wanted to say a few words and we'll do something down here as well. >> Yes. I listen I'd like to congratulate you. I know it's a lot of hard work. >> Can't hear you. >> Turn the mic up. I'd like to congratulate you. I know it's a lot of hard work and it's taken many many years for you to get to this
kind of level. Um, and that does speak a lot about dedication and and I, you know, I really have to, uh, thank your parents for being supportive because I know that when this journey starts, um, you know, they were probably an intricral part of
furrying back and forth and up and down and all over the place. Um, but it's good to see and and see this in the town. And yes, my council colleague actually wasn't so bad at wrestling. I'll I'll even give him that. It would have been nice if he would have wrestled
for uh JP or something like his brother, but he went to Edison High, too. [laughter] But congratulations and uh all the success over um at college. Thank you. >> Any other council comments? >> I'd just like to say congratulations. I
know that it's a no easy task and congratulations in your future. >> Any other counc comments? Yeah, just a big congratulations. Again, I I don't want to repeat everything everybody said, but you know, I it's tough. Being
a wrestler is tough. Um I didn't make it as a wrestler, but um congratulations and uh good luck at college as well. >> Thank you. >> I think as a council president, this is one of the first times we've had a chance to recognize any wrestler. Is
that right? Any wrestler in the in the 11 years I've been on here. Marlene, Madam Clerk, probably one of the first times. Um, I'm sorry it's been that long. Uh, there's been a few people who's also done some great things. I'm truly thankful being a wrestler, being a
part of a team. It meant so much to me. I think I decided to be involved in my senior year after skipping two years and it was a great opportunity to be out there, not just to wrestle with a group of teammates, but also um endure the endurance of being out there for six straight minutes, you You know, and if
anybody has anything to say, we know like you can come from the football team all you want, but when you enter the wrestling mat, most of those guys were throwing up and uh and to achieve what you achieved, Fernando, is like unbelievable to to get that far. Many of
us in the audience, we went so far, but not that far. I mean, so many should, would uh that doesn't mean anything. Um, what means is you got there and you completed this and it's a tremendous honor to your coaches, your family, everybody who watches and you're an
inspiration to others for your life. You'll be protecting people although most people don't know what talent you have which is good you know but uh it's it's it's really truly wonderful. Um I think one of my colleagues said he'd take me outside one day and I it's not
the guy to my right but I but I said to myself, is he kidding me? But he was messed he was he was upset for just 30 seconds. I knew he was kidding. But uh I'm truly proud to see this happen. And I know it takes decades of time. I'm proud of our middle schools that are
involved now. This breeding program, feeding program for each to get you to high school where you know something on the mat. And and we've dealt with some people knowing nothing day one. And so I want to thank the coaches for the patience to do this because I don't know if I could start from ground zero with a
with a high school person. That's a lot when so many others have been at camps and have so much more competitive opportunity than you. But uh obviously this has come together. It's a it's a truly a great moment to see this happen. So we're going to come up uh I'm going to invite the council to hand this
resolution to you uh with the coaches and we'll have you say a few words if you choose to. going up. It's only four of us. >> They're taking your own culture. [clears throat] >> You forgot. >> That's what I said to him.
>> I said you have to Whatever. [snorts] >> No, no, I'll just do a roll call to >> just do an two. One, two. Great. Again, we're here
today uh honoring uh Fernando and his great wrestling abilities and what he's accomplished. Do you want to say a few words, Fernando, about your teammate, your coach who's wonderful? >> Yeah, we don't think >> I know you do. You We don't give you a choice here, just so you know. And we
have a back room and there's nine of us. >> I'd just like to say uh thank you to my coaches, uh my coach behind me and my brother over here and my family for doing everything everything they can to support me and to all my supporting cast and all my friends and family and
everyone. >> Just like to say thank you >> on a majority of the body that's there. Congratulations. >> Right. >> Congratulations. Anybody else from the family? Mother say something to their brother. >> Anybody? >> Dad wants to go ahead. >> So, I remember when he was born and he
was born here at JFK Edison Hospital and uh we weren't planning long term to be here, but this is a great town to be in. And he's born and raised Edison, wrestled in middle school, played baseball for Edison Wreck, wrestled for
Edison Wreck wrestling. So, he's been doing this and he doesn't want he wants to be shy and he's been doing this for like 15 12 to 15 years consistently and no complaints, loving life, you know, smiling all the way. They used to call
him smiley. Now, you know, it's just Nando, but it was Smiley before cuz he would wrestle and it'd be a full, you know, um, full ear to ear smile. And it shows that if you nurture and you just let them have fun, kids will grow to be
successful. That's what I want to say. >> Thank you very much. Good to hear. Coach, you want to add a few words? >> Just that he had an opportunity to wrestle at a lot of different schools in this day and age of uh private schools and he stayed at Edison and uh second
alltime win leader of all time. So, thanks for staying and congratulations You want to get on there now. Congratulations. Congratulations. >> Tell you never know. Born and raised in Edison. Kellyy's born and raised in me.

sure. Uh congratulations again to your coaches and uh you know, a shout out to Scott Gerb and Jason Scott who is the coach of Edison High who has just dedicated his life to this and without having good coaches in your life. I'm sure Jeremy, you know, it just won't
happen having someone to push you and drive you further than you can. And I'm I'm proud to know Scott and to know how dedicated he is about the job and how much time it is. And he's just uh so so so dedicated and so is his family to help him out. Uh I could never do that.

