The burrow test complies with the notice provisions of the sunshine law by adopting prior to January 10th of this year for resolutions in the dates time and location of all regular meeting commission. This meeting is one of the meetings listed in such resolution and copies of the resolution were by January
10th file. All right. >> Yes. >> All right. So, we're going to open up to public comment if there's anybody with a public comment. Um, just main address for the record and that would be your moment. Thank you. My name is Denise
Broner. R U N K R and address 404 CER Avenue. Um yeah, I was um I thank you so much for this. Um the response was so fast
really. Oh, I'm sorry for the resolution banning US immigration and customs enforcement from entering any purpose. Um, so we really appreciate your participating response to this. Um,
there was one thing that I was wondering I think that maybe not in this but maybe in some other way. Um some of the resolutions include um providing
uh resources for people who need to know their rights um Spanish, English, other languages um and just making that available to people and publicizing that college has those
things that so I didn't want to trying to ask to put it in this resolution because this is ready to go today. Um but if there's some other way that >> Yes. Yes, we do. >> We had different iterations of this uh
with Lindsay Ferguson of you know months ago the thinking was heads down. you know want to attract attention to Collins was by having this be so public but our uh our office did have some of these cards and we passed them to business owners
but we didn't were very loud about it because it felt like that was like the best way to do things right >> now we're in a very different environment climate than we were then um
so you know touch base with him what's the best way to get that out of because that was really what we thought was like the that that those are the people that are coming to us what we use their employees and and whatnot. Um so we can make sure that the cards that
Lindsay does have available which what she said are things that you're seeing like best practices. Okay, that would be great. Thank you very much. and let us know if there's anything you need from us at any visit. Um, you know, I think my email is on
there. So, thank you. >> In the meantime, if folks are looking for that information, where should they go? >> Um, in terms of our No, in terms of the know your rights, so um redcard.com, there's redcardinfo.com.
>> New Jersey has a website also with the million rights page. Yeah, you can just download them, print them or order them. >> Thank you. Thanks for asking. Cyber 39 Harvard Avenue. Thank you all for all you do our town helping us
maintain this beautiful community. Just want to add on a couple things to you said. First of all, you're the first town county to adopt this resolution as you navigate for us to go to town and say um which is not unusual. uh regarding
the know your rights uh I have a list of resources that I'm happy to share that we share with in our training situations that provide resources for u people and um impacted individuals which we're happy to share. We also do provide
training your rights trainings in our organization um which we're happy to share. I'm wondering and Denise I'm not sure if this was your question so I understand how you are making that information available businesses I did see in like Sarah what not the red cards
um but I was also wondering about respect because there's a lot of people who aren't coming out and as we know around the country and so I didn't know is it possible to whether post something
in the fire just a list of them you Right. I don't know what the legal lines are for those sort of obviously for you. Um and or would be cost money. Um but the other
thing too is we have and I don't know that is a good place to just have some information available for people to die. um that that we don't have a table
and I don't know if they even but >> you can get a community group space if you're a registered 501c3 in New Jersey. Um and we offer them at a low cost to any community organizations. So there's
still a little bit of time if you reach out soon. event is normally there and they have there's only one or two. >> Yeah, Norcross joins us their office at their table.
is who we usually >> and it will make I think the town and I do understand the whole thing about keeping your head down to to some degree although New Jersey is going to this is Philadelphia now anyway with some of the news that's coming out of our policies
um as but I do think that reaching out to residents will I guess as long as you present it in as a neutral way so that it doesn't offset people that they know what their rights are. It's always two people living in
the United States and then wake up. I'm very sorry for so much. There's no more public comments. Uh we're going to do our full action items at the beginning because we have some primary uh what commissioner
commissioner with u meeting. So we're going to do the resol beginning and then get through as many discussion items as well. All right. The first reading ordinance 1834 amending chapter 141
massage establishments. So, real quick, this came out of the last working meeting uh talking about some of the rules that we've got in place about massage establishment and have and examples from other townships that have oversight over massage
establishment and what we could do to be uh more amendable to the >> second reading. I believe there is another as long as there's 10 days. >> So the second reason will be J. That would be
>> it has to go advertised online. So >> that's right. >> Yeah. Mr. M. >> Yes. >> Commissioner Henderson Riley. >> Yes. >> Mayor Board. >> Yes. >> No. No. Sign.
