agenda. I'll turn to Council President Denobyl in a second and then we will proceed to an executive session that should run 20 minutes or a little more 20 to 25 minutes. Um, so just a heads up, the full meeting won't really get
going for about a half an hour. But with that said, chain, did you care to make a motion, sir? >> Sure. Um, I'd like to make a motion that we do the presentations and bids first. Do I have a second? Second. Second. >> Mh. Mr. Noble. Yes. M. Greenlat. >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes.
>> Mayor Guboszi. >> Yes. >> Okay. I switch my glasses so I can see both. >> Okay. So, we are going to start out on a very happy note and we're delighted to present a certificate of appreciation this evening. Our superintendent, Dr. H
Highleberg, the board of ed members, and the entire staff at the Bradley Elementary School work incredibly hard, consistently going above and beyond. And it's truly exciting when we get to recognize someone for their outstanding
lur. And tonight, we honor a dedicated educator who has made a tremendous impact. Heather Sauer has been teaching science to the grades uh three through eight, third grade through 8th grade for the past 11 years. And this year she
received the prestigious recognition as a sustainability hero. Heather's initiatives including founding the environmental club, organizing the planting of grass in the dunes, and estab establishing a working hydroponic
garden for their students. On behalf of the mayor and council, we would like to thank Heather Sauer for her dedication, innovation, and leadership and sustainability. Please join us in congratulating her as we present the
certificate of appreciation. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> So we are going to present the certificate of appreciation. Hello role play. This is presented to Heather Sour,
sustainability era for inspiring and engaging Bradley Beach Elementary School students in hands-on science education projects to promote health, energy efficiency, and environmental awareness. And this is a quote from Heather. We are
a small but mighty community and together we can make a real difference. That is the essence of sustainability. Ed here from the superintendent of Bradley Beach Elementary. >> Okay.
You sure? Ready? >> Perfect. >> Would you like to say a few words? >> Uh, yes. I am going to read off piece of paper possibly, but I'm going to try my best to do it. So, first of all, I'm truly humbled and honored to be here
tonight to be recognized by all of you. This is such a big recognition and I literally could not have done it without everyone by my side, Dr. Haidider, my own family who's here tonight, the board of education, my students who are my
heart, my environmental club, um the staff at Bradley Beach Elementary School, the families at Bradley Beach Elementary School, and just BB like Bradley Beach as a whole. Like I am honored to be such a part of such an amazing school and
community and that's why we are where we are tonight. Um, and again, I know it was an individual award, but it shouldn't have been. I really wish it could have been a whole group award because this was not just me. This Bridget Ting actually started this with me and she's the one who got it up and
running with me and I literally could not have done it without her. So, I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone here tonight, Bradley Beach community, and again my staff, my family, my my kids, sorry, you also done
tree information with all of our kids and I've learned so much through you. So, thank you so much. But again, everyone, thank you. I really appreciate this recognition. It's really big, but it's because of all of you. Like I said, small but mighty, right? So, there we
are. So, let's continue this sustainability and I look forward to doing that with you guys in the future. >> Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
>> This guy made me do a recycling video when I first started at least what 12 years ago. He's like, "We want sustainability for the town. Let's talk about recycling." >> Wait, talk about efficiency. That all that speech was on that little piece of paper.
>> Yeah. >> Oh, thank you very much everyone. I >> Thank you so much. >> Okay. So, now we will return to the um agenda and move to item five, which is executive session. And as I mentioned earlier, we expect this will be about 20 minutes or so. Um, and then we will
return. So, I'll make a motion to move to executive session. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat. >> Yes. >> Mr. Niki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. >> Mayorosi? >> Yes. >> Oh, right.

>> Okay. I will make a motion that we return to public. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. Miss Greenlat. Yes, Mr. Nikki. >> Yes, >> Mr. Weber. Yes. >> Mayor Guboszi. Next up, we um have resolution 2025-304,
a resolution authorizing the settlement of pending litigation before the Superior Court of New Jersey. Would um anybody like to make any additional comments or questions on this? The floor, please go ahead. Yes,
>> I would actually. I am just looking for the actual resolution in my list here. Sorry, that's okay. It came today. >> Y I just wanted to share um what was written in the resolution specifically
um and share this with the public. um that despite the burrow's continuing denial of any liability in the action, it is in the best interest of the taxpayers of the burrow that the action be fully and finally settled in so far as the GIF is financially responsible.
Therefore, the borrow previously tendered its deductible to the GIF and the borrow cannot bear the cost of continuing litigation in the event of adverse effects upon its insurance coverage. That's fair play. This is a basically a
business business decision. They're um where the bureau is denying all the allegations and the claims made therein and um they're expressively denying all liability. So, um rather than continue to litigate and
defend against the claims made, the GIF is financially responsible for the action except for the bureau's $1,500 deductible. Any further comments? >> Yeah, I just wanted to add that um when we say business decision, this all comes
down to the cost of litigation and um and what insurance companies how we measure risk and at the end of the day um what is that risk with that number become so much more or less based on a jury? And therefore, when you look at
these in my experience with corporate America and other HR issues and whatnot and claims, um you're best off finding and following that advice of the professionals and looking to see how to balance that risk, minimizing it. And with a $1,500,
um payment remaining for us, it's the right thing to do is to to close this down and um advance uh Bradley Beach to the future um and put this behind us. We move move the burough forward. I agree. Any other comments? Okay. I'd like to
make a motion that we approve resolution 2025-304. Second. >> Mr. Noble? >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat? >> Yes. >> Mr. Nikki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> No. >> Mayor Guboszi? >> I will abstain.
Okay, back to the uh agenda. Item six is workshops and today we have none scheduled. Item seven, we have already covered the presentations. Item eight, approval of minutes. And I will make a motion that we approve the minutes from September 16, 2025 council business
meeting. >> Second. Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mr. Green, yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Gubos, >> yes. Item nine on the agenda. Uh, opening it up to public comments or questions pertaining to any item on the agenda only.
Public comment or questions. Yes. Yes. >> Thank you very much. I'm Marcy Young uh representing Clean Water Action live in Lraftoft, New Jersey. Want to thank you all very very much for the introduc the introduction of skip the stuff ordinance which is the campaign in which
businesses provide cutlery and condiments upon request. You guys will make 26th New Jersey uh uh policy and uh which is fabulous. I did a case study for the town of Redbank which shows a
94% reduction in the amount of stuff the businesses are providing which equates to money saved for these businesses. Let alone the fact that more often than not the cutlery and condiments are given to people who take it home and we don't
know what to do with it. So we shove it in a junk tour. Uh we put it directly into the waste basket. we put it in the, you know, the the little ketchup packets or mayonnaise packets in the back of the refrigerator until they begin to rot or spill out the doors.
That is a huge benefit to businesses, let alone the litter that's going to save uh the towns. The uh you know 70% of litter comes from food and beverages which clog storm drains which then add
to flooding for towns. plastic is making the news or the amount of contamination that we're all exposed to. You know, eating that plastic fork that breaks is an easy way of proving to the studies
that that we now have a plastic spoon's worth of uh weight of a plastic spoon in our brain. Um, but it's leading to breast cancer, uh, vicular cancers, uh, infertility and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and a slew of other diseases. So, thank you very much.
Really appreciate your leadership on this. Uh the state is hopefully going to be passing state uh during lame duck. We're getting great momentum on that. Great uh feedback um strong legislation
and support. So, thank you very much. Really appreciate your support. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Other comments or questions? Yes, sir. West 518 just just to clarify that pass resolution
with the way that vote rolled out. So it was approved one abstain. >> Yes, >> it takes it takes three. So just to clarify. Okay. Thank you. >> Sure. Thank you. Other comments or
questions in the room? Nope. >> Anyone on Zoom? Okay, seeing none, we'll close public comment. Move on to item 10 on the agenda, ordinances. And we have a number of ordinances to introduce this evening. Um, let me just remind everyone that we
won't open any of these items to public comment during the introduction phase. In our next council meeting, to the extent we're moving them forward to adopt, uh, you'll have opportunities to comment as a public. Um, so for uh introductions, first bond ordinance is
2025, I'm sorry. Yeah, the first ordinance is a bond ordinance 2025-31. Uh, any comments or questions from the council? >> I just wanted to point out first of all um that this um this uh increase amount
to appropriate is for the gate uh to include the gate. That correct? >> This the outlet gate that's on the lake, >> right? that controls the water flow out of the lake to the ocean outfall that's under construction today. >> Right? So to get that in in this project
is huge for everyone who lives near silver. Um, so I just wanted to say that and also um there's an 8020 uh liability, right? So the >> 25 7525 >> Oh, 7525. So 25 is shared between
Bradley Beach and Adam >> for the project. The change order though right now is not necessarily going to be um 7525. We're in discussions with D for them to apply their contingency. They have contingency money in their contract. So, as a worst case, we'll be
sharing a 50/50 with Avon. >> Um, but we're um hopeful that DP will not spend all their contingency money and we'll be able to apply some of that money towards this construction so that it would help um provide some, you know,
alleviate some cost to the burrows. And so, um, and worst case was that we were going to have to do this, bid it out ourselves, go through a lengthy process. and D is also expediting our permits and working with us so that we can incorporate this into this construction
project versus us going on a long uh you know dam approval process. Um I say damn not as an adjective as a noun um that would take long period of time to get through the whole process. but because they're doing this work down there
already. And this is we've argued that this is um connected to that project that they're they're in agreement to incorporate this as long as we could demonstrate that the funding would be in place in November and they would work with us to get the permits in place and be able to move it into construction in
the winter months. >> So the worst case scenario on the gate would be a $960,000 liability shared with with Avon >> and the best case scenario would be that we paid that the two communities paid 25% of that.
>> That would be the best case. Okay. Could be a better case if the cost can well and right the costs are not there yet. That's an estimate and so we still have to go through a negotiation with the contractor to be able to establish the price. >> Great job.
>> The one other point that you haven't yet mentioned, but I think it's important for the residents to understand. We did a bond ordinance back in 22 for 3.5 million. Uh, and when we do a bond ordinance, we're authorizing the bureau to borrow it, but we don't actually
borrow the money, take the money out until we need it. What we're doing is amending that ordinance from a couple years ago, for three years ago, to add on the number you guys have been discussing, the 960,000, because the original 3.5 million was tied to the
outfall pipe, the pipe that runs right out into the ocean. In order to do the work on the alpha pipe, what Councilman Nikki and and our engineers and our uh contractors have identified is we need to be able we don't have a functioning gate. That's a separate project.
However, we deemed it necessary to do it in order to fix the alpha pipe. So, we're building we're amending this bond ordinance to include the repair of the gate in the broader alpha project. And that's important in terms of how we
apply for grant funding and so forth to make sure it's all part of the same project. >> And this is to replace the gate. >> Yes. Replacement. >> Yeah. Full replacement. And the amendment is, as you heard, 960,000. That's 800,000 of estimated hard costs,
160,000 of estimated soft costs. Soft cost being designed by the engineers and permitting and things like that. >> Construction management. >> Yep. So it that number could be less. That is what we were advised to authorize to borrow, but we always
authorize on the high end to make sure we have enough. So it it could be a few hundred,000 less, and certainly we're hoping it will be. So with any other comment, I'll make a motion that we approve the introduction of bond ordinance 2025-31.