>> Okay. they want to. >> Well, first I just want to thank you uh Jeremy again. Uh and if you'd like to say a few words. >> Uh >> sound like putting you on the spot, right? >> No. Uh I'd like to thank my family, my especially my dad and my mom, because
they were the one that pushed me and made me who I am today. And I'd like to thank my dad cuz he's the one that started me off on wrestling. He just asked me one day if I wanted to wrestle and I said yeah. and he's been pushed me throughout my whole career and every time I said I wanted to quit, he told me
I have to give him a good reason to quit. I never was able to. So he he was the one that kept pushing me, kept bringing me to different clubs, different competitions, different camps, and spending all that money, driving me
everywhere, and I just thank him a lot. >> Is it working? Thank you. Did Jason, do you want to come? Sure. Sure you we can put you in the lineup. >> Thank you. >> No problem. >> I just wanted to say it was an honor seeing the career of both Jeremy and
Nando the last four years and it's so important to build traditions in Edison. We council president Coyle I actually saw him wrestle in high school. I said oh my god look at this guy. like he was
>> council president could really mix it up back in the day but we had Joe Doohig later who was a a state champion come in and we're hoping one day that these guys are former wrestlers I I expect it they're going to come around they're going to contribute and have words of
wisdom and that's how you really build a successful program is having your former guys come back and it it was great when Joe came around this year talked to the team a little bit and understood what it took a little bit to get a 100 pins and have accomplishments like that. So, just
um it was great having these guys and I look forward to seeing them for years to come. >> Great. Thank you. Thank you, Jason. Appreciate it. Uh coach, you where'd you go? Oh, there he is. >> Thus ends the uh career of two of the most prolific wrestlers in the history
of Edison High School. Fernando Avalon, Jeremy Negro. Congratulations. [applause] I I think about your father asking you to wrestle and how that changed so many other people's life that got pinned. [laughter] It's just it's amazing. And
thank you for asking. I that doesn't always work out that way. And uh don't forget the both of you, Fernando, you and Jeremy, your leadership to the next people. The students are looking up to you. How you treat them is how they'll treat others. Don't forget where you came from. And thank you for sticking
out with Edison High. The coach mentioned so many opportunities they get to go to another private school and they are coming to steal our team and and and you stuck it out. Thank you for caring about your team. That just it's emotionally so great to want to stick it
out when you offered to go to St. Joe's or Bishop R. And uh they're not better schools than our public schools. I can tell you that. Again, congratulations. Kelly, you want to hold this again? We'll just do a quick photo up. Okay. Dad's here. Jason, can you straighten
everybody out? >> How's my time? >> You keep this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We don't have a fancy That wasn't that good. Okay, we're going to get back to our meeting for a second. I just got to set the record straight. I was a decent wrestler, but there were plenty of thin
guys that threw me all over the place that didn't look like they knew much at all and I went home scarred, burns on my face, but uh but there plenty of great accomplished wrestlers in high school. Certainly happy to be above average. But any case, moving to the uh meeting. Uh
for those who are here now, uh we have uh some important business on our schedule. We're going to go into a close session. We're going to hope it will be for 15 minutes. Uh for those who are here, you're more than welcome to stay. I don't recommend it, but if you have nothing to do, uh I it's up to you, but
you're more than welcome to stay. We're not throwing anybody out. I think Scott is buying pizza right now on him or Jason. But anyway, thank you for your time. For the public who's watching at this moment, we're going to go into a closed session. What that means is more than four council members can sit in the back and speak to our attorney about um
business that uh needs to be private to to discuss further with the public and so we can better understand it as well. Okay, madam clerk, >> a motion to go close motion to go into public go to close session. >> Motion have a second.
>> Second. >> All in favor say I. I. Okay, we're good. >> We're good. >> I don't need this anymore. >> One, two, one, two, one, two. [clears throat]
>> Motion to reconvene. >> We are having a motion to reconvene. Can I have a motion to reconvene this meeting after >> motion to reconvene? >> Second. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> Okay. This morning, this meeting is reconvened at 7:06. Uh we're going to move through this
agenda. I'm going to revert back to um council president remarks. Okay. Some of us uh are aware of the 12% increase of our board of education. I just want to make a comment. If any council members wanted to say something briefly, please rebrief
us so we can go back to our meeting. Uh, like so many other [clears throat] people, I am very concerned over the proposed 12% increase in the budget by the Edison Board of Education. Although, as council president, I have no operational oversight or statutory
authority over the schoolboard budget. As a resident and a taxpayer, I am very concerned about this double-digit increase. What can I do though as be have [clears throat] being here have been here is working through our state legislature as well as our legislators
throughout the state and strongly advocate for increase in funding for our school district budget as the state goes through its budget and process. I will continue to advocate with the school district and teachers and parents and students. Um no one is happy about this
12% increase. Uh, I truly hope that this board sits down to crunch numbers to propose a much lower increase. And at this time, I leave my comment at that and I'll refer to any colleagues that would like to say
something. >> Council President, I don't know. I I was going to go to the um the school board meeting myself um to ask the superintendent questions because I don't know if everybody knows here but for 20 years or
25 years Edison was shortch changed by the state. Um when I was on the school board I actually went through the funding formula and we found that there were discrepancies where the state wasn't funding townships equally. So we all had our own we all had our own
funding formula and the funding formula was fair and equal to everybody but what they did was they gave NORC 110% Edison got 20% of our funding formula so it wasn't done fairly and I haven't heard from anybody whether the state has went
back to their old ways where Edison might be receiving 20% of their funding and Woodbridge is getting 30% of their funding and NORC is getting 100% of their funding. the funding formula is fair. I I will tell you that I' i've went through that with the state and it is a fair formula. Um but it it's how
the state pays it out. So I I do plan on going there and seeing if they have that information um and see if they have Edison East Brunswick Warbridge Perth Amboy. >> Thank you. Council me council me and Brer. Any other council members hearing? None. We're just going to move
forward with the meeting. I have the um proposed ordinance uh 22792026. Any comments? [snorts] >> I I have a quick question. Yes. >> So, we don't have to we're going to fund
