praying also remember It's awesome. We're seeing the review tax. All right. I have the pleasure of uh swearing in our newest officer
uh officer Matthew Dugan. Uh Matt will uh is filling the vacancy uh left uh by uh Sergeant Hurst. Sergeant Hurst retired and uh Matt's Matt's coming on board. Um
I nicknamed him last week uh you're now officer Tugan because we already have a Dugan. So it becomes very confusing. So he's now Tugan because he's the second Tugan. Uh he uh he grew up went to school in Egg Harbor Township. Uh high
school in Egg Harbor Township. He was a varsity wrestler. Uh he came on board with us. Um I was told to mention traveling basketball. >> Yeah. Okay. Uh he he came on board as a
class one. Did a great job for us. And uh when you do that, we we elevate you and promote you uh to class two. Uh which we did. He went to the Gloucester County Police Academy. Did very well. He came out and worked as a class two for us as well. And again, did a great job.
Uh we had a hiring process uh for for the openings that you know for Sergeant Hurst and and some future openings that are going to be coming up. And uh even though you work for us, you still have to go through we we still make you go through that process. And even though he
worked for us, out of all the Atlantic County applicants, uh there's a little bit over 40. He rose to the top. He did a great job. Everybody was pulling for him. Everybody was proud of him. And uh you know, like I said, he rose to the top and and he became the number
uh applicant. And uh we're proud of him at the at the physical assessment. He he crushed it and and all the brutine officers huddled around him. You could tell he fits in well and you could tell they were really pulling for him. So,
it's a pleasure to bring him. Um council's probably sick of hearing me say this, but I always love saying to the family, you know, thanks for sticking by him. Uh it's going to get even more intense. Uh he might not be around on certain holidays, uh working
nights and stuff. Um it takes a toll on the family as well and they have to stick together and uh we appreciate you uh embarking on this profession with him. Um and and yeah, we're happy to bring him on board. Congratulations.
I have to do swear support state of New Jersey and that I will bear true faith to the government established
the United states and this under the authority that I will faithfully just require position of peace offic That's
so I would like to officially welcome Matthew to the police force and heard a lot of great things about you from Cass and I think our program that we have here where start people off as class ones work to class twos. I think it's a really good system and it has turned out
excellent police officers here in Brigantine for all of our officers here. It's not an easy job, but it's one that is very, very appreciated. We love and respect the job that each and every one of you do every day. Thank you for your service to the city. Matt, looking for
good things from Welcome. Thank you. I guess should we pause or we'll run the next pictures? >> That's what I just checked. Just checked. Okay. >> I had to had to ask the boss, sir. All
right. So today's a very special day and I'll call Christine down in a minute but uh today's a very very special day uh to have the ability to swear her as clerk. Uh she has done an outstanding job here in the city of Brigantine. We very very impressed. She came in she hit the
ground running. Uh she had huge shoes to fill. I see Lynn here. But um she's done a lot to really improve change and modernize the clerk's office. She has made my life very easy, which Lynn already had things really good for me, but Christine has taken it to a whole new level and I'm very proud of that.
Um, and one of the things I think I'm really impressed with, and I think people need to know this, when you take the clerk's test, less than 30% of the people pass the first try. Many people need multiple times to take this test. It was very challenging. Christine is
part of that 30%. Crush the test. Did a great job. So, if I could have the Murray family come up and join. Former Councilman John Murray in the family Bible. It's a very impressive Bible. I noticed it as soon as I walked

Resolution 2025-275. This is a resolution authorizing police department to participate in defense logistic agency law enforcement offices resolution 2025-276.
This is a resolution authorizing a settlement agreement fair share housing center pursuant to the fourth round affordable housing compliance motion second. So every 10 years this is something that the city of Brigadier and many municipalities had to go through
according to the Mount Laurel lawsuit that went through 75. bucks way off. But according to that, um, every municipality has a requirement to provide opportunities for affordable housing within their town.
