>> Sorry, I just hate people seeing my stomach when I um this meeting is called pursuant to the provisions of the open public meetings law. This meeting of February 23, 2026 was included in a list of meetings notice sent to the Courier News
on Burough Hall, I'm sorry, on January 5th, 2026, posted on the bulletin board of Burough Hall on that date and has remained continuously posted as required. In addition, a copy of this notice is and has been available to the public and is on file at the office of the burough clerk. Can I have a roll
call, please, Carla? >> Or uh Councilman Aras >> here. >> Councilwoman uh Council Vice President Angelhart. here. >> Uh, Councilwoman Fara, is she here? I just saw her. >> She's here. >> She's waving.
>> You're muted, Counciloman. >> Okay. Councilwoman Herbert, is she here? I don't see her. >> He's here. >> She's muted. >> Why don't I see anybody? Okay. Um, Councilman Park uh Levit >> here.
>> And Council President Parker is absent. and Mayor Cara >> here. >> Okay, >> thank you. >> Uh, okay. So, first on the agenda, we have Terry Vote, our municipal engineer of record from Remington Vernick. Uh,
joining us to discuss the MS4 watershed inventory plan report and the changes that the state of New Jersey is requiring. Here is my surprise face, Terry. Um, go ahead. >> Thank you, mayor. Um I prepared a fact
sheet uh which I believe I had sent the burrow last month uh talking about this. Um the wershed watershed inventory report is a requirement under all municipalities municipal separate storm sewer system
permit. Um every town is supposedly doing these. we had to file uh a a draft report prior to January 1st as well as storm water infrastructure mapping which we finished late last year. Uh I'm going
to read the fact sheet into the record. Um this is supposed to be the first of two public hearings. The second one will will will be midyear. Uh the permit requires that we notify the public uh of
this program uh and then solicit any questions that anybody might have. So here goes. Um, Flemington Burough and all New Jersey municipalities are permitted to manage and treat municipal storm water uh, under the MS4 program
uh, including but not limited to to storm water design, collection, treatment, infrastructure and maintenance activities required per the MS4 permit. To meet the permanent obligations, Flemington and all municipalities were required to prepare
and file an MS4 watershed inventory report with the NJP. An interimm draft of the phase 1 assessment report was completed for Flemington Burough and filed prior to the January 1st, 2026
regulatory deadline. A copy of of this report is available on Flemington Burough Stormwater webpage. Uh I'm not going to read this ridiculously long URL into the record. Uh if anyone wants to
find the report, uh you can simply go on any search engine and type in Flemington Burough Stormwater and it will take you to the Burough Stormwater web page. The current draft report will be modified to include additional storm
water infrastructure data also obtained for Flemington Burough and review comments and input from the NJDAP Flemington Burough staff and the public. As part of the permit process, two semiannual public meetings are required
to make the public aware and to solicit questions or comments regarding the WIP plan. Questions or comments can be directed to me in my email terry.votrv.com. And finally, uh, two future additional
phases of WIP reporting will be necessary. The phase 2 watershed assessment report, which is due January 1st, 2027, and the phase 3 watershed improvement plan report, which will be
due December 31st of 2027. Uh additional information on both of these plans will will be provided by NJD. I'm actually attending a seminar Wednesday uh sponsored by Rucker
Cooperative uh to talk about what's required in the phase two and I'll I'll share what I learned. Thank you. Does anybody have any questions? >> I was just going to ask does anybody have any questions? No questions at all.
