residents. I am pleased tonight to provide an update on some important economic development issues in Cinnamonson. First on tonight's agenda is a public hearing and for the township committee consideration and ordinance to provide proper zoning for a new age restricted senior development along
river road. This is the final remaining parcel within the cinemas and harbor track and if planning board has determined that the concept plan is consistent with the township's master plan and if the ordinance is authorized right tonight the developer will make
application to the planning board to review various site issues such as traffic circulation storm water parking etc. Overall, the development will be a mix of market rentals and affordable rental units, all for seniors, and will also
assist the township with satisfying our council on affordable housing fourth grade obligation or fourth round obligations. Indeed, KA is a complicated and important component of local government governance. But while other towns are
faced with massive new construction to satisfy these state requirements, Cineon over the last eight years methodically planned and balanced our existing character of our community while providing realistic development opportunities to satisfy the state
mandate. I encourage my colleagues to support this agenda item. Some other economic development news as we welcome some new businesses to our town. As you may have heard, Gold'sburgers is coming to Cinnamonson at the Starbucks Center. Joining newly
opened locations in Hannfield and Medford, Goldsburg offers 100% USDA prime beef for the burgers and steak sandwiches served freshly baked on rolls. As they like to say, good food done right. Also, Four Quarters Plumbing is relocating their corporate
headquarters to a newly renovated building along Ruin 30, which once housed Lancaster Dress, as well as Stout and Cwell. We are proud to welcome both businesses. I'm delighted to report that the planning board received a very positive report from the township
special planner who is determining if the Mainline Shopping Center and Sherwin William Center are eligible to be designated for redevelopment. These parcels are the latest shopping center upgrades and provide the possibility for new and exciting permitted uses. Amazon
has occupied approximately 30% of the warehouse along Taylor's Lane. Mayor Krabville on behalf of the township committee has formally requested that the New Jersey Department of Transportation accelerate their plan improvements at Taylor's Lane in room
130. We will continue to encourage NJ dot to move quickly. Please keep in mind that this location is an active environmental remeditation site and based on state regulations, its only potential use is
warehousing and industrial enterprise. Finally, our economic development team continues to meet with prospective businesses and sentiments and remains the most desirable town to relocate or start a business along the rural corridor. Moving on to finance, I am
proud to remind my fellow residents that once again this township committee under Mayor Krabble's leadership has delivered a no municipal tax increased budget. The township was able to secure significant grant funding for major improvements as well ensure no decrease in services. We
continue to look for opportunities to improve the quality of life for our residents while being fiscally responsible. Mayor, that con concludes my report. Next we have the mayor's report for parks and recreation and veterans affair. Parks and recreations
and veterans in favor. We are thrilled to announce that the township will be adding an inclusive playground to our park system. An inclusive playground is designed to provide a safe, accessible, and engaging play space for for children
of all abilities, including those with physical, sensory, cognitive challenges. This ensures that every child in the community in our community can play, explore, and grow together. This exciting addition is made possible
throughout through of 2025 Burlington County Municipal Park Development Program grants in the amount of $175,000. We have more great news. The basketball courts at Garfield Park have fully been
refurbished and are now open for play. This project was funded by a 2024 local recreation improvement grant totaling $70,000. These enhancements reflect on our ongoing commitment to proving high
quality recreational space for all residents. This past Saturday, Cinnamonson hosted a townwide yard sale. The event was a huge success with strong community participation and over 60 households

important day is on a time to honor and thank American veterans for their patriotism, love of the country, and dedication to serve. Throughout our nation's history, service members have answered the call to protect our freedom

tonight to suggest an amendment to the Cinnamonson Township Ordinance 525-120 titled political signs. The relevant section my sister and I would like to bring to your attention is section B, paragraph 4, which states, "Such signs shall not be erected more than 45 days
prior to the election or referendum and shall be removed by the candidate, political committee, entity, organization, individual, or PAC within 14 days after the election or referendum. As written, the ordinance allows signs to be up for a maximum of
59 days. The order the ordinance my brother does just read has not been amended since 2008. Since 2008, New Jersey has seen an increase in vote by mail and early voting. Currently, vote by mail ballots
are mailed out by Burlington County starting 45 days before the election. Additionally, early voting starts 10 days before the designated election mail. It is our belief that ordinance 525 needs to be amended to reflect the
in the introduction of vote by mail as early which has not which was not as common or even in existence into >> a few weeks ago. Mr. Condo was kind enough to meet with me and my sister. He
gave us a lesson on municipal government and discussed us discussed with us the process of amending a township ordinance. Together we discussed what an amendment to ordinance 525 could look like and how to present it to the township committee.
>> Based on our discussion with Mr. Cond, we need we are suggesting the following amendment to ordinance 525 change 45 days prior to the election to two days prior to the election and change 14 days after the election to seven days after
the election. It is our belief that this suggested amen this suggested amendment updates origin for the current election environment in addition to accounting for the early the early access to voting
by mail or early voting. The ordinance amendment maintain the same 59 days in the current ordinance. >> Thank you for your time and allowing us to present this proposed amendment to ordinance 525. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you, Dutch Mley. Um, I wanted to say you guys made some extremely valid points and uh we will take it under adisement township committee and we will discuss it and uh we'll keep you posted on what changes can be made to your
above mentioned ordinance. Thank you for being civically involved. >> Thank you. >> Hearing no further public comments, may I have a motion to close this portion of the meeting? >> I will make the motion to close the public comment. I will second that
motion. >> May I have a voice vote, please? >> I >> Okay. May I have a motion to close public comment? >> I'll make that motion. >> Thank you, Mr. Condo. May I have a second? >> Madam Mayor, I'll second that. >> Thank you, Deputy Mayor Boy, please.
