old used to live. They put a um That's why these Oh my god. Oh my had it in all. >> Who are they playing?
Oh yeah. >> Really? >> Oh yeah. I want to go get one. Okay. Run, dude. the dog. My name is
>> I live in New Orleans. And you know when when I'm driving out of Brigson, you got people I'm doing. People throw them on my ass. Pull over and they're doing 65 miles an hour. >> You guys would have set up a st. Pull
them over. You know where you go under the bridge. Pull them over. Make them win. Right them up. >> You know, it just it infuriates me because when I'm doing the speed >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> So, I just, you know, it's something to think about because you got that bridge.
You could pull five or six of them over there and really make them wait. You're in a big hurry. Oh, guess what? Are you going to wait a half hour while we raise your money? >> Unfortunately, you have to leave them. >> But to >> you can't you can't funnel people into things without letting them know. >> You have to you'd have to tell them, right?
>> Yeah. You have to tell them you have to tell them and you have to give them a route of egress. >> You can't you have to you have to it's it's the most stupid thing you've ever heard of in your life. It's been around for a long time. I mean, like when they do DWI checkpoints, you have you have to
give them a route of egress to get away from the checkpoint >> and you have to tell them it's coming up. It's >> so if you put in the paper, you'd have to give them another way to get off the island. >> Y >> but uh a lot of people don't realize like every time you see a Tahoe go by or
a police car go by, they're running moving radar. They're running as they're going. Um a lot of people we talk to don't realize that. They think the only time we're doing radar is if we're sitting on the side, but every time they go up and back, up and back. We just got
They stroke somebody for like 85 or something. >> It just infuriates me when they >> Yeah, leaving just as bad is worse because they don't think you're there. and the contract. >> I I think they could drop the speed
to 30 miles an hour. >> That's that's been talked about a lot. The county actually want to raise the speed because of flow. It's like all this weird they do all these weird studies and all these weird algorithms and it's
like they were fine with 45 >> because it's like a thing that's how they come up with their >> and it's like we don't we don't make this fast enough then it's slow and bottleneck roads and all this kind of stuff.
>> I don't see that. So they actually wanted to raise it >> and we were like >> we never get it back. >> Yeah. So >> yeah. Well, we might we might when they redo the circle >> they redo the circle. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah.
>> Was there one other thing I lost? Anyway, that's that's crazy. I I just makes me nuts. >> Oh yeah, we just >> we brought that up in the meeting about run point. >> Oh,
>> people are going to be coming out of point. >> So what about what about see when you come in those people have a lane there and they have a >> people that come from under the bridge? No, I mean the house on the side where we're coming into a buffer
>> like that road you mean the access. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But the other side has no buffer now. >> Okay. I'm leaving the other contract from halfway into the next lane to avoid from killing. >> Oh yeah.
>> They should make it one lane out >> and give those people. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, >> they might may have. That's a county road that they moved. So, whatever, >> whatever they do, >> guys have to go to the clips to get.
>> Yeah. Whatever they do, they have to put the money aside to do it and then the county has to which they might because they did it um the rest of the way down. you know, when you get towards Primo Bas
and and then they did it again towards the other end of the island. So, they're making their way that way. Uh, and then it only becomes two lanes when you get to the traffic light. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it, but it might go back to the flow thing and the the
speed limit stuff. I mean people contract one person. >> Yeah. Yeah. I was there. >> I was there. >> It was horrific. >> So you think I should bring that up to the cops or >> I mean you can see what they say about
uh bring >> I mean look it's on record, right? So now if somebody gets killed there, they're going to come after you. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Yeah. They're come and so you didn't do anything about >> Yeah. they could they could give uh
their you know their answers on the county and how to go through the county to make it and he might uh he's talked about it's called road diet he's talked the mayor's talked about it before where uh you know because people complained when it was going down the world you
know you always have both sides so people were iate that was going down the one lane and and he had to speak about it so he you know he talked about how it's a county thing the counties is in favor of this road diet and and it's going to happen with the length of time.
