really for everybody to start doing it we're doing commercial what are we going to do with residential Bricktown has trailers on their property they have it at the recreation center they have it at the palal they have them all over the place so why are they not being issued do do they have a site plan that
it actually says trailers on there we want to work with all of the businesses here in town we do and as I said it's a complaint-based system we're not sending people out really the Presbyterian Church has two
trailers so far off the road for the Boy Scouts it's so far who could see them you can't even really see them they're and they got a citation it doesn't make that doesn't make sense at all some of the places have them behind their buildings and they're getting summonses
why you can't really see them in the road so how they how's somebody going to find them we are working with we are going to work with these businesses to make sure that the trailers are it's affecting all
the businesses it is but why can't we just leave things alone it's not hurting anybody that's the problem I have it's not affecting these people it's not affecting these people let them all run their business if somebody has 10 trailers on his property I understand then should be a citation but when you
got a little guy one person with a little trailer on his property it's not affecting anybody it it's it's really not you guys know that so something's happening that we're just going to start citation on these people and it it just makes no sense so one individual that's
here tonight he's been going to the courts and with him going to the courts it's cting them a lot of money it's costing the people of Bricktown money it's tax dollars that we're paying for this guy you know for you guys to go through the course and it's going to end
up being a class action suit because everybody's going to end up getting together against the town I'm being honest and that's what's going to end up happening because that's why all these people started coming it started on social media and now everybody's worried about the boats everybody's worried about the business well let's be clear
about the boats so there's some misinformation there's misinformation about what is allowed on on residential property so boats and boat trailers are permitted we're boating community okay nobody's being cited for that okay um
RVs and campers permitted on properties RV a camper stage you've got everything stored in your camper okay and also open landscape trailers are permitted I'm telling you what's permitted by the code so why
can't a guy have a 6X 12 trailer on his property because he can't doesn't have a garage and something like that it it makes no sense am I right or wrong we have people who have called and complained if you're talking about Residential Properties at this point we have residents who've called and
complained and it's our the duty of the Code Enforcement Officers to go out and investigate each complaint so people complain about one individual because there's one individual that's you know well you're saying that but there are 75,000 people that live in this town and
there are people who call and complain about having trailers parked in their neighborhoods that is something that is it's it's it's a it's a I understand what you're saying and we really want to work with everyone to try to make sure
that everyone is able to have what they need and and do what they need to do however because the there's we have code and we have people who residents in this town who see these things and they don't
want trailers in their neighborhood so we have to act on that so we go after one person that somebody we don't go after one person you're acting like retargeting one person council president yeah look Bob we appreciate your feedback we understand that this is it's a bad issue in this town because we
never had this problem that's me finish we understand that the concerns that you're raising are held by many right and I appreciate your feedback I think the council appreciates your feedback and we will take that into consideration as mayor CRA had said we are looking for an amable resolution I think there's a
perception that the town is targeting folks that is not occurring it is the case that all of the noise brought around the ordinance that you yourself has admitted has been on the books for more than 55 years corre has led to a flood of complaints into the code
enforcement group and they are at the moment bound to go out and address those complaints so I think there's a resolution to be found here it's something that we're going to work on one of the other things that I do want to point out as far as uh trailers and things like that on
properties if you're doing construction on your home and you have a dumpster and you have one of the you know the rat packs or whatever they're called those are permissible for short amount of time so if you are doing construction on your home all that we ask is that you and you
don't need a permit so for instance if you're getting your floors ripped up you don't need a permit for that okay but you need to obviously move your furniture out of the house we just ask that you call code enforcement and let them know so that it's on their radar so that they know uh that obviously it's a shortterm thing and they're not going to
be if the neighbor does call and say something that they're aware of that property that we do ask for people to do that that helps us so that we're not called out to places that are you know we don't need to investigate so you're saying landscapers are okay with
trailers on their property open Landscaping trailers are permitted okay any closed trailer you cannot have on the property as the code is written right now open Landscaping trailers are permitted RVs campers boats and boat
