Um we're very appreciative. I think we're done. Are we done Chris with the renovation for the next meeting? >> We are. >> So we will be back um in mun in the municipal building for our next meeting. Uh however, you know, we this is sort of
uh become a tradition here now coming to the firehouse every year. Um we think we have a fantastic relationship uh partnership with your department and uh we were talking before the meeting how excited we're there. >> Yes, I'm sure that that's going to start
taking up a lot of time here. Anything we can do to help, please let us. >> That's great. I mean, I appreciate you guys all coming here. It's uh it's amazing to host you guys. I think like you said, we have a great partnership. Uh, today I want to really just educate the public on the fire company. I think
many know how we operate uh but might not have know all the the details uh and you know everyone throws around that hey we're 100% volunteer but there's a lot of partnership that I want to highlight. Uh >> that's perfect.
>> Um we got a long history. The fire company has evolved uh over the years. You know, we have Sure. Yeah, definitely. We have, you know, obviously the fire department, first aid, fire police, auxiliary, water rescue.
We have a lot of operations going on, but I always try to simplify it. So, what do we do here? It's it's very simple. We protect life, preserve property. That's that's the main goal. Everything we do here is around that goal. Whether it's fundraising, whether
it's uh administrative work, whether it's, you know, all the training, it's so we can do those two things better. Protect life and preserve property. Now, from a fire side, what does that mean? There's so many different calls. We have structure fires, we have MBAs,
motor vehicle accidents, we had vehicle fires. We have hazardous conditions, which make up the majority of our faults. carbon monoxide, COS, gas, uh, and other other conditions that, uh, you know, we're checking out for homeowners. We're, uh, you know, different types of
rescue, ice rescues. We have medevac operations, uh, assisting first aid when there's a critical incident. Uh, we average about 180 calls in this town. That includes our mutual aid. So, we don't just respond to Fair Haven, we actually respond to all our neighboring
towns. We uh, through the counties, we have a mutual aid response plan. They call it MARK. and they help us in need and we help them in need. We average about 1,700 man hours uh a year. Um and that that doesn't include all the meetings and the training. Um but uh it
is an immense amount of work. Now people always ask a lot of hours, there's a lot of different calls. How do you guys manage? I think one of the most common questions I get is do you guys have shifts? You know, at at my office, they always ask like, "How do you do this? How do you juggle?" It's pretty
simple. We we commitment and service. We ask our members, if you're available and you're home, respond. Doesn't matter if it's the middle of the night, doesn't matter if it's a holiday, doesn't matter if it's your daughter's birthday, you get you go. You drop what you're doing and you respond. Uh, and all of our
members do it time and time again. It's it's an amazing uh effort. You know, one of the uh KPIs that we use as a officer is how many times do we need to go mutual aid? It's one thing to call mutual aid when you have a critical incident and it's escalating, but there's a it's another thing to have to
call mutual aid if you just didn't get a response. If for some reason middle of the day, everyone's at work, everyone's out of town, and there isn't a call, then we go mutual aid, and we don't have it. It's uh I think we've had one mutual aid response in like the last three years and we eventually had a truck
there as well. Now we don't do this by ourselves. We have great partnerships with the burial with PD. I don't think everyone knows that PD they're on the scene for every call. They're the first ones there. If it's a a prostate call, it's a fire,
they're already giving emergency service response, giving care. In some case they're already putting out the fire. uh we have a great partnership with them and they do an amazing job and if it's stop for them like they're they're helping us every step of the way and then same thing with the burrow the
burrow you know we're 100% voluntary people think I can they hear that like oh you guys operate completely independently from the burrow and that's not the case we the burrow gives us the authority to operate they also give us operational budget to be able to you
know for training equipment you see some of it back there but it's an immense amount of tools testing our equipment, you know, training all our members, it it's it all adds up a lot. And then all the trucks, and I I don't think people understand how, you know, partner with the burrow trip when it comes to our
vehicles and our fleet. All of our uh engines are burrow vehicles. The burrow purchase those vehicles. Now, when it comes to the officer cars, the firehouse purchases those, but then we hand it over to the burrow because they maintain our vehicles, they repair our vehicles
