Mayor, if I could just um just brief you. This ordinance was referred to the joint land use board for consistency review and it was found to be consistent with the master plan. Thank you for the update. Todd Burke, 1506 Second Street.
So, I'm interested in transparency, of course, and um dissemination of information, and I I must be missing something. I I don't know what would prevent
putting in the agenda so that everyone could see it and maybe have an interest and actually show up here this evening. in what that second amendment actually says. And please don't tell me to go file a form after
the hearing because my question isn't that that's after the fact. My question is what prevents putting the entire amendment in the agenda so that we actually
have that uh second reading or first reading and that we know what's being voted upon. Oh, there's nothing that prevents us from doing it. We just don't do it. Um, not something we've ever done in the in
previous Well, I think I think we post it after the fact. Is that correct? Is that how it's process? On the website in two places as an ordinance for public hearing and it is advertised in the newspaper. And is the one on the website show where
they can get a copy of the ordinance? Yes, I thought so. So, it is available to you? No. No, that's not my question. My question is why not put it right in the agenda so we know exactly what's being voted upon when we look at the agenda so
we don't have to go looking around at websites and filing over forms and all that. Why not just be open and put the body of that 11 as well as 13 uh 135? Why not put the
body of what's being voted upon in the agenda so we know what's being voted upon? I don't have anything to say. Sorry, Steve. Again, as previously alluded to, it's on it's already on the website. It's
available to you. Um the the ordinance and the and the and the uh redevelopment plan is very lengthy. It would be it would be a lot of paper. It's like I like like pointed out, it's it's available in numerous places for
you for your review. Uh it would have been available prior to tonight. Uh everyone from the public had a chance to review it already. You see the sparse crowd here? All right. I I'm trying to figure out ways of generating more interest in
participation. You're still not answering the question, by the way, counselor. I'm not concerned about a couple of pennies about paperwork. Why not put the entire body of what's being voted upon in the agenda so I can look at the agenda and see it?
Again, there's nothing that nothing prevents that, right? It could have it could have been done. It was not done. Again, again, as pointed out though, it was available at numerous places prior to tonight. It hasn't been done prior administrations or anything. So, I don't
know why you're digging because I'm asking a question that isn't answered. It's there. You want just go to the website. It's not there. I'm looking at the agenda. It's not there. Okay. But it's my question like it was told. Council can certainly take it under
advisement to do that in the future. What prevents putting the body of the resolutions in the agendas. So I can see it right there and I know it's being voted upon. Stop banging the podium. Please stop doing that. Mr. Burke, do you have questions about this ordinance? Do you have questions
about this ordinance? This is a public hearing on the ordinance, not procedure that the township does. Right. Are you talking into the microphone, M? Yes, I am. Mr. Burke, do you have any questions about the ordinance? Why, counselor? All right, I'll I'll talk to you, Mr. Burke. Do you have any questions about the ordinance itself, not the procedure about posting it? Do you have
any questions about My question is, why isn't it listed on the agenda? That question has been answered several times. Is there anything else? Not satisfactory. Okay. Is there anything else, Mr. Burke? only that you've got a very sparse crowd here and I'm trying to figure out ways
of generating more participation and interest and and that's the important thing about having an open government. We've been trying to figure out ways to get people here too. They're just not interested. This is a good suggestion. I think I mean we could post everything we want. People still aren't going to come. I
mean it's it is what it is. Okay. So there's nothing preventing putting the entire resolution that has been asked in the agenda. Not for nothing. I did look at other towns as well. Thank you. Well, I'm speaking. This is my question. Well, not one town does that. So it's
not just unique to Delanco Township. Correct. Be out in the forefront then. Let's let's set the curve. Anyone else for public comment on this ordinance specifically? Going once. It's going twice. Mayor Seuss. Yes. I did um check on the bulletin board. It
is posted on the bulletin board, but Mr. Olette pointed out that it is not on our website. That is our our typical fashion. As soon as it's introduced, the next day it goes on the website, but it was not I don't believe it was sent to be put on the website. Okay. But Mr. Raymond, if I'm correct, the
legal bearing for it would be advertised in the newspaper, which it was, and posted on the bulletin board. Correct. Which that that's correct. That's correct. Yes. It's not required to be on the website, just like resolutions are not required. Okay. Okay. I'm going to uh vote on this now.
