evening from Taylor Design Group Scott Taylor our Township planner sound like a game thank you right come on down we should round the yeah you go Scott do you have a wireless
mic up there do I need a wi this m no only well to pick you up on the recording and so the uh home audience can hear you for us here you certainly have a loud enough voice I warned you I should not thank
you um so I'm going to try to not block everybody's View and just for anybody watching at home we'll po we'll post a photo of this on the website just so everyone could see uh it's kind of positioned here so the inperson audience
can see so just by way of reference and this is a concept plan overlaying on an aerial photograph in black and white so on the left side of the screen is Willow Street we have Delaware AB running through the middle we have Union on the
far right hand side to the top is the river obviously and then zerber Mansion is here um on the bottom part of the sketch basically as all of you know you've authorized the seaw walls under construction uh we're in that process the next step in that is the creation of
the park so part of uh the seaw wall project includes some concrete sidewalks along the walkway we've coordinated with ER some of those areas are not being constructed currently because we knew there were going to be some improvements
that were coming in after the fact so we have been trying to coordinate through that process overall uh from a a main standpoint we looked at creating and this is similar to Concepts that we had presented in 2016 and I think even more
recently maybe 2019 or 20 where we're we are embracing the prior location of thean structure recreating that brick sidewalk that connects to that theory
Ina sidewalk that will have some brick sidewalk underneath we're looking structure that it was such a unique wooden structure trying to recreate that would really difficult and
enous Etc and have some draw upon some of those details for the Pavilion we're also anticipating having interpretive signage um in a couple locations through stories we do want to tell obviously is
about the history of the Zer Manion but also theion the fa part of that story we see this and I'm drawing here in this section on the right hand side you can see moving from left to
right in this project section lighting through the central portion to create a wash of Lights along the promade but also use those same lights to these will be fully recessed full cut off dark sky compant lights that will be
300 so we're not creating that bluish intense light while still providing liting levels throughout we are also along the strong central AIS of the Zer Mansion we're showing the potential for
a Midlock crosswalk that does require some specific signage that's something we coordin cine office but we know folks are using that now considerably and we're showing a connection there to a couple
ofes here designed and let me jump back to the Pavilion for a second we designed the 16 by6 Pavilion to have a movable table in there that may have anla chard and then also two permanent benches
appc we La it out and sign so there could be a small event out there there could be a small wedding photographs anything like that we see being spos overw Loc probably do some hanging
signage so someone's there photots a little everywhere people that is so beautiful we showing benches in a number of locations they all have accessible companion wheelchair seating next to them along the
prom accessible picnic tables number we're also we've been coordinating we trying to preserve not out there recently but preserving as much as possible of the existing brick walls to try to
incorporate those into the design we have lights litter and recycling recept we also have fishing line recycling systems at both of the street ends the initial
not have fishing along the section because of that high level of pedestrian use can often with fishing so fishing still you knowen at the street
ends line also St iic and in the bottom right corner you can see we were looking to replace relocate the existing Benes had a bit of a modern feel to them
something that we thought was more appropriate and uh to the historic nature of the site so we were looking at black benches recept white grass and also rail bench rail that go along the
top of the wall for showing a few notes of some low maintenance ground cover and also a couple of additional trees we know that we had some tries
injunction with the sea W Construction so toate that we're looking Ates inter sign SE Wes Headway stations we're also relocating right now the littlee library actually back in the a little bit it's
not accessible so we're suggesting to shift that up closer to the she's not even a sonographer so that's the short version and I can answer any questions that's just great yeah it's
awesome yeah it's really awesome just two quick things do you have a light in the actual pavil in that's going to be a motion sensor late we do thank you when we do things like this weally in there is closed hours if
someone goes in there the goes on neighbors usually right we'd also like to have some surveillance cameras on the light post as well to protect the area there is so there's a sea W that runs along and that sea
wall a wide sidewalk sort of a river top of the wall is so the wall is actually a final sheet pile system that has like you see some of the street ends and then
there is a AE concrete cap so the top of that will say and Scott the fence will be on the wall itself yeah so fence re the IC is
42 Sor so the the wall itself is about 2 high and the G needs to be a total of 42 in or 3 and2 ft so the rail itself this
is about3 the rail itself will only be 18 high on top of that wall so will Beall for good it's important that we nail this down because we need to have the fence installed as soon as the wall is
completed very shortly after um the park we'd like to have in go out to bid in December and award in January and and start the construction in March to have it finished by may but the fence needs to be done now um and when I mean now as soon as the sea Wall's finished for
safety reasons we can't leave it exposed all winter so well uh as you mentioned winter uh with the uh ice during the winter uh that we experiened out there on the Delaware where ice backs up and
uh I've been to a couple parks where they've had taller fences uh rod iron where they end up getting bent and uh destroyed uh and then you end up with a
maintenance issue um so with the fencing do the rods have to can it be more like a um split rail uh with metal versus the up and down
re in the middle of the laa if that was raed above the surrounding we would have to do of that typal railing you see those so that it can't pass through that not
to simar to what you see around the swimming pool swimming pool has a similar Prim and really has to do with two things one child not being able to through there fall out second not being
able ISS thaty issues H yeah because aesthetically obviously and it makes sense to do it that way but unfortunately with the he was explaining in our meeting you can't do it in the public parks private obviously they can't but yeah so we're
trying to keep the profile of that feature as as low profile as possible the part of the code it does have to be a firm railing the code actually reques I
believe 200 pound ofal onere that's no let wait yeah so standing sign little9 but wait want to create
something that's now a new attraction for someone to climb up and sit on and if there's a feature you describe this and you know down the shore I've never seen a fence like this on any public bulkhead uh the
whole jerse city Waterfront yeah if you go anywhere in jerse city if you go anywhere in New York City in those instances what we had hoped for initially is that the top of the seaw W would be flat at elevation 10 and the rest of the park would be flat at
elevation 10 and then you have a 42 in high on top of that to try to preserve and save all the trees that out there the existing s because we know how important pres the trees were the trees were saved by
keeping the park elevation around what it is existing now around elev but to get that flood resiliency the wall itself to Elevation 10 I know because I insisted on that right so so what we
would do so now we have a wall that these chairs are probably 20 22 High seating height perfect height for to jump up and walk or people to what we would do is in
that area we would cheat this fence to actually be as close as structur possible to so is anybody Avid even you're you're unbelievably
optimistic on the capabilities of people to climb on things they may jump off of it I two of them myself so all we can do best can I mean I've had people trespass on my property and walk a toddler on the
top of my seaw wall and it's you know you like people just don't think and that's my private property that people are doing that on um yeah whatever is selected uh this material has to be bombproof uh not you know corrosion
resistant stainless steel whatever uh we we don't need some maintenance item that we're going to have to pull it out five years from now and replace mounts and screws and everything else uh the same with the Pavilion as was mentioned
previously I mean that Shoreline just gets the crap kicked out of it and you know debris I mean I find logs after big storms in my front yard uh the table you mentioned some mechanism you said a
movable table something that that bolts that down that it could be you know taken out but but something that uh uh it can be fixed as as a permanent or semi-permanent feature because you know as we saw yesterday uh the the wind just
will take things uh and a private gazebo was destroyed yesterday um hanging flapping signs uh that'll be that'll be in willing burrow we've actually used
thefa we have several structures was constructed in4 understood on that will be and it's a steel structure this the roof is steel and it also has a cop at the top to allow so you don't have that uplifting like an umbrella the wind gets
under it and takes it so it actually will have an opening so that the wind can get through to prevent some of that uplifting that probably happens to the Gazebo that fell don't be bashful and buy the strongest thing you can get do we know weend one the materials can actually make
stuff tce as long and that's just that's just good SOB a yeah this is a an in-depth conversation we had last week um about the material of the fence whether it should be aluminum stainless steel and I
know you're working with some vendors to get some quotes and we have to move pretty quickly on this like literally in the next week or two to figure out the design nail down design make sure the engineer is okay with it and we're not going to skimp on it for sure because it's a super important piece that needs
to make sure it's going to withstand the winds and the logs and the ice and everything down there so we're definitely cognizant of that SC as well yeah mention if we have a where ice flows come up and
come over that buhe we can't toce amount app we're going to do something that will work for 99.9% of the time if we
get that Abandon Ship yeah I mean there's always going to be some kind of maintenance down there it's right but but the um you know I I live on the ran cookus Creek and the ice
flow is not as high as my first wall I have two walls and so it's usually a little bit below it and uh I don't think it's any higher on the Delaware um I mean it builds up but i' I've never seen it where it would go
over to that wall to the new wall and I think with our increase we right and Mr Fox and I went over that we were looking at the climate change the sea level rise forecast and kept on bumping up from his initial plans so