People now we all live with it. Everyone learned to live with it. >> Well, it it hasn't been as bad as everyone thought. >> I asked him, the mayor, I said, you know, I live in the Morgans and live across the pool and there's a pool and mailboxes. I said, "And people come down
the street pretty fast to go get their mail. 25 miles an hour. It's too fast. Can we drop the speed limit to 15 on that street?" He said, "No, we can't do that." Yeah. >> Why can't you do that? >> Uh you talking about the access road? >> No. My the road that runs in front of my house. Here's the pool. Here's the mail.
I live over here. >> You had you got the kids crossing the street, people crossing the street to go to the pool. You got people coming to get their meal. >> They're going fast, but they're doing the speed. >> 25. >> Yeah. Well, the 2025s, I believe, what
he's probably talking about is uh that's just the standard highway traffic safety. >> So, why couldn't they put a 15? >> If it's if it's a private condo complex, they could. >> So, who owns the road? B or >> if it's Well, if it's an actual road,
like a city road, it's always going to be 25. Like, that's just >> I think that's pretty much set. >> That's what he told me. >> It's pretty much set. >> How about a speed bump? >> Speed bumps are illegal, man. Yeah, >> they got rid of speed bumps. Speed bumps
work. >> You know what they do in Mexico? They they have a big >> It's the same the big rope line to tie up ships. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I want to get one of them. >> It's the same as everywhere. You know, you had speed bumps and then the first person that sued because of damage to
their car, they were all like, "You know what? Let's get rid of these speed bumps." It actually worked. >> I put the telephone poles down the street to the beach. I think I'm just barking up. I'm just >> If you're here, it's it's worth just
asking if there's any plans on the road all the way out the island. >> He might he might tell you they already looked into it and the county is not interested. >> That's what he told me. in the back road.
>> Anyway, good rest of your summer. >> Yeah, that's good. >> Then you enjoy the fall, right? They got someone. We're doing a task force of all the towns joining forces
girls. I said my first DWI 79 coming out and uh you I got in the morning in the morning. >> The bridge time.
They've been taking forever. I got the prices and everything. >> That's ridiculous. Been asking for years. We're getting >> ready to put them right.
Can he scrap >> the ones I have? >> You put them right where a normal speed limit sign is. >> So you don't have to worry about it's on its own >> the square. a price for three grand for the unit without
>> it. Oh, it does. >> Is that horrible? Maybe they're more these are the ones they solder. Yeah, I get a poll separately and uh you know hit your speed and then it would say slow down at the bottom if you're going too fast. And then if
you're within the speed limit says thank you. >> Get your attention. Yeah, >> I've seen even if you're not reminding the bridge and uh and I think it told your speed, right? One of your big
signs. Yes. >> I just put it back >> in front of just him up and I was like, >> we had national on that go back out there. Put the speed radar back up because it works great.
>> It does. I see people say >> that's an open >> You know what he did? He put it he put it in my >> So it's like it's my >> So now I got to buy all this stuff with
my own bot >> or I can buy other stuff. But you know what I mean? Like >> Yeah. They sit there for like two minutes. >> Like when I was out there, you don't have to wait long, but even if you give it time, you're going to get that

job. Very excited to head for just wanted to thank Thanks, Chief Media. We appreciate you and really appreciate
our and last night's national night out. Absolutely amazing job putting it together, but all the city departments did a great job posting it. Fire department job and um I think probably most vendors
we've ever had at the event probably crowds. So outstanding job was absolutely fabulous. Thank you to all the departments participated get off the ground and to
they did a great job organizing from the green team September 20th is now 300 tickets. Another thing from the green team is they're they're going to start a tree
inventory project. Uh if you like to participate for for your neighborhood, they're going to be going through neighborhoods and counting trees, documenting trees on public public
property. Uh if you're interested in volunteering to help, it'll take maybe an hour just to do your own neighborhood, uh either contact the Brigantine Green Team at gmail.com or stop by the green tea tent at the
farmers market on Saturday. They will have packets for you and it's going to be a great um addition to our city's tree inventory. John, do you have anything more you can say on that? Great. That's awesome.