trailers on Residential Properties and Commercial we're talking about commercial too I'm yeah it's same it's the same s you have to have the site plan for the commercial though for the for the closed trailers you have to have
the site can we do yeah boats are allowed Yeahs are allowed okay there's no issue that boats are boats and trailers boats are allowed on commercial property open trailer is allowed on a commercial property if you're going to do a large scale boat
storage operation that's going to require a site plan some's going large scale right boats are allowed on commercial property open trailers are allowed on commercial property right and residential residential the only ones that are not
allowed is an enclosed trailer on commercial and residential CL not allow and also I need you to keep in mind when those things are on the property they need to be out of the
right away and they need to not be uh blocking like line of sight s yeah right so enclosed trailers will not be allowed on commercial or residential property unless it's part of the site plan for the commercial property so somebody that
has a enclosed trailer on a residential property that he's using for stor of his antique car whatever he has is not allowed as the code is written right now correct and we're going to enforce those
codes on everybody with in enclosed trailer uh if a complaint is called out and has to be investigated then at this point yes so I'm mad at you today and you have a enclosed trailer I call up and the situation it gets out and he
gets a uh summons on that does that how that goes now or no it'll be investigated it's investigated like any other complaint is investigated I understand that but what I'm saying is Joe small has an argument I have an argument with you today and I call up so are we going to pursue it or
just give him a warning you know like let's you know how's it going to work our code enforcement if if a call if a complaint is made code enforcement goes out to investigate correct and they will make the determination and they will make the
determination okay I'll let these guys do their talking thank you Bob Hasselback 28 West pamper I just heard the biggest bunch of BS from the mayor about uh who uh you can't find out
and so on you guys cited me two years ago and through Discovery I got the name and the address of the person and a person and other than a code enforcement person where emails were brought back and
forth and originally the code enforcement said I was not in violation having my trailer because it's registered insured and it had registered and insured motor vehicles and the title on it says a utility trailer not a
storage trailer and I'll tell you it's been one two years going on now and it's the person thing because it was a person down the street that I had an issue with and they called it in and then it affected two other people on the Block
and then nothing was done for a while now I also have information about other people that was cited and when it was cited and so on and this is not a uh common thing that's going on all the time this was something because the one person which somebody's going to they're
going to find out who this person is who started all this problem and where they live and all their information and I'm not going to stop because they're persecuting me for having a motorcycle trailer that's uh roadworthy and everything else and I'm not bothering
anybody because I got some cranky Navy down the street who happens to be a friend with somebody who works for the township now I get persecuted for it and I will if I have to I'm going to pursue it to the to the Limit because I don't like this I just Want To Be Live and Let
Live I don't want to be bothered I'm not having a a deric trailer I don't have a bunch of junk there I store my motorcycle and my rally gear in the motorcycle and actually it's garage it's not stored because I take the bike out I ride it and I put it back in there and
it's garaged in there it's not stored I it sits there for8 10 months and that's what it is because I don't have a place to put it and there's a lot of other people that don't have places for snow dirt bikes antique cars classic cars because they don't have
garages and they've got to go out of town or pay somebody else to uh store and then the other thing you said about it's a boating community when you're talking about tra uh what do you call camper trailers and motor homes you don't have one recreational Campground
in this town so how can you say that this is a recreational Camping Town it's not there isn't any well that's what you're insinuating just because it's boating Mr H I think the mayor the mayor is referring you to the way the ordinance
is written well it's a discriminatory and it's a a what do you call spite ordinance and I think people are going to get together I hope come election we'll see what happens then thank [Applause]
you anybody else from public please state your name and your address sir good evening Mike kler 2456 Hooper Avenue I want to begin by uh opening up and some things I may say may be uh perceived a little uh rough I'm going to
just say it as as it comes to my mind to represent myself my interest and the people uh through the community but um what I'm seeing I was at the meeting where the attorney starky spoke to me looked me in the eye and told me that the issue was tabled and it's back
tonight so without interruption okay um we listen to you please listen to me um I find that to be an issue of cander because you tell somebody it's not going to be addressed and now it comes back either you're getting pressure from an
affiliate of yours or you just simply didn't tell the truth if that's the case then we have a public mistrust issue and today on the internet through Facebook somebody posted around the 4:00 Hour 4 p.m. that the matter they they posted