we're trying to get something that's uh workable for the next 50 to 75 years so are we taking public question yeah we'll take yeah go ahead have at it sorry inter no go have it you're good
okay okay just just for the record just give your name and address for the record just so we have it are now in the construction started SE W or are you just ready to so it's it's a two sort of a two-e project
what is under construction now W itself and that will be happening over the next basically months probably finishing September octob and there's some sidewalk associated with that the seall and the sidewalk will be
finished this September October okay the second phase of the will be all these Li um astion contracted early next year so we a very early instruction W
up so we're going to pull the fence out of the park aspect of it and include that in the wall now since we have to do that now um but does anybody else have any other questions well if the fence gets delayed or whatever I mean you could always put a temporary
construction fence barrier to keep people off that for the next you know until everything else follows on in the spring so it's it's not uh we've seen how well that's worked in the last week of these storms yeah conrete I'll get
something that's a real fence the fence should not be put off should be done as Harry's doing the construction because it's going to be right I'm I'm just saying if you get delayed and get hung up on materials or a contractor or any aspect of that right I think if that's a
concern to to close that section of the park uh because it's still you know it's going to be mud and dirt out there anyhow uh and it is a custom rail that we have to have done you're talking six to 10 weeks probably too so yeah as you
know process so I was actually emailing and sketching yesterday to the office to try to get this thing as quickly as possible once we get resolutions iness and then contract that sub instruction so that that does take a
little bit time as as possible sounds good good nice work yeah yeah it's been a long time does anyone else on committee have any questions for Scott it would be nice
if we could get a copy of that at that size to put it on a piece of big plywood and put it down there outside the construction zone so people know what we're doing and what we're spending all this money on and what the results going
to be so what I can do is um I can share this with Richard some you can actually FedEx and some sign makers they make a well now you we're not making the we're not making the railing out of
that but um a couple 4xs pach yeah nice you know Municipal Community projects usually have some kind of sign board that says hey AC the top do coming soon and see that of so we
can share that with with Richard that way you can get first generation of this on the website you choose great yeah good as long as it doesn't have those your at work like you see on I95 for the last 15 years but
this is a no that's a good idea Mike um anyone from the audience have any further comments or questions for Mr Taylor on this particular item if so Joanna sure just go go up to the mic the Burlington City prominade height
wise think it's less and and why is it lower code requires 42 in it's been years since I've been up there yeah I believe that that is probably 42 in but the actual fence is
42 yeah the between the wall and our fence is 42 total yeah because their wall is street is is ground level and then their Fen is up from that at least the last time I was there yeah just looking here at a photo of that uh on
Google think about you know walking there and where you it comes to you that's all that's going to be lower it'll be 42 in total so the wall will be be the same 24 in and then the fence yeah but the actual fence will only be
yes yeah give or take 42 48 you're welc thank you Jo all right Mr Fritz yes Peter Fritz uh 303 Avenue and I'm uh representing the Lano history
board uh uh I I think we were um a little surprised that we didn't see any of this plan before Saturday um and so we had some questions and there are some things that we've been doing that aren't
connecting with what's happening here so far and uh so I did have a couple of questions one of them is uh I understand that there was a survey that was done a historical survey of the property was that done yes okay was it
done to the same extent as one that was done on the zerver property when they did phase two yes okay who has that uh that survey we do you do Township does okay specifically is there a way of
getting a copy of that or yep it is it's the o and you can get I don't have it here I the engineer would have that engineer has it the engineer has a copy y uh and uh part of that was a historical survey not just it was an archaeological survey there were several
test pits that were dug I think two dozen test pits that was one part of it uh as we found out later from uh the state historic preservation office they wanted photo documentation of the site as it currently is we did that and that
was complet it in the last month so we've complied with thepose uh State historic requirements okay uh as we have been talking about um a lot of times I guess everybody knows the name uh James fenmore
Cooper and uh we have been told that his parents William and Elizabeth Cooper had a home right here to find out if there was some testing that was done to see if they could find
Foundation or would help us to locate that we have some documentation from some ring newspaper articles and and that kind of thing and we we very interested in you know whether it was there and it should
probably be mentioned along with other things establish that it would be a real G for uh the L yeah it didn't turn up in the historic research okay um and as you folks know we are operating under a grant for this year to
do interpret signage and one of the interpretive signs that we have already designed uh was for this property now ours is focused on the uh The Parson Warf which was the steamboat Warf that
was wasn't a fairy boat it was a steamboat service from Philadelphia to Trenton and it used to stop at Parson which is on the end here and uh so I think a lot of our focus at the time was for Parson work and the steamboat
service and the steamboats that that visited um so if there's going to be something recognizing zerber mansion and the Other Mansions that were here before the zerber mansion and there were four
here at one time um that I guess somebody else is going to be responsible for that orce would coordinate that maybe we have two s my hope would be well I don't know where you guys are in terms of the
design in terms of and IM ofar with you guys that way I'm not doing the white but
the signs and the design layout for all of those match I think very nice so whatever of Bot we we produced five five signs last year as phase one of our grant sequence
and four of them were on Union Avenue in front of the old Presbyterian Church on your way out of town you might want to stop and take a look at them I think they were pretty well designed there is one of them that is at the
meeting camp meeting 7 thank you and and we tried very hard to tie all of those together and going into phase two what we're trying to do is design our phase two to match our phase one so that's about it it just
would be a good idea I think if we were involved with this stuff maybe a little the process identify Peter we we fully intended on working with the history board to do the history signs this is just the plan so once we get down to that we'll definitely work with you of course I don't see any anything that's
going to disrupt what what you've already planned here but just make sure that we're abs and Peter Peter to that same extent of making sure on the same page since this is a town park property and any other Park Properties you're planning on putting signs on that should
be communicated with Recreation while you're in the planning phases of what signs you're doing all of the placement was was approved before we submitted the grant last August so good just so you know yeah that was and we can make it
adaptation certainly uh we had planned to put our sign closer to where the old war was adjacent to the sidewalk right sort of at the foot of Union Avenue and I see for your sign Central facing out
across the river it's to the it's to the right there's one all the way to the right yeah so we were we were showing one down this location we showing another one sort of at this Central so there would be maybe two could certainly adapt to
all that that would be good and as far as the Gazebo goes um we've been discussing this gazebo for years um the Gazebo that was there was not the zerber gazebo it was designed to match a house
that's now on third third Willow and I loads of pictures and it had been read on many sh so so when you're when you're talking about doing a more modern gazebo I assume that what you're trying to match
is not the old gazebo which saved in if he had lived probably the Ser would have his own time but it should definitely match design of of
Z and and what we're trying to do is strike that balance of trying to do a full custom structure and structure that has additional detailing at the bottom
has that has a little bit more ver just try draw a little on that in asort of financially responsible way as possible stand but to your point being able to tell that story with those
photographs of several stru ining there okay so just we're we are advis Bo of the of the township so we're standing great help with any research
that needs to be done I'd be very interested to take a look at the uh the history survey and see what we found I've got a copy of it and you're actually mentioned in it so so you're published I don't think we
history we didn't find anything and as far as I know we didn't find anything thank you Peter thank you Peter uh one last thing on the historic signs just the gel something to think about um we've got
this long name for this this park now but um um a lot of stuff occurred on the river and a lot of stuff is visible from this location on the river you got the the Estates on the Pennsylvania side uh that have a long history the bid estate
at Andalusia and so forth um actually up River invisible from that from from the park is dunks Ferry and that's where CAD Waller's Brigade crossed with General Washington to attack Trenton but they didn't make it across due to the ice
that Mr allette has has arranged for and so they went back to the tavern and didn't quite to help out uh General George so anyway there are things like that that are out in the front that people are always asking well what's that building what's that house and what's that so just something to
consider is part of our our heritage project which is to examine the older buildings in town to determine what their yeah actual historical we're working along it's it's a gr very good thanks
question thank you Peter thank you with the Mike with your interpretation of History you might want to apply for a teaching job at Delano the kids would love that interpretation I'm the cliff claven
no Cliff claven the Pryor of useless knowledge so very good all right um any about any other questions for uh Mr Taylor we'll so back to Carolyn do we need to do a motion or anything yeah we're going
to do a motion that's gonna ask for it okay what a surprise do a motion to approve I'd like a motion to approve the plan as presented verbally and pictorially by Mr Taylor this evening so moves
second I I heard a whisper by F first at the second rock paper scissors yeah yeah Kate's family grew up there right motion we need a roll call on that or just all in favor favor
I all right and um what Richard said we need a motion to approve not a motion we need a request requ Professional Services proposal okay so we know the dollars that'll cost to make that reality and then they will then approve
