>> Mr. Nikki excused. Mayor Koszi >> here. >> Good evening ladies and gentlemen, folks on Zoom. Um, welcome to our first 5:30 p.m. start time meeting, possibly ever, not sure, but certainly over the past
six years that I've been around. Uh, so we, as we mentioned in earlier conference, uh, earlier council meetings, we're going to give this a shot and see how it works for our residents, for our council members, for our employees. But, but in any event, hopefully it gets us all out every council meeting a little earlier than
historic historically. Um, first thing we have on our agenda after roll call is item number five, workshops. And we've asked our own Lauren Cosy to make a workshop presentation not only to the council but to our residents about an idea she is
spearheading really on behalf of the burrow and be perhaps on behalf of the elementary school. So Lauren, can I turn over to you? I was trying to present it in teams for reason. So that's why >> do I have presentation?
>> Oh, you need to be made. >> I think I need to be made up. I got it. >> Unless she needs it in front of her, but then she can see it. >> Yeah. Is it just >> Yeah, I got that. That's
>> if it's not there. Okay. You You have to plug that into here >> and then give it up on there and share it with them. >> Yeah. >> We've never done it that way before. >> Uh, okay. I thought that >> Sorry.
The wider share. >> Choose I'll park. There you go. >> Okay. Hold on. Michelle, >> hold on. >> Just hope nobody hacks in. That was cool. You should be able to share
I just want to show this. Yeah, go ahead. >> It's okay if I just do it this way. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Sorry about this little delay. How are you? Yeah, >> I guess it's put in present mode.
>> Okay. >> And uh I'll I'll be your space part. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Go ahead. >> Okay. >> Just be >> Thank you. Okay.
Thanks for your patience everyone. Um, okay. So, uh, thank you first of all for the opportunity, the invite to come, um, speak on this project idea. Um, I've been a resident of Bradley Beach for nine years. Um, and like many people in
this area, I walk and bike um, as a primary source of transportation throughout the town and our adjacent shore town. So, um, that is really root of how I ended up with this project. Um, I uh started investigating some
different ways that this town could elevate the pedestrian experience while also energizing the community. Um, so prior to sharing this proposal with you all in December, um, I did spend a few months socializing this idea with um,
some residents, some community members, and also, you know, just working with the police department. um Chief Arnold specifically um just to ensure that this project was made feasible um from a traffic and safety regulation um perspective. So it did change a little
bit um throughout some of those conversations and throughout those findings um and that is how we ended up here today with this intersection mural art idea supporting safety and enhancing community vibrancy. Okay. So, uh these are a few key topics.
I'll summarize and I can expand on some of these as we um you know move through them or once presentation's over. >> Um introduction. Okay. So, Bradley Beach is a very distinct community. We have a real opportunity to enrich the daily
experience of both residents and our many many visitors um through public art. So, one way to introduce new public art to Bradley Beach is through mural creation at some of our intersections.
This is also as artificial. >> Can everyone hear? >> Oh, hi Okay. Um, okay. Uh, benefits. What are the benefits of implementing intersection mural art safety? I
referenced the asphalt art study published in 2022. Um, and that confirms this practice provides traffic coming measures, improve driver awareness, um, and promotes safer driving and pedestrian zones, essentially increase safety for
both driver and pedestrian. community benefits. Uh this is a pretty low overhead strategy that can have a significant impact on community unity, pride, and energy. Um and the root of my motivation and why I'm here tonight is that public art is engaging, it's
memorable, and it's fun, right? So, I think that's that's really why I'm here. I think it'd be a really fun community project. I think it's something that we could have a lot of um a lot of reach out to a lot of different groups and also, you know, bring that back Okay. Areas of focus, which I'm sure is
a strong interest for this um for this topic. I have two locations that I've personally identified. Um I see opportunity for mural art to benefit these locations based on what I I um experience with my frequency traveling
up and down H Avenue specifically. Um focus area a I do have two children at Bradley Elementary School. twice a day. So, the location at Fifth Avenue is a irregularly shaped intersection. It is a primary pick up
and drop off location for prek through fourth grade students and encourage high volume of pedestrian um and vehicle traffic at those times. Um one block just south of there is the other focus area that's at 4th Avenue. Um and this
is the intersection of the library and St. James Church. Um the public library is also the school's library resource, which I don't think everyone realizes. Um, but this means that it's regularly visited by school classes during the day. So, they take walking trips from
the school to the library. Um, and additionally, the library has extensive programming, which is amazing, and often occurs in afternoons um after school and is targeted to school population. So, there's quite a bit of um after school traffic that's traveling from the school
to the library regularly. And these are just some like zoomed in versions for those of you who want like another angle. But uh so looking north, this is right by the school playground, Fifth Avenue. The original idea was to target Brinley. Uh that
through some of my feasibility study, we realized with being a county road, we were not able to alter that area. We didn't have some, you know, as much leeway in being able to create some creative um spaces there. So, brought that um idea down to this, which is also
a very heavily trafficked intersection. It's also a very strange intersection because of the way it's laid out. So, this actually gives a nice um a nice size campus for us to put some artwork down on as well. Um next, and just
another Fourth Avenue. So, this is the library. Um you can kind of in the street level looking north, you can see the in the distance there. That's one block north. So, same thing. We have, you know, a really nice um a nice
intersection here to add some artwork to. So through the process of thinking about this project and socializing it and talking to many of the people that I thought would be interested and engaged and frankly resourceful um for this um
we've come up with this group of people. I started my conversation on this project idea with Dr. Hedleberg, principal and superintendent at Bradley Beach Elementary who was very excited. He was actually the initial um he was
the one who initially suggested also targeting the library intersection. And from there I ended up reaching out to the chief of police here Bradley just to you know understand if we could do this project before I started roping in a whole bunch of resources in people's
time. Um through that I then ended up speaking with Ashley Poglia in the library and ultimately ended up um also working with u who is the brother beach art teacher and Courtney Walston who owns seaw wall
architecture as um more of our subject matter experts in terms of public art and design experience. uh other key participants. There's a lot of different directions I foresee this project moving. I would really like to
um collaborate with other populations within the community. If we could get students involved in terms of inspiration, community members, um you know, resources within the library and school specifically as it's targeting those intersections, it would be great to generate some of the art inspiration
from those populations. And one thing I wanted to just make sure that we highlighted in this um in this proposal is our library our I'm sorry our school art teacher Bradley art teacher for 20 years.
She's right here in the back row. Um so I wanted to highlight her as a primary member of this project specifically. Um you know not only is she involved in the community and with our student population but she would She has a strong connection with public art in
contributing to various projects in Asbury um throughout see now and the walls project and I put some of her uh accomplishments up on her resume is extensive and active and I think we could really leverage a lot of her
talent and her connections to the artistic community um to ensure that this project not only was done but was done efficiently and the best talent she could and budget and funding. So, at this time there isn't there isn't
a fully baked budget ready to roll. Um, I came up with this idea and I really had no concept of how much it would cost or what funding would be available to this project
either from the town or the resources. But I knew that um I was committed to investigating grants uh comm uh community fundraising donations to support this project. You know, my hope is that the town would be interested in financially supporting um some of this
work. However, if that's not the case, I would want to investigate other means to move this forward um for what it is and not have it be stalled or halted because of money. I think that's a resource that we could figure out um one way or
another. So that's we're the budget and I've also been working with Mr. Zeo as well to understand you know what in terms of resources um ways to leverage some of the municipalities have relationships with paint suppliers um and can get
those for discounted prices. at least a few ways that we could make the budget, you know, stretch. And then in conclusion, what kind of what I've already talked about here, but by investigating and artistically enhanced intersections, we
can protect our citizens, enhance walkability of our neighborhood, foster a creative, more unified community. That's it. Thank you. give the u the council a chance to ask a few questions then we'll open up to the
audience and before I even ask the council I was going to chief put you on the spot a little to comment. >> Sure. Um when Lauren first approached me I I love the idea. I think it's it's great for the school. Um I think it does provide a nice safety aspect there. Uh
on behalf of the town I just wanted to look into liability uh issues. I talked to the engineer, our town's attorney, so on so forth. Red Bank has done a little bit of this pavement artwork in their jurisdiction. So, I reached out to the
police department there. Um, it seems like, and I spoke to Lauren, um, as long as it doesn't impede on any traffic control devices, and when I say traffic control devices, I don't mean like traffic lights. that does include uh crosswalks,
um signage, you know, any pavement markings that are controlling traffic. So, as long as it doesn't impede on that, um you know, it should be fine. And I think it does, like I said, you know, add the visibility, could increase safety, especially with the kids around
school there. So, I love the idea. And then, you know, if it's approved, then we'll talk about, you know, distances from some of those traffic control devices. But other than that, you know, I like the idea. >> All right. Thank you, Chief. Let's open up to questions from the council.