all through DPW. So, it's a great partnership and obviously work very close with everyone to make sure that, you know, we're properly funded. Uh, and then obviously on a new truck as well. We are in the market for a new truck. Uh, we're working with the burrow and Chris and everyone to get that specked
out and start the process there. So, obviously your support there is is major. One of our trucks is getting repaired and you guys have been amazing stepping up to help us there. Now, some of that funding that the bureau, you know, gives us, we we applied to training. Training doesn't
come for free. We go to the academy. Sometimes we get live burns. All you can see some of our schedule from this year. Uh we cover everything. We have to train. We have to make sure our members are certified. We got to make sure our members have repetition to ensure that when the response is real that they're
able to respond. Equipment testing. So, aside from like preventative maintenance, uh you know, oil changes and transmission fluids, our engines require special testing, special service, uh specific around the firematics, uh pumps, ladder hose
testing. We have to make sure everything's going to work when we go to a incident. And that all costs money as well. And we get that through our operational budget through the bureau. Now, I mentioned, you know, the fire company has grown over the years and we
it's not just fire department anymore. We our first aid, they almost triple our calls. You know, we're 180, they're close to 500 calls. And I I give a lot of respect to our first aid members, not just because they have more response, but one thing I always say to members is
there's no such thing as a false alarm at a first a call. Someone's injured, someone needs care, they're responding for, you know, fire, you know, false alarms, bad batteries in a detector. Uh they do an amazing job. They spend countless hours training to make sure
they're up standard on all their certifications. We have EMTs and EMRs uh across the uh squad. They do an amazing job. We also have a water rescue. Now, we're very blessed in this town to have access to the Navast and Shberry River, the
ocean. I mean, it's, you know, the beaches are amazing, but with that, you know, comes a lot of marine and water rescue. We partner with all of our towns. We partner with the Coast Guard, uh, New Jersey State Police. Anytime there's an incident, we're getting called out most likely, and we're it's a
mutual aid response. We've had everything from accidents, medical uh issues, drownings, ice rescues, and you know, they come in a lot of different forms. And our water rescue team spends a lot of hours not only preparing the boat, but training. They actually
partnered with Sebrite the other night to do a swift water rescue at 9:00 p.m. in the dark. It was a a very high risk operation, but they wanted to train for it because where they conducted it is a very hazard part of uh the river.
Fire police. Who protects the firefighters and first aid? Fire police. A lot of people get them confused with PD, but it's the fire police. They are the ones ensuring that roads are blocked off, uh hazardous areas are taped off, they're ensuring that we can operate in
a safe uh environment. I ask the public, if you end up rolling up on a fireplace and they turn you around or they reroute you down, please be kind. They're not trying to make your life difficult. They're actually trying to protect you from going into a hazardous situation and they're ensuring that the, you know,
first responders are all uh safe. The other uh organization that many people may not know about is our Auxiliary. Auxiliary has been around for a long time in this fire department supplementing our our fire company and a lot of operations. They used to actually
go on scene and help with rehab and help with uh servicing, you know, different uh needs for the firefighters during long operations. That's shifted. Um now it's more administrative support. Uh they help out with fundraising improvement. And you know, I think one
of the biggest uh if we do have a massive uh incident, we have cover signs. Part of that mutual aid response plan is while we're operating like the Fair Haven Road fire, we need someone at our firehouse in case there's a second call. So we have other departments that will actually come here station and then
wait for another call that might occur. Uh and our auxiliary helps ensure that they're accommodated during that time. You know the last thing I want to mention is community. You know the fire department's number one goal and our mission is protecting life and
preserving property. But we're also very much a part of this community whether it's Memorial Day, baseball parade, Halloween, um Santa at the park, obviously the fair, you know, we we're very much involved in the community. And one way the community can help us is our
