>> yes. We will now open it up to public comments or questions specifically pertaining to tonight's agenda. Comments or questions? Mr. Qu. Thomas J. Cohen Third Avenue. I just like to go over this uh
this draft of the affordable housing. I mean, so many revisions. It's it's crazy that it wasn't received until Friday. I mean, but there's a number I'm just going to go over this really quickly. These are minor changes.
Um page 3 U 450-34 AH1. It should read uh within the existing OP and B zones on the east side of Main Street,
>> which this is 415-34. >> Uh item A, >> geographic parameters. The block and lots appear to be accurate, but this is not accurate. versus says GBW general business west zone. That's incorrect. So I don't know
how that happened. I was correct on the last one I looked, you know. Um so if you go to uh page four again um item A where it says AH2 affordable
housing overlay geographic parameters. It should read OP and B zones on the west side of Main Street. So somebody it was just put in incorrectly. So that change could definitely be made.
And then as we go to AH3 on the next page, item A, geographic parameters, um, it should read all property located within the GBW general business west zone west of the alleyway.
>> Actually, I have a list of all of the lots and blocks that put into it, >> but they should be added, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. I' I've got all those specific lot blocks. Thank you, Councilman. Um, >> Mr. Go, which what was that last GBW
West of the alleyway? Where was that affordable housing? What age? >> That's AH3 450-36A. >> Geographic parameters. >> Yeah, because there's one property that actually spans the alleyway street,
>> right? But it it really isn't completely west of >> it. It isn't, but they could use it for access. >> Um, so that's And again with um Councilman Karp's additions of the block and lots in that uh geographic parameters would be helpful also just to
be very very very specific. And then um at 450-38 um AH5 there's no geographic parameters but the block and lots are in here. It it geographic parameters should really just
read block 45 in its entirety and then the lots are in Yeah. So, I hope those are minor changes. >> Yeah. >> Um because we are in a time constraint. You know, we did want to get this done in December of 2025,
but you know, here we are. But thank you very much. I hope you can make those changes. >> Appreciate your comments, Mr. Co. Thank you. Other comments about tonight's agenda? Questions? Okay, seeing none, I'll I'll close public comment. I do want to comment on
Mr. Cole your uh moments ago mentioning that we did receive this very late. Uh I want to actually tip my hat both to you and to Councilman Karp uh because you guys both worked pretty extensively on this over the weekend to get us to a 98
percentile completion. Uh I know Mr. Clark, you you brought some additional items. You'll be a little later, >> but thank you for those too. Between them, we'll get this cleaned up and ready to go for the state of New Jersey. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> Okay, so close public comments. We'll
move to ordinances. And we have a handful of uh ordinance introductions tonight. Uh actually five. Uh and let me just proceed. Uh, one thing about ordinance introductions, there will be no official public comment. Ordinance
adoptions, there will be, but uh, the council will discuss each of these very briefly just to, uh, give everyone an overview. So, ordinance number 2026-9 is an ordinance amending and supplementing chapter 450 zoning and
amending chapter 451, article 9, article 11, I'm sorry, of the burough code. uh and this is to establish affordable housing overlay zones. AH1 through AH5 uh and AH4 is already established but we we are relocating it so that it aligns
with one through five. Uh this is in fact the ordinance that Mr. Cohen was just referencing and u uh we are under fairly tight state deadlines. Uh we have to introduce the ordinance tonight. The uh land use board will then review it
for consistency. It's a zoning ordinance. After they review it for consistency, it'll come back to the council and on March 3rd, we will approve it presumably um just ahead of our March 15th deadline. So, uh council,
uh comments or questions? Mr. Caro in particular, uh I've asked you to say a few things, but you also have some edits, I think. >> Yeah. So there's a couple of things um in specifically to what Mr. had said um in the H3 450-36
the geographic parameters. Um Erica I actually emailed them to you. >> Okay. >> Just because I'm just going to read off a bunch of blocks. So it was block 32 lots 24 25 26 29 uh block 58 lots 1 2 3
7 12 13 14 block 59 lots 1 2 3 12 through 14 and block 70 lots 1 2 3 and 8 12. So that was one of the comments where it was missing those lot blocks in the geographic >> that was under which uh
>> that was for age three. Thank you. >> Any other uh specific edits? Mr. M stole my thunder. So yes, exactly the um uh the ones for the um the A2 including
the OP on the west side of Main Street. also 450-34A um which is the east side of Main Street on the west side of Main Street. Um we talked about and the geographic
particular issues for AH5 it was suggested to have the entire block but we specified all the blocks. >> So what very specific language for the clerk? I know you've given her the
blocks. Does she have Mr. CL? >> Uh, no. So, what's the best way to do that? >> Um, can can we cover that now? We can make a motion. Sure. So, >> can somebody like sit with me with this thing and show me where you want what because I don't
>> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Okay. >> Is this everything that you want in here, TJ? What you have? >> Eric, would you mind reading it out loud for us? Are you okay reading, Eric?
>> Uh, all right. 450-34 AH1 a geographic parameters. >> Uh, he has optur zones, >> right? It's right. It's the >> op,
>> right? It says it with it says within the existing GBW and that's not correct. >> Okay. Someone's gonna like just have to sit down with me though because I don't know what you want me to type in things. I don't normally do this. >> Paul, would you like to actually read? I
think we should get the record. >> Okay. So, the the the geog the geographic parameters should read um this is 450-34. >> We'll get this to you. >> Okay. Um the AH1 overlay zone shall
apply exclusively to the following tax parcels located within the existing OP BR >> B sorry >> OP >> another two two separate zones
>> and then those blocks and lots that are current >> doesn't refer to the east side >> east side >> east side do we have on the east
OP B O R East. >> Is that the word you suggested? >> Well, I just said OP and B on the east side. >> OP N O R on the east side. >> Yes, >> Mr.
H2 is 450-35. under a geographic parameters should be the OP and B on the west side of Main Street. So add that lots of blocks.
>> We'll add that before the blocks. >> Then go down to H3 which is That's correct. All right. Uh geographic parameters um all property
located within the GBW general business west zone west of Main Street and west of the alleyway. >> Well, west of Main Street can be taken out just west of the >> just west of the alley. Okay. All right.
So, just west of the alley, >> do you still keep to the municipal boundary along the New Jersey Transit? >> And then I have then there's a a big list of all of the lots and blocks >> and you read those >> and I read those already.
>> And you have one more for Yeah. All right. Any other edits that we want to see before we go? >> Okay. Uh, any other comments or questions from the council? >> I just want to thank Mitch and TJ for
all the hard work and this together. I mean, I think we all sort of were part of this process initially. We all go away. >> So yes, uh I think we all we all appreciate your efforts here, gentlemen. Thank you.
>> So um with that said, I will make a motion that we will change this draft to include the edits that uh M that Councilman Cart has read to us, which include um let me make sure I get these
right. A what do we have? AH1. These are all geographic parameters for age one, age two, age what else? Three and five >> and a5.
So make a motion that we uh include the oh and the block and and lot numbers Mr. Carter separately read aloud and forwarded to cler. So I'll make a motion that we include all of those edits in this draft.
>> Mr. Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mbot, yes. >> Mr. Carr, >> yes. >> Um, Mr. Niki, >> yes. >> Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. Now, I will make a motion that we uh introduce approve for introduction ordinance 2026-9
as amended by the last motion. Second, >> Mr. Noble. Yes. >> Mlet. Yes. Mr. Carp. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki. Yes. Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. Again, we're breathing a sigh of relief because this has been a long time to come here, but that was a lot of work in a short period of time. Thank you.
Okay. Ordinance 2026-10 U amending chapter 9, Traffic of the Bros. Revice general ordinances to revise temporary parking regulations applicable during snow emergencies. And we have the the dump of 12 ines of
snow or so few weeks ago to thank for some of these uh these particular language changes um because we we've heard enough over the years and we heard it again this year uh concerns about the language we have in alter alternate side
of the street parking. So we believe um these amendments are just clearing up that language a bit. U but along with alternate side of the street parking we've added more clarity around removal of snow from sidewalks um
which u which has largely been expanded to add more clarity to corners, corner lots, and in particular, I give everyone a sneak preview of what this says, but corner lots, it's always been managed this way, but it hasn't been stated
clearly enough. Um, corner lots are responsible for moving uh the removing snow up to the curb line on handicap ramps that are on the corners. Um, once you hit the curb line, it is the burough's responsibility to remove snow.