>> Um, I have a couple questions. First of all, thank you so much for your presentation. I've worked with Jen before. He was also an art major, so this is right up my alley. Um, I I do have a few questions as far as um maintaining it, how would it be maintained, and who would do that? So
that is one of the one of the items that would go into the budget and funding. So yeah, long-term um maintenance is something that we if project were to move forward, that would become part of the budget extension. One
thing that um Mr. Zel and I did talk about was if we were to um have this approved, maybe we would request help from DPW. And that would be essentially if we the intersection balance of the
project is painted white, they would help with that or if we we don't really know because we don't know if this project is moving forward. So, I guess long-term maintenance would be done by the artists, but initial maintenance we could certainly use some support from the town, >> right? Because I I've looked at other towns and they did have issues with
fading, weather damage, tires and oil leaks and sun exposure and snow plows. They said really did >> a really a lot of damage on these. And um also I wanted to know, oh this is one town they had what they called museum
loitering where people were actually going into the intersection and taking selfies and children playing in the intersection because it was like an attractive nuisance. So the kids were attracted to it. And I would wonder if you ever consider doing something like
this in the school playground where there's a lot of laptop and it could be a cooling device as well as maybe an educational component. I am certainly open to adding public art wherever the town allows it. I would
prefer to see it someplace that's more visible to the community, but I'm also open to suggestions and some art. >> And then I I noticed with the art that you had, it was pretty much like nature
or geometric. What was the idea of what what kind of art you imagined? >> Well, uh that is another conversation that we were talking about. I thought it would be nice if both the school population, the library andor community had some input on the artwork. um you
know somewhat like a some kind of like think tank or workshopping moment where perhaps there was opportunity for the community to generate things like what colors do you think of? What are some words that you think of? What do you think of when you think of our community
and then you know leveraging those key pieces or criteria into a piece of artwork. So generating the inspiration from you know the the groups that you know are participating in that. >> Okay. And I have a question actually for the chief. I I noticed in those pictures
that the lines are just lines for the crosswalks and I know sometimes we hatch out crosswalks. >> We are. So, as you know, they had that big project on Fifth Avenue which they're still not totally complete. They still have to do the pavement work. So, they will be uh hatched.
>> Okay. >> Like a ladder crosswalk. >> Yes. >> It will be like that when they come back in the spring to do some of the paving. We talked about that earlier. >> Okay. Good. But but that's another issue like you brought up about snow plows, foils, so on so forth, you know, road
work. We have a lot of that that could, you know, end up tearing up that area at some point, >> right? And I'm worried, you know, I know a lot of towns I looked into in Vay, Newark, Red Bank, you talked about that earlier, and it's pretty much in their downtown section. Like this is a
neighborhood with houses. So I, you know, you have to make sure that it's okay with our neighbors looking at this artwork and it has to be pristine and it has to be professional when you talk about stencils versus freehand. So it looks professional. So we have to take that into account as well then.
>> Yes. Well, that's a great point. I do not and and I'm going to be careful with how I say this. I I would like that I want this to be elevated very um professional and uh exciting artwork. I'm not looking for
the children to do this intersection. What I want is to tap into these amazing resources that we have, including Mr. Zeppel, including the Asper um art community, and I would like to get some real exciting artwork put in here that is drawing attention to the town in a
positive way. >> So, that is not um and and in terms of maintenance, it is on a road, it is asphalt art. It's to be expected that this is not permanent. And that's the other piece of this project that you know it's not
permanent art. So yes, I see a lot of towns going through and they have um mild like uh regular cadence maintenance and some don't. So I think that's something else that we would want to talk about if we got to a place we felt this project was moving forward. How do
we want to maintain this? Do we want to maintain it long term? Is this something that the next time the black dot goes over it just goes over it? Like we I don't know. These are all these are all conversation pieces. >> And that's why I was really thinking about that playground because it would be less wear and tear on the playground.
We could do interactive murals. Maybe something with the solar system or native plants and trees. Maybe something the elements of the sea from the ocean brought in where the kids can interact or you know maybe it's something educational where it's the map of the
United States or the solar system and um again it would be more gently used. So I think that's I don't know if you talked to Dr. H Highleberg about the idea of the playground as well. >> I have not because uh this is
this is being proposed as intersection mural art. So I did not talk to him about the playground. >> Um but I'm sure that he would be open to that. He seems to be very >> that would maybe be an additional piece to this. >> Okay.
>> I think that's all. And then I guess about the pain it has to be split and resistant. I I don't know what kind of paint you would use for this. >> Yes. So, we that's where we tap into some of our subject matter experts on public. >> Okay. Okay. That's my question for Thank you very much, Lauren.
>> Yeah. >> Mitch. >> Um yeah, actually. But I just want to touch on just one of in the presentation that you had um said, the initial one that we had reviewed the areas where the art existed
was a little bit more commercial, a little bit more urban. And here you have residential corners, >> right? >> So I'm thinking as a resident of the town, you know that I have some artwork in my in front of my house. I know that
anytime we've done any type of painting of anything, yes, it's probably, you know, parking strike, but it's like, you know, it's just a a voice from the town about that. And I know you had mentioned about some outreach that you had done
with residents and the town police. I'm just wondering if you had the opportunity to kind of gauge the temperature of people surrounding that area. >> So I have not done that. Um to your
point about it being in a residential area, this is a very small town and very difficult to find those places, especially with Main Street. I don't being able to be altered. So we are in in Ocean as well. So we are limited um
to a residential neighborhood for any type of art with this. Um I would clearly want to reach out to the neighbors right there at that intersection of not that far from there. So yes, I don't know if this is part of
the situation where you would notice everybody within 200 or whatever we do at the Lamb Sport to um you know to understand what the project is opportunity to respond. My hope would be that you know this
would be something that the community would be behind but um you know you certainly have to be respectful of what the community wants especially if you're on the street. So I think both Jane and Bench addressed a lot of the concerns that I had. I
think this was a it's a wonderful proposition. Um I think a great community endeavor. Um we also have an arts council. So I hope that this does go forward the arts council and also be a part of this process. >> Yeah, I see actually a few different
organizations or committees in town that would overlap this project. >> Right. So, you know, again, some of my concerns are also that they're within the residential areas and to the degree, you know, that the design something that, you know, the neighbors would be
happy about um is of concern. >> Yeah, I did want I I should have put this more explicitly in the proposal or in the presentation, but in my conversation with Dr. Hedleberg about this, you know, the things that we're trying to express in this artwork are
very much positive community. um political um and mostly related to you know I've I've seen quite a few of these intersection um artwork examples at libraries so a lot of things literacy
community um engage like so so I don't foresee the artwork itself being um controversial that's not the goal the goal is to just bring neighborhoods Okay. Uh, so Lauren, I I number one, I
want to say thank you just for just for taking this initiative, uh, talking to all the resources you've already spoke with, including Chief Arnold, uh, putting this presentation together. Uh, I mean, I've said it many times, I'll say it again. I I love
volunteerism just within the burrow, and you certainly embodied that. So, thank you very much. U, I have a couple quick questions. Um, you mentioned I don't know I think you mentioned something about looking into grant money. Have you actually identified any potential grants? >> I have not done that yet. No.
>> Okay. Okay. I'm always going to come at this from the perspective of residents which you've heard a few times and and you know taxpayer dollars. So how do we spend them most effectively? Um but they're very likely could be grant funding available. So we as a bur look
into that. Um I was struck by in the presentation and some of the materials you shared with me earlier just the size some of the some of these are very large murals of paintings. Would we have some flexibility do you think to maybe I'll I'll say ease into this with you not not
taking up an entire intersection but maybe you know I don't know just something smaller than some of the >> like red where it bumps out a little bit. >> I'm not okay. Yeah, it just kind of bumps out the corners. Are you envisioning we'd have some flexibility around the sheer size of some of the
murals? >> I I think so. And and Chief Arnold and I had talked about the work in Redbank which um as related to the school specifically, we have these pick up and drop off areas that artwork but tends to kind of follow the shoulder
of the road and you know maybe elevates where people are going to be moving around, right? So you're getting picked up and dropped off, cars are pulling in and out. So, uh, there was some examples of that. And in terms of size, I think some of that
is related to to the artwork that would be created. So, obviously, if you have a smaller canvas size, the detail of the artwork that's going in that would change. So, I I don't think there's any hard and fast rules that I'm I'm presenting right now as much as just
trying to define what this project would look like to move it forward most efficiently. Um general time frame is this something that if if if we had enough support for it, would it be a springtime effort? I mean I presume you artists would be working during
>> Yeah, I think again it would depend on the resources in terms of artistic talent and support that we pulled together and determining what all the all basically all the specs of the project. So a size um timing would
certainly uh be relative to Mr. Deeppila's schedule as well. Um and also I'm not you know some seasonality of the town. So I was imagining late spring mostly due to weather. Um and
that's somewhat flexible as well. Uh my last question, just in case we get to a point where, you know, we've got some folks a little on the fence, would it be feasible to consider you proposed two intersections? I think that's that's a starting point very reasonable. That
said, um would there be an option to even consider moving ahead with one of the two, the one per the school first? >> Yeah. >> See how it flows to how the community reacts and then consider, you know, a second. >> Right. If there are no other questions from the council, I'd like to open it up
to the uh the town, ask our residents if you have any comments or questions. >> Show hands. No. Anyone? >> All right. Lauren again, thank you very much. We appreciate your presentation.
Um, I'm going to uh deviate momentarily from uh from our agenda because we have an item on the agenda that I believe we're going to table and because um I'll get
right to it. Uh individual resolution 2026-47 is the mediation agreement before the uh between the affordable housing uh and burough. We uh we reached an agreement.
However, the draft agreement had a few that was presented to us over the weekend by uh by affordable housing. Uh literally had a few typographical errors in it. Um named the zone incorrectly. There were a couple minor things, but
but as of today, we've been waiting hoping we get some confirmation back that they would approve the edits we suggested. As of this moment, they have not yet approved it. But I'm going to make a motion and and just in case anyone's here for affordable housing, I just wanted to do this early in the
meeting, but I'm going to make a motion that we table individual resolution 2026-47, which was the mediation agreement between affordable housing and the Burough Rather Beach. Uh because again, we're waiting on final confirmation that our edits are okay.
