[applause] >> [applause] [applause] >> I'd like to call this meeting to order. Adequate notice that this meeting was provided in accordance with chapter 231 public law 1975. I'd like to introduce Senator Michael El Ta Jr. State Senate Senator uh from
first district and he's going to lead the flag salute. >> We could all stand please. >> Flag is there. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Good evening everyone. The invocation this evening will be performed by [clears throat] Reverend Benjamin Okasio of the Rock of Salvation Church.
Pastor Okasio, could you please lead us in prayer? Absolutely. >> Heavenly Father, we just thank you for this day you've given us. We thank you for this new year, Lord, that has started. Lord, uh tonight, Lord, we present to you the Cland County Board of
Commissioners. Lord, we pray Lord that you would just guide them, give them wisdom, Lord, they'll be able to work in harmony, Lord, for the community, Lord, and the county, Lord. We ask for your blessings. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. And amen. Thank you.
>> You know, pastor, I've been told that in the past that something that you don't ever want to give a man of the cloth is the microphone because they take a long time. That was very brief. And we thank you for that. [laughter] We thank you for that. Lou was used to being in this room many
moons ago and he he's still in the habit of speaking in this room apparently. It's good to see you Lou. It's >> always a pleasure. So look, tonight's a momentous night. I get to welcome you all here. Happy New Year to each and every one of you. Uh this is a new year.
It's also a time of renewal. A time of renewal for our government. Our government looks a little bit different today than it did last year at this time. And I have to say this, you know, the letters that are next to the names of these commissioners and commissioners elect,
they don't matter this evening. And they don't matter when you get to govern because once you're elected, you govern everyone in Cumberland County. You govern everyone in your legislative district. And our governor elect is here and she's going to be governing everyone in our state.
>> And that's the beauty of it. We have to put aside our political differences and you get to governing. And I know that these seven individuals are going to do their very best to govern Cumberland County and we have a lot to be proud of in Cumberland County. I'm going to keep
my remarks extremely brief. I did have the opportunity to speak to Senator John Berserichelli. He could not be here. He also represents a portion of Cumberland County. He sends his regards to each and every one of you. I spoke to him about two hours ago. he would have the
distinction of introducing Governor Elect Mikey Cheryl. But because he is not here, I get to do that. And this is really a remarkable time for Cumberland County. I don't know that we've ever had a Governor elect introducing and and administering the oath of office as we
get to have here tonight. So 2026 is getting started off on a very unique and momentous foot. And with that, I will introduce Governor Elect. >> [applause] [applause] [applause] >> And Lou, I'll bring you back into the
conversation. You know this, she's not the first Mikey of Cumberland County. You know that. So, [laughter] >> just so you know, she's my first. >> That's fine. noted. >> Really pleasure. Thank you. >> Appreciate it. Thank you.
>> Wow. What an honor to be here on the 250th anniversary of our wonderful nation. Um how wonderful [applause] as we begin this year. And thank you so much, Senator. You know, you we have
long shared a focus on expanding manufacturing. you've um I think spoken to some of the work to the community colleges with the work we've done up in my old congressional district and I really I know we're probably going to have some things we disagree on, but I'd love to find those spaces we can agree
so we can both continue to serve the people of New Jersey together um because I know we both care deeply about that. So, thank you. [applause and cheering] Thank you. And it's really an honor to be here um with so many wonderful people. Uh I'm really excited for our
swearing in. Um it's uh it's great to see new people engage uh here in public service and it's great to see all the people who have been here uh serving the people so well. I so I'm really excited about that. We'll get to that. But I also uh just want to say hi and thank
you to Kevin McCann. Thank you so much. Um and it's wonderful uh Carlos who recently retired from your long service in the FNBA as a firefighter. Thank you. [applause] So, we've we've just seen I think um so many people who've worked so hard for
our country and our state and these these swearing ins are so meaningful to me as you see people once again standing up to take the oath. And so, um I am going to follow the lead of people who've spoken here, our pastor and our senator, and not go on for too long. But
I will just say I hope when you hear the oath that people are standing up to take it gives you the same chills it always gives me even after I've heard it for so many different years because what it says to me is somebody is standing up and pledging their time and their effort and their energy to you to all the
people here in Cumberland County so they can try to make your life better and so they can try to find a path forward here in sometimes troubling times so that our families feel more secure, have more success and your kids have more opportunity. community. I'm really excited to do this tonight and thank you Cumberland County for the wonderful
welcome. I really appreciate it. Thank you all. [applause] [applause] >> So, we're going to have the certification of election of John Capazola. >> YEAH. [applause] Uh

It's very meaningful to me, and I'm sure it's meaningful to this board as well. I would like to to thank the board for their support in my nomination as deputy director. As most
of you probably know, I served in this role last year. I look forward to continuing in this role, and my goal is always very, very simple, to do the best I can for the people of Cumberland County. So, thank you very much. [applause] >> Call to order the newly reconstituted board for the year 2026.