Um when you get 10 and 12 and 15 inches of snow dumped on you, um nothing's a particularly clean process for removing snow, especially in a tightly packed community as we have. So, um we we've heard complaints of folks saying, "Well,
the plows didn't clear the snow, you know, beyond the curb line." It is up to the burrow to clear the snow beyond the curb line. It is up to the property owners to clear the snow up to the curb line. So in any given snowfall, plows might not get all the way to the curb
and then we the burrow will come back and get that. Uh on the other hand, if the plows cleared right up to the curb and push snow into a corner um ADA ramp that has already been cleared, that property owner is going to have to clear
it again. It's the line of demarcation is the curve. So, u I'm sure we're not done with this. The next heavy snow, we'll get a lot of concerns raised. Again, uh we're all our residents and our our employees are all doing the best we can given the circumstances. But for
purposes of this ordinance, I just want everyone to know we're adding clarity hopefully to reduce the number of questions we get. I doubt we'll reduce the number of complaints, but at least questions hopefully fewer comments or questions from the council on this one. >> I would just say that it's critical that
we that people understand the responsibility for the soil removal. Um, but I also heard people, you know, complain about, well, it's frozen and I can't break it off. I can't get it off and and I just wanted to highlight that the um the code does say you can put
sand down salt and that would, you know, cover you because that, you know, a non-slippery surface, you know, so that's, you know, adding grit to it. Um, does solve that problem and then you would not be fine. But, you know, preferably clear clear the way because our emergency services really need that
>> as well as our traveling, you know, pedestrians um ability to walk the neighborhoods. >> And to your point, that language is already there and will will remain. The other thing that is not uh completely understood by the broad public, but the
ordinance already included and we have clarified further that these could be daily fines. So, people have complained that they got a whatever the you know, fine was at the time. In a subsequent meeting over the next month or so, we'll be raising fines. We have to wait for
the court system to approve that. But, um, the people were referencing a single fine. And I just want folks to know that there may be times we, the burrow has the right to um to find on a daily basis. So, please, you know, especially
in large snow events, do your best to not only clean but maintain your your sidewalks. Uh, it's all about public safety. >> Any other comments on this? >> I just wanted to also point out that what's also in the ordinance um is that
if the bureau needs to come and actually clear the sidewalk um that the an assessment would go back to home. that is an option that we can pursue. Yeah. Um just to clarify, we can hire an
independent entity to clear your sidewalk for you uh in the event and this may in fact happen on rare occasion especially if there's combination of a large snowfall and folks who are just out of town who have not made derations
to cover their sidewalks. We can allow sidewalk to remain covered with snow for an extended period and that is clearly an option we can pursue. It's already in the ordinance. We're not changing that part of it, but we can hire an independent entity at a reasonable
market cost um to to move your smell and bill you and or attach a lean to your property. So, all that said, I will make a motion that we approve the introduction of 2026-10. Second. Mr. Noble, yes. Mr. Greenlet,
yes. Mr. Park, yes. >> Mr. Nikki, yes. Mayor, >> yes. 2026-11 is a really interesting uh amendment, I think, because we u this is referencing uh amending chapter 398, streets and
sidewalks, and basically focusing on maintenance of streets and sidewalks, and in particular, keeping sidewalks clear. And this was prompted because we actually had an incident in the burough where somebody positioned a porta potty in the middle of the sidewalk
and you know people can't get around portaotties and the width of a 4 foot wide sidewalk. Uh and lo and behold a code came to us and said we don't have an ordinance saying keep the sidewalk clear. So, so we will shortly as we are now introducing new language that that
is very specific in terms of people's responsibilities for keeping their sidewalks clear and uh and traversible by uh by AA standards. Any comments or questions on this one? So I I presume that also includes sometimes I see cars
that are can't fit in the driveway because there's too many cars in the driveway and the back of the car is >> cross references equipment and so forth. >> Okay. So if no further questions, I'll make a motion that we uh that we approve
the introduction of ordinance 2026-11. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, yes. >> Mr. Green, yes. >> Mr. Clark, yes. >> Mr. Nikki, yes. Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. Okay, the next is ordinance amending chapter 365, which is rental property of
the burough's revised general ordinances to update the administration of occupancy tax on certain rentals. And this is in particular for short-term rentals. A year ago, roughly maybe uh March time frame or so, we um we for the
first time introduced an ordinance that we were able to u put a tax municipal occupancy tax. Thank you for coming to me. U we were able to tax short-term rentals. And again, short-term rentals have to meet all
sorts of specific definitions. Um one of which is it's got to be 30 days or less. Um but as as good as that was as a as a starting point for us, um it was probably that ordinance was probably a little light on some of the administrative criteria. how we did not
for example request uh detailed documentation. Um uh we did not create a form that would that would be delivered would be notorized by the person uh the landlord
and delivered to our CFO. So, there's a lot of administrative um enhancements that we've made now via this particular introduction that will um hopefully make it a cleaner, more efficient process both for landlords as
well as for uh the folks on on the burough side of this that are, you know, tracking all this data. Um and we've also made sure to make it all in accordance with New Jersey state statute. So, I think these are some really good enhancements to what's
already started out to be a better process for tracking and managing short-term rental. Comments or questions? >> I just want to say that I think uh it was a very good idea to also um take some of the onus off of all the
recordeping to pay alternatively a flat rate rather than a percentage fee um and not have to supply as much information. easier. >> Well, and just to make sure we avoid
confusion, we actually have both. We actually still have a tax the tax has to be a percentage. In fact, it can't be flat, but what I think you're referencing uh there is a provision uh that in lie of providing all the
recordeping and reporting uh that would that would support the 3% tax uh they the landlords have an option to $500 to your point flat fee. >> So just just for clarity that the actual tax has to be a percentage. However, if
they don't keep records, they can pay five $500 flat. And that $500 flat actually has some magic to it as well. We did some calculations estimating what a full-time rental would be at 3% on an average price of $350. Worked out to be
just about 500 bucks. So people who are renting less than uh summer probably would be overpaying if they but if they don't keep if they don't keep records then that would be their option. If no further comments or questions I
I'll make a motion that we uh approve the introduction of 2026-12. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Mlett. Yes. >> Mr. Fart. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. And now I would love to let someone else speak about these. So I'll turn to
council president. Thank you. This is the ordinance amending chapter 425 trees of the burough's revised general ordinance to enhance the operations and regulations of the burough's shade tree commission. When someone starts up a chainsaw,
there are many calls made to the shade tree commission to burrow hall probably to the police because people don't know if that application has been approved. But people fill out this application. They They're going to cut down a tree. It might be dead, but it might be a good
tree, but they have to replace it with other trees because we're trying to build up our canopy. So, you may have seen this with the construction department. They put this in the window, so you know the construction is approved. This would be the card now for the shade tree. So, if you go by and you
see a card in the window, you know the work has been approved. If you go by and you don't see the card in the window, you can continue to make those calls. And um the would like me to thank everybody for being concerned about our tree canopy and beautifying our
beautiful burrow with these wonderful trees. And hopefully this will clear up a little confusion and keep everybody in the loop. >> I'm sorry I called you so many times. >> That's okay. And Mitch Carp has been one of my callers, but we appreciate that
that you you are concerned. And um actually I I spoke with Spring Lake about this and other um municipalities. They're going to follow our lead on this as well because they're experiencing the same thing. So um if I may, I'd like to
make a motion that we approve ordinance 2026-13. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mlet, yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mayor Dubosi, >> yes. >> Thank you very >> Okay, that's the last the introductions. Now, we're going to move to ordinance
adoptions. Um, each of these will be made open to public comment. So, u, let's start with bond ordinance 2026-06, which is a bond ordinance providing for renovations to the beach prominade and
the acquisition of Movy Mats. Uh, we're appropriating uh up to $450,000. Uh uh and that would be for not only mobile but for um ramps. Um any comments or questions before I
open up to the public? >> All right. With that said, open it up to the public. Comments or questions? >> Second. >> Oh, yes. I'm sorry. >> Second, Mr. Noble. >> Yes. Yes. Mr. Carr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Noiki. Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. Now that it's open to the public,
Mr. Weber's here. Hi, John Weber. 313 Lraine Avenue. Um, so Moby Mats, it's like uh it's like Band-Aid. It's it's a brand name, but it's used to cover like all the book, right? So the ones that we use are called access deck, and they're
this flat big pieces of plastic, and that's all we have. Uh, and they can't go up inclines, whatever. So the I think the Moby Mat brand, or at least there's some brand that actually can go up even a slight, you know, just like a couple of foot, whatever. Do do we pick? We're
just doing the money here. Is there hasn't been any talk of like what we're going to get? >> Well, there's been talk about it. It's it's illdefined at this point because we're trying to match what we have, which are uh pvious mats that have a
specific linkage to link them together. >> Well, the blue ones, >> the kind that you're talking about, the pvious one, that's like that's an evergreen, >> right? Okay. So, everywhere else has these flat pieces of giant flat. That's like it's like this could be this tape just a big giant piece of plastic. >> I never we have three beaches that have
the impervious mass. >> Okay. So whichever >> those are like that's what those are the good kind. So if you can they're probably more expensive but you know >> for bonding so it's so you're bonding against beach money I'm assuming right. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um that's all. So just that's the
way to go. >> And wings I'm not a fan of wide fan of kind of that's all. Well, yes, Mr. Farab. >> Good evening. I'm Greg Farenbach, 408 Bradley Boulevard. Um, I'm going to take
probably a different t than former council reporter. Um, the bond ordinance authorized the burough to borrow uh through the beach utility up to about $450,000 for what I identify as being three
purposes. Um, the repair of steps and ramps leading from the prominard to the beach, construction of two additional ramps from the prominard to the beach in addition to the ones that currently exist,
and purchase of beach to facilitate travel from the prominard to the beach. My questions and comments are as follows. Um, regarding the first activity, repairs are by definition an operational expense, not a capital
expense. These should be funded through the operating budget, not through debt financing, requiring the bureau to pay interest on the borrowing funds. Why are these repairs not being funded through the operating budget?
