Dunlap. Bill Dunlap, 25-y year member of the first aid squad and his his wife Gail. Um, also he is was the assistant
chief in Butler Fire Department and he had over four I think over 40 years there. So their family um put a lot of time into giving back to um as a first responder. Um the Bill's passing and the build the fire department did and the
tribe of our first aid squad did an excellent job uh gave him the proper um what he was due as an assistant chief and and a first day member. So we our condolences to the Dunlap family and thank both um thank um Bill for his
service. And behind that is um for over a 40-year veteran of the fire department, J. James Degra, who passed away um a week or so ago um last Thursday was his um his um wake up at
the funeral parlor and um he was and I didn't know this about Jim. I started looking into his paperwork cuz I'm working with his sister and brother over at this house. Um Jim was appointed to the council for a day by Mayor Dan uh Danny Morris. That's how far back goes.
Uh Jim um lived in this town pretty much his whole life. Um like I said, over 40 years in the fire department, but anytime we asked Jim to do anything, whether it was town related, he would always um be there for us. Um he was a big instrument instrumental in the 5K. anytime I needed stuff from there. Jim
was my paperwork guy in dealing with the timing company and he put a time in that until um 3 weeks before he passed away. So our condolences to the Degrath family also. It was a great loss. Both of them are a great loss to to both communities and
and u and Bloomingville. Um that's pretty much all I have. John, can I just sorry for those people and I really apologize for this for the board of health. It's regulation of electronic smoke devices and psychoactive products. And I again I
apologize. Okay. Feel like I'm getting old or something. That was bad. Believe me, it happened. I know. My gosh. Um so, okay. All right. Um um resolution number 20259.1,
the consent agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? So move. Second. Okay. Roll call, please, unless there's any questions. Broners, yes. Catalano, yes. Graziano, yes.
Hudson, yes. Schubber, yes. Yazy, yes. Okay. Item 10, pending items. Um, item A, 2020, municipal budget adoption. Public notice statement, please.
Mayor, this is the time for the public hearing on the municipal budget amendment for 2025. The amendment was advertised as required on August 26, 2025 together with notice of hearing for this time. Printed copies have made available to the public. Supply is here for anyone desiring a copy.
Okay. All right. Um, first of all, anyone who has not secured a copy of the budget amendment um, may now do so. I think we have them printed. Okay. I can certainly run upstairs and print them if we'd like. Well, if anybody likes them, I can we
can we can get them printed for you. Um, before we open this hearing, I wish to outline the procedure. Each person desiring to be heard will rise and give his or her name and address before speaking. I will recognize one speaker at a time in order of the rising of of the rising in nearly as I as nearly as I
can determine. We'll try to address all questions to to the address all the questions to the chair when necessary. They will be referred to the individual members of the burough council municipal officers or our adviserss. Questions must be confined solely to the municipal
budget amendment before us. School or county matters are not proper subjects for this hearing cannot be discussed or answered here tonight. I now declare the public hearing on the municipal budget amendment for 2025. Do I have a motion to open up public
hearing for the municipal budget amendment? So move second. All in favor? I Okay. Anyone wishing to speak, please come up on the amendment. Huntley, 86 Vanam Avenue. Um,
looking at the amendment and also comparing it to last year's budget, uh, the health benefits waiver for last year was 76,184. Now you've reduced it to 48,000. like can you add that?
Well, the only time just right now. [Music] Yeah, she went through what we have and she said we can cut 2,000 now that we're 3/4 of the way through the year. Uh we will not be near that 60, whatever the number you had. So, we had 50 in the budget. She reduced to 48 saving us 2
grand. And even though the previous year was 76,000. Yep. Guess we'll see what happens. uh for the contingency. Last year you spent 53 326 now you're reducing it to 30. Correct. She doesn't feel we need the
contingency at this point. So we can take it out of there before. Okay. Uh social security I guess was also inflated before where it was 510 now it's down to 500. That's 500 because again 3/4ers of the way through the year we know where we're
going to be. Okay. Storm man water management. Last year we paid 12,625. This year you're you're budgeting zero. Correct. We have 50,000 in the bonds from last year we put into storm water. So that should cover it up.
