think it was going to get there but it did and it actually is beautiful. It looks better than it looks like brand new. Um, so I wanted to thank Nick Urman who's who's uh works
company and he donated his time and his power washing to go above and beyond the call of duty. He's he powerwashed all the um the tiles and the stones and all that jazz. And he will be back on Monday

city council. I mean, one bag. It's not really costing you anything but a little bit of time to clean out your closet. So, that's just one of many because I believe that the um monuments are quite pricey. We don't have a committee yet for the monument, but they're working on
that. That's above my pay grade. Um also, the scarecrow selfie contest is on. You send your picture to the um there's a little QR code on there which brings you to the email. It's a Gmail.
So, if you take your picture, send it to the Gmail, then you have a chance of winning one of three $50 prizes. So, it's not based on costumes or anything. It's just based on a random drawing. And American Legion breakfast is this Saturday, so I hope everyone will come
out and support our vets. The German dinner at the Moravian Church is on Saturday also, so you really don't have to cook and maybe skip lunch with all that good food. And the coalition will be at Lincoln Park also. What time is that, Chief? 10

>> Okay. Thank you. Uh council committee chair reports uh Councilman Wright for parks and playgrounds. >> Nothing. I was asked to postpone it until November. >> Okay. That that was the one concerning Counciloman Galloway sustainability
Jersey. Um Jerry and a couple members of our tree committee uh are attending the uh 100th annual New Jersey Shade Tree Federation Conference in Atlantic City today and tomorrow. Jerry will be presenting tomorrow about uh on a panel
about our tree program that everybody in the state has heard about. I felt like a celebrity today. Right. So, um, and that's it for sustainable. >> Anything else on
>> No, I'll save the others for later. >> Thank you, Councilwoman Essie. For safety and Rotary and Code, >> uh, I have nothing for safety code. I just want to say uh our last meeting was in August, so I'd like to schedule a
follow up to close out items from earlier this year and discuss uh a new job posting. Um I'll reach out via email to uh the committee. So uh keep an eye open for your um for that on your email.
Uh the other thing I wanted to say was um I'd like to thank Jod for adding the online rental registration. Thank you, Jody. um uh the registration payment it is to the city's website. Both online rental payments and rental inspection
scheduling can now be found on the city's website. Um this is for rentals. Uh both uh online scheduling and payment have been set up for for the convenience of the landlords. Uh scheduling your inspections online also helps to free up
the department to perform their many other duties. Uh, I'd like to thank the landlords that have used Calendarly this year so far to schedule their inspections. Um, the bowling alley, I'm sure Jerry will touch on that. We we were at the meeting
>> at the court today, so um we'll find out what happens. And um that's all I have for code and Rotary. Um there's been an addition to the Halloween parade. Uh the addition is a wheelchair viewing area. Um the area will be first come first
served and will be located near the DJ um table. So uh just a little heads up on that. If anyone knows anyone, please pass that information on that's in a wheelchair. Um it it should be a lot more convenient for them that way. Um
also the Rotary would like to thank all of the seventh and eighth grade students who participated in this year's Halloween poster contest. The judges said, "The creativity and effort truly shined. There were so many wonderful works of art. It made it made it a
challenge to choose the winners." And uh they had two honorable mentions and that's like evidence of how hard it was for them to choose. Uh the winning posters will be on display at the Grocery Outlet in Hamilton Commons. Uh the winners will be posted on the Egg
Harbor City's Facebook site as well today. Uh that's all I have. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. >> President. I have a question. >> Sure. >> Are we hiring someone else for the code department because you said um about hiring? We're we're a new hire. Well, not right. Not right this minute. We
have um we have to settle some other things first with the uh previous hire, new hire. So, he's no longer in code and he hasn't been. So, that's something that um we're working on right now. Maybe Jerry could uh elaborate a little bit more on that, but right now we
aren't doing anything until certain things get settled. because the bill hasn't been let go because we haven't noticed about it. >> Okay. Thank you. Yeah.
>> Okay. Thank you, Councilman. >> I I shot something. Um just to let council know and anybody else who's interested, Wednesday morning, 10:00 a.m. we will be meeting at Halt Winery with the s folks from Sustainable
Jersey. There will be people coming from all over South Jersey, from Cape May to Ocean and Burlington County to get their Atlantic City Electric Awards. So, if anybody's interested in going, let me know. >> Okay. Thank you, Councilman Timbers for
um ordinance, land use, and Hopton. I have nothing land use. Uh I don't have anything on this line has anything. Um, as far as uh ordinance, we had a meeting on Tuesday and we discussed uh possible amendments to the
city's ordinance uh dealing with uh dealing with vicious dogs. So, we wanted to um define the terms um clear. So, um we have vicious dogs, we also have potentially dangerous dogs. Um, and we also wanted to address how property
owner or dog owners should um should address if they do have a vicious dog or they or a dog that has been determined by court as being vicious or if they have a potentially dangerous dog, how they're supposed to um handle that dog
to keep um keep, you know, their neighbors um safe from that animal. Um, and also what potentially could uh happen to that animal if they don't register it, if they don't follow uh the court's instructions. Uh, we're hoping
to have this ordinance um introduced at the next meeting. >> Okay. Question. Are you looking to do an ordinance that's different from the New Jersey Dangerous Dog Act? It sounds It seems from what you described, it seems like everything that you're working on
is already described in that. So, what we're trying to do is we're trying to update the city's ordinance. Okay. Not so much um to to match up to the state, but just what we think is going to be um match up best for a harbor city. >> So, are you looking to have different
definitions of those items other than what the state has designated? And is that a potential problem? >> That's what I think we needed more clarification on. So, we're going to have to consult with the attorney. What I think we had, Steve, was a a draft
that our city attorney provided, but it the part of the draft that was sent around didn't have definitions. Didn't have what a vicious dog, what a dangerous dog, all of those things. I think that's what the code committee >> I think the d New Jersey danger dog act is very specific and two definitions for
those definitions and see if those slide into our >> I think that's what Chris is saying. >> Yeah. I'm just concerned that we're that you're going to work on an ordinance that contradicts the state law. >> Yeah, that's a problem. >> So, so we'll make sure I'll let Chris know when I speak tomorrow that we'll
make sure we don't have that issue. >> Mike, are you familiar with that at all? >> Yeah. Yeah, I've seen our file think it's very accurate. >> Okay. >> So, we're not going to contradict. >> We will certainly contradict >> if there in some way if the state law
preempts us. That's one thing. But you don't necessarily have to match one for one. So, we'll leave that to our attorneys. They'll review it and give us something that, you know, that if we pass, it'll survive challenge. >> Okay. I'm just I'm just um I'm just concerned that you're trying to um spend
resources to reinvent the wheel when it's already clarified clearly in the state. >> It's not a matter of preeemption that it's something that we can address specifically. Okay. for the town. >> There's been uh so many incidents recently that Sure.