Again, I can't wait to play. Saturday night is the boat parade back. Be careful if you're driving around near the bay. And uh on Monday, August 25th at 6 PM, the municipal alliance is sponsoring a
Narcan presentation and training prevention to prevent substance abuse. And at that session, you will also receive a free market kit. So it it's always you you always say no no ne never
my family, never my realm of friends. You never know. You never know. So, it's always good to have one. That's it. Thank you. The line never got small. So yeah, just like to did those remarks. As Paul just said, thank
uh congrats again to the uh Brrigentine 12U championship baseball team. Great to see the kids uh celebrate the championship. They're like memories they'll have for a lifetime. That sounds kind of funny like 12 under you know but
us ourselves you go back and think some some of the things like when you're in your youth the things that you remember and uh they're like they leave a positive indelible mark. It's really great bonding experience with your friends coaches
just makes you want to play. So congrats and other than that just want to wish everybody a uh safe and a good summer. I hope we finish up with some good weather and take care. Thank you. >> And uh Dennis, you uh you and Mark have a board meeting on the 14th, right?
>> That's correct. Record. >> The board meeting you have your third and fourth board meeting coming. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. >> Yeah. It's on the 14th. Was it 75? >> A week from tomorrow. >> Yeah. A week from tomorrow will be uh it's advertised in the paper. Will be a third and fourth board meeting. U
some uh dessert snacks and over range of topics and handling any questions has uh free to come out. Love to see. Thank you. >> Don't worry, mayor. I was going to pick up for his thunder. I apologize.
>> It's it's been a great summer before for uh the co Jenny. a busy summer uh for the lifeguards for for John's team that is uh the thousands of people that go out there every weekend and unfortunately a lot of times the mess
that they leave and fire have had several rescues and incidents and I was there one day for a capsized boat. So it's been a it's been a busy summer. uh work meeting next Thursday the 14th.
See you Friday morning hopefully at mini golf 11 a.m. Great turn. >> But yeah, what a great turnout that was. Everybody had a great time. Thanks again. Triathlon relative
between fire department. It's not easy to especially My understanding And chief, I'm glad you brought that up. in mind to um how much is donated by a lot of our vendors like Mad Dogs, Jersey Cow, I know Starbucks is out there. When
you go to some of the other National Night Out events that are across the county, people charge for all that stuff. One of the things I think that is really great about ours is that everything that is there is free. It's really community based. It's people giving back and there was a lot of
comments from people who were there really appreciate like it really made it for a nice night. Chief, again, thank you. And um you know, I know uh Mad Dog Morgans, their family has done so much city. We really appreciate all they've
done for you, decades. Decades. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I think um another big thing too uh rip currents uh right now with these northeast winds uh what's happening with the ocean a lot of dangerous out there
please swim by lifeguard there's been a lot of rescue I can tell you, you know, being out surfing, waves are so rough. It is very dangerous out there. So, let your lifeguards be safe and keep an eye on your children, children, and grandchildren. The other big thing is,
uh, ebikes. Uh, it's been a lot families that have come in and talk to the city about trying to have more enforcement when it comes to ebikes, e scooters. I know police have started to step up uh their enforcement. And also we've uh talked with our state representatives um senator Paulina and assembly
representatives guardian and swift are working on state legislation uh now so this way there's uniform enforcement across the state because right now you have a there's not a lot of regulations on ebikes and I think one of the issues I have is you know some of these ebikes do about 40 miles an hour. So you take
an unlicensed 12-y old kid on a bike that's still important. They have to do something in. We've seen a lot of tragedies in a number of something just happened out. You know, Gillian Ocean City just had a
heel on this rans something that's got to be reigned in. I'm very proud that our state representatives are working on the state level to give our local the tools they need to start to rain this in. We don't want to see a tragedy happen here. I think sometimes too it's
hard for parents and grandparents. When your kids' friends have all these really fast ebikes, you feel bad telling them no. And I know I'm the same boat now. My daughters are both mad at you because they have these scooters that do about 10 miles an hour and they can't keep up with their friends. I said 10 miles an
hour is fast enough catching out there without a helmet. All right. This time we're going to open up for public comment. Anybody wishing to be heard, please come up and state your name and address for the record. >> All right. Um, hear you at home. Frank Sajorski. I live at the 64 Sailfish
Drive and the Morings. I may be the speaker, but I'm a spokesperson for everybody who's still here. We have a problem. And we brought this problem to Mark and Mark said, "Bring it here." We had a problem with our
homeowners association and our management company. We've discovered a lot of overspending. Goes back to July of 2021 when Denise went to the association and said, "I want to see the records." And they said,
"No." Um, Vince had uh who is a contractor also chimed in and said, we're spending way way way too much. And um he got us a interview with a lawyer for
another association who stood up for us who wrote a letter to our association which opened up the door for Denise and I to go in and see the data. So now we now we saw it and and we confirmed that overspending and the problem was we were
overspending with couple of gentlemen who were our officers at the time. Uh Vince put the pressure on them because he knew how much you should spend for sprinklers and and and everything else. And the numbers
started coming down. Those two gentlemen are gone. He put so much pressure on them that they sold their units and and they never lived in them. They were rent. So they moved out.
