>> Yes. >> Lock Arbor. >> Yes. >> And Ocean. >> Yes. >> Okay. Don Old Business. >> Okay guys, Stonewater Mass, we're getting close. We got moving. If you notice in the bill paying, there was a $50,000 check sent out to Precise for
the first payment to get us over the $160,000 hump so the state and so we can get a check for $200,000. We're hoping all this moves fast. We've asked for expedited work from the D. Keep your fingers crossed. Um I think the check
was set. Is that correct, Jesse? >> Yes. Yes. I think they should have received it. I sent it last we've had >> brought it to the post office last Friday. Thank you. Um Steve, you got anything on the incind that you and I were beating our heads against the wall? You want to say anything?
>> You know, basically DP asked for a bunch of additional details and >> uh we basically complied with what they asked for. Um >> worked that out. that included um
>> that in included some additional details on the mammoth um clonet sampling >> but they were very gracious in giving the information to us. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Yeah, we put it in I don't know we corrected the final numbers but you know
we're right in line with what we had said we're going to do. So yeah and most cases were above >> which is great. So anyway, and unfortunately I spent an hours putting information into the system and it all got wiped out in one fell swoop. So I
don't know what happened. >> Ricky ended up putting it in. So um Ricky was great on on getting it back in. So thank thank you to Ricky our our CFO. Um it seems like the financial officer has to put all the financial stuff in even the inind stuff uh under
his name. So that's that. Uh, Peter, you have anything on on your end? >> Yeah, I will. Just so the commission members and the public know what's really happening. Um, the bill list with the $50,000 to precise was important. What Don and Steve are talking to you
about is important. And the reason for that is that um I'll start from the middle of my report first. It appears that the project construction bid has not been formally authorized to proceed by D until
the Sage project and financial status >> swallow it >> submissions were approved. So we've virtually been waiting more than six weeks again. This is like the third or fourth time we've had a 6 to 8 week wait for the D to approve something that they
gave to us said to submit it. We submitted it and then they go through a variety of uh iterations and reviews and approvals uh before we are authorized to proceed. So, basically what's happened is we modified the project task list. We talked about that at the last meeting.
That allowed us to um extend our grant agreement until July 1st uh without construction, just the design, the purchase, and the uh being ready for the installation. The installation contract
was separate. We put that out to bid. You approved it. We haven't gotten authorization for the installation to occur yet, but once our submissions are completed and authorized by D, we will get that uh authorization to install.
Um, contractor submitted shop drawings of the MTDs for our review. We approved the shop drawings, sent them back to the contractor. I know they've been in contact with old Old Castle. We have as well. I know it's going to work. I know
everything's going to be approved. D has told us it's going to be approved, so they're not going to hold money back at the end, but we're still very cautious about authorizing the manufacturer to fabricate these units in case something bad happens. I know Steve agrees with me
on that. It's something we've gone through before. U but they are starting work on it. Um and we await formal authorization from D to proceed with the project. That's really where we are right now. And it's all been held up for the last six to eight weeks because of
their formality. >> People may not understand what we're talking about when we talk about the SAGE system. If you have any questions on it, call Steven Meyer at our office. He'll tell you what it is. It's called the system for administering grants electronically.
>> And when you hear that and you see the word electronically, you know exactly what's happening. We submit it electronically. They say, "Oh, you didn't submit all the information. You have to go back and redo it." And that's what Don, Steve, and um Ocean Township have been doing for the past eight weeks.
>> Yep. >> Very frustrating. >> Question is, >> well, did they give you a kind of this should take >> because I understand manufacturing you can't say yes to them until they say yes to you. Did they give you any timetable to say yes to you?
>> Nope. >> Well, yeah, we have a deadline. The end of July, we got to be done with this whole shebang. We have to be done with the purges, billing, and submission to D by July 31st. >> Our clock keeps running. >> Yeah.