Secondly, the construction of ramps are indeed a capital expense. However, um the nearly only purpose for which Bradley Beach is eligible for CDBG grant funding through the Mammoth County
Committee is for ADA accessibility. The burrow should seek funding through this grant program and reduce the debt burden on the beach utility to construct these additional ramps. As the burrow serves residents from many
Mammoth County municipalities in addition to the burrow itself, it would be a good candidate for funding under this program. Third item. Previously, these mats have been purchased as an operational expense
for the beach utility, not a capital debtfunded expense of the utility. As a debtfunded beach utility, uh not a a capital um debtfunded expense of the
utility, I'm sorry. Um, as a debtfunded purchase, these mats would be paid for over several years with an added cost of annual interest, interest in fees. Um,
because of the fact that in order to be able to do a bond ordinance, you have to have bond counsel um and you have to pay various uh fees to various professionals to be able to um process the item. Um
any max purchase for 2026 or any other year should be purchased as an operational expense of the current year's budget uh utilities budget reducing the debt imposed on the utility and eliminating the added
interest cost of carrying and servicing the debt. Lastly, there is no down payment uh of at least 5% provided in this ordinance. While for a self liquidating utility such as the beach
utility, it is not necessary to provide a down payment, the division of local government services has advised many municipalities in the past that it is a good fiscal practice to do so. In this way, the municipality is beginning to
process the process of defeasing the debt immediately. The beach utility will have considerable and future uh debt uh relating to the various projects
um that this and prior governing bodies have authorized or are under consideration. Operational expenses and projects with potential for grant funding should not be added to these already ambitious
debtf funed project costs. The self uh contained burrow needs to focus on living within its means. This is true of the utilities as well as the current fund. By definition, debt
financing of operational expenses is not living within one's means. Thank you. >> Thank you. And Mr. Fairbach, just a couple quick comments just so you have some feedback. U we did talk to our bond council. She
said the the mats in particular uh can she can use a useful life of five years. She said they do not have to be funded through operations. Just so you know, at least this question was was vetted. Um I I think you do raise a good question
about the 5% down payment. Um there and for everybody's benefit, the beach utility is experiencing a decent amount of um expenditures that through debt service uh alpha pipe that runs through the beach and a portion of that is being
funded through the beach utility. Uh we're trying to get the bathrooms and the uh and the new concession area set up. We we believe a good portion of that cost should get should get reimbursed if you will by a concessioner that would
take that place. But but I do appreciate your comments uh regarding you know the the need for us to manage the utility in in a appropriate manner that is trying to our best to minimize debt. The the u
the final comment is there are projects that need to get off the ground. Some of them are urgent uh extension of the prominade. You know, we have a decent amount of grant funding lined up about $4 million. That probably will help us
cover onethird of that prominade extension. Um along with that four million, the bureau probably will have to contribute perhaps another million uh through our own funding. But that is, as you know, a critical health and safety
issue, resiliency issue for the burough. That that is the south end of town is our lowest area relative to sea level and most um most at risk for flooding uh right into right into like so you're absolutely right. We have to be good
stewards of our money and try to spend where we can from operations. That said, I just want to make sure everyone also and you as well understand that we're doing our best to also meet some pretty important demands on our budget and our
I don't know if you have any other >> We may disagree a little but thank you for your explanations. >> Thank you Mr. Clark Thomas J. Coan. Um it seems that historically in Bradley Beach kind of done things a little backwards for
different reasons. Um in this case we haven't set the budget yet for the beach >> for 2026. So but what we have done is we've set up the beach fees already for the badges. So now we're locked into that.
>> Um I think they should really go hand in hand. I know historically back this is the way they've done it. So everybody can get a discount at Christmas time. But I I want us to remember this day when we set the daily badge fee because, you know, we do have to make protect the
taxpayers to make sure that this is a a funded uh utility operation without taxpayer inputs. Um but I think uh based on some of Mr. Faren's comments, um maybe we should be raising the daily fee to pay for some of these things directly
and not bonding. So, um I appreciate the opportunity to speak on that, but I think that's something we should look at and please let's remember this day when we set the daily beach. >> Well, not only remember this day will be we'll have financial data from this. >> Yes.
>> Um other comments or questions anyone on Zoom? Okay. Seeing no further public uh comments or questions, I'll make a motion that we adopt bond ordinance 2026-06. >> Second, >> Mr. Noble.
>> Yes. >> Mr. Greenl, >> yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Newiki, >> I just like to say um yes, with a caveat is I think we have an opportunity to look for grant money to help pay for these and um probably get that information from Mr. Fairmont, but we can go down that path and look to see if
we can't get for the ramp improvements. We should go as well. >> I've asked the engineer to do that already. >> Mayor. >> Yes. Okay. Next is ordinance 2026-7.
I won't read the full description. It's chapter 160 construction codes, uniform certificates of occupancy. Basically, we are striking the words garbage disposals from a list of things that you can that you need to get a permit fee for. The
reason we're striking the word garbage disposal in two words is because you cannot get a permit fee for a garbage disposal because they are not allowed in the room. So, this really is a somewhat of an editorial correction. Any comments
or questions from the council first? Okay, I'll make a motion that we open up for public discussion. >> Second. Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Miss Greenlet, yes. >> Mr. Park, yes. >> Mr. Nikki, yes. >> Mayor Gubosi, >> yes. Comments or questions from the
public? >> Okay, seeing none, I will make motion that we close public comment and adopt ordinance 2026-7. >> Second, Mr. Noble. Yes. M. Green. Yes. Mr. Clark. >> Yes. >> Mr. Noiki. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi.
>> Yes. Would you like to take this one >> for the arts committee? Um yes. So uh we are um uh making some changes to the ordinance. Uh this is for adoption and this is to
um enlarge the arts council which was uh consisted of nine members uh plus an exeicio and arts council would like to have um 13 members uh including the exeicio who is Amy Baker who's tourism.
Uh so that's really um primarily the change uh which also includes uh keeping everyone at an equal status and not having any one person uh as a chairperson or I mean they will have a treasurer and a secretary uh but they
don't want to have any um uh uh alternates. So they want everyone to have a vote. Um so that's really what this is. So I would uh ask that we um approve a motion to approve.
>> Oh goes out to the public so to um go to the public for 2026. >> Second. >> Mr. Nel. >> Yes. >> Mlet. Yes. >> Mr. Clark. Yes. >> Mr. Noiki. >> Yes. >> Mayor Guboski. >> Yes. Okay. Uh, with that said, we'll open it up to the public. Any comments or
questions about 2026-8? >> Okay. Seeing none on Zoom or in the room, I will make a motion that we uh close public comment and approve for adoption ordinance 2026-8. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, yes. >> Mr. Greenlet, yes.
>> Mr. Court, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mubosi, >> yes. There is a communication item 10 on our agenda, arts council appointments memo. And I don't have it right in front of me, but I know we are. >> It's in there.
>> Uh, yeah. So, the appointments are Abby Khan, Zelda Vortney, and Karen Carly Schlifer. All for one year new member appointments. Um, these appointments expire on 1231, 2026.
>> Good. Thank you. Okay. Next on the agenda are resolutions. We'll start with our consent agenda items. There are three items. Does council want to discuss or vote out any of these separately? >> I'm going to ask that we vote out 2026-71 separately, please.