All right, Terry. Thank you very much. Um, >> all right. Thank you, Mayor. Good night, everybody. >> Good night. >> Good night. >> Thank you. >> Uh, my report briefly. I just want to thank the DPW. I think they did an outstanding job last night. Um they're
coming in at 4 in the morning uh tomorrow to do the municipal parking lots including the one at municipal hall uh where of course a lot of cars park overnight and uh they didn't you know they don't kick anybody out the next day. So they'll be in early tomorrow to
do the parking lots and clean those all up. And uh I think that whether it was the condition of the snow, this kind of snow, we didn't have the ice crust like we did on the one on the 25th of January. Uh I think overall
the town looks pretty good. I did a drive around today. Uh I want to thank Brian McN for all of the messaging he put out um repeatedly about responsibility for cleaning things up and Alli Norton for sending things out to the business community. And um I
trust that Councilwoman Englehart will follow up with our property maintenance officer to make sure he's going around town and making sure everything else is tidied. I think the fire department did the um the hydrants. Um they're they
look amazing as well. Um so I think overall the town looks pretty good. There is a prediction for very light snow Wednesday, Thursday. Not a lot of accumulation at all. Uh, I for one have had enough of this and I think our budget has had enough of this as well and I know the DPW's had
enough of this. So, um, I just want to say thank you to everybody for doing such a bangup job in town. And that's, uh, that's it. Um, who am I going to call him without council president here? Okay, so uh, Council Councilman Aras,
start with you. >> Hello everybody. Yeah, um, same thing. Just want to say thank you to the DPW and to Brian for sending out all those messages. It it was very clear uh uh communication to the public and and uh yeah, I think it really helped with
everybody uh getting the cars out cuz I know I was on I'm bon everybody's getting tickets last time so there. So um yeah, that was awesome. Um, also not really much to report other than I was just showing everybody else, but we're doing the uh if anybody wants to get
their fairy houses in. I'm already building mine for the Flemington Ferry Trail. Still a work in progress. If you guys can see it, got a little mushroom there to go with it, but just going to do a little bit of painting left and finish the little roof on it.
Submissions are due by April 1st, I believe it was. I have to check. um about my dates, but um yeah. Uh other than that, uh oh yeah, same thing with Ali, just getting the information out to all the businesses as well. And I'm pretty sure a lot of people shoveled
their their sidewalks there on Main Street. So, yeah. Thank you. >> How did the event go at Samuel Fleming on Saturday? >> Oh, I I didn't go to that one. No, I had to go to work. Yeah. >> Okay. I just curious. Um Okay. Uh,
Councilwoman Angleart, >> hi. Thank you. I don't have a ton um today as well. Um, but I did want to follow up on what you had mentioned. Chris and I unfortunately exchanged um voicemails a couple times
last week. So, I haven't actually talked to talked to him prior to this um storm, but I'll uh follow up tomorrow again. And uh we're supposed to have a planning board meeting um tomorrow as well, but
um there the agenda's pretty light from what I could see and that's all I've got. >> Okay. Thank you very much. Uh Councilman Fisaro. >> Yes. Thank you, Mayor. Um, first OEM always impressed by what Brian McN's
team does, the communications. Um, and I woke up this morning and the roads look beautiful. So, kudos to our DPW. Um, we did have I wanted to thank the mayor for setting up the meeting last week um for development and very um very
illuminating and a lot of clarification as to where two of those those developments are, Captiva and Cardinal. Uh I do have the budget drafts for environmental and the fire department. um environmental commission. Um and this
might overlap with some of what Trent will speak about, but one um we did do um my first site review for environmental committee last week. Um few questions came out of that. I'll leave that up to Melissa Swingle to
discuss at planning board when it comes up. Um the burrow cleanup, this is really I think a great idea. Melissa Swingle, who is our chair, uh is targeting May 30th, which is in advance of the historic home
tours and the rain date would be the 31st. And one of the things we discussed is making sure that we laser focus the route of the homes that are on the map for that. And then Trent, I will leave it up to you to discuss if you want to bring up the night sky lighting
ordinance that you're working on with Beth McMattis. So that's it. That's it. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you, uh, Councilwoman Herbert. >> Thank you. Um, likewise, uh, appreciate
the, um, uh, meeting on the Cardinal redevelopment last week. Um, looking forward to hearing updates, um, from that. Um, we had a a parking and traffic uh committee meeting last week
and uh great followon um from my last report. Um excited to hear from uh Jay Troutman, his contact at um the state. Um we did hear back on the Highland Avenue circle. Um and they do have a
work order in to fix visibility of the signs. Um they agree that the the yield sign coming off the circle onto Highland um is pretty much um block completely blocked by other signage. Um they're going to
fix that and paint a nice giant yield sign on the road um to help control that traffic better. Um and um another couple items that came up um that um I'd like people to know that we're are being worked on is um
continue to have evaluation of the the length of the left turn light um turning left on 31 at uh church um aka the um intersection where it turns into Vorhees Corner Road um at the Wawwa there. Um
and um that's it for traffic. Um library is um they did have a meeting on Friday. Unfortunately, I had a family emergency. I was not able to attend. So I'll follow up with minutes and share out um once those are available. Um likewise with
the um special meeting for the FRSD school board last Thursday. Um I'll be following up once I can get a report on that. Um they do have a a board meeting this a regular board meeting this Thursday and I will be attending that.
