try to do that for us. Everyone wants to back him up for us. So, I just want to make what I've been saying is as far as regarding backing them up is just I have no reason to believe otherwise. I mean, if any of you guys are in the same boat, I'd be the same way until I have other
reason. So, so you have no doubt. I didn't say have no doubt. Can you put words in my mouth? All right. I did send him a couple options. This is the original copy of mine. Okay. Copy Robinson's all veterans that push
on the beach. This is what you need. This is like a library whatever they need through veteran service. I have 10 copies of these two and thank you for your
month now. Nobody has any progress what we're going to do here. Well, this is an indication that at least he's trying. I sent him uh I sent him a couple links as regarding u maybe the VA and whatever. Uh maybe the organization you mentioned just the veterans administration. Oh,
the National Archives. Okay. I actually sent a link. That's what she said. I sent him a link to that as well. And we did at least and I sent him this one for DD214 direct. I saw that some veterans used um and they have a B rating by veteran business viewers. So
they're legit and it says receipt for $129 that he's filed for a copy of this. It's very brief. uh receipt from db214direct.com by veterans access LLC receive number blah blah blah under $29 payment on June
19th 2025 discharge document 488094 James I'm just wonderill I know that much and he was caretaker. He was a primary caretaker was over 100 years old. Jimmy,
I'd like to just say you said there's been no progress. The the city is not going out uh on a witch hunt trying to find out whether he's been as veteran myself has multiple copies of my 214. He has turned in the same exact document
that you have turned. His is older than yours. This is is very old. The municipality's position is until it was proven differently, he is going to be treated as a veteran because he submitted the documentation that's required of him to get a vertical
license to sell screen. We are not spending time and energy going around and searching through the archives and doing all that to prove it. That if that's something you want to do, that's fine. For what we have, he's being treated better. If it's proven
differently, we will act on that. Act on that. But at this time that treat okay I'm just wondering why has something to do with us I know it could be a thing that you guys wanted
that's why I brought up so I was just said why don't you just call them up tell them to fill it out on this website and get back to us in my conversation to him I did say as much uh Um, and 100%
what what Tiger just said. I mean, until we know otherwise, we're not going to know which on. And I said, you know, it's kind of I'll just say innuendo. Let's put it mildly. I mean, some of the things that are coming on. So, I'm like, hey, if that was any of us, I think in
this room pretty much maybe every single one of us would act and do something to prove our honor, so to speak. So, okay. And on the application that we have to fill out veterans, okay, it says, "Are you a veteran?" Now, that's for background
check for all kinds of there's no background check for a veteran because we're all getting our license. The background check is provide proof which you provided a county card. The current policy and I'll specify the current policy is that that is
sufficient. Whether that changes in the future, that's that'll be up to the council to make that decision. But the current procedure for him to get his license, he filed the proper documents and was given the license. If that policy or that procedure changes in the
future, then that will be addressed at that time. Okay? So now he's got what he needs to be on the instruction. So only the veterans have to fill out an application for a background check that serves anything on this beach. So it's
just the veterans and nobody else has to fill out the application detail by fingerprints. Megan's law and background check. Is that correct? Right now you guys are the only ones selling on the beach selling on the beach. Did he fill out an
application? Yeah, he filmed qualification. However, the ordinance that you're speaking of is being voted on tonight, that dramatically changes the ice cream truck operations. If council approves that, 20 days after
it's advertised, it takes effect. But right now, he's following all the rules. Okay? That's why we're here voting on it. They're voting on ordinance. All right. Now, you said you follow all the rules. All right. First of all, it was on 14th Street. on the uh on the bulkhead. In the
ordinance, it says he has to be 150 ft away. So that's up near the street and he's ringing a horny horn thing on the thing. Um all seen him heard the music the horn.
It was like a horn thing. Yeah. Which is not only supposed to bring about three times. He was also spotted on 16th Street up the balcony on the disabled parking lot and he was sitting there.