>> people have come here and complained about that >> viewers wanted it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I I understand. I do that. I do this for a living. So, I understand. >> Understood. >> In fact, I believe New I believe Harour City was one of the first municipalities to prosecute under New Jersey dangerous
back many years ago. >> When Mr. Barbettto was attacked by three holes on New York Avenue. I can tell you our ordinance does have holes. Just to speak personally, you know, if you know my story, my dog was
was killed on my property by a pit bull that had killed multiple animals in the town. Now, they were able the property owner um ordinances say that you can speak to an official who can tell you we're a place where you can have the dog
and it's supposed to be of that person's choosing. But this, our ordinance would let you know the the prop the dog owner decide where the dog should be. So they could give it to a relative and then the dog could be moved outside of the municipality's jurisdiction. And that's
what happened to me. So there was an order, but only if the dog were somehow to end up back in the state of New Jersey. They have moved the dog. That shouldn't be possible. You shouldn't be able to take a vicious dog and then and then harbor it somewhere. by by state law, vision dog would need to be
euthanized by state law. >> It but it takes a it takes a decision of the court. So in the meantime >> while the dog they think move the dog and that shouldn't be possible. >> Yeah. >> So things like that we wanted to clean up.
>> Okay. >> Okay. Anything else Carl? >> Nice. >> Okay. Thank you. >> U Mr. Do >> I don't have anything to report. We didn't public works did not have a meeting. Uh though public works functions and activities have been
pretty busy. I'll leave that to the administrator and to our engineer and their reports to go into the details and answer questions. >> Okay. Thank you. Councilwoman Clark for school. >> Uh nothing at this time. Thank you.
>> Okay. Anything to add? Uh Councilman Heist. Councilwoman Heist and Dash. No. No. >> No. Thank you. Okay. All right. Um, as far as uh redevelopment and finance, um, we
haven't had a meeting in a few weeks. Uh, some some of us were on vacation. So, so we're looking to have a meeting Monday where we have a lot of agenda items to talk about. So, at the next meeting, we'll be able to report on
that. Okay. Uh, next we have our chief of police. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Um, few numbers for you. Since last time we met 9:25 between today, we've had one aggravated assault, two burglaries, one fraud report, one simple assault, one
single motor vehicle, six thefts, 14 motor accidents, one pedestrian stop, 60 traffic stops, 39 substances issued, one DUI arrest, a total of 11 adults, nine or excuse me, eight business alarms, five residential alarms, 114 crime
prevention activities, six domestic violence incidents, EM uh 34 EMS incidents, six firearms, arms ID applications, eight follow-ups, 500 and property checks, and 13 public services. Um, in terms of operation supports and
training, we've had our entire department with their mandatory defensive package training. Um, over the last few weeks, anybody here at city hall may have seen us here. We moved everything and that's where on the on the floor um and we got to, you know,
practice our jiu-jitsu moves. Um, we have one. It's what it is. Um so uh we had one officer who completed their firearms instructor research and then we had three officers who completed um a training so that they can faster uh
while we can uh more expeditiously get through firearms applications. So instead of having just one or two officers who can move out a few more who can uh assist with that. Um few things I'd like to point out. Um
last time housing mimmers you asked about some of the uh stuff like follow-up stuff and things like that. So I went and looked through some of the uh calls that we had just snapshot this last uh period that we had. So the one aggravated assault that we had we had an uncooperative victim. They wanted to
tell us what happened. However, we did our investigation that had happened. I saw it happen on October 2nd on October 8th. did wind up arresting the suspect and um you know he was subsequently arrested and processed and so we took care of that. The two burglaries that we
had listed um on October 10th uh there was a burglary in Harbor Plaza. Um we were able to take a look at surveillance, find a witness. We subsequently went to the person's home, the suspect's home and arrested him later on that night. Uh arrested and
processed him. Um there was an elderly ant who thought that somebody broke into his second story apartment. We were able to look at some video and find that's not the case. So that was not really a burglary. But we here at Ec Harbor City do not change our incidents to make it say okay no this was not what the stat
was. We leave it as it is and um it was reported as a burglary but it was not really a burglary. Stolen motor vehicle. We had unfortunately we had a stolen motor vehicle. Um we sat on that vehicle. Uh because we had in we had intelligence of his
vehicle may have had guns and drugs in it. Had traps in it. And traps are uh hollow areas in the vehicle that have special uh buttons and you have to, you know, hit the air conditioner, tap on
something three times, do whatever for certain things to open up in certain ways. Um had reports that was that kind of vehicle had a few traps in it. We sat on that vehicle. um did a high-risisk stop on it. Uh wed up arresting the subject and it did indeed have traps in it. We did not find all of the guns and
drugs that we found, but it was a stolen motor vehicle, so that was recovered and the gentleman was arrested. Um thefts, these are fun. Um a few legitimate thefts. One woman had an assortment of lawn tools stolen from her
property. Uh some we did have a resident have some recycling cans stolen. Uh some of the brand new ones. I get it. Everybody's envious. Um, so they're stolen. Um, they did have a bicycle stolen. Then we had a few others that were not necessarily thefts or if they were thefts, uh, they were not
anything of real significance. For example, Waw Wa Waw Wa will not really sign complaints. Not worth their time to go to court. So, we had some thefts from there. They just wanted the the gentleman banned who were stealing stuff. Um, had another issue where it wasn't necessarily a theft. It was more of a civil matter. A gentleman
apparently uh had an issue with a boss, so she decided to keep his tools until they figured out what was going on. Not really. >> Um exactly. Um so, you know, uh then we had
gentlemen who um constantly reports his encyclopedia stolen. They were not stolen. He had gotten rid of them a long time ago, but we deal with this and you know the he calls and says that his encyclopedias have been stolen. We love him. We tell him every time. Listen, you know,
>> I have some like encyclopedias he get happy. >> So those are the kinds of things that that we deal with and you know, so we uh it's we have these stats and you know sometimes you know some of the stats are
not really what they seem you know. So we have these these reports of okay theft and this that the other. Um one thing that I do want to bring up is that you know so we do these things and you know we do our due diligence and we try to find out what's going on you know when we have these crimes these
burglaries these things we we do our due diligence take a look at cameras interview people all that kind of stuff. Um, and then we also, you know, run into fires. And this last week with the storm, we did have an officer who had to wade through uh about 100, maybe 200
