These conversations have been invaluable in helping us understand what the community members are experiencing and what they would like to see from

64

this committee. Through these discussions, we have gathered meaningful insight into resident priorities and expectations, which are already shaping our approach to program design and service delivery going forward. Following Cammenson Day and other recent local community events, the committee has been actively following up on

connections made with vendors and community organizations.

00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:47.360

116
00:41:17.520 --> 00:41:33.520
communications to increase engagement, media relations, and public outreach. Two proposals were received. Township staff and professionals have reviewed the proposals and recommended that the governing body award the contract to

117
00:41:33.520 --> 00:41:50.000
Thomas Boyd Associates. The contract terms include a retainer fee in the amount of $42,000 annually for no more than 21 hours per month of service and $165 per hour for additional time and

00:41:50.000 --> 00:42:07.680

123
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:42.880
And then we do have one raffle. I'm gonna try my best here. The NAF Pacttian Society raffle on November 14th, 2026. That is the end of the consent agenda. May I have a motion to open public

124
00:43:42.880 --> 00:44:00.079
comment on consent agenda items only? >> I'll make that motion, Mr. Mayor. >> May I have a second? >> I'll second. Text. >> I'm sorry. text. >> Voice vote. All in favor? >> I >> I >> I

125
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:26.720
>> opposed. Abstensions. >> Public comment on consent agenda items is now open. >> Hi, Amy Neran 325 Lisa Way. I have a question about the liquor licenses. I read the um the resolution uh when I got the agenda online and it said that you

126
00:44:26.720 --> 00:44:42.640
guys are renewing the liquor license for Sweetwater and I'm curious as to why since Sweetwater has been closed for almost a year now. >> Who wants that one? >> Take that, Mr. Mayor. >> Yeah. Uh Mike, would you mind coming forward and explaining the pocket license and George Cretatus and Thank

127
00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:57.520
you. >> Good evening. >> Hi. >> Hi. So, you're correct. Sweet borders closed. In the mayor's report, he noted that will be start shortly. But this is a renewal in place of property. It I believe I'm permitted to disclose that

128
00:44:57.520 --> 00:45:14.240
there is an agreement of sale for a transfer of the license without a desert through maintenance and missing. >> Okay. >> Without a designated property yet to be announced. It'll be announced shortly. >> So we're keeping the license within town. We don't lose a license. >> If I could say it's a placeholder, if you will. >> Okay. >> The four other license continues. This

129
00:45:14.240 --> 00:45:29.200
is just dormant at the time. I lease I believe they call it a pocket to pocket. Actually, Mrs. Pacion is the keeper of the license during this period. >> Okay. All right. Well, that makes sense. >> Question because Mayor Young asked the same question and he didn't believe me.

130
00:45:29.200 --> 00:46:04.000
So, at least maybe >> and I can't ask a question about something that was discussed before the consent stuff. Right. >> Yeah. >> All right. >> Right. >> I was going to ask a question about I think Yeah. Jim Francis, 804 Belleview Avenue. Um,

131
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:22.319
my question is tonight on this uh the performance bond which takes in South Belleview Avenue or my street anyway. Um, as far as I'm concerned, that was never completed correctly.

132
00:46:22.319 --> 00:46:38.480
Okay. So, if you start at the beginning of my street or on my corner and you measure from curb to curb, it's I think it's 40 45 ft wide. That street has now turned into a city street. You guys turned it into a city

133
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:55.119
street. You put six homes on our street, that's at least 12 cars. We have the home down the street and we have all the cars that come in and out of there every day. Then we we add it into this whole thing. Every one of these homes orders food

134
00:46:55.119 --> 00:47:10.319
out. So that's every driver that runs up and down the street. And now you're talking about something whatever you're doing with the church. The street was never correctly laid out. It was never put back in order or in the way it

135
00:47:10.319 --> 00:47:26.079
should be. There's a tree where there should be a curb. There's a telephone pole. There's a fire hydrant. The street was never made correctly in the return for what you guys did to the end of the street.

136
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:44.240
You turned our street into a city block. And I don't think you understand that. You know you in your part of the neighborhood. You didn't take and put all this in in your neighborhood. But now it's a car up and down because it's a deadend street. It's not like

137
00:47:44.240 --> 00:48:00.800
they drive through, they go in, they come out, they go in, they come out. There's no place to park. They have parking issues when they go down the street. Anybody uh your delivery drivers, they drive all over the lawn out of G a gate or

138
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:16.240
whatever it is, they up and down on the lawn, they go it's a total fiasco. So, as far as a performance bond, whatever you've given these people back, you need to take a real good look at the end of Belleview Avenue and figure out what should have

139
00:48:16.240 --> 00:48:44.000
been done right to make it right, cuz it's never really been done right. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Francis. Okay, seeing no one else come forward, may I have a motion to close public comment on the consent agenda items?