Okay. He was also spotted. So I mean it's going to follow the rules those those uh things you just described are being addressed. Okay. They they were being addressed today by my code enforcement. All right. So Vince, you weren't you
weren't here last game, but we had a meeting in Congress and me, Mike, Jeff, and the veterans were in there. We stated that we were agreeable with H Street all the way from Sewing about
three times. So we get it. Um, first of all, you might remember I was here last year a couple times talking about this from our screen who's over here
and we started this ordinance in our game actually in October two years ago 2023. Right now, you will be joining 13 other municipalities that have this ordinance and three other municipalities that have
it as a resolution. Um, and I am I do see that you made your resolution. I am curious why you would go the next route. So am I ask question after speaking with team and
construction. So it's just kind of start right now. I just don't think the city's ready for it. We want to educate people, bring them out to make this and then have good logic because that's exactly what
market did actually. We started out as a resolution and we found you know once there was awareness that's really what it takes is the awareness military once I
see all the sites all over. So yeah, education is definitely very important. I wanted to talk to you about some of that. Um, which was my next point. I said awareness is the most important part of it. Um, so
once we started this, we have a coalition of multiple organizations now spreading this work. We have clean ocean action. We have sustainable Jersey. We have beyond plastics. We have surf rider foundation and we have um
um safe water bay which is responsible for water. We are we've been on conference calls a couple times a month and you talk about spreading work. So with the awareness um we put together a website with a lot of resources and we put together these
trial buyers which I'm hand So we actually our team can help us with some of the information that you give us. Oh, okay. Great. Well, what I wanted to say is there's um there's a link to a
website and on this website are all kinds of resources like we put together in English and Spanish that you can hand out. We also have an educational video that's 9 minutes long. I mean doesn't sound long. Oh my god, I got to watch a video for 90
minutes, but it's really educational. Um, so I wanted to just ask you about so where is this important? Check the website often resources and then how are you proposing to enforce it? Like who's
going to force it? Is there a phone number? Like what did you determine? I think right now it's going to be best practices in construction office. Um, they have every permit that goes out
and then really all Yeah, that's pretty much how we do it except for our office hours like the police department does get involved. So, I would just say anybody who's doing enforcement should watch that video so that way you can speak well and that
they also have the English Spanish flyers. And one of the things market does is whenever someone gets a permit, a permit for a job, they send out an email with a link to the website resources and um so that the GC knows that they're
responsible to spread the word. So, and just a quick thing on on um enforcement. We surveyed our builders building department survey our builders and we were very pleased to see most
builders said this is not a big deal. Of course, it was, you know, you have YouTubers, right? You have builders, you have ones that aren't as close to them. We're like, this is not a big deal. And just in general, the equipment it takes
to contain the stuff is a hood over your saw or a wet saw your sawing favors a car and a vacuum attachment and the materials cost less than $500. I think once contractors start doing
this become second nature. So, and I just have one other comment. It's real quick. The title of your resolution is um it ends with work sites for contractors and residents with microplastic particles but the actual
important resolution we have and the intent is to cover all kinds of construction contamination. So maybe about possibly adjust the title about responsible construction. [Music]
Uh I'm the one actually started sending this when I'm writing back down. I saw a lot of construction work going on and they stopped this morning contractor working because they're cutting out and as you know exact
and as it cuts down creates these micro this they're cutting. So I I have 35 years of construction experience on negotiation. Um I asked contractors I said look you
guys are just cutting this stuff. Um there are vacuums and responsible contractors use them. These people were not and others are not. And there's a lot of construction going on just as much as you have a lot of
construction going. It's hard to you know manage it but it is something that needs to be done particularly concerning physical classes and now that we've been fighting classes for a long time we now have tests in society we have plans we
have it in our uh lung we have it in our kidneys it's in breast it's babies it's everywhere we just cannot get away with this this is is what it contain. We all we are asking is for the contractor to
take responsibility and to make sure that this stuff is not going into as I watched it as I watched the particles come out of the salt and I watch the soil and I watch and then I watch get down
and then into the I noticed all these parts were still I was wonder about six years ago and then I realized when I saw the construction types. So I think it was a very very responsible thing that we as a
society needs to do and it's not just a but that should be not only but it really should be worldwide because it it's something that is preventable. Well, it's going to get
into the ground, but this is something that raise awareness about what these construction workers work on. My concern years working with lead and working with others
and uh that the data sheets uh come with the products, but we did a lot of research on this. We try to see what tracks what some of these other products and there's absolutely no education on this. So I think this is a really good thing that
we are going through the education phase. We started that. So it's already going on um it's already going through the contractors that becoming aware of this. Sherry and I had just met with an
assembly uh assembly woman's bill to to seek out the state as you know getting a statew and in politics I can't say that right but this is something that we
should all be because it's your And as Sher mentioned, it's not just about plastics. It's about fiber. You walk down the street and get this fiber and it's going into your lungs. It's
going into your flowers. It's going if you have a garden and eating out of it. Can you imagine with your tomatoes? That's what's happening. And this is what we need to do. So um with every city we have been going to
every city to try to get as many cities to show the state that yeah this is a doable thing and this is important and hopefully we'll get more movement on that I ask
hopefully soon we'll get some Thank you. Thank you very much. Um questions [Music] but plastic control

Thank you. um get worse, but I was contact and Josh services request. Thank you, Mayor.