>> Second. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. Mr. Green, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes. >> Mayor Kubosi. >> Yes. Introduction of ordinance 2020 of amendment to uh ordinance uh it's
2025-32. This is the now famous skip the stuff uh ordinance introduction. Uh any comments or questions? >> I have even though we've had great comment from the public uh I'll just reiterate 25 pounds done this in New
Jersey. We would be the 26th. There's a state bill pending, so maybe we can be the town that got the state to move it along and uh and get it done. Um we we workshopped this a while ago, everybody will remember. Um I definitely got some feedback from some businesses in town.
um some of them are essentially already doing this and um you know on the one hand some say well we're already doing this so we don't need an ordinance but I really thought about this long and hard and with the environmental commission and others and uh you know we can't always count on having these great responsible businesses in town that do
the right thing without a law so it's probably better off to have a law it's going to cut down on plastic waste and um sweat communitative assessment is it time to second it may >> well thank you councilman or you make it. >> Well, number one, thank you for leading
us down this particular path. Uh, it was your initiative that brought it to our attention. Uh, any other comments or questions? >> Okay. I will make a motion that we approve the introduction of 2025-32. Skip the st. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. Yes. Mr. Greenblat. Yes.
>> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. I probably should note that the next one, two, three, four ordinance introductions are largely cleanup efforts on our part before year end. Um, little things we've and if you look at
any of these, you'll see they're relatively minor edits, changes. I I'll briefly mention them as we go through them, but largely cleanup efforts on the part of the council to just get us ready for 2026. So with that said, the next introduction is 2025-33,
an ordinance amending chapter 270 land development of the buroughs to revise general ordinances to revise and clarify regulations pertaining to planting strips. This the changes are largely focused on wording in our ordinance that
we're we're finding difficult to um to enforce. Specifically, uh we have current language that talks about grandfathering uh artificial turf for example or pavers, things that should not be in the planting strip that are if we say it
grandfathered uh before a certain date. But it's really difficult if not impossible for us to track when some of these additions of astrour uh papers were made. So we're amending the language just to make it a little cleaner for our own enforcability. Any
comments or questions on this one? Yeah, I I have some comments and questions. Um, it seems I I agree with you about the grandfathering. I I I do get that. Um, I feel like we used to make a distinction. Um, you know, we're we're sort of saying
nothing but grass. Um, but they are if you have a property without driveway, you are allowed to have a walkway not more than 3 ft wide um across the planting strip. And I thought that we we used to make a distinction about a curve cut. Like if that cur if there's a curve cut there, like that's you definitely
have that. If you don't have a curve cut, I don't know why you should be allowed to just have that. Um and that seems to have that part has gone away. Um I just feel like some people that don't have a a walkway across a planet, they're
going to just going to put one because they it just says they can. Whereas I thought it used to just say you well if they don't have a driveway then yeah um I just feel like some more people are gonna put that in. Um but what does that leave once if you do have a driveway and
there's a curb cut for that walkway across the planning strip. What does that leave back? >> Uh I'm thank you for your question. I got to make sure I understand it, John, because I believe we did not change the language. You said that we've changed
it. Are where are you seeing that? What? >> I think that language was already there and we did not change it. >> Do you have it? Um, can you reference >> what section it is? >> I was just going from memory that we used to make this distinction about the curb cut and it seemed like now that
that is not the case. >> I don't think we've made any changes. All we're all we're basically saying for that particular issue, the cement wall is um you know those those cement those little 3T by 3T squares and a lot of us
my own house uh we have these in in the planning strip. It's a it's a perfect coverage. It's not it goes back to the horse and buggy days. We don't really need that as a general rule. So what this was attempting to do was along with other things we don't care to have in
the planner ship such as astrourf pavers. >> Sure. Sure. I I >> the not um grandfathering but what it got limited it's the bottom of the first page. The part that was eliminated was for properties with driveways walkways within the grass planting strip our
grandfather and permitted but may not be enlarged if the walkway was in place and aligned with the curb cut. So again, we used to make this distinction that if you even if you had a driveway, if you had a curb cut to that walkway across the planting strip, that was okay. Keep
that. So I'm wondering now that we're this is getting rid of that, where does that leave property with a driveway that has a walkway across the planting strip and also has a curb cut. >> Okay. So you left the most important part as you read that, which is aligned with a curve cut as of July 15, 2020s.
Right. So, we could not measure when some of these take place unless unless our uh code enforcement is going out every day and we're seeing new cement saying, "Oh, they put in a new thing." I >> I think it would just it would show up on someone's survey. So, if they ever
>> Okay, that's just not the way code enforcement works. They don't they're not going to >> Well, I know. But, if somebody asked me and said I mean, if it ever became an issue, it became like, "Can you keep it? Can you not keep it? If you can't produce a survey before that date that shows it, then you can't keep it. And if you can produce a survey before that
date, then you keep it. >> Well, okay. It what you're describing is an enforcement nightmare because they they just can't do that easily. But what this it's not telling people who have it like I have one. It's not telling me I
have to take it out tw if I live this long 20 years from now when I sell my house to take occupancy. the new owner would have to deal with the curb cut. So, we're not aggressively taking anything away other than over time, we'd
like all of our um planning shifts to have more pvious coverage. So, so for example, if you have a curb cut, this is not an imposition on you until someone wants to buy your house, go. >> No, I understand that. It's just a lot like doing the curb work is a lot more
work than just picking up a couple favors that you took across the final. >> Do you want to propose a change in the language at all? >> No, I just want to make sure I understand the way this is. So, >> so when there's a curb when there's a curb cut and someone sells their house
next year, the new occupants need to remove that curb cut. >> The curb cut for the for the walkway, not curve >> in the walkway. In the walkway, because there's so many homes with curb cuts, right? >> Yeah. It's not. >> Yeah, >> it's not. >> No, you're saying >> No, we're talking about the cement the 3
foot by 3 foot cement slab. Some of them have curve cuts. >> That's what I mean. >> We're not saying remove the curb cut. We're saying you have to remove the cement slab. >> That's I guess that's what I meant. So, any home that turns over that has that would have to do that. >> Yeah. By the way, code goes through this
with every well, they should if we're doing our job collectively, they should go through this with every CCO certificate of current occupancy. So, you know, they check for I don't know garbage disposals and uh you know, whatever uh all kinds of things on your
property. Are you in compliance or not? And it's up to you, the property owner, to work with the person buying your property. Is your property in compliance? So it's it'll be a thing added to a checklist saying you got to remove the cement from better shore.
>> It's an effort just to make more impervious land. You know we have a lot of responsibility being here at the ocean and you know you want to reduce storm water uh flooding ponding. >> So I recently removed mine. I had my sidewalk worked on and I got rid of that
piece between >> the sidewalk and the street. I mean just knowing the streets of Bradley Beach also there are so many >> cement planting strips. >> Yes. Things like that. All of those things have to be remediated when there's a turnover on property. >> Yes.
>> The other thing that we're doing is when you replace the sewer and they do the laterals from the main and center of the street out to the property to make the connection. If they if the contractor disturbs that little uh you know walkway on that plane strip, they're not going to replace the walkway. They're going to
put it back as grass unless of course you don't have a driveway then you're allowed to have it. So that would be revised. >> Okay. >> Thank you for I appreciate that discussion. >> Does anyone want to propose any edits or
changes to this language? >> All right. I I'll make a motion that we approve ordinance 2025-33 um pertaining to re revising and clarifying regulations uh for the our planning ships. >> Second, Mr. Noble, yes.
>> Miss Greenbla, yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. 2025-34 is we're amending a a couple of zoning fees. Again, we've done this throughout the year. These are fees that haven't been updated in probably over a decade.
Uh, for example, moving uh, zoning permit application from $45 to $75. Uh, any comments or questions? >> All right. I will make a motion that we approve 2025-34
uh, amending chapter 450 of zoning. >> Second, >> Mr. Noble? >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat? Yes. >> Mr. Nikki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. >> Mayor Kubosi? Yes. 2025-35. This is another modest amendment, but it's important
once again pertains to grandfathering, which as I mentioned earlier, we just have no ability to measure dates of of when things were planted or or cement that it's been uh placed. In this case, we are amending our bamboo and invasive
plants, invasive species ordinance to remove grandfathering language. Any comments or questions? >> Um, am I right? This since this one's not marked up. This is you just started fresh, but you don't. This is not
>> right. But you're not. >> No, this there's not like straightroughs and and underlines like there should be though. I think >> you said it was replace replacing. >> Okay. >> Said that in the beginning, didn't >> So my only Okay. My only thing and this
it seems really good. Um, I definitely remember talking to a person that removes bamboo for a living and their problem with our ordinance was that they said there's no reason to come out and inspect
unless you know except for like a year later. So, I see in the the third page, letter C, there's follow-up inspections one, two, and three. At the bottom of that third page, um, says code enforcement come out in 30 days. Then it says they'll come out in 6 months and 12 months. Do you remember talking to this
person the the contract? I I remember I thought he was adamant about once a year like there's no reason to come back. I mean I don't know if that substantially changes this but um do you know how we got the same thing about the NFL? >> Um it was from you know plagiarizing
from other ordinances but um that was one other related challenge that we face is there's no such thing as um bamboo licensing. So we can't say a licensed shampoo >> check, >> right? It's just he just does it for I'm just taking >> Yeah. So in our effort to get the best
answer, >> uh we probably aired on the side of over inspecting, but the person you and I spoke with was come back in a year because you can't tell anything. >> This ordinance was a compromise because we we only had inspected upon removal.
>> Yeah. >> And so this was supposed to be six months of >> Let me ask the attorney a quick question. Greg, if we pass this in this form and then really we talk about it, we figure out that really we should take a sentence out of this thing and get rid of the six-month inspection. Can we pass
the same ordinance and at the next meeting even though there's a sentence difference >> to to what? Remove interim inspection from it. >> Yeah, >> I say that's a nominal change. I don't think that that doesn't change what the ordinance is. >> Okay. We could pass this as today like do a little more homework and if we
decide if they're fine. Is that that okay with the admit remove? >> Well, you know other discussion. >> Well, I mean like so first you within 30 days you have to remove it. Then six months they're going to check see how it's going and then they do it again in 12 months. I don't think there's any harm in doing it.
>> Right. This guy >> and I'm not remembering forbidden what he said. He said there's just no sense in coming back until a year has gone. Well, >> like I think it was because it's not going to spring, it's not going to propagate and send out new things to like the spring. So, depending on what
time of year, like six months later, it could be, you know, and that's sound almost sounds like a waste of uh inspection resources if and they're limited. So, I'm not saying change it now. Let's pass this one as is. I'm totally fine with that. And >> not that many residents that have this. It's not like, you know, how >> I'm interested in getting it right
because we're redoing this because we really made a great effort last time um through practice. we found out that it could be a little bit better. So, I was just trying to go with what the what that expert said. Um, let me let me do my due diligence, share with all you and
if we want to take out a sentence in the next one, can we do it? >> Fair enough. >> And John, if if you what you're thinking you want to review, it's the six month uh inspection. >> Yeah. >> So, so for example, if you want to take that out, it would be as simple as item number two,
additional inspections shall occur. It' be singular and additional inspection shall occur at 12 months. >> Yeah, exactly. >> And Greg, you think that would be u uh minor enough that we would not have to reintroduce the ordinance?