>> Okay. Uh any other comments or questions? >> All right. I will make a motion that we approve consent agenda resolution items 2026-69 bill for February 17 and 2026-70 uh the approval for the brain injury
alliance annual 5k >> second Mr. Noble >> yes >> yes >> Mr. Clark >> yes >> Mr. Niki >> yes >> Mayor Dubosi >> yes okay item 2026-71 I'm going to have to recuse myself on this one so uh Miss,
can I ask you to >> Sure. So 202671 approving Darcy's Tavern uh to host a live ban and to serve outdoor food and beverage in its parking lot on Sunday, March 1st, 2026 for their St. Patrick's
Day parade. Uh and I will um look to approve 202671. >> Second. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, I'm also going to recuse myself. I have multiple items that may appear as a conflict and I do live within 200 ft of the establishment.
>> Thank you, Mr. Greenland. >> Yes, >> Mr. Clark. >> Yes, >> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mayor Hubz, >> I will recuse. I also live within 200 ft of the establishment. >> Thank you. Now we'll move to individual resolutions. Item 2026-47
uh is the mediation agreement that uh our planner Jen Bean has struck this agreement with the affordable housing uh entity for Bradley Beach to u have what we think is a very fair resolution and this is our opportunity to uh formally
approve it. Any comments or questions? Okay. I'll make a motion that we approve 2026-47 mediation agreement with affordable housing. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Mlat. >> Yes. >> Mr. Park. >> Yes. >> Mr. Noiki? >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi? >> Yes.
>> 202672 is approving a shared services agreement with the Burough of Neptune City for the provision of commercial cleaners to clean the Neptune City Community Center. Uh, basically this is a very small shared service. uh we're getting more or less reimbursed for u uh
custodians but because we share a rec center director Papus and Neptune City interestingly doesn't have the facility to um uh to have regular cleaning services. Uh we will use some of our people to u to
support their keeping their rec center clean. Any comments or questions? It's like, by the way, it's like $500 a week or so. >> This just one thing that occurs to me based on last meeting when we had that overtime settlement. I just wanted to make sure we're managing that this is
all regular time and that we're not creating overtime situation where it's being watched very closely so we don't have a situation in future. So just >> Yeah. Currently it's it's three cleaners at $10 I mean 10 hours a week. >> Right. In addition to what they do here.
>> Yeah. Within 40 hours. Yes. Correct. Yeah. We we manage overtime. We do the current administration in the past. Uh there was no well for a couple years back in 21 or 20. There was just no understanding that we had to pay halfime
on top of their regular time. We all understand that now. No overtime was authorized unless you know approved by us by name. So um but very appropriate note. So with no other comment, I'll make a motion that we approve 2026-72.
>> Second. >> Mr. Noble, yes. >> Miss Greenl, >> yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. 2026-73 is rejection of bids for the beach access manage systems. We uh talked with
our TPA and the problem is that the the little bidder uh did not was not able to meet specifications we need to be able to integrate the current mass that we already have with the new mass that they were proposing. So uh with guidance from
our QPA we will reject under this resolution we'll reject the bids we received and rebid it rebid it with clear specification requirements. No comments or questions. >> I will make a motion then that we approve 2026-73.
>> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> M. Greenblat. >> Yes. >> Mr. Park. >> Yes. >> Mr. Niki. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubos. >> Yes. 2026-74 awarding bid for lead paint inspection services to Lou environmental services. I know that Lou environmental
services is the uh was the low bidder. Mr. Dy, are you aware of more background on this particular inspection. >> Uh yeah, it's a it's something we should be doing as a municipality. >> These guys are professionals. They do in other towns as well.
>> Someone asked me if we've used them in the past. I was >> We have never used them. Okay. To my knowledge has never had a third party pay inspection company. >> I'm sorry. I I had asked that. I was the one who asked that question. I'm just wondering sometimes the lowest bid may
not be the best bid, but I know we have to take the lowest bid, but I My question was, are we familiar not just in this case, but but we want to know that that we have asurances that they'll do the job we want them to do. >> Yeah, they're vetted by the qualified
person agent, the recommendations before you as the >> council or not. >> Okay. Um, any other comments or questions about the will that pay inspection services? >> Mine were mine were answered. Thank you
so much. I will make a motion that we approve 2026-74 lead inspection services. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mr. Greenbot, >> yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Noiki, >> yes. >> Mayor Gupti, >> yes. In 2026-75, we have a handful of uh
adjustments to our temporary budget. Any comments or questions? Okay. Again, I know we've had opportunities to discuss this. Uh with no additional comments, I will make a motion to approve 2026-75. >> Second. Mr. Noble, >> yes.
>> Mr. Green, yes. >> Mr. Court, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mayor Gubosi, >> yes. Some will tell me that this is a few months too late, >> but item 2026-76 is adopting a policy on acceptance of
holiday gifts and nominal gifts by our employees. And the reason I say some will say it's too late. Most people in town over the years from time to time have goodness of their hearts brought a tray of cookies to our dispatch or the
DPW or whomever and just as a holiday thank you and u it it it was the question was raised right it happened to be right at the Christmas date like just before December
25th that uh the state of New Jersey has very very strict rules against employees receiving gifts. Literally, I'm told, the strictest in the country. Uh, and Chief Arnold was ready to have me thrown in jail, I think. But, uh, but you know, as of that
date, as I learned this, and we're right in the midst of gift giving, I did proclaim that our employees should not accept gifts following very strict guidelines. Uh I subsequently learned that um there are
exceptions. They're very subjective exceptions. I don't like subjectivity. It's difficult to ask an employee to assess a subjective situation. Oh, example. You cannot accept a gift if you think that person giving the gift uh is
expecting something in return. Better service from DPW for example. Um so we've created and what this uh resolution is all about. We've created working with our attorneys very specific as as unsubjective as possible language
that gives employees exceptions. So relatively small $25 of value gifts that cannot be gift cards that cannot be cash uh can't be tickets to ball games and things like that, but you can accept different types of food. Um, and I think
this is a a reasonably good compromise from where I was a couple months ago and and I'm personally very happy with it. U thank our attorney Alan Roth who put this together and went through it a few times with me and with Chief Arnold. Um,
dispatch will be happy. Chief, right here there. But any comments or questions from the council? I know that the um the resolution will be on the website, but where will the policy policy?
>> Yeah, we have we have an employee uh policy manual and it's this is this resolution is saying we're approving updating the policy manual. >> So, the public really doesn't have access to this. >> They it's a public document, but it's
it's guidance for our employees. Uh and and we also crafted like Q&A thing that we'll include with the manual that just says if you're given if you're in this situation do this. If you're in that situation do that. So I think we just have more clarity around the situation.
>> I mean but just for the public to really be clear about it. >> Public can ask. Yeah they can ask. I mean it's a employee manual but it's it's a public document. Anyone who wants to see it can but it's really to guide our employees.
Again the idea is everybody understands simple gift giving, simple thank yous, especially around the holidays, but there can be times where it may not be appropriate and we still need to communicate that. >> Is it reasonable to post this information somehow next year during
season so people kind of know and and you know the employees aren't put in an awkward position. >> Well, I I posted the policy this past year. It didn't go over well. Policy this year was no gifts. All right. >> So, yes. Absolutely. Yes.
>> Okay. Uh, no further questions. I'll make a motion that we do we do we approve this Did I vote on this? >> Okay. Keeps asking me these questions. >> I know. >> I'll make a motion that we approve 246-76. >> Second. Mr. Noble. >> Yes.