that consider that your request Scott please right he's going to keep working on the fence aspect though say time sensitive so keep work he keeps working on it but before he finishes and sends the bill make sure that we have no before you whack us the head he knows
what I'm saying okay all right thank you you are dismissed sir go back and start working on it now no overtime lost storms it's long so did we Scott so did we oh wow that long
right yeah right not touching that with a 10ft pole thank you Scott thank you thank you good job Scot 7 or dunin get a cup of coffee take a look at that sign on way out I absolutely will good EXC thank you all right uh with that we will
open the meeting to the public for comments or questions for anything else or that still um this is be session number one if you have any comments or questions please approach the podium and give your name and address for the record and there will be another session
later on this evening good night Scott seeing none we'll close this portion to the public and there'll be one a little later on and we'll start with comments and reports comments from our Township administrator Mr Schwab thank you doing
it early so I can stay awake for this um first thing to note you all have that that uh we're talking about our retirement of our chief finance officer Bob hell is finishing up this this week uh he's a hard man to replace particularly uh what he can get done for
the dollars and the hours that are involved we're making changes we might we aren't ready yet to make a full-time a regular change so uh I recommended that uh you appoint me to be the temporary
CFO which you can do for up to a year per statute Jam has put that in there and when we have someone who is a certified Municipal finance officer I used to be but haven't been since I retired but but we can keep things going until we have the appropriate person and at that point in time that person will
replace me in that formal role the meantime all those Finance operations are being handled uh in part by our new Finance Clerk and uh the office and then I can fill in as needed so that's in your consent agenda also want to report
that one of the last uh jobs that Bob did was to uh receive bids for Bond anticipation note and award that that's the purview of the uh Chief finance officer uh each year we take the amount that's outstanding in in notes we pay
off as much as we can afford in our budget generally 4 or 500,000 but in order to do projects such as you talk about here it needs new borrowing we did a bond ordinance tonight for the projects that were in this year's budget most of them there's still a couple out
there and so that we have to then add those and then we consolidate those notes we pay off the old ones reduce it by the amount you budgeted and then have to go out to bids for new one-year Bond anticipation notes uh the amount this year uh was
$2,469 uh we received only one bid bids are crazy they go up and down we've been as little as under 1% and now it's between four and 5% for the one year if you went on permanent financing which would be for 10 or 15 year notes you'd be PID these numbers so it's not a
good time it's like with mortgages you don't want to do a 20-year mortgage at at these rates so you just do the one year and the best price we got was a net price of 4.58% uh the way it interestingly works it was 4.75% but they pay a premium that
comes in in the 24 budget so in effect we're paying 4.75% in our 25 budget when these notes become due it's about $5,600 more than what we had budgeted we ass assumed 4% but ends up being 475 so it's
a few th000 more and uh it's going to be you over $100,000 in interest uh in our 25 budget for the 2, $146,000 outstanding that's all the debt we actually have we have no long-term debt so that we used to have millions in
that but that's that's gone so uh you're very low in terms of overall debt particularly with the uh cess value that we have in the community uh we can go to 3% we're at less than 1 half 1% uh for
the municipality so that is something that uh is awarded and the mayor and the clerk sign the documents that the finance officer puts together working with our bond counsel um the other thing to note is that you you pointed to sha Sullivan as
the deputy assessor at your last meeting to work with Sean gasal who was the assessor and he's starting you will see him in the office the next this week he's getting started doing that so while Sean gas's not here solvent's here vice versa so you get to see both of them at
various times during the day and the evenings when they're here um the the other thing that I have is that uh uh the uh public work subcommittee uh had first of what will be uh monthly follow-ups with the engineer on all these various
projects we had a meeting so that we don't have to wait a full month to have things done and one of the things that uh the engineer was able to do that we've talked about is get pricing for repair and or replacement of uh the uh pipe that crosses 719 Delaware Avenue
that they have an easement that pipe is all blocked up it's uh not able to function there are two options one is to replace three large sections and the other is to replace the entire length between the curb back of the curb line and the private seaw wall there's a sleeve through that seaw wall so that
stays so it's 7 ft versus 24 ft of replacement interestingly we got quotes and the lowest quote is Thor who has done a lot of work for us and it was $9,600 for the repair and 14,5 for the replacement his price for replacement is
really low uh Pioneer pipe which also does a lot of work for us was 113 for the repair and almost 40,000 for the replacement so that has to do with how they how they operate but uh we're very com and Harry's very comfortable with
Thor and it makes with that kind of pricing it makes sense to replace uh the existing conrete pipe and it's being replaced 15-inch pipe with ads solid pipe and it' be SED over the top we of course work with the property owner but there was an easement for that so in
order to move that along also in your bond ordinance that you approved tonight you may notice that for the storm sore work it didn't just say Hickory as we had talked about before but it also said Delaware which is this project we had no idea at the time we'd be able to get
away with such a low number I thought it'd be more in the $40,000 range but the bottom line is funding is now available we can get the project done when we're ready to do hickory if in fact the estimate or the costs are higher than what's left in that then you'll have to do a supplement or do a
smaller project but now is the time to get this thing done because the impact of that plug pipe has been very negative and we know how to solve it very quickly quickly and very inexpensively so I'd ask for a motion to authorize uh the
replacement of that pipe for 14,550 per Thor's proposal so up second motion by Mike second by Kate in favor all in favor I I thank you very much uh there's a number of other things
that uh we talked about that that uh the engineer is is working on to try to move things along uh we're going to be working with the uh qpa to get our numbers and the process for the baberuth field for the basketball court area for
the pathways both there and at Field of Dreams um you have the award for the installation of field lighting at Field of Dreams uh that Harry has sent you a lot of information on um and the other
thing uh we've been negotiating the road program costs I have been negotiating with with Harry for er's cost I believe that we the numbers that he originally gave us uh was more than what we had planned and therefore we're making him
relook at those numbers we thought we'd have that ready for tonight but uh that didn't more important things came up so at your meeting the 15th you should have that ready so I'll be able to send that out and it should be within our budget the other thing that he'll do is he'll give us he promised today to also give us a
proposal to do the CVG curb cut project the next group group $75,000 next group that Janice got for us not just fixing last year's that has to be completed so we can get our money back but so we can move quickly on the project cdbg is not
a lot of fun they set an end deadline but they wait till the last minute to let you do it so if we're not ready to go then we have a chance of not getting the job done in time so we're trying to move that kind of stuff along he said he's still working with the contractor to fix those ramps too right we have a
deadline on that yep there is yeah yeah we have to we have to have paid the contractor in full that has to be done by September 1st and you can't do that if they haven't fix finish the work so you know it's the conundrum the the
federal government through HUD sets these rules that the county has to follow and they're the ones that you know the money comes through uh but if the contractor hasn't finished the work you don't want to pay them so there we may have to try to get an extension if there's a problem but the
hope is that he's beating with them this week and they'll try to get those things done that need to get done so that that project can get done we can get our money reimbursed UMC it or something would that I don't know you know when you're dealing with HUD yeah logic
doesn't make a lot of sense uh doesn't work so we ramps were terrible like any other level of government I mean it it's just a question of if you got a contractor is not getting the job done you don't want to pay him right no but if you don't pay him the county by such and such a date county says when you do pay them you won't get reimbursed even
though we promised to reimburse you so we're between a you know and a hard place so we have to uh figure that out and he's also going to try to close out we still have to close out the contract with the uh Street end U seaw wall people and get that done right so we can
close that out and we now have a contract to can we can then assign that work to our current contractor who's working at the waterfront park and but pay it out of that so we're we're going to try to close that out very shortly and use whatever funds are available for
for example the boat ramp which I'm sure Carol will talk about it another point but so we're working on a lot of things trying to make our money go as far as it can and get things done because we have good pricing um also I should probably mention the speaking of good pricing
you'll be awarding the Field of Dreams uh lighting and the pricing there was very good for that that allows for uh change order to do some additional electrical work that we thought was going to have to be done separately and with other funds so we can get ahead of that project so Harry's analyzing that
he'll make a recommendation and we'll be talking about that on the 15th okay all right thanks so that's what I'm up to and I won I'm still on vacation for the next couple weeks but trying to keep in touch with everybody best I can okay very good any have any questions for Richard no I just want to thank Richard
for the good work on coordin the transition with the tax assessor I know in these days it's hard to get two tax assessors with the same first name so it's uh yeah it makes it easier for the public when they call in they said oh I talked to Sean you know
yeah I thought that was a negative but I'm glad you turned into positive thank you man always on the bright side Richard go home get some sleep yeah well finish the meeting and then can go home get some sleep Richard was stuck on the uh airport tarmac till what 2 a.m. last
night something like that and uh half an hour of sleep and here he is thank you Richard right uh department heads start with Lieutenant Warren hello everyone couple good things we uh we had