>> Well, to remove one of the inspections if it's not needed? No. Yeah. In the overall regulatory like that changes a lot of things about the regulations. That's not a very big part of it. Not a big part of it. >> Not a very big part of it. Okay. >> I just want to make sure
I'm confirming what what John said. Okay, I'm okay with it. >> Okay. Any other comments or questions about uh 2025-35 bamboo? >> Okay. I will make a motion that we uh
approve the introduction of 2025-35 bamboo invasive plants, noting that Councilman Weber may do additional review before adoption. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble. Yes. Miss Greenblat. Yes. Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes.
>> Mayor Gubzi. >> Yes. Ordinance 2025-36, the last of our introductions. Um, amending chapter 160, construction codes, uniform certificates of occupancy of the burough's revised general
ordinances. Um, all this is again as cleanup. A number of months ago, we changed almost all of our fees. At that point, uh, they a lot of them were 20 years old or older. they had not been updated. We have a new construction uh
official, Brian Curry, uh new and now he's backed with the burrow. He's been with the burrow before. Uh he identified to us a handful, probably 10 across five pages of uh boards, maybe 10 fees that
um we had adjusted that needed to be readjusted to align with uniform commercial uniform construction code. So you can look through the document if you'd like, but they're relatively nominal adjustments. We just have to make sure we're aligned with the UCCA.
>> I can comment that please. >> Um so um item H I guess what they just have shown me. Um the fee for sighting work uh completed on structures um that's been completely removed. So we've
removed that that requirement for a fee. I'm guessing, I don't know this, but I'm guessing that's because you no longer need a permit for roofing and siding work that you'd be whereas you used to. Does that sound right?
>> Anybody else? >> Yes. >> Right. Correct. >> Is that correct? Okay. I did not know that. >> Okay. So, that was one question I had. And then the other it references on page three um uh where in the burrow um um um
let me just say page three so I'm not able to read my own notes. Um the fee to erect a fence greater than six feet in height shall be $75. Do we have fences greater than six feet in height in the burrow? >> We do not. Good catch.
>> That'll be a variance. And where's uh page? >> Page three. >> Letter out. >> Letter. >> The middle of the page. No, no, not towards the top. >> Letter up. >> Yeah. No, I see. I see there. >> And that didn't change, right? That's already in our ordinances.
>> Yeah. >> Well, Paul makes a good point. You could reactive fence to six feet, but you would need a variance. I'm not sure you would ever get such variance, but I It >> only cost you $75. Again,
this is intended to be clean up. Uh, no one had any in-depth discussions about why we should have fences over 60, but um, this wasn't even a chain of attendance. Sean, it's not I don't know. We I don't want to strike it. You want
to table the entire uh, edit until we find out more? I just don't >> I just don't see any reason if we if we don't allow fences greater than six feet at this point why we would have that in there. That's all. Yeah, I guess it's the obvious is that if they got in a variance to get in, they'd have to pay 75 bucks.
>> And if we had nothing in there and they got a variance for it, >> they wouldn't have to pay 75 bucks. Is there a difference on and I don't know this residential versus like a commercial property? Are you allowed to have a tall fence on a commercial property? >> So, so that's the only thought I would
have. If you had like an industrial lot, you wanted an 8 foot fence, would that be allowed based on the ordinances? maybe around garbage. >> And and then if you look further, item S, it says each item not listed above shall be a fee of $75. So that would
take care of it if um that's the case. I think if that's what's intended in that verbiage, >> apparently there are other things that our construction officials identified could not be may not be included. And he wanted that catch all. I
>> So that catch all though would cover fence greater than six feet. if if somebody knew to apply it, right? I don't I can't debate this with you. I don't know. >> Yeah. No, I'm just pointing that >> construction. Um All right. I think we table it until we do the
followup on it. I don't want to strike it without knowing if there's any significance to it. Uh everyone okay if I make that motion? Any other comments or questions? Okay, I I'll make a motion that we table
uh the introduction of 2025-36 until we specifically can understand uh section >> 160 160-3 >> B10 >> 1.
Is there a second? >> Second, >> Mr. Noble? >> Yes. Mr. Greenblat? >> Yes. Mr. Nikki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. Mayor Dubosi. >> Yes. Okay. We finally are out of the introductions
and we do have an ordinance to adopt. It is the It is the off streetet parking and driveway and loading requirements of chapter 450 zoning of the Bur Revised general ordinances to prohibit front yard fences. Um, and before I open it up
to the public, are there any council comments or questions? >> Well, speaking of grandfathering, uh, there are some front yard fences out there. So, presumably they would just stay until one of those
triggers like selling the house, that kind of thing. >> Yes. >> Not in my yard. Nothing prevents anybody to come and get a zoning variance to permit that to get a front yard fence. If they could
demonstrate a need and the land use board did review this uh ordinance introduction when the council first approved it. They agreed that it is this change is consistent with master plan. Uh and now it's back
to us to whether or not we want to adopt. Okay. No other comments or questions from the council. I'd like to open it up to the public. Any comments or questions from the public? Yes. Yes. >> Yes. Make a motion. >> Oh, I make a motion that we >> Mr. Noble. Yes.
>> Mr. Greenblat. Yes. >> Mr. Nikki. Yes. >> Mr. Weber. Yes. >> Mayor Kubosi. >> Yes. >> Ariana. >> I 200 Evergreen. >> Um, was there ever a discussion about exempting corner offs
from front yard fences? presenting corner lots. >> Yeah, >> corner lots in terms of how uh front yard um is the backyard. >> I mean, I might not have personally been
privy to it. I know the general discussions I was personally involved in were related to uh line of sight. So whether so on a corner lot, the issues concerning line of sight would have applied I think for a corner lot for either side, the front or the side.
there if I could at least that was actually something that had come to the land use board that basically created this um you know identified as a potential consideration because of driveways um and some having two car drive you know two car driveways on even
on the side lot you know of a corner that frontage with um fences along there. Many of those if you go out and look would have to be defined um how to provide that sighteline and not you know not every location is similar to porn a
lot of where people have fences today um and the types of fences vary and could vary nothing specified. So um the the consideration was applied to both corner lot as well as a front yard that does not sit on the corner. So both are
frontage of of streets. So they're considered front lots. So that would apply on both sides of a corner lot. And so there was consideration and discussion around that even at the land use board that brought this to council and for us to have considered it. So
there really is no from a sighteline difference. It it it applies similarly. it it matters not because of the driveways and having fences blocking potentially blocking views of somebody on the sidewalk walking along um and
approaching a a driveway especially if you have another car parked adjacent to it and and you have limited length backing out but you can't see and so yes to your question it was considered
>> so I I personally have a disagreement with that having a front yard fence and a driveway because I think there's a lot of things that create sighteline issues including plantings and and many many many things. Um so I think it's very
unfair that I will now if I sell my house have to get a variance and pay money to get this fence approved when I is that what you're saying? >> No you would No, your fence would be there. You'd sell your >> You just said if if I go to sell it >> I didn't say Wouldn't the buyer be
liable to I think if you went to sell your house, you would just have to remove the fence. You know, >> you're poking. >> No, that's a >> it's a major part of aesthetic. And >> this gentle woman has a fence on the
side of her >> yard. If she sells it, she's not going to build tear fence down and people buying it or not that fence down. >> Okay. So, so no, this has no effect. This just bans front yard fences in general. You would not um you would have
to need a variance either way because you have two front yards. Your issue with the corner lot is you have two front yard areas. >> She has a fence right now. >> I have a fence now. But you're saying >> to give yourself some peace of mind, you can go to the zoning officer that the
is all assuming that your current fence is has a variance and is approved for two front yard. So assuming your fence is currently valid and has a variant, then you can go to the zoning officer and it's in within one year of the adoption of this ordinance, they'll give you a certificate amount from your
structure saying that this fence existed before it was banned by any ordinance, >> but I didn't need to get a variance because it was permitted. >> Yeah, it's permitted. >> So So I I don't >> Okay, so you can go to the zoning officer and show them your survey or whatever you have or a picture of your property and they can give you a certificate of non-conforming structure
if this ordinance affects that. It would be grandfather. >> But so you're saying I do need to get a bearance. >> No. >> So I don't need to do anything. >> You don't Well, >> but will the buyer if I sell my house? >> So hypothetically, you need not do
anything. Okay. Because you have a permitted fence that was on the property permitted before any ordinance is passed. However, if you were adversely affected by the adoption of this ordinance, you can go to the zoning officer. Zoning officer will give you a certificate of non-conforming structure. It means it's basically the zoning
officer saying, "I acknowledge that you had this fence before the ordinance was passed and therefore it's grandfathered." And they just give it to you. It's not not a crazy application or anything like that. It's in the municipal land. You saw if you wait more than a year and only the board can give it to you. >> But I'm But you're saying if I am
adversely affected, I'm I'm trying to understand. >> I don't have your survey. I'm not your lawyer. I have no idea. Never been to your property. >> So you understand home and tomorrow will be here. You're totally different. >> Hey, you're good now. You're good. realize your house is perfectly
I think all I think all is saying is that I have a conforming property right now. I saw my I saw my house >> based on this ordinance is that for me to be able to get a certificate or the buyer get a certificate of occupancy. Do they have to bring the fence into
conformance and take the fence down in order to get and the answer is no. >> That's not the way zoning works. >> But will I have to get a variance? No, you never need a variance if you had something that was permitted before an ordinance was passed. The question is how do you prove to the person who's
buying your house that I have the the permit like say it was permitted. So you didn't have did you have to get a variance with this fence? Yeah. >> Right. So you have no paper that says this fence is okay. I'm telling you that whenever the the govern zoning body adopts an ordinance that might make something on your property non-conforming, the zoning officer will
just give you a piece of paper that you can stick in your file for when you go to sell your house that the zoning officer recognizes that my fence was permitted before the ordinance and after. If you had a variance, it's easy because you just show the variance and the variance has the date on it and no word that that matters. But in your specific situation where it was
permitted and I was being because I don't I have no sorry to catch off to what your issue is. Um because you have no piece of paper. I understand your concern. We can give you that piece of paper. It doesn't cost anything and it's part of municipal landoft. So long as you we looks like
we're going to do it tomorrow. >> But I'm speaking for many many people in town. So >> you should tell anyone who has it that they can do this. >> That's not my job. >> You have it. >> Well, but at the same time, this ordinance will be published in multiple newspapers. It's been noticed here
tonight. There's two public hearings. And so the public for all intents and purposes >> you're basically saying you have a year to get this piece of paper. >> But the zoning you can get that piece of paper anytime you can prove that. But the zoning the easy one where you don't have to go before the board is within one year of the adoption of the ordinance. The zoning officer can just
give it to you. But if you wait after that time >> then you have to go >> then you have to go before the board for a certificate of nonconformity. >> Greg I have a question. Once you Ariana got her fence she got a permit to get the fence. The permit served as proof that it was
pre-existing. And >> if she had to submit a survey, that would probably work. Yeah. >> Do you keep those on record? >> What year did you get your fence? >> It's has it been that long? I mean, I think everything's computerized these days, right? >> I ask.
