Luke Mazio who is here with us Logan Mazio Mazio Anthony and the NJ district one and region one head coach of the year. It was a special year which we all we've
been you know going about this and uh each ceremony that we go about and uh it was something special that they have the memories forever and that's what we uh go about throughout my career and uh their career and all the you know the
careers ahead of uh the underassman as a few councilman's children and that's what we uh we coach for. It's about a team and uh if everybody buys into one team and your job and something special
happens and the memories are forever, enjoy the moment. That's what we went by and it was unbelievable. um the run that we had and it's something special that you know you can't get you I mean I just looked at Chase pinning and the kid from
uh from uh Pompton Lakes and it was uh just something special and uh it's something this is it's about a town it's about two towns and we call oursel the burrow so our new stuff is going to be the burrow EPR burrow and uh it's about
your town and hey you know something First of all, you missed 17 league championships. 17 years in a row without a loss. >> NJ as well as the state group one. >> So that's the streak and there's not
many of them that can say that. Maybe Paulsboro, but they're and Paul's uh they lost to Audabon who we beat at the uh down there in Audabon. And it was uh something that Miss Monahan can't even
that was crazy. It's thing that we uh spin around. You know that something that I've never seen and thanks to our assistant coaches where I can just turn back and say, "Hey, calm down." And our guys just sat down and uh enjoyed the
moment and until it was their turn. And Devin uh finished it off with a pin on that one. So it was two matches in a row where it came down to the end. It was the next man up and now that that's where you live by the moment and
if you enjoy every moment in life day by day, you know something good things are going to happen, you know, and we've been winning for a long time and you know it's the best program in town. I hate to say it, but we're still winning. >> And what is the infamous song everyone?
So the song that another special moment that we had is we had five girls that ran out to Bourne New Wild for the first time. It was it was a special moment and as a coach who's been doing this for many years to see their faces even
though they didn't wrestle but to see that the moment that they came out and the excitement that they had that they were part of something and the smiles on our face and that you know it's something that as you get older and uh you have the wisdom you'll you'll
understand what I'm talking about watching with a smile. >> Can you just tell us who the other three are? what their names are because they're the rest of the team or the girls want to say >> tell us who the other three girls are so we have the whole team >> Chase how about Chase will do it
>> Chase one's Chase's friend here >> Alvarez >> awesome that's the whole team >> that's the uh the other ones >> so that's something moving forward but we appreciate what I know you're a big
part of it and uh you always support us and uh that's that's what means a lot and uh to see what they what we had in town here with the home events and that the support and uh that's part of the memories. I mean, you you think about
the crowds that we had in the 80s and uh it was back and uh supporting each other, the basketball teams and you know, so it's special where they'll have that forever and uh they know that and that's what we want on every day that we
spoke about. You know, the memories that you're going to look up on a wall and you're going to see your, you know, tell your own children that you're on that that championship team. That's what it's about. That's what our team is about and that's what the schools are about is uh looking at the banners. Not about you, >> right?
>> It's about our team and it's about our towns. >> Michael, would you do me a favor and take a photo? Will the council come down and jump? >> If I just stand next to Pretty Boy Chase >> sit next to Chase. Can you get everyone

>> Yes. >> Excuse me. Councilwoman, >> yes. >> Very good. Now, before I ask for a motion to introduce the 2026 municipal budget, I want to thank everybody for their hard work to craft this budget, especially Lauren Rurer, our CFO, and
the finance committee, uh, Councilman Michael Timberman and Councilwoman Nicole Argenzia, as well as our, um, burrow administrator, Michael Carelli. Uh a lot of her hard work went into this. Um and the committee met several
times. Uh I lost count. We had Zoom meetings, we had phone meetings, we had in-person meetings. We met a lot. Um so the 2026 municipal budget focuses on improving burrow infrastructure as well as maintaining all current services. The
26 mi 2026 municipal tax increase is currently at $85, which amounts to $7 per month on the average assessed home at $449,575. That is a 1.9% tax increase over 2025. The public hearing and discussion on the
budget are scheduled for May 5th, 2026 at 7:30m. The burough auditor, Gary Higgins, and our CFO will both be in attendance to answer questions. The budget documents will be posted on the bureau's website tomorrow for anyone who would like to
review it, and we welcome you at the May 5th meeting when the budget hearing is discussed. May I have a motion to approve the resolution 1220-26, introduction of the 2026 municipal budget? >> So moved. >> Second. >> And a roll call, please.