Uh the interlocal payment county board of health. I guess that was forgotten in the budget this year. That's what we forgot to put in was 88,000. That's what the other things add up to 885. That's the offset. So we added 885 in. We took 885 out with those eight line items that you're reading through. Now, last year we paid aquin
117,000. Correct. That's why we switched to the we switched to the board of health with the county. It saved us $25,000 this year by doing a shared service with the county as opposed to and that's for the same services and actually more same everything.
And then with our contract with them, they can go a maximum of 2%. The Puquanic they were able to raise their what they what they felt they needed. So, we got in a contract with the county and they're at the 2% for the remainder of the contract. 15 years. 15 years.
2%. 15% 15 years. 15 year contract. 2% is the max they can go. Yeah. And the capital improvement fund last year was 85,000. Now you got down to 20. Yep. We were at 35 and she dropped 15 off.
But it was 85 last year. It was 85. And the proposed leases, I guess we're not getting two police cards, just one. Uh, whatever we can get for that 35,000. Again, it's a one-year payment, so if
it's, let's call it, $12,000 each car, we could get two. Okay. Anyone else? Seeing no one a motion to close. Sorry. All in favor? I. Okay. Final adoption of resolution
number 2029.6 2025 budget budget amendment. Not yet. Um yeah, I need a motion for that. So move second. Do we need to roll call that?
Yeah. Okay. Roll call, please. Catalano. Yes. Graciano. Yes. Hudson. Yes. Schubert. Yes. Yazdy, yes. Ron Chris, no. Okay, you got to do your spot.

Okay. 7:43. Okay. Thank you. I know. Thank you for coming down. I know you got a personal thing going on. Don't worry about it. Thank you. I appreciate it. Okay. Ordinance number 22-2025 amending chapter 7-13.1 time limited parking. Public notice
date, please. Yes, Mr. Mayor. This ordinance was posted in the municipal building, published in the Herald News, and copies were made available to the public so that a motion may be made that it be read by title. Do have a motion to read by title. So move. Second. All in favor? I.
Okay. Um, do I have a motion? Oh, go read by title. I'm getting ahead. An ordinance the bur of loomingale and the county of p and city state of New Jersey amending chapter 7 traffic section 7-13 parking time limited on certain streets of the code of the bur of loomingale.
Do I have a motion to open up public hear? Second. All in favor? I I 86 Van Dan um on the one for 78 Main Street. Why is that being limited to only 20 minutes?
Okay. With the 78 I think that's the IGA. I think 70. No, that's the um the um car store car. Oh, yeah. Over there. that pet. Uh, I can this that's kind of easy. The guy who runs the um makes the prosthetics but for the
animals. Okay. He wanted private parking in the front just for his businesses. He wanted us to say these spots are for him only. Well, it's public parking. You can't do that. So to work with him and other people there, we limit it to 20
minutes. So if somebody comes in, there's more time for pe other people to use those parking spots. Um and that's all in front of the IGA, too. Okay. So I talked to traffic today regarding that. Um
we've had people park over there according to them because there's a bus station there at the IGA. So people were coming and parking all day long and staying there till they came home from work or wherever they were going to, which was giving not
letting other people use those spots to to go to the business or whatever they want to do down there. The 20-minute parking is what traffic felt was fair, but I can tell you if somebody's down there, as Eevee said again, their nails done. Okay, I talked
to him. They're not going to be bothered. We're just trying to deter people from parking there all day long until they come home. Um, we tried to work with the the business on the the the animal the uh dog animal guy there.
All right. But the best we can do for him is put 20-minute parking out there so his customers can come do whatever they have to do and go. Wayne Betting, same thing. But if somebody's there for an hour, nobody's going to be it's nothing's going to happen. We're not going to be sitting there, as he said,
chalking tires and doing all that stuff. We just want to deter people from parking there from 7:00 in the morning when they pick up the bus and coming home whatever time. But isn't that already taken care of when you have a 2-hour parking? Um 2-hour parking is only in certain areas.
