Good. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to our November 3rd council meeting. Our first order of business is call to order and rise for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Next item on the agenda is the reading of our sunshine statement and roll call by Mrs. Lauren Stat or municipal clerk.
This meeting of the Denellan Burough Council is called pursuant to the provisions of the open public meetings law. This meeting of November 3rd, 2025 was included in a list of meetings that was advertised in the courier on January 9th, 2025 and as a teleconference was
noticed on the official Denellan website on October 31st, 2025 on the public bulletin board on North Avenue on October 31st, 2025 and has remained continuously posted as the required notice. >> Mayor Sento,
>> present. Council President Sigment >> here, >> Mrs. Albertson >> here, >> Mrs. Lance >> here, >> Mrs. Rios >> here, >> Mr. Scott >> here, >> and Mrs. Vandermark >> here. >> And I would like to welcome our newest
council person, Councilwoman Elizabeth Vandermark, who is joining us here for her first in-person meeting. And uh, as we honor your late husband, Councilman Pal Vanmar, we thank you for stepping into the role. We wish you all the best
and God bless you and your family. So, thank you for stepping up to the plate. Next on the agenda is item number three, proclamations. We have three this evening. Um, first one up is recognizing November as National Diabetes Awareness Month. And I believe Councilwoman Lance
will be reading that proclamation. >> It will. >> Okay. National Whereas National Diabetes Awareness Month is observed annually throughout the month of November to raise awareness about the prevalence,
risks, and management of diabetes. And whereas diabetes affects 38.4 million people, 11.6% of the population in the United States and is a serious disease for which there is no known cure and is
the eighth leading cause of death by disease in the United States. And whereas one in five people do not know they have the disease. And whereas both people with diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes may experience adverse outcomes including heart problems, kidney
disease, severe nerve pain, neuropathy, and blindness. And whereas approximately 98 million American adults have pre-diabetes, a condition which puts them at a greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. And if current trends
continue, one in three American adults will have diabetes by 2050. And whereas type 1 diabetes, T1D, is an autoim autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system destroys the insulin
producing cells in the pancreas, leaving individuals unable to produce insulin, a hormone essential for converting food into energy. Its exact cause remains unclear with no currently known way to prevent or cure T1D. And those affected
must monitor their blood sugar and administer insulin daily to survive. And whereas diabetes has many faces affecting everyone young and old alike, Caucasians, African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian-Americans, and
Pacific Islanders, with many undeserved populations, underserved populations in the United States having an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. And whereas an increase in community
awareness of risk factors and symptoms related to diabetes can improve the likelihood that people with diabetes will get the care they need before suffering the devastating complications of the disease. Now therefore be it proclaimed that Jason Falento, Mayor of
the Burrow of Denellan, do hereby proclaim the month of November 2025 to be diabetes awareness month in the burrow of Denellan and encourage all residents to learn about the signs and risk factors of diabetes. Support awareness efforts and take proactive
steps towards early detection. >> Okay. Thank you, Councilwoman. Uh, next up is an acknowledgement recognizing November as Native American Heritage Month. And Council President Sigman has offered to read that acknowledgement recognizing November as
Native American Heritage Month. The land upon which the burrow of Denellan stands is part of the traditional territory of the Lenny Lape called Lenapoking. The Lenny Lape people lived in harmony with one another upon this territory for thousands of years. During the colonial
era and early federal period, many were removed west and north, but some also remain among the three continuing historical tribal communities of the region. The Nantoke Lenny Lape tribal nation, the Ramapo Lape Nation, and the
Poeton Lape Nation. We acknowledge the Lenny Lape as the original people of the land in this region and we acknowledge their continuing relationship with this territory. In our acknowledgement of the continued presence of Lape people in
this region, we affirm the aspiration of the great Lape Chief Tominand that there may be harmony between the indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land. as long as the rivers and creeks flow and the
sun, moon, and stars shine. >> Okay. Thank you, Council President. Next up is a proclamation uh honoring the quick actions and response of Vinnie Demura during a fire on September 24th, 2025. And we have Vinnie and his family
here. So, Vinnie, if you'd like to come on up, we have a proclamation for you. the joint chief. So it's a little disorder. So the hotel Okay.