Can I get a motion to adopt ordinance 2025-11 on second reading, please? So move. Second. Motion by Kate, second by Phil. Roll call, please. Mr. Bartlett, yes. Miss Fitzpatrick, yes. Mr. McFad,
yes. Mr. Olaf, abstain. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Okay. comments and reports. But before we do that, I will go back and circle the uh circle back to rules governing

Uh, thank you, mayor. Um, first off, the um the crossings, I I did meet with the um developer and the HOA representatives as well as their consultant um on site to review the the
work that needs to be completed and the punch list. It was a it was a very good meeting. We all were on the same page. Um everything's going smooth so far. Um the developer still has as much bunch of work to do, but everybody is as far as
the HOA, their consultant, and and and our our office. Um we're all on the same page of what needs to be done out there. Good. That's good. Um the 2024 local aid um program, that's the Chestnut Walnut Street paving
project. Uh that is just about complete. Uh the top course paving is done. Uh there'll be some punch list, a little bit of concrete work uh and striping um to finish that project up, but it the actual paving is done and and people can start using it and parking on their for
their houses, etc. Uh I still will have um a recommendation coming for making that a one-way street now. Um and we can it'll be a oneway from Burlington Avenue to Chestnut Street. uh the the uh 2024 local road program
which is Delaware Avenue um that it's from Cedar to Hazel and um that is out to bid and advertised. We are looking to um award that at the next meeting. Uh
the bid opening is September 16th and we'd like to award it assuming the bids come in acceptable at the 22nd meeting uh September 22nd. Have you had much interest? Has uh there's been other than the publications
there's been three contractors pick up the the normal three. Yeah. That that bid on it and I expect probably about two more. Um but it's all the normal biders we have on the road. Cool. Um, also, uh, not on my report, but the
crossing, the Woodmain crossing that's coming from Riverside to Dano under the creek. Um, they are performing a test bit tomorrow. Um, and Chief, I'm not sure if you're aware of that. Yes, they made notification today. Okay, good. They contact us today.
Great. Um, so once they do that test pit, that that's on our side. um on on their focus to make sure there's not going to be any conflicts they don't know about. If everything is in in positions they think it is, uh it'll move forward. If not, if they find
conflicts, it could delay things until they they may have to come up with a little redesign, relocate where the the the jacking pit will be at, relocate it. Um but after tomorrow, after test tomorrow, we'll know a pretty good schedule and how they're going to proceed. Is that um trailer out there with that
equipment? Is that their jacking equipment? Uh that's some of the equipment. Yeah. Okay. Excuse me. Um the waterfront park, uh as you all know, the the lighting has been completed. Um I think we've gotten uh good reviews from that from the public.
Everybody seems to to like it. It uh it came out nice. Um anticipate we'll be able to do the final acceptance by the end of this month. We're waiting for the grass to establish. I did uh change the timer. The lights
turn off at 1:00 a.m. Okay, great. You okay down there? Need a minute? Yeah. No, I just got Okay. Um the uh 2024 CDBG CDB grant um on the
agenda, you have a change order and that we'll finalize that job. Um Um, oh, that's what I need. Thank you. The um the change order is is a decrease. Um, the final amount of the contract is
60 7,919 and we received 75,000 from the uh community development block grant. So we're we're under the money that's allotted by the county. Once we pay the contractor, we submit
those payments and then the county will reimburse us. Yeah. So what about the balance? Can we use that for something else? We tried. We asked to see if we can put that towards engineering. Um but it was anything else and and no, we can't. So So the one we pay the exact amount
for the contract reimburse and we haven't heard on the new one, right? We have not heard anything on the new one. No, that's weird. We usually hear by now. Yeah. I don't know what's going That's with federal fun. It's the federal government. Yeah. Yeah. Because the county approved it, but
right. It's federal funds. The uh Union Avenue boat ramp. Um we have submitted the plans, the conceptual plans to D and the Army Corps. Um the Army Corps has assigned a project
manager to it, which is the same gentleman I've been dealing with for the past project. So, that's a good thing. um the EP, we have not heard back from them yet, but we we did submit the conceptuals and we're working on the final design. Uh assuming that there will be minor changes from whatever they
come up with. So hopefully within next couple of weeks, we'll hear something from both of those agencies. Oh, really? That quick? Okay, good. Yeah. What we did is like I said, we just said submit the conceptual design. Yeah. And are asking them what permits they're
going to require from us. Got you. Um, so that's just the first stage. Okay. Hopefully we can get general permits. If it's a Jeep, it's a GP permit, general permit. Um, it it's pretty much it's pretty easy. It's well for the government.