Says what Main Street from border to Main Street border las we used to have that's that's two hour, right? But we used to have 20-minute parking in front of the post office. post office only, right? We had that up there because people running out of post office, but that is no longer in effect because we
have business across the street that people go and frequent and they're going to be there more than 20 minutes. So, we're just don't we're just we're not going to be the way it was explained to me. We put the 20 minutes parking down there to help out those business so people can come and go. The the liquor store, the IG,
the ice cream place. But if you're going to go down there and and have an ice cream and sit there with your family and have an ice cream for an hour, nobody's going to say anything. We had to do something to help out the businesses. You know, this is what traffic came up with. I think it's terrible. I don't
you've already got two hour limit from a lot of these people. And if you go into IG and if you're standing in the chairs outside, well, what what is the purpose of limiting the parking if you're going to add chairs outside? As I just said when we worked with traffic, we're not going to give anybody a hard time for
sitting out there. We're not going to. Okay. Then why put this ordinance in in place? We had to put something there to help everybody else out when people come and go. We're not going to be um I don't want to say, but hard ass is about 20 minutes. You're there for for 21
minutes. We're going to write you a ticket. It's just not going to happen. But this is what traffic recommended to us. So what if you're there for 2 hours? Stay there for 2 hours. I don't have a problem with it. They're not going to have a problem. Then why why didn't you do this? Like I don't have much more I can say.
Um recommendation from traffic. We're just taking their recommendation and putting an ordinance. Correct. It's not us traffic. And to be honest with you, Mike, myself, and the county have been getting phone
calls daily from the business owners over by auto shop. The one business owner Mhm. that he wants his own Oh, isn't that too big? parking spots. Well, that's not going to happen. It's public parking. So, we tried to work with him to give him a little bit more flexibility with his
with his clientele. I'm sorry. He has this is the one that has the entire parking lot behind like he has like a a there's an auto shop in the back which is owned by and the fence which is owned by the business owner of
the building. The owner of the building. Okay. which was um Lawrence Chambers. At one time, Lawrence Chamb's brother autoop was owned by a guy named Austin. When he was running, he refurbishes cars, right? So, while he was doing that, he keeps his cars in the back. He also told this
guy he can have parking. The guy's not buying it. All right. So, I told the business owner, "You need to talk to your landlord." And somebody, and I don't want to cuz I don't know for sure, but somebody went on the sidewalk and parked the pickup truck on the sidewalk.
All right. I pretty much know who it is, but traffic took care of that. So, we're just trying to work with the business owners down there. We've spoken uh Mike has spoken to them down there, and this guy keeps coming. We said the best we can do for for that area is go 20-minute parking. But if somebody is there a half
an hour to an hour, your example, we're not going to do anything about it. I I don't I I mean I think the 2hour limit is is only because like I don't like the idea of you like if your dog poops in the sidewalk, I want that
somebody to get a ticket. I want it to be enforced. You know, pooping has nothing to do with parking. But you're saying that you're not going to enforce I didn't say that the pooping. I said that. But you said that for parking. So an example is what you said. I understand that. But if somebody drops
their dog's dropping, I mean I my dog took over. I got it back with you pick it up when you leave, right? Um that's the business owner. And also then like as a as a business owner like that uh you know ice cream and and stuff like you know as it is now
you know we've we've eliminated a lot of parking spots for for those people. Um, and it's it stinks that you can't take your time and get out and go for But you can please understand what I'm saying. Okay.
Okay. You can't. Not one of our police officers from what I've been told from the head of the traffic bureau is going to give anybody a hard time for sitting down there for an hour or two hours enjoying an ice cream going to chicken and roll. They're not going to do that. It sounds like I
know. If we want be able to a guy goes down there and parks and leaves his car for 2 hours and goes somewhere else. It's we're trying to help the massful people come and go and go to their businesses, but we're not going to be um ticket happy. I'll just call it that.