yards of waste deep water to go drag somebody out of a submerged car because the road was closed, but somebody decided they needed to drive down the road to get to where they had to be. So this officer, you know, with all of his
stuff on and fortunately, God bless outer carriers. The outer carriers, for folks that don't know, they're the vests that you can attach all of your stuff to. Fortunately, all of his electronic equipment, his radio, his body warn camera was up here, not down here. Because that would have been
very expensive, and I would not have been happy, and America's not been happy, and Jody would not have been happy. But, you know, he's walking in the very cold water while it's still raining, while it's still nasty. Anybody who was out on Monday or Sunday, uh, Sunday or Monday knows how that was. Um, and this
gentleman could not swim. The one who was out in his car that was submerged, who was kind of standing on top of his vehicle. So, you know, these are the kinds of things that we do. And fortunately, also had a very good Samaritan who did have a lifted truck who heard on his scanner a fire call go
out and decided to drive down to see if he could potentially help. He did pick Sergeant Manold who was the officer who did the waiting and the gentleman who could not swim and drove them back the 100 to 150 200 yards back. Um, so you
know that was very helpful. So, I will get the name of that Samaritan because I think that he also deserves to be recognized. And I did want to recognize Sergeant Mangle because yeah, it was cold and you know it was uh it's pretty
I think so >> that car submerged on a road. >> Yes. lower road. Um it gets a and you know >> on the opposite side of the bridge uh in Burlington County there were barricades, cones, road closed everything, barrels
and then here at the end of Lower Bank Road on Philadelphia Avenue, road closed everything, you know, but >> people have to get where they have to get. >> Um so
>> yeah. Um but yeah, so you know that's what that's what we do here in our little town with the carnival department, you know. So >> do do you get comparisons of what our stats look like versus the other towns in Atlanta County?
>> So we can do comp stats. Um it's difficult though because of the like I said we don't juke our stats. That's what it's called. Um, and I'm not saying that other departments necessarily do,
but I'm not saying that they don't. So, um, and I mean it's it's also very difficult as well because we are very different. We can't compare ourselves to a Longport or Margate. You know, it's a different demographic. You know, the demographic that we are often compared
to is a we are called a mini Atlantic City in the Pleasantville. If you look at those, if you look at those statistics, our violent crimes are way lower. You know, we are a fraction of what we have there. Um, oh, you know what? One other thing I
forgot to say. I'm sorry. I want to brag about these guys. So, um, car stops. >> Yeah. >> Um, I don't know if you guys read about there was an article or there's been some recent arrests, uh, in Britain.
There was a serial sexual assault. Um, and uh, this guy had warrants out for the aggravated sexual assault, first degree, firstdegree aggravated sexual assault during a burglary, secondderee sexual assault, thirdderee aggravated
criminal sexual contact, thirdderee burglary of an occupied drawing, fourth degree tampering with evidence. And Carper City, one of our officers did a car stop. and his due diligence. This guy was apprehended on that car stop and was then brought over to Brigantine for
processing. Um, you know, so we do car stops. We do our due diligence and find people and uh make the arrests, you know. So I wanted to say that about officer White uh he's a fat car stop and you know knew something was kind of hinky about that guy. Ran for once and
and you know um got a really bad guy off the streets. Bad man. I I don't know if Look that up if you haven't read about it. Just look that up. That was sweet. >> Well, I do >> I do I do know your car stops have been awesome the past few months. Um >> Yeah. Well, that's awesome because we
have our one guy back in workers comp. We have our one guy back in the military and we've got our trainees up and running. So, you know, we're not running on much of a skeleton crew anymore. Well, if you want to do comp stats with Margate and Vner and Longport regarding
young people driving through flood waters, it happens all the time. >> I I believe that. I Yeah, I I believe that. Um I mean, in their defense, they might not have any, you know, it's flood
through it create way going into houses. That's all we did. Down there, >> you have to put that little weight embarrass, you know, what the stats are in terms of
>> burglaries. Uh, if if you want information about certain things, um, then we can we can definitely do that. Um, >> I was just correct. Chief, if you're finished your report, do you want to talk a little bit about um Halloween trick-or- treat because
people are very always confused about what day it is and all that jazz? >> Absolutely. And trick-or-treating in a Carver City is always on Halloween >> in a Carver City. Always on Halloween. All we are traditionalists here when it
comes to that. So on Halloween from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. um we recommend and we have bags out here. They are bright orange out here in city hall so you can grab those. >> Wear brightly lit clothing. Have a flashlight or a lantern, something of
the sort so that way you are nice and safe. Ride across at crosswalks. I know it's difficult. It's so exciting and there's so much candy. I promise you they will not not give it to you if you go to the crosswalk. Um so please be very very careful. Parents,
if you are going to drive your kids, even though they should be walking and getting their steps in because they're going to eat all that candy and they should work off all that sugar, um if you're going to drive them from house to house to house, please be very aware that there will be kids darting in and
out from between cars. Um and be careful because the last thing we want is any accidents where pedestrians are being hit. We will have officers out and about all throughout the town. Um it's pretty much an all hands on deck kind of night.
Um we will be competing with some a football game unfortunately at Cedar Creek. >> It's crazy. >> Uh yeah, we have a uh a playoff game which I am I'm still trying to talk to
Mr. Ernie, their athletic director, to try to get that moved earlier into the day. I'm begging. I'm pleading. I don't know how much that's going to work, but >> this date thing is crazy. >> Um, but yeah, so we're going to have that, but please, please, please be careful. Brightly lit. Um, always walk
with a partner. If you have any issues, please call us happy. And like I said, we'll be out and about, rolling around. If you see our bright lights, we'll be out there. So, yeah. Anything else? >> Thank you. >> No problem. >> Um, my son wanted to dress up as a as a police officer this Halloween. So if you
see two adults in orange jump that is uh my husband and I not escaped >> comics handcuffs >> that was his request what it does with the little everything orange is a new >> black
you have a very safe and happy Halloween we'll see you at the Halloween parade and count on Halloween and Yeah, that's all I have. Any other questions? >> Great job. >> Good day. >> RCF >> um just the best practice discussion.