>> You're totally clear. >> Okay. I'm not worried. I'm just It is a change that >> I think it's a big impact and I think it's I disagree with it. um as you all know but um but I just want to see what the impacts are
>> there should be no impact on you >> all right thank you I didn't want to take any time >> we just had a discussion about an ordinance about >> planting strips and concrete and curb and whatever and I heard we're getting
rid of grandfathering we're getting rid of grandfathering I just heard the word grandfathering used about five times in this discussion just now and the solution for Buco seems completely different than the solution that was just suggested for people with this concrete path across the Atlantic strip and a curve kite. So, and then I
suggested, well, your survey should show it. And you said that's not a workable thing. And then he just said, hey, just get take out your survey show. >> I just I'm really confused. And Greg, if you're getting any of this is different than >> I am, but it's very I have to tell you, it's very difficult to solve everyone's zoning issues at a meeting. Zoning is
extremely particularized to a property. So without >> but I was trying to have broad categories of we just changed this law and the process we we said we want to get rid of grandfathering. We introduced it sorry we didn't pass it and you know this seems completely
different. I'm not really clear on understanding >> because because the planning strip is in the right of way and Mr. Aria is talking about her property which is only subject to zoning and not our other expansive jurisdiction. Yes. And the change is that you're required everyone to put the planning strip basically back to grass
everywhere in town. And that's pretty much the decision that is very different than what was previously allowed under the last ordinance. Your point is well taken if ever. >> But that's the Virginia distinction to talk about the rightway versus um forgive me. I never answer your answer property.
>> Uh is it accurate to say like zoning doesn't affect things in the right right of way? Like our zoning is >> Yeah. Because your prop with somebody's bias >> uh in a in the right of way. Yeah. I mean subject to municipal jurisdiction and not land use. >> That's a great distinction. Thank you.
>> Just crazy with the grandfather. >> Any other public? >> Uh Thomas J. Go third Avenue. Um there's a very good point made by counciloman. I mean, if people got permits for then $45,
um, they would have that permit that showed you your fence was legal. So, no one's going to make you take the fence down unless you didn't get the permit. Hey, that's really what it comes down to. I mean, fence companies are they just shoot in here like cowboys, put
fence up. That's the problem. Um I want to compliment the council and um the land use board did approve it to your point. Uh mayor is that you know fences are supposed to make good neighbors but some fences don't. The ordinance previous ordinance was blank on what
type of fences. Not every fence is a Hollywood white picket fence. Could have a blackboard and batten fence. You could have a galvanized chain link fence. If you think about the vista from uh west to east, if people put galvanized chain link fence up, that
would break your whole line of view. Um, so this is really protecting something. And to Councilman Nikki's point, it came up at a land use board meeting. People didn't really understand we could have the fence. Avon has the same ordinance. Spring Lake has the same ordinance.
Otherwise, our ordinance is very liberal when it comes to sideyards and rear yards where you can have six feet. So, I think this ordinance is very good. And I did walk by Miss Book's property and it really almost appears that she would I mean, again, I didn't go on the property just from there's an elevation
differential to where where it is. So, code may require a railing there anyway. So, it's a it's a little bit of a different situation as opposed to just having a fence right on the front property line. It is substantially set back, but um there really should be no
issue with it. But um thanks very much for passing this ordinance and think thinking forward on it. >> Thank you. Other comments or questions? Yes. >> Hello. Um, my name is Henry Machos from 2093rd
and um, I just wanted to just make a not just to talk about not just the litigation that was happening here that was set up, but I guess I don't know seems like an ongoing issue with many litigations and
set up and I just want to make a couple comments. Okay, we're we're talking about the beds right now. >> Oh, it's only about later on. Sorry. >> Good to see you, Henry. >> I was intrigued.
>> I know. I don't have any point here. >> Comments or questions in the room? >> Any comments or questions on Zoom? Okay, seeing none, I will make a motion to close public comment and return to
the uh agenda. Second, >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenl, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. Okay. I'll make a motion that we uh approve the adoption of ordinance

year 2026. >> Second. >> Any comments? >> Well, I should have asked I think we're good. >> I I I have a comment. Um we go through this process every year. Uh, I would like to suggest that we just have people do this electronically and not have to
come here and physically drop off like put up in the paper this big. >> But I want to defer to our clerk to say, is there a compelling reason that people should have to come and drop off paper? >> QPA is going to be doing it and it's electronic this year. >> Yeah. >> Oh, QPA is taking the whole thing.
>> I can't promise you it's going to stay that way, but that's how we're doing. >> Oh, QPA is going to fill out the forms, too. the uh comparison sheets. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Our money is worth on that keep. >> Thank you. Thank you very much. You're welcome. >> Any other comments or questions?

132, the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Comments or questions? I'll just comment on this. This is the um we had a um grant from on New Jersey DOT to resurface
uh Fifth Avenue from um Ocean Avenue to Madison. And because the sewer project replacement isn't ready yet in time, uh that's we actually submitted that to D to qualify underneath our um loan forgiveness program for the sewers. um
we're not going to be able to get that construction of the sewers done in time and so we're delaying the paving until the spring so we can get the sewer put in before we pave. We don't want to pave and then come back and cut it up and put the sewer in. So we're asking them to
extend of this grant uh to the springtime so we don't have to try to pave in the winter months and this is a DOT should not be an issue so they should be accepted to us. Any other comments, questions?
I'll make a motion to approve 2025-310. >> Second. >> Very good. >> Mr. Noble? >> Yes. >> M. Greenblat? Yes. >> Mr. Nikki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubizozi? >> Yes. 2025-311. Authorizing a competitive contracting
process for the herring of a vendor for credit card payment processing. Comments or questions? So, don't didn't we typically do a competitive process just an annual uh Matt, should I turn this over to you?
>> Sure. Uh, we've never taken credit card. >> Oh, so this is for like construction >> to start to move the burrow to become a both at the beachfront and also here at Bur Hall, >> right? >> Moving us into the 20th century. And I
said 20th >> and no included just credit cards. One step at a time, guys. Okay. So, 20th century, I tell you the 20th. >> So, is there a variation with credit card fees or do is that a pretty standard amount?
>> Uh, it's a standard amount. I think it's 3.5%. You're right. Some charge a little more. >> So, when we go through that process, does that get included? >> It's included with the vendor. >> Yeah. I was going to say isn't the vendor. Isn't that why we're shopping for a vendor then? >> Oh, sorry. So whether you use American
Express or Visa, Discover, Diners Club, well vendor is what charges us do you charge the customer then that >> and if someone wants to submit a check, they don't pay have to pay a fee. Correct. >> Correct. >> Okay. because I know there's still an
issue with um the electronic payment for the beachfront um and for uh what is the company that we use for >> the community pass um it still sort of includes a fee associated with
submitting a check and every year I challenge that as as a resident >> well community best is different that that's a vendor that would be higher in this case um it would be um the vendor that's new.
>> I don't know who passes use uses to to process their checks. I don't know why they they charge an additional fee. My guess is that's just the the service that they charge us. >> So Matt, there's no fee to the bur. It's only a pass through fee when they do a transaction.
>> Correct. Much like if you go to a restaurant, use a credit card, typically going to charge you 3.5%. Any other comments or questions? >> I'll also tell you we had a very good summer and there were some weekends when
we were bringing 70,000 plus dollars literally in singles, fives and quarters from the beachfront to Burough Hall. It got counted to the beachfront, brought to Burough Hall, got counted here, given to the police. The police had to go to
the bank, deposit it, got counted there. And it just takes a lot of manpower. Um, this will simplify all that and it also makes any chief operating officer, any CFO much happier when there's less cash moving around. Now, I know you just
described that as a liability, but that's actually the good news. If $7,000 came back here, went back to the bank. It's good news. Okay, that's good. Okay, any other comments or questions? I'll make a motion that we approve
2025-311 authorizing the competitive contracting process for credit card. >> Second, >> Mr. Noble? Yes. >> Miss Greenwood? Yes. >> Mr. Nikki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. >> Mayor Guposi. >> Yes. Okay. This next item, uh,
individual resolution 2025-312. There is an opportunity, but we don't know how real the opportunity is. um that there's an entity who believes they can bring us grant funding. We would pay we the burough would pay nothing to
enhance the living shoreline at Southern Lake. >> However, there's also wording in there that talks about uh what is it? What >> salt salt water >> salt water salt marsh. And so we're not we we didn't have time to get back to
that person um suggesting that they could secure the grant funding for us uh to find out whether or not this came up on Friday and we tried to reach them over the last couple days. Um so we don't know if this person will be able to secure the grant funding for us. They
can secure grant funding. We just don't know if the marsh category fits Silven Lake. So what um we're asking us to do here is to approve having this vendor, you know, work with us to figure out whether or not they can secure grant
funding for for what uh for the living shoreline at Silent Lake. >> Weren't we already advised by uh one of our engineers that we actually don't qualify? >> I was advised by Mr. Noiki and by uh I also reached out to Captain Alma. They both thought we did not
>> Well, actually, we did. I went back and double checked and there was actually a meeting with Suburban with D and it was the same grant because I was on that call. Okay. And it does not it does not apply. We they actually came back the EP
came back and confirmed that because we this is blue energy you need to have a salt marsh. We argued that at one time so was a salt mar. showed them if you walked through it all and they said, "Yeah, but it's not no it's no longer um
connected to the ocean because the the pipe does not backflow um into the lake from the from the tide. So, it does not qualify and even the type of vegetation is not a salt marsh vegetation. It's fresh water and therefore they said no
and confirmed and and suburban engineer back and verified that it does not apply. So we can >> So that makes the motion clearer, >> right? >> And so we I will make a motion that we withdraw uh individual resolution 2025-
312. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Miss Greenblat, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Guboszi, >> yes. >> 2025 313 approval of sewer overpayment
refund for 117 Parkplace Avenue in the amount of $1,553.50. 50 cents. Comments or questions? >> Second. >> Make a motion that we approve it. >> Second. Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenle. >> Yes.
>> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes. >> Mayor Dosi. >> Yes. >> 2025-314 approval of another sewer overpayment refund for 803 Ocean Avenue number 7 in the amount of 11950. I'll make a motion. We approve.
>> Second. >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat. >> Yes. Mr. Noiki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubosi. >> Yes. So these mayor, these periodically cop up on the agenda. Why is it that we get these overp payments? >> Well, if you read the the one for the
one before they have two family home, they turned it into a one family home and they never >> they never change. Okay. So this two, it's not a problem with the system of our our payments. >> Oh, no. Just just have a lot more. Um, and this the next one is that they they
pay ahead for the quarter. You're paying sort of in advance and if your home sells in the middle of that quarter, you're kind of owed a refund, >> but but that usually comes back from the buyer. So, uh, but state >> we give them a refund and collect it
from the new buyer. I guess too late. We've already approved it. >> Yeah. 2025-315 authorizing the award of proposal for professional engineering services with CME Associates for the recreation center improvements project
comments questions. >> I don't I think we need to have a workshop almost. I think Matt's got some really good pictures. >> Is Is this for the $100,000 that we've been awarded for recreation? >> No, this is for the existing project. We just have to up pay it into the grants
we have. >> Okay. Let me get that. I believe >> um not the good. >> Any other comments or questions? Okay. I'll make a motion we approve 2025-315. >> Second. Mr. Noble. >> Yes.