>> Mr. Noble, >> yes. MLT, >> yes. >> Mr. Carter, yes. >> Mr. Niki, excused. Mayor Gupzi. >> Yes. Okay. So, if anyone's here only for affordable housing, I just want to get that out of the way. Thank you. Um,
item six on the agenda is presentations and bids. Is Parker is not here? I don't see her. >> All right. We do have a presentation for Miss Parker, uh, who spent a number of years valiantly serving as a volunteer on our environmental commission. And Erica, I think you've got
>> Yes, that is appreciation uh, Let me see. Uh, um, she's lying here unfortunately. >> But if you wouldn't mind reading it. >> Sure. Um, okay. So, certificate of appreciation, Burough of Bradley Beach, New Jersey, Rona Parker. The mayor and
council recognizes the dedication and long hours of hard work that Rona Parker devoted to the environmental commission of the Burrow of Bradley Beach. This conscientious volunteer spirit provided tremendous support to our town and to our residents and will always be
appreciated. Awarded January 20th of 2026. >> Thank you. And and our collective thank you to Rona who many of us know as a a friend and neighbor but uh served many many years on the environmental commission. So thank you to partner. Um
item seven on the agenda is approval of minutes. I will make a motion to approve the January 1st, 2026 council reorganization meeting minutes. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Miss Greenlat, >> yes. >> Mr. Park, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, excuse. Mayor Guboszi.
>> Yes. I have any public comments or questions pertaining to anything on the 1226 i.e. today's agenda? U any items on the agenda only? Any comments or questions? Mr.
My name is J Coan 613rd Avenue. I just had a question about let's see uh 2026-39 governing body certification of 2024 annual audit. Um so is that audit in Mr. Mayor?
>> It is in. It's been distributed to the council. Uh we need to vote tonight on that resolution to uh affirm that we have reviewed the audit comments. Uh and once we do that, it will be posted for the public to review. >> So do we expect that tomorrow on on the
website? >> How quickly can we get that? Do you know? >> Uh well, I have to still post it the newspap the summary in the newspaper also. I mean I I don't know whatever you want it up there. >> Yeah, as soon as possible whatever is you know convenient for the clerk
that'll be done very quickly. Great. Okay. That'll be the full report with recommendations. >> I believe we have an electronic version of it. >> Yeah. >> I'll have recommendations and Okay. >> There are roughly I want to say eight. There were eight recommendations. >> Seven of them were repeated from the
year before. This is the 2024 audit. Yes. >> Repeating comments that existed in the 23 orders. >> That was one. Mr. GS was the CFO. >> 24. >> Great. Okay. Look forward to it. Thank you, Mayor. >> Thank you. Other comments or questions?
Okay, seeing none, we'll we'll move to item nine on the agenda, which are uh a series of ordinance introductions. First on the list is 2026-2 which is an ordinance amending chapter 6
land I'm sorry chapter 6D land use procedures of the burough's revised general ordinances to acknowledge the uh class one design of the burough's land use board pursuant to New Jersey municipal land use law. Um again for introductions the the there will be no
open public comment but we'll try to give brief explanations of each and then when we vote to adopt the we will open up to public comment but for this particular ordinance very uh minor wording we always say class one is the mayor uh in New Jersey land use law
you're also allowed to the mayor is allowed to have a designate uh we're following actual land use law as we speak in that I've already designated and Mitch Cart to be my designate. Uh, but we we're told we really should add it to our ordinance. So, we're adding
language that says last one is the mayor and then we're adding or mayor's designate. And that's really the extent of this. Any comments or questions? All right. I'll make a motion we introduce ordinance 2026-2. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble? Yes. Mat?
>> Yes. >> Mr. Clark? >> Yes. >> Mr. Noiki? Excused. Mayor Budosi. >> Yes. Okay. Uh 2026-3 is actually ordinance amendments that are presented that have been presented to the council by the environmental
commission. uh they have asked the council to consider ordinance on it that basically will provide greater clarity in their in their bylaws uh for u the management of members and in particular um uh how how their chair is appointed
and what else I'm trying to remember oh and and secretary >> yep secretarian >> absent >> absent and disciplining members or recommending members for uh for removal. So, any questions or comments on this
for the council? >> All right. I'll make a motion that we uh approve the introduction of ordinance 2026-3. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mr. Greenblat, >> yes. >> Mr. Carr, >> yes. >> Mr. Niki, excuse. Mayor Guboszi,
>> yes. 2036-4 is an ordinance creating uh the third party payroll dispersement uh process for chapter 78 under personnel policies of the bureau's revised general ordinances. Um this is purely an administrative ordinance that
um was requested of this council by our QBA and our CFO. This is something required by law. We don't have it >> and I believe it's also one of the recommendations in the budget report. I think it's check couple of boxes.
>> Very good. Any other comments or questions? >> I'll make a motion that we uh approve the introduction of 2026-4. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Mr. Green. >> Yes. >> Mr. Core. >> Yes. >> Mr. Noi excused. Mayor Gupzi.
>> Yes. Okay. 2026-5. We're going to take a couple minutes to discuss this one, but this is an ordinance amendment to chapter 9 uh traffic of the bureau's revised general ordinances to revise regulations pertaining to special parking permits.
And folks in this audience may recall, I want to say early December, either end of November, early December, we we introduced an ordinance in November and then we then we withdrew the ordinance adoption. Um, as members of the audience
raised concerns about the original draft of this amendment, the original draft, just as a quick walk down memory lane, um, we we have many residents raised concerns about uh the yellow curb parking for handicapped individuals um,
who were uh, not full-time residents of Bradley Beach. So, they'd be here for the summer months per, you know, they'd have a house in Bradley, but they'd only be here for the summer. And we had many of their neighbors raising concerns about the fact that um the yellow curbs
were there all year long. Even though some of these residents were only here for three months out of the year, nobody could park on the street all year long wherever these yellow lines existed. A month or so ago when we first uh introduced changes here, we tried to
make the line of demarcation. Uh, I'm holding up my invisible driver's license, but the idea would be if your primary residence on your driver's license was Bradley Beach, uh, you would have a year round handicap spot
available. Uh, and and if you didn't have that as per residence, you you had no spot at all. A gentleman stood up, made a very compelling pitch that he that he is a homeowner, he should at least have handicap parking while he's here in the summer. and uh we tabled I'm
sorry we withdrew that last ordinance. This ordinance uh introduces a compromise which is the individual who is not a full-time resident here in Bradley Beach for example 6 months and a day in Florida. Uh that person we're now
talking about having a two-tier system for handicap parking. Tier one is you're a you're year- round resident and you get year round parking. If you are not a primary resident of Bradley Beach, uh you can apply for a sixmonth permit that
would run April 15th through October 15th. So basically the full summer along with a buffer on each end of that. So there' be six months available to the individual who owns residence here uh but only spends you know three or four
months of the year here. Uh we're we're trying to find a balance between uh you know serving you know individuals who are handicapped or have limited accessibility and all of their surrounding neighbors who you know value an ability to park especially when no
one else is using those portions of the street. There's some other uh smaller uh elements of this and again we're not going to spend tonight talking about a lot of it. Everyone will get a shot at this when we when we should we bring it back for adoption. But a couple that
come readily to mind uh we expanded wording around caregivers. In the last discussion uh we had not accounted for multiple caregivers. The language used to say the caregiver had to live at the residence. And we've changed that to say as long as the caregiver is working at
least eight hours a day and is has an assignment that's for uh up to for no less than 30 hours a week and with a contract that at least uh is documented to uh commit to three months of service that that caregiver and there could be
three caregivers meeting that definition. They would all be eligible for parking permits. We reduced the fee. Well, I'm sorry. The current fee is $50. We had originally talked about increasing it to 200. Uh the current version has reduced that
amount to 100. So, we would be moving our fees from $50 to $100 uh as one other element of of the new resolution of the new ordinance. And then um Chelestation. Oh, another I think important piece of
this uh and this was included in the last version as well. We used wording that said you have you need a a doctor's note and the challenge with a doctor's note is you know it is whatever the doctor creates but there there could be an intense amount of detail or there
could be virtually no detail. We're not looking for medical information, but we are looking for u limits to your accessibility to you know your ability to to walk basically or or you know reach your front door from the street. So there this new attestation form has
been created which we will just consistently ask every resident who is asking for a a special parking permit to have their doctor complete this form. and the form is very clearly uh and consistently outlining what the doctor's
feedback is on the patient. So, it's kind of taken away a lot of the subjectivity and asking the doctor to attest this patient uh of mine uh is or is not able to to walk 50 feet without experiencing some degree of discomfort or pain. So we we're trying to be a
little more uh consistent and objective in metrics that that our police department will use to assess u parking permits. Keep in mind for everybody that listen there no people come to me and say oh well handicap parking we have to
make that available. We do in public park areas our own parking lot for example we do not have to make it available on on on public streets. And the reason I say that is because this this is uh this is something we are doing as a courtesy. We're making it
available to our residents who have handicaps, who have limitations uh and access, but we want to do it in a way that we're efficiently utilizing very limited public street space in a town that has very limited parking already.
So, we think I'm speaking for myself, but I think um what we're about to vote on is um is representing a compromise and trying to serve our residents as best we can, our handicap residents in particular, as well as residents who
would like to be able to utilize that space other times of the year. There's a few other pieces in there, but I wanted to give at least an overview. Any other comments or questions? >> So, anticipating that this goes through, currently the permits um from 2025 have
been extended through the end of February. Correct. Uh so how would we roll out this first year since we're a little bit off on the the schedule for that? >> Yeah, we'll just you know it'll be a we already have applications in and we've been strong people. I'm sure others are
waiting once we at least vote to move forward even though we won't have an adoption for another few weeks. We can at least begin an outreach and communication process. But you know we'll do everything retroactive to February one. Even if a lot of the applications come in, will it be out
there going forward? That transition is not covered in this ordinance that that'll be a policy that will be any other comments or questions. Chief, >> sorry, I didn't I didn't realize part of this was the caregivers. Can you just explain that again?
