emancipation day observations are held on different days in different states in the south and southwest and in other parts of the nation. And whereas June 19th has a special meaning to those who wish to commemorate this day and is
called Junth combining the words June and 19th. and has been celebrated by some in the African-American comm community for over 150 years. And whereas Mayor Jason F.

Thanks, Councilman Scott. For DPW, they routinely clean the downtown and all the burough parks and properties, weekly lawn and landscape maintenance of the burough parks and properties, maintained the ball fields, assisted in construction offices, moved to the burough hall, completed or worked on the
mural installations, did a sweepings run. Uh multiple plants were replaced in the planter at Columbia Park near the Columbia Street entrance and they paved the walkway to the senior center as previously reported. In the mechanics division, they service the police fleet vehicles as they come due for maintenance or breakdowns. They service
the DPW fleet as they're due for maintenance or breakdowns. Continue to service all the lawn equipment for continued operation through the season. Repaired multiple drivability issues with troll car 506. Diagnosed a bad transmission control module. repaired
and reprogrammed the TCN, diagnosed the lack of air conditioning in the senior bus, and they set up an account for purchasing repair parts for the bus, and they diagnosed an AC faulty AC system in the street sweeper, set PM service for the snorkel and repair
parts, and previously done through Northeast Sweeper. And that's the DPW report. Okay. Thank you, C. Speaking of planters, um, some of the other planters in Columbia Park need to be kind of fixed. I noticed on my walk
and talk with the mayor when I was walking by myself. Um, good. And then if maybe the summer camp could think about as a project, maybe putting new flowers in them because they're kind of uh, errant. Just a thought.
Thanks. I have few of those once in a while. Council President Sigman. Uh yes, the mayor's traffic and pedestrian safety task force wrapped up its second annual uh walk to school Wednesday initiative
where we had over 48 uh participants uh walk to school numerous times during the run of this program. uh and we will be recognizing them and acknowledging them and want to thank Rome Pizza uh for providing uh gift certificates for them
to get a free slice and a drink uh for participating in the program. And that is all for me. That's great. Thank you. Um before I get to my report, I'm happy to be able to welcome back Councilman How Vandermark virtually this
evening. Um hopefully soon to be in person. For those that don't know, Councilman Vandermark um had some personal matters that if he wishes to discuss, he can discuss. But um we're very happy that he's alive and well and he's with us. And Councilman, it's my
privilege to yield the floor to you and welcome you back. And if you have anything to report on this evening, um I have nothing to report on, but um thank you, mayor. And uh yes um I recently in March underwent a uh heart and kidney
transplant. Everything's doing well. I'm under recovery and should be back hopefully next month. Oh, wonderful. That or the month after.
But my uh recovery is going well and should be around soon. Well, we're happy to hear about that. Councilman and God bless you. We'll continue to pray for you and your family and we are looking forward to the day that you can step into the chambers with us and uh join us in our council meeting. So, God bless
you and thank you. We're happy that you're here. Thank you. Okay. So, we'll continue uh my report for this evening. Um just a quick congratulations to the students at Lincoln Middle School and Denal High School on their graduation. We're
wishing you all the best uh in your future endeavors and uh to the high schoolers and of course to the middle schoolers who are transitioning into uh high school their their last four years in our public school system. Um as we noted earlier in the proclamation, Burough Hall is closed on Thursday for
Junth as a reminder. Um so we will reopen on Friday, June 20th and we are currently under summer hours which goes until 1:30 on Fridays. 1 pm. Oh, to 8:30 to 1 pm. That concludes when
September Labor Day weekend. Okay. Thank you. Uh, Music in the Park. Um, if I'm repeating anything, I apologize. Music in the park series begins this Thursday at 7 p.m. Funk and Mottown band colorblind uh will be there. Um, so
we're looking forward to having them. Um, in the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved to the following Thursday, June 26th, and the Music in the Park series will take place every other week until August 21st. So, please join us. It's always a fun time.