>> Mblat. Yes. >> Mr. Noiki. >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubenosi. >> Yes. >> 2025-316. Authorizing CE associates to perform additional general engineering services for an amount not to exceed $20,000.
Comments or questions? >> I had asked the question um if we will we get an accounting of how this money is spent under 20,000. We will, right? >> Yeah. Good. Yes. This is just so that we can continue to have them do work for
us, you know, and uh if we don't authorize it, we have to get specific invoices from them to authorize it. So, this is giving them the latitude to move forward and we'll authorize on the back end. We'll review it on the back end.
Any other comments, questions? Make a motion. I make a motion that we uh approve 2025-316. >> Second, Mr. Mr. Noble, >> yes. >> Mrs. Greenblat, yes. >> Mr. Noiki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Kubosi, >> yes.
>> 2025317, authorizing award of a contract for professional engineering services with Suburban Consulting Engineers, Inc. SCE, for the burough sanitary sewer infrastructure replacement program. Councilman Noiki, I think this does warrants a greater explanation.
>> Okay. So, we've talked about this, you know, in previous meetings, but what this um so we had received a $2 million grant from New Jersey to finish the design and replacement of the rest of the sewer system for the rest of the
burrow. Currently, um we've replaced up to Fourth Avenue, Fifth Avenue is under construction today, but we have to finish the whole north end of town as well as Main Street and the rest of Ocean Avenue. And so we estimated that
that was approximately could fit within a $2 million grant. D awarded that grant to us for $2 million to complete the design. So this is authorizing the um suburban who applied for the grant for
us to about $1.8 million worth of work to finish the remaining portion of design. What we're also doing is that CME had worked on a piece of Fifth Avenue and if you recall several uh meetings ago we had authorized CME to do
the Ocean Park design um from Ocean Avenue to Madison about you know three blocks because of all the emergency repair we were doing out there and it was failing. We had to keep cleaning it out and whatnot. We're taking those costs that that that um CME did and
we're also applying that to the grants and we will get reimbursed for those costs from the grant. So we'll max out the $2 million grant to pay for all the design stuff that CME had just recently done for Fifth Avenue from Ocean to
Madison that they're working on as well as uh Ocean Park from Ocean Avenue to Madison. So we'll get reimbursed. Um, so that will no longer come out of the sewer fund. We will get D to pay for that design as well as $1.85 million to
complete the design of the entire rest of the system. In addition to that, we were granted, we qualified and were granted a um um to the Water Infrastructure Bank for the construction. Um we can actually um secure
uh funding loans for um up to $20 million to finish the design the construction of all of the rest of the sewers within that um of that the financing rate on that is at 0% interest for 75%
of the construction cost. Okay. And then and then it's like three and a half% bigger bond rates for 25% of the construction minimizing the burden to the residents of of Bradley and and their sewer costs. In addition to that
lower cost, we also have qualified because of our average income. We up through July 1 of this year, we qualified for this program. So looking back over the last decade, we had qualified for this, but it never was was used. We are entitled to $2 million per
year of principal loan forgiveness for construction and the D has agreed to give us $2 million um of of principal forgiveness for our first project which will be the completion of Fifth Avenue and Ocean Park that CN is currently doing. So when
you think about each avenue, it's about $2 million just for sewable for each each avenue. And so we are now getting two million to pay for those completions. and we qualify first come first serve. So we have to keep going for the next two fiscal years of $2
million of loan forgiveness, principal forgiveness from the water infrastructure bank. Um so and and I want to thank Councilwoman, you know, Greenblat. She um really identified this back when she went to the League of Municipalities last year before I came
on site and then they brought you think about this stuff and I was like let's let's get let's get into it. And so, you know, it's been a real team effort, but we've actually secured some fantastic funding to complete the the the u the design and and continue the construction
of the sewer system. Um we are also to in order to you know something that was being done and is still being done and will continue to be done with this is to continue to get money from do the department of transportation so as the sewers are
replaced that we use grant money to do the paving so that we don't use the borrowing use grant money for the pavement work again minimizing the cost of this entire infrastructure for the sewer replacement. Um and I'll just comment the the other piece of this whole equation and we have gentlemen
here that are working on this. We are doing a study um to you know validate you know what is our best path forward whether we continue to um own this system and continue to do it ourselves or do we sell that system. And so from a
from a fiscal responsibility standpoint with all that that's happening, we really need to be able to look at all this. What what is the most economical way forward so that we can make sure that we are doing the right things for the you know residents and and getting
the best buy for the dollar whether we continue to own the system or privatize it. Um considering the funding of these grants that we're able to get put all that together in a financial model and that's that work is currently being done. So, we're trying to do put all the
pieces of the puzzle together, make sure we're making the right decisions, but in the meantime, we are moving forward with this grant money and continuing to fix the lines that are failing today. So, that's my my sewer speech. >> That was a very uh powerful sewer speech. Um,
speaking as a person who's been on the council for 5 years and and came in just after we started phase one of the sewers, to the best of my knowledge, the bureau has never received grant funding to do the actual construction work. We have uh many times received um
department of transportation funding to do the paving subsequently, but the work that uh the council well Greenblad and Councilman Nikki have done to secure grant funding as you just heard from Councilman Nikki um that should um
approach $6 million of 100% grant funding, no matches, uh is u is an astronomical success in my opinion. up. Um, anyone who's concerned about, you know, taxpayer taxes going up, uh, from
a sewer standpoint, we've got great news that so far, uh, sewers, u, we're getting an awful lot done at no cost to the to the taxpayers. So, thank you both. >> Thank you. That said, I'll make a motion
that we approve 2025-317 authorizing the uh award of a contract for uh Suburban Consulting. >> Second, >> Mr. Noble, >> yes. Miss Greenblat, >> yes. >> Mr. Nikki, >> yes. >> Mr. Weber, >> yes. >> Mayor Guposi,
>> yes. Okay. Item 2025-318 is the bill list for October 7th, 2025. Any comments or questions about the bill list? You answer my questions. Thank you. And that's it. I can
>> No. Okay. I will make a motion we approve 2025-318 the October 7 bill. >> Second. >> Mr. Noble? >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat? Yes. >> Mr. Noiki? >> Yes. >> Mr. Weber? >> Yes. >> Mayor Gubetzi? >> Yes. Uh we have a final uh individual
resolution. This normally would have appeared on the bill list. They missed the billish deadline. So, we've set up a a separate independent resolution authorizing the payment of the 2025 annual budget to the Bradley Beach State Department in the
amount of $55,000. >> Comments or questions? >> I would like to make a comment. I like that this is separate because uh you know, when you think about for yourself, what's the most valuable thing you have? It's your time, you know, and yeah, we're paying for this stuff. We're paying for the band-aids and the stretcher if you need one of those or
whatever. But the folks at the first aid, they're first aid department, they're giving their time and that is super valuable. So, the least we can do is pay for all this stuff. Pay for all the band-aids. >> You're here. >> That's it. Very good. There's no other comments or questions. I'll make a
motion that we approve 2025-319 authorizing the 2025 annual budget payment to the first department. Second, >> Mr. Noble. >> Yes. >> Miss Greenblat. Yes, >> Mr. Nikki. >> Yes, >> Mr. Weber. >> Yes, >> Mayor Gubetza. >> Yes.
>> Item 13 on the agenda, announcements. There are none. Item 14A, the administrative report. Mr. Dhy. >> Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, I'd like to update the uh um council on some of the construction projects uh that are
ongoing in town. Uh first one on Fifth Avenue. Uh the sanitary sewer main is completed from Madison Avenue to Hammond Avenue. The contractor is planning on completing the sewer main from Hammond to Main Street by the end of this week.
After completion of the sewer main, the contractor is anticipating approximately two weeks to complete all the sewer service laterals to individual homes. The sewer should be completed in three to four weeks followed by concrete work,
sidewalks, and paving. contractor CME, our police department, uh, and elementary school have been communicating regarding traffic control near the elementary school and residents on the 600 block of Fifth Avenue have
been able to access their homes via assistance from the police uh, traffic safety. So, thank you for our PD. Uh, next project we have is the rec center. Uh the contractor has completed all drainage improvements and prepared the playground area for installation of the
playground by the separate state contractor. The playground installation is anticipated to begin this week. The contractor has removed all fence fabric and milled both the tennis and basketball courts. Uh court paving will
be completed following playground installation. The project project completion is expected to be in November. Uh next one is the Silven Lake flume replacement. The wooden box flume replacement has begun on the beach and
the contractor is removing and stockpiling jetty rocks for future use, some of which weigh several tons. Uh finally, the concession building on the prominade. The construction project will be advertised for bid at the end of
this week and work is anticipated to begin this winter and will continue into the spring. Uh any questions from the council on those four projects? None. Uh lastly, uh as the mayor council
know, we uh had a pretty successful bid selling lots at the the old church. Uh I want to give an update and and also report to the public what our total differences between what was generated and the expenses over the last few
years. So the total revenue generated at the auction was $4,875,000. The total expenses including the purchase of the property of 1.3 million. The total expenses are 2,13,92562. So the difference the the profit as you
would say is 2,771,74.38. Great. That's my report back. Good chance. >> Mr. Dory, for the record, residents on a couple of residents have asked if if these costs include um the the debt
service, you know, the interest we paid on monies we borrow. The answer is no. I have not attempted to figure that out. It's it's probably under $100,000. But um but that just for clarity in case anyone in the room is wondering the same. So 2.7 million, maybe 2.6 six
million. It's It's still a pretty reasonable rate of return on a $2.1 million investment. >> Uh yes, sir. And also, when you look at the expenses that we did include, I mean, we put everything in here from again the purchase of the property, uh
the engineering services, uh Mammoth County Clerk filing for $8. Um so, we tried to get any and every expense in here. Um, you know, could we try to figure out what the interest was on the debt? At some point, we can. Um,
but overall, we I think the staff did a very good job putting together all the expenses. >> Did you include the repair of Mr. Councilman Weber's gutter? >> It's in there. >> It is in here. Uh, yes, it was repaired at no cost.
>> Very good. Thank you, sir. >> Can I just ask a question? Um, so when do the properties close? uh November November 17th. >> November 17. >> No, I should say no later than November 17th. >> Okay. >> So, at this point, the major subdivision has been finalized. Plat's been filed.
Um I have signed contracts with all four of the winning biders together with their additional deposits which were due uh a week ago on September 30th. All four have returned that. Um, a couple of them already have attorneys
and um, we're asking for documents for to basically apply for financing and for title insurance. Um, but the outside date for the closings is November 17th and every single winning bidder has followed every step of the process up to that. Yep.