It's something we do every year. The state requires that you complete the best practice checklist. Just kind of a bunch of questions all about different there's core competencies, budget questions, redevelopment. Some of it is unscored where they're just kind of
trying to guess gather municipalities. Um, so I did send out a draft to everybody. So I'll just kind of go over um the only um no questions that we had um is number 13 whether we had any charging stations within the city which
is I don't understand a lot of the questions have either of have an option to be prospective and you can get points for that. Unfortunately this is not one of them. We are working for that. We've been waiting for over a year for a grant from the BPU. So once we get a grant
agreement, then we will we're ready to go. We're really just being state at this point. And the county is also putting in >> we're only ones left that don't have >> solar the solar panels. >> They're free. >> They're not
stations. Have one or more public electric vehicle charging stations been installed on municipal property? So >> good. >> Yeah. So >> anyway, we have plenty of points. It really the scoring um I think there were
41 scored questions. We have um 39. So we only need 32 not have any state withheld state aid withheld. So we're applying. Um the other question is kind of a followup after that. Do we have a policy to um uh to purchase hybrid or
alternative fuel vehicles? So that is something we could consider in the future, but we don't currently have that. >> Well, let let me ask you something. We have the uh energy plan that we did that says that we're going to do that. >> The energy plan with the master plan the
element >> we did it for policy. still putting that information >> even though the council adopted that document. >> Would that count policy? >> It's not a It would be one of the council policies, right?
>> Yeah. >> Would you have to have a vehicle to for that to qualify? >> When purchasing a new vehicle, does your have a formal policy to purchase hybrid or alternative fuel vehicles where whenever such vehicles are suited to the intent?
I mean >> only if there's a grant >> you know it's something we could look into I would say it would be more like >> actually they save more money than the gas powered vehicle >> something we could look into that we
>> have if we don't really need to have to do any of these they're just things that we can >> decide in the future we are interested um there was one still waiting um we're waiting to hear back from the insurance whether there was a thing about um tax collector after um shorty bond
requirements and whether states or municipalities can have like a a more stringent policy and what's required. So, we're waiting just waiting to hear back from the JIP that there's speed that showed policy. Again, we don't need it, but just a good check to that. So,
we're waiting to find out. And then, um, >> that was it. So, >> when is when do you have to turn that in? >> The 24th. So, yeah, a week. >> Week. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Uh, all right. Number 10 is our city clerk. >> Nothing. uh city administrator number 11. So approximately one hour ago, we received a miserable decision for our
longstanding multi-year court case uh for the Bowman Alley. And um we have been um granted the ability to clean up the property and or I'm hoping
it's or find them every single day until they clean up the problem. Uh Chris and I will meet tomorrow to talk about it and see what best works for us. Um but I just wanted to report and and council Hessie and the president were there today and they got to see
what Steve and I go through and it's full but we made it through. So we won a bowl today. >> I have a question. >> One second. So, we were we were we were um
the judge said that he cannot um issue a court order to have us clean it up, but that we have the authority to clean it up under 40-48212F, 40-486512, 40-482147,
and our Earbor city code, which to our credit, only I haven't been here, but for everyone up there, everyone when than prior councils is a very good ordinance for cleaning up these problems. So 17813 is what the judge
cited. So it's really good. Code code is a big part of my job. Uh we're in court once or twice a week now and we just continue to resolve issues resolve issues. In fact, earlier this morning, um I was on the phone with the court
while I was while I had to get off of Jod's, uh meeting with our health insurance, our new health insurance that we resolved the order issue that we have on that side of the um the city. So that sorry >> is that when you say clean up the
property, is that interior and exterior? >> Just exterior. >> Just the exterior. So I don't care. >> The interior is still going through the construction. board of appeals process over in the um over at the county. Um and our first decision at the
construction board of appeals was that board of appeals feels strongly and voted for zero that um the bowling alley has in fact changed the use of the property and is now storage instead of a
bowling alley. Um I will be back with our fire code official in a couple of weeks, maybe three or four weeks to um go over the 11 violations that he received regarding the fire code um violations, fire violations.
So um that portion is still outstanding, but today was a huge day for us in court. I have to commend you and Steve Hley and and Chris's back up there for that working out the way that it did. So, >> good. >> Thank you.
>> Good. We kept Chris in the back row. >> Steaming in between you guys, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, second item is, uh, our company, the company that we contracted with to purchase our toters, delivered
approximately 1,400 toers in about 4 days. And at my request, they did not um, deliver the 140 toers that were supposed to be delivered for businesses that have rental units above them. of uh so DPW
completed that process and we completed that process on Tuesday. So during that process we found four unregistered apartments two which are suspect and under investigation right now. >> So
>> two of the four or two on top of >> two of the four. Okay. Two of the four. Uh number three lead season has started. We started picking up leaves on this side of the of the city earlier this week. This is my 14th leaf season. So,
if anyone wants to call me and give me some line of nonsense or however things have been done in the past, I've heard it all. I've seen it all. Um, we'll get through leaf season. No matter who gets the calls, we'll get through leaf season. It's not an emergency. It's just a week.
Third third this our third home game right this week. >> Yeah. >> One two >> Crusaders. So we've been pretty busy. I call it the home game marathon because it goes all day long. >> Yeah, pretty much. >> But um the DPW has been uh we were there
all day today. We'll be all there tomorrow to make sure it looks really great. >> And thank you for doing the order, too. I greatly appreciate it. >> Yeah. Yeah. So that we had uh uh we had all of that taken care of and then we just finished cutting 168 trees. I give you a cumulative every every um every
month >> and we're going to start pruning. Buffalo is off that we're pruning elevation pruning and uh hazard wood. Yes, >> we have a tree at this saders field right by the the football building that
I mean big chunk of branches are falling down every windstorm you get. I don't know. >> I'll take a look at it. >> Take a look at it. It's the one closest to like the building >> from Harry from Gary. I'm not really going to do anything. >> I know. I know. I know.
>> So, um I'll take a look at it near the >> It's right where the bleach I mean the benches and stuff are. Not the benches for the football field. The benches for picking tables. But as soon as you the concession stand is like here, you're right off that corner. It's that first one. >> I took one out already. >> The one in front of it. >> Okay. Okay. I'll take a look at it.
>> You could probably see the big branches laying right underneath it. >> Okay. Um that's it other than that everything else. >> Could I just ask you about the hoarder? I I missed that. Like what what was it with about the hoarder? Um since 2022, we've been vi we've been issuing
violations for a property that is um overgrown, has a lot of um collectibles in the front, in the back, on the side, the house is basically you can't even go into the house so bad.