>> Yeah, >> because currently it's if you don't live with a resident. >> Yeah. In our last meeting when we when we were rolling forward the current ordinance which as you say requires a caregiver to live at the residence uh a number of residents spoke up uh and said you could
have part-time caregivers. You could have you know shifts caregiver comes for eight hours. It's a 24-hour coverage but they come in three shifts in the course of the day. And while we don't think that happens often, in fact, it may not happen much at all, uh we wanted to make
sure that we provided the the opportunity to have shifts and caregivers and no one had to necessarily live at the residence. So, we changed that one provision. We struck basically that you have to be a resident at that address and we changed it to if you give
us documentation that says you're a caregiver handling that individual and that you work at least eight hours a day 30 at least 30 days a week um and and you have a contract for at least three months you'll be eligible for a sticker
you still have to display the the state placard as well. So currently, the way it always has been is that only one vehicle is assigned to that spot. So how from an enforcement standpoint,
multiple cars? I don't know how you enforce that. >> Well, only there's only going to be one spot, right? So, >> no, but there's right there's one spot, one car that's assigned to that space for the year. No other car is allowed to be in that spot. So, if you're saying there's multiple, how we going to be
notified? how we need to keep up with what car supposed to be there. >> Wouldn't you look for a sticker and placard and say >> we only give out one. >> So that's going to change >> multiple. >> We're going to again I don't expect this happen often if at all. I mean but there
could be >> it does happen often >> multiple caregivers. know that they're trying to get spaces and saying it's for a caregiver and generally they're denied because you know the purpose of it initially was is
that it's a caregiver that is transporting this person often. That's why they need the space. >> The caregiver themselves not being handicapped don't need the space. They can bark like anybody coming to visit
them. So the purpose of the caregiver getting the space in front of the house, the person lives there, they're taking them to treatment every day. Often they need that space so they don't have to walk the person to the car. >> But if it's just for treatment,
do they need that space? >> Yeah. >> Well, I think I mean we'll find out when we vote, but I think where where we uh were coming out on this was we should make that one space. It's not like there are multiple spaces, >> right? So at any one point in time only
one car could actually park there. But to your point there could be there could be two or three or four cars that are eligible to park there. The assumption that we have would be uh they're parking there during their shift. Uh and there's
a there's an and clause that you have to have that decal which Michelle would track three cars say three different caregivers all who show us their their contract. So Michelle hands out three decals for the say back left, you know, corner of the back windshield. Um, but
they would also have to put out the one state placard. So that's I think how we >> But whose placer are they displaying? I mean, you can't display >> the disabled. >> You're not handicapped. You can't display somebody else's. >> So whose state placard are they displaying?
>> Okay, they're not handicapped. >> Okay. What the what the wording says in this introduction and we can change it. That's why we're having this conversation is that the individual's handicapped individual's placard would be displayed while that car was parked
there. The idea was so that you could that you could monitor. What are you saying? >> I mean, you know what? If it's not your if you're not handicapped, you yourself just parking the car there, you shouldn't be using somebody else's
handicap state platform. That's illegal. >> So, I don't see what they may. So, I think this is more for somebody that's like say 90 years old. They no longer drive, right? but they have a professional caretaker come in and stay with them for eight hours a day and then another one comes in and stays for
another eight hours. So I I don't think we have that many c situations that people have these kind of inh home caretakers. >> It's so the people that are getting taken care of probably don't have a placer because they're not driving. >> Right.
>> Okay. So this is for a professional home care specialist. It's not for someone to pick them up or deliver food. It's for someone that really has someone living or working there for eight hours. I don't know how many people how many applications you have like that.
>> Right. So, we might have to take out the state display, >> especially if there's not one available. Yes. >> Now, we do have the placard as a requirement for all other, you know, all other individuals, which is obviously no problem. But I guess we'll have to have
it. We're going to keep the placard requirement, but we'll have to have language that says in the event it's a giver, >> right? >> Will follow only the detail. >> It can't be like a daughter coming in and just sitting with you for an hour. It's got to be someone that's going to be working with this person.
>> Um, okay. So, let's make a note of that. Move it from my actual but um other comments or questions from the >> I have two just small changes and I don't know if the changes can be madeum
as document is tonight. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, depending on what the article, >> right, I think I had mentioned them to you before. Um, and it was just kind of to clean up um any ambiguities. So, on page four of the document under administrative requirements number two,
uh, all applicants will be reviewed during the month of January. I would strike during the month of January. Um, it doesn't change, uh, the the meaning. Um, all applicants will be reviewed by the police department and permits will be issued by the chief of police for a
January 1st effective date. Elig eligibility requirements are satisfied. So my recommendation to strike during the month of January >> rather than before you say page four, what number was it? Just >> it's number two under the administrative
requirements >> strike during the month of January. >> Right? >> Everybody see that? Y >> you finding it yet? >> That was one and then the other one was uh um number
uh number nine which reads only one car can be designated to park in the designated parking space. I would eliminate that that item if um there are multiple caregivers and multiple stickers are provided. >> I'm in a meeting. I'm in a meeting. I
think we I'm trying to compare that to what was just saying. >> So So Chief, >> let's say there three caregivers and we're not going to have a placard, but we are going to have three separate decals. What council woman is saying is we could
strike uh the statement that says only one car can be designated to park in a designated parking place because in theory we could have three >> unless it's a caregiver, >> right? I mean, is there a way to word it where it is one car but in a circumstance where some caregivers? >> Yes. A full-time caretaker.
>> No, unless it's not a full unless it's through care. >> Yeah. Unless it's a full-time caretaker. >> Not full time. Could be eight hours a day. >> Well, eight eight hours. >> We're just saying. >> Okay. So, only one car can be designated to park in the designated parking space.
uh something along the lines of uh exceptions may be made for multiple careg >> I don't think you're going to have that many applications for that >> I don't think so we're just trying to
accommodate right a lot of people >> okay Um >> but it still doesn't um address the possibility of no factor this. >> No, we have to we have to make a quick edit there.
Where does it say? Here we go. Item four. Item four says each permit holder must display both a valid New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission issue placard and the Bradish handicap decal. Um
Okay. So, actually we must >> be with the exception of those that are designated as caregivers. We will only need to put the sticker >> and then you would have that vehicle register
>> sometimes it's hidden most of your cars now it's just factory difficult to say. >> Okay. Right. How about this word? Under item
three, I guess it's A3. >> The applicant must possess a valid New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. I've got two items here. A valid New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission issue disability placard or wheelchair symbol license plate under
this reference. I had already stretched in four equipment from another state because the chief tells me that there could be state licenses. Uh and then continue with the possible exception of multiple caregivers.
>> Is that close? >> Sorry. >> Sorry. >> Okay, that's okay. Um, I'm just trying to get this tight enough that we can vote hopefully to move this forward and then we can tweak. It's always okay to
tweak an adoption, but we just can't change it. >> Well, there was we were talking about the events that happen during the year. Somebody moves in or somebody comes to during the season >> that is in here.
One second. I know that is in here, but I don't see it. >> Yeah. >> Off calendar year's parking permit applications under the administrative requirements number three. >> B3.
So Mitch reads, "Offounding year special parking permit applications will be considered by the police department if accessibility conditions change substantially after January 1st." Right. >> So I think that covers the
the edits. I'm going to recite these, Erica, and then I'll give them to you after the meeting. Make a motion. >> You okay with this? >> I'm going to make a motion. >> Make sure you get them to turn. I'm going to make a motion that we uh
make edits to the the current draft uh amendment uh beginning with which we okay B2 we will strike the wording during the
month of January on uh B9 nine. We will add to the end of that sentence. It reads only one car can be designated to park in the designated parking space. We'll add comma exceptions may be made for multiple caregivers.
And then for for A3 we will say uh it already says the applicant must possess a valid New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission issued disability placard or wheelchair symbol license plate under PL1949,
C.280 280 and then it will continue with a parenthetical or equivalent from another state closed pars, with the possible exception of multiple caregivers.
So I'll make a motion that we uh include those three edits. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mr. Green, >> yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, excused. Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. Thank you for working through all that. Um, now I will make a motion that
we approve ordinance 2026-5 uh with the inclusion of those three amendments. >> Second. Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Miss Greenblat, yes. >> Mr. Cart, >> yes. >> Mr. Noiki, excuse. Mayor Gubosi, >> yes. Ordinance 2026-1, an ordinance amending
and supplementing the burough code of the bur the burough code of the burough of Rley Beach, chapter 450 entitled zoning to establish a new zone entitled affordable housing for which is a dashboard zone. Um, first of all, any
comments or questions from the council? >> Thank you so much for all the work on this. >> Yeah, I'm going to make a comment then we're going to open it up to the public for public. Um, just as a reminder to everybody, we introduced this ordinance at our last meeting and then it had to be uh reviewed and approved for
consistency by the land use board. The purpose of this is to establish one of what will ultimately be five overlay zones that will um align broadly with the settlement we've reached with affordable housing. But specifically, this is the 803 Main Street property um
that uh is working with the bureau to create four affordable units within within a building that should be uh built on that location. So, with that said, I'm going to open up to uh what's the public comment? >> Second, >> Mr. Noble? Yes. >> Mr. Ray?
>> Yes. >> Mr. Park? >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki, excuse. Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. public comment or questions on uh ordinance 2026-1. Yes, ma'am. >> I don't know if I have this right, but I
will try. All right. Is this the the the they want the four stories. You want four stories for this ordinance or is this a voted on? Are we voting on
so we can have more traffic or what are we voting on here? >> Yeah, this is um this is we're creating an overlay zone. There's an ordinance that exists already that does allow four stories, you know, on the west side of main street.