Uh, the state does an assessment every decade and then we come to an agreement on what that affordable housing is. Uh, we've come to a settlement agreement with the state of New Jersey and this would authorize us to move forward on that settlement agreement. um if we don't move forward in this direction it
becomes a very costly legal battle and honestly this agreement with spring good spot so I think it makes sense to move forward this position any questions or comments seeing none we have roll call >> yes

>> Yes. >> Yes. Resolution 2025-278. And this is a resolution requesting a state of emergency and state disaster declaration for the New Jersey shore. We have a motion. Second.
>> I'll make that motion. Second. >> So in Brigantine uh Brigantine and a number of shore municipalities have declared local states of emergency uh dealing with erosion from Hurricane Haron and some of the other storms and warers we've been hit with. Uh we're working with Congressman Ban Drew on
getting federal funding for an emergency beach replenishment among some other things too, but that's probably the most important thing right now. Congressman Ban Drew has requested the state of New Jersey to also declare uh the state of New Jersey to also declare a state of
emergency at the Jersey Shore. The governor is refusing to do it. He's saying that the erosion that has happened here is not emergent. The state will not take action. That is 100% wrong. This is not a time to play politics.
People's homes are in danger and we need to make sure that we take care of those people and help them. This just isn't a Brigantine issue. This is impacting every shore municipality from Brigantine all the way down to Cape. Uh so you will see Brigantine, bless you, you see Briantine as well as many other shore
municipalities calling on the governor to pass that state of emergency. If the governor doesn't pass the state of emergency, my understanding is that that it prevents the Army Corps who was on board with helping prevents them from sending the money to New Jersey. The New
Jersey D has been out doing studies. They've looked at it. They agreed that this needs to be done that this these we need to do these replenishments and the governor needs to take action. So, we passed our local state of emergency. We're now calling on the governor to pass one for the state of New Jersey so
that we can move that federal money down to the municipalities who need it most. We need to make sure that our town is protected and that our homes are protected. >> Um there's no questions or comments. We have profile. >> Yes. >> Yes.
>> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> I want to make sure that people understand how hard Congressman Venture has been working on this issue. Um we've met with our local homeowners here that are most impacted by this and he is really championing this fight both from
the federal level and the state level to take care of the city of Brington and all of our South Jersey towns. So I proudly vote yes agenda. So we'll open it up um have our council manager committee discussions. Uh yeah, mayor. Uh first I want to
congratulate our new clerk. Short time you've been in that office. You have made my life a lot easier. Really taken it to the next level and extremely proud of you. I'm so thrilled to work
and I said it today. I'll say it again. you were the only person in this building that didn't think of this. Every one of the students would have missed this. So, congratulations. Uh I also was asked to uh thank publicly fire department and public works for all
the work they did with the spirit coalition in snow and ice. They uh they stepped up and they safely got the right vehicles. I also want to congratulate Jen Zuba for
becoming our OEM director. She is being promoted up deputy and she has done a tremendous job in that position. Thank you. right before Thanksgiving. Um, I am really excited to tell my
we have finally a new general manager. Introduce him to you. He is Mr. Mark Kimino Kim. Sorry. It comes to us directly from his position as head golf professional at
the Talbet East Eastern Maryland golf country club 17 years. Mark is very familiar with the south south Jersey golf community having spent eight years as head pro at Stone Harbor and also as an assistant pro at
both Great Bay and Parent. and he also graduated from Stockton University in year 2000 with a degree in finance. Mark has a strong background in the retail and food beverage end of the dock operation and has been involved in
clubhouse recent where our project is right now and also a centennial celebration which we are planning. Mark will be on fulltime by the end of February and has
already participating in uh interviews for head superintendent and is beginning to build a great management team. The city has extended the contract with ACIA through March 1st uh to ensure a smooth
transition. John Hammer will stay on through this period. I'm planning a meet and greet with members at our local community update. He's going to be here. >> He's coming the beginning of February
now. Yes. So, we're going to have some overlap between it's great. We're excited about that. It's gonna be a nice smooth transition. All right. So, uh really thrilled. Um I want to thank the fire department,
public works, and uh police department for great uh tree lighting. It was a huge crowd. And also public works, please, John, tell your guys the island looks great. I love Han Park and out front of the city hall. They really look
beautiful and I've heard a lot of comments on it, too. Uh, one of my favorite events of the year is the Elvis Army uh celebration. It's always an emotional day. See the the veterans get off the bus
and uh they come and enjoy a delicious lunch, play some games, listen to this music, each other. They're they're quite funny. Uh this year both Mayor Sar and Congressman
Congressman Van Drew addressed the group for their meal. Um then on Sunday synagogue for a fun time celebrating the first night of Hanukkah and uh I just want to wish everybody happy Hanukkah, merry Christmas and happy.