We're not changing the land. Uh, yeah. It's um it's it's almost a right permit where as long as you meet all the qualifications, it's it gets approved. It's not a GP permit. It's an individual permit. They can ask for basically whatever they want. Yeah. Um, and and that's we're waiting
to hear what kind of permits they're going to require. And that's all I have. Thank you. Uh, Mr. Raymond, uh, Madame Mayor, with the exception of the items that were reported on in executive counsel, I have uh, nothing nothing further at this point.
Thank you very much, Miss Simmona. Just a couple quick things that are on the agenda. There is a resolution authorizing the application of a history partnership grant with the county and that is for a $10,000 no required match from us and that is for stabilization
and repair of the sneak box that they have um received. So this will allow them to apply for that funding. And another item I have is that we have a resolution implementing a deferred compensation plan to the employees. And I just want to make a note that this is
100% a cost to the employees. It is no cost to the township. Great. Thank you. Department heads, Mr. Fenomore. Yes. How you doing? Um, cut all township properties four times. Mr. John, into the mic, please.
We cut all township properties four times. We turn leaves at the compost and get them ready. Um we finally got everything lined up for the screening machines going to be coming in next week to start screening them. Um been around
um cleaning some some storm drains we had especially the we had a lot over the weekend. Um we we removed one tree at West Avenue was a small tree was one on trails that fell down. Um,
and we start aligning the soccer fields and uh, like I say, the screening machine will be in next week and that's the big process. That'll probably take about a week to get it all screened and hopefully I got a taker to take it all.
Oh, good. But the only problem is that you have to load a 100 yard trailer. So, that means I my loader won't reach it. So, we're going to have to try to figure something out. I'm hoping Edgewater Parks, which
they do lend us their load or two to help us. So, hopefully and don't have to go nowhere. Don't have to haul it and it'll go and then we start all over again. And the leaves are falling already. Yep.
And that's all I have. Thank you, Chief Warren. Good evening, everyone. For uh the month of August, we had 27 police cases for a total of 175 for the year. Uh there were
176 motor vehicle stops for a total for the year, 154 with 46 uh violations issued, total for the year 517. And we had a total of 978 calls for service for the total for the year right now 8,153.
So getting guys been pretty busy. Um looking forward to our fishing event which will be in two weeks on the 20th. So John actually cleared out some areas for us so we have more accessibility to the pond. So we should have a good time. Do you have any registered yet or?
We do. Yes ma'am. 14 15 of them. Oh, that's great. Yeah. So looking forward to Yeah. I did put a request in for the two gators to be dropped off too in case anybody needs to be driven back there at all. and we'll have ours out there as well. So, that's all I have for now. Awesome.
For our last December meeting, could you do a running tally of all the statistics you give us and compare it to last year and just say last year was as this year is just so we do that. Yeah. I mean, if you want me to do compare it to right now from then I can get it. I mean, it's up to you. End of the year, I think. Just absolutely.