Uh, the Madison Avenue Mural unveiling is this Saturday, the 21st, bright day every day by Ogul Tapia at 11:00 a.m. at the uh Madison Avenue Bridge. So, join us for that celebration. um fire department street fair Saturday 11:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. And then um CME Associates will be providing us a memo too on the 20 fiscal year 2026 local aid grants uh that we apply for every year. I believe over the last five years we've been able to get upward of
close to five or six million for projects around town maybe a little less than that. the DOT's closer to eight. Okay, I was being more conservative. Um, first up that CME is recommending in our conversations is the
municipal aid program. Um, the recommendation is to pave Second Street from North Washington A to Jefferson Avenue. So, between the three phases which we got grant for phase one which is currently going on which is Matt uh Madison to the Middle Sex border. Phase
two will be Madison to Washington. And then phase three, if we get the grant, would be Washington to the border of Planefield, which means we would have the entire street of Second Street paved underneath a grant. So, that's uh pretty good news if we're able to get the third
one. Either way, the first two were grant money. Uh safe streets, the transit program, um completing the missing segments of sidewalks along New Market is a consideration. Um, so that might be a good one for us to consider. Uh, transit village program. Uh,
lighting along the first block of side streets along North Avenue or Bound Brook Road. Uh, so along the New Jersey State Highway 28. So basically, we got a grant to complete the remainder of Route 28 for all the decorative lighting. This would go, if we went this
way, would go one block in from the Route 28 corridor. So on Sanford, if I'm doing this right, Madison, Lincoln, Prospect, Jackson, we'll check on Jefferson if that makes
sense. Only go one side and playing field side wouldn't have it. Um, so that's one thought. Basically, that's the entire redevelopment area and what is viewed as our whole downtown. Um, and then the other one that we're thinking, uh, is the improvements to parking lot near the train station. So, train
station parking lot improvement, probably site engineering for new for enhanced parking and maybe some sidewalk improvement around there. So, Transit Village, we got two choices uh to consider when the time comes. Uh but CME will um certainly be providing a memo
for us to consider when that time comes. Uh the second street phase one NJ dot project. So that phase one is approximately 75% complete with concrete work for the curb and gutter and sidewalks. Trees per the contract and requested uh trees per the contract and
requested by the burrow have been removed. Uh depending on the weather over the next couple of weeks, uh the contractor may complete the concrete work by June 20th. Fingers crossed. Uh the remaining items include new installing new roadway and pedestrian signage, milling and paving, and final
restoration of uh properties that were kind of messed up. New Jersey American water projects, we got the South Avenue project. The contractor for NJW is finishing the new water man upgrade from 8 in 12-in water man on South Avenue between Palaski and Hall Street. Um the
Whittier Avenue CRJ is on the last block of Whittier A and water service has been installed in each residential home. Um, Alex Miller addressed a few residential concerns last week with New Jersey American Water and CRJ. Um, just as a reminder, the working hours per
ordinance are from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CRJ was told that they cannot work after 7:00 p.m. unless there's an emergency. Um, well, should be 5:00 p.m. Not able to work past 5:00 p.m. unless there's an emergency and they need approval from the New
Jersey American Water and Burrow before they do that. Um we were having issues with that which we handled. Uh water flushing after installing new water services. Upon completing the new water services, CRJ must turn on the outside faucet at each home to flush out any air in the water uh line from new
connection. Uh before the flushing, the contractor is instructed to knock on the resident's doors to inform them of the flushing. If that is not occurring, we need you to uh call Burrow Hall. If Burrow Hall is closed, um there should have been on all the letters the contact information uh for New Jersey American
Water. And if all else fails, you can call the non-emergency line uh 7329683000 extension 0 to report it. And then that will get to the appropriate channels that it should get to. Um 200 block Penfield Place, uh which is
the 2024 New Jersey American Water project. Um, American Water has notified the bureau that they'll be performing inspections and possible repair work starting Monday, June 16th as a precaution due to some recently recent discoveries of an incorrect sewer lateral repair at uh, eight locations
that required excavation and correction. So, uh, due to this discovery, the bureau has required that the contractors representing New Jersey American Water inspect the immediate area of concern to see if additional work is necessary. Pars sewer utility will be present on behalf of the burrow and will be on site to oversee all inspections and any
repair work that might be conducted. The work is expected to last for approximately one week weather pending. The street will be mil and paved appro approximately 90 days after the completion of this work. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and are committed to holding the contractor accountable to ensure they fix this
mistake to prevent any potential issues from arising in the future. So um all projects going on after 90 days upon their completion for the water man and laterals etc they will be repaved fully repaved after 90 days. So we'll be getting new roads out of this and some
enhanced striping because we have been moving towards uh enhanced striping for traffic coming measures. Um, so and again, we apologize for the inconvenience for some of this work getting done, but they've knocked on our doors and they want to get American