140
00:48:44.000 --> 00:49:00.160
>> Make that motion, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you very much. May I have a second? >> I'll second that. >> Voice vote. All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Extensions. Public comment on consent agenda items is now closed. May I have a motion to

141
00:49:00.160 --> 00:49:16.319
approve the consent agenda, please? I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I will second that. Roll call vote, please. Madam Secretary. >> Yes, Mayor. >> Mr. Conduct. >> I. >> Mr. Miguel. >> I. >> Dr. Keller Walls. >> I.

142
00:49:16.319 --> 00:49:32.240
>> Deputy Mayor Seas. >> I. >> Mayor Corner. >> I. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Moving on to the approval of minutes. Uh May 18th, 2026. May I have a motion to approve the minutes of that meeting? Again, May 18th, 2026.

143
00:49:32.240 --> 00:49:48.160
I'll make that motion, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you very much. May I have a second? >> I'll second that, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you. Roll call vote, please. Madam Secretary, >> yes, Mayor. >> Mr. Cond, >> I. >> Mr. Miguel, >> I. >> Dr. Taylor Walls, >> I believe Vayner Seagris. >> I may >> I.

144
00:49:48.160 --> 00:50:03.839
>> Thank you. >> Okay, moving on to the bill list. I'm assuming everybody had an opportunity to review the bill list, ask any questions. May I have a motion to approve the bill list? >> Like to make a motion to approve the bill list, Mr. Mayor, >> I will second that. Roll call vote,

145
00:50:03.839 --> 00:50:20.160
please. Madam Secretary, >> yes, Mayor. Mr. Condo, >> I. >> Mr. Miguel, >> I. >> Dr. Taylor Walls, >> I. >> Deputy Mayor Seager. >> Hi. >> Mayor Horner, >> I. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Staff and professional comments. Any comments from the staff or

146
00:50:20.160 --> 00:50:37.520
professionals this evening? >> Nothing. All right. Moving on to public comment. May I have a motion to open public comment, please? I'll make that motion. >> Thank you very much. May I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Thank you. Voice vote. All in favor? I

147
00:50:37.520 --> 00:50:59.760
>> I opposed. Abstensions. All right. Hearing none. Public comment is now open. Please come forward. State your name and address for the record. This is for anything at this point. >> U Amy Neran uh 325 Lisa Way. The last meeting that I came to, you guys recommended that we sign up for Nexl or

148
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:15.359
Nixl or whatever it's called. And because we have the same zip code as Riverton, every single message that I'm getting is about Riverton. I have not received a single one about Cinnamon. Like, wouldn't this meeting be something that should be um announced through Nixl

149
00:51:15.359 --> 00:51:33.680
or Nexel? >> We never have. I say I I get both Riverton and >> Yeah. I I I haven't I I mean I've only been on it for a couple of weeks and I haven't gotten anything from Riverton from Cinnamonson yet, but everything because we share a zip code. >> Did you sign up through the website or did you sign up from your phone?

150
00:51:33.680 --> 00:51:48.800
>> Through the website >> cuz I believe in the website you can go on there and log on and tailor it to what you want to see. >> Okay. >> Um I signed up with my phone. >> I just went 88777 and I put in my zip code. Yeah. >> And it just defaults to sending me everything.

151
00:51:48.800 --> 00:52:04.640
>> Right. Yeah, >> I went on to Nixel later after I did that. I get I I get both Riverton and Cinemag because I like to see both, but I also have it sent to my email as well. So, I think you can go online to the website and tweak it to determine

152
00:52:04.640 --> 00:52:19.359
exactly what you will see and exactly where it goes. >> And will these meetings be announced on NIXL? >> These meetings are are listed >> I know they're on the website and >> on in the paper and on the website, >> but they're not through Nixl. We do not

153
00:52:19.359 --> 00:52:36.400
generally list or broadcast that does. >> No, we haven't. >> But we don't we only have 5,000 people out of >> so many. So even if we did it on Nixl, not everybody's getting it. So >> the website is actually the best best way to find out. >> All right.

154
00:52:36.400 --> 00:53:01.119
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. Good evening. I'm Jamala Shepard, 215, excuse me. What? 215 Front Street in Palmar, New Jersey. Speaking on behalf of the City Club of Riverton, East

155
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:15.839
Riverton Palmar. I think there needs to be additional feedback on the Belleview Street situation because when they built the new homes down there, several of you were down

156
00:53:15.839 --> 00:53:31.119
there and you saw how tight it was then. Now, if you were to ride down there tonight, say, maybe about 9:00, you can see cars parked every which way.