Yeah. Awesome. I'll tell you right now we're surpassing I I kind of figured that with the numbers you're g and honestly we've pretty much that's kind of the climate right now. Yeah. Each year everything increases. Yep. So yeah, we're right now if I remember
correctly for last year I think we finished 10,000 like seven something. So we're on pace to pass it already. You're definitely on pace for call service. Sounds like your cases are up too. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Ju just for the benefit of those who don't know what's the difference between an incident and a
police case that you referenc are just our calls for service. A case is something where they actually open up a case where someone came in and either signed a complaint or it could have been an issue of missing persons or found property lost property. So they actually generate where it requires some type of
followup. A lot of times the incident we can still may have a follow-up to it. Sure. But it can be completed and handled just within that incident itself as opposed to having to come here and generate an actual case. So, got Thanks, Chief. Thank you. Excuse me, mayor. I forgot one important
thing. That's okay. Go ahead. The daughter weed. I don't know if everybody saw that. We have um someone was kind enough to take it grown with it and showed us that weed and we got a price. I think it was 1,800.
Yeah. Get that. Yeah. I don't know what you want to do. That's to spray it. That's to spray it and put the pre-emergent right back down on it. No, it's not bagging. And they don't take nothing away. I thought they bag it though.
No, we have to do that. He says he says it's not necessary to bag it. Once you spray it, you got the pre-emergent, you know. Um, I don't know what you want to do or how you want to handle it, but yeah, like I think I said in my email,
just wait till the end of the month once all the butterflies have migrated because they use that meadow and then have them come in and spray it. Okay, the bas. All right. Well, we got to get on top of that before it spreads. Yeah, because you know we have in the fall we get that all cut, too. So,
yeah, that's what I mean. Right before you do that, do that. Uh, Miss Russell, do you have anything for I do, mayor. Thank you. A couple events coming up. On Saturday, September 27th will be the townwide yard sale. And the cuto off to uh for residents to be put
on the map is September 19th. And then on Saturday, October 4th, we've got quite a few things happening in town. The shredding event will take place out front here starting at 8 a.m. There'll be a community cleanup next door at the public works um garage starting at 7
a.m. and we are also going to have Fall Fest at Field of Dreams and I believe that starts at 12. Yep, it's 12. Lots of activities. Um and then just some internal housekeeping. I did send out an email to um committee and department heads regarding the League of
Municipalities which would be held in Atlantic City on November 18th to November 20th. and several of you have responded, but if you do intend to go, please let me know by the end of September so I can get everyone registered. Great. Thank you.

the lang in Newton's landing were asking if any anything was changing on that dates, times, whatever. So which is good. Second thing is deals with John Venom. Um, just to save your trucks, some of
the trees along the town in their township trees along couple of the streets in Newton's Landing are hanging down kind of low. Uh, they haven't been cut yet by the trash trucks or anything else coming through, but I think they're
going to affect you when you do any plowing or anything else. Okay. Thanks. Hey, I'm trying to keep you Save your money, John. Save your trucks. We'll get out there. Yeah, we got to get to the Walmart, too. Yeah, I know.

We got limbs all through. I know. All right. Thank you. That's it. I'm glad you're feeling better. Thank you. Welcome back. Anyone else speak now? Hold your peace.
Charlie Tina, 291 Barington Avenue. Uh, your code enforcer. You need to get a new one. The gentleman's nuts. No. He turned around. I was away. I let somebody put a sign on my property during the voting party and it feels
like retaliation because no sooner the vote was over. He's been all over me. I come back from emergency and in turn I try to explain to him. He told me I had to put a driveway in. For 30 years I've been parking on the side
of the property, plugging my truck in because it's diesel. When it snows, I pull all my vehicles out. So in turn, John has an easy way to clean the road. All of a sudden now he turned around, didn't give me any notice. Well, the
notice I got, I came down to address. Then turn around, I got a ticket for a car and I went to talk to him about it. He didn't want to hear anything. Uh he told me I have to put a driveway in. So I wanted to put a stone driveway in. He
said, "Well, wave the $300 bond because I already have an entrance." Mhm. Turn around. I come in. Oh no. I have to have the $300. I'm on a fixed income. I have a lot of things going on right now. So in turn
my adopted son turn around gave me $300. I put it down. So now it has to go to the engineer. I said for what? It's a stone. I'm putting stone driveway. Well the lady who works for him she's fantastic. Him. He's useless because he
lied to the judge on the ticket saying he had no communication. Well, I came down to get a driveway permit. I think that was communication. Then the girl told me, "You have to pay $300." She called back to him. He wouldn't even
come out. Got her to say, "Oh, no. Got to get $300. I got the $300 back. No big deal. put a stone driveway in. But I had to come down today to find out if I had an okay to do it because in the letter, here's
your $300 back. Does that mean put it in, not put it in? So, you need to get rid of the guy because I'll tell you, you go two feet over. I don't want to rat the people out. They've been parking on the grass for 30 years, too, like me.