>> Oh, does that just apply on the whole main street itself? >> On the west side? >> Just on the west side. currently have current ordinances exist that allow >> so they can go for up >> correct >> uh from say what what avenue down what
is the west side consist of >> well if you're if you're going up and down Main Street >> um Burough Hall is on the west side where anything on the side where the railroad >> got right >> so anything on that side can go up four
stories >> it can it's got to have parking >> the whole main Correct. That exists already. We're not voting on that tonight. We're designating this certain area has to be 803 main to be deemed a particular
overlay zone to make it more uh uh aligned with affordable housing objectives. >> And how many So you're going to go four stories. How many are are going to be affordable housing in that? >> Four years.
Four units. >> Four units. And how many are they going to be? How many are they going to build? >> 26 or 26. >> How many buildings are we going to build on the west side? >> How many buildings? Oh, sorry. >> They're building a fourstory building
and four units are going to go to the unaffordable. >> Yes. >> And how many other build how many units are in the whole building? >> 24 total. >> 24. So 20. So, we're going to have 20
people, 20 families in there. >> 24, but 24, right? >> And where are they going to park >> on the There's So, Miss Ly, you need to understand this. Well, you're you're asking questions about something that's
already been approved >> years ago. All right. >> So, they're going to park they have first floor parking under the building. >> Oh, okay. >> But it's already been approved. So, why are we here then? >> Well, because we're modifying that that
approval just to just to make sure we align with our affordable housing goals. We're up until this point, the developer had not officially agreed to provide us with four affordable units. And as part of this this thing we're voting on
tonight, he's going to give us four units. we're going to allow him to build a few more units where there would have been commercial, but it has nothing to do with the height of the building or, you know, >> did they ever did did the town ever do a
traffic on on on this on the I mean, how much more traffic we're going to have? >> This was all voted on years ago by the >> done deal. >> Well, yeah. I mean, unfortunately, I guess. >> Okay. All right.
and it was handled by the the >> So, we're here to say what? That it's okay for him to do this that he can >> I don't I don't >> We're going to add affordable housing units to this bill. That's what we're voting on. >> Oh, that was never in there in the deal.
Correct. Correct. Yes. >> Gotcha. So, now let's see. Yes. >> If we didn't vote on this tonight, then we'd be at an impass, though. we wouldn't necessarily have an agreement to get affordable units. So we think >> but before they get when they apply say
I'm going to build on this there's no law that says you've got to have so much affordable building. >> There is >> but there was a disagreement in terms of whether or not this developer was subject to that law or not and this is
how we're resolving that disagreement. >> So he gets his way in. Okay. Well, no, no. We're getting affordable. >> We think it's a good thing for the borrow. >> Yeah. >> The building that you're questioning is already in place. Within that building,
we had zero affordable units. Now, as a as a result of this agreement, we're going to get four affordable units. So, we think it's a good thing, >> right? But >> I guess my original thought is, but when they apply, I'm going to build this
>> that there isn't a law that says you've got to allow so many for affordable uh housing. >> It was a time frame where there was at least a question >> and they didn't enforce it or it wasn't applied. >> The burough tried to enforce it. The
developer said they didn't agree with the burough and we were at an impass and this is our settlement. That's kind of like I have a neighbor who builds who has hedges way too high and he refuses to take them down though we have a code saying it has to be
>> okay thank you Mr. Sure. Thomas J. Coan, 64 Avenue. I'd like to clarify some things that were brought up by the previous um speaker. Um this was originally approved uh for 48 ft, four
stories when Gary Angle was the mayor. It was done specifically with GMOs in mind. That is a 48 foot building, four stories with parking underneath which requires no parking variances. The original submission by this developer
was for 18 units and no parking bearings. He was supplying all the parking based on the residential site improvement standards, which is fantastic. I'm a cheerleader. The ordinances were supposed to be administratively handled by Mayor Angel
and Mayor Fox. They never were. That's really the question. It's it's a disservice of the administration of affordable housing in this community. Okay. I stood right here and said at those meetings, where are the affordable units? You should be giving us at least
three at the time. Oh, no. We don't have to do it. There's videotape. You can go back and watch it, listen to it. Um, I do want to credit this developer because uh during round three, he could have used builder's remedy to push for an
even bigger building. Um, other towns are living through that now in Belmar with their redevelopment zones, builder's remedies being used. In this case, builder's revenue is not being used. This is really the settlement. So, there'll be 24 units. uh we'll be
getting four affordable units and fair share housing acknowledges a twounit bonus from us which helps us to get to our prospective need currently of 13 units in this round. Uh we still have an unmet need which we'll be working on through other zoning that you'll be
approving. Um but I I think this is a very reasonable settlement but I do want the public to know one thing in this settlement. If you'll notice, the parking requirement in the settlement is 1.5 spaces per unit. Okay, not real
crazy about that because the Reese's standards are 1.8 spaces for onebedroom, two spaces for two bedroom, and 2.2 for three bedroom. So, there is going to be a parking deficit on this property, but I think we have to look at the other
side that we're getting the units. um the malfeasants that took place over the administration of affordable housing in Breville Beach over the last 10 years is is what leads us to this. So, uh I think it's a very reasonable settlement, but I want the public to be aware for any
future projects, they should meet the residential site improvement standards for parking. Um many buildings on Main Street were built prior to 1920. It was horse and buggy. Nobody even had a car. People couldn't afford a car. Now, it's really an issue. But unless we hold the
new developers to the residential site improvement standards, our deficit is going to get worse and worse. And our master plan specifically says we have parking issues in specific areas in Bradley Beach. And I think everyone acknowledges that. So in my mind, that's
the only negative on this thing. I I think it was uh it was done a consistency review by the land use board which said it was consistent with the master plan uh especially the affordable housing component. So, um I hope that answers any of your questions from any previous speaker, but that's how we got
here. Thank you, Mayor. >> Thank you, Mr. And you mentioned the 1.5 uh parking under this particular resol uh ordinance, but as you're well aware, I'll just mention this for the public's benefit in the other four overlay zones.
Uh, as far as we know, this is one of the things we're just awaiting final confirmation from affordable housing, but the draft that we've submitted back to them is saying we will comply with Reese's standards and we will have the 1.8 or the 2.0 >> other developments. So, with all that
said, uh Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, sir. >> I can't I can't >> on Zoom unmute yourself. Who is it that you state your name and address, please?
>> Uh, I'm uh Drew Waters, not Gloria Waters, which might pop up in your Zoom. >> Hello, Mr. Waters. >> Just state your address as well, sir. Unmute yourself. Could you state your address, please?
>> You're muted. >> Try it again on mute. Can you unmute yourself? There you go. Okay, I hear you. >> Okay. Am I good? >> Yes. I just need your address. >> Okay. >> I I just want to go back really quickly to the park.
>> Can you say your address, please? >> Address. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Drew Borders, uh 120 Cliff Avenue, Gravity Beach, New Jersey. >> Thank you. >> Uh there I I just I'm sorry. I thought there'd be discussion on parking a little bit and I I don't want to go back
to that, but I just need to there's I would just like to make sure that any reference to and I know one of the items uh 993.9, but there's also 98.3 that referenced New Jersey
uh as having a New Jersey placard or a New Jersey thing. And I saw you address one of those items, Mr. And by the way, I want to thank the council for reviewing this. >> I really do. I >> I'm sorry. I I don't know where you can see me. Unfortunately, this is not the
time for us to have this conversation where we're opening it today. >> But, uh, at the end of the meeting, if you stay with us, you'll have a chance to to make that comment. Uh, right now. >> Okay. Great. >> Okay. Right now, we're feeling >> Great. Perfect. >> We're fielding comments or questions about this one ordinance. I I thought I
thought we were I did realize there wasn't discussion about the parking, so I'll I'll bag out and wait to the end. >> Okay, perfect. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Any other comments or questions? I see none. Okay, I will make a motion that we close public comment and adopt um
2026-1. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. Mr. Green, yes. >> Mr. Park, >> yes. >> Mr. Niki, excused. Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. Okay. Um, moving to communications,
we are naming a Sha tree commission alternate to appointment and that is Mr. Michael H Highleberg, the superintendent of schools here in Bradley. So very excited to have Mr. H Highleberg join the Sha tree commission. Uh, another communication is that the environmental
commission chair appointment is none other than our own Mr. John Weber. He will assume the role of chair. And then we have finance committee appointments that uh will include myself, uh Matt Dhy, our burough administrator,
Mitchell Clark, fellow colleague on the council, and Janette Larrison, our interimm CFO. Uh and that concludes communications. We'll move to resolutions. We have a number of consent agenda resolutions. Most of us have had opportunities to
discuss or ask questions. Are there any questions or items you'd like to discuss separately? >> I don't want to discuss separately, but I do just want to thank um the um firefighter Eric Shriber and um the uh
deputy chief uh uh and Lieutenant serving as volunteers in such an important >> Okay, great. Any anything else to vote out separately or discuss that? Okay. I'll make a motion that we approve
consent agenda resolution items 2026-37 through uh 2026-46. >> Second. Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenwood. >> Yes. >> Mr. Clark. >> Yes. >> Mr. Wiki. Excuse. Mayor Guboszi. >> Yes.