Waters to invest all this money. They're not investing in every single town. They're investing in the towns that work with them. So, after this shield, they'll have invested over $20 million in our community in just a 5-year period. And that's replacing 180 year old pipes and laterals, etc. So, um, we
all understand this is a inconvenience. It's a short-term inconvenience for a long-term gain. So, I think we have to just keep focused on that. Again, I apologize on behalf of the bureau. Um, but we're working here in partnership with you. So, if you see something, say something. We can only do something if
you make sure you say something. And we do have our on-site inspectors, too, but they don't have eyes all over the place either. So, um, it's called community for a reason. It takes a village. Okay. So, with that,
we'll open the floor to Yeah. Correct. [Music] Yeah. Yes. And I know there were some questions, too. Thank you for bringing that up from the public about why are
they doing it during the school year? Why can't they do it later in the year? It's exactly what Mr. Miller just stated. You do it any later in the year, you have to wait the 90-day periods, then you're up against the weather for milling and paving, and then you're against the plows, against that not so nicely uh
not well paved because it's not paved. It's all patches going up against it and you really don't want water getting in any crevices. What was that beeping? Oh, there we go. Um, so that's why some of the work was done earlier in the year. So before the weather gets cold, the roads can be repaved. Um, so there will
be some roads like Walnut. Um, potentially new market, although the countyy's going to love that they just paved it last year, but that was on their part to coordinate it, not us. Um, so, uh, that might get repaved next year just because of the timing. We're going
to push every best effort to get it paved this year, but, um, it might be spring when the weather finally breaks. So, yeah. Okay. Item number 10 on the agenda. Well, nine, we don't have council discussion. Item number 10 is department head report. So, legal,
anything to report? No report. That's always refreshing. Clerk, registar, no reports there. How the elections go with everything? Pretty good. The three voting locations, I think it's separated. Lincoln Middle School, we took four and then we separated them. So, each polling
location has two school. I just want to publicly note um Mrs. Stats, you know, is requested earlier this year that we move from Lincoln Middle School uh due to the concerns from the school district. Mrs. stats handled that with grace and
integrity and professionalism to make sure that we had a fair uh election process that was secure and seamless I believe unless there's concerns that were raised I'm not aware about um in terms of making it publicly noticed appropriately and also making sure that
from my understanding went off without a hitch. So congratulations and thank you for your service and getting it done without any big hiccups. So thank you. Okay. Administration DBW nothing.
OEM. Yes. Okay. Couple things. First of all, I just want to refresh the council region. Okay. That um when we submitted our budget, we named like five different um
objectives this year. The objectives were E OEM I mean EOC readiness. As you know this is hurricane season. So that becomes crucial. Okay. In case we have to uh activate our EOC um shelter agreements. We want to solidify our
shelter agreements again because remember our experience with the shelter. Okay. So, we want to definitely um uh solidify our shelter agreement, not only in terms of the school, but possibility in terms of a couple of churches. Uh reunification is ongoing.
For those of you that don't know what reunification is, is basically if we have a active shooter incident, then um we want to have plans in place to unify reunify the parents or guardians with the students. So, that's ongoing. Uh we
work closely with the police department. Um the other one was to increase uh certication. Um and that includes uh maybe coming up with a volunteer sheltering uh shelter
staffing uh component. Um and then again we always always it's an ongoing process in terms of trying to educate our residents in terms of readiness preparedness because they really need
they're part of the whole community um endeavor. Okay. So anyway behind that of course is the details and I want to give you one detail. Uh Chuck Lopez has stepped up to uh assist Bill Carson as the shirt
coordinator. Um Chuck brings with himself he's a uh certified emergency manager. He has a lot of skill sets and he's he's been working with with regards to that. In fact, Chuck did a presentation before the um Dell PTO. uh
he started out with the eight possible candidates or people that are interested in you know joining uh or at least going through the educational process of cert ended up with 38. So hopefully we'll hopefully we can translate that into a
class. Um also uh as you know sir of course represented were represented at the volunteer uh picnic and car show as well as we'll have a presence during the graduation helping out with the uh the
crossings. Um and um I think that's I think that oh yes with regards to the EOCC uh we have uh we have examined um a couple of um vendors
for relocating the antennas which are essential to our MRAC radio system. In fact, uh we were pleasantly surprised that uh what we thought was be a a cost of like $11,000 is really like $6,000. So, but that's
essential. Uh so, we're really anxious to we're really anxious to get into that uh space. I know you are. I know because it's I think it's very important and we hopefully keep our fingers crossed. Yeah. Yes. Keep our finger crossed that we uh we go
through this hurricane season without an event report to God's ears. So um uh Mr. Mosley question uh and I don't need any names of the churches. How has your progress been with some of the churches? Well um I think we want to revisit St.