>> Oh, no. No sign. >> Um, follow directions and referring organiz 34 to the planning board for consistency. >> Yes. >> Yes. Yes. So that's referring what we just talked about those orders to the
planning board and they are Banning US immigration also enforcement on borrowed property. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Approving 14 market agreement between the burrow and
burrow and contract purchaser 627. >> Yes. >> Yes. So that is uh the parking lot and the Ocean Bay property. This is moving forward and finally closing that business application to the NAPA
for the H SRF 713 Atlanta. Yes. >> Is that the brush? >> Yes. So that's applying to the state for funding to help with the environmental cleanup of the former TBW garage that because of the oils, the zany of
gasoline and diesel that are there and some thinking about that and hopefully we're looking for some state support for that >> and who knows what else >> and who knows what a grant application. I just do that. I'm sorry. >> Approving urban environment engineers
design and planning proposal for the commonly a WP project by >> Yes. >> Yes. Yes. >> Oh, there's no >> Yes. Thank you. >> Uh, do you want to come up because I
think you first Um, all right. I was asked to give an update on Mayfair planning and how that's going. So, Mayfair is produced by Collins Partners, which is our bid. Um, it's mainly organized by Kelsey Polar, my colleague in the bid office. Um, she
does community organization, sponsors, large vendor building, food vendors, layout, finance, admin, marketing, a large portion of it. Um Sabrina Henning is on um the team to organize all of our craft vendors. He Bicus from Columns of
Music does all of our music booking and sound. And Kim Ray Well from All Fired Up handles all of our volunteers and all their sign up. And I do graphics marketing, some layout, and um on hand day usually because Kelsey does all the background stuff and then on the day off
we let her off the hook to enjoy the festival. >> There has to be that. >> Yes. Um, so currently we're right on track with organization. This is the 45th year of the Mayfair, so it's pretty, you know, um, I don't say rinse and repeat, but it's successful for what
it is, so we don't change too much. Uh, we currently have 205 crafters booked. We have 26 total sponsors booked at a total of $14,200. Um, we are looking to increase that number because versus last year, we ended up with 225.
We are seeing this across the board. This year with sponsorships, it has been a little rush um for obvious reasons. So, we are continuing to look for that. Um all large vendor booking like our stage, our tents, all of that big stuff has been completed or is in progress of being completed. All of our food vendors
have been booked through our end. Um, many of them do still need to complete their Canon County Health certification and certification for our fire department, which will be on the day >> their inspection will be on the day of they file their permits with us before the event to do all the administrative work for the department.
>> Yes. Um, so that's kind of on there now that we have all our people booked. Uh, music and sound has all been booked. We'll be confirming the lineup by next week so we can start promoing stuff. Um, our greatest need as with any event is volunteers right now. Were you able to
touch base with longer genius and then the afternoon portion just didn't even populate. So I was hoping it's there. >> Okay. >> So currently we have 10 people signed up to volunteer. We need like 50. So we need a lot more. I will say we usually
have many high school students sign up that help out in the morning. Um so we usually have morning shows covered. It's afternoon where we usually really need help. We are looking to partner with some organizations like Danielle said to see if we can fill that. But that is just something across the board with all of our events that we can always, you
know, use more hands. Um, DPW is always a massive help on the day of Mayfair. They really work all day and police as well. So, they're a big help, but we need people to kind of help the vendors out and, you know, clean up after everybody, make sure everything moves along. Um, that's where we're at with
that. So, it's pretty on track. And there's a sign up for people to sign up to volunteer like independently. >> Yeah, that's on our website. It has been shared on like community groups. It's on our social. We put it in a prior. There's a QR code. So, it's been really
pushed out as much as we can. Um, we will probably do an just to try to wrangle up any anybody we can. But it's fun and you get a t-shirt and we feed you. >> Yeah. >> So, come volunteer for us. Definitely. >> Do you often get um just a question on
the sponsorships? It makes a lot of sense because of finances everywhere. In the past, have you gotten sponsors closer like from now because it's not sponsored? >> Yes, we usually have people come in last minute. Um we are at the point right now where so our deadline was technically like a month ago. Yeah, we are never