So today after four violations um that we wrote up recently since May um we made an agreement with the property owner that we would go in there and clean it up and see the property. >> Okay. >> Thank you. And I do have one other question and it has to do with at Kreck
Field the um the outdoor commode on Buffalo Avenue. I was just curious why there's a there's a um >> construction. >> That's for construction. >> That's American Water doing construction. Oh, is that what that was? Right next to that. I'm like, really? I think that's one of >> Oh, you talking about the port?
>> Yeah, the port. >> Yeah, I was for that. >> That's why we had to have our water blown out because it was coming out brown the other day and going to give it out to the kids and >> they put in a new water line and new water services on um Deer Street >> and so that disturbance caused all sorts of rusty and dirty water.
>> But we flushed all that out. >> Yes, we flushed all that out. >> Great. Thanks. >> Yep. Thank you, >> Jerry. You Oh, I'm sorry. >> Go ahead. Nice. You said that some of the toaders were stolen. Did you notice any Did you get an address like on Arogo Street that was stolen?
>> Yeah. >> Okay. Because I noticed that today that they there was no toers at the house. It's empty. >> Yeah. >> I don't want to say the address, but >> So, so we I have every single serial number of every single toer of every address of every date and time that it
was delivered. So, I sent that one over to get that >> trash to AC. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Jerry, some of them are still sitting in the street. >> Oh, that's on Chicago. >> 159 158
>> and the 100 of Chicago. >> I have to get We have to get around and get those. We were doing deliveries, backyard deliveries, businesses. is I wanted to get the business the rentals above the businesses done and we'll go out on the streets. Truthfully, because I had to organize this and and work through the spreadsheets that we had to
make sure that I kept track of every single can that got distributed. Um I haven't been using doing my usual driving once or twice a week, >> but people been calling in. So, we have sent emails. >> We've removed cans from people who don't want them. We've switched out cans to the smaller. We've done we've done all
of that based on whatever um >> requests come into the clerk's office or or in code. >> Are the smaller cans the same color as >> exactly the same except they're smaller? >> They're smaller. And then if um like I know there's two apartments across the
street from my house and their toers are still in the street. >> Are you planning on taking them away? >> Depends. Because if you take them away, I'm wondering how we can make sure that they get them if they put tenants in there. >> The owner of the code enforcement has
contacted the ones we call we go back and not tell them. They call the landlord and tell them they're out there. >> And the other issue of >> that property, we can do that, too. >> And the other issue I had is they're putting out the trash on the avenue, which I've lived there for 45 years. The
trash goes on the terrace. So that has to be relayed to those people too that the he must be a new owner >> before people knew that. >> I'll talk to Stanley um at ACUA and see if he can come through on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and kind of
address those issues. >> Those houses on the end. One puts them out one puts it out on the on the street. >> Do they have a pickup >> and the other property puts it out on the terrace? >> So there is no collection on the avenue. >> Okay. I think a lot of people got the
trash cans on the street because that's where the address that's where they saw the address. So that's where they left the can and they just assume that that's where they're supposed to put their confus because I know American water ran into that problem when they started doing
things through the terraces. The numbers are on the front of the house that you want them to do something in the back of the house. So, they literally have to drive to the front, count how many houses it is in, and then go around back, count how many houses to know what meter pit they're getting in to change a meter because there's no numbers on the back of the houses.
>> It's just it's confusing. >> Well, I did ride around after collection the other day and certain streets, they were all lined up, >> emptied. It was it looked great, I thought. And then there were other streets like my terrace, which was a
mess. I I think it's just it's a work in progress. >> Aren't going to change people. >> I came home. Believe me, I was going to I I was I was coming to hunt. >> I had trash cans in front of my house,
down my alley. I looked like I had freaking a whole hotel roof. I was going to start I was literally going to put them on Facebook Marketplace and start selling trash cans. Jerry, can you talk about the Pinelands visit a little bit? >> Oh, okay. All right. >> I was just there for
>> just for it was really nice. He he took care of business. >> Okay. >> So, just once on 100 Chicago, that is an apartment building that they're renovating. It must have changed hands.
Um, that's they it I wouldn't remove those because obviously they're going to rent them again, but maybe have the landlord push them in the back because there's >> We'll do that. >> Okay, >> that's Riley out. >> And remember, we had to cut that tree there on the corner. It's that it's that place right there. >> Yeah, we put them off to the side behind
the garage in the backyard. >> We know that if it's a for rent and no one's there, I'm not going to take them out. Plus, they're registered to that address. I want them to leave the address. >> Yeah. And there is also some people on the 100 block of Buffalo, maybe a handful, that put their trash out on Buffalo Avenue. So, I don't think they
have access to the terrace. >> They've always they've always done that. >> Well, they don't have access to the terrace. They're putting it in. >> Yeah, but no, nobody would really know that because you would think they did have access to it, but they don't. But they've always put their trash in the front of the house.
>> Right. Excuse me, Mayor. Does the one on New Orleans Avenue and the White Horse Pike? I know they don't have terrace. >> Our the property at the end there. Yeah, because there's no >> They do put it out. I I don't know. But >> it's right on the corner across from
Drosa Tires and um Yeah, they've put it on the street, but I don't know how they Yeah, >> Mike. They have access to Oh, they don't. >> No, they don't. No, they're kind of pinned in there, but I don't know how they get the >> It's usually right on this on the concrete. Yeah.
I think that's enough trash talk. >> You're good. Okay. Thank you, Micah. Welcome here tonight. Fill in city attorney. >> Uh, you have anything to add? >> Uh, no. Nothing to report, but happy to answer any questions anyone may have. >> Anybody have questions for our attorney?
>> Thank you. Uh, engineer tonight, we have a report from the engineer. Sure. I know that. Um well, Buffalo Avenue, um we're sort of waiting to hold a pre-construction meeting. We're actually still waiting for works from We should have that um any day.