>> Councilwoman Chelino, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Arzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Ellis, >> yes. >> Council President Rice, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Sers, >> yes. >> 60. >> Very good. Now we move to unfinished business, which there isn't none this
evening. We do have some new business. the building department fee adjustments as well as the FEMA building resilient infrastructure and communities funding opportunity for fiscal year 2024 and 2025. Michael, do you have updates and information on those topics for us?
>> Thank you, mayor. Uh yes. So, included in tonight's uh governing body packet, we have a packet from the uh burough's construction official. Uh the construction official as he does every year uh is reviewing and has reviewed
the building department fees uh related to building sub code fees, fire sub code, electrical sub code, plumbing among others. Uh so just to go over some uh key noteworthy items. Um within the
building sub code fee section uh the construction officials recommending increasing the new construction for additions per cubic foot of volume uh from 0.050 to uh 058.
Uh among many other fee adjustments. Uh we are looking at increasing the certificate of occupancy UCCC residential and non-residential fees from $150 to $175 and for the non-residential from $250 to
$300. Um you'll see within the packet there's minor increases from uh for every uh fee that uh for most of the fees that we charge. Uh specifically under section 4 fire protection sub code fees, uh we're
looking at increasing uh the flammable combustible liquid storage tank fees which uh seem to be uh within market trends. And then if you go to the last two pages within the packet, uh our chief financial officer and
construction official have provided our uniform construction code annual report which indicates uh for last year that our revenues were well below our expenditures within the building department. So, we are looking to adjust our fees to bring up
bring us up to market and also to most noteworthy covers uh within the building department. So, if anyone has any specific questions or concerns about a specific fee adjustment, uh we can certainly take it back to the construction official. Um
but otherwise, uh pending no objections, we'd like to prepare an ordinance for the April 21st council meeting. Does anybody have any comments or questions for our burough administrator? >> So when they go through this, they look at other towns also, not just basically
what we're bringing in and sending out, >> right? Typically, we survey the towns that that touch us as you would in land use uh >> type uh instances. And you know, this is the average that we found surrounding Emerson.
>> And a lot of these fees are to cover the costs of our inspectors as well as our um professionals that have to review plans and whatnot. >> Correct. And you will note there's there's no major increases. These are all very minor increases other than the you know the per cubic foot volume for
the new construction could could be, you know, a difference there. But everything else is very minor increases. >> Okay. >> Just keeping up with the times, >> right? >> Okay. Very good. So, if no one has any uh questions or comments, then you'll prepare that as an ordinance
um for our next meeting or the meeting after that? >> Yes. So, we'll prepare the ordinance for the April 21st council meeting. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. And the next item was the um >> You had two items on there, right? You can continue with that one. >> Thank you, mayor. Uh, so under new
business, we have the FEMA building resilient infrastructure and communities funding opportunity for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. This program is administered by the federal government through FEMA. Um, as we do every year,
we look at eligible projects. We did send this notice to the burough engineer. The item that I wanted to highlight is through the building resilient communities program. The municipalities that um may be more
eligible than others uh have to do with projects that surround repetitive loss and severe repetitive loss properties as prescribed by FEMA. So I am going to work with the burough engineer. Um, I did receive notice that Congressman
Gottheheimimer did not select us for funding for the West End drainage phase 2 improvements project. So, I am interested to see if that project for phase two um would be eligible through this program. However, again, you need
severe repetitive loss properties and we're talking about a localized storm water issue. I don't know that it would rise to the level of this program. Uh this more has to do with flood buyouts and elevations. I don't know that we're typically a community for that uh per se as some others may be, but we we're