going to turn away a sponsorship. Our major deadline is because in order to get things printed on like t-shirts and stuff, we have to get stuff into production. So we do have a line where if people want to come in we absolutely invite them but we let them know like you missed out on the stuff you know we can't do this I mean the most
okay so we do tend to get some uh late um you know a little more work for but gives us a little more money in the end. >> Yep. Um Junth. So the biggest thing about June 10th right now is that we moved the initial date that it was
scheduled for. So it was initially scheduled for the first >> um which beer can't do who's a major component of our planning committee. The that Saturday was a week or no that
Saturday could do Sunday's father's day which we have done in the past and really affected our attendance. So, we're are going to do it on Junth because Junth is a Friday and so why not do it on the day of. Um, it's a different day than Camden is doing theirs. So, Cherry Hill is doing theirs and they're the two other big ones in
the area. Be Friday evening, right? Friday evening. So, we're going to do 5 to 8. Um, same location down urban and in the Thran parking lot. Um, so that event is organized largely by myself and then Fedra and Chandler who has been a partner with us since the inception of
this event. This was good this year because we were allowed to use the budget line for the event contractor to take her on again for this. So, thank you for that. She's a big help. Um, all of our performers for the day are booked. We always have somebody sing the national anthem, the black national
anthem, um, a spiritual or two. We have our very popular 40 plus double Dutch crew coming back out. They're always a favorite. We have Mr. Boom Boom. I really happy I just got to say that on a show.
So, but he's awesome. He does drum circles for kids. So, it's going to be like an hourong drum circle um interactive thing for kids adults. So, that will be awesome. Um we have a local band from Camp Sound Ever who's going to be closing us out for the last hour and
we'll have a DJ. Um we are hoping to be able to link up with Marcus from later up to do some cross promotion there as well. And then we are also partnering with the schools again to do um our activity. We mostly partner with Zaki who is the vice president of the school
board. Yes. Now uh Claudia Mastrobono, Disa Cohen and Meredith Hal Turner. They organize an inschool art activity that spans all elementary schools and ideally the secondary campus. Um so that each student gets to participate and then
they put it together in a way that we can display it at the event. So we've done that in the past couple years. So, they're going to be doing that as well. Um, all of the vendors, the food vendors, and the community organizations are being booked. We have a vendor fair as well. So, that's all happening.
>> Volunteer signs for that after mainfair. All of our main fair volunteer. And then, >> and we need much less for this. We really need a crew of like 10 good people for this one. Um, as opposed to like 50. >> So, we'll say 20
round. Um, so yeah, less of a lift, right? But >> really exciting to have this in the evening, especially since it's been, you know, hot the other years. So, it's nice to have it. >> Yeah, we've had good business feedback about Friday night events. So, that's another thing I think it'll be good for the downtown.
>> Um, if you said this, I apologize if I missed it. Sponsors. Thank you. >> Sponsors. We do. Yes, we don't do as many because the cost of it is a little less, but we do go after sponsors. We do have UMC um locked in for a sponsorship.
Again, we have pitched to some other people that we're waiting to hear back from. It's generally part of our larger sponsors yearly plans. We put it in the ones who we have a yearly sponsorship with often takes them to team sponsorship. So, UFC was very generous
last year and was our stage sponsor and allow us to stage. Do we have a stage like on I'm sure we have a running list of things that people to buy if you ever had extra money don't ever have but like is a stage on that list somewhere
because we yeah we yeah to like I used to borrow the stage from the county and that work out but then we got it from Belmar for a long time but their stage was taken out of commission. We did talk to them about purchasing it from them but it was truly beyond repair. Um, we
looked at purchasing one as opposed to renting one last year to rent some numbers and at the time we got enough events that we use it for. >> Right. >> Part of the reason I'm glad that we're doing this this way is because it actually allows us to get a little bit of a smaller stage this year. We had to get a very big one last year. We had a
dance ensemble stuff and it was um it was quite a large expense. So part of the reason we decided to do it this way too is that we we can scale that down a little bit, spend some of that budget elsewhere rather than just on stage. Thank you.