for 2025 in the resolution. >> We don't have to All I want to make sure is >> we don't have to repeal the old or ordinance. So, how can I put this? Legally, do we have to pay the pay the organizations that
don't exist in the ordinance if we don't repeal the ordinance? >> No. >> Okay. There's an ordinance current there's an ordinance currently on the books that lists all these sports organizations. Obviously, we know some of them are defunct. I just don't want to pass a resolution that gives them
defunct organizations money. That's not going to happen, right? >> No. That that actually quite the opposite. >> Yeah. No, those those organizations one haven't applied for anything. Thank god they don't exist anymore. So that's always positive. Um >> you don't have to repeal that ordinance that's in place. >> No. And this and by the way, this
proposal is not a repeal of the ordinance. It's a modification of the ordinance that's currently on the books and it does exactly one. It cleans up the it takes away the list of organizations. Uh which makes sense when you consider that these organizations will probably go through name changes and will kind of come in and out of
existence. Uh but the resolution today that's going to pay them under the pro under the ordinance as it currently is and then this ordinance would propose changes that would take into effect for the next cycle. >> Okay. Ju right when we propose when we approve if we approve the resolution today
>> Mhm. >> that $224,000 is distributed but we're under no obligation to give that to legally give that to somebody that doesn't exist. >> Exactly. >> Okay. Yes. >> All right. I just don't want the money going to ghost town. >> Yes. >> Okay. Fair enough. That's all I had.
>> And just as a matter of process, they request it and they confirm uh through their roster and that's how we add them to the list and then send the resolution for your approval. >> Yeah. The the new procedure. I was just making sure we didn't have to pay the
last uh three years. >> Okay. >> At least. Yeah. >> Perfect. [clears throat] Council President. >> Yes. Council pressure. >> Yes. I um I I know this for the youth sports and I'm really big on supporting our youth
but I do have certain issues. Um, we have a funding formula in place for the youth sports, >> right? >> Correct. Well, >> see, let me tell you the problem I have. The way this is written, this just says
that technically the administration um can give money to youth organizations as long as there's funds available, right? And my problem with that is it shouldn't be up to just strictly the
administration to say, you know, I love um base football, right? [clears throat] So, we're going to give football $17 million stadium and you know, the wrestling kids got some t-shirts, right? It should be like there should be a
formula in place like I know we had one and that formula should be part of this documentation. So, so that's number one that I think is missing here. >> I think we council president I think we'd still have to pass it even if the administration had discretion. We'd
still have to pass it and approve that particular >> right. But but here's the thing the funding formula right shouldn't just be arbitrary and capriccious, right? It should be a formula that has certain criteria that we're paying to the
organizations so that it's done fairly. whether you hate football, right, or you love baseball or whatever it is, we know that that our children here will all be treated fairly and equally. And that's where I'm saying that that funding formula, what whatever it is, right? You
you were telling me you might want to modify it, and I don't have a problem modifying it, but that should be in here. Okay? So that every organization knows. Now, let me tell you what my other problem that I have with this, and it's another very big problem. [snorts] I noticed that we have things in here
where we say we want um 80% or 75% Edison residents, right? And that was a good thing to put in on certain organizations we had, but we didn't do that before. Um the way the funding
formula was set up was that if you had a um I'm I'm going to say like baseball, right? If you have baseball and baseball has 300 children and 100 children come from a touching the township inside that funding formula they they were only
paying per Edison residents that were part of their their crew. So they wouldn't give them Edison wouldn't be giving the money for the kids from a touchin. So like you have things like um we have hockey right there [clears throat] not a lot of people >> point of real quick. Council brusher, we
had a meeting recently and I was first I'm not extremely happy yet, but I'm going to introduce this, but the meeting we had with council vice president Kentos and what else he went okay went over uh and there was some embarrassment
of so many out of town people involved that we that this money could have been used in the past to fund out of town people and the mayor and administration and this council is looking at formulas now that only include Edison residents that he can
prom and you'll see that in the chat. >> Council President, I just want to correct you there because we made this. I made this or I didn't make it. Ken made it. Okay. And in Ken's thing, part of the thing that they were supposed to give you was their roster of Edison
residents. That's why the Angels didn't get the money that they were supposed to get because the Angels had like two kids from Edison and the other 28 kids were from another town. So that was taken care of inside that funding formula. But that formula is not here in this and
this is a giant mistake to pass this the way it is. This reminds me of we had something that came up and I was promised right and then it didn't happen. We had a promotional criteria I think it was uh
for police and fire [snorts] and there were certain things there was testing required you know I I don't know exactly what it was and what I was told was we had to repeal that and upon repealing it we were going to come up with a new criteria
>> well here I sit and at that time I believe Joyce ship Freriedman was sitting where Councilman Kentos is and that criteria still isn't there. [snorts] So, so there there's no like hire or or promotional criteria. Um I
think we got rid of the hiring criteria also. And I think that's wrong for morale purposes. So So we did this, right? I agreed to it. I was told that something was going to be put in its place. Here I am, whatever it is, four years later, 3 years later, whatever it is, and and we don't have it. So what
I'm saying is that funding formula should be part of this. And then the whole thing about the out of town people because now it says 75%. If if we have a ice hockey league, right, and everybody knows we don't have
enough students here or or children from Edison. So Edison might touch and do stuff together even at the high school level, right? They could never qualify for any funds because they won't be 75% Edison. will be, you know, 50% Edison and 50% Matuchen where Matuchen kids
should get their money from Matuchen and the Edison kids should be able to get their money from here in Edison. So, so that's that's another thing that I don't like about about this here. Um, it's really those two things. Um, other than that, you know, I mean, we cleaned up the wordage and stuff like that. I think
that's fine. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions from council members? Hearing none, uh, we have a motion. Oh, no. just kept doing work session here. Next, uh item seven, review of the council minutes from the work session meeting uh March 23rd, 2026 and the
regular meeting of March 23rd, 2026. Any questions or comments from each department? Um from the business administrator, letter A. Any questions or comments from the from the Department of Finance?