soliciting any suggestions or feedback at this time. >> We definitely have at least three houses that are constantly flooded when there are the hundred-year storms. So maybe we could talk about that. >> Okay. Does anyone have any other suggestions or projects that come to
mind? Um otherwise, we'll work with the burough engineer. I think we're good. Anybody? >> We'll report back. >> Okay. All right. That brings us to uh Thank you, Michael. That brings us to adoption of ordinances, of which there are none this evening. Um and now we
have introduction of ordinances. Miss D. Simone will announce by number and title the following ordinance upon approval. These ordinances will be further considered at a public hearing to be held on April 21st, 2026 at 2 uh 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter
can be addressed in council chambers of the burough hall, one municipal place, Emerson, New Jersey as of March 1st, 2026. All ordinances will be noticed on the bureau's website on the public notices page as required by uh PL 2025
chapter 72 and they are also on file in the office of the municipal clerk. Miss D Simone, would you please read the title of ordinance 1715-26? >> Um Burrow of Emerson, Burton County, New Jersey calendar year 2026 ordinance to
exceed the municipal budget app. and to establish a cat bank NJSA4A 4-45.14. >> Okay, there was one typo on this. Um, it is the basketball for prek to first
grade should be $80 to 115. Um, >> that's the next >> Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. So, may I have a motion to introduce uh ordinance number 1715-26?
>> Roll call, please. >> Councilwoman Gelino, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Ardenzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Ellen, >> yes. >> Council President Rice, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Sers, >> yes. >> 6. >> Okay. Um, so before you read that title,

vendor MRC Recreation to resume discussions regarding the Acriman Park phase 1 improvements project. The project uh will be completed in phases. Phase one will focus on the replacement and installation of a new playground area, while phase two will include the
installation of a new pavilion gazebo, a turf play area for younger children, and repairs to the existing swing sets. The team is aiming to install the new playground equipment later this year, contingent upon securing funding for the
local match through the NJDCA's local recreation improvement program. Additionally, a public hearing for the FY2026 Bergen County Open Space Trust Fund will be held at the April 21st, 2026 Burough Council meeting beginning
at 7:30 p.m. where we will invite public comment on the proposed project uh through the again the Bergen County Open Space Trust Fund. So, we're looking forward to that and more to come on that project. I am also making progress with
the burrow's vendor regarding the replacement of the digital sign in the downtown area. Uh Perry and I have retained an electrical contractor to begin the process of the installation. So there is a 4 to six week lead time on
the unit, but we are making progress on that. So we're happy about that. I don't believe the mayor mentioned it, uh, but I recently attended a successful bee educational program hosted by the Emerson Environmental Commission and just wanted to thank all the volunteers,
the mayor, uh, Councilwoman Chelino for, uh, you know, and everyone else for organizing a great event for the community. And again, as the mayor indicated, uh, the final adoption of the budget is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5th, 2026. and just wanted to highlight
that we have a new budget presentation to the public uh at which we'll present the PowerPoint presentation uh which will be available live on YouTube and posted on the website. So we invite everyone to attend and further comment. Thank you, Mayor.
>> You're welcome. And we were both remiss on one piece of information that we didn't share. I want to congratulate the Emerson Police Department. They were named the second safest city in the United States in Safewise's 12th annual safest cities report. Um there is an
article online. We posted it on the burough website if you'd like to read it. But out of a hundred cities, Emerson was considered the se uh second safest city. So congratulations to Chief Mike uh Mark Ceino and our police department.
Good job, guys. Okay. Um, that brings us to public comment. Members of the public are welcome to speak on any topic by coming to the podium and stating your name for the record. In the interest of time, speakers are limited to three
minutes in consideration of all who may wish to speak. Please keep your comments brief and concise. May I have a motion to open the meeting to public comment? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. We are now open to the public. Would anyone like wish to speak? Mr.