>> Well done. >> Thank you, sir. All right, we'll move to item PIP. I'm sorry, item 14B on the agenda. Mayor and council reports. I'll start with council president Denob. >> Yay. Okay. So, um with the board of ed,
they had a meeting in September and um they reported that they had an excellent school opening in September and special recognition goes out to Mr. Tanzola who managed a number of vendors this summer to have the renovations in the hallway near the nurse's office and PT room as
well as the new floor of the cafeteria. So the school looks wonderful and our teachers went above and beyond setting up their classrooms during the summer to create a welcoming environment for our students and they also would like to thank Phil and the custodial staff and
uh the preschool kind kindergarten orientations were a great success. PreK also launched its dual language program this year which has been met with a lot of enthusiasm and they also celebrated Hispanic heritage month and it was a
fantastic kickoff celebration hosted by the PTA. The Bradley Beach tourism had their meeting today and um they're almost done with their summer survey. Lots of kudos going their way. the fall series, the concert series is underway
and um people are really enjoying it and it brings a lot of life to the middle of the town and people are bringing takeout and also the World Cup is next year and uh they're looking to do a watch party on June 13th for the first USA match and
uh they're looking to hopefully have a block party maybe in the park. They're making plans. They're also hashing out some ideas for that as well as their jazzfest is going to be again this February 2026. The Bradley Beach Shade Tree Commission had a meeting October
1st and they had four applications. One at 205 Lake Terrace. They're going to remove one tree and the um on their private property and they're going to replace it with three trees. 211 Park Place will be removing two trees and that is their planting strip and they'll
be replacing it with three trees. and 1153rd Avenue is removing one dead tree. And also 3004th would want wants to remove a tree, but it is still it's in the planning strip, but it seems like it's okay. They're going to have Bill
Brash um analyze that tree. The grant program that they recently had was for $40,000, and they were hoping to plant in the fall. Unfortunately, a lot of their their their selections do better when they're planted in the spring. So, the
state has advised us that we'll do the planting in the spring. We can look forward to 75 new trees coming our way to Bradley Beach. And um they're also going to be planting some tulips in the Pollinator Point Garden, which is on Second Avenue. And their account is
$16,500. That completes my report. >> Thank you, Councilman Nikki. >> Thank you, Mayor. versus police activity. Um on um September 19th, a 34 year old Wall Township man was arrested and charged with burglary, theft, and
criminal attorney to commit burglary as a result of an investigation by detective Christopher Wilson. On September 9th, the male subject entered a parked unlocking motor vehicle and removed a cell phone belonging to the owner. Sergeant William Major and patrolman Daniel Crow assisted with the
investigation. September 26, 2025. >> A 30-year-old male subject was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm. Certain persons not to possess a weapon, resisting arrest, hindering apprehension, and obstructing the
administration law. The subject was stopped for motor vehicle violation while he was operating an electric scooter at patrolman Daniel Crowe. Once stopped, the subject fled from officers on the electric scooter and on foot. He was apprehended a short time later after
he was placed in custody. Officers found that he was in possession of a firearm and live rounds which he discarded while he was fleeing from the officers. Patrolman Daniel Crow, Patrolman Andrew Redmond, and patrolman Ian Ambrose handled the arrest. Officers also
investigated eight motor vehicles uh accidents and responded to several calls for service. On another note, the Bradley Beach Police Department will be participating in the Operation Takeback, which is sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Aid
Administration. We will be collecting any unused prescriptions and non-prescription medications on Saturday, October 25th between the hours of 10 and 2 at the police department. Please remove any personal information from the prescription bottles and we
will not be taking any syringes or any type of needles. On the first aid front, for the operational period ending October 7th, the squad responded to 18 day calls, seven night calls for a total of 25 calls, 21 for medical, four for fire
calls, one motor vehicle accident. The squad provided medical overwatch for the kaleidoscope of hope walk and the walk to end Alzheimer's. The squad conducted one drill for the safety and education of the membership. The squad requested no mutual aid for the operational
period. Total calls for the month of September 54 and events were two. The squad fulfilled 100% of their assignments for this operational period. We are still looking for volunteers for the first aid squad. We will offer free training for qualified individuals and
anybody looking to um volunteer. Applications can be found on the burl's website. Fire department In a month ending September 30th, the fire department responded to 11 day calls, six night calls for a total of 17
calls. One was a working fire, 11 were fire alarm activations, two were mutual aid assists uh into Asbury Park. Two were natural gas leaks and one smoke condition. The department conducted trainings on ladder operations and
vehicle transmit. The the department also participated in a standby for fireworks in Avon. There were no requests for mutual aid from other other fire departments. Department fulfilled 100% of our assignments for this operational period. I'm happy to report that the department inducted one
new firefighter to our ranks and they too are also looking for volunteers. So you can get the information off the website. And then one more thing just want to um share um is that um this week is the uh fire awareness week. Annual um
an annual fire safety day uh is on you know October 9th and um the elementary school will be hosting their annual fire safety in partnership with the Bradley Beach Fire Department. Uh the the event is an important part of our fire prevention week, giving our students a
chance to learn about fire safety in a hands-on and engaging way. Um activities include a gear station exploring the protective equipment that the firefighters wear, a water can station learning how fire extinguishers
and water cans can be used, and also a firetruck display touring the firetruck and learning about its equipment. The eighth graders will be also taking part in a special cadet program led by the fire department. So again, we encourage everybody to
continue to talk and discuss about fire safety. It's really critical. So, you know, take take safety moments with your family and just make sure everybody's aware of fire safety in your homes. Um, my last thing to report is Silven Lake and uh their um monthly meeting will be
next Wednesday uh 7 o'clock here in this room. Um, all are invited. So, please come and attend to get any updates that you'd be interested in on Silver Lake. >> Thank you, Councilman. Uh, Councilwoman Greenblad. >> Thanks. Um, the Arts Council met Monday,

Please join this collaborative multi community event with Ocean Grove. The next commission meeting will be on October 9th at 6 p.m. in this
council chamber. And that's my report. >> Thank you, Councilwoman. Councilman Weber, >> please. >> All right. Uh, this was part of the consent agenda, so I feel like we we missed saying these people's names, but congratulations to the probationary firefighter Ashley Navarin. And then
also to the special officers, the police officers, the special officers, Brendan Caendish, Andrew Lewis, Ryan McGee, Anthony Rogerio. We probably should think about that before we consent agenda then and then they don't get their names. Um, so congratulations to
them. Congratulations to Heather Sauer, who's no longer in the room, but um doing a great job uh making this school sustainable. Um let's see, a couple beach related things. The we know that the Silven Lake Flume stuff is happening, but it was waited a long time
for this, a very long time. It was very nice on Saturday to see the big construction like they're doing it. They're doing it on Saturday. I was like very happy about that. Also, I noticed the staging area. They're putting all this equipment um on the beach kind of in that spot. There's like dunes on
three sides just a little bit south of Evergreen. But the very first thing they did was fill the gap in the dunes between the o you know ocean because you know probably each one of those pieces of equipment is a few hundred,000 if not a half a million and you know you got a
couple of them in there and what do you want to do? You want to protect it so you build in the gaps in the dunes. I just see it. >> This is like a great idea. I would love to leave it. I think that would be a great idea, but we can talk about that. Uh maybe they give us a discount if they don't have to undo all that sand piling
up that they that they did. Um let's see other the environmental commission did not meet. We had scheduling conflict. We may try and make that happen uh next weekend. Next weekend, next week, next Monday. Um but speaking of environmental stuff, the beach sweeps are on October
10th. You know the drill. go to the pavilion at 5th ad and from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon we'll be picking up stuff off the beach. Um Ocean Action has you catalog it so you just mark down and because we are going to have skip this
stuff soon we're going to take note of how many plastic utensils and other things like that that we're picking up off our beach. Um so please participate in that. Um, you have heard me say recently that our ordinance has you put your lid on your
trash can and your recycling can. That's our ordinance. So, there are two good reasons that you should do that. One is about a week from now, it's going to get really windy. There's going to be a massive wind event. So, don't put your can out without a lid. But the other
reason you should do it is because our code enforcement officer took it upon himself to go out before trash collection at five o'clock in the morning and look for people that don't have the lids and just let them know that this is, you know, we like you to have your lid on. Helps us keep town
clean and that's what we want. So, couple other things. Glad you mentioned the drug takeback. That's on my list because that's environmental, but it's a police thing. So, thank you. And uh the town always gets sustainable jersey points for you know the fact that we do the drug kickback thing. Um they
shouldn't be dumped out in the toilet for water. So bring them to the police station. And something that happened well about almost a month ago at this point. It's kind of under the radar for good reason. Uh we had the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. They have a
mobile unit so you can don't have to go to the NDC to get your real ID or to get your license renewed or whatever. that came here and we had 60 people from town, roughly 60 people get a real ID or whatever
services they need from from NBC. I will tell you kind of kept it under the radar because like well if you you advertise like you can either fill all the spots yourself with people in town or else you have to open it up to the public and anybody can come from anywhere. So we felt really confident we could have 60
people from town and uh we did that. I think Mr. administrator. We did so great. They They're coming back. They're coming back. Okay. So, we are going to do this again. Um it's just a great service for the town. I had to go and get a real ID and I went to the mobile unit in Tom's River cuz I needed it like
rather quickly. I was getting on a plane and um like how do I bring this thing to town? So, we made it happen. Matt was very instrumental and uh it was a good thing. So, coming again in November, maybe >> we have a date. Okay. >> 17. >> All right. Um,
let's see. I think that's it. Uh, yeah, I hit all my uh my major points. Thank you, Mr. May. >> Thank you, Councilman. And in case anyone didn't hear, it is November 17th. Craig, Matt, that's the next date for the mobile unit. And every other month
or so, they're willing to come back as long as we have people interested. So hopefully we'll continue to do this as the new >> and you can also aside from real ID you can bring back your license plates duplicate registrations um anything you would do in a regular motor vehicle
commission you don't need an appointment for that uh but what councilman Weber was pointing out which is the real value is getting a real ID and there are limited spaces so it was a part of my report but says Councilman Weber brought up anyone interested in getting a real
ID should call Burrow Paul make reserve a time slot. I think total there's 60 time slots give or take. >> Yep. >> So, okay. Uh for my report, uh first and foremost, near and dear to my heart is the mayor's office. I will be uh
permanently leaving that little room over there. Uh my last day will be Wednesday. Thursday, I'll be sitting up front with everybody else. Um as that area will be annexed to the court. Uh because as I think I've mentioned in
past meetings, uh we are we are taking on Neptune City's court. Uh they will pay Bradley Beach $80,000 to take on their court. Um and other than maybe $1,000 of expenses, we're going to knock a hole in the far wall of the mayor's
office to connect it into the court, but a hole only. So we're not doing any massive construction. That should take place uh soon, not over the weekend. We will not pay we do not need to pay overtime. So, it should be a very
cost-effective transition. Uh I am a member of the library board and the library board, the library has just a slew of activities every month. Uh, I'm not going to read the whole list, but understand that they have programs for little kids, Lego type
programs, board game type programs for teenagers focused on career building. Uh, for adults, um, uh, for, uh, one coming up this this month in October is for entrepreneurs, adults who want to start businesses. Um,
go to the Bradleybe Library website. It's actually bradleybe library.org org and you'll be amazed at the amount of activities occurring every month but most currently in the month of October. Um we've got some activity going on with
the county uh director Art Tom Arnon and the uh and the uh county engineer uh Joe Atour is meeting with us and and not only myself but Mayor McGrevy from Neptune City to discuss two things. One
is the intersection at 4th Avenue and Memorial Drive. A massive uh traffic concern, safety concern. Um, as you're probably aware, the county is looking at um a a three-year plan that they should be able to take action as a result of
their study uh in uh 2028 uh to do some traffic calming on Memorial Drive. We don't want to wait till 2028 because we've had a handful of really bad accidents there and uh and again the engineer and director are known are willing to meet with us. So
going to meet with them on October 23rd to and with our uh police chief and Neptune city's police chief to go through what we might be able to do to improve traffic safety at that very dangerous intersection. We're also going to set set up a time on a different
date, but in the near future to evaluate a water watershed study being done by the county, but looking primarily at Neptune, uh Neptune's watershed, which runs off into Silvin Lake. We want to have a seat at that table. Uh Councilman
Noiki and I should be able to we've been told we will be invited to their next meeting. Um but uh it's very important we we be a part of that because they're kind of narrowing their focus at the moment to fixing their wershed to make sure it flows properly without much
focus yet on what it flows into which is Bradley Beach. So uh we will be joining that discussion as we go forward. A couple things um well one business administrator mentioned this but I think it bears repeating. On October 10th, we
should be able to release uh bid requests for the sewer pump station next to the playground, you know, on uh on Ocean. Um the plan is to convert that into um restrooms and a small concession area and uh we hope to have bidding com
uh you know uh bids prepared beginning October 10th. Hopefully by the end of October we'll have bits in place and we can award that work and folks can hopefully a contractor can get started before the end of the year. The goal of course will be to have the bathrooms up
and running um uh by Memorial Day of next year. We uh one other thing I want to make sure people put on their calendar is Mayor's Wellness Walk. It's actually October 26. So we will have one more council meeting. I just give you a little advanced warning. October 26th at
9:00 a.m. Brenley Avenue. Mayor's Wellness Walk, Healthy Dog, Healthy You, and uh our own resident veterinarian, Dr. Kathleen Heeny, will lead that that uh discussion. So, that'll be fun. I'll
probably mention that again in two weeks, but just put it on your calendar October 26. That concludes my report. And now we can move to public comments and questions. Any comments or questions? Yes, Nancy.