>> it'll be open to the public resolutions. So, they're going to when we get to the public portion, members from the public can speak. >> Okay. And when you vote on it, you can also have council comments. >> Okay, fair enough. Okay, any questions from A through F from the Department of Planning and Engineering?
Uh, number 12 from the Department of Public Works, letter A. Any questions or comments from the Department of Recreation, letter A. Any questions or comments? Department of Water and Sewer, A and B?

Have a motion to approve the minutes. >> Motion to approve. >> Got a pen here. one go. >> You just stole my pen. >> Okay. Can I have a second? >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> Okay. New business. Proposed ordinance
public meeting hearing set down for Wednesday, April uh 22nd, 2026. Clerk read ordinance. an ordinance amending section 5-5 sports organization funding of chapter 5 revenue and finance of the municipal
township code of medicine to modify that table. Uh a motion to introduce motion to introduce the ordinance 227926. We table it >> maybe. >> A motion to table.
>> Yeah, I I think if we table it, maybe we can get the the stuff on the funding formula or maybe, you know, talk about changing that. Otherwise, I'm going to vote no the way it stands now. And I I don't want to vote no, let's say. >> Mr. President, >> may I I just for clarifying and and so I
and I understand where you're coming from on the formula. Do you want the specific formula in or do you want something in the ordinance that says that there's a formula that's maybe adopted annually? because that that formula is probably going to need to adjust periodically and I didn't when I wrote it I didn't want to pigeon hole us into only one way of doing it. So the
formula should be should be standardized and should be the same and it should never be changed. And when I say never, right, every 10 years you want to change it, but at the end of the day, what happens with a formula, right? Um is you have a >> and you plug a number in and [snorts] then at the end you you get an answer.
Okay? So it's it you're not changing anything. The only thing that's changing are the sports leagues and how many children are coming and how many children are going. So let's say like football. Um as less and less people join football, football will get less money, right? And as more and more
people are joining soccer, soccer would get, you know, more money. Um and it's so so it's it's constantly changing every year. >> Yeah. Um, and the administration for their budget wise, it shouldn't be I I don't think we'll have a league that's
going to come in and say we have an extra 3,000 kids this year, you know, so that they go we have a budget problem um because of it. >> So, I just want to to correct for the record though, the the funding mechanism, the amount of the funding has
always been the same as long as I mean I've been here and prior to. So the funding amount didn't change to your point the mechanism which it's calculated as you know you worked on it 51% of residents uh needed to be accounted for in all of
these leagues. So there there [clears throat] was a number which was 51% in addition to uh maintenance of fields. So and we talked about that the issue with there is no issue with providing it with the formula. The issue though is that we still need to adopt an
ordinance to then establish to uh Aaron's point to if you want to reintroduce every year what that funding mechanism looks like um with it based on the 75 >> what I'm right what I'm saying is that funding mechanism that that fund a formula I'm going to call it a formula
because that's what it is you're just going to plug in their answers into it should be incorporated into this and and Aaron just so you know um if if we didn't elim eliminate the promotional criteria. If if I didn't hear from
people like in the town saying they're not happy with how we do our promotional thing, right? Um I would say okay, but I think I made a mistake by voting, you know, voting yes to get rid of the criteria >> under the presumption that we were going to do that and then it never happened.
>> Right? So as as a mechanism to make sure that this funding formula happens if we table this >> right the administration they have whatever they have two weeks to just put the formula in. >> No no and and I and I and I'm just trying to I'm asking clarifying questions so I know how to amend it so I can kind of better get where you're
you're >> and and the formula itself just so you know we had one um if the administration you know wants to change some of the numbers or something I I have no objection to that at all. I I'm just looking to have something concrete so it's not arbitrary and capriccious for
whatever money gets doled out. That's all. >> No, it's clarifying and I and I understand you and it's clarifying for everybody else too that they understand this is how we >> Well, that this is where I go, right? So, so all these leagues, believe it or not, they count on this funding, >> you know, whether we give it to them. Like right now, they're dying, right?