See you at the plunge. Yes. Prominade finally accomplishments. Sweet job. holiday. Thank you, Mayor. Stay along with Paul.
mentioned. Always such a beautiful event about the city. Everybody could see a away.
Thought it was quite a God bless her and her family. See, Christine, congrats. Awesome job. Came out at a you came out at a gate like just full stride. No seamless. And uh our best uh best wishes
and safety learn the job to officer Matt Dugan. safety to our fire department, public works, police department, everybody in time. safety is always also one last thing

community in our charity in our support of our veterans supporting these three charities. Thank you. Still my favorite. Sirens going all around.
>> He's getting closer. He's getting closer. Always. a great time for the whole merry Christmas. Congratulations. First shot on the first go. Please fire. just a great job all around the holidays with tree lighting and around the
neighborhoods. Awesome. But you know, nothing could be done without John Dory and way the island lit up. I've heard so many positive things about the lights all over and so thanks John to you and
Tiger Cultural Arts Committee for April. development committee see the building going on businesses probably going to see some development
even though it's not brrigantine on the right side of the Merry Christmas. Hope you launch. I got selfie 1975. Obvious uh first of all the golf course we got a
lot of great things going on down all the work. team and we want to make sure that we see the golf course succeed. I think this is really an opportunity to turn a corner and make that course the best it's ever been. I don't know if people realize but we are one of the shore
communities that has 18. It's going to take time to make investment in that already. We'll redo all the irrigation front n front n started working on the back n now they're starting to stage all
the equipment clubhouse down there we've uh redone the entire car path this is just you know I think that we have an opportunity to make this stand out course in the state of New Jersey and that's one of the expectations for this team is excellence
you look at everything we touch it's about excellence from from every department from employee those investments in the city are going to continue you know a lot of times people ask what goes on taxation now people talk about I see what goes on tax
look at all the roads that you look at what's happening with all of our buildings what's happening with the recreation but we are trying to make this one of the best towns in the state of New Jersey firmly believe this you know you invest in this community it's going to make sure that every here has one good quality of life and two the
property value stay make sure that when you buy a home that value continues and that's something that we're all committed to uh if you look at one of the major issues we had here in the community short-term rentals I'm sure everybody remembers the months and months and
months of people coming in one of the things that this council promised is we weren't going fast but we get it done our team put together an outstanding plan that is now the model for the state of New Jersey
issues, complaints, problems, almost none. And a big part of that is putting the responsibility on the owners. When the owners stepped up to the plate, those who lived here made sure that they did a better job of managing their properties and handling problems and we're here to
support them issues come up. And those who didn't hire professionals to manage those properties and what a big difference it is made. You know, that was kind of the goal of to do to make sure that we have this partnership because we do need balance. One, there's
a community of lot of people who love this island. And two, there's a tourism. We need to make sure that we're supporting our business, make sure we're supporting our beaches, make sure we're supporting everything that is great. So, no one side takes advantage of
government. And this ordinance we put in place, I think, is accomplished. something I think we should all be very proud of. Another major issue that we've been working on and see I've been working on this since probably 2017. Uh was called
New Jersey pack protection against climate threats. Now it's called New Jersey Real. Uh basically the same thing. Um 20 municipalities holding out and fighting against the governor on these regulations. There's an issue and a problem. One of
the major issues is when these go through and the governor's going to pass them, my understanding first week of January before he leaves office, the governor has been signed these by executive order in place. And long term, what these regulations do is it will
take away for all the short communities our ability to build homes and live here. And I want to say this again because I want people to understand long term what this means. the way they're setting up the regulatory process,
almost all of Brian's team would fall under the state of New Jerseyy's regulations and decision making when it comes to construction. When they're doing that, they're taking away our ability to approve
construction, build homes here with the uh D commissioner. had the opportunity to have a meeting with the commissioner I want to say probably 2017 2018 and run once together a little bit with the help of Senator Chris Brown had a meeting with him some other municipalities one
of the questions I directly asked everything in these regulations points to what I would call a strategic withdrawal from the shore that means over time they're going to move people off the bar islands and when I tell you in this public meeting he was up one
side of me down the other screaming at me that I was fear bombing. I said, "Sir, this is a reasonable question. I mean no disrespect, but everything in these regulations tell me you want to do that and your own regulations documentation.