Individual resolutions. Item 2026-47. This is mediation. Oh, okay. I've already voted on this in the table. Sorry. >> Okay, >> I did not cross it out. >> Uh, but item 2026-48, approval to apply for a $250,000 grant
through the New Jersey Department of Human uh services, which might be available to support our senior wellness program. Any comments or questions about this one? >> Exciting. >> Yeah. I mean, it' be a huge opportunity for our seniors. Um, all right. I'll
make a motion that we uh approve 2026-48. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble? Yes. >> Mr. Greenblat? Yes. >> Mr. Carr? >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki, excused. Mayor Kubosi. >> Yes. 2026-49, approval of an increase to summer camp. I believe uh our our rec
director Courtney Papis uh has put forward an increase of 10% on our summer camp fees. Any comments or questions? I just want to include the fact that because we have a shared service with Neptune City that Neptune City also
is accepted into the program as a resident rates. >> Resident rates. >> In other words, they too will get a 10% increase. >> Everyone gets a 10%. >> All right. I'll make a motion that we approve 2026-49. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble.
>> Yes. >> M. Green. >> Yes. >> Mr. Park. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki. Excuse. Mayor Gubet. >> Yes. 2026-50. This is permitting back in time cafe signage within the within Riley Park for 2026. This is a
resolution more or less. We uh we've approved this every year for the last few years. Uh because of the unusual circumstances of the placement of the back cafe. They have a Main Street address, but they are set way back from Main Street. They can't really advertise
like anyone else could in their window. Uh we're tweaking this. In the past, we've approved it uh basically for all year long. However, the proprietors hours or or I should say seasons have changed. For example, uh
back in time is not open right now. >> Yeah. No. >> Okay. And we did not want the sign to remain out all year long. So, uh, what the main amendment to this approval is that we, uh, the sign will be permitted as long as the the establishment's open
for you that season. They can be, they can be there overnight. That they don't have to physically be open, but it has to be during the season that they're open. Other than that, any questions or comments? Okay. I'll make a motion that we approve 2026-50.
>> Second, >> Mr. Noble? Yes. >> M. Greenwood? >> Yes. >> Mr. Carr? Yes, >> Mr. Noliki. Excused. Mayor Guboszi. >> Yes. >> 2026-51 awarding a non-fair and open professional service contract appointment for Fairshirt housing attorney Andrew Bayer Esquire. Uh Mr.

recommended Mr. Bear and he did submit a proposal and we will have a chance to review that. Any questions or comments? >> Okay. I will make a motion that we approve 2026-51 awarding a non-fair and open professional contract to Mr. Mayor. >> Second.
>> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Mr. Green. >> Yes. >> Mr. Clark. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki excused. Mayor Kubosi. >> Yes. >> 2026-52. We are nameing a handful of three, I believe. uh awarding nonfair and open

firm that specializes in grant writing and grant uh application drafting. And one of the things that the bureau has has really struggled with is finding grant application dollars uh for public safety services. So for example uh the
police right now we're trying to secure three or $400,000 funding for radios. Uh grants are not readily available. We're working through our legislators there. Uh fire and first aid also struggled to get grant funding. Burough's been done, in my opinion, a
wonderful job, including the prior administration in securing grant funding for a lot of our infrastructure, Silven Lake, Sewers, Main Street, but we've really, I think, come up short with public safety. So, this particular firm specializes in public safety grant
writing. Uh the the terms are fairly reasonable. $2,500 a month that annualizes to $30,000, but you know, just one significant grant will be pay for itself many times over. So um any comments or questions? >> Yeah, I must say that um I was
incredibly impressed by their knowledge, the access to. So I know that I've always wondered, you know, like how do people find out about the different grants that are out there? Well, that's their job. They have access to many different types of databases. They have
a huge research team to get things and have access to things that were never that we never thought of. I know that the first aid squad had talked about their frustration where yeah, I just seem to be beating my head against the wall because I keep on
making the same submission year after year and I always get denied because well, we're a small town. So, for whatever the reason, they just always ran up against these And now this professional services team of people will really be able to
get the grants that were just unavailable to us before. >> Yeah. And I think uh Chief, you obviously participated in the interview and I I heard good feedback not only from you but from fire and for state. So you know I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to work with these guys.
>> So we have we have not Have we yet approved this? We did. No, >> I already crossed that. That's on me. So, >> uh, so I'll make a motion that we approve 2026-53. >> Second, Mr. Noble. I wish we had these
people 10 years ago. >> It would have been great. Yes, Mr. Green. >> Yes, Mr. Clark. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki, excused. Mayor Gub. >> Yes. And I and I will say that they are starting off just with our public safety. However, that doesn't preclude
them in the future for doing other work. talk about that's really exciting. >> No, and on that note, just again to educate our public a little more about what you know, what we're learning as we go. Um, this woman came highly recommended to us at her firm, but she
also specializes in nonforprofits. So, you know, both our fire and our first aid are not for profofits. Uh, but but, uh, their expertise is such that they've worked with I think we may evaluate if we can expand our services with them. they work with uh helping bursts like us
establish a committee that could that committee could serve all nonprofits in affiliated with Bradley Beach that align with Bradley Beach's mission. So, not only will they already be able to work with fire and first aid, but to the extent there other nonprofits that
support Bradley Beach's vision, um we might be able to pull them in via this uh entity in that committee. So more I hope more good things to come. Anyway, let us move to item 12 on the agenda. Announcements. There are none. Bill
list. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Uh there is a bill list 2026-54 for January 20, 2026. >> Oh, the >> Yeah, I implemented him by accident. Um so
>> Okay, he'll be chirping along. >> The owl's at us. So >> he'sing at you. >> Um I'm sorry. I almost skipped the bills. Any comments or questions on the bills? >> Only questions are answered. Thank you. >> Yeah. Can I just say that behind the scenes? This is like really my first time going through this. And what you
what what the public doesn't see is the amount of paddling that's going on in the meat service that you know any comments or questions and kind of sit up here and no, we're all good. And I I always felt that it's like doesn't have anything to say or are they don't they
have any comments? And but uh that happens all throughout the the weeks leading up to the meeting as we're reviewing all of the documentation that Erica is curating and sending to us and getting to all the revisions. So there's so much work that goes on and uh and
it's also difficult to discuss because we can't discuss it all together because we'll have a quorum. So I have to congratulate you mayor on just having to deal with the same questions from us individually and uh that's incredibly timeconuming and
>> very patient and patience. >> We appreciate that. Yes. >> Well, it's it's uh it's really great that you guys are asking all these questions because it just shows how much you're into serving our residents and understanding what it is you're building on. So, thank you for the questions. Um,
I also, while we're talking about billist, I want to call out uh Kathy Lipid, one of our critical employees who worked diligently and kind of uh urgently uh at the end of last week to get this pulled together in time for us tonight. So, she was working from home
to uh make sure we have that time. So, anyway, uh all that said, I will now make a motion to approve 2026-54. >> Second, Mr. Noble. Thank you, Kathy. And yes, >> Mr. Green, >> yes. >> Mr. Clark, >> yes. >> Mr. Noiki, excused. Mayor Guboszi,
>> yes. >> Item 12 in of the agenda, announcements. There are none. Item 13A, administrator report. There is no administrator tonight. He is at the governor's ball, uh, lobbying for grant funding for the
burough. >> Uh, 13B is mayor and council reports. Can I start with council president? Oh, absolutely. That sounds great. Just want to pull this up real quick. So, um I'm gonna start with the um board
of ed had their reorg meeting and congratulations to Dr. Franks. She's now again the president and uh they have a new president, vice president, I'm sorry, Noel Weinberg. Congratulations to her and thank you Bridget Deain for your service as the previous vice president
of the board of ed. They have a meeting tonight. So I will be reporting that on that at the next meeting. Sha tree they had a meeting on the 7th of January and um they have a new chairperson and that also is Noel
Weineberg and I also work with Noel Weineberg at the food pantry and she's on the board and she's the lead of the food pantry and it's people like this that really make a difference. I mean, we have so many wonderful volunteers in Bradley Beach and someone like this is they always say if you want something
done, ask a busy person and this is a busy person and she does get it done. So, thank you to Noel. She's now the chairperson and thank you to Larry Bagwell for all your your years of service for the Gratty um Shade Tree Commission. And there, as we said earlier, there's a new member, Michael
Haidleberg. That might sound familiar because he's the principal and superintendent of the Bradley Beach Elementary School. We welcome him. And um I have it circulating in the audience. We they did a 2025 recap and it's just a few interesting facts. 34
trees were removed throughout the burrow, but 52 trees will be planted to replace them. Six honor me applications, 35 wishing tree applications. They received a grant for $40,000. So this year in 2026, we'll look up at
over 80 trees being planted. They continued to um expand the pollinator point which is on second avenue. So a lot of wonderful things and of course we were named for the 15th year in the row tree city USA.
So again these are wonderful volunteers doing great work for our burrow and maintaining and um expanding our tree canopy. And in addition to that, what do I have next? Oh, tourism. All right, February is a big month. The Burrow of Bradley Beach is
set to transform into a vibrant cultural hub as the second annual Winter Jazz Festival returns this February. Spanning 5 days, the festival celebrates worldclass artistry, community spirit, and the rich heritage of jazz. From
February 3rd to February 7th, 2026, over 45 professional musicians will perform across multiple venues ranging from intimate local establishments to the festival's main stage, which is Bradley Beach Elementary School. The weekend
concludes with a marquee performance by NEA jazz master and renowned trombonist Delo Marcales. Fun fact, I play trump. Um, but I'm not in the festival, nor would they want me. Okay. The Bradley
Beach Winter Jazz Festival is rooted in a commitment to uplift artists, inspire audiences, and strengthen community bonds. Its mission is to support arts and culture, celebrate Black History Month, and provide a vital platform for both legendary icons and emerging local
talent, all while driving engagement with local businesses. All weekday prel pro uh pre prelude events February 3rd to 5th offer free admission and no cover charge. They'll be at UVA. They'll be at the elbow room and they'll also be at
Darcy's. All access passes for the weekend events at the Bradley Beach Elementary School are February 6th and 7th are available for $25. For the full schedule of events and to purchase tickets, please visit the Burough of Bradley Beach websitej.gov/our.