John's uh because St. John's as you know he came to our rescue uh at guess I can't remember Ida IDA yeah they all mix together and also um I want to revisit that with um living living hope okay
okay so that we have a couple of uh options well whatever assistance you need from us just let us know okay okay thank you homer for what you do uh police department lieutenant anything no report okay what's going on rescue squad
visit us online.org and you're still and you're coordinating with Alex on the temporary move. Yes. Okay. Good. It's nice to see your numbers growing. Strong leadership there, my friend. Good
work. Keep it going. Okay. No other department heads. So, at this point, item number 11 on the agenda is public comments. We'll open the floor to the members of the public. We please that you ask that you step forward, state your name and address, and we're here to listen to your concerns or any other
commentary. Yes. Good evening to all. My name is William Palane. I live on Denellan Avenue. Um just uh have a ongoing safety concern. I just want to bring to the bureau's
attention. Uh me and collectively some neighbors in town on the street. Uh some very near close calls from the stop sign. People just running the stop sign. Uh, just want to know maybe if the town can allocate some funds to possibly put
a flashing stop signs on Lincoln and Denellan Avenue. Uh, okay. Lincoln and Denellan. Yeah. Um, we would want to work with the police department to see what their recommendations are um and then go from
there, but I don't see any issue with uh exploring that option. Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate that. Of course. Appreciate that. That's about it. about it. But it's it's been ongoing. It just seems to get getting a lot worse. I understand. I can I can tell you we're in the process of a study, right? I'm sorry, man. Once
uh in a study right now, um that making Danella an entirely 25 mile per hour community, so there's no question of what street is what. It's all 25 mile hour. Um we were discussing about possibly rumble strips along Denellan Avenue because we know it's a through street into Planefield and I know
there's a speed issue there. Um, so we are creatively trying to think of solutions. Um, if you're ever interested, we got the mayor's traffic and pedestrian safety task force if you want to volunteer for. Always looking for input. Appreciate that. So, uh, but, uh, we'll work with the police
department. We'll get their input and, you know, we do have a few maybe even if it's they just start getting circulated and maybe they're there for two weeks and then another spot two weeks because we only have a we have only so many and so many so much discretionary spending. But we'll look into it for you. Okay.
Thanks. So, could you just do me a favor? Provide Mr. Miller your contact information so we can follow up with you. And I apologize. Okay. I mean, Lieutenant could probably speak. It's uh
Yeah. So, we'll certainly look at that intersection. Um, I don't know if we can have flashing lights at every single intersection, but um, there's definitely crash data we can look into that would support why they're key intersections might be the ones we would identify. So,
we can we'll look into it. Okay. Nice meeting you. I don't know if I met you before, but nice meeting you this evening. Uh, any other members of the public? Please state your name and address. where the new apartments are because it's very difficult to get out of Pelosi
Street. They're apartment on both sides. Will they be redoing the curbs? They Yeah, they put in new curbs when they put in the apartments there right on the bay. 80. Oh, okay. So, no parking type of situation. Okay. The curbs used to be
yellow before they started building and now there's no yellow paint on it, so they park there. Well, we would have to go back and see what the approvals were with the NJ DOT because it is a state highway and whether they approved it where it would be parking now. So, we would have to go back and
yeah, that one would definitely have to have yellow. So, we'll look into what that what the site plan was approved for and what statutory requirements would be in that area and then we'll work towards getting it striped appropriately. Okay. Thank you.