A proclamation honoring the quick actions in response of Vinnie Deura during the fire on September 24th, 2025. Whereas on the evening of September 24th, 2025, the Denellan Fire Department was dispatched to the 300 block of First
Street for a reported structure fire at approximately 7:20 p.m. And whereas it was reported that the rear porch inside of the house were actively burning, presenting a serious risk of the fire spreading further. And whereas Vinnie
Demiro, a vigilant resident of Lincoln Avenue, immediately noticed the fire, called 911 to report the incident and took swift action by using his garden hose to suppress the flame till the fire department arrived. And whereas, thanks to his quick thinking and decisive
action, Mr. Deura was able to prevent what could have been a significant fire loss to property and a potential danger to residents and first responders. And whereas Mr. Demura showed remarkable courage and selflessness to aid a neighbor in need. Therefore, be it
resolved that I, Mayor Jason Fileento, along with the Denell Burough Council and the entire burrow of Denell, recognize and extend our deepest gratitude to Vinnie Deira for his bravery and swift action in preventing a serious fire incident dated this 3rd of November, 2025 underneath my signature.

thereof in accordance with chapter 217 property maintenance of the code of the burough of Denellan. >> Move it Rios >> second. Scott Mr. Robertson would you like to explain this briefly to the public? >> Yes. This is a property uh where there
was a property code maintenance violation. It was noted for many many months. The property may or may be in foreclosure. I believe uh the uh the bird reached out to the owner notified trustee that was
handling the property and uh no action was taken. Uh the council previously authorized the public works department to do the work to bring it into compliance by cutting the grass and doing other maintenance work. Uh the
bureau followed all of the procedures in the property maintenance code uh issued the notices as required retained uh obtained authorization from the council to do the work. The work has now been completed. Uh the cost is $650.
uh this uh this resolution uh certifies the cost, notifies the tax collector to uh place this as a lean against the property. So if and when the property is sold or the tax is paid, that money will be repaid to the burough.
>> Thank you. And so, just so everyone's aware, council, remember we were not here at the time and we amended our property maintenance ordinance to be stronger as well as implementing a vacant properties ordinance and this is part of those efforts to help maintain our neighborhoods. Um, as someone once
said where they think this is an HOA, yes, I think that is one large HOA and you pay taxes into it. So, you deserve your neighbors property values to be maintained just like yours. So, this is our efforts. So you're aware there's a legal process for do this to do this. It's in 217 of our property maintenance
of our code book. Anybody can pull that out at the clerk's office and this is just part of the process of making our neighborhoods clean and safe and we're following the law. So there we go. Thank you, Mr. Robertson. Council, any questions or discussion?
Okay. Roll call, please. >> Mrs. Albertson, >> yes. >> Mrs. Lance, >> yes. >> Mrs. Rios, >> yes. >> Mr. Scott. >> Yes. >> Mr. Sigman. >> Yes. >> And Mrs. Vanderv. >> Okay. Item number um six on the agenda

>> Okay. Thank you, Councilwoman Lance. >> Yes. for recreation. As the fall soccer season draws to a close, the recreation department wishes to extend its gratitude to all the volunteer coaches. Their dedication is essential for the success and growth of the soccer
program. This season, they welcomed over 150 players and had 24 volunteer coaches with many coaching multiple teams across different age groups. Recreation youth basketball registration will open this week. The basketball season is set to
start on Saturday, January 3rd, with practices scheduled for Saturdays. We invite children in grades K through six to participate. Volunteer coaches are still needed, so if you're interested in joining as a volunteer coach, please contact recreation director Kelly at

Tuesday, November 11th. As always, the recreation department proudly supports the Denell and American Legion and VFW Post for the Veterans Day ceremony on Tuesday, November 11th at 11:00 a.m. at Washington Memorial Park. And we encourage everyone to come out and honor
our remarkable veterans. That's all. God bless you and thank you, Councilwoman. Council President Sigman, >> no report today, Mayor. >> Thank you, sir. Oh, no encouraging volunteering like you normally do. >> Well, I mean, I could go on for hours,
but I won't. Uh, but I do want to say thank you to the uh Wreck volunteers, also the volunteers that uh and staff that put together Founders Day. Uh, that was uh pretty wild this year and fun. Uh, so that's it.