/ourism department. So, we all can look forward to that. And uh again, this is Amy Baker. She's the uh chairman or the chairperson of the tourism and she does an amazing job. And this is the second year and they have over, if I remember,
um $5,000 of sponsor shop sponsorships and they also have $3,000 in ticket sales already. So, the tickets are going fast. So, if you're considering it, I I would say go ahead and get a ticket. And that concludes my report. Thank you, mayor. >> Thank you, Councilwoman.
>> Great. Um, so the Arts Council met uh Monday, January 12th. Um, they I really have nothing to report at the moment from the Arts Council, but uh we anticipate that the Costar will have an article on the new arts council that will be a feature in this week's
edition. Uh, no new date has yet been set for the next meeting, uh, but that should be forthcoming. Um the Fletcher Lake Commission met met January 15th. It was the first meeting of the year. It was a reorganization meeting and the commission voted on his
leadership with Anthony Deo once again as its chairperson. Bradley Beach is authorizing the payment for boost remediation which we just approved for 2026 and it will act as the agent for the lake commission of Neptune Township.
Commission member Bill Grafton will be reaching out to the area towns who run airator lights to ascertain effects on the lakes's biosphere as well as clonet um which runs water sample testing for Fletcher Lake. The one set of lights
approved by council were installed at the end of this past summer season so they may need a longer term seasonal analysis. The next commission meeting is scheduled for February 12th, 6 pm in this council chamber. And I have a recreation committee report
which is somewhat lengthy because now with our shared service with Neptune City, um recreation offers really a lot of programs uh for the community. Uh so the recreation committee met Monday, January 12th. Senior the senior club's
next meeting is Wednesday, January 28th, noon to 3 at the banquet hall this month, uh usually at the Bey Center, but I believe that the upcoming meeting is at the banquet hall. Uh and also please be advised that I think there's been an
error in the calendar. Uh so the senior club regularly meets on the last on the fourth Wednesday of each month. Uh, maan open play runs every Friday from 1 to 3 at the baza center. Senior game time Tuesdays runs the first and
third Tuesday of each month. Bring your own game and join friends at the BIA center. And the the following uh recurring events uh all take place at the Neptune City Community Center and they're part of our shared service agreement. Uh so some of these are new
opportunities for Brontley Beach residents. Uh, the glitter and blue crew geared for ages 2 to three meets every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 11:30 a.m. to 12:15. Ballroom dancing for intermediate dancers meets every
Wednesday at 5:45 p.m. Uh, there is a fee of $12 per person at the door for each um each session. Uh, open indoor pickle ball runs Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. Senior strength training runs every
Monday morning, 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Step aerobics, all levels welcome, Mondays and Thursdays, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. These are free events. Uh, senior game day at the Neptune City uh, Community Center runs Wednesdays at
noon. uh and quilting for those who already know how to quilt and would like to continue a project with other quilters in a larger space. They meet on Mondays at 5:00 p.m. And then finally at the Neptune City Community Center, table tennis or ping pong is offered every
Wednesday evening 5 to 8:00 p.m. and it's an open play situation. Mark your calendars for radio bingo March 21st 6 pm at the fire hall featuring the music of the '9s. Tickets will go on sale in February and they can be purchased on through the ladies
auxiliary or emailing Courtney Papus. Um the Memorial Day vendor fair along the beach prominade which runs Saturday and Sunday of that weekend. Uh applications are currently out. Um, as of um, as an
early bird incentive, the art, craft, and retail vendors will receive a 25% discount if they register before January 31st. There's a link on our website to community path for vendor registration. So, you have to kind of look on the
website and go either to the forms and documents where you can find the application. Um, and that's probably the best way to access it at this point or go to the the main calendar. Uh, construction continues at the rec
site with the completion of paper work. The playground and all new surfaces are complete with court striping planned for the end of winter. There's still limited public access to the facility. A grand reopening will take place in early spring. The reccomy's next next meeting
is Monday, February 9th, 6:30 p.m. at the Neptune City Community Center. And that's my report. >> Thank you, Councilwoman. Councilman Sharp. Correct. >> Councilman. >> Um, now if I go on too long, it's
because that's okay. >> And also, this is my this is really my first opportunity to meet all of the people. from all the various committees that I met with. Um, so a previous week I met with Pam Valentine who's our director of community development and Alison Ferrell, the department's
administrative assistant. And for those of you who don't know this department, I always called it the construction office. Um, community development comprises zoning, construction, code enforcement, as well as the office of the fire marshal. This office handles the review of applications for the
issuance of zoning constructions, dumpsters, storage pods, streets, street openings, and sidewalk permits. Um they also issue certificates of continued occupancy and perform all the inspections. Um they also um have staff members that
investigate reports of code violations and other issues within the burrow. We recently hired a full-time uh code enforcement officer. had previously been a part-time position and the department has experienced a tremendous improvement in turnaround times for the inspections
as well as the ability to monitor the town for compliance. Uh for the environmental commission, I met with them last week and their new chairperson John Weber. Uh their first order of business was to begin to plan how to make the various Bradley Beach events
during 2026 greener. Um last year they were able to arrange less waste at the events. They were actually composting pumpkins from some from a pumpkin chunking event. Um as well as they contributed to installing a um water
filling stations at the firehouse, saving them a tremendous amount of money as well as saving the environment. Um they'll also be beginning um to work on environmental events during the year such as notw weed pulling and participating in clean ocean action
events and they meet the first Monday of each month for the first aid department for the operational period ending January 20th 2026. The squad reported to 24 day calls and 21 night calls for a total of 45 calls. 33 were for medical
and 12 were for fire. There were no out of town mutual aid requests. The squad responded in support of our police department and the United States Coast Guard to a report of a 74 foot pleasure vessel taking on water northeast of the Shark River inlet with three people aboard. And the squad had responded with
both ambulances and our beach rescue vehicle and stood by until the Coast Guard recovered all three people. Uh congratulations are in order for their member Nia How on her graduation from nursing school as a registered nurse. And lastly, the squad joined the fire
department in a joint recruitment presentation and lunchon on New Year's Day, resulting in three new applications for membership. Squad fulfilled 100% of their assignments for this operational period. And they're always looking for volunteers. They offer free training for qualified individuals. Anyone wishing to
volunteer first aid squad applications can be found on the bureau's websites. and they're also accepting applications for their cadet program for young people who are 16 to 18 years old who are interested in serving our community. Uh I had the chance to meet with the
fire department as their leazison and I guess first I don't know if you ever get too old to walk into a firehouse and it was all I could do to ask to crawl into the trucks and wear the uniforms. It's pretty incredible. Um, I will tell you that the dedication that the first aid
squad and the fire department as volunteers that they have towards their responsibilities in Bradley Beach is immeasurable. But, uh, as for the stats for the month ended December 31st, uh, 2025, the fire department responded to five day calls
and six night calls for a total of 11. Six were fire alarm activations. Two were mutual aid assists into Asbury Park. Two were carbon monoxide alerts and one was a natural gas leak. The department also conducted trainings on confined space operations and hose
operations and the department also carried out the annual Santa run. There were no requests for mutual aid from other fire departments and they fulfilled 100% of their assignments for that operational period. Uh, also uh happy to report that the department inducted their new firefighter into
their ranks. Congratulations. And also happy to report that our department acquired a muchneeded gently used um fire hose uh from the fire department that we got the fire truck from last year using donated funds and they got
about $18,000 worth of hoses for $750. Uh they also too are always looking for volunteers for the fire department and offer free training to qualified individuals. Anyone who want wishes to volunteer may inquire through the bureau's website. Uh for our police
department, a local man was arrested and charged with fine trespassing at controls were dispatched to a local business establishment for a subject causing a disturbance. This individual had been noticed against trespass by the business on an earlier date due to similar unruly and aggressive behavior
and was arrested for same. Another local man was arrested and charged with hindering apprehension and several motor vehicle violations following a traffic stop. The subject provided false information as to his name and personal identifiers and attempt to hide the fact that he has suspended driver's license due to several previous motor vehicle
infractions. Uh, and I'd also like to take a moment to invite the entire community to our upcoming burrow blood drive, which will be held on Tuesday, February 17th. The drive will take place at the firehouse between 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. As we
all know, blood supplies often run low during the winter months, and your donation can quite literally save a life right here in our area. So, to keep things running smoothly and avoid long wait times, we're just asking residents to register in advance. go to the bureau's website, just look for the
blood drive link on the homepage and thank you and we hope to see everybody giving blood on the 17th and that's very important. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Clark. Um, okay. I I got You think that was long? I've got one, three times as long from the library.