157
00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:49.280
Um maybe um George is his name George. Uh no the guy that helped with the excuse me I got big the guy that helped with the um sidewalks. This >> Joe >> Joe >> Joe >> maybe you could um go down there with

158
00:53:49.280 --> 00:54:06.079
Joe and Joe could give you opinion about how tight it is and what needs to be done because it's really really tight. If if cars are parked on both sides, you need to be a good driver to get down

159
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:21.760
the center. And that's really really too tight. Plus, I don't think there's any sidewalks down there, is there? >> So, now we have a safety issue because there's a lot of little kids down there now. I know Cson Township does not have

160
00:54:21.760 --> 00:54:49.760
sidewalks in every area, but maybe that can be revisited for that street. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Shepard. Here we go. Here we go. >> Jeannie Francis, 804 South Belleview

161
00:54:49.760 --> 00:55:05.520
Avenue. So, I brought this up before and Mr. McGill in your report in May you brought up a how the street was studied by the stop signs and who weren't stopping. Again, this is a Belleview Avenue issue. Um I've lived in that house for a very long time. That was my grandparents

162
00:55:05.520 --> 00:55:21.359
house and my great aunt and uncle's house. So I've been there. I've got a lot of history. The new condos, the people are not stopping at all for the stop sign. When Mr. McIll did his report, he said the average speed through the intersection is 17 miles an

163
00:55:21.359 --> 00:55:38.319
hour. If we all who are all drivers here understand what is to be done at a stop sign and legally I've got it took it off a line. You're supposed to stop, look left and right, make sure there's no other cars, there's no other people, and

164
00:55:38.319 --> 00:55:54.240
then you were to proceed through the stop sign, but you were to come to a full stop. So 17 miles an hour through the intersection is not a full stop. So, at this time on Willow Drive, we have a, you know, you're watching also that. So,

165
00:55:54.240 --> 00:56:11.599
I have a friend that lives on Willow Drive. So, I measured the intersection at my house. I went out to that sign. We measured what would be the length of the intersection on Belleview and Land Street and I tried with my car 12 different times from a dead stop to then

166
00:56:11.599 --> 00:56:30.079
going through. I couldn't get above 11. So if the a we averaged because I understand you know statistics and averaging you either round it up or rounded down probably rounded down to how many cars and what their speed was. 17 m an hour through an intersection

167
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:47.359
that has no sidewalk no curb is not responsible. I did see after monitoring on our side of the street we got a white painted line like are at all stop signs but on the other side on the stop sign there is not a white painted line.

168
00:56:47.359 --> 00:57:02.400
So I'm thinking that you really need to come back out and revisit this situation. Somehow our new neighbors need to learn that is not acceptable to fly through the intersection. We have deliveries happening. We have

169
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:30.960
people at the group home that change their employees often and they are coming from the city and they are driving through this intersection like they are in the middle of the city. Please give this consideration. >> Thank you, Miss Francis. >> Larry May, 624 Sienna Drive.

170
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:50.400
Uh, is it okay if I ask a question about the uh ordinance that was introduced uh 2026-8 >> regarding the data center? >> Yeah. >> Uh this evening? No, you can come back during the public hearing at that point.

171
00:57:50.400 --> 00:58:15.280
>> Okay. I'll hold I'll hold the question until then and it'll be published tomorrow anyway, right? >> Yes, sir. Sure. Good. Thank you. >> You're welcome. Excuse me, mayor. >> Yes. >> If they need the ordinance, they should reach out to me. The introduction just

172
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:30.640
does not display the whole ordinance. Okay. >> But they can, Mr. May, you can reach out to me and I'd be happy to email it to you. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay. Or you can come in and pick it up. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you.

173
00:58:30.640 --> 00:58:49.040
>> Thank you. >> Okay. Seeing no one else coming forward, may I have a motion to close public comment, please? >> I will make that motion. >> I will second that voice vote. All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Abstensions. All right. Public

174
00:58:49.040 --> 00:59:07.280
comment is now done. Any comments from committee this evening? I would uh just like to take a second to uh echo committee member McIll's comments in his liaison report. Um this week was St. Charles Carnival which is

175
00:59:07.280 --> 00:59:24.799
a fairly large event and the police um the fire district the c St. Charles church all did a fantastic job. It was uh I live right behind the church and other than um

176
00:59:24.799 --> 00:59:42.640
other than the smell of panzerati for the week. Uh it was it was a great affair and I appreciate the effort and the time that was put into it by all involved and that's all I have this evening. >> Yeah, I'd like to echo those sir those

177
00:59:42.640 --> 00:59:57.520
sentiments. I live right behind the church as well. Um I have young kids. They love the carnival. I I I think feelingwise it felt like the safest the carnival has ever been. Um I certainly

178
00:59:57.520 --> 01:00:12.880
got my meat on the stick every single night. Maybe I missed maybe I missed one night. Uh but also to the officers that were sworn in tonight. Congratulations. It's great to start an event, one of these meetings with with something like that. And I thought Savannah also did a great

179
01:00:12.880 --> 01:00:29.280
job in her reporting from the school. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to also thank Savannah for her reporting for the school. I thought that was a a wonderful addition and a great opportunity um for her and I wish her luck whatever her next chapter is. I also want to thank the police and the fire department for

180
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:45.680
their efforts in maintaining a very safe environment and also welcoming other people from other communities and coming in and um welcoming everybody to have a good time. Thank you very much. >> Yes, of course, Reverend D. Yes, I want to uh once again thank