You have to do shoreline and that see. So if you're putting the shoreline in that seek, you're telling me that we can't live in our homes anymore. You told me I was wrong. In the new information and explanation of these real regulations,
it says in writing, the state will be exploring plans for a strategic control. That is wrong. I know there's a lot of municipalities that don't do what they need to do for flood resiliency and mostly because they don't spend the money on it. But Briantine and many
other municipalities have been doing the right thing. And one of the arguments that we made, if the issues that they say will come to pass happen, then there's not an issue because you can't live on the island anyway. So why are you putting regulations in place that
take advantage of a scenario that may happen 80 years from now that the scientist himself who they're basing their regulations on said this is just one thing. It is not the beall end all. Was not the intent of his research. And this is something we need to pay
attention to because I think this is a far overreach of government. It is 100% wrong. It should not be done. The other problem is is this process, these regulations haven't gone through the normal regulatory process. This isn't something that's been voted on by the
legislature. It's not something that should be done through executive order. There's a number of deficiencies with the way that the governor is pushing this forward. And I think it's sad that he's doing it his last days of office. If this is something that needs to be done, it should follow the normal
process. Kate County has already said put out public statements. Should the governor sign these executive orders, Kate County will file a lawsuit against them because what they're doing is against the law. I think Atlantic County should do the same. If Atlantic County
is not willing to do that, because we saw when we filed um issues with Ocean Wind and we asked Atlantic County to file lawsuit, they refused. If they do not do that, I think this is something that frigantines should do and I think we should band together with other shore communities. You know, this is about the
future of our homes. You know, it's one thing the governor comes in and tries to put windmills out here and destroy our island. And one of the things I said is the reason they wanted to put the windmills so close to here because it would make Brigantine and other South Jersey Shore communities unlivable. And
it would be the windmill's fault that we got pushed out. We were successful in that battle. Now he's pushing forward with these regulations where over time they're going to take away our ability to live here. That is wrong. It needs to be stopped. So I will share with council
more information. We have it. I'll be speaking with our county executive as well as our commissioners about getting support on this. And if they're unable or unwilling, we're going to do the same thing that we did with the Ocean Wind. We'll band together with other municipalities and make it happen. But
this is something that we need to stand up for, not just for us, for our children, our grandchildren. So, I keep everybody posted as we move forward. Um, the hope was that when the governor left office, this would die, but he has made it very clear first week of January. I
was told January 5th, but we'll see. First week of January, he's signing this no matter. I'll keep everybody posted. All right. On a happier note, I would like to wish everybody a happy and holiday season. Everybody has a
wonderful Christmas, happy Hanukkah. I will tell you the um we had an opportunity for the Hanukkah celebrations at the synagogue. One of the things that I think I'm always grateful for is every time we go there, we're always welcome almost feel like members of that
synagogue. Not only that sense but sense of like family we come it's always happy to see us always hugs always inclusive and I think that's one of the beautiful things about bringing in the back who we are where we come from
we're all one family it's something that makes me proud at this time I'd like to open it up for public comment anybody wishing to be heard please state name address for the Mariano 144 44 Street. I guess a question about
the um the local recreation improvement grant for a plan submitted all the application. >> No, all we had to provide was a project description. We did not submit any plans for the uh for the application for that grant.