the agenda and I don't know if it was was a council member or Township official in any capacity uh but it said it would not be addressed and then it wasn't until a small neighborhood community chat that it said if you have interest in this topic you better get there because it is in fact going to be
discussed so again public trust and I think as a nation we've gone through enough public trust and mistrust is distrust issues over the last four plus years that locally we don't need it we need to have trust in every single one of you and that's my my next point is
that power you hold power and power starts with knowledge and I don't think with respect to this ordinance when you go to definitions of what makes a trailer I don't think if I gave you a sheet of paper to write down the types of trailers you would know any of the
types let alone the differences between them I do I'm a retired uh State Police commercial truck inspector it's a federal agreement between Canada United States and Mexico called the North American an agreement and you can go 26 years in this in that
in that specific job position and still have your head spin trying to learn things to make sense out of it I held power power to the point where I could give penalty to an innocent driver who just failed to know knowledge more than he might make in a
quarter half a year an entire year salary with a stroke of one pen I could sync him his family and everything else and I don't know if you guys know what you can and can't do but I had I never abused it I'm not saying anybody tonight is abusing it but I think pressure is
coming and I feel bad for the code enforcement officials because they have a job to do and they have to worry about their own hide but with respect to the trailer owners and the many many different trailers that exist that I don't expect
you up here to be able to describe in any great detail that cooler heads can Prevail as a community without making making threats to take a town to court we can make agreement and come to resolution now I think what the right thing to do
is to get off the backs of these people who either rent space at Commercial Properties or own them outright or house these trailers at their homes because these trailers are unique to everybody's situation being what it is whether it's for private storage employment mayor
with respect to the things you said we're a boating community yes we are but I was raised you work before you play and we're a we're a working community and I'm here my whole life and my family's been here for over hundred
years and they held prominent positions post uh post official you know head of the postmaster building the Elks Lodge managing the Elks Lodge having Community sense and pride and knowing how to take care of people without hurting people
and I think the right thing to do is to revisit the Ordinance do a little learning get some public public Insight I'm retired I'd be more than willing to work with every single one of you and make these people be able to sleep at night at rest knowing that they're not hurting people because there should be
restrictions about the biggest commercial landscape contractor Carpenter trailer is would be about a 26 foot trailer and most people have open trailers because they can't afford the enclosed trailer it's just a matter of dollars and cents again we're a working
community and everyone strives to do the right thing I I ask you if how many times has this ordinance been addressed since its Inception has it been modified by anybody up here and when was its last revision when was its last enforcement
if any at all these people of this town work their asses off and they deserve to be treated with some dignity and respect because you can go work in Rumson and that Town's not perfect what are we trying to gain from this because if you just go after a small group you're
thinking micro think macro and look at the big picture we're not perfect we can do better we can all do better we can clean up our town we can make things better but we need to come together and you the answer is not stroking out
enforcement to scare because to me that's oversight that's abuse of power and that's not knowing how to yield power again I could give people tickets that were six figures and go home and eat my dinner and smile on my couch and look at my family and have normal
conversation I never did it once because I knew the impact go back to the enforcements the code enforcement officials with their being pushed in a corner are doing their job write a letter publicly through your patch or whatever electronic means we
picked up an ordinance tonight to save some money not everyone gets Asbury Park Press no one gets the coastal sun or whatever that newspaper may or may not be called put it on a public website everyone who got a letter from this period to that period stating you're in violation of ABC c
123 scrap it please shred it to Doc let's go back let's revisit maybe put restrictions 26 foot yes you can be enclosed yes you can be open on a residential property workingclass Community we'll go boating on Saturday and Sunday or after work after 5: but
let's start to give some respect in both directions to All parties and get it right because if we can't take care of each other then I'm going to leave here again saying well what was it that attorney said said to me when he told me it's not going to be disgusted but now it is disgusted I was in my pajamas
tonight about to eat dinner it's thrown in the fridge I threw some clothes on and I came here to hear just exactly what's going on because I don't want to count on somebody second third person on the internet that's about all I have to say I volunteer my time to make it better for everybody involved I have a lot of