Okay. Back there. Um, so this came from a resident just texted me because she wanted to find the videos, but >> yeah, she um there's no live option. >> She sent me some comments. Should I
share those? I think we should probably matter at the large and what what the like what our side of it then >> but then it's fine to share >> okay if she's expressed that >> yeah the case isn't shared at the beginning I should text me but I didn't
see it she goes back to so um the issue of these uh background checks for volunteers who are working with children in burough refuge so I don't know the full history here
but my the this resident who I met um shared with me that she uh works in this field and uh I didn't know anything about this but that she had u falsely given information about being a volunteer recreation and using I guess
paying of a registered sex offender and was approved obviously uh we're dealing a gap in our approval. So what are we currently doing? What are the standards and how can we address this gap? So, who knows what we're currently doing for
recreation background checks? >> Question. >> Yeah. So, currently we are using a uh one of the approved third party vendors of our insurance company. So, I think there's five companies. I forget the name of the one we're using, but it is a >> true view maybe. Yeah,
>> it's a name based system. So, how that process works is the coaches will supply names of the rest of the coaches to recreation department. That goes over to HR. HR provides a list of email addresses to True View who then sends out emails to the people who said
they're going to volunteer. They fill out this name-based application. They do a background check on their end and that return comes back. So there are some gaps in that system with a name based system. So that is the process we currently use. Uh in addition to that,
they have to watch a video that's required by our insurance company as well. But the so I think that one of the the comments that uh this parent and you know professional in this field have made so we don't have it's an it's an honor to somebody watch you have a email
back saying I've done it. Um, so we were curious as to whether that could be, you know, a screenshot or is there there's a way to have like a, you know, some I I've done these for other townships and other rules. Sometimes it's like a quiz at the end and you have to have a certificate and there's like different
levels of the what are >> so currently the video is just a video that plays there is no completion at the end of it or any any confirmation that you actually watched the video. >> We can ask it's provided by Joe. Okay. So we can ask them to require replace or
>> I think that would be and I'm sure the the research that this resident had made is that is it just a colleague problem like this a big issue? Um so maybe something that we could bring up as a g like this may be something that further recommendations having confirmation that
the parents or the coaches actually complete the thing. >> So I did reach out to Jeff too. they have an online learning management system that would be able to provide that confirmation. I've asked them if there was any way they could put the video up on that, provide a link to people to go to take it. So then there'd be at least some proof that you watched
it. I haven't heard back yet, but I did ask them about it. >> Yeah. when employees there's like a little like they get a confirmation that they won't like you know another level >> specific about why or how
>> you looked into >> so getting I I have to connect with Betty Joe to find out if what information she gets back as far as what information we provided True True View because it's a third party company. >> I'm not sure where we are in the process
of getting any kind of return from True View as to >> the email address provided and the name that was given. So that's we're working through trying to find out how that happens. >> If you can figure out where where the gap is
>> is it every level of of offender is ineligible. I'm not sure what parameters the the J puts in. >> Yes, whatever we're compliant in in checking for whatever we need. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Just curious about >> Yeah, certain levels probably would be
eligible. However, I don't know what they have as far as GS required. >> And I I I think I'm understand we're following what we're supposed to be doing. We're compliant. However, if there are holes in the system that then let a registered sex offenders may
become a volunteer or not. uh what can we do and I know there was an email exchange etc like is if it would be increased cost or if there's an additional layer of screening that we put on top even though we're already following we're saying this even though we're compliant like this isn't good
enough for us like how can we be a leader in this space um I asked my husband about because my husband was a rec soccerer coach last year he's like oh yeah they asked me to to watch committee like I never did and it's not a regime vendor he's like but I never wrote anything back and never got any information so it does feel that there's