Because they thought they were going to get it whatever in November and here we are, right? So, we're approving that tonight. and and I mean I'm sure that's going to take a relief for them, but they were counting on that as part of their their budgets that they make. Um so it's kind of difficult. So if they
know how many kids they have, they know about what they're going to receive and then they know what they have to charge the parents on top of it. Um it just makes better management uh from the league's point of view. >> Just a point of order just to move forward. Can we have a meeting for Rich
to reook at this ordinance to between now and the next meeting so we can reintroduce it? >> Sure. >> Okay. >> Yeah. And it's on you. Just so you know, as long as you have a formula, I'm I'm more than willing to kind of go along with it. I'm I'm leaving that one up to you what the formula actually is. I just
want to see part of it so that there's something in concrete. That's all. >> Sure. It's pretty Let's just tell you and we'll schedule something. It's pretty straightforward. It involves maintenance of fields as well because you have some leagues that maintain the fields and some we maintain right and we have to take that into into
consideration. Um >> madam clerk we have a motion from Rich on the table to motion to table. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> Okay. Madam clerk roll call. >> Council member Brusher. Uh >> yes. >> Council member Dimma. >> Yes.
>> Council member Kentos. >> Yes. >> Council President Coyle. >> Yes. Okay. So, uh [clears throat] the 2279 20226 has been tabled and this is just an amendment to the sports
leagues. However, for those who are watching right now, the sports league funding is on the agenda today. So, um I'm confident that'll be approved paying you for the last term. Um so, that payments happening today. Um moving to
public comments on the resolutions only. I'm going to open up the public portion uh for the resolutions only. Those who are here for the first time or the public who's watching uh this part is for resolutions only. Uh the common is
public uh is speaking on please come up. >> I didn't see you back there too. Okay. Fantastic. >> I knew there was only two of us. Uh Elizabeth Conway 20 Netherwood Circle. >> Welcome. questioning uh the resolution 176-042026
where you're awarding payment to the nonprofit organizations in the amount of 224,97550. Um my question is is this awarded to them for the functions of the league
itself or will it also be deemed necessary to upgrade anything necessary uh for an organization? Uh the thing that I'm questioning is I drive past um
North Edison uh baseball and softball. Those numbers are grossly down from years past and I you're talking about the funding right now so I don't know how that will be affected but this past
weekend the front that actually faces uh Oak Tree Road and Maryland uh was filled with cars and it was grass and I know last year when I was there the blacktop was in complete disarray.
Okay. And I don't know whether that was fixi uh fixed yet, but I don't know who owns the property in the front now that's grass or was it handed over to the township? But if it is over to the township, will something be done about
that? Now, that's a big dollar figure to repair that property's black top and land. Um I'm presuming that's not in this 224,000. And as far as any other league, we're talking about funding of the actual
organization. Even though the numbers are down, the the organization has to function in order for the children that still want to participate. When my children played, there had to be over,200 stu uh boys and
girls playing. Now, last I heard, it's below 400. But it's still the property that needs to be maintained and the costs are even more expensive than they were back then. So,
how will we fund both the organization and keep the land upgraded to a proper status was my question and I'm done. >> Well, I'm going to wait till your time
is up. Do you have any other questions? No, I said that's my one question. >> Okay. Um, first, we're not going to comment. We're not going to make any comments on funding formula. Now, we just tabled that and that these resolutions and the questions you've had are not part of this public portion. But
the questions you do have as far as uh each sports group getting money, yes, that's happening today. That's based on the old formula. And if the organization was functioning at that time and they filled out the application process that was at that time required and met the
criteria of what that resolution and ordinance was prior to this, they're getting funding today and that's listed in this resolution today. Who's getting funding? Okay, so that's the only answer questions I can answer today for that. But in the public portion, we could discuss other questions you have which
is not part of how we improve fields. each organization functions on their own to do some of their maintenance of theirs, but that they they can discuss that later. >> Um, that's all I have. >> Council president. >> Council President. Oh, go ahead. >> Well, I just have a question and and I don't have the answer to this question,
but I think this is where Miss Conway is going. Um, so the organizations run themselves like you said. Um, we don't really have input into what they do, but we have like Shamrock Field, right? That was funded by the township. We built
that for whatever it was, 1.5 million or something like that. Um, the Shamrocks became defunct because children can't play football because of head injuries or whatever it is. That land now is the township's land, right? And and we're charged with maintaining it, I think.
Right. We I think we cut the lawn >> at this point >> if it's ours. Yeah. Yeah. >> Because I I think it's it's township property. So then it become revert would revert to us when they're no longer using it or they can't afford to maintain it and then we repurpose the
land like well we haven't repurposed Shamrock Field yet but I I think people are thinking about that. >> That's right. >> Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Sorry. I I just I just wanted to to remind everybody that this is a donation. Th this money that we give the organization
is a donation. Once it goes in their hands, they're free to do what they want with it. We have no control over what they do with it. Um it's one of the things I don't like about this formula that to me here, I'll just say it. This formula is a mess. I I don't like the
program at all. I I love I I'll I'll say yes to anything for for the youth, for sports, for kids, for education, but the um you know what's going to happen is once we put a solid formula in place, we're going to have a line out the door
of organizations popping up saying, "Hey, I have a hundred people who play look at all the people that play pickle ball now. Look at all the new new sports. We're going to have every different organization out the line." And then the 220 about the $220,000 that we give out each year is going to have
to go up for all the other organizations to survive. >> Yeah. And and I just Thank you. >> No, I just want I I know that's not one of the questions that was asked. That's I just point I just wanted to point that out to everybody that there's a lot more problems here than than what meets the eye.