>> And the clock, right? The clock ends right there. So, we're >> and they're they're critical. And I just asked them officially in writing. I said, "You guys got to expedite things. We need you to work as a team for us to to to do it because we're a lot of people are on vacation. I'm going to
scout camp in July. I mean, there's people going to be away. So, you know, we got to work in between those issues and uh you know, we just can't get a an email that says I'm out of the office, which we've been getting quite often. So, anyway, uh with that said, I if any no more questions like to move on to the
next topic. Uh shoreline protection, education. Uh my big issue here is I just got my head handed to me yesterday at the um zoning zoning board ocean township. I personally was battling a property on next to the lake Corley's
and Corley's and South Edge Mir. It's right by Milan Farms and it's an empty lot that was the trees were cut. Half the trees were cut maybe more. Um and that was in preparation for what what happened last night which was they voted
to allow a seven sevenbedroom house uh to be per built in that spot and uh we weren't happy about it. the D we believe um they needed variance of of of for width sight width which isn't horrible usually they grant that but there were
so many other items we thought would be important but not important to that board um but the bottom line is D is going to make that call we think they made a positive call for him and I'm asking for all the paperwork from them and I might have a motion for you at next meeting to do something about it
but right now I'm just trying to get the data together and show it to Steve and go over with them um and see where we go. But I I I'm not happy. I'm not the D. I talked to Lake A Pacon. The state has never given them any information and
we're actually meeting with the commissioner next month. Um and we're going to bring that up to him. We we want to be in the loop on any major, you know, any kind of um shoreline issue um grant, you know, waiver waiverss on the lake. We want to know about it. We
should we should have at least ability to look at and review the final analysis um and give them an opinion in in a couple weeks, months, whatever. Um but we should be in the loop on that. >> Don, since you since you >> chose to present this information to the
DA commission, I think you should very carefully tell the DA commission that you did not testify on behalf of the DA commission, but simply as a >> I testified as Don Brockl neighbor. I literally I got noticed. It's I'm within 200 feet of the project.
So I I was officially noticed. I did not mention DA um at all actually. Uh which was amazing. I did talk about the sludge that was dump taken out when I was a kid uh and put in >> put in the pipe put in that location and it was all filled with lake muck. So
that whole land mass is lake muck from the 60s, believe it or not. But anyway, that's a little history there. All right, that's it from me. Um any questions on that? Okay, goose remediation. I I you know, we did pretty good. I don't see many baby geese
floating around. I don't have any official numbers for anybody, but I think we did pretty good. I saw a couple babies uh but not a massive amount. Anybody else see anything? >> Nope. >> I did see as I was driving um a whole it
must have been it looked like six or seven almost full like the the babies growing into full size. >> Where was that? Where was that? >> Near um uh what is it? Nicks. It was near Deer Lake at that point.
>> Yeah, there's two there's a couple of them over there. I mean, there's I only saw two of be honest with you, >> right? And I saw like seven almost full grown and two parents. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, we might miss >> like a family was missed is what I'm saying. But if that's all I'm saying,
that's not a lot. >> Yeah, it wasn't too bad. So that that's great. Great to hear. Um, the summertime cleanup, I think. What date did we have it in? August, correct? Uh, >> I thought we said August 9th, was it? Do you still want to stick with that date? >> I don't I don't know if that's the date.
I don't have my calendar handy on >> I had Let me look on. I thought it was August 9th. >> Yeah, August 9th. >> Okay, let's keep it August 9th. You want to keep that? >> I haven't talked to the community on that. >> Uh, I I will I have a couple of key people I talk to.
>> Okay. >> Oil spill. Um, oh, by the way, that lake cleanup will be a boat cleanup. That'll be by boat. We'll hand out we'll hand out the gear to boat people and trash bags and we'll have a centralized maybe two centralized spots, maybe Allen Hurst and Asbury Park boat ramp where we can
uh bring the trash. >> Can that be an actual in-person one so that we encourage community members who >> Yes, it'll be in person, but it's going to be more >> it's going to be more boat related. We want to get people out in the boats and and uh we could do some shoreline
cleanup, too. Uh it's hard. It's extremely hard to get to the shoreline because of the vegetation. Okay, >> I get it. But if we're doing it on a Sunday to encourage more involvement, >> we'll put it out there and we'll we'll have walking people along the curbs and
sidewalks. Sure, we'll clean up. >> Yeah. Just because a lot of people have other commitments on Saturdays, >> right, that >> Yeah. >> that Sunday. Yeah. We'll do the boat. Yeah, we'll do the parking lot in Asbury. That's always a mess because that blows over into the lake. We'll do We'll do the We'll We'll do a walk
around. People can walk around the lake. Pick up. >> There's plenty of trash to be picked up. >> Oil spill. I sent a new letter to um the the the DP uh cleanup crew. It was it's a separate company and I CCed everybody
in the D. I think Steve got a copy of it. I also shared that with the engineer in Asbury and Jeanie. I think Josh was in the loop. Um, so they all got it. U but that, you know, we want cleanup. We want clean up in little bit in Asbury a little bit and a whole bunch of interl
because that's what got fouled over that oil spill back in March of 2023, I think it was. Okay, any questions? Any more new business? Uh, any old business I missed? Okay, new business. Fireman's Pond. We
stocked some fish. We We uh I don't know if we paid the bill yet, but we definitely uh got the fish. We got 40 largemouth bass. We had two 400 sunfish and we had two >> Don is a picture. Yep. The picture from
the coaster. >> That's right. That was in the coaster this week. >> That's it. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Thanks. And and I had I had my minister come over from a Lutheran church and she she blessed the fish. She had a nice >> a nice prayer and uh >> Mr. Wendy Abramson.