a coffee with a cop uh last weekend I had pie out um with our civilian clerk U Eric Rogers is retired sergeant from mortown and um officers responded out there and they
said it was a good turnament um people came out and ask questions got to meet some of the younger guys so it was just success so we're looking at you know doing that again in the future hopefully before the end of the year um we had a recruit graduate from the
academy last Thursday Ryan Kerns so he's going to start his field training on Wednesday morning looking forward to him I think he's going to do well um patrolman Chris ORF who graduated in May is actually second phase V is's doing
very well so um he'll be finishing up which right now towards the end of July hope be on the road so he's looking really good we were able to give a conditional offer to another gentleman named tandre gomis he's in his
uh process now he has to get a physical still but other anything else is complete so we're just waiting to hear it back from the state and from our psychologist but um he did very well uh at the PTC mandated physical training test for py Police Academy he did very
well so with him passing um the requirements don't seem having a problem with the academy so that'll start uh August 5th um B use the mic go talk more to the mic so she gets it and everything I don't want to yell too much yeah it works but that starts August 5th and
that'll go until December 12th down in GLA County um as far as numbers for this past month as of to dat uh we had 125 motor vehicle stops with 66 motor vehicle summonses issued 10 police cases
and we had 769 call to service which gives us a total for 5,216 for the year guys's been busy um understatement they've been busy um but uh doing well so glad we're going to
be uh finally staffed up with all these yeah recruits in the academy just out of the academy yeah keep busy very good for the Department do you want to mention Adam's directive on Hulk Island yeah I was wondering what happened the last or not it's not really
Adam's directive yeah um I have a question so here so here here's the thing we we obviously know that as far as enforcement for trespassing we cannot um people aren't parting on the island they're utilizing the island to get to
the water so they're on the Beach and then we're meeting people who are already out on boats who are Town residents as well as people coming over from Philadelphia so they're utilizing just to get the access to the sh are um and with that again we can't stop them
from doing it um and from what John I haven't been back there in a while but from what John said there's a they're doing a the best they can with trying to clean up out there but for the det Trails but there's really no space out there to really even engage anything
it's just falling the Bree frees um but again they're using that trail just to get access to the beach front and they're in that tide of water so that's where they're hanging out so we understood people come out I guess it was yesterday or Saturday Saturday yeah yeah but obviously we've be getting call for that for years now normally in the
past when we were told that it was proper property obviously yeah we enforce it gave summons when we could or we just gave them warnings um because obviously a lot of residents walk the dogs back there um or even go back and fish as well uh but we got a lot of
people from out of town that come and park on Vine and access to water as well again they're meeting people who already have boats at them so people literally take their boat as Dr Hulk Island go around the point and then they'll anchor there and then utilize the beach area and their boat to hang out on a Saturday
so as long as they're doing that we're fine but the issue to it as far as John Fenimore obviously is the trash so the trash is is dis I mean I get photos from Paul Newman all the time of the trash and there was one that was like uh like
this huge with just Corona bottles uh so Corona must be a favorite and then someone was cutting down trees the birch trees back there so there there is there are people on the island too that are doing this I don't think somebody's
taking their trash some of them from the boats are taking it up there but there are people back there that are trashing it no they're they're they're doing it but no I'm agree with you like they're they're actually on the beach and they'll have a good old time and leave their trashers absolutely yeah but they're taking it up on the island and
disposing of it right instead of leaving it there or when the water taking it up yeah and they'll stop it there and then continue to walk out so that's where for a while John was leaving bags back there for him to put the stuff in bags I don't know I have to talk to the committee cuz
I had there was supposed to be something done on June 10th and I I don't know figure that out I don't know what was I wasn't at that meeting so I don't know what was discussed but we were just told I mean from from Chief's perspective again as far as the enforcement we can enforce the law anywhere we want
obviously if we see something that's wrong um but as far as stopping the access to the hour we cannot they're allowed to access it not yet hopefully I'm just telling you what I was told from Chief right so his email said he was going to have some of the
bike officers back there I talk not I don't know if that's possible to sand no yeah that's why he didn't think about that part again like I said it's not even really that accessible you can get to one point there's a Fallen Tree now he's got to turn around and walk all the way back yeah um our thing would be you know what we normally would do we would
just walk out there we drive in a little bit and walk it down and make sure you know but even the other issue is um working in t with the state police because the state police allows more once we're they're out in water as long as they not operating a boat they'll allow people to drink like this is
they're checking more credentials for the operation of the vehicles do the have the registration things of that nature um but again as far as what we're told I guess from the attorney we can enforce the law yes but as far as restricting access no not yet yeah well
right now woman we cannot if you're saying what I said not yet yeah but right now as of today for everyone here if you access Hulk you can access Hulk right um until something else happen right doal things don't do illegal things back right I I have a question
for you too um as someone had mentioned to me that there were cars parking on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania and Burlington Avenue and I said well why don't you report on a sidewalk the cars are jetting out they're actually on the
sidewalk so people have to walk around them in the street and I said well you know contact the police and they said well the police were there right there and saw it and nothing was done so would you would you check where was that at Pennsylvania Avenue and Burlington the
corners I guess pnsy they both run the same way Pennsylvania and burlton run parallel Pennsylvania must be Perkins Lane and and Burling in Burlington Avenue then oh you're talking about Delo a yeah Perkins it must be Perkins Lane and uh yeah I
must have misunderstood what they said it must be Perkins Lane so if they have a vehicle that's parked on a sidewalk the residents have to walk around and would you do something about that because that is illegal yeah of course it would pardon I said of course yeah
because they said the police were right there and they weren't doing anything Ed said a memo today oh okay I have no idea what you're talking I'm just reporting what was told to me so I'm asking for some assistance well but so you got to you're being vague so you're saying the the auto shop there had a vehicle that
they were doing to work on was on their apron to their property I'm saying that the vehicle was blocking the sidewalk and the resident had to walk in the street in order to get across Burlington Avenue and then the police were there yeah police were
there doing something else but didn't me mention that to them but I would ask that the police take a look at it and keep an eye on it okay because it's dangerous okay anything else
good thank you good to go thank you lieutenant thank you thank you all right and let's see Mr fenmore is out this evening Mrs lore yes um everyone was given a copy of a um quote that we received for the
installation of acoustical panels for this room um we now have a qpa so we can and there under with a qpa the uh State bid threshold is 44,000 so we can use
quotes for this um this particular company um is providing uh approximately 1,800 square feet of acoustical panels from the ceiling the the various walls
um for a total of it's actually would be $38,600 color included in the 37,000 um is a black panel or a white panel and I figure you would probably want something in the Tans cream light
Browns um well but it is Township committee's decision as far as color they don't have swatches because the rep said that they can do any color that we want and um if you want to give them say we want um you
know uh bare paint color you know sage green tropical forest or whatever number 101 they can do that so um that's why they don't have swatches because it's
whatever color you want so um if you want to go with a a white acoustical panel or a black acoustical panel it's 37618 but I fig you'd probably want something more conducive to the the cream color or a uh you know in the
brown tan area so umre I will be talking which is one of the things with the qpa tomorrow she's coming in just going over the different um quotes that I've received and um making sure that
everything is proper under the um state public bidding laws uh that we could award uh this quote to actually get the work started there will be a six- week lead to order the p panels in the color that you want and be ready to start and
then approximately one week at least for the actual installation in this room they've done the sound measurements or acoustical measurements or whatnot to make sure that what they're providing yes this would um actually um most of the vendors that came out said we're at about a 3.5 to
3.8 reverberation um and the goal is to bring it down to at least one and a quarter reverber I'm not sure professional sound engineer by the way um you know and they've all all said
that now I've had all different um you know from everywhere as low as you know 400 square feet of pounds that's all you need from to one vendor said walked in and said doesn't matter how many acoustical panels you have put in here you've got to lower those speakers you
know um that's not part of this the scope of this I figure we can do the acoustical panels and um we could always lower the speakers later reposition them if needed that was there was only one vendor that said that but um some are we're only putting them you know um on
the walls on the walls very you know saying that because the sound has to be controlled where people sit to no no no you need panels coming down from the ceiling and you know the cloud panels and and this and that so um this this
particular quote I think it's within the the new bid Thresh threshold and it gives us approximately 1,800 Square ft of acoustical panels um and so uh I would ask the town's committee if if if you're not you
know to either just um authorize the work condition upon approval of the uh qpa review um if you need more time to think about the color that you would like um you know it's up up to you but our next meeting is July
15th you know you can either approve it tonight condition with the condition of the qpa review and approval or we can uh hold it off until the July 15th meeting but I think that we are ready to to move now that we have a qpa on board since our walls are cream and our dice is