The lawyer that we went to, let's call him Eric one. And please remember that our next overspending discovery, we found out that what they normally do
is going to hire you to cut the trees. You don't cut trees. You hire company B to cut the trees. And we ended up paying you. Now, do you think every dollar went to the tree company? We asked the tree company. It did not. So where is that
money between the 20,000 that was spent and the 12,000 that the tree company got. So hiring company A, we're going to pay company B. And by the way, we have pictures and piles of records of what companies were doing the work. And um
Vince even called the I don't really want to name names, but Vince even called the the main company and said, "Do you do this work?" And they said, "No." "Do you do plastering? Do you do flooring?" "No." So we we have pictures
of who they actually brought in to do the work. Now, are you going to tell me that they took every dollar and and spent it? Well, wait. Let me look around. No, nobody's stupid. Okay. Uh,
finally, finally, here's the latest insult. They took our number of meetings from six from 10 a year down to five. At the meetings, which are dialup meetings, they don't allow us to speak.
We can listen in as we just did to all of you and go, they won't let us talk. They cut us off from speaking at the meetings because what we were doing was challenging them. One, number one, spending money with officers, number
two, spending company A who hires company B. So that was insult number one. Uh oh, and by the way, there were a number of cease and desist letters and and and liable and slander letters coming to us all these years from 2001
until now. and they continued because the final incident last time we were led in Denise and I again um I don't have the date but it was a two two about year and a half ago we went in
and and we went to look at some more late data that they allowed us to see our president who go let us know what you found Okay, we run into each other a lot. We didn't want to
save street. Uh we meet at the pool all the time. So we said to him, we'd like to show you what we found. We got a harassment letter for that comment and that comment alone. But we got a harassment letter from our new lawyer. That would be Eric one, the same
guy we went to five years ago who represented us and and sent a letter in that allowed us to see all the data. And that letter says, uh, you know, stop it. Cease and desist. We're going to accuse you of harassment. And oh, by the way, I'm the new lawyer for the homeowners
association. I need the drummer for this. Uh, we need help, guys. This Saturday, the 16th, next Saturday, the 16th, is our annual meeting. When we get together, the annual meetings turn into shouting matches. They turn into
screaming matches. We'd like some help. We believe that there's voter fraud. They told us that our election is cut and dried. It can't be rigged.
I'm an honest man. I know how to do it. Okay. We we need help to make sure that this election is not the ballots the ballots are not stuffed by the management company. That's what they do. Only 15% of us live
there. All right. So when they send out ballots, they send out 155 ballots to 155 homes. 13% of us live in the warnings full time. The other 87%, oh yeah, sure. I'll vote for the guy
who's been in. We can't get in and we believe that there's stuff in the ballots. Uh the ballots were due today. Okay. The ballots go to the to the management company. You didn't send them a ballot. you didn't send it a ballot and you didn't
send it a ballot. We'll put ballots in for you. We need help next Saturday to make sure that doesn't happen again and somehow to come up with a resolution that allows us to speak at our own.
Well, this has been I hate to be I hate to be a you know bummer after such a great meeting, but uh thank you very much. >> Let me ask I'm gonna ask our attorney too. What what can the city do to help? You actually can't do it.