>> You expect that to be done this year? >> I'm still waiting to hear from the contractor. They're expecting somewhere between five and six weeks of concrete work, and they don't want to start the concrete work and then be too late in the season to get paving done. Um we specify a um a process that is more
temperature sensitive than just the surface course. So they really don't want to do that in December. So we're gonna have to make a decision with the next. So we're still with contract except for one tree we've completed. So tree removals on
>> except for one one's going to get done maybe tomorrow, maybe two. >> Yeah. >> Um so the lake campground improvements uh we met with Ron Ward on the site October 7th. Um, we walked the entire site and I would say for all intents and purposes, she agreed with the
interpretation that I gave them uh when we went up to the commission. Um, we walked around the top of the dam. I explained the damn structure. It's all clay underneath. It's all impervious. It's very well compacted. Um, so she kind of agreed it was pretty much as we said it was. She said she didn't have any kind of major species concerns. She
didn't see a need for a cultural research survey because we're not surveying them. Um, so we don't have formal correspondence from them yet because they are uh still internally debating how they're going to treat this. Um, but Rhonda said they expect an answer, a
letter within the next week or two. Um, so we'll see how that that comes out. So, but essentially we're just kind of waiting until they give some direction on what to do with that that the material that was supposed. Um, as for the restrooms, we are trying to get um try out a DCA approval to to purchase
that portion. So, we can just bid them separately. Um, I think the last one of these I I had that we were going to try to get in for award of the 16th, but we forgot about the uh the DCA approval step. So, we're doing that. Uh, city hall improvement, same thing. I had reached out to Triad and they came back
and said, "Yeah, everything looks great. There's just one spelling mistake here." And I interpreted that to mean like we're good to bid the project. Then a week later, they emailed me and said, "Are we good to submit this to DCA?" Which I thought they did. So, just waiting to hear back from TCA to do that. Um, desert improvements. We're
still working through that. Trying to get permanent square away subdivision. We went out and set the property corners. Uh, I'm just waiting for an updated plan that we can get to Chris's office so that they can file the subdivision and then you guys can move forward with the sale of properties.
>> Uh, yeah, >> how many properties are there? >> Uh, three three lots on that section of New Orleans Avenue directly across the community school. Um, I think it'll be pretty desirable properties. So, >> I can tell you that our real estate broker that we work with said that empty
lots are going for above asking. >> We should be in pretty good shape to be able to do that as soon as possible. >> Good. >> What are the size, excuse me, what are the size of those lots? Do you know by chain? >> Each each one is different. We sort of move the boundaries around as best we
could to meet with the wetlands. There's actually a pocket of wetlands in the middle of that block. Oh, yeah. >> But it's so isolated from everything else. we were able to get the buffer down to a 50 foot buffer which is pretty uncommon in finance. Um so with a 50 foot buffer we were able to squeak one house in on the end um another one sort
of next to it and then there's that pocket wetlands and then there'll be another house which is closer to your street but still a few hundred feet away because there's actually bumper from the wetlands on the other side of your street which encroaches on that side. >> Okay. >> Um so I think that'll be the most desirable lot. You'll have woods on both sides and be pretty much in perpetuity.
Um, but I think all three are pretty pretty desirable and for a builder it's already on a big street with her and water. Um, there's water and sewer in the terrace right behind you. So, it's about as you know. >> So, what kind of frontage to her question? >> Um, they vary. I want to say the one is like 300 and the other kind of almost
evenly split the other 300 or so. >> Wow. >> I say it's like 20 170 I think 300ish, >> but don't quote me on that. That's really >> neat. >> Um, okay. the IB stormwork project. Um we were able to get the the bond through. Um you guys authorized us to to
move forward with pending receipt on the technical assistance funding. Um so that should free up even more money for the construction of this. But work with DP on trying to get the next steps and get environmental clearance um so that we can try to move forward and get get that upend.
>> Okay. Sure. All of our bottles good things that motivates >> well that's I I know they have to replace the priority there is they ask us every year on the MS4 stuff like how many you replace this year so u last thing on the front side here is the the
dri street from Brley Baltimore and we're just waiting for DT currents to bid that um I'm going to point that's going to be a spring project but u since it's a new road construction most probably will start in February and March as long as we get somebody contract Um and then back sides just some quick
updates. Um we actually brought Rhonda over to the direct fields to discuss the um informal parking area that is developing years. So um we talked about that there is a
need there um but there's no ability to permit it where it is. So in the MM we have to restore that area to the grass condition. Um but she did float the idea of building some parking up closer to the dugouts for the Babe Ruth Field.
>> Um because the Harbor Fields uh would count as intervening development. So even though it was probably within the wetlands buffer, because Harbor Fields exists and their parking lot and structures are in between the wetlands and there that intervening development would give us potential justification to
build something to accommodate parking. Um just a little farther, a little closer up to Buffalo Valley. Mhm. >> So we can talk about that and see, you know, how big they can whether you think it's orientated and what they could do there. But >> so there there's an avenue >> across the fields.
>> Oh, thank you. >> Right across the public. >> Oh, so on T-Rex property. Okay. I thought maybe that's other property. >> Yeah. If you know where the existing gravel lot is. >> Yeah. Where they park. >> You're right. So if you come off of Deer Street there and you sort of look to the right where the the Bay Ruth Field is, it would be like closer to their
dugouts. It's a lot more in Fal territory, >> unfortunately. We're going to pick up are we going to pick up much space much parking? >> I mean it was replicate what's there. >> Okay. >> Windshields. We have to debate that there is put up a net or
>> they park there any coaches park there. >> And once that becomes grass people still park there. >> It's just the way it >> as soon as there's still grass there. I was just hoping we found a remedy to
parking out there. >> Yeah, that that big empty field next to Bay Route that I've been begging for that P lands will not give us. >> Yeah. Yeah. We talk about basketball court. Apparently, it's on the good side. Now's the time. >> They tried us and I actually went up
there with Dan McInness years ago also. And uh I told him before we got there, I said they're going to say no. And he said, "No, no, no." And we talked them through a basketball court and then we got done and they were like, "Yeah, no." What about the caddy corner corner one from Kreck that's across from across
from Harbor Fields but it's caddyy corner there used to be a house on it >> was a house though it was residential and the house was falling in and when Ed was the president we had it torn down because we were afraid kids were going to play in it walking up from school >> I think that's
>> there are two lots there >> yes >> one of them was sold and the other one we still own and cut >> we cut that lot >> years ago that this when I brought it up about turning that into a parking lot. And I believe it was me and you got >> the community swim, remember? >> Not that was the baseball field. That's
Chicago field. We're talking about that the fields that the big roof hits all their thousand. >> I got you. >> Yeah. >> Um so and across the street was two city owned lots. >> And the deal was that we were going to try to get Pelands to see if we can make a flip-flop trade. Basically the city
give them those two lots and we would take the the uh the wooded area by the bay roof field and turn it into a parking lot. But that did not >> Yeah. >> So one of those lots is sold and the other one has a >> sold from the city. >> Yeah. From the city. Okay.