at the gazebo. Yeah, the gazebo. Yeah. >> Hi, I'm Bob Mallister 125th Avenue. >> Okay, Bob. >> Uh, I just wanted to share some comments with respect to the burough's fair share
housing plan. Uh, on behalf of myself, my wife, uh, Jeff Curtis is here as well and his wife supports these views. I'll go as quickly as I can. I know the hour is late. Bradley Beach is a great place to live
if you can afford it. Unfortunately, unprecedented increases in property values in Bradley Beach and other shore towns mean that it has never been more difficult for moderate and lowincome families whose annual incomes are less
than $105,000 to find decent affordable housing. This income level would include our teachers and police officers who cannot live in our town. The good news is that New Jersey state law requires that each
municipality adopt a fair share plan which details the affirmative measures it will undertake to achieve its fair share of low and moderate income housing. We're pleased that Bradley Beach for the first time has adopted a fair share
housing plan. However, we believe that the plan is woefully inadequate to address the critical need for decent, affordable housing for our neighbors. Here's why. The plan agrees with the state's
assessment that 64 affordable housing units in Bradley Beach are deficient and in need of rehabilitation due to overcrowding or a lack of adequate plumbing or kitchen facilities. This figure greatly exceeds the numbers
of deficient units in comparable towns. The plan proposes to rehabilitate only six units per year over the next 10 years to to be funded by the burrow or through development fees collected in the town's affordable housing trust
fund. We believe that justice requires that Bradley Beach be more aggressive in eliminating unsafe substandard housing for all of its residents. Landlords should be required to correct efficient rental units and the timetable for for
rehabilitations should be accelerated. The plan also acknowledges that Bradley Beach's unfulfilled fair share obligation for the past 37 years was 95 additional affordable units. However,
the burough's plan claims that the burough's current potential for development is only 13 affordable units as there isn't sufficient available vacant land for any more, a small fraction of the 95 units required for
the period 1987 to 2024. This number does not give sufficient weight to the over 1/2 acre parcel at 319 Lraine Avenue that the burrow sold on September 18th as four residential building lots with no provision for
affordable units. If no part of the 319 Line Avenue property was reserved for affordable units, why not contribute 20% of the $2.7 million profit
that the town has realized to the affordable housing trust fund, that is to contribute 20% to the affordable housing trust fund. We also question the plan's claim that 15 existing units of private supportive housing partially satisfy the town's
fair share obligation. This housing supports those battling addiction without regard to income. So it is not limited to individuals having moderate to low income. Finally, the burough's plan acknowledges
that Bradley Beach will have an unmet need of 30 affordable housing units to be added in the next decade. To address this need, the plan proposes the adoption of an ordinance that would require that 15 to 20% of the units in
new multifamily developments be affordable. Given the lack of meaningful progress in creating affordable housing in the past, we doubt that the unmet need will be satisfied without more proactive involvement on the part of town
government. The measures proposed by the Bose plan are clearly inadequate to meet the need for safe, affordable housing in a town where property values are continuing to soar. As longtime residents of Bradley Beach, we believe
that diversity is one of the great strengths of our community. When I went to the Grimary School, almost all the teachers lived in town. If we value the unique character of our town, we encourage our elected officials
to promote redevelopment that will make it possible for all of our neighbors to continue to live here. Thanks very much. >> Thank you. Other comments or questions? >> Mr. Curt, you seem to want to follow.
>> Curtis, >> 2023rd Avenue. Um to follow up on what you've just heard, um the town needs to know that the fair share housing has challenged the plan. It's totally inadequate. Anyone who read the original purpose of the plan would have seen that
Bradley Beach did not address half of what the questions were in the plan, which is a great disappointment. So, here are just a couple of the things that are identified that Bradley Beach has failed at. Um, the Burrow's plan states that Bradley Beach has a an unmet
need for 50 30 additional affordable housing units. Um, that was before the plan was submitted and it's still not answered. The burl's plan supplies a vacant land adjustment and the burl has an obligation to
identify potential sites for redevelopment and a method to generate additional affordable housing units that will satisfy at least 25% of the unmet need. The plan's realistic development
potential by identifying realistic sites that can be developed for affordable housing was not part of the plan. The plan did not address minimum amounts of family housing or housing for different income levels of which there are a
variety of income levels that are in possible addressing affordable housing. Uh the burough's plan overstates the number of credits that can be applied based upon transitional housing units in the burrow and provides no evidence that
the units are affordable. both uh 601 Ocean Avenue and 440 Newark Avenue working with people who are dealing with people who are looking for housing. They are not Oxford houses anymore. To our understanding, there are no Oxford houses in Brady Beach anymore. So, one
of them is owned by a private person who um is using it as an investment strategy. The plan does not address how the burl's past obligation will be addressed, which Bob just talked about. The plan does not provide funding for that can be applied
to rehabilitation of the units and identify the person that's going to be responsible to implement the plan. We have a copy of fair share of plans um submitted to the judge pretty extensive and uh we're going to continue to work
on it. We hope that Bradley Beach will become more open in the process. Um we obviously tried to sit and listen to what the planner was projecting when it happened. It was a terrible plan from our perspective and you use the word inadequate to what the plan was asking
to be submitted in the first place. Thank you. >> Thank you Nancy Meta. >> Thank you for your patience, Miss Meadow. >> Thank you. Why did you tell me how
do you without a pen? That's how I didn't know Tennessee. Nancy me condom mediums. Um I availed myself probably for the first time ever with a freebie in Bradley Beach which was the DMV van. It was lovely. And I got my ID
which I really didn't ever want because I have a password. Um but I spent the $11. think the state needed it. However, I hope when the new bag comes that it's handicapped accessible. It was quite a challenge
to navigate the stairs. We got just a suggestion. Mr. Noi, I look at you as the recreation design. the playground that it currently
equipment that currently exists. Is that equipment going to be reused there? >> I'm not that familiar with I'm the sewer guy. >> Well, >> um, but I understand what you're asking, Matt. Do you know what the disposition
of the equipment that's there today with it? >> The old equipment? Yes. It's all thrown out. Thrown >> out. >> Oh, so we didn't move it to somewhere where somebody could use it? That's the Bradley be. Thank you. >> Well, it's probably not to standards today standards, right?
>> No one should use that window. >> No. >> Okay. And I would like to take Mobble, Mr. Weber, Mayor Wubosi down memory lane to a previous administration
when the lockers went online and cashless. And as usual, hours of me ignored me or actually did finally listen to me when I said you need to accommodate people who choose to
pay for the library my cash. And at that time I also inquired if there would be any fee about doing a credit card or drug listing online and of course I was told no. And then I paid my cash. >> Not by not by any of us. >> I I said memory lane,
>> right? I did not mention a person's name, but you are correct. It was not any of the three of you. Um, and then people who did pay by credit card got a fee added to their bill, which many people were annoyed about.
Now, I've not looked lately, but regarding the discussion about going cashless, it is my understanding it is illegal to be cashless in the state of New Jersey. And if it's not illegal, I would say
adding to the three names I mentioned and now putting in this green lab, you all ran on being inclusive. So if you exclude people from doing business with our borrow by using cash,
I'm excluding you, not including. I understand you don't want to count the money. You don't want this. You don't want that. But there are some of us, whether we're old like me, who don't want to be bothered and don't want their credit cards out there or are not able to obtain that kind of
plastic and choose to pay by cash, you are excluding. So whether it's a legal issue, which Mr. Canon can certainly figure out, or I won't even say more, I'll just say a hard issue.
Um, I'd ask you to reconsider that. And then I just want to say if anybody has not looked at the co-star from last week. Okay, we've got the fold above the fold. Yes, I'm excited that Lenny's is coming
to um, Masquan. But more importantly, read the article about someone's child. I won't bow to them here, who's below the fault. It's quite I didn't want to I didn't mention their name. I'm really good about that. But yes, I'm Mr.
Darnney's daughter who is I think she's just very funny. Um, it was a whole article about her and her career as an actress. So, that's a nice thing. That is Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> Other comments or questions from the audience here? >> Uh, I know. So, now we will go to Zoom. Oh, Mr. I thought you were pointing at the TV. >> Henry Majos 2093rd. Um, you know, there
was the the lawsuit that was settled and I'm not specifically saying that one or any of them. I'm just very sad about all of the lawsuits over the many years. And the thing is is that um
as defendants you always are innocent or someone innocent and and then the plaintiff he'll go to a lawyer or she'll go regardless go to the lawyer and pick a lawyer and they say to the lawyer the lawyer says
tell me about your case and they she or he explains it. Kim will say, "Uh, yeah, but this could take years. You might have to go for these dispositions of years and years."
Then the lawyer looks and he says, "Oh, it's a bur burrow of Bradley Beach. I'll take the case." They fold like a weak suit. You know, a weak suit is in motion. That's what they do every time. So if you're innocent,
go the course because you're going to you're building a reputation that will fold like a weak sue or maybe they have a big lawyer and our lawyer is in this thing. I don't know what the what the situation is, but if you're
innocent, let it run the course because I don't know where we get all the money. Where would you get the money to settle this one? Do we do we sell another bond? What do you get? It just comes right out of the taxpayers's money.