They are a private entity. >> They'll hire him like they did to our last one. >> That's dirty. >> Somewhere in those bylaws, there should be the right to speak at those meetings. It's 155 pages and I tore through them
in the last three days and there's no mention of that we're not allowed but there's no mention of that we are as well but we have been now we've been we've been owners for 20 years we have been except for the last year when
they're using this way to mute us >> what was that you said was that like your bylaws you were referring to that you >> yeah They're online. You can go online and if you're if you're a a homeowner, you you go into the homeowner section
and here comes the 125 pages of so there's any at large council. It's 9:30 next Saturday at the Sounds like I'll come Saturday, next Saturday
to document what's going on. >> Got to state your name and address this record. >> Excuse me. your name and address. >> Oh, Vince Passa uh one uh 162 uh Albakore late uh comes big screaming
match because I state the obvious. I'm a contractor and I did all this stuff. I was a property manager in Pennsylvania and I used to be on the board of the Mayberry and I the guy that he charges is our former vice president charging $25,000 for sprinkler systems and I
state this the obvious. We have 155 town houses across the street is managed by the same property manager. There's 255 units of King's Cove. It's double the size of our campus. I've seen their budget from a friend. They haven't spent
over $5,000. Our former vice president, we have records of them since 2013 charging 257. I start making noise. He drops us to 11. And then there's 7,000 miscellaneous uh missing from the the pool account and
there's no receipts. Now, if anybody lives at the Bayberry and wants to see how much I change light bulbs and fixtures, you're allowed to see it. This guy, the first thing you call Dennis Thompson and say, "Hey, we'd like to see the records." I'm on vacation. I ride by his office. He's not on vacation. He doesn't call you back. He puts an
appointment. It takes six weeks. So, I get my crew and we call the property managers that I work for. Says, "Can you see the office?" They say yes, come down here before five o'clock because I'm leaving. And he charges across the street. Hasn't paid over five grand yet. Then we need the trees come down
trimmed. So they give the check to the landscaper. And why are you paying the landscaper? I brought in a guy from Broom, Pennsylvania to do the driveways at the Bayberry. He's seen the association. They accepted his price 60,000. They did not give me the $60,000
check because I'm VP McKenna. They gave it to the contractor. Why are we paying? I ask all these questions to them and they have no answers for me. All they have is this woman screaming that I'm a liar. I'm a liar. I'm a liar. And it starts a big to-do. So we need like they won't listen to me. So now we corner the
guys and they hide from us. There's a lot of money missing here and it's not accounted for. And if I have to pay out of my own pocket for this lawyer. So we went to this lawyer as a courtesy to me to work for these guys. He says he told us flat out what's happening. He didn't say one good word about this property
manager. Now, this property's manager tell us, "Stop bothering them. You're harassing them and you're gonna pay all my lawyer fees." So, that's why we came to you. Appreciate all the help you can guys. >> Sounds like they're playing the game. >> Yeah. >> And back and forth. But again, you got
to get a lawyer. That lawyer has his own investigator financial action. Well, at one time I thought maybe you could help us on this. One time uh over in Florida, they got a hold of this district attorney and he investigated and locked everybody up for doing
something like that. So, I don't know if we have an uh we went to the the the place at Jersey that handles this. They sent the we sent the letter to everybody tell them what they're doing and the lawyer gave us a letter and said, "We're suing you for slander. This is not true." But we have it all written down
on what they charge of this. So, the district attorney, this place in Florida, he got involved in this. Anybody? >> No. But you might be able to bounce it off them and they might be able to steer you in the right direction. If not, maybe start.
>> Who's that organization you want us to go to again? >> Start local. Uh, Better Business Bureau. We were told to go to them and better speak. your presence would be uh very helpful.