>> And I only learned that because wasn't cut until he said that's a city own lot. You got to cut it. So we started cutting. But yeah. So you know >> Yeah. around 2012 built in 2011 before we built the water treatment plant. There were actually
some discussions of moving the old duck in duck out structure >> that yeah that was right when I got on and me and Butchie had went to go look at it and >> I've only been there once the day of my life and then like a week later it shut down like when I moved there but >> I was to look at Butchie and Butchie
look I said there's no way this thing is making it. Yeah, that's the car we came up to move pieces. >> And then it was >> move next to the White House behind the concession stand. They had that little land. We were going to build >> Yeah. >> a little we were going to build a little
like community, not a community center, but like a little like meeting area and stuff like that. And >> the the rule was that if we build it and we stay within the setbacks that, you know, Pine Land was give us a portion of that for parking and all that stuff. And
then um plans were handed over and it just kind of disappeared. >> Yeah. And Gary cleaned that all out too. >> Yeah. Gary and Chris Hall came with his um cleaning all the trees and everything like that. So I guess >> can't be brought up. >> You did bring up the expansion of the
concession stand and the pad for the sides, right? >> Yeah. We talked through those too and um you know what's going to be required for storm management that so Ronda did give us some good direction on how it proceeds. But yeah, it's definitely worthwhile
bringing her out here. Um, last two things that are ground for redevelopment areas. We um working with Jeff on trying to advance the landfill stuff. You want to talk about that now? >> Either now or when the resolution comes up if it's
>> up to you. >> We It's up to you. You want to do it now? Yeah. >> Yeah. We have the application together and we provide that. Head on up. >> Yeah. So, this is Brian Amelius. Brian is going to be the LSR police for the land
project. We met with Ryan's team the other day about they'll be the engineer and doing some surveying work and also probably some uh highland threat species and wetland work etc. So, um, and, uh, item number 17 on the resolution to
apply for the investigative grant, HDSRF. So, uh, if council approved that this evening, uh, and May gets us that resolution, we will, uh, and many signs in the three places on the application, we'll send that in pronto and and get that going. Uh we've actually had a
preliminary discussion with the uh DP um in the Brownfield's office both the HDSRF coordinator and landfill person and talked about the const of actually the medial action grant this year try to
get you know you got you're eligible for up to $5 million of grant per year of municipality. We want to try to get that in now because there's nothing else in this year. So, uh, we'll try to get that on next meeting agenda so we can get that in even though it'll it'll be a
rough engineering estimate that are fine getting that in reviewing that and allocating those funds and then you'll have another uh availability next year or polish it up in the subsequent year once we get the investigation finished. So, um, on a personal note, if there's
any questions over the next couple of weeks, I'm having knee surgery on Tuesday. I'll give all my contact information to Jerry and Ryan and and and everybody. So, Brian will be taking the lead on on on getting this u, but the DP has been
very cooperative. They're ready to get moving. Everybody understands that we want to try to get the urgency here because of the ITC issues with solar. So, >> and the timeline looks pretty good yet? >> Yes. >> So, that we got a hustle, but yeah, looks like we're trying to set up Hey,
we're trying to set up a BBA meeting. >> Yeah, we are. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think after November 5th, but Joe said you're not going to be here November 5th, right? >> Okay. >> I asked Ron that question. Uh, and Ronowski, he's bringing Eric in uh to
kind of run that. He's got more responsibility since Frank retired. So, uh, we work with her on another BDA. So, >> is it critical that we do it like right away? Because I would really >> me. >> Yeah. >> Steering committee. >> I think his applications are more critical than anything else. >> Yeah.
>> I think we got to get them in in the queue. >> Yeah. And then we can eat our certif >> because I'd rather wait till uh Joe gets back. When are you getting back? >> The tip. >> Okay. So, we can push it off. >> Make sure you have a respon.
>> Yes. You can't sleep in bed. >> They should have opted for him instead. Potato puff's the worst thing ever. >> Okay. Anybody have any questions for Jeff? >> Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Appreciate Brian.
>> Master Plant. Is that the last name? Yeah, we're still working on recommendations up, but um >> Okay. >> Yeah, we can still like to try to close out it. >> Uh but yeah, that's that's really I did make some revisions of Philadelphia Avenue projects. Um the county ran into
some finance per shocker. I know. Um so they're not going to be bidding their project to start in January. They're trying to keep it on track as much as possible, but February, March looks more realistic in this. So, >> and you you got you saw the email. They just started the test porings.
>> No, >> like literally it was supposed to be started two weeks ago, maybe more. >> Yeah, they they got they did get their permit out from talking to county sales, >> but yeah, they're uh doing something.
>> It's the latest on the studio. >> Um I haven't heard anything since he submitted to finance commission. It's possible he hasn't gotten the thoughts yet. They weren't on the 1010 meeting. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, they weren't on the 10 meeting. I
think maybe Jonathan thought he was going to be on it, but he's not on. >> They made it sound like it was imminent when we were at the pilot. >> I looked at the agenda and wasn't. >> Okay. Anything else, Ryan? >> I'm sorry. Can I have one more question
for Brian? Um, how are things going out at the industrial park with the cannabis property out there? I see that they're working at this point. >> Yeah, he started engine clearing. He got me um all the estimates so we can put together the inspection escro and bonding and all that stuff. Um he didn't
realize he had to do that. He called me. He's like, "Oh, we're going to start clearing tomorrow." So, that's cool. There's a lot of other stuff. He's supposed to be first. So, we're working with him and just, you know, let him It's going to be a long process for him, I can tell. But >> which one's um >> industrial park
>> next to Cisco? I guess uh Charles is the um Jersey Grunt maybe. >> No, I think it is 30. >> Yeah, Jean Charles the individual. I can't remember. >> Oh yeah, you're right.
>> Raymond. >> Uh yeah, Jess Holdings. That's right. >> Jess Holdings. because I say they have a whole hole dug and everything out there. You know, they have all kind of equipment out there at this point. >> Start with their storm management old site site. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And and I do have one other question. Well, I see that Euro they just redid that whole property. It really looks nice out there. They did a very nice job with it. I just wanted to mention out in the industrial park as well. I didn't realize they were >> they were revamping that. >> They did put a lot of money into that.