brown that we do something on a lighter brown color that something that's not going to be too loud that kind of Blends in with the walls but not too light to where it's going to show dust and dirt I have no comment on the color whatsoever as I have so you agree with me yeah what she said I think it should
be closer to cream well it's one color a little bit darker I think it should be a little bit darker than the color of our walls but not brown uh sand color try to blend it in as much as they could and I would make a motion that we approve this
Janice uh please upon the qpa approving it I will make the motion I'll second yeah because the other the other um quote requests they um were uh either non-responsive or did not meet the specification yeah I know you've been
working on this for like a year now yeah March 20 yeah it was revised so um you know again color-wise just like a a a cream tan creamy color yeah try to match
the wall but a little bit darker a little bit a little bit darker ceiling panels on this and you don't want a chocolate bar on theing if you want no you want something very similar yeah you want a color very similar to what we have yep as close
Okay well I can see if they the white I can see if they can just do the white up for the ceiling so that it's you know doesn't no no white you don't want white on the ceiling you can't clean it yeah you want like the color of you want to
kind of matching want to be hanging yeah they're going be hang match at the best Janice I said Township committee's decision's ation Phillies jerseys they Sunday cream color jerseys something like that
something that cream color we have a motion on the floor motion by Kate and second was By Carolyn any questions on the motion no all right uh roll call or all in favor all in favor all in favor I I
all right eyes have it what else you got Jan unless be has anything as far as upcoming events or anything kind of getting into summer mode where you know we're not you know really having a lot of events uh except the wonderful summer
concerts that W has at the marina I I don't think we have anything really you know we do have a new Facebook page we will mention that um where we not only we posting information via um our
website Delano township.com and email blast if you've signed up for the email but we also have an official um Facebook page for um Delano Township news and events it is a uh it's not monitored it's not a chat Facebook page it's just
for informational purposes so thank you missus for um getting that going and starting and doing all the leg work to get that going and if you search for it it's Delano Township New Jersey Spilled Out yeah it's not the residence of Delano page I
know there are several private Pages this is um new governmental page that is for informational purposes so that's another way of getting information out to Residents good so thank
you that's it thank you all right thank you very much and we will go to uh Township committee reports I'll start on my far left with Mr Patrick no thank you um before I give
my report I do have a question that I'd like to ask and that's regarding the Sha tree Grant um I believe the first year the contractor was supposed to be watering the trees and now we're in that second uh year and I know Bill mat lit
has been out there ordering them himself and uh I don't think his health should allow him to do or allows him to do that but he is and I wonder what we can do what the township committee can do through public works or
the fire department or something to help watering some of these plants because they're going to these trees are going to die this summer and then I don't know how D is going to handle if we're responsible for watering this second
year I don't I I'm not sure I understand that but somehow we need to do something about it I know that they were sending a water the I actually emailed them last week and told them there was another 14 trees that died out there um and the contractor said he was sending a water
truck out there today um and I actually talked to Scott about this and he said it's actually more cost effective for the contractor to let the trees die and just plant new ones then to keep sending watering trucks up here oh um so had volunteered to water him this weekend
which was awful it was so hot out there to see him out there with a bucket and just watering um so the the fire department is not willing to water we ask them on on Saturday or Friday they just don't have the time or the resources to do that did you want to add something
Phil I reced the bill that out to see if Public Works would reach out to the county and have the county bring out first did the uh addition of the event La the county brought out one of wheel
that go around the property and spray we have the two in hook up at the field to allow ventil yeah um and another suggestion was that those bags be put on all the trees the water bags they
weren't put on all the trees and I don't know who would do that but I mean if if it's cheaper if the contractor wants to let them all die I just don't think Bill Matt Levitz should be out there watering these trees I'm sorry that's not his job
and uh and I think we need to take some responsibility here somehow either if we're going to let them die and the contractor is going to replace them next year fine as long as we're within what we can do do under that Grant because if D does not approve that Grant the
township is out that money and that's $220,000 that I don't want to see come out of our pocket two 200 I thought it was 120 no the whole Grant was $220 I don't want to see a dollar come out of our par 100 Grand or 200 Grand yeah I thought it
was 220 you know obviously we can't stop bill from doing that if he wants to do it but you know the the shade tree commission shade tree hasn't even gotten involved with him and I don't know why he hasn't reached out to them but well Shri should submitted this grant um and
they should be resp resp for making sure he Bill matev submitted this grant wasn't on behalf of sh Tre no he did it wasn't on behalf of the township I know that no he he did it and I don't think J Tre was actually involved initially at all uh I just want to make sure that we
are aware of what he's doing that he shouldn't be doing it and that if that's what the contractor said somebody need needs to maybe I'll reach out the bill and say this is what we were told I don't want you the township doesn't want you out there watering them or whatever
the contractor his name is Fred he was out here a couple weeks ago and he removed all the dead and we had come up with a plan and he's working with Steve Lennon to relocate some of the trees change a different species and he's going to plant and fall well he's going to have about 20 to 25 more trees to add
to that list now because there's a bunch of that out there but yeah honestly more effective to let them die and keep pay for labor and then bill needs to know that bill needs to know that the contractor and Steve Lennon made this decision because he doesn't apparently
because someone he was on the email with the rest of them so he he took it upon himself and nobody said don't do it but you know if somebody wants to reach out and say I will yeah I'll reach out to him okay all right just wanted to get that all right so let's see
um daa Del Riv let's see baseball t-ball and softball are winding down playoffs will begin shortly I don't know if they've done that since this last meeting I attended this was in May season they um they reported that our
Fields were in good shape uh fall soccer uh signups are ongoing fall travel softball triy outs and signups opened on June first Riverside Township is contributing $5,000 to Del Riv as as
well well as one half of our insurance costs which will be paid directly to the township uh basketball was discussed and letters requesting the gym will be sent out a letter will also be submitted to Delano Township Board of Ed and Dr Fitz regarding the Walnut Street Gym as it
has been used for practices for the program um they're always in need of someone to work the concessions please check out the website and sign up if you're available uh and if you want to know what is happening be sure to to check out their Weekly Newsletter they
really do keep us in uh up to date on what's going on uh their next meeting is tomorrow night uh at 7:30 here uh the Memorial Day Parade the parade was a bit hot for some Marchers and caused several delays uh the route may be changed next
year I don't know if that was decided at Rec since I did miss that meeting uh the service at Gateway Park is always solemn but enjoyed by all who attend and it's nice to have this Scouts participate and a thank you to all the organizations in town uh who show their Respect by
placing wreaths on our flowers at The Monuments seniors I did visit with the seniors at Living Springs and provided them with some upcoming events uh for them and uh offered um that were offered through the Sheriff's Office and also
rcbc I also provided them with voting applications as well as vote by mail uh we had a pizza party and it's always nice visiting with them uh the Delano seniors had their spring luncheon at forelli on June 11th with 40 members
enjoying a wonderful luncheon um they will not be meeting again until September 10th and they will be moving their meeting place to the Firehouse beginning in the fall I was unable to attend for telly since I was on a cruise to Alaska with my daughter
great time uh history board I worked with Peter Fritz on Sunday June 2nd in setting up the Waterman's display out in the lobby uh as you will know many of the items on display are my possessions they were my grandfather's Tommy
Fitzpatrick is it um an Abid Hunter and a decoy Carver he lived in a house boat on the Delaware River that he built that was dry docked on Stockton's property uh I have several books of interest that he's in and that I I had hoped to be
here on the 15th but when I returned from my trip I was sick so I didn't make it uh but it is my hope that some of you take a look at the display because uh I'm very proud of the work that my grandfather did he har hand carved
everything from the wood that drifted along the water and he made his own tools and uh he's very well known um and and some of his decoys are quite expensive today uh the fod m maintenance meeting
several members of Rec ma met with the professionals and contractors to make sure the new pump station was working properly it appears our new contractor Jim mchu is following up on the issues and concerns and is our hope that all the problems are worked out so our
fields are usable and looking good for soccer sewage Authority they met on uh June the 11th unable to attend but the chairman did send me um an update uh trunk line project the pipelining has been
completed and ER is working with a contractor to complete the final paperwork uh this should be done by sewers next meeting which will be July uh 989 coopertown Road uh it appears they're showing some activity
and the chairman requested ER to make some arrangements to check out the drain situation building drains should not empty into our sanitary sewer system so uh I'm sure they're going to be looking into that uh the work at the pump
station is progressing uh the emergency backup pump and the submersible pumps have been delivered we're waiting for the contractor to provide an updated work schedule uh Styx has no update and the operator report is on file and the
Waterfront Historic Park which you've just seen this wonderful presentation tonight several members of wreck uh Carolyn Al Steven lure um Matt has been working on it