All right. We're not doing that. We're not going to punish our residents or whoever's going there to shop or go into a business. We're not going to punish anybody before that. This recommendation came from traffic and we took their recommendation and that's what we're putting into effect. Okay. And if somebody's going to be
there longer, if there is a parking lot. All right. And I believe we're adding parking spots on on we're looking into it. Looking into parking spots on one side of Ree by Chicken and Roll. I think that's where it is of what we're allowed to put there because you have to be X amount of feet back from from an
intersection which I think is 50 ft on both sides. That's just law anywhere. That's the Laser Field, that's your street, my street, wherever. You can't encroach on an intersection. So, we're trying to work make it better. And if you look down there, the county um had a
contractor put temporary lines up for parallel parking. And there's been no problems with cars going driving by. There's been no problems for people getting out of their cars. I did it myself just to make sure with my truck. My truck is bigger than most cars. So, we have parking spots there. We have
some parking on the other side of Sloan. They're going to put two nice crosswalks on both sides of Reeves going across into the park so it's safely for people to walk across across the street. That's the whole purpose of this. And then when they're all said and done, they put all this the the the signs in and all that.
They're going to mill pave realign do the blockout lanes. It'll be very nice once it's done. It should be done in about another month. They're coming back next week to start the the crosswalk is all handicap accessible. All right. They have to put them in. They're putting them in four
different spots. Two are already done on one side. They have to do two on the on the park side and then up by the Dollar General and then up at the crossing to go into Main Street Butler before he splits and goes up to Glenn Wild Dav by um Andy's Refrigeration. That one
building over there. Okay. So, that's where we are with that. And I appreciate your comments, but we spent a lot of time with traffic discussing that and then going down there and you know, Sammy's pretty thorough when it comes to this stuff. This is was their recommendation. I disagree with it completely.
Okay. Thank you. Anyone else? Seeing no one a motion to close. Some move. Second. All in favor? I. Any other questions before we go to adoption? Okay. Motion for adoption.
Some move. Second. Roll call. Hudson. Yes. Schubert, no. Gazdy, yes. Broners, yes. Catalano, he's not here. Graziano,

So move. Second. Do I need roll call here? because it's an ordinance or I can just do all favor. You you can just do an all in favor because it's just an ordinance to withdraw. Okay. All in favor? I I Okay. Item D. Um we talked about this
before. Ordinance number 24-2025 amendment chapter 92 zoning walls. Motion to table this public hearing and adoption of ordinance number two number 24 2025 till the October or October 7th 2025 meeting. And the reason we're doing
that is because we haven't gotten our recommendations back from the planning board because there is still some discussion going on there. Do I have a motion to table this ordinance? Second. All in favor? I I Okay. Okay. New new business adoption
resolution number 20259.8 shared service agreement with Compton Lakes Municipal Court Facility Emergency use only. This is simply that if we have a problem with our council chambers, we have someplace to go and if they have a problem with their their or I'll call it
court. All right. They can use ours and if we have a problem with our court, we can use theirs so it doesn't hold up the process. Okay. This is a new regulation that came down um I guess from the court system. Yep. And we're just following the recommendation uh from the courts
and the the AOC has blessed this arrangement. Okay. And just a quick question, there's no monetary exchange, right? Need it. If we need it, we're good, right? It's just to help each, you know, one town to the other. Okay. All right. Um, do I have a motion?
So move. Second. Okay. Let's do a roll call on this. She, yes. Broners, yes. Raviano, yes. Hudson, yes. Don't say catalog. I did.