big fund raising event. It's uh you know, our the largest fireman fair in the state. It's our primary fundraiser. Uh so we you know at all the funds go to maintaining this building, buying additional equipment that might not be part of the burough operational budget
and then maintaining these grounds and it's you can imagine everything's expensive and this is how we raise funds to ensure that we can continue to operate. So I ask everyone to come out enjoy the fair. Uh and then if you want to also you know help out this organization we're always looking for
new volunteers. Uh we it's all in-house training. Uh, we'll send you out for certification, no cost. We'll give you all the equipment and all we ask is your time and commitment. Thank you guys for this. >> Hey, I had one question. Is there mutual
aid for the water rescue stuff? I saw you wrote between Navisync and Shrewberry River. Obviously, I don't think we're on the Shrewsbury River, but do we do we go over to the Shrewberry River different operations that might call for us? We may not send our Marine 13, but we have other boats, smaller
John boats that we, you know, could potentially launch and drive over. Uh, yes. So, the mutual aid response is something that, uh, we continuously work with county and then other agencies on when they call it. Uh, it's, you know, it's always a work in progress, uh, on
how we refine it. You know, usually if there's some type of victim, they're calling everyone. It's easy to turn people around. Um if there's other type of operations, they might try to isolate it and to just depending, you know, like if you're on the Navync and it happens in front of Fair Haven, we're usually
called. Uh but there's times when it's not. You can have a boater, you know, passing by. We've actually had that a boat was uh smoking and Redbank was first called, but it ended up being more in fair. We got dispatched as well and we both coordinated and then we did
search areas until we found them. and and when there's a call, you know, there's fire called your team comes here first. What happens? >> That's a great question. Um, so we that's it's a different protocol than fire. So, we actually have a water rescue team that trains uh under different guidelines uh than let's say a
fire. So, we have personnel that will go straight to the uh yachtwoods and respond directly to the boat. So our all of our certified drivers and uh will go and respond to the boat along with two EMS. So you got to be certified to be
able to give care in case there is a victim. Uh the rest of the department will respond here, grab equipment, grab additional and then go to the scene or actually go to the yacht works. >> Um you mentioned volunteers, right? And opportunities to volunteer back when we
met I think in January. You had mentioned I think it was um first aid was the biggest in need of of volunteers. Is that still the biggest need between >> you know I think it's es and flow. Uh all departments need new members. I I do think first aid they have the most
calls. Uh they they've been doing an amazing job ensuring that they get get a truck or get a uh you know response out of their uh department. But yeah I you know if someone wants to join first aid I would I would definitely recommend that they can do both. We have a lot of
members who sign up for fire who then end up becoming first aid as well. Uh and they can respond as they need. Now how they manage that with their time, personal time is uh it's difficult but uh we we do have members that join multiple departments within the
firehouse. >> Just one chief. I remember thank you so much. This is fantastic. And one thing that stuck with me last year, if you could just keep me accurate in what I'm saying, the the I I think one of the most um easiest ways to understand is the minute that that pager goes off,
right? The the volunteers become employees, right? In a sense of covered by insurance, right? All those different pieces. >> And then, you know, everything inside the house, the actual equipment that you're using, right, is what the the operating budget supports and whatnot.
Um, and then the other thing that stuck with me last year, and if you could just confirm, right, is that that the partnership between the burrow and the the firehouse runs deep. I think there's it's like a hundred-year agreement, right, in place between us, if if memory serves me correctly. >> Yeah. So, there's a like at least So,
the the burrow gives us the authority to operate here, but then the fire department also, you know, has an agreement with the burrow to be able to store the burial trucks here and for us to operate uh a fire department on this building uh which is private, you know. Uh, so yeah, there's
there's a long-term agreement on that. The exact details, I don't know, but I think it was a a $1 lease. >> Yeah, I just think it's a good day to point that out. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you guys. >> Thank you. Move along to uh public comment on
agenda items only. Please reserve a threem minute time limit. Uh please state your name and address clearly for the record. Um anyone with a public comment on agenda items only? >> No. >> Thank you. All right. Uh, moving along.