See, it was great. >> Excellent. Okay. >> So, yes, that is all. Thank you, Councilman Scott. >> For the DPW, they routinely clean the downtown area and all the parks and properties, weekly lawn and landscape maintenance for parks and properties,
which include leaf cleanup. They walk the streams to ensure there's no blockages. also checked the head walls before and after the last storm. They cleared the catch basin lids throughout the burrow before and after the past storm. They continued uh leaf bag collection and a reminder curbside pickup will continue through the end of
the year. Patchwork at various locations throughout the burrow and two members assisted PSEG with a tree that fell on Fourth Street and they service the police DPW fleets as they came due for maintenance and breakdowns. That's my report. >> Okay, thank you. Um, uh, street lights, decorative lights
have been, uh, completed on North Avenue and PSEG estimates that the remaining decorative lights to be installed on North Washington Avenue will be completed by December. So, that'll be a nice addition hopefully right before the Christmas tree light. That would be nice because it goes right by Washington Memorial Park. Um, uh, I noted that
there was a conversation on Facebook this week, uh, regarding, uh, lights in town. And I'll remind everybody, while Facebook's a wonderful way to communicate with your neighbor, um it's not the way to conduct official burrow
business. Coming to council meetings or writing to your mayor or your local legislators or coming to Burough Hall and speaking to the administrator or the clerk is the direct and best way. Either way, um I just do want to make a note that uh we have actually been working on
what with the concern was. Um, so we're not sitting idly by on our hands. Uh, so just so you have an update of where we're at currently and where we're going, PSCG has just replaced over 40 lights that the Department of Public Works reported as being out throughout
the burrow and at the train station. The bureau continues to work with PSCG to replace older soft lights with new LED lights that offer clearer, brighter lighting, longerlasting bulbs, and improved energy efficiency.
Um, Alex Miller, our business administrator, has been having ongoing conversations with PSENG about the possibility of adding more street lights. Um, PSENG has advised that after the LED lights have been installed, we'll have a clearer picture of where
additional lighting may be needed because the LED lights are brighter and they uh actually light up a larger radius. So there might be areas that we might not necessarily need to add lights where before we might have because they
were the softer older looking lights. So we're taking this in steps. Um just for those who are listening in or in attendance that have made those comments on Facebook, if you can remind those on Facebook where we're at and what's been going on, it'd be much appreciated. Thank you. Okay. Veterans Day ceremony.
Uh Councilwoman Lance already noted it, but uh please join us on Tuesday, November 11th. It's a great way to remember and honor our veterans. Um they deserve it uh for their courage and sacrifice and uh their unwavering
commitment to our nation. And actually, Mr. Miller, I have an idea for you um that I'll talk to you talk to you outside of council chambers to see if it's something we can do next year. I was at a a party this weekend up
in North Jersey and a town, Rockaway Township. So you can look into it. Actually, I'll just say it. They have veterans that who live in town and through their boy scouts and American Legions and VFWs, they coordinate efforts and the American flag their entire wall around the perimeter. Kind
of like what you do with the Christmas lights around the bat sandbags. They showed me pictures I actually thought was a very nice idea, something to consider. Now, I know the the Veterans of Foreign Wars American Legion with Boy Scouts goes to the graveyards on Memorial Day, but this might be a nice
way during Veterans Day to just continue our patri patriotism and our miracle mile because we're very proud to be American here. Okay, so just a thought. uh Founders Day. Just I want to say thank you to everyone who came out to our second annual Founders Day festival and the
76th annual Halloween uh parade on Sunday, October 26th as we celebrate our our burrow's 138th birthday. She's a young one. Um it was a great way to it was a great day filled with Harvest Fest vendors as well as well. So, thank you to the Danella Downtown Management
Organization for pivoting from the weekend before and helping us get vendors into Founders Day and making it a joint effort. It was interesting and lively to see the wrestling presented by ISPW Pro Wrestling. Um I have a few um
