letter of credit for the benefit of the township in an amount equal to one year's debt service on the township's bonds. The letter of credit remains in effect until the maturity of the township bonds on October 1st of 2029. Since 2014, Brick Standard, now

these resolutions only. Yes, sir. 111 questions on the repaving. I'm sorry. You say that. The repavement. going to be paving at our head after done. But question one is um how is the price for that?
I believe it goes out to bid. Is that right, Mrs. Bergen? Uh so is this for um the reservicing? I'm sorry. Okay. Uh yes. So we go out for quotes with companies that do this service. They provide bids and we go with the lowest estimate. Okay. So this was sent
out to bid. It wasn't state contract. Um, I don't know if it was state contract. Let me take a look real quick. I'm going to clarify that for you. I'm sorry that wasn't in the comments. Let me uh track that down. That's a good catch though because we usually do say if it's a state
contract. I can't find it. Does anybody have their backup? I'm looking for mine. Is it in the capital? It's in the capital budget, but that's not Yeah, he's he's not asking if it was in the capital. He's
asking Striker EMS savic. Uh yeah, that's that's it through was through New Jersey state contract. New Jersey state contract. I'm sorry. Left that out of the comments. Can I ask um why through state contract had not set out that they see we couldn't get a better price.
Well, the state contract system, whether it's a national co-op or the state contract, they do all that. They do all of that to get competitive pricing that makes it more efficient for us to do that. So, we don't have to pay an engineer to come up with design specs to go out to bid. That's what these co-ops
and the state contract does for us. So, my followup question to that is going remember that we had at one time our own road group. Is that still true today? No. Well, we have a road we have a a road
department in Department of Public Works, but they but they wouldn't have done this is not paving. This is not a paving job. So, it's not comparable to a discussion about the road crew. This is rubber recycling which is the playground surface which was never done by our road crew. So, this is this is
not this is strictly the actual playground. This is the playground service. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Are there other questions or comments? Seeing none, close public. Roll call, please. Councilman Albanese,

there had been a uh someone had noted that they had been ICE has been in Brick Township. So I was concerned about that obviously uh as far as I was concerned and and not notified that that was the case. So I did my due diligence and I
did reach out to not only the county prosecutor, but I also reached out to the state attorney general to see if that was the case and if it was something that we hadn't been notified about. and both entities uh definitively answered no that ICE has not been in
Brick Township uh and that we would likely be made aware of in some form uh if they were to make uh their way here. So, I just wanted to answer that question. I know there were some concerns and people had reached out afterwards asking if that was the case and I wanted to make sure that that was
not the case and that we had not been, you know, just not notified. So, that is all I have. I hope to see people at the green fair and at the garage sale. If I pop over to your house, please say hi. I'm looking for bargains and uh maybe at visitation lunch on Thursday as well.

is the vendors get to be friends with each other and they make things with each of their products and um they share things and collaborate and it really turns into a real community feeling. It's brick is the big town with the small town feel as the mayor always
says. And that is all I have. I'm sorry. I thought you were going to say your favorite thing was the bacon cheddar scones. It is. Maple bacon cheddar scones from 502 Bakery are delicious. Just putting that out there. Oh, they sell out. They are delicious.