Uh June 14th was flag day uh celebrated and honored at at our elves showing from our city council or mayor spoke quite eloquently. June 14, 1777 marked the establishment
of our country's first official flag with the 13 stars and 13 red white stripes. But it's very interesting just seeing the progression of all flags, the common army and everything else is it's a pretty cool It's it's a beautiful event. It's really cool. It's great for
people all ages something to attend as much as appreciate that country. Uh great recreation board meeting was this past Wednesday. John, thanks for the update. It was discussed a little bit.
Just give a little update about what some of the stuff arrived today, right? So, they were trying to get July 4th, but unfortunately, but hopefully they hit that up and that pretty soon. Uh, a lot of good stuff going on. Uh, as far as the recreation
board goes, you just Google it up. They have their own separate page if anybody's interested in uh, summer programs or things for the kids. There's 53 classes in total for this summer. 27 or full already, but uh, give a call or
go online if you have any questions. Um, plenty of things right there. And uh I don't expect anybody to see this real well, but they will be having their own logo. It's pretty cool. It's just the sunrise, a circular logo with the sun rising and the ocean below with the
scallop and bring a team bridge right across with the community. So it look good when they get it done. It'll be nice. Let's see. July 12th will be Johnny Day. uh a really good young man uh near and dear
to my heart and all of us in Rams football, Holy Spirit. Oh my goodness. I mean the list goes on and on. Um he played in the men's league, you know, we all played together, had a great time, just a just a great human being,
guy with a heart of gold. Always easy goinging, fun to talk to. He loved hockey and football. He was a heck of a player, too. Donnie could uh he could move that ball up the court. He always had his eyes open for a pass. Very unselfish individual and he had a tough
battle against cancer but uh unfortunately quite quickly but July 12th we will be honoring him at uh down at the Rickine Hockey League on the little access parking lot there between the Ramsfield and hockey courts. And so
if you got some time there'll be a food truck there. Um spend some time on that. young guy 37. Please feel free. So, let's see got here. All right. Well, that's about it. I guess we got our uh we got a Fourth of
July coming up. I'll just close on that. And uh 249 years went from uh as far as this year celebration goes. So, next year be be a big one. 450 years worth celebrating our country's uh the birth of our country.
I'm getting older quicker than I realize. I remember when the when they had the bison when I was a little kid, it was actually uh birthplace of our nation up country back in 1976. So everybody had a
great upcoming holiday as well. Thank you. I've done that too long. [Music] That is confirmed. Uh we do have a meeting with OEM department heads on Monday
morning. Um so they can work on the snack plan. So we'll have a plan in place for not only that evening but we're also discussing.