knowledge I don't have all the answers and if there's something I can help I don't have an answer to I'll find the answer and help you to make the community better the people of town deserve better scrap the letters of enforcement give them a second chance
gain something again Ask every single person when you read that ordinance what is it we're trying to do because if you're trying to become Rumson if you're trying to become Fair Haven we got a long way to go stop thinking so micro
and look broader to a macro sense we owe it to each other you hold power realize how you delve it out thank you for your comments Mike and I thank you for your offer as well just a point of clarification we did not
bring up the trailer discussion in this meeting or in previous meetings but obviously whatever the public would like to bring up in public comment is something that can be discussed I just to Signal out the attorney do you recall that conversation said to me is we can go back to the
video yeah and you will hear you said Mike it is done I said you juste tell me again because a lot of times these things have a way of resur I hear you're saying I'll clarify that yes there was an amendment to the CH ordinance that was on frankly I thought I thought it was something that would clarify some of
the issues that are here tonight and there was an uproar about it um that uh chair ordinance was withdrawn you said I want a guarantee that that amendment to ordinance will not be coming back and I gave you that guarantee I stand by my
word there is nothing on the agenda tonight on trailers there is no Amendment to the trailer ordance I understand there are people out here that are that are upset I get it and they're upset because they were issued summonses under the existing Trail ordinance has been in place since 1971 that's a discussion that we can have but
don't question my Integrity about giving you a commitment that I'm standing by the council stood by there is not any amendment to that trail ordinance there will not be an amendment to the trail ordinance it's been in place place since 1971 this is a different discussion we're having tonight than what we talked
about that night a few weeks ago stroke I said discuss said I can't we can't predict going to bring you up and ask I can't control that you're you're you are free to get up and talk about it you're
the public you're entitled to do that I don't control that we appreciate the offer as well Mike any other questions from public moving forward please raise your hand if you'd like to be recognized we got
it Mike caleres 331 Stenson road I'll start off like this I am part of I guess the misinformation problem that was referenced today I'm the guy that uh has been emailing everyone one of you guys and very s it took two months to get a response I'm just going
to toss that out there misinformation comes from no response when we were here we had a lot of questions I had a lot of questions and those questions all revolved around why this thing came up in the in the in the beginning why was it trying to be changed then why was it tabled all of a
sudden and it took two months to get a response out of anybody and now what I'm hearing is that I could live I could have my my tool trailer that has been on my property it's an enclosed trailer for 20 years I've been business I'm a business owner in this town for 20 years someone could move in make an anonymous
complaint and due to the to the ordinance the way it's written right now I would have to I would probably be have to have to move my my trailer because there was a complaint on it but it's been there 20 years are we going to be doing anything to try to say Rectify or protect some of the landscapers and some
of the Mason contractors or some of the you know business owners that have their trailers on their property because it's a lot of people right because I didn't see anything when you guys brought it up in that it was Banning 10 thou anything gross vehicle weigh over 10,000 PBS that's not misinformation that came right off of your site that means my
duly would not have been able to park on my property that's what got me involved in this that's what started the brick breakdown in the first place your lack of response created me and it created a lot of the misinformation that we're seeing right now and sorry I brought up the I brought
up the boats because I am concerned the way the ordinance is written that because it trailers says anything on Wheels then you have specific carve outs for different things so if it starts at at the the business owners and you know
some of the some of the um you know Commercial Business we have when is it going to start trickling down to people like me who've been in business here for 20 years and there's no guarantee that it's not going to happen and what I hear here is you guys aren't even planning on bringing it up and and protecting
anybody like us has that has that been discussed all I saw was in your proposal was it hurting people like me who take a who take a trailer to work every day so do we have anything that are we are we discussing anything to carve out people like me I get you know nothing for nothing we
talk about RV's our V's go against what the ordinance was I think designed for not to have people living in it I'm cool with people not living in their trailers but you could have an RV that you could live in it's a ready-made house
what what I'm I I get it I get it but you see you're saying it though so what I'm saying is it's allowed if I can't have an enclosed Trail where people living in it for that for that discussed purpose in the ordinance but someone can have an RV that can be lived in on on