uh constructive criticism in the sense of we're not a stupid town. I maybe that's vocabulary they can take out of their act next year. But anyway, uh Stilt Walker is a balloon artist, a bounce house, and a variety of foods and snacks. Attend attendees also got to look at the burrow's history with
displays featuring photos of our miracle mile throughout the years. Um, the pitch for tomorrow, it's election day, November 4th, it's our general election, and the polls will be open in Denell from 6:00 am to 8:00 PM. Uh, voting for residents in districts 1 and two is at
the Denell Senior Center. That's at 216 Orange Street. Voting for residents in districts 3 and 6 are at the George W. Hajuk Firehouse. That's at 231 South Washington South Madison Avenue. And votings for residents in districts four and five is at the Denell Public
Library, 100 New Market Road. If you're unsure where your voting district is, you can visit the denellon-nj.gov/election map. It should also be on your sample ballot as well. Um, for those who are voting by mail, if you requested your ballot, you can return your ballot to
the secure mail and uh, ballot box located at the Denon Public Library at 100 New Market Road up until 8:00 p.m. Ballots may also be dropped off directly at the Middle Sex County Board of Elections Office located at 26B Kennedy Boulevard, East Brunswick until 8:00
p.m. or at least postmarked by tomorrow, I believe it is. Um, so be sure to cast your vote so your voice can be heard and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same. Don't forget to thank a poll worker because they ensure we have safe and secure elections. And with Veterans Day next
week, just remember it's important to vote. People died for your right to vote. If you don't like who's on the ballot, just write somebody and just still vote. Okay. Um, and then whatever the outcome is, always remember we're still all
Americans and we're still all neighbors and we should respect one another. So that's my ending uh piece on that one. Okie do. Item number seven on the agenda is council discussion. We don't have any this evening. Item number sorry that's
seven. Number eight on the agenda is department head reports. >> It report >> you're still it. Good job. >> Legal. >> Uh, no report. Okay. clerk registar >> she wants to get home so she can wake up at 4 am and handle the elections tomorrow so
>> administrator DPW none finance bills are still paid >> great police >> okay chaplain anything back there and uh
this firehouse came back and we're ready to >> Amen. Thank you, sir. Rescue squad, >> really quickly, uh, a lot of events in October. We staff all of them. We have a member on our organization
of our town plus uh spring. So message to all it's not to volunteer for uh the usher.org All volunteers are welcome. Agencies are welcome. So, thank
>> Okay. Thank you for your service. Um, uh, before we get to public comments, I meant to mention in my report, uh, we're going to be issuing within the next several weeks, probably, uh, before Thanksgiving, the form for the annual uh, nomination for volunteer of the year
as well as lifetime achievements. So, keep a lookout on that and then we'll make a decision in december before uh before uh we because we need to get plaques and stuff and proclamations and everything prepared. So, uh just keep a lookout uh come out
from Billy's office. Okay. And then also it's that time of year again. Um look for uh Brianna's email where I we're requesting a meeting for the 2020 six can't believe we're there almost uh council committee assignments that I'll
appoint on the 1st of January. So keep an eye out for that as well and start thinking about some of committees you would appreciate to be on what you don't want to be a part of anymore. >> Okay. And uh as always there's going to be some shifts. I do that every year. so
everybody gets experience on different committees. Um, okay. Item number nine on the agenda is public comments. We'll open it up to the public. We ask that you please state your name and your residency and we're here to listen to your concerns or compliments. Those are
nice to 805. North, right? >> Yes. On the corner of Sanford and Bound Brook Road. >> You got it. >> Um, we're aware that it's been purchased and the individual who has purchased it has not come forward with a finalized
concept of anything yet. So, um, good news. It's been purchased. I think their goal is to do something with the property and not just sit on it. It's just a matter of what they're going to propose. Okay. So, just always keep in mind that whatever it is zoned for,
they're allowed to put there. And so, we'll see what they propose to put there. Okay. Any other comments? Yes. >> Also, business concerns almost
everything is very dangerous. Headlines coming and there's some concerned up on they don't even >> Yeah. >> So, I don't know what we stop this.