Okay. Do I have a motion to go into late public comment? So move. Second. All in favor? I uh uh Linda's always She gave me her permission. Charles Carval, 75 rule and a half. I
just want to make a couple of comments as a followup to my previous comments of last month on the budget. First of all, I want to thank Rich Delaripa. I think his comments helped me to rethink how I view uh your budget, your budget process. Um so I'm trying to work on
that. So I want to thank Rich for that. Also want to thank Council Broner for his diligence in attending all the board of ed meetings that we've had uh to date and look forward to continuing that. I just want to make I I went on the burough website and I wanted to ask myself
for the past six years the board of ed increases have been 1.6%. The burough increases including the one you just passed is 2%. That 1.6% we use some of that budget cap thanks to the suggestion from Ray Yazdi to kind of
bridge uh we had some debt going off and kind of level that out to kind of stabilize the the rate that the citizens of Bloomington were receiving. The main point I want to make is that 1.6%
of the past six years was only $1.2 million that the district received from the taxpayers and Bloomingdale. So, I just want to make clear the $4 million did not come from the citizens of Bloomingdale. That came from other sources like COVID money, as we said,
and the preschool monies. I just want to also be share with you as I go through the county and talk to other districts. Those districts that gave up their covered money are doing something similar to what you had to do this year. They go back, they use all their bank cap and they had doubledigit
increases to their municipalities because that's just the way the numbers worked out. So, I just want to share that. Well, we did give up our CO money. All right. I just we didn't give it up over the time we got it until the time you had to use it by which was 2 years ago. Right. We used the Cobra money to do a
lot of different things with to make our town safe. Understood. Right. What we were allowed to do. So we used our code. We didn't give anything back. You don't give back or you'll never get it again. Right. Right. So we used our cover money to help the taxpayers offset the offset our taxes. Right. All right. And every budget from the time we got it
that did the same thing. Unfortunately, now they're clawing a lot of money back and some of them even had to go referendum for their operating budgets. I just wanted to share that with you. That's what I I've been experiencing throughout the state county and other districts in New Jersey. So, I just wanted to share that that we're clear on
where that $4 million came from, how I think you're aware how it's being used and how we are conscious of the taxpayers uh in Bloomingdale. So, I just want to kind of clarify those points and again, thank Mr. Yazzy for suggestion and thank Rich for his helping out for me to rethink how I look at your budget
and absorb it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. You good? All right. Come on up. I'll be walk down. Sure. You could pull one from the back too if you want.
I would really appreciate your name and address. Where you from? I got two addresses. Well, just your name and address that your primary residence at. David Sivon, Civan, 129 Hollywood Avenue, Anglewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Okay.
Business owner, 212-220 Franklin Street in Patterson, New Jersey. You're going to have to speak into a microphone, though. We can you can lower that if you like or take you can take this one over there. You got it.
You got it. Thank you. I'd like to engage myself with Mrs. Sullivan. Direct everything to me and then I'll decide where it goes to. Um, it's very interesting why I'm here tonight. I've been through a lot of pain for the
last six years. extremely. I'm on a verge of going bankrupt. I've lost over a quarter of a million dollars worth of my life savings. I'm being sued right now for 155,000
by a law firm of Winnie Banter in Hackinack, New Jersey. That was one of my biggest mistakes in my life to go to him. He was one of my church members. [Music]
I was very very disappointed in what happened in here a couple of months ago. Extremely. And I was held hostage in this courtroom for over three and a half years. In here? Yeah.
Tortured. Back in 2018 or 2017, a 17,000 square foot building was offered to me right behind my dealership where I buy and sell used cars. That's been my whole life. I'm a Pistonian. I've been in
Patterson for 28 years now. The building was offered to me was an ice house on Lafayette Street in Patterson by Putnham Mobile baseball field. And I should have bought it. I should have put a mortgage on my house and I
should have bought it, but I didn't because I thought I was going to get out. Two guys came in. They bought this building behind me. They gave the guy a million dollars for it, robbed the building,
and they paid for his property taxes that he was behind for three years. I was introduced to both of these guys. One guy was a China and the other guy was his psy. The China's name Vincent Chow. the Paty
John Talivachi. He was an Albanian. He was an Italian. I got introduced to both of these people by the guy that I knew very well behind me. Actually, they're from Pompton Lakes, Doug Trost. Great guy.