your property don't you don't see like kind of how that there's there's the way that ordinance is written is actually pretty bad and the fix to it was even worse and now are we doing are we really going to consider anything that could possibly fix some of the you know Mis clarification or misinformation that's
clearly in this that may protect people like us that are worried that some of the some of the subm engines that are happening right now are going to start happening to us and all they need is anonymous complaint are you guys going to protect us from this we're obviously going to be looking
at this ordinance to see what is in there that is obviously detrimental to small businesses so we're not here we are not here business owners I understand that yes so so I also offer my services oh sorry go
sorry thank you we're not here to hurt small businesses we want to help small businesses we understand that this is an issue it really wasn't an issue up until we tried to clarify for our code enforcement what this ordinance meant that has been
on the books for over 50 years okay because we have had people calling in to complain when people call in to complain our code enforcement goes out our code enforcement had questions about the ordinance our attorney sat down we went
over the ordinance and what the meaning of the ordinance was and when the change was going to be made obviously it was not well you know the public did not want that to happen and we rescinded that change to the ordinance now because
so much attention has come up about this ordinance people are realizing oh I don't have to have maybe there's somebody living on the Block like you for 20 years that uh you know had their trailer and they're like oh I I don't like that trailer I'm going to call about it I I don't know who's calling
okay I don't answer the calls I'm not looking at the call logs I'm just saying that people have called and complained it's obviously a problem it's being recognized and it's something that the council and the land use committee can look at again to see if there's some way we
can Rectify it so that we are not injuring small business owners because we don't want to do that we should though because because what you said earlier I think it was something like people don't want trailers in their neighborhoods well some people don't some people call I know but some people also want to make a living so if we
acquest just to them without protecting us I think there's there's a real big gap there that's missing and I also would like to honestly I would love to be a part of this if you guys want to do it we could do it on the show we could have a round table conversation I'm being very serious because allow me to
interject for a moment everybody information allow me to interject for one moment you've mentioned that we did not respond for two months two requests to appear on your podcast three two requests to appear on your podcast the first the first hold on I'll let the mayor speak for herself but I am sure that she has
made herself available to you the first one was a discussion with me discussion with me I sent you all of you to talk about that ordinance the podcast didn't even exist on my first one then there was two requests to come on my show none of which any of you responded to for two
months two months then I got four responses in the matter of eight hours all saying No thank you this isn't just a podcast this is a new show it's a breakdown show of this town it's a highlight show of this town I've been I've been reading off the sports the all the sports highlights I've been playing
the kids sports highlights this is an information-based show from this town and the fact that it took everybody two months to come and even even say anything to me then you say that that's ridiculous that's that's an insult I'm I am a brick res sounds like a Personal Agenda it's not a personal agenda I do
have a Personal Agenda the agenda is to get information out period and the mayor it has been H made available to answer questions three notes everybody we need to do better that's all I'm going to say to be clear we are meeting next week 100% I look forward to it and
I and I've announced that on my show I've announced it on my show but we're not doing it to where everybody could see it I would love it if we could get it on tape I want everybody to get to know you guys I want to have you on to discuss issues I want to have you guys on to discuss issues one of the things that happens is I get in that voting
booth and I look at the names and I have no idea who you people are none and I want to change that you guys should be talking to me I am giving you a platform to talk to these people and none of you guys want to take me up on it I want to be I want you guys to be a
part of this I want everybody to be a part of this this is not just my personal issue this is this town I could be a big help use me get your message out I won't do it in a biased fashion I haven't been anybody here looks at me they know that I I have been very straight across the
board with you guys this entire time I gave you two months to respond you still have it I no I did anybody else from public Mr bacon good evening my name is Charles bacon I
live at 366 ran ccus drive I have a couple questions about the ordinance I didn't attend the December 10th meeting as everyone in this room knows and I've talked about this three meetings in a row first for the point of the people in
the audience and people watching this can we just Define what ordinance we're talking about I just want to confirm is it chapter 288 chapter 288 288 okay thank you very much and well technically both it's chapter 288 and 445 te okay
thank you and this is a point of clarification when art came up here he was talking about the ordinance and I believe mayor you might have said this you mentioned that enclosed trailers were always banned now I got to be honest with you when I came here at the