myself went available and Scott they we did meet U via Zoom to go over the latest details so this presentation could be completed and um that's all I have to say thank you thank you Kate welcome
back thank you right go to my far right Mr Templeton good even evening uh try to make this quick so Mr Schwab can get out of here and get some sleep tonight uh let's see uh just to touch on uh What uh M Fitzpatrick had mentioned
the Memorial Day Parade uh maybe we should consider having that on a different day that we're not backed into a Sunday afternoon with hot days and so forth so um if we had a parade on the weekend
like we just experienced that's not going to be a good thing for the public or the Marchers so uh maybe we need to consider U having it on the could you speak up Mike I can't hear you uh just suggesting the a relook at the what day to have the Memorial Day Parade
instead of the Sunday afternoon since uh our summer days seem to be getting hotter and so forth that uh uh maybe look at Saturday morning or or the Monday morning for the holiday I can't do it Monday because it's Riverside spr
well it's something you know Sunday morning even Sunday morning maybe Sunday morning just something to get away from the afternoon heat just a suggestion uh let's see uh attended a webinar a couple back on May 30th uh
organized by Congressman C's office with the core of engineers uh it's basically an introduction to the different funding programs that the core has um you're talking about a bureaucracy that would drive you nuts to the core of engineers can provide that but um uh one of the
things I suggested or asked about at the end of it was uh this was this meeting was actually generated by out of Delan due to the flooding that they had back in January and the core has authorized some funding to study it over the next
couple years the difficulties that one neighborhood along the ran cookus has and uh one of the things after the various people from the Philadelphia district office uh talked about U I said well what about uh some kind of funding
study for uh the various water authorities uh sewage treatment plants in our communities uh Beverly that we partner with Willingboro um Delan camens and Riverton and so forth we're all
subject they're all you know Waterfront facilities they're all subject to the same hazards and risk climate change and so forth and uh what I mentioned was you know if Hurricane Sandy had tracked 60 or 80 miles farther south the flooding that
occurred in North Jersey and New York City would have occurred in Philadelphia and the Delaware Bay and up the river so um it's something that uh um actually it got a a fair number of good responses from various Mayors and people that were on that webinar so maybe something that
that'll be the start of something that we can look at hardening the infrastructure or some kind of uh uh various funding or studies to elevate uh some of the hardware that these plants or dikes or things like that uh if we've
got six sewage treatment plants and 100,000 people that can't flush the toilet for a week that's that's a problem so uh but obviously a long range effort uh let's see uh Board of aded Library committee I've been working with
Mr Bartlett we've had two very conducted meetings with the Schoolboard subcommittee on establishing or renewing the uh the agreements with the use of the library or that shared the the jointure to use the Antiquated term um
that the partnership with the school district and the township established back in 1987 so we're moving forward with that uh as a general framework we're looking at two agreements one that establishes the long-term residency of the public and school
library at Pearson school and a shorter term agreement that would uh accommodate the financial uh and Equitable and fair uh uh uh accounting of cost and expenses both to the school and to the township
to maintain this important resource for the community so uh feel like to add something when during your comments as well uh the lead G graduation law enforcement against drugs uh that Sergeant Dearing had back last week on
the 14th uh great presentation by the kids in the fifth grade uh some great uh essays that they wrote on on and a credit to Sergeant Dearing he's been doing that for several years and really does a good job has a great report of the kids but
it's it's a pedal bental gymnastics here we're we're talking to kids about the uh U steering clear of U you know drugs and addiction issues and things like that and yet on the other side we've
got a state by referendum and municipalities and and with with cannabis and municipalities looking at the various levels of cannabis uh uh sales from retail and so forth and it's just kind of a a little bit of a head Snapper that uh
we're telling kids one thing and yet walking out the door uh someone's walking down the street pushing a baby stroll or smoking uh whatever so uh it's something our society is not quite just seems in conflict with each other
so uh let's see got that got that got that uh the monthly court session um let's see been going to the school board meetings and so forth uh or I really encourage people whether you've got kids in school or not attend our school board
meetings our school district uh is trying to overcome a lot of um difficulties uh financial and academic and uh uh it's it's imperative that the public our community be
informed as to uh their their State of Affairs and what uh what needs to be done to uh straighten things out so it's um I would hope well more questions need to be asked more questions need to be
answered and uh people just uh it this is important for for our kids uh the young people in our community and this is one of the uh the important things the community does is provide a a safe environment and quality education for
our young people and uh that's U fallen short in the last a decade or so so um and um yesterday we had uh pretty violent storm that blew through town
6:00 6:30 yesterday uh credit to Public Works to the police department fire police uh fire department getting out there and uh and make making things safe um I will say this and mayor Bartley can
certainly add in um after a storm it's not it's it's it's not Pirates of the Caribbean this is not the time to take a tour around town and see what's uh what trees got blown down blown down or what got damaged uh it was just a parade of
cars everywhere you know I looked and I was out helping neighbors clearing trees and so forth from the roadways and getting them off you know rooftops but people just gawking and driving around and getting in the way of emergency response or utilities or things like
that um you know yeah get out check your house help your neighbors but don't get in your car and start driving around and clogging up the streets and there's wire down wires down there are branches that are still falling and you don't need to add to something else that our Emergency
Services need to respond to so I ask uh I I I keep going back to the Deets and Watson fire and uh was out there uh and people pulled up and it was like Disneyland and someone pulled up and right in front of a fire hydron and blocked it and got out and stood there
and watched the fire uh while the fire truck drove by looking for a hydrant so um just common sense please and makes it safe for emergency response thank you thank you Mike F your

miracle for mly event that is for a young lady in our town battling red syndrome we go every year it's a great event that fundraises for the Cure of R syndrome I was part of the public work subcommittee meeting on June 6th with Mr
Bartlett uh Mr Schwab and Mr fenmore we meet every six seven weeks uh to just kind of touch base see what's going on in town discuss our concerns John kind of tells us what his plans are and uh I think it's a great great thing that we
do to keep in touch with our Public Works on June 12th that was our cfo's retirement luncheon I was uh filling in for the mayor and was able to read uh the proclamation to Bob and thank him for his many years of service uh that
evening I attended the crossings HOA meeting and was accompanied by mayor Bartlett um Sergeant deing U Mr mcfaden was there Cindy had graciously invited us to come out and speak with the residents um address some of their
concerns that they had and some ongoing issues that they to have with their developer uh we had a couple takeaways some questions and I think we were able to get some answers for some of them and things seem to be progressing fingers
crossed uh the seaw wall preconstruction meeting I attended that was on the 11th we met with the contractor a few of us on the committee here um to meet with them to go over what the plans are for the seaw wall um kind of what our expectations are there's a whole plan it was my first actual preconstruction
meeting it was a cool process to see how that goes down um contractors really anxious they seem to be working out there already clearing the lot and they will begin their actual pile driving the Monday after 4th of July so if you don't see any activity down there that's why
um let's see what else Recreations meeting was on June 13th um standard business the concerts are on going right now till midt they did approve the historic Waterfront Park plan and did officially rename it to Historic
Waterfront Park they also are going to have another movie night they're going to have their own movie set up now outdoor movie screen with a projector instead of hiring a company and going through that rig roll so September 14th they're going to have another family movie night and
they actually are going to pair with the police department and host cookout with a cop so um the Delano police force will be out there so make sure you mark that on your calendar come out meet with the officers have some good food and then stay for movie night June 19th was our code enforcement
subcommittee meeting that we have every few months with our code enforcement uh Aon mcfaden and the mayor as well as well as Richard or Janice um we go over all the outstanding violations kind of tell us where things are what process
they're in if they're going to court um we talk about our concerns so that the code enforcement can address that and that's been a very productive uh sub commmittee meeting as well try to keep our town looking nice and get all the violations kind of taken care
of else do I have here uh this past Friday I met with Scott via zoom and um Miss Fitzpatrick and Steven lore to discuss the park plans more in detail figure out exactly what specs we needed and that was
productive so we seem to be moving right along with that I had a meeting with Harry today as Richard and Janice were on as well as Matt was invited but he was on another call just to go over every meeting that Harry's not here we're going to as part of the public
work subcommittee meeting meet with him discuss the projects he can give us an update on where things stand we can address our concerns if we have anything it's just a status with everything that's ongoing right now we just want to make sure we're on our dead our timelines and that things are progressing um because there are a lot of things happening right now in town
which is a good thing of course um the boat ramp plans I asked Harry today if we actually had any boat ramp plans CU Mike had mentioned that was at our rec meeting that was the next project that we were going to move along with as part of Steve wall and he said there was some preliminary plans but he
was going to get us a cost estimate with his fees and actually start moving forward to get those plans moving along so we can get that boat ramp um done finally get it dug out and repaved and have the emergency access only for that
so he is working on that I think that's all I have here oh he is also going to take care of the permit for the waterr park structure Harry is going to do that um we can't have the Gazebo there without a permit he says it's a very easy permitting process it just needs to be uh submitted for a