And I knew something was up as soon as I seen the Chinese guy and the American kid. And they indicated to me that they were bringing in a clean, friendly environment of a business where they would be granulating
copper out of insulated wire making it into sawdust [Music] and that the machines were on the way leaving Beavenon Hav, Germany and coming into uh Port Elizabeth. And when you seen these machines, they
could vibrate the George Washington Bridge. The dust collector stands four Greyhound buses big. Okay, you could barely put it into this courtroom. That's how big the dust collector is. It leaks PM10 dust all
over the streets, all over the cars in my used car lot. The odors, the vibrations. My building's like this all day long. The illegal hours and the corruption that goes on in
Patterson is beyond belief. The payoffs, the bribes, the kickbacks, the envelopes, we came down to a conclusion where we weren't getting anywhere. and my lawyer demanded a large amount of
money to get in front of a gentleman by the name of Ernest Caposella and I'm sure that Mrs. Sullivan knows uh him rather. Uh he was the highest commanding judge in Pay County,
very very high commanding judge, assignment judge. And he commanded me to go, well, my lawyer did all the talking, but he commanded me to go into the municipal courtroom in Patterson
because this case had to be heard in a municipal courtroom before it went back into Superior. And it went in front of a judge. Um John um how do you say his last name?
Miola. Miola. John Miola in Hawthorne. Nice guy. And then for some reason it got moved out and then it came up in here. Came into this courtroom back in 2022. Right around the end of 21
going into 22. I had 200 criminal complaints against the China and the American kid for vibrating my building, putting PM10 dust all over my property, coming illegally in the morning 4 5:00
and turning the machines on, coming in on Saturdays and Sundays and turning the machines on. And this has been going on for 6 and 1/2 years. They hired a lawyer by the name of Neil Chesson. And Mr. Chesson was with the
Bobby and Adolf Guchio law firm out of Totala. These three guys handled rapists, murderers, drug dealers, drug addicts, burglars, arsonists, carjackings,
handguns, machine guns. They handled hardened criminals. That's all they did. All three of them. Mr. Chess came in here and he played with Mr. D'Angelo
for weeks and months, two years up until he said, "This case is getting old, your honor." And I looked at him. And I said to myself, you don't have $3 million on a street corner like I do.
We went to every single, including the FBI, every single agency in the state of New Jersey. We had Washington DC to come up from the federal government for the for the um for the dust.
Five explosions, two times the building going on fire behind me in the middle of the night, illegally operating. I brought in at two times which cost me each time I brought these people in
$4,000. There were expert testimony that we were ready for testimony. Mr. Mr. Chess made up some kind of a cockamani story again bamboozled your honorable D'Angelo and it got blown
away. This case came over here. Okay. It had to be heard. It had to be heard cut and dry. It was commanded and demanded by a superior court judge that this case had to be heard. No ifs, no buts, no
ands. $25,000 of my money over $25,000 between paying Michael DeMarco, the experts, the planners, the vibration people that I brought here. Okay. Going in front of Ernest Capacella.
All right. Wasn't cheap. A Germans. A Germans. A Germans. And Mr. D'Angelo closed his eyes and let everybody get away with it. Okay. Mr. The D'Angelo took me like a puppet on a string and played with me. I had my mouth shut every time I came in front of
him every time. Then my father died, the I'm going back to China. His partner, my wife is having a baby. We can't make it. Your honor, we need another adjournment.
Mr. D'Angelo in the end, to make the long story short, two months ago, put me, Michael DeMarco, Neil Chess, uh, James Palco,
Neil Chess, everybody on mute. disrespected everybody, everybody on mute and said that this case has got no merit. I have hundreds of police reports, hundreds of zoning phony letters that
they send out from the from the from the um the zoning board. Okay. My case has got no merit and Mr. Chess gave some kind of a phony uh uh case management from 1972.