Anybody [applause] else? Thank you very much. Um, I'm Robert Goodale. Some of you might remember me as Warren Bicki. I looked around the crowd. I didn't see anybody that I knew professionally,
so I was relieved at that. Um but I want to tell you um you are getting two very hardworking, dedicated people that I tried to run into the ground and I couldn't and we
knocked on thousands of doors and we learned a lot about what people in the county want and I'm very proud of both of them for willing to jump into this that everybody doesn't really want to,
but it's important because there's a lot of work that needs to be done here. And uh so I just wanted to let you know you're getting a good deal here. So, thank you. [applause] [clears throat] >> Is there a residency report? >> Good evening. Uh actually, it says um
open to the public. Senator, it's great to see you. >> Always good to see >> and clerk and congratulations director. Uh my name is Lou Magazoo. Uh formerly of Cumberland County. I'm now in an over 55 community. It's uh in Glboro, but my heart is still here. Uh
what I wanted to say, uh I'm also here on behalf of the CEO group in a non-political way. uh and the top 60 businesses in Cumberland County and wanted to offer all 70 of you uh our support uh in success because in reality as the senator said um Democrats and
Republicans the labels end today [snorts] uh in a real way because frankly there's no Democrat way to provide services or no Republican way to provide taxes on a local level uh maybe on a state level on a federal level but here people want good services and low
taxes. It's really simple. as deputy director kind of alluded to. Uh director, you've got the greatest honor in the world. U and certainly that's how I felt in the 12 years that I was here in a few years that I was director. Um and uh you I'm sure will do a fine job and uh the businesses of the CEO group
uh would love to have you come and speak with us and once you have a sense of what your plan is and uh uh whatever we can do for support. Uh I was thinking in my memory of the 12 years I was here and I had Jim Floyer swear me in, but he wasn't governor. Uh, and I had Jeff Van
Andrew swear me in as director, but he had changed since then in some way, shape or form. But, uh, uh, and they were both memorable. Um, it's a blessing to be in this country and we can fight like cats and dogs in
November, but we have a country that still honors Constitution, honors the importance of the people, and we have the capacity to remember that we're neighbors and we're all children of God. So thank you and director God bless
[applause] [laughter] uh Sandy Aso Upper Deerfield Township. Congratulations. Um, I'm assuming that the uh pro the commissioners uh will use their time to bring the newly elected commissioners up
to speed as to the state of the county. I feel this is a perfect time for the public to get updates [snorts] on all projects, resolutions, and items in play affecting the taxpayers and citizens of
Cumberland County. I'm sure, as you're all aware, the largest city in Klingan County has been rocked by a lack of transparency and the audacity that closed doors deals
often perpetuate by that type of governing. So, I'm sure the uh Cumberland County citizens will welcome a Cumberland County Commissioner board that is not only being transparent,
but being forthcoming with information that directly or indirectly affects taxpayers. Uh we demand and look forward to a time of renewal
as the senator spoke of that benefits all of us. Thank you. [applause] Uh, first off, I want to say congratulations to all the newly elected officials. Uh, Larry from Vinland. Um, I just want to talk about two things
real quick. Uh, currently ICE has been hitting up regurgitated Milville pretty hard. I would like to see an ITA somewhere past to protect our citizens. And secondly, the AI data center in Vinland. Uh, Vinland didn't really get a say. They kind of just put in a newspaper article that was justification by our wonderful attorney that was in a
newspaper article and Milville doesn't have a say either and it's within their radius they'll be affected. I just want to put it out there like we just do not have a say in anything. That's all. Thank you. [applause] Uh Victor Bermudez, PBA local 231 at the
jail. Uh Warren Bicki of Good Dale. Uh Astino work with everybody. Just [clears throat] uh want to come up here on behalf of my members and you know congratulate the newly incoming commissioners. Uh hopefully we'll still have an open door policy to everybody up
there on what's going on with the jail. Uh some transparency, keep it keep it up up going and with the new uh warden that we have, we're having great great reception with him. He's doing great by us. So, uh, we just want to know what's
going to be happening with the Camden, Atlantic County, Cumberland, and I don't know who else project possibly coming up, and we would like to be a part of that as we have a membership and people that work in this community to uh, answer to and to uh, take care of our
children. So hopefully in the future we can uh, meet with each and every one of you if any of you have questions. Cap, I know I got meeting with you, get you up to date from where we were years ago. So, I appreciate all the um Romero
Sorrow, everybody. Marawn Taylor, Austinino, he's been in the game a while, so he already know what's going on with the jail. So, he's been right in there. So, I hopefully we continue that. And I appreciate you guys. Thank you. [applause] >> Any other public comments?