>> And I believe the clerk is pulling some data for us. We're one of the few towns out of 534 municipalities across the state that make any donation to sports leagues. That means any donation. So it's it's it's something different
that's been done in the past. We continue as a council here. It's been under uh my vote for the last 11 years. So we'll see how the new fun formula will change and I think the council vice president will be happy when it comes together. But we'll there definitely be
some changes. Okay. moving forward. Uh we just that was the comments on resolutions. Do we have any other members of the public? Sure. Please come up. >> This on the resolutions only. >> Ron Laughler 6 Nancy Circle.
>> Welcome. >> Uh I'm here today to speak on resolution 178, the affordable housing. um to ask the council to partly revise the ADU portion of the plan before adoption to allow for the mechanism to include the
RB and RBB zones uh in the ADU uh section. I spoke last week at the planning board regarding the same to ensure as this plan moves forward in the future, there should be clarity as to the intent. Homeowners in all of Edison are in need
of ADUs, including what they were originally designed for, to accommodate the aging population so that older parents can live with their children, seniors can age in place, or the need for additional income by only allowing ADUs in the RA zones, primarily one side
of town. The outcome would be that only one side of a town should be allowed to age in place and also uh not allowing the RB zones uh to build ADUs, the economic utility, the increase in potential increase in property values. Uh I don't believe any of the zones
should be exempt uh RA or RB. Um as the planners who made the presentation at the planning board noted, they discussed garage conversions um which they already built. They would just have to modify it. uh whether it's a single car or double car and a lot of properties
already have the room. >> I'm sorry we we were I apologize some of this is >> a lot of the properties already have the room uh to build 400 square ft uh ADUs.
Uh and then a question so that if instead of passing it maybe have that change made and then pass the housing portion uh once you modify for RB zones. So in the third round obligation settlement uh
there was a deferment of 610 units from 2025 to 2035. Does the fourth round obligation settlement take this into account take this deferment into account or is that an additional amount that will be
required from the township? In other words, does the settlement for the fourth round obligation satisfy both the fourth round as well as the deferred third that's owed within the same 10-year period.
So my question and that's >> okay. >> Um we actually have someone here uh that worked on this right behind you. Sonia, we do we give him miss microphone. I guess he can speak and testify like
anybody else does, right? Um just >> Yeah. If you don't mind, any other questions you have? First, Rod, I am a I'm fully support the ADU opportunity. I just at this particular time um I'm trying to wrestle with how the language should be in for that and I'm
not prepared but I do agree with you. Um so that's you're going to come up. He's going to Oh, he's going to take >> or is that way >> a soft seat? Okay. >> Sure. Well, you going to take it from there? Go ahead. I normally don't want to treat another
lawyer this nice giving him a nice seat where I can't stand but I'm sorry we'll refer to you and Ron he had worked on this pretty strong you may like him at the end of this you may not so far I liked them but the jury is still out
>> good uh council it's good to be here Christopher Zaro of the law firm Rain Cofflin Menchello I specifically work on affordable housing litigation and compliance um and I've been working on uh the township's efforts uh to meet its obligations for the fourth round. I have two specific um responses to the
comment. Let me just run through for the benefit of the public and the council um just the basics of where we're at in this part of the process. >> If you can just answer the ADU part. Let's get to that part. Just that's the only question he had and he's >> sure >> been involved and has been a caretaker
in uh in affordable housing. So adu is what he wants to hear about. >> Sure. So the ADUs is a the ADU component is a part of your your part of your plan for how you can achieve compliance going forward. There's no specific zoning that
is incorporated into this plan at this time. It's identifying that this is one of those mechanisms and there can be consideration down the road of what specific ways you incorporate ADUs into your zoning map. Um whether that's a you know the extent of that project. So that's going to be something that's fleshed out over time. and there's no
there's neither a zone that's excluded or included in this specific um document. The second part is the question about the carryover. So it's correct that in your third round pursuant to your third round settlement agreement um there was
a carryover of 610 units from the third to the fourth round. It's a little bit complex, but the what the approach that's taken in this document that's laid out is the 610 units becomes part of something called unmet need. Uh so what what we've done is we've identified
what the court's obligation is for the fourth round period which is 727 units. Then there's a vacant land adjustment where you basically look at what developable land still exists in the township and you bring down your what I'll call your affirm you develop what's
your affirmative obligation. What do you really have to plan for? And that number comes down to 231 units. What's left over is called unmet need. you got to address in some in some way, but it's le it's less of an affirmative component of your obligation. In the case of the 610
units from the third round, because there's not enough developable land, that unmet need mechanism is added on. I'm sorry, excuse me. The 610 carry-on is added into your unmet need and it's what exists going forward as affordable
units are constructed in the township whether it's through ADUs or other mechanisms or other redevelopment projects that come AC come that come into the sphere of possibility over 10 years that gets that will chip away at your
unmet need but uh that 610 is accounted for in the plan. councelor is will there be a shot at the plate later to add amend this and add ADUs to it when and if >> so what this plan does is it creates the it creates the ability to use that
mechanism and there's certainly a chance to craft that zoning in the future for sure >> is when he people mentioned to when this unit is created >> who has the chance to live there can I have my mother-in-law live in there or is it who decides who lives in that ADU
>> yeah so it's a common misperception that you if you participate in this program and you deed restrict your ADU unit that you can simply rent it to anyone you want. It doesn't work like that. If it's an affordable unit and you have the benefit of building that, you have to go
through the procedure set by the state. You have to affirmatively market that unit not just to Edison but across the region which means that you are not the person who selects who your tenant is. It's an aspect of the ADU process and the regulations that are currently in
place, but you cannot simply turn around and rent it to your mother-in-law. It doesn't work like that in the affordable housing context. >> And depending on the piece of property, what's stopping a resident from just building an ADU? Does it have is it set by us that it
must comply with affordable housing? Does he have a does a person have the option? Do we have the option? So we have ADUs laid out in the master plan, but the ordinance was never put together. That that's what I was talking about Sonia with earlier. I >> mean >> for a regular resident to do it.