>> M. Greenwood. Yes. >> Mr. Clark. Yes. >> Mr. Miki. Yes. >> Mayor Gatosi. >> Yes. Okay. Item 12 on the agenda, announcements. There are none. Item 13A on the agenda. Our newly married business administrator who is very
tanned and looking very fit is has joined us. And do you have a report, sir? >> Uh, yes. Yes. Thank you very much. And yes, I did get married in St. Croy over the weekend. Uh, they did offer me that position as the St. Croy business administrator with a house on the beach, but I said
no. >> I'm gonna go back to Bradley Beach. >> Thank you. Um, one one thing I want I wanted to bring to everyone's attention. Um, you know, the mayor's directive to um empower the residents of Bradley Beachmore um has led us to work closely
with Gov Pilot and they have an app that you can put on your phone. Uh, it's called Gov Alert. G O V A L E R T Gov Alert. You can download it from App Store, whatever phone you use. Um, it allows you to report a concern
uh anywhere in town at any time in town. Um, what's nice about it is it filters through Gov Pilot and goes directly to either the Department of Public Works or it goes to code enforcement, goes to construction, it goes to the police department, or if it doesn't go to any
of them, it'll go to the business administrator. Um, so instead of having to go on to Facebook and report a problem or send an email to every member of the governing body, uh, who um, you know, this way you can take a picture of something and send it. You can write a
concern, you can write a description, not write a description, and it geolocates, um, where the the concern is coming from. So um so so it helps us get out to address again could be code enforcement
issue pw anything like that. So, um, this is live now. Um, um, we're going to get the word out about this more and more and and again, you know, look to continue to empower the residents here in Breton Beach. If you're not prepared, I can wing it,
but could you also add a comment about the public portal for, you know, looking at cos and things like that, which we just opened up. >> Yes. Yes. So, uh, I think folks know that we're going through a redesign of the website. Um but on the website right
now uh we've kind of hidden a bit uh on the website right now you can go into um the uh the homepage and in the homepage if you go to uh Burrow Hall and then
from there go to departments uh you will find a uh a link that you can click on to look at open permits. Um under the department it would be the um community development. So under
community development there is uh it says to click the status of permits click here. So um again it's a little challenging to get to right now. We're going to simplify that but it will allow as the mayor mentioned anyone in the
beach or outside of the beach to look up any address and see if there are any outstanding permits or what those permits may be. and also will show you the history of permits for which permits have been closed whether it's electrical, plumbing, structural, what have you. >> Uh folks may remember a few years ago
Bradley Beach five or six years ago perhaps now had uh access to the SDL portal and it was pretty easy to get to. I personally used it as a resident just to understand what was going on on house down the street or whatever. Uh but you could find out if construction was going
on, you could find out if permits were that kind of a thing. and uh it was shut down. Our bur access to that portal was shut down. Uh we found out that the pilot one has a very similar uh portal and we it is now
available. The problem only is it's three clicks to get to it. We're going to elevate it so it'll be very easy to find along with the complaints uh thing that you've already mentioned that we're going to have that easy to find on our website. But you can go to this
particular uh uh public portal and you can check the this status of cos and so forth. Also, Gov Pilot has acquired SDL and they tell us that in time they're going to migrate their platform from the
current one to the SDL platform. So, uh so I think all good things for the residents of Bradley Beach. uh we're just but we have to make it u e more easily accessible and that will come with Amy Baker who is in the process and she's tracking all this very closely and
she's in the process of revamping our website so thank you for that report sir appreciate >> thank you good to be back >> and we are now at may 13B which is mayor and council reports can I ask councilman the wiki to begin
>> thank you mayor first uh police activity report. Um, February 8th, Main Street and Highway 33, a 28-year-old male from Howell, New Jersey, was arrested and charged with hindering his own apprehension after he provided false information to officers during a traffic

outfall pipe that goes out underneath the beach to the ocean. People have been asking um you know what's the status there's no activity out there. uh they've had 50 weather delay days from norers and flooding to to uh free frozen
ground. Uh so we are actually in uh conversation with uh D currently to uh get an extension of the permit so they can get the work done here in March and April. So that's underway and and the contractors back out there um mobilized and and uh hopefully this warm weather
will stay here. We were also in conversation with the EP still on the um the outlet gate uh which is a replacement of the control structure at the lake. Um so we are um in conversation. Permits are still pending for that. We had to have a dam safety
permit and a individual wetland permit. So those are um under review and we're being told any day those should get approved. Either D will incorporate that project into the outall pipe or we'll go out with a separate contract. Um so we're waiting to D confirms what they're
going to be able to help us with. And then in the last U Silver Lake project of the uh bulkhead along Bradley Boulevard um permits were approved for that project and uh CE is currently um
finalizing designs and we are on schedule to um meet the deadline of April 11th I believe uh for we're intending to have that done before that but to meet that deadline for uh the funding um have it advertised and awarded by that
And then just really quickly on the sewer program, we have two projects that we're trying to advance here this this spring. Uh one is the Fifth Avenue completion from Madison to Ocean Avenue. And that those plans are under review right now by D. And so we're hopeful
that those will get approved and be able to advertise and complete Fifth Avenue construction this spring. Um, in addition, Ocean Park from uh Ocean Avenue to Madison, which will be the first piece of Ocean Park. Um, those plans are also under review by D. And
our hope is that we'll get those under construction and done by um um this spring or before summer or June. Uh so that's the status of my report. Mayor, >> thank you, sir. Um well Paul just for the public's you keep referring to the
dance safety permit and I think you should manage your curse tomorrow. So yes yes I don't understand myself I from referring to it as a dam. >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. Uh let me turn to

the squad requested no mutual aid for this period. Total volunteer hours were 51 and they fulfilled 100% of their assignments for the operational period. Of course, they're still looking for volunteers for the first day. They offer free training for qualified individuals, anyone wishing to volunteer for the
first aid squad. Applications can be found on the BO's websites and they are also accepting applications for their cadet program for young people 16 to 18 years of age who are interested in serving our community. I also know that um last meeting I had also made mention

mayor is going to mention this, but I want to thank the mayor and uh Mr. Arnon for getting the blinking lights on the Memorial Drive at the 4th Avenue intersection. >> Thank you very much. And yes, a special
thanks to director Arona and to the burough engine uh the county engineer Joe. They got the the light up right away. We're really excited about that. And then it took about three or four months to actually get it to blink, but now it is blinking. We have more stop signs and
blinking red lights, all kinds of caution signals and things painted. We really, we're doing everything in our power right now until they until they slow the speeds and the the volume of traffic on Memorial. We're doing everything we can in our power to just
make that a signal intersection. I've said this before, I'll say it again. As part of uh our outreach to the county, we said, "Look, we we keep having accidents at this corner." Sure enough, the the uh they did they went back over their records and they identified that
they're in 60 over five years, averaging 12 per year at that intersection. So, they were very willing to jump in and help us. They are doing the traffic slimming or diving or whatever they call it. Um, they've
already done it through Raspberry and they're coming, you know, through Bradley soon over over the I guess three years out. But um so they can't do more major changes now, but they're going to install bike lanes and things like that uh to make Memorial a safer place to to
drive. But at least for now, we do have a blinking light and I am very excited about that. Let me turn it to council president Jane Deov. >> Thank you, Mayor. The board of ed is having their meeting tonight. So I'll report on that at the next meeting. Shade Tree is also next month, but I do
want to uh mention chairperson Noel Weinberg has been working very hard for the spring planting. There's a $40,000 grant and there'll be approximately 70 trees planted throughout the burrow. So, I'll keep you posted on that. Tourism has did not have a meeting, but I do
want to mention the Jazz Fest. It was amazing. And I want to thank Amy Baker Baker for her incredible work, her energy, her talent. The the the talent that she brought to this community was
off the hook. I volunteered along with Julian Titus and Rya Warner and when you saw people walk out of that gymnasium or the auditorium at the school, the smiles, they were beaming. It was incredible. In fact, a man came from
Millville because they do something similar in Montlair at a cost of about $1 million, but they did cut back this year. They're doing it for $800,000. Amy Baker did this for 1% of that. She had admission. She had sponsors for
$8,000. She had six nights of entertainment. That was amazing. And I just want to read a couple quick letters. One from a Bradley resident. Hi, Mayor. I just want to let you how much Hela and I enjoyed Jazzfest. It was
amazing. I had a whole new appreciation for jazz. And what Amy Baker put together was absolutely phenomenal. Such incredible talent. We were just blown away. It is hard to pick my favorite. And he lists all the different acts that
he saw. And then he said, "Thanks again for making our choice in Bradley Beach, a decision we will never regret." and one from McGraley Beach Business. I just want to let you know you have a stellar employee on the firm staff. I'm
continually amazed by the sheer effort Amy Baker puts in and how many balls she can juggle at one time for Brady Beach. Amy has put the Jazzfest and Brady Beach on the map singlehandedly. Darcy's business saw an increase in
firsttime customers during the Jazzfest weekend and the show on Thursday was a unique and enjoyable experience at the tavern. Go Amy, go Brady Beach, Tom McIll. And that completes my report. Thank you. >> Thank you. And that was that feedback
was indicative of other businesses that uh Ela Room and Uba that all had great upticks in activity. Plus, it really is continuing to just put Bra Beach on the map. I think the the nature of that entertainment, the
cultural aspects of it that people just everywhere relate to. Um, it's a wonderful thing and Amy definitely deserves a number of congrats. Um, okay. I am the liazison to
the library and I I feel guilty because every time I try to give a library report, um, Our librarian, Ashley Bugley, gives me a list of about a thousand things that the library is doing this one month. And because I want to get everybody out of here before midnight, I'm not going to read that
list, but it's amazing. I'm blown away by what our library does. I'm going to read off a couple of things, but please, if you have young children, if you just if you if you want to spend time there just, you know, mingling with with others, go to their website. It's it's
amazing. a handful of things. They have a winter reading program uh that that actually closes at the end of this month, but uh but you can go there throughout the throughout the month of February. Uh they get a little contest, you can win prizes, but it's also just,
you know, good camaraderie. Uh they have weekly events. Monday, bring your kids for Lego building and games. Thursdays, they have crafts. At first, I thought I said craft, but it's crafts, so that's good. Thursdays um uh through March
12th, they have chair yoga at 5:30m and uh Monday 23rd they have an event called the art roulette and it they basically you form teams and you p you start a piece of art pass it to the next person to the next person and by the end
of the process you've got a community work of art. Anyway, they just find a lot of really creative unique things to do and it's a relatively untapped resource I think within the local beach. So, please check out their uh website if
you have any interest at all. Also, um we are likely to have a the Second Avenue Grill Concession is is open for bidding. Uh the the current vendor is not likely to uh renew his contract. So, just get the word out if anyone you know
wants to sell hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, something else at the beach in the summer. Uh, please let those people know to reach out to Bur Hall for Second Avenue Grill location. Um, I was going to comment briefly on Justice. I I won't jam, you did a great job with it, but it
was an amazing event. Um, two two unique dates that are coming up for Bradley Beach this year. Uh, July 26th, we are planning and Amy Hall is involved in this. We were planning on doing working with our fire company planning to recognize the Brinley in fire. Uh July
26 is the anniversary of this historic fire. It unfortunately killed over 20 people. Uh but and Howard Fire Company responded to it and uh you know ultimately put the fire out. Uh,
nonetheless, many lives were lost and because of this fire, uh, new safety regulations were were developed u in the state of New Jersey. So, it's kind of a historic landmark fire, if you will, because of all the new safety
regulations that came with it. We're going to try to recognize it probably at uh at our town green on July 26th. There's another date coming up that I just found out about today. Paul is also already on
this. But October 11th, 2026 marks the 100year anniversary of what event? Does anybody know? That would that would bring us to what? 1926? >> What? >> October 11th.