Oenau. >> Thank you, Robert Obnau. >> Good evening. >> Good evening, Mayor and Council. >> Welcome. >> I just want to start by saying that this mayor and council in particular has been very helpful to me over the past few years in working to get my projects
completed in a timely manner. And for that, I'm very grateful. I'm here tonight to speak about a solar project that I am trying to move forward with in Emerson at my service station and 7-Eleven property. I received word just a couple of hours ago from my contractor that my
application to install solar was denied and by reason. I understand the denial. I'm not um upset about that. Uh and that it would have to go before the land use board. Uh this is something that I must avoid in order for this project to remain viable. As we all know, the state
of New Jersey under Governor Mikey Cheryl has declared an energy emergency. As part of that, the governor has made it very clear like that projects like this need to be moved forward quickly. In her executive order, she specifically directs agencies to, and I quote,
prospectively and liberally wave compliance with rules or regulations to help expedite these energy projects. This is exactly the type of project that she is trying to encourage. My plan includes rooftop solar along with a solar canopy over the rear parking area
on the side of the building which is completely out of view. It is a low impact project and it will directly help reduce demand on the grid. Right now, my utility costs in Emerson are staggering $10,000 plus per month across my two properties. With recent federal changes
affecting solar incentives and the strict timelines now tied to those programs, there is a very limited window for this project to to move forward, which is why the governor uh the uh uh declared that emergency. If it gets delayed, it simply will not be viable. I
fully respect the process, but going through a full planning board application with attorneys, engineers, and hearings add significant time and cost. Time is something that I do not have and cost is something I can't really continue to absorb at this point.
Um, at the end of the day, this process uh could prevent this project from moving forward altogether and force me to make business changes. I am not asking for anything outside of the rules. I am simply asking for your help in applying the same urgency and flexibility that the state is calling
for under the governor's executive order and to help guide this in a way that allows it to move forward efficiently. My project is the exact kind of project that the state is trying to get done right now. I just need help getting it uh to the point where I can start construction.
>> Okay. Um you want to put solar panels on the top of your canopy and on the roof of the um restaurant. >> Uh no, be on the roof uh on the uh roof of the 7-Eleven apartment building. >> Okay. And uh on uh I guess beyond the side uh where there those five or six
spots uh there would be a parking canopy there uh just for solar. >> Did you uh put an application to our zoning official yet? >> Yes. Yeah, it was denied. I I understand that it needed to be denied, but uh I'm
just here because the governor has given some leeway so this project can move forward. It's We're almost out of time. Um I don't know if it's part of the big beautiful bill or whatever, but the solar subsidies have disappeared and my utility bills have doubled. So I'm re
I'm in a really tight spot. I'll be honest with you. At the restaurant alone, it's $5,000 a month for electric. It's >> What is the timeline that it has to be finished in order to >> uh there's there are different dates. There's um I believe everything has to be started by July and completed by
December or in or on the grid by December. >> All right. Can you give a call to our burough administrator and sit down with him and discuss this offline and then the governing body can consider it properly >> with all the with all the appropriate information? >> Okay.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you for coming this evening. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Anybody else? >> Okay. Seeing no other hands, may I have a motion to close the public portion of the meeting? >> All in favor? >> Any opposed? Okay, we are closed to the
public. Now we move to resolutions on consent. Um, may I have a motion to This is where it's always been. They're considered routine and will be enacted by one motion of the council and one roll call vote. Um, there's no separate
discussion on these items unless a council member requests an item be removed for consideration. May I have a motion to approve consent agenda resolutions 121-26 through 124-26? >> So moved.
>> Second. >> Roll call, please. >> Councilwoman Chino, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Arzia, >> yes. >> Councilman Ellis, >> yes. >> Council President Grace, >> yes. >> Councilman Timberman, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Sers, >> yes. >> Pass is 6. >> Very good. Um may I now have a motion to