>> Okay. Um Alison, please have a roll call. Motion. Okay. Do I have a second? All right. Alison, I have a roll call. >> Um >> then we're not doing the motion.
>> Second discussion or how you want. >> Let's do discussion before motion second. We could change someone's mind that's making a motion. that substant does this resolution for the additional funding take it to the completion of the project. Um
so just to give you an idea on this um effective July 31st that'll be the end of the contract with grammar. So there'll be no more bill that will come after that fact. So that should not that
you know some of some of the delay on obviously landscaping and professional scientist made the project a little bit longer which obviously encourage the architect carry them. So but this July is the last month that works project.
>> Thank you. I'll make a motion to >> Alison. I please have a roll call. Council members Cole, >> yes. >> Dimelli, >> yes. >> Hoey, >> yes. >> Hot, >> no. >> Barbarara, >> Olson, >> yes. Thank you. Department reports June
2025, Municipal Court, Police Department. Is there anyone positive with a motion accepted? Thank you. >> Motion second. Oh, is anyone all in favor with the most
>> I don't have any? >> Everyone's in favor. Anyone? >> Okay, thank you. Uh, we have reached the good of the burrow portion of the meeting. Um, before I ask any of the public, is there anyone up here that has been burrowed?
>> Um, two quick things. I think everyone's probably aware National Night Out is coming up on August 5th. and um like to acknowledge our chief the five department. I'm looking forward to the 6 p.m. new community center. Is there anything you want to add? >> Uh like I said, the parking lot's done.
So we'll be in our parking lot. We'll open up headquart. So thank you. >> Great. Um and then the only other for some of you I'm the lean for this preservation commission. They forward a memorandum to the governing body.
has seen it and um they're aware that West work is continuing and that there'll be some improvements to the building um which is fully in supportive and excited about and there's some special attention to the exterior paint
and much needed work on preparing it color and their memorandum is really a note to say if I were here we would like to provide advisory comment and recommendation paint Um and specifically they would like the
council to know that they would suggest and I believe it's already practiced and considered that part of the deal that um that the professionals were in place to guide the burrows turned into a paint specialist which is somebody who would
look at the original paint that's probably in layers and layers and layers who knows how many on that building. um and give the proper professionals to guys. That's that's the message from the future. >> Thank you. Anyone else want to go to the
bur? I had one for just today. Continued um super momentous day today. Um just want to respond facilities real quick. Um gates were installed as of today and marked the u completion of of the last
significant item. There's a there's a couple small odds and ends that have to get resolved. Um, but you know, we'll be looking to do a ribbon cutting ceremony at DPW. Uh, the recycling center, which is new and approved, cardboard, um, e-waste, clothing, shoe donations,
and then, um, NY recycling will open up on August 1st. Uh, excuse me, Monday. >> No, August 1st. >> August. >> And Bets's working there five days a week. >> So, really, really exciting. I mean, it's been an unbelievable journey. Um,
and then, uh, just to piggy back off of PD National Night Out, uh, all closed off tomorrow, the the community center will have its co issue. Um, and we're going to look to also be able to show folks the community center in addition to PD. Uh, we're we're in the final
punch list items for both the PD and the community center. And then we're uh we're we're full steam ahead on the Fish Chapel parking lot. Um, so really exciting stuff. Um, and we'll be able to report it back. Uh, the cost avoidance, it was all in the tax letter, a little
less than 14 million, uh, compared to what the original design was, but the bur did a great job. Let's go. >> Uh, go to the burough the public. Yes. >> Well, I discovered that I >> name
and address. Uh, I discovered when I needed to borrow complain about not getting my paper copy of the newsletter that is no longer being sent out for financial.