>> Does anybody ever have a shot to have their mother-in-law live in the backyard? >> So >> or she live in the house and maybe the son-in-law lives in the backyard. >> So you're going to have an there there's always an opportunity to craft an ADU with multiple layers. You can have ADUs that have an affordable component. You
can have ADUs that have non-affordable components. So that's something that you can develop over time. So there might be an ADU that doesn't have any any type of zoning attached any type of affordable housing requirement attached to it. Those options are out there. If you create the opportunity to use ADUs as a
mechanism to capture affordables, that's the way you're going to get state credit. You don't get state credit for these units unless you meet the state regulations. >> Okay. But we can still change the ordinance. Okay. Is that Brown? Are you happy with that so far? I mean, I I will
work with a few council members and I'll find out when everyone's here who is in favor of ADUs. I certainly am. Um, and we'll hopefully have a chance to have another swing at the plate. Is that fair, counselor? We'll be able to amend this at another time. >> Uh, that's correct. The crafting of
those ADU zoning, that's something that can that takes place can take place into the future. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much, counselor. >> Okay. Well, you may just want to stay there for a minute in case anybody else comes up.
Don't get comfortable. Anybody else from the public like to speak? Seeing none other on the resolutions, we're going to a motion to close the resolutions. Motion to close the public portion of resolutions. >> Motion to close. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> All in favor say I.
>> I. Members of the council, members of the council for the resolutions, anyone would like to pull a resolution starting from my right, council member Brusher. >> Uh 176
and 178. Any other um council member Dimma? >> No. Council Vice President Kentos. >> No. >> Okay. Uh, can I have a motion to approve the consent consent agenda
without 176 and 178? >> Motion to approve. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> Okay, madam clerk. Roll call. >> Council member Brusher. >> Yes. >> Council member Dimma. >> Yes. >> Council member Kentos. >> Yes. >> Council member Council President Coyle.
>> Yes. Okay. So, uh to my right, Council Brasher 176. >> Uh yes, 176, right? Sports funding. Um I'd just like to thank the administration. You guys told us at the last meeting that you were going to make
sure you had it on this agenda. Um I I know the leagues are really stressing for it. Uh so I I appreciate you guys getting that together and getting it out there for us. So, thank you. >> Yeah, I'd like to say thank you, too, so I don't get killed in the parking lot.
>> [laughter] >> I actually was surprised that I didn't receive as many phone calls as I expected, but I think a lot of it has to do with what we've done over the last year with the sports fields and improvements to our parks and building a new uh rec center and turfing uh the
Jets field. I I I think we certainly have met some opportunities to get there, but even though it's late and but it's being done today. So, um, so without fail, is that a motion? Uh, Council Member Brer, do you have a motion to
approve? >> Yes. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> Madam Clerk, roll call on 176. >> Council member Brusher. >> Yes. >> Council member Dimma. >> Yes. >> Council member Kentos. >> Yes. >> Council President Coyle. >> Yes.
>> Um, Council Member [clears throat] Brusher. 178. >> Yes. 178. Um, this goes this is a similar type thing. Um, I know our law firm has been working on this for quite some time and I appreciate, you know, everything that they've done here. Um, I
believe this is actually a pretty good scenario for us to move forward with. I do agree with my council colleague that certain aspects should be looked at, but I think that's more like planning like planning board kind of stuff than it is
um for us for the affordable housing. But how they went about this and how they laid it out um very happy with what their proposal is here. Um so thank you very much. >> Council have a motion approve. >> Yes.