there's space here for improvement. So what could we take? Could we just have an email chain about this? What what could we do as next steps? Because this parent was pretty sturd by it. >> I think the Jim will be interested in type there's a gap in it changing all
the policies, right? >> But like I said, I think the first thing is like what's the gap? >> Yeah. >> What was is it something the way it was filled out? Is it, you know, or is it no, this name just didn't come up that way or like, you know, or they screwed
up. So, it's John Doe and John Doe should be there. And >> there's always going to be a level of vulnerability with a namebased background check. So, there is that level of vulnerability. Anyway, I don't know what that percentage would be. Again, my recommendation to the commission, >> what's up? social like getting socials
off of people or what what's >> so if you have information to provide that is inaccurate you could find that information and provide inaccurate information whereas fingerprints are you you can't beat that your fingerprints are your fingerprints so that would have a zero vulnerability as far as providing
false information but it comes at a cost >> that is printing it's fingerprint >> and I gave recommendation with that as well >> yes so to answer so further it just could require higher compliance standards that have followed. But when they put this all in place like 21, we
had like a meeting and went through what's the checklist we need to so we can do the same thing. We're going to add things to it. >> You don't have to follow the chip. Just saying share with them there doing it like if there is gaps. >> Exactly. Not just but like any other
town. Sure. Um the other thing that I was thinking is if there is a cost like there was something in this email about $8 for something you ask the volunteer coaches to pay the $8. you want to be a coach, it's eight bucks. Well, that's for the Sorry, that's for the base, right? That's what we pay for like the
compliance level. >> So, as it stands now, I think it's around $4 and maybe $4 for fingerprinting that I believe the recreation department might absorb. I don't know that coaches pay that. The fingerprinting >> fingerprinting would be I think was $25.38
or something like that. So, there would be an increased cost. >> That's all. Uh, so I think one thing to consider part of one of the complaints from from this resident was that she got feedback that oh you're you're good from last
year so you don't have to do it this year. >> Okay. So is that something we can also because from year to year think okay that >> so the GIF currently doesn't have a requirement for number of years typically what I've seen in looking is the three years. So you would be good for three years when you're
fingerprinted and then that would be cover you for that time period. You just have to keep an expiration date and then when they expire if their name comes up you would have to make sure that they go and get checked again. These are too and perhaps what we do is as a
municipality say these are some recommendations that we'd like you know if we then give to the to the gy to say this is a higher level that we think would not only protect us but others and see how they respond um and any you know whatever the repercussions are that
they're going to cause um yeah just to see how they would respond. >> Yeah. Who do you want posting in contact there? Um Tom Mel. >> So Jim, walk us through if you're going to make a recommendation to the juror and ask the you know this is something
that we think do you is it like a formal process? Do you like put in like the case? What do you >> I think I think it'd be helpful here to supply what happened that yes what happened and then they'll you know I would virtual doing stuff
right >> this is an issue we got to you know we got some >> they can all there's there's a safety and security side of the of the >> perma like all the stuff that they do that they'll go and come up with which
with a bunch required police chiefs and they'll they'll come up with you know recommendations board. So she had written to me. So can I connect her to you pass your residence so you can understand exactly what happened and where things went arise? I'm assuming it's the same.
Okay. >> Yeah. You can reward it. This is a while back but yes. Yes. So I just want to give an update on the master claims completed. We had our first meeting this past Monday downstairs. We had 25 people in person,
three online, and another like five or six that wrote in about not being able to make it, but we're excited. Um, really great background of different engineer, we had architects, we had landscape architects, we had some people from like communications realm. Um, we
had watershed uh folks. It was a really really And a resident who just moved here three weeks ago, Paddenfields, who was on their master plan steering committee. um and jumped the master plan they adopted at mid 2025. So a lot of
>> but it's it's it's good firstand firsthand knowledge of how their process work. Um so no we we putting out a larger survey there at least seven minutes. >> Okay. >> Yeah.