I go down, trailer sitting on the grass. right on the river too or sit right on the grass. He doesn't write anybody up, but he comes and gets me. Well, he has been there is an initiative to clean up the town as far as abandoned vehicles and cars parked on lawns. Like
that's been going on for a couple years now, but 30 years. Yeah, I listen, I hear you, but it doesn't mean that it was right. Saying, hey, you know, address this issue. Yeah. Don't turn around and a week later give me a ticket. Yeah. I don't I don't think it had anything to do with your signs. He could care less how you vote. doesn't live in
this town one way or the other. So, a little political to me if you turn around two feet over, this person didn't get a ticket and they're on the grass. How do you know they didn't get a ticket, right? Cuz I talked to him. How's that? Okay. You know, I have balls. I'll walk over and say, "Hey, great. Did you get a ticket?" He said, "No." All right. Well, we'll make sure he
looks at that. So, they they do. I mean, we're looking at all If I can see it, why can't he see it? Yeah, I hear you. So, we could certainly discuss that. Yeah, we'll we'll definitely discuss that. In turn, he doesn't even talk to you. He just shoved the paper in my face. Driveway. What? It's a district attorney. Talking
about the prosecutor. No, he township inspector. Oh, the township inspector. Okay. You know, you need to get somebody else. Okay. Well, thank you for that. He gets to drive around in circles. We'll definitely look into it. See what's going on. Thank you. But you're good to go, Aaron. He's good
to go with the stone driveway, right? Okay. I'm sorry you had that experience. Um, anybody else? No. Okay, I'll close this uh session to the public. Uh, any discussion items? We have the
proposed ordinance amending chapter 245-13 governing the preparation of waste for collection by the township. Bev, what are we doing with that? Um, we are ready to introduce an ordinance by title this evening and set
the public hearing. if you want to I don't know if the um committee has had a chance to review. Yeah. So, I'll just talk about how that came about. So, um we have we send out the form when we send out tax bills, you know, just letting people know reminders,
you know, uh on our please put your mattresses in plastic, you know, cut up this, do that. So, we're just cleaning up the code to make sure that that's enforcable and that wasn't in our code. So, we're just making sure that um you know all of our our rules are actually
in our code. So, that's what we're doing. Just cleaning it up. Yeah. So, are we going to list this for first reading by Tiger? Yeah. And do that now. Yeah. So, this will be ordinance 20 240. Um
was it 17? Ordinance 2025. 17 25 12 12. Okay. 12. Sorry. Um okay. So, anybody want to talk about it? Questions? That's a good idea, actually. And uh and we could read these items if anybody
wants to know what we're doing. There's only like five. You can read them if you want to pull your microphone over so they can hear you. Um so, we're amending the code for preparation of waste for collection. So, mattresses set out for bulk pickup shall
be fully enclosed in a mattress disposal bag or fully wrapped and taped closed in plastic. No mattresses will be picked up that is not properly enclosed. Carpets, rugs shall be cut sections no larger than 3 and 1/2 to 4 ft wide and
must be rolled up and into bundles for pickup. Glass bulk items such as mirrors, etc. shall be placed in a box, taped shut, and clearly marked as glass item. Wood wood fencing shall be cut into three and a half to 4 feet lengths
or smaller and tied into bundles, no wire, and each bundle shall not shall not be heavier than 50 lbs. Debris and solid waste from construction projects, tenant cleanouts, or moving cleanouts shall be placed in a dumpster for
disposal and is not eligible for curbside solid waste collection by the township. Dumpsters shall be provided by contractor, a property owner, or tenant. So, this is what we're clearing up our ordinance to include. I think these