So we are aware [Music] band updates. Put it on the social media today. But the air conditioning unit at the community center that is above the main gym has failed. We had a contract
yesterday morning again today trying to fix it up. I think there's 11 units that service the community center. That unit needs to be replaced. The other ones need to be replaced as well. We have units
to come in. We can't get that up in city manager temporary schools down. So if there's something outdoors need
exercise more information on social media forward uh time but a lot of people had seen the uh development getting point first
approvals for that back 2009 time um sat dormant for decades. All of a sudden we heard that that was moved back forward. So we actually had our attorney reach out to the developers attorney and request that they go back and forth plan
for building. We wanted to make sure that when they built construction that they weren't building the 2009 regulations a lot of things that changed with both the state and the city developers that came back in. There's a number of people who reached out and
said that the city should not let those people develop that plan. Our attorneys refute it. There is no legal reason to not allow them to develop it. They're building forming lots. They're not asking for any variances developable
land. So we believe there are some currents. Uh we also made sure they went back to the state capital and DP approvals. to receive all their state approvals. So that's why you see the construction that's moving forward. Then
the left across the street from that at the base of the bridge um that is moving forward as well too. That little piece of land there is actually not Atlantic City. Atlantic City gave them approval to build
one of the responsibilities have towards that is water city is handling everything else police fire uh schools everything else that is not I know there may
at some point in time had no interest in selling that to us so it is there obviously engagement to see police and fire responding at risk. But it's very clear in city's
resolution that is not our problem. It's theirs and they're responsible for everything except water. Um they anticipate having their state approvals within the next couple months. Once they have their state approvals, you'll see construction start to move
forward out there as well. So, we'll keep people posted on that station called the resolution tonight for demolition. Um, we've worked for years now with the owners of that station to try to clean that property up
and maintain it. Um, it is very clear to the city that the owners have no intention of maintaining that property. They do not live in the state of New Jersey. I believe the company is registered in Las Vegas. Most of the owners of that company live in Las Vegas
and California. Um, we serve them to court the canopy over the pups safety issue. The station sign fell down one day. We went out and inspected. We found that the canopy itself is in danger as
well. We went to court. judge gave the city the ability to go in debs. So we put the resolution on that slide. They had to do some engineering work because we have to take down so
continue to operate. Um we'll put in some property for any cost that the city taxpayers let that money on the back end what it means. There is an additional dial on the property to date any
expenses we put out there. [Music] Uh so we'll keep people posted on that machine that way. So we're gonna start taking action try to clean it up. Couple people that's
going to see us just propose take property then under no circumstance the city take possession of property because the taxpayers will be required to pay foration. Uh we're not sure if there's issues with
the tanks that are there. There are some issues that the DP with the property and they have given the owner I don't remember the exact five or eight years. So, we're going to take action to try to
clean that property up, keep safe, taking on the property. So, we'll keep everybody posted on that. Uh, next big project we're looking at is uh at the community center, the world recreational facilities. hear a couple talk about
that tonight, especially basketball, but we're looking at a um a redesign rehab of almost everything out there. courts, the tennis courts, basketball courts, the hockey courts offs, but um we've done a number of repairs
over the years to keep that area safe and playable, but it's getting to the point with all those recreation facilities out there that it's just it needs to be done. So, we're going to be starting to work on that. The first step of that is to work with recreational
information or planner to start to come up with what that is going to look like and how we need to lay everything down with the design. Uh so we'll be uh looking into that is putting together the funding for that. We want to make sure that we have the funding to cover
that. in May based on the recommendations of the engineer the recreational engineer planner do it in phases so this way we can make we don't know what that's going to look like get that started so that process
now we share information with that I know one of the big concerns with some of the homeowners behind it is the golf course sound one of the recommendations that council that recreation area the homeowners behind it try to get that sound. So
we're in the very early stages that we want to make sure that we let people know on it and provide that area. At this time we open up public comment questions you please come up state. Good evening. My name is Billy. My
address is 506 happy place. Um here we have a couple of our neighbors. Um I reached out to Mr. Lary. Um I spoke to Ryan in the in the office
Jack from the fire department. I talked to those officials. I talked to Orlando County Health Department. There was ground pool being built at 440 Hacking Street and it's been going on since the week after Labor Day and