structure it's not a big deal at all so I think that's all I have hope that was a jinx right there no he he assured me it was fine defense at the Field of Dreams that's going to go along the the street is ordered and will be installed
in mid till Late July it's just a little I think twot fence that just prevents people from parking on the event lawn and then it's going to jut out at the softball field about 20 ft in so people can actually park there for overflow parking they can park on the lawn so that fence will be installed mid to late
July that's all I have good all right good job let's see been a busy month uh let's see since uh the last update on May 20th I attended um at Pearson school they had a flag dedication ceremony Mike was there for
that as well a new flag donated by Senator Singleton and Congressman Kim that was back on May 23rd we had the Memorial Day parades we participated in I was Delano and riversides with the fire company on the 25th and 26th had Fire Commission meeting on May

great job can't say anything uh bad about the show everyone loved it I attended our public work subcommittee on June 6th uh met with Fern on the 7th we went through the sign ordinance that's up later on the agenda tonight uh attended the
precon for the zerber seawall or the historic Waterfront Park at seaw wall on the 11th and the library subcommittee with Mike that that evening uh then we attended the library board meeting afterwards so it was a fun-filled day I attended the retirement lunch for Bob
hudnell uh he's spent I think it was almost what 30 years with us so 2 26 sorry yeah don't want to give him too much there but uh he's done great for our town I forget who I said this to but um you know he's always in his office back
there we don't need to say hey Bob what's going on with this it just gets done you know you never have to double check what Bob's doing it just gets done so and he's served our town great for the last 26 years you don't even know he's here you you don't even know he's here until he wanders out to use the
copier or something there he is hey Bob but um congrats to him uh later that evening I attended the crossings HOA meeting that we were invited to I attended the fifth grade lead graduation at Pearson School uh as Mike mentioned
uh sergeant deing he does really a really good job of those kids they look up to him they respect him and you know nowadays you need kids to start respecting the law enforcement before they get into Old older teenagers and
young adults uh because we see how that works out otherwise in this program here that Rob does with these students it's can't speak highly enough with him uh I attended the Delano history boards open house on June
15th I attended our code enforcement subcommittee meeting on the 19th then the Board of Ed meeting later that evening and as Mike said even if you don't have any kids in the district get your butts out go to the board of ed meeting know what's going on in this
community in our schools U every meeting it's normally the same people there which is great that everyone who normally goes there is there but it would be even better if more people go learn what's going on in your school
district same thing here and I love that everybody's here it's usually the same cast of characters who come to watch our Township committee meeting except we have some new guests in the front row this evening thank you for coming but uh you know we'd love people come out to our meetings as well just to to learn what's going on in your community I know
we have open access now on YouTube so you could watch it if you can't attend but it's always great to attend so you could ask the questions in person same at our school boards uh where else then finally last night we had the big storm run through town and
so did I uh doing the preliminary damage assessment for our office of emergency management uh we had a lot of down trees a lot of wires down we had a resident who lost the Gazebo on the Delaware River which was a shame um so it was
definitely a lot through town I spent a good portion of today on the phone with Public Service trying to get them out there to address the issue on Delaware Avenue over by Cedar and Willow streets with some primary lines that went down last night that I Babys sat for an hour
while uh we got that ped off so it was was a busy day trying to uh get the town back in one piece we had our Public Works guys out they were out last night uh every one of them came into work uh thank you to Mr fenmore for getting that taken care of last night to just try to
pick up all that brush and tree limbs and everything else that got blown down last night and again about 400 p.m. today with the wind that came through for them to pick up again tomorrow so that was my month in a nutshell uh one more thing before we get
back to the agenda we have a proclamation we were going to read this at the history board open house for Babe Ruth day however due to the uh we forgot that's the reason we didn't so I'm going to read this now this is the um Township
of Delano Proclamation anniversary which is July 1st 2024 Babe Ruth day whereas July 1st 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of that famous day in Delano history when baseball star Babe Ruth made his Mark for all time on our
town and whereas 5,000 Spectators which is just about the number of residents we have in this town right now came from far and wide to the little town of Delano the night of July 1st 19 1924 to see George Herman Ruth the babe the
mightiest Slugger of all time and whereas their hearts tripped hammered in the height of Joy when the Bambino clouted the horse hiide into the realm of space beyond who who beyond the top of the
right J's good at writing good job B whereas Ruth was responsible for all of Delano's runs and whereas the Babe hit two hits a double and a homer scored two runs into two the crowds Delight pilford third base and whereas it was on his third trip to the plate that the Sultan
of Swat did his stuff and whereas pitcher Sweeney worked the Babe into three and two count the next pitch was a little high but was in Babe's Groove as he socked into a terrific thump I felt like I was here right at that game reading this and the pellet sailed Far
and Away over the fence in the right field for the first time in history of the Delano Park and whereas the Bambinos Homer wins for Delano over the Burlington County Stars 4 to2 whereas this historic day in Delano ended with a dinner in honor of Babe Ruth by the
athletic association accompanied by trainer Woods of the Yankees whereby a lad named the by the name of Hecker Wilson appeared at the dinner table in quest of Ruth's signature on the Home Run bow and as usual was
successful whereas big days will come and go in the lives of Burlington County sports fans but Babe Ruth delay day in Delano on July 1st 1924 will never be forgotten by those who were there now for now therefore be
it proclaimed that I Matthew B mayor of the township of Delano in the county of Burlington and state of New Jersey do hereby Proclaim July 1st 2024 as the 100th anniversary celebration of Delano Babe Ruth day so this historic sporting
event will live on in the memory of one of Delano delank go Finest Hours for all to come so that was great job writing this Bev I think Janice WR it I think we used every I think we used
every name no she threw it at Bev I no I was just being factious actually historically um yes Babe Ruth did play a ball game a baseball game here in Delano but actually with some minor edits over the years this Proclamation has been
utilized for many many years it original author if I may please was Richard Mueller yes dick yeah he was he was a recreation chairman at the time I think oh yes when we had the first Babe Ruth
day here I think I was on Recreation then way back when Phil were you on then when Dick Mueller was the chairman right at that game I think dick was considered Mr Recreation he started tennis leagues and
all kind bowling league all kinds of things and actually that's the Pavilion out at Field of Dreams is named in his honor so uh that is to give credit where credit is due um Mr Mueller dick Mueller is um you know uh responsible for the uh
writing of that responsible in a good way yes absolutely and he made sure to use every name possible you could get everything Bambino salt in the SWAT George Herman Ruth is full name the babe yeah a lot of history in that Proclamation well great job reading that
because I felt like I was there watching the game I Take Me Out to the Ball Game and there will be a bab Ruth G bab Ruth Day game this year it's September theth I think something like that September 7th yeah we we'll go for that and uh it
will be the uh 100th anniversary of the game so we look forward to seeing everybody out there yep uh mayor I got one item I forgot sure uh this is uh the power of one phone call um back
on May 22nd I had uh composed a letter I was going to send to the County Commissioners and various uh uh legislators uh and mayors of the river towns about the the loud noise that comes from Philadelphia from these boom
car parties and stuff mainly down at Pleasant Hill Park on lynon Avenue in Philadelphia public uh park down there and uh anyway wrote this letter and uh thought this would be a a good time uh we seem to have a mayor in in
Philadelphia mayor charal Parker that's very aggressive and focusing on quality of life issues and you know uh trying to direct the limited resources of her City into various things cleanup or addressing the ATV trail bikes uh and
all kinds of issues that the her city is dealing with now but I thought this was a good opportunity if we could get a a coalition of our legislators and the county and Mayors together and and um approach the Philadelphia mayor with
this anyway I wasn't quite sure what to do with it after I wrote the letter and I called the senator Singleton's office uh chief of staff is Jennifer aian uh who I've dealt with for many years and uh she's easy to talk to and always
you know straight shooter and anyway outed that what I had written and and I thought it was a good idea and so forth and she said well let you know let me think about it so um uh this past week uh June 18th uh
Senator Singleton put out a press release uh and there was a joint letter that had uh the County Commissioners and senator Singleton and assembly men Conway and assembly woman Murphy and so forth all a joint letter to Mayor Parker
uh citing the issue with h this loud noise that affects all the river towns and all the way deep into Mount Laurel and Morristown even um and um you know she forwarded that press release to me and I think that got distributed and so forth and then the next day the 19th we
were the big that was the big story on Action News it was a front page uh item there so um and I got a thank you note later from uh Jenifer for for the idea there but uh uh sometimes a phone call
helps so anyway hopefully something will be addressed in uh mayor Parker in Philadelphia can uh you know it's just like a an officer uh pulling someone over for speeding it tends to have a much greater impact than that individual
citation that people see uh someone gets nabbed or gets a citation uh uh or not but you see that a cops pulled over and the lights are flashing and said I'm going to slow down there and I'll probably do that next week too so anyway anyway just wanted to toss that out and
that's uh I certainly hope there is uh some light to the end of this tunnel because uh sentiment and chief Rich calibrii has attempted to get this taken care of with uh the Philadelphia Police Department 5