Okay. From a Makowitz case that employees could not be um prosecuted that work for the company. Well, that's really strange because the dust collector that's four Greyhound buses big
is the criminal that I brought in here with the China men. You had two criminals in here. You had you had John Talivachi and you had Vincent Shia. You had two criminals in this courtroom. Two of them. And they're hiding behind the apron.
Okay. the Makowitch law case from 1972 came up. Okay. And I was startled that the judge got bamboozled. Okay. And said that this case has got no merit. I'm I'm I'm
relieving myself. This case has got to be heard in another courtroom. What courtroom is left on an appeal? I got to wait another two years. Three and a half years. Okay. Your judge played with my life for three and a half
years. Buried me. Okay. Buried me. You have no idea uh Mr. Deato what I have been through in my life. And it clearly states over here on another zoning violation which I want to I want to read to you. Okay. Uh and I want to also read
to you about chapter chapter chapter 500 with vibration. But one minute. This is what your judge let go. Pursuant any agent, architect, building contractor, owner, tenant, or any other person who commits or takes parts of
these assists and actions in violation of this ordinance shall for each and every violation be imprisoned in a Pay County Jail for a period of not extend 10 days or be fined in an amount of exceeding $500
or both each day and a violation continues. use permitted shall constitute separate offense. Now, my address is 212-220 Franklin Street, and I'm in Patterson, New Jersey.
I am begging for one of you guys to come down at any time. I'll leave you my business card and see what I'm going through all day long with this. And this man, D'Angelo, he let these two criminals beyond recognition. Okay. And
now the has disappeared and so is the American guy and they're renting the building out for $25,000 a month. Okay. And the Chinaman's collecting the $25,000 a month being on my land. Being on my land. And Mr. D'Angelo let
these two criminals walk and he claimed that there was no merry. Ernest Capistella commanded that this case gets heard in a m municipal courtroom. Okay. Before it goes back into superior. My
lawsuit is on top of Andre Sees table. Me and Bill Pascarel were like this. I don't know if you know Mr. Pascal. We were like this. He was part of Anglewood Cliffs. That was his area. And I as a Democratic
campaign manager. Okay. Always used to sit down to him and tell him, "Bill, I'm going to go to every single house in Angwood Cliffs and I'm going to make sure we're going to win this one." And me and Bill were very close. I went to the federal building so many times and I sat down with Bill. I went to his wake.
I went as far as his cemetery and burying him. Well, let me just let me interject a little bit. Let me interject a little bit. All right. And I I feel for you. I don't know the total background other than what you're telling me, but I all I can tell you this council. All right.
All we do is we appoint our judge. Once the judge is appointed, any complaints that you're talking about need to go to the court system. We have no we have no jurisdiction over that. Zero. It has to go to an appeal court. We appoint the judge and then the judge
has to follow the court system. If you have a problem with our judge, you have to file through, correct me if I'm wrong, through the pro the process through the court system. There's nothing we can do. I don't know that. I don't know the
whole details behind it. All I can tell you is first time I ever heard a complaint about our judge, but there's nothing this council can do. All we do is appoint and then after that the courts take over. 14page report I haven't sent out yet to the judiciary committee down.
and what he did to me. Well, that's that's your privilege to do all that and and I feel for you for losing all, but there's nothing this council can do for a court case. Zero. That's just the way the system works.
That's not our rules. That's the rules of the court system. And are you familiar, ma'am, with Ernest Trapel? I am. Yeah. We went in front of him. He's a very good judge. Great guy. Ernie, great guy.
Judge D'Angelo is also a very good judge and he issued a decision based on a motion. You had the option to appeal that decision. You did not choose that. I appealed it. Well, then that that's your your option. Your option to challenge
for three and a half years. Okay. We can't answer. You have two options. Appeal the decision. Follow the process. If you have a complaint against the judge, that's it. This governing body has no authority over an officer of the court.