>> Just motion second. Discussion is okay. So we'll do >> capola. discussion. Great discussion. >> So, I I guess I'll start. So, we just were
when it [clears throat] comes to committees, we just would like to have a little bit of say. We understand that we're new uh to the board here, but we would like to uh have an opportunity at least have a discussion uh for discussion about uh what assignments we're going to have. So, that's why we haven't pulled off the cons.
>> Not only that, but there are different expertise on this board. I myself different to this position and the people have voted me in. So I would like to be able to use my expertise in different categories and I was only given one assignment. I said I didn't
find out about this yesterday assignment. So I am asking that this be table to the next meeting so that we have an opportunity to discuss the assignments because it seems very uneven. >> Motion to close discussion second.
All >> no commission. >> No. >> Commissioner, >> yes. >> Commissioner, >> yes. >> Mar, yes. >> Director, >> yes. >> Great job, guys. >> Amazing. >> Working together.
>> [clears throat] >> Commissioner Director. >> Yes. >> Director Taylor. >> Yes. Resolution 2026 resolution establishing the 2026 board commission on member assignments. >> Motion.
>> Same thing. same argument again to bring different expertise to this uh this and many many years of experience. I myself have 33 years worth of state government experience and I got married few assignments overseeing other departments or leas I was formerly on the board of
uh college of South Jersey. When a daughter of a granddaughter correction officer, daughter of a correction officer, special [cough and clears throat] correction officer have expertise to offer. Near is not going to be choice of any assignment. So therefore, I ask that this be table for the next meeting. >> Motion to close discussion.
>> I'm I want to say something too. Um we also understand that things can change and this is things are not written stone. I've talked to a few people. We just pulled this off the consent agenda just so it was out in the open and with all transparency that we just want to make sure we have discussion and
hopefully there are changes that can be >> here some discussions going to bring up that my concern the election board I think that should be bipartisan [clears throat] [applause] >> motion to close discussion Commissioner, >> yes.
>> Deputy Director, >> yes. >> Director Taylor, >> yes. >> Resolution 262 regular monthly motion. >> Motion [clears throat] second. Um I would like to see that we have
regular [clears throat] meetings and work meetings during the summer. We need we have vendors that need to be paid and the people have voted and expect transparency as to who is paid and what is paid. So I am asking that we put on the July and August month work meeting.
[applause] Mr. Ridgeway, we did have a discussion about how we're going to pay our bills. Do you want to >> Yeah, sure. >> Speak to that, please. >> Um, so years back, we had a statuto process where we run bills on a weekly basis and we the process was that the CFO, the administrator, and the
commissioner director would sign off on the bill list weekly so that we can pay our vendors frequently. And then at each meeting in the bill list, we would have copies of anything that was paid so that the board ratify that we follow the process. Um lately we've been doing it or paying billless uh traditionally like
how most municipal governments do. The counties are afforded the ability to pay weekly just because we have that much more spending, that much more business and this way we stay with the prop payment act. So we the idea was that we can get back to paying bills on a weekly basis. So, I think if that's a piece of
the conversation as to how frequent meeting should be, I just want to let you know like that's part of what we intend to do and we can keep all the commissioners apprised of what's going on. But when we pay the bills, it's for obligations that we've already incurred. So, anytime that we give a contract,
like it's going to come before you to authorize the contract and then as invoices come in under that contract, we've already have that legal obligation to pay them. Um, so I just wanted to explain that because it it seemed important in the conversation that you guys are having. >> That's why we had it pulled off consent
agenda. We want to make sure members are being paid on a timely manner. That was the only reason that we hadn't had that discussion. Actually, this is kind of spotty. Uh, we talked about this earlier tonight and she assured me that everyone gets paid. That's all we're really making sure [cough] to vote on the resolution.
>> So, we can we close discussion. >> Motion to close discussion. >> Second favor. resolution. >> Commissioner >> with that explanation. Yes. >> Commissioner. >> Commissioner Ostino.
>> Yes. >> Commissioner Saw. Yes. >> Commissioner Romero. >> Yes. >> Deputy Director Mar. >> Yes. >> Director Taylor. Yes. At this time, I would just like to um thank Jim Sorro
for his past leadership and dedication [applause] here. The previous court and the staff last year, they for all their hard work. To my fellow commissioners and county staff, I look forward to working together as a united team. This is key
to our success. I'm confident that by working together, we will build a better future for the county. Thank you for this incredible opportunity. It's an honor and a privilege to serve as a director. And I um want to thank my family for always standing by my side
and supporting me. And God bless. Have a good night. [applause] >> Second. All in >> favor? Where's your >> This has been a QVC television production [music] in association with our partners and sponsors. QBC