However, there are people in town who don't do email who don't do somebody. Is there any way to still reach them without having
>> we have that? >> Yes. So um I can elaborate on it just just to give you an idea. Um the previous year um it was 10,000 the budget um which cost for mailing and printing uh the newsletter. Obviously you know cost gone up and we have to be you know good financial stewards of
taxpayer money. So um and we found a lot of people did respond to it through email or social media. That was the primary way for speed to get obviously this year would have been a little bit more obviously would increase in cost. What we did decide to do because we have in-house printing capabilities we have continued to print the newsletter out.
So somebody does want a printed copy of newsletter they come to hall. We'll print it out for you. We have them distributed at home. Anybody coming to get a copy of it too? And I did I did get a copy when I went into how
because it's important that everybody in town knows what's going on. Is there any way to mail that to the people who don't have internet? No. Um if somebody else >> if somebody did reach out and had a
hardship and they couldn't come in pick it up, roll out make sure to make an accommodation to them. But they would have to communicate that to us. The person that I got signed up last year wasn't even aware that there was any kind of a newsletter, which is why I
never signed up for a hard >> now. I don't I'm signed up for everything. So, I get email and online and as a matter of fact, I'll have to check out Instagram. Make sure that you look at my Instagram account. I'm
posting a lot of my >> Wow. So, >> well, let us know your Instagram handle. >> Yeah, but if um if you're aware of anybody who doesn't have the ability to come to Burl Hall, pick up a copy and um you think they need to tell them that
they need to get into >> or you know what, since you have access to computer, if you want to send me their email, I'll make sure that >> they don't have >> No, no, no. You have an email. Yeah, you can email me their address. If they can't come to >> we we we all started considering a
program where attorney so you can book a time and he comes and he reads the letter it's part of our contract sign >> right so like landline right call call in and require >> it's it's it's a valid point but it's
also something I think we we we struggle with it consistently over the years is how do we get more people signed up to any form of somebody isn't aware of what's going on. All you have to do is forget when they
recycling is back when it shouldn't be. You know, they don't know what's going on. >> Yeah. If somebody if somebody doesn't have access to email, doesn't have access to a computer, and is unable to come pick up a hard copy proc again, if they want to call me or they call, we'll make sure that
>> Yeah. But I want to do something on a front viewer basis. I I don't want to miss people who have been getting it because we didn't have a warning that it wasn't going to remain. >> It's it's a fair point. Perhaps we
should have sent out one more print and in the print we should have mentioned we're moving to a digital only model unless you make the request. number of organizations that I belong to have gone to online.
I understand because >> and one of the things we are not discontinuing we're still keeping the calendar. So the hard copy calendar will still be going out. We're not discontinuing that. >> Oh, and that's the thing you should think of. >> Yeah, I I agree. I I agree with you. I I
think the printed calendar can cause some issues because things do change. However, um you know the discussion that so I got to vote down on that. However, that that's another way you can get the information out to >> Yeah, but that's not till December.