I can't believe that this guy took me for three and a half years. I feel for you. I mean, I don't know. There's always two sides to everything. I'm listening to what you're telling me. And I really feel for the money you lost and what you're telling me, but there's nothing we can do after my case is all over. Mhm. The first thing I'm going to do
when I go to Florida is I'm going to buy a cemetery plot because I don't want to be buried in New Jersey. This is the number one leading state that people are leaving because it's turned to a cess poolool. And um we're letting a lot of bad people
come into this, you know, area. You know, when I come in here all the time, I make a prayer for all those guys that are in those showcases, especially for one of them that went out to sea in World War II and died in two weeks. His ship got torpedoed
by a Japanese submarine. You know, the guy out there, his ship got torpedoed, a Japanese submarine. I mean, I those were all real guys that made these towns and what it is today. And um we're losing a lot of these towns one by one, especially Badison. It's
finished. It's completely finished. But I thought that when I came in here, I thought that it it it really didn't go good for me. That's all I got to tell you. I just wanted to get this off my chest. That's why I came up here. I appreciate you coming and telling us, but if we can do something, we
we look into it, but there's according to our attorney, there's in the rules. I don't want this guy to think that what he did to me. Okay. D'Angelo, what he did to me. I don't want him to think that, you know, I was some kind of fool and that's why I'm here and I want him to know that I'm
here. Okay? I want him to know that I'm here because it was very upsetting what he did to me. You know, you understand me? And matter of fact, he's a very personal friend of one of my personal friends, uh, which was a detective in Madison. And, um, he can't even believe
that this case got thrown out, you know, into the into the gutter. After three and a half years, I I patiently waited. I patiently waited. Well, I appreciate your comments, but like I said, our hands are tied. The court system goes through let this guy in and
um he really slipped up. You know, like I said, he was more geared up on domestic violence, uh uh DWI, the speeding, things like that, things of that nature. This is a very complicated case, but it is a crime
what these people are committing. That's what I'm trying to tell you. It is a crime what they're committing and it is imprisonment. It is fines. But um it it it's mindboggling that 6 and 1/2 years is gone by. Okay. And the guy
started suing me. Uh he started putting a slapsuit on me because it was just, you know, and every day the guy's in my building. I wonder who the envelope is going to uh every month to the council people to to to the mayor's office. Well, that's take off there and embassy younger.
All right, wash my hands of that. But anyway, let me leave you. Thank you for your time. Thank you. I appreciate you coming in. This off my chest. Very disappointed with Mr. D'Angelo. What he did to me. Okay. I'm very disappointed. Thank you. You're welcome. Now it's your turn.
Yes. I don't think you can beat that. I hope so. 86 a.m. Um, I just want to find out the status of having the meetings broadcast online so people can listen to it and ask questions online. At this time, we're obviously that's
going to cost money. At this time, there's there there's no decision to be made made to do that. We're not doing that. Rich, when Rich gets it, he puts it up online and everybody gets to see it and I know people watch it. I watch it sometimes. I watched it to find out what
I'm saying or other people are saying. But the board there does it. The board are there. You can listen to it and you can call in and ask questions. Why can't something like that? I don't I don't see a need for it. So you don't just don't want to do it. Well, there's a cost to everything and you obviously we're going through some
uh financial stuff that we need to get in line first and you'll agree with that. So I just don't at this point think it's anybody can come down. We do have to pay uh the person who runs the equipment. I don't know. I won't get into that. But there is a cost to have
the person there manage it because otherwise I can't manage it and run. There's a cost. All right. Well, we shouldn't be talking to the audience, but I know there's people that sit there when I go to your your meetings. And you don't do every meeting, I don't think. Um you you
we try to do every meeting. We try to have it air as quickly as possible, but sometimes there's technical difficulties and stuff like that, but we do have a professional person run it. That is a cost just be transparent. Okay. Thank you. Thanks.
Anyone else? See no one a motion to close. Second. All in favor? I. Okay. We do not have an executive session tonight. Our next meeting is September 16th at 7 o'clock. Do I have a motion to adjurnn? Some move. Second. All in favor?
Thank you all. [Music]