there's a constant pumping of water that I sent you the pictures. and it's stagnant, nasty, dirty work. And you know, I certainly understand construction, I understand, I understand,
but then I went inside and the pool before. Um, so Jack was a truckload of money in I don't um but again, there's no word on it
today. the the contract with New Jersey premier landscaping and pool. I spoke to that owner and it's pretty much said what do you want me to do? the code enforcement tells me I have to call what the code enforcement and the code enforcement officer and I want to be
very clear Brian Hurst Jack your the whole code enforcement uh team that I I talked to very much your public works department is they've come out requested street couldn't be nicer people but at the end of the day nicer doesn't get
problems so um I talked to the He said basically they can this is the words they can do it forever as long as every six months they get job inspected. So I said if they fail the inspection
well then we'll do another inspection then we'll do I understand that construction and the development of the island walls are home catch up. I get that. I I truly do. But we can't enjoy
outside of our house because of mosquitoes and everything else. And I I was I asked a question both to the code enforcement officer and to the Atlanta County Health Department. If I lost a tire on the side of my house that was
gathering work and you had mosquitoes, would you sue me? Absolutely. Yet, if you saw the pictures, it's just it's months. The the city had to send a salt truck in the middle of
winter. The only time it was covered with ice and it's not a problem. Now, originally was just pumping at one point. I don't know why they had a hose and the nearest truck back into the train that stopped. Um then we're
pumping water out into the street. Miraculously, a silk catch at the end of the pipe showed up that went away. Now there's a bag that I'm assuming is catch the bridge going into the swim system
that was expanded for about 6 hours workers working on it. It's the play and the word just goes around. But it's a health. Nobody's holding the contractor account. the the the owner. God knows why you
want to put a 6 foot in ground pool when the water line is 18 in below. But that's, you know, that's something for me to discuss or debate. Also mention, we're asking for some help in resolving the situation. And again, everybody has
been nice, but at what point do we hold the contract to finish it and get it done so people can or pull his license to? Because it's ridiculous. If they were working around the clock and it was
three months, I I truly get that. I do get the instruction I get, but nine months with no end. So if you've been to if you drive by house there's a pile of reborn concrete in the back. I I don't understand I sent emails and
again I have got issues to the resolution Jack he called said he was going to follow up that's the bag so I but I'm sure he's limited from a fire perspective. So I
was wondering if you was familiar. Well, I got I saw your email yesterday. Well, that's a email. I know, but I didn't realize that I was actually because they thought it was for parents and kept
referring it to other people. I actually went out yesterday. I took pictures. Okay. I saw you picture, but I went out see it myself. accident back in the pool off. They had a sprinkler
out there running on top of groundwater. They were right the pool down the pool. Um, it was disgusting. There was a green or something that one of his house
spoke to 6:30 and said, you know, it just goes on and on and we need to pull a list. You pull a permit. You have the ability to do that. You can pull a permit.
That's correct. How do we address this? I know I'm actually I just heard about this first time right now. So I'm glad [Music] I'm also n months
ridiculous amount of time. I do agree but I think it's health and safety issue and public works was down this morning at 7:30 and did it twice and if you go there right now it's rain and I felt I
fell twice walking out my driveway because it's nothing but their property question. I look back in the day I go out there
myself, you know, like let's face it, back in the back in the day I I'm trying to respect the process, but my grandkids came down and said law. So So when does it become from a legal point of view?
Look, I was a corporate construction. I I I know dealing with this township through a construction process. The meticulous nature of you can't do this and you can't do this and you can't do
this from how high from high a wheel. So I'm well aware of the resources at your disposal to influence this situation and ask for help. Your time is
I guess check forever. Yeah. All right. Thanks. some case contain the water on the propert. [Music] This is new for me.
Normally I don't come here and complain about Jeffrey. Uh my issue is electric. Um, I think we see summer after summer, each summer more and more of these lights
and the helmets when it comes to bikes. I'm a pretty liberal parent. I'm guilty of letting my kids I 12 and 13y old let them ride and fight about them, but these electric bikes is a whole other level.
And I don't know, I I know tons of parents who told their kids these bikes. It's only a matter of time before I I get one both of them and I've never heard of anybody give me a ticket for not bring them home. My son's friends out it sometimes find these bikes 30
miles. There's conversion kits that make building fast. The average bicycle with a kid they're going 5 to 15 miles and I don't think there's any statistics that show electric bikes are causing
more accidents with them. is pretty much the same, but the accidents are way more severe do I mean it's like deaths, brain injury, all kinds of and it's and it's not just a matter of bikes now. It's every year there's more and more and
more traffic. So it's when you're riding a bicycle, it's much easier to stop being on a bicycle even going full speed than it is going 20 miles an hour and he went and it's just more and more and more I see these kids fly around.