>> As far as the description, is it is that available? >> Basically, the description we're only putting it for that grant, it's only up to $70,000. We're just looking for costs that cover like the design and implementation of of that. So, that's
it's a very small grant for the scope of this project. >> All right. I'm just trying to keep up to date. Yeah, >> I believe to Mio I believe you're on the email list for it. So any information we have we send out to everybody. We have a
um we had a rough draft. We had uh people pick tennis community just taking look at layouts and courts and stuff like that. Once we have um our next draft um we'll have a public meeting center and we'll have a
big rendering be able to answer questions make adjustments and work that way. So, we'll make sure before any construction moves forward that John Johnson, 36 Cokeill Beach Drive. I would like to say congratulations
Christine. Your hard work has paid off. Good for you. To all of city council, fire, police, public works, city manager, and council, thanks for making it another great year to be a resident and proud to be a Brigotine family.
You're doing a great job for all of us. Keep it up, Vince, and my old head. It's payback. You led the charge against Phil Murphy's dream, and now you're feeling the wrath. Everybody knows he's a
vindictive person and just how to say it the way I see it. Thank you all. Bye. >> Thank you. >> Evening there council staff. Uh for the record, Frank 433 Lafayette. Um firstly I'll add the echoes. Congratulations on
your position. Well done. Um, I had my first experience a couple days ago with the building department. I had to pull a permit and um, I just like to give whoever's in charge, city manager or public works,
it was the most pleasant experience I've ever had in four years contract. The ladies at the windows were very nice, very helpful. Um, I didn't have all the information filled out or I didn't know certain things instead of just handing the application back. I'll come back
later. Came outside. Here, I'll help you out. And they filled it out while I was standing there. So, I want to say thank you to all of them. Um, in the same vein, um, the inspector, Mr. Martin, I think is his name. Um, I had an issue with the, um, not an issue with a
concern with putting in a window and we were close to a a gas service, so I wasn't sure if it was up to code. So, they were very nice. They made a copy for me right there at the window. They explained the code to me. when he came out to the site to do the inspection, we double, triple, quadruple measured.
Everything came out okay. And um again, another pleasant experience. It's it's starting to be a good habit that I'm I'm really not used to. Um second thing, um uh DPW with the uh recent snowfall to me
that was just a minor thing back from New York, but down here, I know it's it's tough the condition, especially the wind. And um again, compliments to the men and women of the DPW. They did a really great job in my opinion. It's a it's a thankless job. If if you do and you throw the snow on someone's
sidewalk, they're screaming. If you don't do the road, they're screaming again. So, you can't win for losing. Um I'm very sympathetic. I plowed Mercy and privately for over 20 years. So, I know what the uh the men and women going through. We used to call it pennies from heaven for the first couple of snowstorms. After that, it became blood
money. So, uh, thank you for that. Um, quick segue. Um, with the shoveling, uh, sidewalk shoveling, I'm asking some of the neighbors and I'm a little confused. Um, I looked up the ordinance. I may be
right, maybe wrong, but is there an ordinance on the books that the sidewalks have to be shoveled? And the only reason I ask is because it seems to be a little bit of a safety concern. Um, I've seen people in my neighborhood, Lafayette, and some like that um, walking along a sidewalk that has been shovel. all sudden they got to cross
into the curb, walk two or three houses, cross back on. Um just wondering is this something that's is on the books? Is it enforceable or is it just like you know hoping for the best? >> You'll find time to deter. >> The only thing I did find, sir, is um
title one chapter 22 says must renew snow promptly. Um, I don't know if that's a brilliant thing. I'm trying I'm not very good on researching on the internet. >> Have I'd have to look it up and see exactly what it says. I mean, I know the sidewalk is the homeowner's
responsibility, so I would imagine making it passable and safe would be included in that. So, >> okay. Yeah, that's that's my concern. Again, I see people kind of bobbing and weaving. It's icy in the road, stepping on the curb, the ice, and now the conditions aren't exactly the best, but Okay. I think the challenge to do is you
know some people it's their summer home so there's nobody there all winter they kind of winterize the house and head somewhere warmer maybe and uh so there's nobody around but yeah we understand concern >> okay all right that's all I have thank