>> Covered by insurance for what? It's covered by insurance. >> What is that? >> So the bare house insurance policy. >> Oh, okay. So that every time I have an insurance policy and I have a lot of claims, then my insurance premiums go up with a drop. >> Uh well, we can't be dropped as a
municipality as a member of the GIF. your point is to claim history isn't insurance. >> That was all my point is that you know if if you as defendants are innocent and I believe you are then we should run
course and build that reputation that we won't be pushed around. Thank you. >> Thank you. I see no there is another hand. Mr. Go ahead. >> J Co. I do agree with the previous
speaker that it will be nice to fight these and send the message that you know let's drag it out for 5 years and see what happens. Unfortunately I realize Jeff will just give you the money and say good luck we're only giving you this much and if it goes over that the taxpayers will pay. So it's an
unfortunate situation that people work and also uh towns that have the uh council manager form of government ocean township and how township have recently had very similar lawsuits. So if we change the form of government don't think these lawsuits are going away. So
I just want to make that clear. Um also I'd like to address some of the comments. First of all Mr. Noiki I I want to uh just understand this full sewer design for a million8. They're going to design the whole town. So we know when we go to bid what what
we're looking at. Is that is that what >> Yes. They're going to design all the remaining portions that have not been built yet. >> So from you know Lake Terrace to you know Fifth Avenue um as including Ocean and Main Street. So they're going to do
the survey lay out the design and then we're going to way it's laid out we're going to do se three phases. So picking and choosing based on DPW's recommendation which are the worst sections that need to get replaced first so we can turn around and take care of
those as we merge those. So we're going to have a design dossier that we can just pick out pieces and say we're going to bid this and we're going to bid that. >> Yes. >> Okay. Great. And and I do want to thank you because I don't think residents especially at the north end really understand what was pitched by the last
administration where they wanted to do lining and and now as tonight you hear the laterals will be done. There'll be a clean out on the curb and that's going to be the standard for every resident's going to get the same thing. >> Correct. That's when that's when we you
know Fifth Avenue was set up to do that aligning and you know back in January we said no stop. Let's replace them. And um and so that's what we're doing. We're replacing all the sewers that aren't years old. They need to be replaced. >> Sure. And in fairness, it should happen all over town exactly the same way. So
we really dodged the bullet. >> And if we can get $2 million of principal forgiveness, basically paying for it, it's the right way to do it here. >> Um I I would like to address some of the questions by a couple of the previous speakers. Um I wish these guys were here. Gary Anglest was the mayor. Larry
Fox was the mayor. And I stood up here alone at about 301 Main Street and said, "Hey, where's the affordable units?" Everybody told me, "Oh, we're fine." And then the project at Auto Tech. I came to all the meetings, the extensions. Oh, we don't have to supply it. I don't know
where those guys were at. I have the emails for Fair Share Housing. Now Fair Share Housing's involved. You know why? Because there's a pool of money now. As per Mr. D's report there's a pool I mean there's a pool of money people show up
whether it be your private life whether it be business life whether it be municipal life so here we go state agency's now going to say hey mayor um I've said all from the beginning and I've told one of the speakers I'll be the first one to say some of that money
should go to 12,000 due to the mismanagement of the program by Mayor Angelad and Mayor Fox by not collecting the fees that administration got. So, I don't know if it's 20%, I don't know if it's 10 or it's 15. It's really up to
the council, but I do support that portion of what they said. I do disagree uh with a couple of the things when it comes to supportive housing. There is no financial rmification. It's the condition of the people that's there that qualifies. Okay? They're
underprivileged based upon their condition. Has nothing to do with money, nothing at all. And that's been stated. That means if they keep repeating it and repeating it. >> So, um, so then the, uh, also we're going to be doing our our our plan. The
land use board will be meeting and going over. We'll have recommendations for the council for their uh, March 30th current deadline with the state to have the revised plan. we will supply the reasonable opportunity to meet some of
these numbers that they that they've called out. Now, in terms of this 64 rehab units and justice requires, listen, the information about those 64 units, we have units without kitchens. We have no
>> that information comes from the 2020 census. It's not confirmed. So, I'd love to know where these units are in Bradley Beach with no bathrooms and no kitchens. Okay? I mean, I'm not going to believe a census document that someone filled out that says, "Oh, we have no kitchen in
our house." So, I think that really needs to be clarified and I would challenge fair share housing on that issue. But we will supply the reasonable opportunity to create the housing in a fair system for the people of Bradley
Beach. Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. >> Thank you. Any other questions or comments in in this room? Seeing none, we'll go to Zoom. Miss Spilman, I see your hand is raised. >> Yes. Thank you. It's been up for a very
long time. Um, I want to follow up on the questions and concerns I raised about the bond ordinance 2025-29 for uh uh the uh pump house, the 54
Ocean Avenue because at the last meeting when I asked about the problem of identifying this uh property as having bathrooms um and that there was a uh an approved
plan that was going to be uh implemented. Well, the approved plan has apparently not been approved. There is no such thing. The uh clerk when asked about uh
when when that plan was going to be available on the website was uh said sent um a link to the original May 6th, 2025 council meeting that is on YouTube. And
that was the first introduction to that uh plan for the 54 um Ocean Avenue. And that was identified at the time as a great starting point and that there
would be a follow-on sessions to uh complete the designs to look at more complete designs. So that was a preliminary. There apparently has not been a followup with uh approved plans
later on. So we still are needing complete designs under that grant. At that meeting also the the uh concerns that were raised was did we need to have permits and did we have to have CAFRA
and it was said at that meeting well we have to investigate CAFRA. Do we know that we do not have a CAFRA we do not need a CAFRA permit? >> We are being told by CME engineering that we do not need a CAFA permit
because we're not expanding. >> Why? Because we're >> because we're not expanding the footprint of the building. >> Yes. For above ground. That may that may very may very well be true. And they've
got a lovely design above ground. There is nothing in that about the sewer design on how to dispose of the raw sewage that comes from bathrooms. And and I'm gonna preface this by saying I think that the function of having a
bathroom there is a great one. I think the design is it looks very very good. What I am concerned about is what's under the ground, not above it. The building in that footprint is fine, but we do not know.
We do not have a design for what the sewage disposal is going to look like underneath that. And I'm very concerned about calling those bathrooms because they were not bathrooms. And even at that initial meeting, it was said that
there were scattered parts of toilets in there. And that was what has apparently been used as evidence that there was a bathroom. I know for a fact there was not a bathroom for the last 25 years.
And I am pretty darn sure not for the last 45 years. So I like to know where this sewer disposal is going to happen. And it sounds like we have an opportunity
under this new sewer grant proposal to actually design the real uh sewage uh problem that that exists there. because otherwise we're going to risk polluting the beach there if we don't
know where that sewage is going to go and we're going to end up like one of the other beach towns this last summer that had such a sewage problem they had to close down their beach their beaches. We don't want to get there. None of us want to get there. But we have to ask
these questions. And if you believe you don't have to c have to have a calf for permit because you've already got bathrooms there, that can appear on the face of it to be a fraudulent statement. So until we know
that bathrooms were there and until we know how raw sewage will be disposed of through the sewage system, I think we need to halt the actual above ground work, which is lovely and can be implemented at any time. But we need to
know that we are not going to be in jeopardy because we don't have a CFPA permit and in jeopardy because we may have a problem with the raw sewage there. So we don't know ever and it does not appear that there were bathrooms
there and there's no evidence that there ever was. >> I'm sorry. We got that point but the time is run out. >> You're out of time. Thank you. >> It's still it's Councilman Weber. Um, I just want to ask you a question. You have a house on Ocean A, right? >> Yes. >> And where does your sewage go? I'll
answer my own question and say it goes to a sewer main that's on Ocean Avenue. So, simply you have a pipe that connects the sewage from your house to the sewer main on Ocean Avenue. The exact same thing is going to happen here. There's they'll connect to the sewer main that
runs down Ocean Avenue. I'm not sure anybody needs to see a schematic diagram to, you know, to show that, but maybe if that's I disagree with that because I I don't see that that that uh connection
from that pump house to that sewer exists. So, I'm just asking >> I'm just letting you know that it used to be a bathroom. I walked in there. There showers there bathrooms. They weren't used for maybe for 25 years. That's why we're rehabilitating a building that hasn't been used for its
original purpose for 25, 40, 50, we don't know how many years, but we're getting it done. It definitely used to be a bathroom. I was in there. There's bathrooms. >> And and and the trailer and the trailer that sits 20 ft away also has a connection to the sewer line, >> right? >> No. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. That
that sewage gets pumped away. >> It a truck comes and pumps it out. >> That's not Mr. Spendo. Thank you. We will confirm your concerns and make sure that they're not valid with the C with our engineers. If for any reason we find out that you're correct, we will
certainly look into it further. >> Thank you. >> Will this project uh fall under the sewer uh design? >> No already there. >> It's just connecting a building to the sewer. It's not a new sewer line. Yeah. Okay.
>> So, it'll fall under that same sewer uh funding, right? >> Going to move on, Mr. Spilman, but thank you. Uh Mr. Greenberg has his hand up. >> Don Greenberg. >> Yeah, there we go. Hey guys. Uh see, the
host is not allowing people to unmute. Can you hear me now? >> We can. >> Okay, cool. Don Greenberg, 302 Parkplace A. Um, got a question for you on the planting strip. So, I understand that if you have one of those little walkways
and you also have a driveway, if you sell your house to get the continuing CO, that has to go away. What about if you're doing a renovation and you have one, do you need to get rid of it before you get your CO after the renovation?
>> It's a CCO is is my understanding. So with continued certificate of continued occupancy so um technicality Mr. Greamer but as far as uh code enforcement has explained to us uh if you need a CCO you
would need to remove the the cement. >> So is a CCO something you get after a renovation or is that something different? >> It's different. >> It's different. He's talking about a UCCCC, which means that all the construction inspections have been completed, right?
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, after the renovations done, are they going to say, "No, you got to remove that that little strip there to get your final CO." >> No, but if you require a zoning permit for the construction that you're performing, you might run into the same issue as the CCF.
>> Okay. So if you have you have to pull a construction permit to do something, you know, like inside your house inspection, this isn't going to apply not because UCC is governed by the state and this is a town ordinance. So we don't have the authority really to hold up unless it's part of a zoning approval, which would
be a prior approval. We don't have the authority to hold up construction permits for this issue >> unless you invoke zoning or the CCO, which also invokes their jurisdiction. So that's how they've structured it to fix it over time. >> All right. Thanks, Greg.
>> Appreciate that. And the other thing is uh I also agree that it would be great if uh we can donate some of the profits um from the uh from the Lraine Avenue sale to the um to the uh low-income
housing fund. I think that would be a wonderful thing to do. I think it would be the uh the prudent thing to do. So, that's all I got, guys. Thank you, Don. And for the record, that is an idea that's been floated long before uh it
was floated this evening. The council's at least discuss that informally over the past year at least. So, uh I'm sure we will consider it further. Um any other hands raised? Any other questions, comments?
>> Okay, seeing none, I will we will close public comment and I will make their Oh. I thought you were picking. >> Sorry. >> Um, I will make a motion to adjurnn. >> Good. All in favor? >> I
Faith.
