>> I will second that. >> Thank you, Mr. Condom. Voice vote, please. >> I nays abstensions. Public comment is now open. Please come forward and state your name and address for the record. My name is Daniel Corte. I live on number one number one Oakwood Drive
Cinem uh Cinem Avenue and Oakwood Drive corner. I'm call I'm here about it's a number of years now. There's been a lot of traffic on my street. It's changed because of the shop rate and all those stores. So,
a lot of pedestrian pack traffic gone by. That's okay. And but uh the past couple of years, especially this past year, a lot of these uh electric vehicles, they're in the street, they're
on the sidewalk, and they're flying by. I don't know what's legal here, but I don't think they're they're not wearing helmets most of the time. Sometimes they're in the street, but mostly they're on the sidewalk. My particular situation is that um when
I'm on my riding lawnmower, these vehicles come up at 30 miles an hour. I can't hear them and they suddenly appear when when I'm riding. My biggest problem I'll send a
photograph up here of the sidewalk. Can you send that around? The sidewalk has a a uh my neighbor has a fence. There's been fence there forever. I've been there since 1973 and
the fence been against the sidewalk. He had a chainlink fence against the sidewalk there. Uh didn't cause any problem. But lately, this past summer, uh he added a wooden fence six feet high. So when I come around my lawn
mower, I got to stop and review the sidewalk. Make sure nobody's flying by. People in bicycles, you expect that people walking. But these vehicles that are, you know, scooters
>> and the the the motorized the bikes, the people have bikes mostly there in the street. But I get the scooters and the what do you call the skateboards? Motorized skateboards or something. uh a lot of that and and there's bicycles occasionally people go flying
by and I was wondering if we could have some signage let people know they shouldn't be doing that. Um the the the fence I don't I on a helicopter permitted to put a fence against my my fence is is 17 and 12 ft
away from the sidewalk and that one's against it. I don't know how that even works, but uh I haven't seen that except for my neighborhood, my my street. >> Yeah. >> But the big, you know, it's a big problem. But we have a lot of pedestrians working at the stores. They
walk, but now they're riding on scooters. So I just thought maybe some signs be good. I get a lot of trash. Voice had trash over there. this morning. Two giant there's Waw Wa cups in my was in my grass. Every day I pick
up trash. There used to be a sign on the the curb grass a couple years ago sign said $50 $50 littering fee fine. >> And they that got replaced with a sign
that says for the the center lane is for left turns only. Well, it's become a passing lane. I have a truck. I back into my driveway and people can't wait a second while I'm backing up. They got to go around into the past into that left
turn lane to do passing. And I I see it often with people on the street doing other cars doing that. So, it's a traffic problem. It's It seems like nobody pays attention to it. I just see it all the time. I I don't know what the police are doing. I I don't know what
what the ordinances are, but maybe a sign saying you can't ride a motorized vehicle in the sidewalk would be good. I I I don't know. >> That's about it. >> Well, thank you very much. Thank you. >> Pardon me.
>> I said thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. >> Thank you for >> Thank you, sir. >> nervous. >> No need to be nervous. You did wonderful. Thank you. Ben Young again, 116 Woodview. Quick suggestion on that fence. Probably
existing fence is 4 foot, which was legal when they put it up, >> right? >> And if you put a wood fence up behind it, I just mentioned to Mr. Mitten, you should have pulled a permit for it and you should have held him back off the curb. >> Just a simple quick solution. >> Yeah. >> I'm really here to talk about something
totally different. There's a bill before the Senate in in New Jersey coming up for a hearing this month in committee S3915. It has to do with pilots and changing how the pilots work and how the monies
are shared. You people need to get on this. Singleton s sponsored it. So he's your most closest source because this is going to this is going to change your whole pilot system. It's going to make you share it with the schools,
>> which has been a big deal. We fought that back in 20 2008. We gave in we gave in on the residential stuff at Sienna, but we never gave in on the industrial. And you need to hold your ground or get
Singleton to pull this building. It's been up there for a year. Was put in a year ago this time, but you need to get up there and hold your ground. You're all going to the league this week. do some lobbying and get on it >> because that's a big deal. >> I mean, we g we left you about seven
million. I think you got about nine now because of that. So, >> it's a big deal, >> Paul. The as far as I know, the easement is dead unless you can get it back. Well, you can try Waste Management. This is the easement between uh Union Landing
and Taylor's Lane across Paul asked me to look into it and I did. And as far as I can tell, it was not exercised in a timely manner. But you could try you could try waste on. You have plenty of things to argue with waste about to maybe use as leverage, >> but try.
>> Fair enough, Ben. I appreciate it. Thank you. >> Thanks, Ben. >> Thank you, Mr. Young. Good evening everyone. Renee Olavis, 21108 Hunter Street. I was wondering if we have an emergency
preparedness plan yet in case there is something with the trains, fire, seabbox, etc. um where we would need to evacuate
flooding, etc. Go ahead, Mr. Sugar. >> Yes, we do. We we work closely with the county and all the other area municipalities to adopt the plan. Our emergency management coordinator uh led the charge on that recently. It was adopted within the past year. I think
>> we adopted it. >> Possible for us to have meetings in each area to inform the residents what that plan is. So, I think a lot of the plan uh is is not meant for public input because of some of the the parts of the plan that
are going to need to be held that that way so that we can take action. But whatever we can do to share with with residents, we certainly will do that. I will uh talk to the emergency management coordinator and see what we could do to at least u make sure you're aware that
we're on it and that we have taken action. I I'm just giving you a little bit of warning. I think some of the specifics, >> yeah, >> we're not going to be able to divulge because it's so important that we have that, you know. >> Well, in the case of terrorism and different things like that, I can
understand where you wouldn't be able to. Thank you. That aspect I get, but it's just that um people need to know where to go and what to do. >> It's if you know the area is affected. So, it's that type of thing I'm talking about. >> Agree. And citizens are a big part of it
obviously. So, uh, let me let me try to, uh, coordinate something, uh, I'll follow up with you. >> Thank you. Feel free to call me. >> Okay. >> Thanks a lot. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you, Miss Davis. >> Okay. Seeing no one else come forward. Okay. Uh, may I have a motion to close
public comment? >> I will make that motion, madame mayor. >> Okay. I will second. Voice vote, please. I >> I >> may abstensions. Public comment is now closed. Uh, do we have any comments from committee members tonight?
>> Uh, I have nothing tonight. Thank you. None from me, Madam Mayor. >> No, ma'am. >> Okay. Very good. All right. Uh, may I have a motion to adjourn the meeting? >> I will make that motion to adjourn the meeting. Madam, >> thank you, Mr. Seag. May I have a second? >> I'll second that, Madam Mayor.