>> October 11th. >> 11th. >> Uh October 11th, 2026. >> Prohibition. the legendary Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees played a game u you
know a makeup game uh against I believe a Negro League team and they played it here in Bradley Beach and someone uh a grandson or son of someone who was the umpire where where >> I don't know I want to find out but uh
but anyway it's it's kind of a you know he's got newspaper clippings and all kinds of information about it. So, we're going to find out more and hopefully we can have a little fun with that come October 11th. So, anyway, that said, that concludes my report. Now, let me open it up to the public for comments or
questions. >> I'm sure there's a lot of >> I know >> it's probably John Weber 313 Lorraine. Uh, I got a lot. So, do not answer any of my questions until my time is done and we can answer that first. >> I'll put that. Thank you.
>> Thank you for the redo on Rona because I I am still not I know you suggested this in in July in early in January and I'm just not used to the speed and efficiency of the Googles administration and you just had it on for that last meeting in in January and I didn't even we weren't ready for it. So, thank
>> we had a band running. We had a band. We had so much um something and and I actually came to talk about you got to change the ordinance to get people to remove the snow at the corners and look at you guys again speed and efficiency. This is amazing. Uh this one I think you need
some help with. U skip the stuff. We passed a law. It's going into effect. You said March 1st and I'm wondering what the town is doing in terms of education. U I identified some educational materials. I passed them along. What are we doing? Do we have a
plan? Because unless the town doesn't want to force it as as March 1st as we said. So there's no note in that. Uh I'm really glad that there was nothing on the agenda about the New Jersey packed and real rules
that there wasn't a a resolution against this. Uh I'm still waiting to get the resolution that you were considering because I would love it to have the environmental commission weigh in on that. So would that be forthcoming? >> Louis, Mr. Clint, are you sure? Have you not I guess that
>> uh we have our own for the language court >> which will be presented on Thursday. >> Okay. So you >> due to the due to the home rule by the press but you know you have your own I believe so >> but I will share mine with Mr.
>> Well it's okay. I knew you were sharing it with the lamb board and I thought you might with Mr. Bagley as a representative of the department. >> Sure. But John, I can get you the draft we have now, which by the way is a work in progress. >> So, but I'll get it to you just so you >> especially if you want to hear from us
and I claim any any of that time. Um, >> I want to ask about the status of the plant protection strips so everybody knows what we're talking about. Along the beach, there's a supposed post and rope system and then there's these signs about, you know, endangered species and
protecting the dunes. Um, post and rope's kind of generous. It's more like a stick and a string. Uh, and such they kind of were weren't really no I mean they were installed in 2021 or 2022 for free. A crew came here and did that. Um they came back in May of 2025 and
reerected the ones that had fallen down and that was another freebie. But for whatever reason by June of last year that most of them were down. So in August I had somebody come here from uh or go come on Zoom from Conserve Wildlife Foundation explaining what
these plant protection strips are all about. Um and that the expectation was that the would take over, you know, putting these things up and it wasn't, you know, we wouldn't have to get these crews to come in and do this for free. It's kind of on us. Um, he also explained how we can avoid some really
drastic uh regulations to protect endangered species at the beach if we keep these plant protection strips in place. So, last summer I identified better material, more robust, and it happens to be the same stuff that we use to mark out the life around the
lifeguards. It's like post and rope system that's a little it's not so much a stick and a string it's actually a post and a rope and they put around lifeguard stands so people don't set their chairs up there so I identified last summer like let's get a whole lot more of that stuff like basically a half
a mile of that stuff and that's what we can use for the post and ro protection strips so I would like to ask are we going to order those materials and why don't you wait till the end to answer so so I can get through the rest of this >> I want your turn if it's up >> I know um Uh, and another thing, this me
speaking personally, I would like the town to make it the policy of this town to not use heavy equipment to push sand out of our beach entrances, uh, because that just makes our town less safe. It, you know, loosens up the sand so it's going to blow away faster.
Plus, you know, we have programs for where people plant grass in the dunes. I mean, you know, we have grasses in classes in the school with the American Literal Society to teach kids how these dune plants hold the dunes together and that protects the town. And then what are we supposed to tell the kids when they see
bulldozers just like bulldozing that stuff and the plants that they planted and all that stuff out to the beach? I think it's a really bad idea. So I'd like the town to make it the policy of the town to not do that and I'd be happy to work with you on such a uh resolution or whatever you want to make it. Um and
I have a question now on the shade tree ordinance that you just introduced. People have a year to plant that tree. So, is the expectation that that green factor would stay in the window for a year? >> Okay. And then um and that's fine. I just want to make sure. And then I want
to double check. So, there is the expectation if you're doing construction, they're supposed to have that yellow thing. >> Yep. It's the corner. >> Okay. >> Yellow. >> Um Okay. And then wow, that was it. I was going to say something about Mayor Grinch. Mayor
Gubossi sounds a lot better than Mayor Grinch. So, it's good that you made that resolution 76. That was a big move. >> That's it. Now, now you can ask my questions. >> Oh, you're running out of time, John. Five minutes. >> Well, uh, some of a lot of your questions are around skip the stuff, no
planning to date that I'm aware of unless enterprise >> Yeah. I mean, I know fire, but I haven't heard of it. >> No. So anyway, so the u the um all of the material whether on social media
that we talked about or flyers is Amy Baker's domain now that she she had requested that just let me get through the jazz fest. So she's on my radar this week and I will let you know how it goes. >> Okay. Awesome. And I don't think we're I mean John I recall when he was sitting
in Mitch's seat you you yourself were saying >> Mitch is sitting in my seat by the way. >> Now he is but uh but now we call him Mitch's seat is >> but back in the in the day I I recall you saying we don't need a lot of communication but we need to keep people
aware. You said a lot of people are doing this already anyway. >> So a couple businesses definitely are for sure. Um I was thinking about businesses and also I mean I think I want the public to know it better. So fewer instance of people getting home like hey I don't have forks or you know
I mean again if they're bringing it home they probably don't need forks but just to minimize all that I think it's getting public >> and Amy is as we've mentioned a few times over the last month or so is in the midst of redesigning our website making it much more functional with little banners and whatever is ADA compliant. Uh, and I'm sure there would
be an opportunity to post periodically updates like that. So, that should be >> perfect. Um, real as I mentioned, I'll get you in the draft. It's u from a novices standpoint, it looks
really scary. So, I'm really anxious to learn more from you to understand why it's a wonderful thing. >> Um, I'll give you that. Uh, but it is a it is a work in progress. So, we very much can change it. The council's familiar with the current draft, but I've asked them for comments as well. I
think one or two of them have made themsel as well. We'll try to go to one or two seminars on it as well. >> Um, and the planet protection strips. Uh, I like the idea of something more sturdy because the things you had out there from the volunteers was like it was like
>> no str but I like what you're saying. My issue and I talked to you about this and we just have to work through it is well one does it go all the way around the dunes because then we're also talking about >> well it never has so I don't think that's the expectation >> so it's only on the beach side >> well you know I think into the entrances
which should >> and the and the concern I have and I want I'm just I'm just I've already said this to you I was saying it for the public's benefit um I just want to understand working with federal regulations working with the environmentalists such as yourself that
We don't create a scenario where we ultimately where the do is just take over the beach >> because you know this 10% thing could the doom could conceivably grow and grow and grow every year to the point where it's 10% of 10 ft because let's get it back up and then worry about that later.