Um last we had a communications committee. Um we've put out the request for articles for our next newsletter which will be published at the end of March. Um and we're working on scheduling a meeting to talk about um getting a little more structure around
our Spanish language emergency communications. That's it for me. >> Thank Thank you. Um, Councilman Levit. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, first some unfortunate news. Our application to the
NJTPA Complete Streets uh technical assistance program was unfortunately uh rejected. Uh, they did encourage us though to work with the county on their regional bike uh bike plan that they're working on. And I am going to do my best to try and make it to their meeting at
the county uh main branch library on Route 12 on Thursday. uh depending on my work schedule. If anybody else would like to join me, you are more than welcome to. Um as Councilwoman Fusar stated, yes, the environmental commission will be starting work with Lander Mcmanis to update our lighting ordinance. I have nothing to report on
it beyond that. Um I will be running a cleanup site again for Raritan Headquarters this year. That will be sometime in April and signups will be soon and I hope anybody uh anybody who wants to can join me there. Um, the Sha Tree Commission is still working on its
new tree ordinance and we'll be meeting uh on the unusual date of March 31st to review the ordinance with uh Liner McManis. Um, I of course also wanted to thank the DPW for their wonderful work to clear the road and Mr. McNe for their communication. Um, I do just want to put
out uh if you're a wonderful property owner in this burrow, please do clear your sidewalks and any abuing crosswalks. Uh, I know I don't want to and I don't think anybody else on this council wants to um approve any leans for the burough to pay to clear your sidewalks or crosswalks. Um, and lastly,
as Councilwoman Herbert noted, uh, yes, it is newsletter time, uh, please remind your department heads and boards and commissions to submit content to us. And, uh, a personal request of mine, uh, as little AI slop as possible. I want
wonderful handwritten, handcrafted articles uh for our newsletter. And that's it. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you so much. Um and I just also want to just say that I believe that um our CFO sent the whole
council a copy of the budget at this point >> for your review. Uh there is no proposed tax increase in that budget. Um and um I know Bill Bill worked very hard on uh on doing
that. Um so we are anticipating hopefully holding our garbage um for a little while longer with the current um the current vendor. Um and
um like I said, it's it's a zero increase budget. Hard to get there. Um and uh but we got there. So uh when the council's ready and wants to have a discussion with our CFO, uh maybe we'll
do that at the next meeting. If I don't want to do it the night that the um the budget is coming in for the public hearing for the bid, but whatever. If it's not the Carla, when is that when when are they coming in before? >> That's the next meeting. The first
meeting in March. >> All right. I'll talk to Bill's not on tonight. I I don't think >> Yeah, I don't see him. >> Um I don't see him either. So, you know, it's up to him whether he wants to do it uh on the 9th or the 23rd.