I'm not going to read it, but I kept scrolling down, scrolling down, scrolling down like Okay, I'm going to try to summarize. Uh, number one, our library is just ridiculously incredibly thorough. Um, go to their website, please, because I'm not going to do it justice in this meeting, but go to their
website. They have daily programs. They have weekly programs. They have all kinds of programs for little kids and toddlers. I'm going to read off a couple of them quick. Not going to give you anywhere near the detail I was I was given, but they have a puzzle exchange through the end of this month, through the end of January. If you have uh
gently used uh jigsaw puzzles, please bring them to the library. they recycle them among, you know, kids and and attendees. Um there are weekly programs where kids little kids can play with Legos and other games on Mondays. Um
they do crafts for kids on Thursdays. Every Monday, every Thursday, Fridays are read and play for little kids at 9:15 in the morning. The list really goes on and on. Um there's landscape drawing, there's chair yoga, there's all kinds of things. It's really quite
fascinating. Um, I will say this though, right now, uh, the library has certain areas within the library closed for repairs. So, if you have attempted to go there, the first floor is is largely out of commission. Um, right now you can't use computers, you can't use the
printers. Uh, you can still borrow books. They have an online catalog. You can get a lot of borrowing, a lot of supplies from online catalog. Uh they won't have newspapers, but they do have online access to Aspberry Park Press and
U New York Times. Uh and their Fourth Avenue book drop is closed at the moment, but the Hammond Avenue book drop is open. So again, just keep in mind there's so much out there. Um please get to their website, just check it out,
especially your little children or grandchildren. um you could spend many happy hours there with your with those kids. Um otherwise um there's been a ton going on broadly around affordable housing. We there were a couple things as I mentioned earlier that we were
hopeful to get on the agenda today but uh Bradley as of this weekend really as of Friday we were told we do have a settlement in place with affordable housing which is great news. Again, some typos precluded us from in the agreement precluded us from uh approving it
tonight. But uh but you know, I want to tip my hat to Jen Beam, our planner. Actually, the chairman of our landings board, Mr. Cohen, drafted helped draft some of the overlay zones. So, thank you TJ for that. Uh but that's a very
significant accomplishment. We'll we'll take a formal bow once we can actually approve the settlement, but I just want to let everybody know that's coming and that's really good news. Other than that, uh that really concludes my comments for tonight and I will move to item 14 on our agenda,
which is opening it up to public comment. Any comments or questions from the public? Yes, this lady. Hello, I'm Jean Lady from 419 Place and I represent the seniors at Bradley
Beach. We We have a senior organization which has been in existence. We're in our 33rd year. This year though, we finally made the the town calendar. We made it last year too and this year too, and they put the
wrong dates. So, um it is what it is, but we meet the fourth Wednesday of every month except in the summer. I just wanted to clear that up. And we
had we started with 14 and we're up to like about 35 come. Now I hear that if you got you applied for a grant and I think that you applied today for a permanent grant maker
would be a very good thing and I want to know if anyone knows if it was filed because the grant for the seniors had to be filed by the 13th of January and if it wasn't filed it isn't worth talking about because we finished. So,
does anyone know if it was filed? >> I I don't believe it was filed. I believe we approved the >> but it had been filed by the state and u >> that's the first >> and so whatever. So that it has many
questions about that where it supposedly would be shared with Neptune city. So that makes things you know the thing is if we get a grant and uh
the seniors that live in town should be on the committee to give their suggestions because we live here and we have done it and it's all my last thing is
I have lived here for 26 years. I like this town very much and I like the people. We are very amazing people and But I want you to go on the council to give the town people first
big on tourism. Don't sell our property. Give us our sewers and uh not sell them out. Just remember we're here and people. And we have like
we have many investors and they are just what they are investors. They're not they're not neighbors. They're just there for themselves. And so which is a different makes a different clientele.
That's it ladies and and gentlemen. Thank you for listening to me. Have a happy new year and thank you. >> Thank you. And Miss Lady, I I'll look into the the grant application. That's the first I've heard that you that you believe there was an earlier deadline.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Other comments or questions? Yes, sir. Mr. Shut William Fifth Avenue down Bradley Beach. On January 10th of this year, we lost one of our beloved uh resident George
Stanley Albert, a Korean War veteran. The reason I'm bringing this up is for the simple fact that his name is placed as serving in the Vietnam War and not in the Korean War on that wall right there
on the ground. This request to correct his status has been mentioned to previous administrations not only by him and members of his family but also by many of his friends. I won.
It is amazing how during election time people will come knock on his door asking for a vote yet they will not correct his status on that wall for many years. George took much pride in serving his
country in the Korean War. I'm asking in this public forum to please correct his service record. give George and his family the honors that he so deserves
as being a Korean War veteran, please. >> And Mr. Sh, this is the first I'm hearing this, but you're saying, what are you asking us to do? Make put his name >> on the Korean War listed as a Vietnam War veteran. >> I Yeah, I'm learning this obviously for
the first time, but somehow striking. That's why I'm bringing it up in this form because it was mentioned to Larry person to person that ears. It was mentioned to dad person to person deers.
So, I decided instead of mentioning to you, like I said, I wanted to talk to you, but instead of talking to you in private, I'm going to bring it up in public so that everybody knows. Please correct. And we have, here's another thing. You have that right there, Wall
of Honor. You have one over there, missing a lot of names. You have another one over there, missing a lot of names. >> You take the money. Let's take the money and spend it wisely. Correct. All this, you know.
>> Yeah. And if you would be so good, you apparently know what names are missing. This is the first you brought this to our attention. So, do you have the names that should be on included on these appropriate panels? >> Why not? >> But do you have the names?
>> Not all of them. Not World War II. >> That's what I mean. I don't know how long these have been hanging. >> No, I don't know how long these have been hanging on or lost, but again, we will absolutely correct them if someone would give us the information or tell us.
>> That's something. >> Okay. Well, thank you for bringing it to our certainly for Mr. Albert. We'll get right on that. >> Thank you. >> Uh, other comments or questions from Mia, sir? Hey, Bob West 518.
Just a quick question, comment, reference to uh 2026-1 801 Main Street. This this ordinance was just to correct it so we can get now get four four units. I think my question
might be more aimed at the landing board. Is there going to be as far developers still going to have to go through regular channels as to what this is going to look like? Plans been approved yet? That's still down the road. >> No, actually and and I know you're a
brand new appointment to the the planning board. Um the answer is no. What in terms of what it looks like and everything that's already been approved a number of years ago. This is this is defining a new overlay. So this is just
to me but as far as the size and scope of this thing that's already been >> well I'm going to turn to Mr. Quinn who's chair but but has the application been renewed? >> Well this settlement which is AH4 is the
template for what the developer wants and what the town agreed to. Uh it's still subject to site plan. So a full site plan based upon the height, the parking, the number of units that will all come to us whenever the
developer decides, but the zoning is now in place. >> I mean, anything will look better than what left to be there. >> Yeah. I don't sit out in Uber anymore because it's ugly. >> To your point, to your point, the the parking was modified to the 1.5.
>> Yes. >> But I'm told it's going to remain in it same footprint and height. So, >> we'll see. We'll see. I mean, it is 48 ft high. >> It is 24 units. Now, what that appropriation of units is, we don't know. >> Um, the layout for the parking his
engineers will have to submit that. So, we'll get a substantial review from the land use board, but you know, the the rules of zoning are in place that, you know, we will use as a template. >> Thank you, Bob. Other comments or questions in the room? Okay, let me
turn. Yes, sir. Thank you for waiting so patiently. >> Gloria, >> he's getting there. >> He's getting there. We can't hear you over there. >> You're still muted. >> Still muted. >> Yeah, we can't hear you. No,
>> he can't hear us. >> No, you have to unmute. >> Can you unmute? >> He said he's trying. >> Oh, he's trying. >> Oh, okay. >> You reading list. >> Okay. Oh, he needs permission to unmute. >> Yeah. >> Who's got permission? Uh
>> Michelle. Michelle, can you unmute him, please? Yep. There we go. >> Am I unmuted? >> Good. >> Thank you. Can you hear me all? >> Yes. >> Oh, Bur, I'm still muted by you. >> No, we can hear you.
>> We can hear you. >> We can hear you. >> He can't hear us. I hear you. >> We hear you. >> You >> We hear you. >> No, we me. >> No, we can hear you. >> We We can >> Oh, you can. Okay, good. I'm sorry.
Anyway, look, I just I I I just wanted to tell you guys I really appreciate the fact that you adjusted the special parking permits and you heard, you know,
non-resident speaking taxpayers and I think you you are to be commended for that and I really appreciate that on behalf of my wife. The only question I had is that you adjusted one of the New Jersey permit uh options. I I don't know
which one was, but 9B3 and 9 A3 both state you need a New Jersey permit. So if you would review that and make sure all the four other state requirements are out uh you know any you got it. Okay.
>> Yeah. During during we made that edit, we added more equivalents from other states >> for both of those uh sections. >> Uh definitely in A3. What was the other section?
>> Uh 9 B3. >> 9 B3. 9 >> uh 9-B3. >> I'll pull it back up again. >> Well, you know what? We'll >> Yeah, just take out the New Jersey stuff
and and make it other equivalent after you read through and um that's all good. And and again, uh I I I'm just wondering when this paper will be out for the doctor, uh the doctor's note or not note, but the >> It's available now.
>> Oh, it is. Is it is it on the website? >> Uh no, but I don't know if it's posted yet, but it is available if you could contact Burl Hall uh you know, during >> Okay, good. >> Michelle Michelle Wy >> and and then u the uh uh uh original
application still applies, correct? >> What do you mean the original? >> The the Well, we submitted an original application >> for this year for 2026. >> Yes. >> Yes. Uh some have not yet submitted and others have. If you've already submitted
it, we can begin the processing once you complete the attestation form. >> Okay, great. And I I really again want to thank you all uh for considering this and I think your compromise is fantastic
and uh both my wife and I really appreciate it. >> Well, we appreciate the feedback you gave us. It's not often we go as far as introducing an ordinance and then, you know, removing it, but your feedback was very uh very powerful and and we
appreciate it. So, thank you. >> Okay, guys. Have a great night. Thank you. Thank you. >> Say hi to Gloria. >> I will. >> All right. Are there any other comments or questions? I don't see anything.
>> Okay. Uh I will make a motion. Well, we'll close public comment and I will make a motion to adjourn. >> I second. All in favor? >> I I Thank you. Okay. But they have >> I think it was only