years yeah at least Y retired I said retired right Cali yeah retired he just retired last month he done y it's been P deals with it all day long people from palra call the 15th all day long I call I've called I can't tell how many times
but they have reported it in the inquire the letter that was sent and um the mayor have received it so I mean they're working on it let's see what let's see if they do success they have I think it's a hopefully a good thing all right
you know what you throwing one more thing in reminded me I have one more thing um we've been dealing with this bridge flooding for God knows how long now uh I noticed during my drive over the weekend that uh the county just started installing Road flooded signs in
Riverside wait for it Mike right in front of the watch case building just before you get to the flooded Road and they also just put the posts up in Delano the signs aren't on it yet but it's the same posts um right at The Crossing At L Deli and right at the bend
by the flashy light behind so basically yeah behind a tree you can't even see it basically they put it where it doesn't need to go it should be back by the traffic light to the ver traffic down Cooper Town Road Cooper Street so you don't go to the bridge and go through
the residential neighborhood yeah but they to you guys about that you didn't know about it right Chief made I don't we didn't know he may have I don't yeah it was no I spoke to the chief on Friday he didn't know about it they do what they and basically the county just
helped us out by yeah doing what they do best so I wrote an email to uh Joe brookley of the county Engineers office today to see if they could put it where it actually should belong uh in the area of the BP gas station each direction to
send cars either up Burlington Avenue or down Cooper so we'll see where that goes so were they doing it today I saw them on Burlington Avenue today the uh I didn't see them out they had the posts up on I sawt Avenue today and I wondered what they were doing there's been a lot
of people in brington public servic county county it was a county I haven't uh driven down that part today it was Burlington Avenue I've lived on Delaware Avenue today so literally can't see it until you come up on it what it behind a tree yeah Road flooded one flashing or
something right yeah Road flooded went flashing so when you get to get to the bridge it's going to be closed you'll know it's because the road was flooded and then you have to turn at lose real quick or you have to turn at rain COC right so made no sense you'll know by the time you get there because you'll
see the cones anyway yeah so it should have been way back so um yeah we'll see if we can get this fixed Common Sense more Comm all right uh consent agenda items consent agenda items are considered to be

the B all right we will close this public session um and discussion items one item on the agenda tonight is proposed amendments to the sign ordinance and this has been something that um it's
been in place since I'm going to say 21 when um T Design Group and the planning board came up with these revised uh sign ordinance uh sign ordinance revisions uh we have a sign ordinance subcommittee uh
which has been Mr olette and myself and as we mentioned at the last meeting we drove through town looked at the variety of different types of signage through town looked at what currently complies with our sign ordinance what does do comply with our sign ordinance what our
sign ordinance should Encompass and what it should not Encompass um I think we did a pretty good job of coming up with some suggested revisions anything you want to add in there fir as we drove around uh and looking at
the signage uh and looking at the ordinance uh we tried to take a realistic approach uh to where signage is uh the one that comes to mind uh that uh something as
simple as uh we're not supposed to talk politics but we have political signs that come out at election day or in election time and how we handle those uh you know was a 10- foot setback and then uh different setbacks for different
signage uh as we went through the ordinance we tried to streamline everything to 7 ft uh and uh you know number of signs you know what makes sense what doesn't make sense uh so as
we went through uh the revisions that uh we have in the ordinance and now we're asking the rest of the committee to take a look at this and uh to the revisions that we've made give us some read
through it give us some thought come back to us and uh see what we may have missed or maybe we overstepped our our bounds I'm going to I'm going to have to send you the ver I'll send everybody the version that's in color it probably be
easier to read look like the Black and Whites were sent out um but yeah because Taylor had some revisions originally and that's ones that are ones got the oh you have it great yeah that was that's theend that's the original one that's the agenda in the agenda packet that was
and you have the the ones with the yellow highlights yeah I don't have I I didn't have it in color okay yeah you do have that all right hard to read s feet s feet off the curve line from the curve line yeah curve line oh okay CU I have to check that out s feet could be my por
so it's like the three feet between the curve and the sidewalk and I sidewalk so I don't have that right and um and in some cases it was previously was 10 ft yeah so uh but we put in there maybe five my yeah we put in there if the distance between the edge of the street Paving and the edge of the dwelling or
building or the structure is less than the 7 ft the sign shall be permitted at a lesser distance as may be required and that's not just for political signs that's like a a house for sale sign things like that inter and I only remember that because when I had a house for sale in
budwood Street back in 2005 it um the houses of street are right on the sidewalk and the code officer at the time took my sign because it was where it could be right between the curb and the sidewalk cuz there was
nowhere you may remember that on committee there was no place to put the sign at the time so we took it because it violated the ordinance but there was literally nowhere to put it without the sign being in my living room so that was just one of the uh idioc secrecies of the ordinance that were're trying to fix
so things like that don't happen yeah we did yep we had the feather signs in there I looked for it I couldn't find it somewhere yeah I couldn't find that yeah there there was a section on we took a look feathered signs um was come up
underneath awnings oh was that considered under the awnings it's not an awning no it's in uh yeah I could find no number five the uh exemption the end of
B little numeral five if you're on the papers that are in the packet it's the back side of the first page of the right the last sentence up there oh okay what's the paragraph reference uh
1107b the new one is five uh yeah five the end of five right there right at the end of it highlight it says do not one per business what do not exceed we Fern mentioned that earlier we missed a
word and if they're in a corner situation could they have one on each yep that's what it says there one per business per Street Frontage okay now I understand it better yeah I'm fine with this it works better with the word exceed in yeah it does
yeah yeah I I read through on the uh real estate did a nice job we have oh my God nightmare five square feet yes so it's like two and a half by two and a half for 2 by3 two by no be six uh something
like that we measured um actual real estate signs and the four square feet that's currently in there doesn't exist for a standard real estate sign so five seem to be the happy medium of all the standards that are out there okay not
that I think anyone is going out there measuring a real estate sign but we should be as close we should be as close as possible and you know do things that are actual real world as opposed to something that just is an arbitrary number yeah give or take
yeah well the one thing on the commercial industrial real estate signs uh real estate signs should not exceed 16 square ft on each side so 4x4 sign sheet of plywood like the one that's out half sheet of plywood
yeah but 16 square F feet on the side doesn't make sense here what number under paragraph let's see 12d commercial industrial real
estate oh okay that was the language that Taylor came up with yeah should not exceed an area of 16 square ft not 16 square ft on a side oh yeah not exceed an area of 16 square ft
right and there's a similar similar language in the take this side paragraph above it residential five Square fet on each side 5 Square ft in area in area yeah yeah we we fixed there was a couple
other things like that in the ordinance uh where a unit of measure was left out or yeah and I would suggest I don't like feather flag banners but anyway it's here but I would
put that under it under a separate paragraph because I'll take that back and then just so you're aware the numbering of the new paragraph numbers I just couldn't get into edit in word it's the like for example the uh the no sign
other than Street traffic that it's not seven it's little six be you had trouble editing in word with the automatic numbering yes it really is awesome it'll be perfected in the final version I get my
all right we'll look at it all right and forward our comments very good and just for um procedural wise once we have it in uh procedure wise he tried to say uh once it's in final form
uh we Janice we would refer to the uh joint L use board for consistency correct or send it back to them with our edits since it originated from them well the consistency review is after you introduce the ordinance officially inro
uh and it's uh would go for um if it qualifies it uh for master plan consistency review so um but if you wanted them to review it before you introduce it you can just send it back to them formally no for um reason for
that you know they did this they came we fixed it so what you would do if you didn't want to do that you would when you're ready to introduce this has to be put in the um ordinance form ordinance form you would introduce it on first reading by title only set a public
hearing date and then what provision one to so you are yes it would have to go to the um joint landage board for a consistency review right and that would have to happen prior to the second reading in public hearing and then adoption so we'll work on the timing of that and figure right third July meeting
is canel okay we have yeah so maybe if we um everyone can get our comments back to Fern and myself this week we could get this on our uh July agenda for first read if we
we get it into ordinance form right and then um I believe the July meeting well the June 20 seventh meeting is cancelled what is the next meeting that um so we can get
on AUST be August on your July the August 6 we do it July 15th you introduce it on July 15th and then it goes to them to August there was there used to be a calendar right okay we'll figure out the time but if everyone get their comments back to
us and we'll work with yeah Janice and Doug and get this done yeah so if you introduce the 15th it would be referred to the planning board for August sixth
meeting and then you could adopt on the 19th of August okay public Hearing in 19th we could shoot for that and we'll see how we uh make out very good thank you very much Richard s Richard s does anyone have
anything else before we uh send Richard to count some Sheep No all right I will I don't think we need an executive session I'll ask for a motion to adjourn so moved second second oh thank God someone second that all in favor I all
right thank you very much wait you didn't have I didn't realize you were here tonight you don't have anything he just he just miled into the Chip have a good night everybody