December 27th meeting I had the redline ordinance so I didn't bring the original one but in this ordinance it looked like specifically we were changing the language to actually ban closed trailers so he's battling to town about a closed
trailer that you said has been on the books and maybe it's because I don't have ordinance 288 before it was going to be introduced at December 10th and as council president said it was pulled but the one I'm seeing red line clearly is targeting a closed
trailer it's clearly in the red lines we're actually defining an open trailer we're defining a closed trailer now I thought I heard at my age maybe my hearing's not what it should be that he's never been allowed to have a closed trailer on his property so I think for
the point of the discussion and the the public that ordinance should be brought into here and memorialized in the minutes so we can actually see what it looks like so we can discuss was it being or is he being targeted and I've actually talked about this through a
couple meetings because I do believe he has been targeted have a good evening and thank you thank you Mr bacon there any other questions from the public yes sir hello my name is Richie Campbell I
live in Brick good evening Brick Township I appreciate the opportunity to speak and address you today though I've stepped back from local politics to focus on pursuing a PhD I and don't want to have to get involved however I can't ignore the pressing issues in our community uh
recently code enforcement uh I've noticed uh seems to be disproportionately targeting homeowners such as myself including my 1966 chel I've been cited for having this vehicle outside I lack of an enclosed storage option like a garage like the previous
gentleman mentioned like most of us are because we're workingclass people and an enclosed I la an enclosed trailer storage option uh for my vehicle because of the behavior and regulations of the lunatics running in this community that at any moment I would have to get rid of it so that is why I haven't bought one
meanwhile there appears to be absolutely zero accountability for businesses along mokan Road and other actual enforceable offenses which undermine the fairness of enforcement I respectfully call on the township to shift shift its code enforcement Focus to ensure businesses are held accountable while M and
maintaining their actual properties rather than targeting taxpayer homeowners the imbalance burdens hardworking taxpaying residents who are workingclass men and women trying to feed their families I I believe m Road should be one of the best beach towns in the
entire state if not the country uh but currently if it's neglected up un unkempt and resembles a dump if my house violated most of the rules that many of these uh businesses did I would have uh I'd have citations in the mail I
guarantee it I urge the township to prioritize improvements and enforcement to maintain uh maintain its potential as a viable Community instead of harassing me for having a Porsche or a chel I want to highlight this that this is a deeper concern the policies driving these enforcement practices seem to be
shaped from school teachers and unqualified individuals rather than those who understand the realities of workingclass life and the challenges of supporting a family in this community this disconnect has failed our Township tremendously please address these issues effectively so I and others like me
don't have to step up into local politics to advocate for change everyone here who's come out they had to go to work and now they're here complaining to you guys okay they don't want to do that on their Tuesday night cuz they got to get up extra early to go feed their families to pay the property taxes and
all their bills that keep piling up in this community this town does does not improve year over year over year you guys Pat yourselves on the back act like you're doing a great job I I don't see it I'm sure most of the people here don't see it okay please start doing
right for the township of Comm of Brick Township okay we have two paths one is revi revitalization and fairness for all reservation where we can continue neglect an inequality I hope you take the action to improve our community and
um uh I I don't expect much from the other side in the upcoming election maybe if some viable candidates actually come you guys would actually start working but uh just a terrible job by everybody I I I don't think the town is doing great and uh you all should take
some self- responsibility and there's plenty to do here and uh yeah I hope you guys fix myen road because it it really should be beautiful if anyone wants to debate any of my points I I unfair to speak thank you for your comments Mr Campbell okay
all right let's waste another minute because you guys waste our time at taxes nice to see you Joanne have a great day everybody Thomas Finelli 1889 Route 88 unit 7 um this commercial property behind
vent hotton chocolate storage it's all like big gar garages Tucker is back there Hudson Landscaping was there back in I think the 80s then it became Farrell's Landscaping um and then I moved in two
years ago I came through when before I got my lease I came down the zoning asked if I needed to get any kind of paperwork they said no you're good Mr Finelli you and your family have been here for 40 years running the landscape company I didn't think we'd have any
problems I asked all the neighbors there's one behind the property of the shop we don't make any noise I have three enclosed trailers on the property I got a violation on the the 12th after tomorrow it's $22,000 per day
for the enclosed trailers to be on my prop going back to May 22nd 2023 talk to zoning there was no issues I didn't need a variance I didn't need zoning