>> Um so we are send sent out to everybody who was on the committee. If you are a person who missed that vote, who wants to be on that boat, if you guys email me, we'll add you on, um, try and keep everybody in the loop as much as possible and we're sending a survey out on Friday to get an idea of um, what
level of involvement people want to have. It takes time. So, that committee want a subcommittee, you just want to be, you know, there to engage with folks, hopefully have more material to get more um, feedback. So that's I just wanted to give a quick update on what
was happening there. That's it. >> Both commissioners were not at that meeting. So just that they knew where that was going. They all also expressed a lot of they were very grateful that we're doing this before we have a consultant. so that all this information is getting collected beforehand so that
uh they feel that there's a way to have input before you're in that public meeting with the posters and uh exciting to engage with the material and have time to um 250
um I know you've gotten some information from New Jersey. >> I have some Um, >> it's like around the corner, but there's also May. There's all these things happening over the summer and the World
Cup and and and so make sure that they didn't catch us. >> There's some low lift stuff we could put out. Um there's like a municipal hub that gives you some ideas and they're running a couple initiatives like um a community storytelling project that
invites residents to submit things about what 250 years means to them. Something I like for us um there's a light to unite campaign which is encouraging municipalities to light up prominent buildings on July 4th as part of that
250th celebration campaign. Um, a lot of m municipalities are doing like a community service initiative kind of in the name of Yes. So, that's something um that we could look at. I think you're right. It is during a lot. Um, with the World Cup,
that's actually all the same day. So, the games in Philadelphia are on July 4th. Um, so like we could just put a screen up instead of fireworks this year and just watch the game. No, we won't do that. Um the f the big thing with the
World Cup is licensing. Um you do have to be licensed in order to show anything outdoors. So we would have to there's a portal to get licensed and we would have to look into what cost is for that. >> Jar is very obsessed has two screens. Okay.
>> I think they bought rights for two games. He said it was like less than $50. >> Oh, okay. >> So she did not like Oh yeah, we got it done. I was like what is it? Can you connect with us? Yeah, I have that portal and everything. So, we just have to I guess go through that. Um, we would
just have to figure out obviously what's the right venue, what capacity or you know how many people >> Well, we have the inflatable screen. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Just about >> and it's like a 39 day stretch. So, like what are we talking about? Are we
talking about it's inflatable, >> which is not like the ultimate best quality, you know? It's great for kids movies, but like it does blow in the wind a little bit. Um, >> sorry.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. And then another question is like >> because it's one thing to show a movie that you have like downloaded but showing a live game it might be difficult and you might need a different kind of gender.
>> Yeah, we gota I can reach out. >> Yeah. I think and the games are like at all different times. Not all of them are have some fightings. I think another thing is too look at what other
partner other municipalities are doing so we're not replicating >> too much like there's so many of us like if Hadenfield's showing these two games >> we show another game and like instead of going crazy trying to do everything >> like I'm sure the county is going to be doing stuff too so we're plugging in
maybe >> I just want to be prepared I mean the US soccer is not US men's soccer I should say US women's soccer is amazing US men's soccer does not have the best track record but if something crazy happens and we get to like the route at 16. >> Yeah. >> I want to be ready to like have a watch
party in the middle of town because everyone's been watching the game, right? Um and that just kind of happens. You just never know. >> Yeah, we had an outdoor viewing party for like the Phillies when they were in the World Series. >> I thought so many people were gonna call
>> space for questions. Um, so we know who's playing when you know who's playing when for the first round. >> Okay. >> The first round are all set and then >> you're now >> Yeah, round 16 is on July 4th. So if
they get that far, that's definitely going to be >> where they know who elimination >> now. restaurants and breweries and stuff can show it without licensing. So, we can also like talk to Raccoon and see
when they are doing it and maybe help them promote although I don't think they'll have any problems filling their space. >> I don't have going through the planning board next week. >> We talked to them about that. Yeah. >> If that if everything's perfect, will
that be in place by then? And if not, is there? >> Yeah. As soon as that gets signed, they can put in their app for that. >> If it goes to the planning board next week, we can adopt it as of the May. Fant. >> Okay. Just want to make sure we have our