They're two on speed at a time. No helmet text. I just like I said I normally wouldn't I'm pretty, you know, let my kids live and learn and stuff like that. That's these are looking and I think we should have some sort of
city initiative or something to enforce helmets. I don't think I I guess as far as I know New Jersey has some laws for everyone under 17. I guess obviously it's not it's not probably not reasonable that you could enforce every
kid on bicycle wearing hel but you could just start with electric bikes and focus on them because like I said some sort of initiative send out pamphlets to houses or something make sure your kids wear you know put
some fear in their parents that they're going to get a ticket if their kid is caught up on anybody like I said it's not So it's it's the safety of people too. People walking across the street some you know older people all that have time to stop the kids by 30 miles down.
You know like I said I don't it's only a matter of time we all some of us have younger kids they're all going to have and so next summer you're going to see twice these bikes here after that and then there's going to be no like every kids they're going to start little ones
are going to go 20 miles an hour. So, I just think that if we just started enforcing, you know, it sounds pretty stupid, but I'm saying don't enforce the bicycle, but enforce the but I think you guys understand I'm talking these things, you
know. I think you saw in Delaware County there was two girls. I don't know if the one girl one girl laughs. So, this happened and I know all these kids. I coach here. I have teenagers. I know all these kids and it's a matter of time
before you know something really bad and not mayor unfortunately in here in contact with you know whatever I I
did a career in both I had two very bad accidents that I poked in Kite was on the lake side and yeah I know exactly what you're saying
one child taking the weight of the bike too on yeah and they ebikes you know talking about it still on that probably maybe a year ago or so this summer I guess you
know some this kid or whatever comes We're heading We're getting ready to uh make a right onto Bridgetine onto the AT and this kid's coming the wrong direction and there's like just shoots up just goes around just like cursing
and yelling stuff. Yeah. Yeah. The kids get on their phone. They get on and they feel same when I was. So we do have the bike control too at the start and maybe in conjunction obviously you have to be an
Olympic bike rider keep up with one of them but uh between that and just being able to radio our cars maybe you know they judge yeah you start writing tickets it's only
if I know now like I'm not worried about I see their friends I know and like I said I'm not normally the person come give me a ticket every I'm not a regular person but when it comes to these things it's mostly
teenagers that are not that I don't care about the 20 but it's teenagers for one crazy on they're all trying to make you know and send a message
I will have a conversation police chief is a congress but I will have a conversation with this discussion. This is something they know
mayor so we will bring up down all the time. Yeah. license that's you know we're just more enforcable for all
[Music] we go from you know we write these treated to a lot of people in one little space and these things are hanging all over the place. You know, you can't stop sometimes.
The problem is with all all parts and the scooter version or the scooter version with the seat. Okay. The problem is some of the larger ones I ride up for myself. Okay. The larger ones can go up
40 miles an hour. I saw a young man two meetings ago after I saw the article and he was riding with young girl on the back. No helmets, no lights on. Yeah. Okay. But there was some talk in that
article where they said there was going to try to get some legislation passed vehicles that can go 40 miles an hour for those more heavy duty bikes should have LSD license plate and charts. They're actually classified in the same
classification as mobility. That's how we know the elderly mobilities. They're considered. Thank you. Hello. Good evening. May St. St. Louis 900 lb Avenue B. Good evening council.
I'm also here tonight as concern. My concern is the bikes being on the island specifically by miners. We've all seen how fast some of these bikes go. My concern is not just for the my children. It's for all children. I'm here to ask that the riders are encouraged to at
least wear helmets while riding these bikes. I believe there is law for white riders. To my knowledge, it was not strictly enforced. My goal in speaking tonight is for the helmet law to be enforced, especially for either riders. We can try to make our children wear
helmets, but right now it's not normalized. If children are ticketed or reprimanded, it will help normalize helmet wearing and keep children safer while I assure you that this is a concern of the majority of parents. But instead of
encouraging groups of families to come here and all share variations of the same story, which would be redundant, um I figured that take my word for it that this is a concern all and I'm just
thankful [Music] comments. Seeing none, we have a motion to favor July 15. July 16. [Music]
So great summer.