Well, you have to worry about the dunes taking over the beach. Your beach is getting smaller from the other side because the sea level is rising. So remember that. So the more sand is in the dunes when as that happens like the better off that we are. >> So just better off we are but but not
not the beach goer who has no beach sand to sit on. So we're trying to figure out how we how we make the ecosystem work. >> If you're open to talk I talked to somebody today who's got a PhD in this stuff they would love to talk if you want to talk to them. Um it's not the dunes going eastward are not your
problem. That's not your problem. And I mentioned to you earlier uh and I'm sure you'll help us through this, but the Aio Capone, our director of DPW, said he already is concerned that the dudes are going too in a couple of locations so close together that we may not be able to put fit a 10 foot.
>> But that's ridiculous because the entrances are as wide as this room. >> Well, that's what I need. I haven't >> getting wider mats, but I don't think that is wide. Like >> is that before or after the the sheet? >> Well, that's what they are now. All I'm saying is I hear you and we need
to work on it. We need to come up with a solution. I do like the idea of the uh sturdy ropes stakes. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Mitus clear. We'll get to you in a minute.
>> Uh Judy Nutus, 605 North Avenue. Um, first and foremost, I do want to uh say that the Jazz Fest was amazing and I'm glad I got to volunteer two years in a row and seeing it grow. And boy, the weather always is always a challenge um at this time of year, but um it seems
like Jazzfest is turning into jazz week. So, um but kudos to Amy and it was just so nice seeing some of the people who were there last year and everything and a lot of good camaraderie and being a host to se see seating people. People were just so excited about it. So it it
was a wonderful wonderful event. So thank you for that. Um secondly, I want to thank um Mayor Al, the police department and DPW for all the work cleaning up North Avenue. Um it was a disaster and uh kind of like a state of
emergency on our street. Um as everybody knows, you couldn't even get down the street. So I do want to thank everybody. Um DPW took the initiative even before um our street was a like a skating rink and they brought out the heavy duty equipment to skim this the street. Um
this was even prior to even neighbors you know calling up the mayor. Um so thank you for that watching Andrew maneuver this uh tractor like a sports car and you got to see it. It was hysterical but thank you to that and then thank you again for all the
clearance that you um just did as well. It was greatly appreciated because you took me to get down the street and it really was a safety measure. Um, with that being said though, um, I do um, want to talk about the introduction of the ordinance. I believe it's 2610 about
the snow removal and I'm all about accountability whether it's neighbor um, you know, the homeowners, commercial property owners, myself, residents, whomever it is, you have to clean your sidewalks and everything else. So you, you know, and move your car, and I applaud the town for taking that
initiative and really enforcing those um uh laws um and ordinances. Um the the I I think it's a challenge. It's not a complaint. It's a challenge when I was reading the um ordinance today about on the corners of trying, you know, a
homeowner, and I'm just talking about the residential area, trying to clean those corners. Once you plow, and we know even with our driveways, it becomes a sheet. It's it's a wall and it it's like you can't get through it. So, I think though that something has to be done where on the corners when you're
plowing, maybe they can't make the the um piles real high on the corners. Maybe we got to really rethink of how do we plow so that there is access. I I always think you can always do something better, right? It's like you're always an evolution and and how can we do
things because you physically cannot move the ice and the snow? You just can't. And and the only way it can be moved if someone if it's plowed and someone has to, it's their responsibility to try to get an opening so somebody can cross there, you
physically just can't do it. And um that is my concern is like maybe we need to talk about that a little more. And I think I'm sure DPW probably has thought about it, but I don't think you can pile up the snow on the corner. Maybe you got to push it off to the corner. Um, so I think there has to be a strategy of
where you plow and how you plow because um, a homeowner would have to hire like a bobcat, a a tractor to come there to move it because a snowblower is not going to do it and you physically just can't chip away at it. So I think we have to start giving some thought to
that and I think it's a good challenge to have you know it's like let's process and and think about how can we all work together. Um, also it's, you know, when when, and this this is another thing is like when they're plowing the street and again most, you know, people who have
driveways, it's you're standing out there and the the plow comes and we all go through this and you're plowed back in and then you're stuck in the driveway and it's like what you do. And I think and and I do believe that there's equipment. I know we all saw that tractor online. I think Jane looked into
the equipment. obviously not affordable or something like that, but I do think that there is other like a a shovel on front of the plows that you could put in that can help maneuver because it is becoming a hardship um to then reshuffle your driveway because then we're all
stuck and we and I know all property owners offer to their neighbors or whatever to park your cars and then you're stuck in the driveway and then you're back outside again trying to move it and again once you plow it becomes ice and boulders. and and if you move your your snow on the sides, then you
got a boulder comes into your driveway and it's like, how do I move that? And unfortunately, you know, people are going to have health issues. I'm going to have a heart attack, stroke or doing this. But to think that someone just can hire somebody to to do that, that's not feasible. Nor was there, you know, I
know this was a once in a 10year storm, but nor was there enough of of people out there plowing and shoveling and everything to help out people. So I think as we're plowing and maybe matt you know conversations with DPW and again it's not a complaint it's a topic of discussion how can we maneuver
because if you're on the Parkway in the turnpike I don't know if anybody's ever seen when they plow the three roads they're staggered maybe there's something where we can follow they could scoop in and that a driveway is not so parked and then the corners are not so
plowed up but we got to come together and work something out there because it is a hardship for everybody. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh on that note, because you're you're voicing concerns that million people have raised, so thank you for voicing that.
>> Uh I I just want to say on behalf of the Burma employees, I'm talking to police, I'm talking about OEM, I'm talking about DPW, but Bradley Beach, we we're not normal
Alaska. We don't have staff to cover a super heavy snowfall the way we would like. The way everybody's driving to be cleared. Uh you mentioned that one arm thing that people were affordable. >> I must have got that. No, it's it's $180,000. It's affordable. It breaks all
the time. >> People People have told me who have looked into it makes no sense. By the way, you spend it, it looks really pretty. It looks really good as long as there's no snow. But as soon as you get a heavy snow, uh, it it breaks. And to use it when it's not broken, you have to
drive like two miles per hour because you got to be very precise at the beginning and the end of the driveway. These plows get ahead of steam, make it five or 10 or whatever miles per hour to move the snow. I've been told with heavy snow, with those boulders of ice that you're talking about, if you slow that
plan out too too slow, it can't move. It can't push the snow. And to say that And on any given shift, five or six or seven DPW employees could somehow run around with a little Bobcat thing or two and clear every single corner. They can't
not not in a in a reasonable amount of time. Um, so it is ultimately I I love what you said. You said give it thought. I can tell you because I've sat in the middle of these conversations. B gives a thought in the middle of
snowstorm a lot. I mean hours spend me spending time with Paja with Chief Arnold. Um you know to your point there are there are fixes we can engineer where we get out to Newark after because cars could not
move down and you highlighted that to us. Others did as well. A couple of the north south streets I forget which ones but we did go out and do special hits but we can't clear every corner lot. People said I I know it's on Facebook. I get text messages. Um people said,
"Well, if they clear the the the handicap ramp at the corner to the curb, um the the plows leave 8 ft of snow in the street and they and the homeowner can't be expected to clear 8 ft into the street." 100% agreed. In that situation,
DPW, our people have got it cleared. The problem is when they clear it because of the way the plow works and they're going five or seven miles an hour, it does push a lot of stuff back into the truck. Am I saying we can't do better? No. We I hope we can do better. But I don't want
people to think we don't sit around thinking about this a lot and trying to figure it out. And again, if we were in Alaska, if we were in Siberia, we'd have tons of equipment and we'd all be ready. Residents would all be ready. We're sitting in Bradley Beach. We 10 inches
of snow. I don't know, once every five or seven years, I don't know, but it doesn't happen often. We can't staff for this level of snow. So, I know I sound like, you know, a naysayer, but we're very sensitive to this. We, our people
do everything they can, but I don't know that we're going to have a perfect solution. as you were describing these things and many other residents describe I just have to I just have to add a word of caution or a word of you know
restraint because I don't want people to think after you've eloquently told us what needs to be done that we're going to be able somehow >> I'm not telling you what to be done I'm I'm asking to like we need to maybe think about things that that it's it's a discussion >> we keep thinking you and others can
bring us actual answers because all of our thinking, you see what what all of our thinking delivers. >> When a storm hits, it's an opportunity to revisit things. And unfortunately, as you know, we we got trapped on our street. We got trapped in our driveways. We got trapped on in our streets and it
was a fire truck or or paramedics could not come down and you guys addressed it and and I'm not so the whole thing is I'm not complaining. I'm just asking >> No, no, you're not complaining. I'm trying to educate everybody. you've given me this opportunity.