>> Yeah. And the in the musky fish hatchery >> and I was I'm watching a guy do he's he's putting the fish in a b bigger bucket and mixing the warmer water with the colder water. It was very he spent some you know spent, you know, five minutes, you know, getting you know getting the fish acclimated to them
>> and he and he poured them in and it was it was a lot of fun. >> Um >> and the fish swam away. And I noticed today that there's kids fishing there. Now, the fish are small, but the kids were down there trying to catch them. I don't know what they're going to get,
but uh you we're might we might restock some minnows in the fall. We'll have to re That's what the Azri Park. I'm sorry. That's what the the uh Musky said. So Musky's guy's bending over and I see a shirt. It says Asbury, New Jersey. He's
off of Route 78 in Asbury up in North Jersey. Isn't that funny? >> Oh, that's funny. >> I know. got big tickle on that. >> Yeah. >> Um boat ramp. There's a Josh. Did you find out anything about the boat ramp? >> I'm sorry. The boat the boat uh um rack I should say. I'm sorry.
>> I I have not. I know Jeanie was working on that. Um I would assume she would have an answer for you soon, but I haven't heard anything. >> Okay. Okay. That's all I got on new business, guys. Anything else? um just that it's the NOM's um lake
appreciation month and so normally normally the deal commission you know has some type of >> yact that on a master school has notice on that I don't know if they did anything but >> there's two right there's two things
there is the poster contest and then it's lake appreciation month >> I'll do the resolution Y >> I sent I think I sent out a notice u you know copying you you guys on that. >> Okay. >> Do we want to make a motion that?
>> No, but we don't have to. But we um >> it's for July. >> Put it on the July meeting. The July 2nd meeting. It'll still be good. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And the July that's a good point. The July 2nd meeting is early obviously and the a couple reasons. you know, I was
going to be away later in the month, but the big one is now, you know, a lot of things for the D we're going to have maybe have to make resolutions on. So, um that that should be it should actually perfect timing for getting the grant finished up. >> Okay. >> But what was the other one for the gr um
lake appreciation month? It was the poster contest and the pro and the resolution >> and the resolution. That's it. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Don, I I have one additional quick item. Sure. I had a local a local resident um reach out um saying that they had
noticed um that there was uh in the main body of the eastern portion of the lake uh seemed quite green recently I think over near um Dill Golf Club and they were just wondering if there was some kind of an algae bloom going on over there and whether that was from weather
or fertilizer. >> You know what that was? She was probably looking at the TV screen and saw the reflecting pond in DC and And that was that clatter us. We just joked about that. Yeah, it's it's got algae. We got algae for sure. Um
>> yeah, we and we we had another algae bloom a couple weeks ago from the the you know, quick flash of hot weather, right? From sunset, >> right? Right. It's it it dissipates over time? I mean, I don't know, Steve, how fast does it dissipate, you think? it it I mean it's really a function of the
weather but the main thing is if you go on to the DP's HAB dashboard their harmful algae uh bloom dashboard um you know Dealer Lake is not identified as a water body right now that is experiencing a harmful algae bloom so
there could be a bloom but it may not be significant enough to uh you know to get to that level of of um severity. >> Yeah, I think Mammoth University is monitoring it too. So they would they would give us alert I believe if we we knew it. >> Yeah. They that may come through them or
could come through you know if somebody you know calls one of the health departments um it's actually the health departments whether it's county or lo or municipal uh they're charged with going out and checking that out to confirm whether or not it's a bloom.
>> Right. Right. Thanks. Any any other new business guys? >> Okay. Um, I guess that's >> Commissioner's last word. >> Commissioners Commissioner's last word. Uh, let's let's go with Bobby. Bobby, any any got anything?