Whichever he thinks has to be done. Um if we can wait till the 23rd, we'll wait till the 23rd so we don't have to talk about um the bids budget as well because it it could be a long meeting. Um potentially, you never know. So, um
>> I Marca, if I may, um I just took my or new uh newly elected orientation on Saturday and um the the budget portion of the session. They impressed upon us the schedule and the
deadlines. Um and it looks like um the 23rd is the latest we can um approve and have public hearing. >> So there is the loss of the state of New Jersey
>> and then there's the reality of the Department of Community Affairs >> and local finance. And so the law says one thing, but every year local finance um comes out and says here's the actual date that you need to have it in and
you're not allowed to have it in before their date. So Bill will get that date and like I said there's the law. They didn't tell you this at the meeting. There's the law and there's the reality of New Jersey. Yeah, they're very different >> and you can't tell.
That's the key thing. The last time I remember the date coinciding with the law, I was elected in Rear in Township >> and that was a really long time ago. >> So, we'll let if Bill says it's got to be the ninth, it'll But that's it. We're
talking introduction. I'm talking about just having the meeting. So, we'll see what he says. >> So, it's really you I know like it's mind-blowing, Councilwoman Herbert, but it is the reality. >> Yes.
I've seen towns. You're on mute. >> I'm sorry. One in time. What did you say, Carla? >> I said I've seen towns adopt budgets in the summer. >> I did Bridgewwateraters one year in July. >> Yeah. Yeah. I've seen them very late. Yeah.
>> We start get letters saying you guys are going to get fined every every $10 a day if you don't adopt your budget. Um, >> we've always we've we've done ours I mean my three years as mayor, we've done ours on time when the state tells us it's actually due. >> Yeah. Flemington is typically the first
of my towns to go, which is a credit to you guys. So, >> but h how much time is there between when they tell us and when it's what the date is that they tell us? >> Oh, it could be two months difference. Yeah, >> they more like they could they could be
telling us you've got an extra two months. >> You just never know. >> And I don't know why. Like I don't know what's what's going on down there. >> You got to wait the 30 days too to notice and have the p public hearing and everything. >> So once it's introduced, so we'll have a
budget meeting to discuss it if the council wants one. And I mean, if everybody's okay with the structure of the budget, then we can just introduce it. And then it lays on the desk for 30 days and the public has a, you know, the ability has to be published so that everybody can see it. And then um
there's a public hearing and then there's another time period and then it's and then the DCA has to review it anyway. Like they can't it's not adopted until they say it's adopted. >> Right. Right. Yeah. Um Yeah. I know I I asked because I I am interested in
working sessions and being able to have discussions about things. So, >> we'll have time for that. So, >> well, we we'll make time if it's a special meeting. It'll be a special meeting. We'll make time. >> You know, if Bill says, "Oh, no, no, we have to introduce the 23rd," then we'll
talk on the 9th about a special meeting to talk about the budget. So, don't worry about that. We will we will have a full bloated discussion if that's what you guys want. It's okay by me. >> Cool. Okay. Um
All right. Public comment session number one. Anybody from the public? I see two attendees. You have a question, raise your hand. We'll put you in. >> Seeing and Michael.
>> Yeah. Seeing none, uh we'll have a second one coming up. Uh we have approval of uh minutes regular meeting January 26, 2026. Um can I have a motion, please? >> Sorry, I'll move. >> Is there a second?

everything that was uh supposed to be in there. And Chris Corsini, I also know listened to video of the meeting and made sure that he got the times right and the intentions right for Hardy's coffee shop. Um
>> three times. Three times, Mayor. I really did try to capture what you guys trying to >> because it was there was a lot of talk that night, but I think that Jay and I really did try to get everything here. So, >> well, he concurred with what you did. So, it's all and I looked at it and you
know, traffic reading traffic ordinance is always difficult, but uh I actually wrote to him today and just verified, you know, that what I read is right and he said yes, it is. So, it's okay. Um, can I have a motion to introduce please? For Sarah, we'll move. >> Is there a second?