duts in a row. We're not sprinting in July in the middle of summer after all those events. Um, so basketball World Cup and it's the 1050 and that's the short-term that I want to talk to Gretch about. I was actually I didn't know we allowed for um
and I know it's a process but I would like for residents to know what that process is and happy to go to Gretchen to like make it a little more user friendly but it's not me it's okay. Sorry, hold on. I do have copies of the ordinance if you want to look at
them. Yeah, I'm sure. Okay. So, I think it was more I wanted to discuss with the one with the scarves who have to um with Joyce because I with having as many games as we're having,
it's an opportunity if people want to like go to the shore house, go visit their parents, and and there's an opportunity for them to make some money by renting a home that's so close to stadiums and whatnot, uh that they at least know there are rules, but they're
in a path of putting they need to do. Uh, and just >> Yeah. Do you want the quick brief history? >> So, the quick brief history is by ordinance, rental properties can only be at a minimum a 12-month lease. So, right around COVID time, um, like there was
discussion about allowing Airbnbs, but like we're having the issues not in Collinswood, but in the region and throughout the country with the Airbnb party houses that were going on. So, we tried to find a way to regulate it um to accommodate the request to be a
short-term rental and to make it safe. Um we aside from our typical, you know, property maintenance code that we would use, there were additional regulations that were put in place about you know almost treating it similar to a hotel because it's somewhere you're going to be staying that you're not familiar
with. So, there's requirements for like egress plans, life safety systems in the house for like hardwired smoke detector systems. um like the property had to be owned by the property that was to be rented out as a
shared place. It had to be uh owner occupied. There was time limits and a lot of stuff there. Since we've passed that, there's not been a single property that has made application to us to be a short-term rental. Um, there have been times where a property has popped up on
the F where we reached out to the property owner to say, "Hey, we have a process in place for you to be able to apply to be a short-term rental. Can you please contact us to do this or or cease operations?" And they chose to, you know, cease the operations. >> Just during the the process, just to
highlight the safety issue, during the process, it just happened. We had a fire. We had a fire at um kind of down uh near the clear near first belonging building my first belonging >> and there were people just some old hat.
It's like freakish coincided uh in in the place and the they literally had to do a big time rescue out the back window um of some of a couple people because they kind of went the wrong way the
house and got stuck by fire. Um, so the the issue is simply it's really the short-term rental is really set up more for people that will do it on a more regular basis than >> right there's a one time. >> There's some investment in one time.
>> It started popping up on the PO right it was the post all time. >> Is there a costed with the client? >> Uh there is a fee. I don't know it off the top of my head because we've never had to issue it. Yeah, it's not revenue
for us. It's more to be able to like I would love to and I'm glad to work on it have like a one pager of like if you are considering this I know it happens in a lot of towns for like golf tournaments and things like that and especially as we're talking about affordability and if
you can rent your house for three days maybe it's worth going through this and making a little bit of change you know you go stay a mom or something like that I want to give people an opportunity especially with all the riatas and things that we have um It's just I wanted to make it more accessible because I I didn't know about it either
and so I brought up and was like we have that. I was like oh we do. Um so is there an is there a formal application or just contact you and then there's a list of things you need. >> We we have we have the formal application in our database. U I'm not sure if it's on the bal website or but I
can check on that. Okay. >> One just one little other issue is it's not always a very popular item with the people that live >> next door. Yeah, I hear that. >> Okay. So, people coming in for a 3-day World Cup trip.
>> Um, you know, generally aren't having quiet meditation sessions in the in the backyard. But I hear that, but my aunt lives in Beth Page, New York. And so Beth Page is where Beth Page Black is. And she lives, you know, two blocks from
the train and in it's a great little neighborhood, but kid you not, the week of of of the of the tournament. >> Sure. >> Like everyone just rents their house and makes a lot like they plan it into their budget and it's so it's just something
that I want to give people here. And if there's issues, then we'll deal with those issues. But I we have it. So let's let people know it exists. Um especially as you know, finances are tight and things are tough. So I want to give people some flexibility.