>> Um I think ultimately it's going to take the state to get involved. Um I know our legislative representatives Nancy Munos and Michelle Matakudis are looking to put forward legislation. I know Senate uh President Senate leaders NickQatara I think is looking to
put something forward. Um, basically they're going to have to regulate it better because I know it's a real nuisance. Um, I don't know what can be done currently on sidewalks. Um, I know they belong in the roads. Um, so that's a police matter that we can speak with them about and and how that could be
better enforced. I can tell you in our parks they're not allowed at all. Not at all. And we're getting uh better signage that indicates they're not allowed. Um, I actually say we should just get a billboard personally just so we, you know, really blast it. But, you know, I
don't want to be kicked out of office out of that way. But, we're going to wind up putting signs all over the place in our parks that are clearly defined that they don't belong there because >> well, yes. Um, but we, you know, so we'll work with the police on what is in the statutes for sidewalks, but in our
parks, I can tell you we're going to put better signage that clearly indicates what is allowed and what's not. Um, so we we went through our science and what needs to be updated in the park based upon the ordinances we have on book and we're doing a administrative we did a review parks and facilities did a review
and now it's in the police department to do a review and once it comes out of that it'll be presented to mayor and council and we'll move forward. >> Is it >> if it's a nuisance look if it's a nuisance call the cops and the cops will use the discretions based upon state statute and what's in our ordinance
book. Yep. So, the easiest number to remember is 911 if it levels up to an emergency. If it don't if you don't believe it levels up to an emergency, but the police need to be notified. 732-9683000 extension 0. Okay. The best thing you
can do is if ever you have a concern, see something, say something, and call the cops. They'll use their discretion. They're trained professionals. They'll know what to do when they get on site. >> Okay. >> Yep. Anybody else in the public? Please state your name and residency and we're here to listen to your question, your
concerns. Yes. >> Oh, right over there. Sorry, you already went, Mr. Morgan. >> Thank you. >> Can we So, sorry, I should have noted we do have a microphone up front. So, until we get the drop mics,
so you got to speak loud. Um, we are new homeowners and I just want to thank you guys for sending I'm not from my whole life. So, I thought it was very charming to get the newsletter talking about what the Miracle Mile is and I really enjoyed learning about your
little town. So, I'm I'm new here, but I just want to say it's so nice. I'm happy to be here and I love you guys. Me, too. >> Yeah. I really thought to know all help us. >> Well, here's the deal. I think it's the people that make this a great town. So,
bravo to you folks. And it's it's not our town like it's your town now, too. So, as as the play our town there, >> you're welcome. And and welcome.
>> You married into a good family. >> Okay. Any Oh, Mr. Morgan. Yes. So, let me tell you what happens with a lot of the projects that happen and and you can find all our redevelopment projects on dellon-j.gov backredevelopment. You can look through
all the financial agreements, redevelopment agreements, the concept plans, every little bit and piece you can. We're very transparent with that. We don't hide anything on it. Okay. Um uh so basically that is a property that was approved. It's 405 to 415 North
Avenue. What happens is is they get to a certain point and then because we're on a state highway the NJ dot gets involved and or the D but in this case for them it's the NJ DOT and it's for like ingress egress onto the
property and so they have to review the plans and everything. So uh they're being reviewed by the NJ DOT. Am I correct on that one? So, they're not held up on any believe me, they invested the money up until this point. They want to be building and believe me, we rather see a building than an empty lot and we
rather be getting the ratable on that as well, too. Um, but the state, as much as they're pushing for us to be building, they also know how to block it as well. So, yeah, you know, always remember that when you go and vote.
Any other questions from the public? Anybody online that want to ask questions? Okay. So, there's no further business and we have one last resolution that's 379. But before I ask this motion in second, our next council meeting is November 17th, uh, 2025, of course, at 7
p.m. You can join us in person here or virtually. And, uh, so can I have a motion and second on three, uh, 379? >> Move it, Sigman. Second, Scott. All in favor? I. Any nays? Okay, everyone.