People were trapped on your street. We had to send not individuals that I'm aware of, but I know cars could not move up and down your street. I know our own garbage and recycling could not move up and down. I know the problem was because I talked to Baja Kapone, the director of public works. Shortly after that snow,
we couldn't get down your street because Newark was one of the worst streets for people not moving their cars. >> Yeah. >> And it's a narrow street and to your point, many don't have driveways. But if you if people don't move their cars, we're very limited in what we can do. And then I know because people tell me
this. It used to be on Facebook earlier and right before the snow, oh, Bradley Beach never enforces. Well, Bradley Beach went out and enforced as much as they could. Then the comments were, oh, these fines uh the fines aren't enough
because um you know, people would rather just pay the fine and move their cars. in a meeting or two, people are all going to see we're increasing fines. Now, there's only so much we can do. The chief tried to bring in um tow trucks to move the cars that sat there over 48
hours or covered in snow. Tow trucks won't move a parked car if it's covered in snow. They need somebody to dig it out of the snow and then they'll tow it. I probably shouldn't say that publicly because now people know their cars towed. But we are doing
everything in our power um to to make heavy snowfalls at Bradley Beach sustainable. And if people can come up with new ideas, new one-armed machines that actually work, we'll we'll consider anything and everything. It's just I want people to understand our employees,
DPW police in particular, are knocking themselves up trying to figure out how to, in fact, not only how to do it better, but everything I've heard from neighboring municipalities, uh, Spring Lake and Avon and Belar that our roads were way better than these
other local municipalities. So, I don't know. I didn't myself, but I recurring comments from our residents were so much better than everybody else. So, I'm very proud of them. I think we can all do better, but I just want to set expectations that we've exhausted a lot
of what we can do >> and they did fabulous. They I mean to be pleased that you could tell a Mr. You guys took care of us big time. So, thank you. >> Any other comments or complaints? Yes, Mr. Sharp. >> Sorry.
>> Oh, no problem. >> I had to get snow out of my system. >> Well, I'm afraid I'm going to bring you that same thought again. >> Uh oh. Peter Shark 3012nd Avenue. Uh again about pending Ordinance 10. Uh specific question and perhaps a comment.
Um as you envision this ordinance um at the corners we have two camps in very close proximity to each other. When you think about what you're going to ask the homeowner to do, are you going to ask them to clear just one path out to the
street and out to the world beyond or are you going to ask him to clear both paths? It's property owners. So it could be our main businesses as well, but property owners need to clear both of those paths. Why? >> Why? >> One path will get you out into the
street into the world beyond. Why do a excessively redundant removal for no real purpose? >> Why do we have the two baths to begin with? >> Well, on nice sunny days when everybody's out there walking, that's fine. But one path would get you where
you need to go and some wear and tear on some of your homeowners. >> I don't know if you're in a wheelchair, if you're just limited mobility. I I I understand what a hardship it appears to be to a person with quite a lot. Honestly, that's been our law. That's
how we've been forced to date. >> That was my question. Here's my comment. Um when the snow plows come by, that corner snow gets really packed in. And I don't know if you've seen what the guys
DPW does at the intersections. And let me preface this remark by saying I have the greatest respect for the work they do. They work hard. They do a good job. And this is no way a criticism of them. But what they'll do is they'll get to an intersection and they'll go to one
corner facing the opposite corner. They'll build up speed and they'll hit that uh snow there, hit it pretty hard and compact it even further. and they'll go around to all four corners of the intersection and do it that way. So, by the time the poor
homeowner gets out there with his snow shovel, it's pretty hopeless. I mean, I had to uh go back trade my snow shovel in for a garden spade and just chip away at that stuff for hours. That's why I'm asking if you're looking for better ideas, maybe a better idea
would be to just be a single path out to the street and the rest of the world instead of this redundant path that really serves no practical purpose. >> This could just chime in here as well. So at those intersections there are crosswalks, right? So we're going to use
some less. So the idea is we t cross one indicating the middle. >> No, not the middle. Just pick one of the others. >> Well, then if you have one, then you have only to go west to go around the
bump of snow and you're free to go wherever you want to in the world. >> Right. I'm just saying the rational to why you have to clear out both sides because they're both leading to >> also say we're talking about we'll get over a foot of snow. you know, a
snowfall two feet, two two inches, three inches. We say only clear one. >> Well, that's no problem. Everybody be happy to clear both. >> So, so you understand the problem we have is we're looking at we're looking at this drastic snowfall that happens once in 10 years versus, you know, if
you write the ordinance the other way, oh, just clear one side. Then what happens when you have, you know, two inch snow? I don't have to do that because the ordinance says I don't have to. >> Hopefully, do that. >> Well, they might. So, so that's why you write the ordinance in a way to be able to address the issue. And when you have
a, you're right, when you have two feet of snow, you got a problem at home. >> And just clearing out to the curb line for a homeowner and having to do that, that sounds like a fail because you let nobody get access out to the street in the world beyond. If you just tough it out and get the rest of the way for a
single path, then people can move free wherever they want. If I have to hack out two paths to go halfway, I've accomplished nothing. >> Well, if you're making it to the curb, that is the responsibility of the B to get the rest of the street portion. So,
let's say there's 3 ft of snow piled up on the street. Maybe it's even overflowing on your property, right? But you get it to the curb, it is a responsibility. >> Yeah, I know it's that responsibility, but I've not done any of my neighbors any good by getting two halfway pads as
opposed to single path. >> Well, I do appreciate your comments. I'm not sure even legally we could endorse that, but I but I do appreciate >> presented from a practical point of view. I don't know what the realities are, but just a voice or a better idea
perhaps. >> We're all very stressed and strained by the dump of snow that we have. >> Oh, yeah. I agree. It's a tough problem. There's no good solutions. Um, but you know, there may be things we can do to make life better for everybody. >> We will talk to DPW. These guys are
experts at what they do, but we'll at least say, is there a way we can plow towards a certain area of the street that minimizes the amount of snow we leave, you know, blocking specific entrances. There may be some things we can do just to slow down the process. We
direct the snow better. >> Yeah. I'm not trying to add to their worries. you have enough uh troubles at the boy. That's some of the toughest digging you have to do when it's all packed in like that. >> Yeah. Thank you for your comments. >> Okay. Thank you all. >> Other comments or questions? >> Yes, sir. Mr. West,
>> uh Bob 58. Uh just a quick comment question about the uh 2026-9 uh regarding verbiage and not the verbiage that you said work out in it when especially when it comes to
adoption. You know, you have these zones, let's say AH1, H5, whatever. To people out here, it's like where is that? >> You know, what does that mean? Is that a landing zone in the beach or you know?
>> So could that just be added a little word to that to say yeah this is you know this block you know from to cave uh you know whatever to just so we could understand what these zones are where they are
>> without going into big detail you know specific >> Mr. Clark has maps that he's done for that purpose. However, our clerk just told us the weekend that uh our ecosystem might not be able to uh display the maps. Like we can download
it, but maybe it doesn't display. Is that right, Erica? >> Yeah, >> it's hard to display. >> It's hard to display the map. >> So, we're we're on the same track and maybe we can verbally describe it. >> It's kind of hard to see here. >> To sum it up though, it's it's Main Street. Yeah, it's all up and down.
>> West of Main Street, but we ask the same questions. >> We could probably add more verbage. >> Yeah, just west of Main Street between >> this street and that street. >> As long as it's dimminimous because if we do anything to dramatically change
this introduction. >> Yeah, I mean, >> we'll have to get reintroduced. >> Mr. Clint, I'm sorry. Just were you going to comment on it? >> Oh, there'll be a map at the meeting on Thursday. >> Okay. >> And we're hoping we believe there's going to be a placeholder in the
ordinance and e code so that we can put in there just like we do the zoning map and the zoning schedule we'd like it to be. So, we're working on that, but there will be a map for the l on Thursday night. >> Thank you. >> Can we display the map at the next
meeting when we're discussing it? >> We can. Yeah, of course. I think uh the bigger challenge is can can how do we display it on an ongoing basis? So, you know, two months from now, two years from now, the contractors looking at the zones. >> That's what Mary, if you'd like, we
could probably put on the website. >> I suggested that earlier. >> Yeah. And you know, maybe you could. >> Anyway, thank you. Any other comments or questions? We had to approve first. So >> any anyone on Zoom?
I see no. Okay. So seeing no further comments or questions, I'll make a motion to adjourn. >> Second. All in favor? >> I thank you. I believe they can do soap
in the beach for $110. They say it was a Brooklyn royal