All right. So people can rent their house for the World Cup if they follow this and they contact >> and we're going to we're he's going to we're going to put the application and I'll work on like a future of like the HUD.
So, we're working on that. >> All right. We're going to lose anything. >> Can we just skip? So, there's there are four items that can skip the cannabis consumption um uh protocol. No, I'm just kidding. Um
what is the what is what's happening with the state team? Like you had mentioned something was at our last meeting and I said >> well so what we need to consider as a governing board approval there's a little form they have
to fill out that I have to sign >> right what would say that they meet our require requirements for consumption lounge which we don't have any requirements current. >> So if you want to add requirements that's right act quickly on before we
get any applications because if they submitted applications before we have requirements on books >> uh well then they're grandfathered into when they submitted their application. >> What's the deadline we have to do? >> It's already out alive. is excellent. Yes,
>> I think I think it's worth you to you want to try to >> get ahead of >> Yes. >> an applicant. Where we're at now, I don't think that the the the resale spots that we have, I don't think they have a room. >> They could do it outside. You could also have it inside.
>> You could have it outside or inside as long as they meet. >> They're pretty as long as they meet our standards, which we don't have. >> They don't have set. So there's no they weren't permitted until last August. >> Yeah. So so they so the state's taken
away our ability to say we don't want any consumption, >> right? >> So you get to retail now they got the ability to do. Okay. >> Um and so gota we got to just put something in place for it. But um >> any anything else happened with the diner? Anything? I just saw man
>> um has there been so but we still have the same controls for retail but once you do retail it's like retail and consumption all in one >> right but we still have >> you need to adopt standards for the lounge >> because now by state law you can get it back >> but you can't be allowed
right >> but you can't be at a lounge without the now lounge is not consume on site what you bought at the dispensary Okay. It's It's almost like a accessory. >> Okay. That would be >> you have to drink.
>> Very similar. Very similar to >> except if you have a medical card, you can bring your own medical. You can bring your own. If you have a medical card, right? >> There's an existing lounge in Merchantville if you want to look into how they did it. Their dispensary is one
of the first in the state that has a consumption lounge. God or somebody was like if what we're allowing what we're not allowing. We're understanding that the stasis is allowed as a municipality.
>> Yeah. >> Nothing. >> Well, I I can look to see if there's any similar regulations. I'll work with Gretchen and Ashen. Um, >> yeah. See if there suggestions.
>> There's only three that have been approved in this state because then it goes they fill we I would sign this form and then they have to show that the CRC their plans. Um, they've approved three are open and I think a fourth was
just approved but hasn't opened yet. The one is in Merchantville and I think >> in the whole state. >> Yeah. And then the other ones are in Atlantic City. >> It is. Cool. >> Yeah. So, Merchant Bill and Atlantic >> leaders here. I know I think that is that
>> there were three other things. Um the housing went there was something posted. >> It's posted. We have a date for meeting with developers for the Q&A for the right May. >> Yes, we do. >> May May something,
>> right? Yeah. So we have that set and it closes May 22nd >> and the dog license B and Joe is still looking into I mean the brief I can give is that we were looking at what we've seen is that
municipal that have it have larger system usually built into that. One thing we just hope is the amount of registrations we're receiving are very low and would not support us. You can consider a census which the state
usually require does. I remember the job >> well force more people to draw register because they'll get a letter but it certainly did the in the backyard and then basically it
>> they went up and knocked really hard and then it hurt >> but usually you know if dogs are there any correct >> so It's a choice now. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> On this issue. >> Yeah. >> I know that judges got back. I would just love to see what that talk is and if possibly some you know >> and then >> any more guidance on AI
on that I know we had written written to you about this like trying to think it's like so concerned about being so quickly in the space as we all know just trying to keep us protected as >> so we have our policy that's pretty much that what we've done is looked at uh and
there's there's uses to you know too. Lindsay is looking at pricing for professional uh professional membership. >> Yeah. Because the framework is very limited. >> Oh yeah yeah yeah.
>> Right. So there, you know, we could possibly invest in >> is that through our barberations. want to bring a motion. Make a motion.
All right. You might >> just so that closer because