So this way I can speak and like I'm a guy who's a straight shooter. If you're doing something, I ask a question, right or wrong, I tell you straight up. And I expect that from everybody and Mark knows me very well. You ask me a question, I give you an answer. And so I appreciate if all you guys, whoever
could be there, greatly appreciate it. Maybe we won't have >> Yes. So you you're saying also that you sent letters out like everyone's in canvas residence owners. Is that what I heard from you? You said letters went out to all the I'm assuming was that all the residents and homeowners
five years ago we sent this for the vote. >> No to to kick them off the board. We called this agency from Jersey that handles these affairs and they told us that we had to write all the facts, send it to everybody. We needed 68 votes out of 155 to impeach these two members off
the board. And the people are scared and they live next to these people and they won't do anything. And so they said they're going to sue us. >> Yeah, that's Sorry. Go ahead. >> So then we show we I would tell everybody here's we got it. Tell them sue me. Bring me to court and they won't do it. They just keep threatening us and
they're spending a lot of our finances on these lawyers to tell us to shut up. >> So you did do your due diligence in canvas. and we're we're all we're we've been on this fight forever and you know whatever and they just don't show us any facts
and figures or anything. Don't ask no questions. Leave us alone. >> So I don't give legal advice. That's correct. But actually if I could >> you withhold your monthly fees. So I would say
>> no that's what I'm >> saying you cannot give them >> okay we do not have jurisdiction over their body that we are not I want to go to our attorney and say
what is the best place or best avenue for them attorney because they had talked about um I guess in Florida they went to prosecutor's office there attorney but I don't know how that would work in the state of New Jersey. >> Yeah. I'm there could be an intake with
with police department, but realistically is the county prosecutor's office some kind of financial. So maybe their best option might be to start with prosecutor's office because I would imagine chief that you would refer them to the prosecutor's office. I just
want to help save people time because that was my thought too. So, I don't know if it's exactly our version of the district attorney, but uh the prosecutor's office might be if you believe that there's some type of fraud or crime that's happening. The prosecutor's office would probably be
the best. Law enforcement you start with because they might have the resources and tools to to look into that, but it's not something that we have jurisdiction on, but they may have more jurisdiction to see our chief comment.
First First Where? that totally property. Start that they have attorneys represent them. So that they are
>> so independent counsel might be so what I'm kind of hearing is you guys might need to hire independent counsel to represent you because you don't want to end up in a situation where although you believe you're acting in right in your best interest that you actually expose
yourself to liability. This is why we have multiple attorneys with the city, but also it may be worth having a conversation with prosecutor's office to see if there's some type of criminal investigation if it's warranted, right? >> And that's tools and resources that are there. But at the end of the day, you
also want to make sure that you also protect yourselves, aren't open yourselves up to liability defamation because those lawsuits become very as well. Got it. So, I might try those two options. That's what our council members did to try to listen here. But also, and
I know this too, but what our attorney said is when it comes to associations, we dealt with this before, we don't have jurisdiction over associations and bylaws that are there, but we are here to listen. Council
members, we can't direct home associations. our but that's something prosecutor's office might be able to help with having represents your best interests. >> I appreciate your presence at our
meeting. Thank you very 44 Street to the state of New Jersey because they have There's a New Jersey condominium act and it list the number and it's over it's overseen by the New Jersey department
you have contact that's actually very helpful too like DCA as well. So, thank you. No other public coma 337 9 Street South. Um, I've sent a couple emails to
city council around traffic patterns on 9inth Street South, which is it's the only two-way street between 8th and 13th. Uh Tiger was super responsive and his recommendation was for me to come to city council and just voice some
concerns. Uh wanted to see if we could get a traffic study commissioned just just comparing our block to other blocks in the neighborhood on the 300 block in terms of cars coming through the street. I think if we have some data where we
can make data driven decision on the amount of traffic that comes on our block versus others I think that the city will see that you know this is a street that gets an important amount of traffic and we're just concerned with kids and grandkids on the street. I've
discussed it with my neighbors and they've asked me to to raise it tonight with city council. So I would respectfully ask that that city would consider it. >> Yeah. I guess one of the things I'd like to ask is you can hear there's a lot of traffic on that street. I think everybody down makes the turn on
tonight. I guess what is the resolution you're looking So we do the traffic study say they confirm you guys have a lot of traffic. What is it that you're looking I would ask if we could potentially consider making it ninth street a oneway street and I know it it looks like there's a little bit like
it's been a hodgepodge of streets. One eighth is one way is the other way. But anything the city could consider to to lessen the traffic impact on our block super app. So to try to reduce the traffic there. Thank you. Y
got anything to say tonight? I blame John. All right. This time we're going to uh close the public portion. Uh any final council comments? Seeing none, can we have a motion and second to adjourn the meeting? >> Motion.
>> All in favor? >> I All right. Uh, any opposed? Seeing none. Motion pass. Thank you for coming out, watching your council see the work. Thank you.