>> Cam second. >> Second. Madam clerk, roll call on 178. >> Council member Brusher. >> Yes. >> Council member Dimma. >> Yes. >> Council member Kentos. >> Yes. >> Council President Coyle. >> Yes. >> Okay. Um we're going to open up the
public portion for oral petition remarks. For those who are watching, this is the point where you can speak on any part of resolution or anything from the public. Uh if you're in the public, you have four minutes to speak. Please come up. Any members of the public that
would like to speak? Yes, please come up. Elizabeth Conway 20 Netherwood Circle. Uh my question before uh was the funding which I'm totally for
is for the funding of the actual organization but the property that these groups are on actually belong to the township and would the township be responsible for paving and I'm just using that as an
excuse for paving the lot at North Edison baseball and softball because there's no way that could be considered in the 224,000 that the leagues need to literally function daytoday was my my
question on that which I didn't hear an answer. I can only answer this what what I know which is and I don't mind doing a back and forth the um some of the fields are owned by Edison Township some of them aren't like earlier Councilman Brer mentioned the Shamrocks field for
instance the county actually owns that and we have an agreement to cut the grass over there >> right >> um so we don't actually own it um as far in the past and I know this from when I was a kid um normally if um the township paved like the parking lot of like um a
sports that sports area or the the you know the area for parking by the field. That was an agreement between the organization and the administration. Hey, can you guys get this paid for us? Even though we may not own the parking lot, that's how that was done in the past. Again, I don't have a list of the
fields in front of me and who owns them. I I know various ones in the south end. I don't know a lot about the ones in the north end. >> I haven't looked up the deeds in a long time. >> They they do need it. Um the second item is uh the school budget that was brought
up by uh the president. Uh that was a preliminary budget, but many people were at the board meeting last week and they were appalled at what was going on because we we knew it was going to happen because if you say we don't need
to tax the people, then that means we don't need the money. So the state turned around and said, "Well, if you don't need it from the taxpayers, then we don't need to give you all of it. we're going to hold back some more. The only thing I fear is in the past um the
town council got involved and cut back on the board of education budget and that was really hurtful that year. Uh I want to say 2008 maybe they cut back I want to say $9 million
and that hurt. Uh so I'm hoping that that will not happen. But as I said, the bud the it's only a preliminary budget. Hopefully they'll work a little bit better uh and work it happier to the
residents. Um and the third thing that I'd like to bring out is we keep talking about, you know, overdevelopment in the town and that just doesn't seem to be happening. Um, if you have ever driven on uh Wood Avenue and there's this
humongous I I can't even call it a McMansion because it's so big. It took over three lots in order to build this property. Well, now all of a sudden, if you go down Wood Avenue, now there's another property where it looks like
it's just two little homes, but they're putting in three new homes in that spot. And I I'm just leerary about allowing the overdevelopment that's still continuing in the town. And
I'm hoping that if you have any influence that you would look into it because there's things going on like last month it was uh Thomas Place and now I see something on uh Wood Avenue and we're just continually uh adding on
and on and on. On Sunday, I went to uh Bon for Easter dinner and Bon was always cons. It's Hudson County, but it's outside. You use some of my time. Um, so they weren't as built up as say
Hoboken or New Jersey City, and I went there the other day, and it's just outlandish the number of high-rise apartments that are being allowed to be built. And all I could vision is Amboy Avenue looking like that. So if you have
any influence at all, we don't need another Hudson County on Amboy Avenue. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anyone else, >> Council Vice President? >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Okay. Um ju just to your point with like
the school funding, um I I I think your statement has a little bit of um um like misnomer in there. um were that if we don't raise taxes, the state's going to remove money from us.
Um the state has a funding formula. They're required by law to give us what that's in that formula is. What they can do is they can say we only have enough money for 80% of all the funds in New Jersey and then every district should
get 80%. What happened in the past was they didn't. Nobody did the math. Edison was shortch changed for 20 years. Okay. So, in this round here where Edison short
changed, the superintendent needs to and and our schools, we we have teachers or math teachers. They're they have PhDs. They should be able to figure out the math equation, right? But they need to compare those to make sure everybody's being funded fairly. If it is, then
unfortunately, yes, you know, we're on the hook for it. But if not, then they need to do like a class action and set that up with the state and force the state legislature to come up with the rest of the money and pay us. Um, you know, they they can't
spend money. Um, so like they couldn't charge us a 2% tax every year and then just take that and squander that. That would make us like Nor Perth Amboy, right? You know, just coming up with projects to do. So, I think they've been very frugal for 5
years. Um, and I'd like to get to the bottom of this and I hope the superintendent's willing to, you know, go that extra yard. I know there's a lot of pressure on the board members, right? So, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure they're going to ask the superintendent for this because I'm going to actually open requests this information, not as a
councilman, as a resident that my taxes are going up, right? Um, so yeah, I mean we'll get to the bottom of this one, >> right? >> Enrollment is down. You know, it's in I I you know, I got a lot of calls about this and I'll say it here because I said
it to a lot of people who called me. They're like, "How can enrollment be down?" And I give my example, right? Over the past 5 years, I've now have four kids that are not in the Edison school system no more. And I'm not going nowhere. And no new kids are coming into my house. I can assure you of that. So,
you know, I'll be here till I'm dead and um there's going to be no more kids in my house. >> Well, well, right. And that's something the school board has to come up with. Right. >> Right. Like where maybe they have too many administrators at this point. Uh you know, that's something for them to
come up with. Um but right at the end of the day, I'm just looking for that formula to be >> done. Okay. Thank you, council members. Okay. We have um any other [clears throat] members of the public that'd like to speak? Seeing none, can have a motion to close the public portion.
>> Motion to close. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> Thank you, council members. Thank you, members of the public. Report from all council meetings. Uh 21 from my right. Council member Brusher. >> Uh none at this time.
>> Council member Dimma. I have my animal shelter report here for the month of March. Adoptions, 32 cats, 20 dogs. Um, reclaim nine dogs currently in the shelter.
There are 19 dogs, including one that's on a 10-day hold, 59 cats, one chicken. Um, and we are holding six dogs, four cats, and one cockatu for the resident um that passed away. And that's it.
No rabbits. Just want to check it. >> Council vice president um council vice president Kentos. >> Um yeah for uh what do you call I I met with the um openspace committee this week but for all my committee reports just go to robertkentos.com committees and um you can see all my
notes and things there. >> Great. Fantastic. And as far as my committees at this time I have nothing to report. Um we're going to move to 22 points of light. Uh, any members of the council have any points of light to report?
Okay, seeing none, we're going to move over to the discussion items for number 23. Council member Brusher, >> none at this time. >> Thank you. Council member Dimma, >> none at this time. >> Council Vice President Kentos, >> none at this time. [snorts] And I have
had a few on here which I addressed with the administration and there's nothing at this time to speak of. Uh you heard from affordable housing so might have nothing at this time. So can I have a motion to adjourn the meeting? >> Motion to adjurnn. >> Have a second.
>> Second. >> All in favor say I. I. >> This meeting adjourned.