>> What do you guys suspect is the new ownership move now months ago. um before they finalize the transaction just to talk about what what they could expect if they purchase the property. >> Yeah. I I expected Joe will indicate they'll be a good
amount of >> Yeah. Looks it looks very good. >> Can I ask Ryan a couple go ahead real quick? Did you ever email me that because I didn't get it if you did. >> Yeah. >> Oh, good. Okay. I just want to make sure I'm getting your emails because they've
been very scarce lately. >> And um the I heard you mention the te technical assistance program. That's TAP, right? Is that what it's now? >> Is that tap? >> Okay. >> Um they have it. It's not the federal. >> It's not the federal Okay, good. Because I was going to ask you if that's going
to significantly delay the program. >> No. Okay. >> This is money that I bank um already has. >> Okay. All right. That's good news. >> Yes. Awesome. Um, you know, bring the local impact. >> No, >> that's fine. We we talked about that at

it's a um five mile perimeter for a company to set up as a proper city as opposed to having a physical location at all the city. One was 10 miles, one was zero miles. We went to five miles. >> Okay. >> So can I just ask something? There were two different towing companies, right?
Just like we have now. That's more >> but when we reviewed it when Marcel and I reviewed it and everything was was good except for these two um provisions that were in conflict. So we had >> just a housekeeping issue. >> Yeah. It's a housekeep.
>> Okay. Um call >> yes. >> Dash. >> Yes. >> Die. >> Yes. >> Galloway. >> Yes. Heist. >> Yes. >> Paty. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Timber. Right. >> Yes. Okay. Ordinance is introduced.
Uh number 21 and 22 I've been told are not necessary. Could you explain please? >> Yeah. Um so we have um a couple ordinances that when more than one um purpose kind of break out on the ordinance how much for each
purpose? So the total isn't changing just the breakout between the ordinances. Like for example, we want to use more for a road program than let's say purchase of computers or something. So anyway, when we awarded to Buffalo Avenue, we want to use more of um the
road improvements of what's left in the ordinance. But because we fully funded them, we don't need to formally amend the ordinance. Um that was fine, council. I did talk to the auditor. They said when we do our budget transfers, if we want, we could just kind of add that in just to make sure council kind of has
the formal, you know, so that way it's kind of documented. to only do a budget transfers in November. I'll just add like a section for that as well so we know where the money is moving. >> It should just be full. >> All right. Number 23 on the agenda is
the bill list. Pay the bills. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion made second. >> Questions, please. >> Clark, >> yes. >> Dash, >> yes. >> Doy, >> yes. >> Galloway, >> yes. >> Heist, >> yes. >> Hessie, >> yes. >> Kenir, >> yes. >> Timbers,

there and what they are and are not collecting here. If you want one, I have 20 of them. Just see me after meeting and I'll give you one. So, I hope you can I hope we go support this. It's really a great um endeavor taken on by
the American Legion. That's all I have. >> Excuse me. I just have one question. Would you like me to take the the box down in city hall here? >> No. >> Because you sure it's kind of counterproductive. Would you think? >> Different stuff. >> Is it different?
>> Okay. It's not codes. >> Well, it could be, but it doesn't have to be. Okay. >> Seems like it's mostly clothes and >> shoes, right? Thank you. Thanks. >> Let's start on this Amy. Councilwoman Clark. >> Uh just two things. Uh both with the

Thank you. >> Thank you, Councilman Dovy. >> I have nothing. Councilman Timmers. >> I want to give a shout out to Jojo Bermudez. He graduated from Cedar Creek about three years ago and I just found out that uh he's, you know, he's had a
bit of a problem adjusting to college. He's uh recently transferred to Temple University. He's playing for the football team and uh scored a couple touchdowns. He's doing pretty well for the last three years. Yeah. So, I want to uh give a shout out to them.
It's your line, huh? >> That's usually your line of the game is Navy. >> All I have to say is I hope I see everyone out at the Halloween parade on Friday the 24th 6:30 is step off. That's all I have. Have a great weekend everyone.
>> Thank you. Councilwoman Galloway. >> Um I um wanted to make a suggestion. We discussed it I think at the last meeting or the meeting before that a woman had come here complaining about it's difficult to get across Philadelphia Avenue
>> and I like to suggest that we get flashing pedestrian light um in each direction on on that intersection there that could be activated by pushing a button. >> It is a county road so we might have to >> go to the count Oh yeah that's an idea.
Maybe we should ask the county for a shared service for that. We have connections, right? >> Yeah, I'm burning I'm burning a lot of favors. But >> problem >> because it is I mean it's difficult for me to get across the street and I'm
going to be behind our >> 30 and 50. >> That's a controlled intersectionality. >> That already is. >> Yeah. Just in front of Britenberg Manor. >> Okay. Where the where the uh seniors are. >> Okay.
and uh wanted to wish all the candidates running in this year's election good luck on November 4th and encourage all residents to get out and cast their ballots for their favorites. And um please anybody has anything for
the newsletter, get it to me early because I'm really really busy at work. So I'd like to start it soon. That's all. >> Thank you, Councilman Wright. Councilman pretty much touched on everything that's coming up. Um
far as uh Councilman Timbers was talking about with Jojo, um he was actually down on our field two weeks ago. Um he's going to be the next one that you're going to be seeing his name announced on the NFL. Um he did two years at Delaware where he
had over 700 and some yards receiving a couple touchdowns. He um decided to transfer to Temple for coaching reasons. um coach moves. So he went with the coach. Um for those that don't know, I think he hadund and some probably I think it was 97 yards and a touchdown at
the link against Navy last week. It was televised. Um so like I said, there's another one that's um hopefully in up and coming um see on the uh NFL. You know, it was a good scene. I mean watching, you know, a lot of people were
at the link. you know, it was probably a full crowd and, you know, that's he's a diehard Eagles fan, so for him to be able to play on that field was a probably a dream come true to him. So, it's good to see, you know, >> all your hard work has paid off, Mason. Thank you. >> That's like my second kid. I pretty much
raised him since he was two years old, huh? >> What a great feeder program you had. >> Well, yeah. Well, it starts at us and, you know, of course, Cedar Greek continues it and then, you know, they go on from there. So it's just, you know, it takes an army, but you know, >> so >> so we'll shall see.
>> It's a story. >> Anything else? >> Thank you. Uh the only thing I want to say is what has been said here already. Everyone have a safe and Halloween safe trick or treat. So and um now we'll open
it up to the public. Anyone in the public wish to be heard? Anyone else? I seeing none. We have a motion to adjurnn. So moved. Motion made.