approval I had a letter saying Zone zoning was approved for the landscape company to continuously be ran we're not switching there's not a mechanic shop I'm not running a mechanic shop running a landscape company enclosed trailer has my mowers that go out daily in the
summer over the winter months they sit in there and they get they sit there for the winter for two months so I don't know what the problem is why all of a sudden now I'm getting a violation two years later after I came downstairs asking if I needed to do
anything different running in my landscape compan yeah it sounds like it's it could have been a mistake if you were told so that's the mistake has that a mistake I have an enclosed trailer and I got I got targeted I'm sorry that's not targeting
an enclosed trailer on a commercial property so we got to we have to work together whatever we're doing zoning engineering whoever is talking Pablo was the code enforcement okay didn't speak with them okay I
wanted to I came here on the 13th he's on medical right did you speak to anyone else from code though Chris and um Jerry briefly okay someone get in touch with me no one nobody got back got back okay can I see y i i I agree with the mayor
this this is ridiculous the way you're you're I I'm not familiar with this at all but I think there there may have been a mistake so what i' suggest is but I have an enclos trailer in a commercial property but if zon gave you the appr that may be the that mistake if that's why I need
nothing then no you were no no no no no why did I need nothing then as a site plan continuous use because you probably had one with the original use yeah you were just were just a new tenant with the same I understand that but if it was
a change of you but why wouldn't that be that should he should have came back here looked at the address of that site and seeing if I had proper usage yeah Poss I think what they're saying is this may be a mistake and if you come and talk these may not be properly issued to
you that that's the point well I came on the 13th and then I haven't had a call since didn't know yes I apologize but then I speak on behalf of everybody if I didn't need a site plan and I don't think the owner has a site plan cuz it's been I I spoke to them he didn't know
anything anything about it but it's been two landscape generations and then myself you could have been quite some time ago yeah some of the site plans go back 20 30 40 years so they're May so it's got to be if it's if it's landscape use or material yard use it's
fine it may be well I this is all new so if you can just show us what you have and we'll take a look at it and I think we could probably clear this up I it maybe a mistake on the town's part that needs to be resolved we don't know enough sitting here tonight to tell you that but we probably tell you tomorrow
once we look at it but then I'm speaking on behalf of everybody well they might not all have the exact same circumstances but what you've described indicates that perhaps somebody in Code Enforcement should not have written that citation it will be taken under review but who called and complained on made
that I can't answer I was one of 28 violations in the town one of 28 there has to be someone that said go find trailers I'm in the back of ada8 you have to drive behind my building to see my
trailers no one from the public can see they see a sign finelli's landscape that's it you literally have to drive around the building and I have one neighbor and that one neighbor did Neely did not call on me so the code enforce just targeted me
I feel like I got targeted I definitely got targeted because nobody comes back there it's a car wash Tuckers me and a neighbor that I went there I said did you call and complaint is there
an issue she said no I did not call in you Mr Finelli it is not the goal of Cote enforcement to Target people but I feel like I'm getting Target yes I know I'm just saying like that is not what we want our code officials doing for 40
years here and never had an isue what I'm going to suggest is this is that we take the information that you provided and we follow up with the inducement investigation but that's what I'm saying for the 28 people that got the violations on commercial property I'm fighting on behalf I'm not just fighting for me I'm fighting on behalf
of everybody because for someone to come round my back it's all on camera understood so but your circumstances may be different from others right but who called them me we are going to it's public knowledge though who who actually
called certainly the Town Council does not have that information who has that information I tell you there there complaints come into code enforcement and I'll say this as a matter of policy it's same with complaints into the police
department probably not no probably not no though as a matter of policy we don't disclose that for either police matters or for code enforcement matters all right thank you thank you are there any other public

our responses to those comments I know the mayor has reiterated it we care about the people in this town I I've grown up in this town I know it might not feel that way or you guys are angry and you want to think differently I've worked landscaping jobs in this town and
This Town Council does want to do what's best for the people in our town so we will consider everything that was shared here tonight we will discuss things with our code enforcement group and others in the administration that work in the township and we will determine whether or not there's something that should be
done or should can be done in order to recognize the concerns that you guys are raising with that I'm going to announce that the next public meeting is on Tuesday March 11th at 7 pm going to ask for a motion and a second to adjourn