>> Yeah, I think this is a real problem especially for the seniors. >> Hi, Katie Fur 126 Lexington. So, I'm surprised to hear that this is an issue because for every uh person that's lucky enough to know Susan, there's probably
30 more that don't have a Susan O'Brien that can remind them to um sign up. There used to be a opt out list. I think it had three 400 names on it. People that actually proactively had told the burrow, "We would prefer to have paper
copies." I know that because I would contact Betty Anne for that list when we did our own digital um for the news for the fire department and we were looking at costs and she gave me a few years ago a list of these are the people that said absolutely we would prefer paper because
that gave we could gauge who are the real off the grid people. Some of those were just, you know, people I just would rather get paper, but we know they're on email and and on Instagram and but some of them were legit off the grid, you
know, blackouts. So, um, if there's any way to resurface that list, it might not be as big as you think it is. It might be just a handful. Maybe I know the police department knows who that like the homebound people are, the senior citizens who are by themselves. Could be
the seniors club might know that. I know I'm theist here that I'm assuming that it may be some of the older people that don't have that, but there might be an opportunity to have like your product. >> Absolutely. We're going to look at I just want to mention he mentioned the financial side that wasn't it. There was an environmental side as well
in >> um so there were a few reasons we did it, but we hear you loudly. We're we're going to see if there's another solution to at least communicate everyone knows that it's available. >> Hi Joanne Stein 11ers Drive Haven. Um
I'm here because I'm trying to find some sort of a better solution to the dog problem in Fair Haven Fields. Um, I have um had an altercation which really became very uncomfortable when my dog
was approached by a couple of loose animals. My dog got very frightened. I've asked people to please put their dog on leash just until I leave the area and they refuse. It's an ongoing problem. I've been told to call the police department, which I've done and
they've been very receptive, but it's an ongoing problem. So, it gets to the point where I pull into the fields to walk my dog and I can't get out of my car until I call the police to see if they'll come and get the people off the field. >> It was made even more uncomfortable a
couple weeks ago when I tried to be part of the community. I went tried to go in, people were knocking. This gentleman told me he was there at 6:30 every day with his dogs. Refused to put dogs on leash. It wasn't going to happen. and I should come later. All of
these other things which I I tried to abide by, but when I work, I have to go at 6:30. But one gentleman approached me when I was walking my dog and stopped in the middle of the pathway. Um, basically was threatening, called me a Karen. Why do I
call the police? Maybe if I let my dog off leash, I would be happier. My dog would be happier. Um, and I tried to go around him to go back to my car and he continued following me and basically said to me, "Well, what are you going to go home now and poison the well?" And I have not been back to the field since
then. It's very, very uncomfortable. And I know that there's signs everywhere, but this group of people seriously said to me, "It's not going to happen. We're here every day at 6:30, and you just have to figure out when to come at another time."
I actually thought about going there without my dog one morning and trying to say to them, listen, we're all part of the community here. Can you at least put your dog on a leash when you see me coming? Because my dog is a little anxious and I try and keep everybody
safe. Um, and I thought to myself, >> I'm going to stop you. First of all, thank you for the comments. I don't want I almost hear you giving excuses about your own dog, which you don't have to do. There's an ordinance that the dogs have to be on the leash. Full stop.
That's our ordinance. Um, have you, you know, I don't want to get into your individual incidents, but I think you should connect with the uh people after the meeting, provided the information. Certainly sounds like there was some harassment involved as well. That's not going to be tolerated a fair even as far
as the council's concerned. I mean, if there's an additional suggestion that the chief has after speaking with you, I'm sure public provided to us and we can discuss it to see if we think it's what's right for the community. Um, but right now there is an ordinance that's already said that dictates that they do
have to be an I'm not sure there's much for us to do unless there's more information that we hear. Um, again, I would connect with uh the chief of police, make sure he has all the detailed information. Um, there are cameras out of fields, too. depending on not going to get into cherry to the
field or under under uh you know surveillance but possibly if you know the day and the time you might be able to figure out what's going on specifically on that day. So um you know your dog's anxiety it's not a problem if
they're >> so should I you know because now I'm going to start working again and I have to go again at 6:30 in the morning. I just avoided the area. Should I I'll speak to you. >> We'll get you time. We'll get somebody out there. >> Thank you. >> Thank you for that.
>> Yeah. I mean, you know, maybe a dog park. I don't know. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. I appreciate >> Is there anyone else with a good bur? >> No. >> Chief on the call report um
calls for one in a month or two. Was that mean when we talk about sorry animal related calls that dogs >> uh it could it could >> it could be a number of things that I don't have to break that but you sure I'm sure it's other
