e e welcome everybody if I could ask everybody to please stand for a moment of silence provided to the call of staff and profession Chief stoer here Mr disco
here will'll begin with our report for from our B attorney H report of our bur administrator hello so we have some rfps that are out you know about for
janitorial services IT services and for um yeses and for the concession stand concession and they are all on g.org we also have reached out to the vendor that's working on the shade structure because it's warming up and they need to lay the concrete so I've asked them to
please check the ground and make sure that they can they can lay the concrete um but that's it for my repl does anybody have any questions for Mr Arthur okay I'm gonna skip over my report and do that after to allow um our
bur engineer to discuss some items with us Mr good evening everybody thank you I have a long bullet list tonight so I but I think I'll go through quickly so the top uh bullet point is really good
news we have completed the design on on our Municipal Aid 2024 project that is East Street New Street and Walnut Street we have electronically uh prepared the specifications the engineers estimate the engineer certification in our cover
letter I gave you a copy of the construction estimate uh it is less than what we originally applied to do for which is a good thing so we have a grant of 346,000 our estimate for base bid work is
350,000 change they so of the 350 is about would normally reimburse we also took us several alternates and they're all very low CL the alternate one was four uh and this is something I
discussed with Council probably about six months go a resident had called and said we've got East Street in good shape except for that one intersection of locust and East and so I had talk ago this board consented to
have so very alterer they're really just going to walk the pav machine machine down the street when they're doing East Street and hopefully we have the funding for that alterate two was for some sanitary uh inii stuff under the frame cone you are replacing all of the
manhole frames with low weight hinge ductal Iron II resistant covers this a freebie for the town so this is a great thing but underneath where we reset those manholes we we like to put a epoxy coating on it water from coming in B
will not reimburse or participate in that take it and finally alterate three with TV inspection we have no sanitary sores on the of Walnut on North the third uh really none on the section of new street
from Myrtle to the granford ranking Avenue only on East Street do we have sanitary stores I reached out to Clint I said I know parse is doing some work but he said parse is really doing jetting and cleaning not TV inspection so alterate 3 would be the TV inspect East
Street be prudent if we can fund it not it's not so um the plans were done except for we putting on quantities on the title sheet today when I get to work tomorrow I presume I'm going to sign them seal them and send them off to do typically
they're going to look at that for two three maybe four weeks inevitably there'll be some comments will take to fix the comments put it out consuming fundings but you do have a grant of 346 which is really going to cover looks
like most of the um the base I'll move on unless there's questions on that uh no questions I just do want to let the council know um counc You probably but the um intersection of
East and Locust get even more um with with the winter storms and uh the poth hole was barely so they have filed the DPW filled it um but that I know doesn't last very long
so would you take that okay uh bullet point number two is just an update on our Municipal ag3 project uh as many of you aware we spoke about this the last time I was here we had uh part of that project we did the TV inspection that work happened over
the winter and as luck to have it we reviewed those um videos and reports in February we actually do have a couple of issues with the line that we would want to take care of before we pave it so on beach um Avenue we have three locations
where we have protruding sores what I mean by that is you envision an 8 inch or 10 inch diameter sanitary sore M who have private laterals that have been connected to the main and have protruded to that circular uh area so the T camera
could not pass those inting services and so there's a gap there where they couldn't even TV until this is uh repaired this is a headache from a maintenance possibility where you would have paper products that would coagulate couple
tradition we've asked the contractor for that I asked them for that on February 14th I have not heard back from that but they have acknowledged that they would get us a price for that so this would be a traditional dig repair with a flowable fill back bill and stabiliz we want to
do that before we paid point mayor though is if we PVE the street we found this after we'd be ripping up a brand SP so in H sight it's probably a good thing that we didn't we didn't pay um too soon um move on to um number three
John's really taking the lead on that and we' talked privately or separately I should say about some of the tasks that g do that Friday or Monday um and I think indicated we
had last year is very consistent again that's know that's the sale of RNs Hospital years ago they had pool and uh B the point number four I it heads up
there um we had some residents Bing or one particular resident about lack of sidewalks in the East Street and so what I did hopefully was accurate I distribute that so everybody would know where we
have sidewalks including the two that two blocks that we did on West Street don't have we don't have side uh I will I will add on um our Municipal Aid 24 Grant my first bullet point on New Street we
have a missing link of sidewalks um it only goes partially uh south of Myrtle Avenue so between that portion where the residents stop the athletic field on ranking there's no sidewalk so we've Incorporated new sidewalk mayor into our
do that we're submitting tomorrow so again that's going lead to the burrow because all those costs for that side are going to be Eng by this do application brand as far as the other ones that's really up to council to decide if you want to add them in the
future the one in particular near Hazel and East I took a picture and I tried to get it downloaded today before I left to go to another municipality around 130 and I didn't have it but essentially picture shows of two rather large
diameter trees and a the grass that would be have to rega to respond to the president have br the basically the next bullet point was that we had taken the um television
inspection reports and Quantified a number of defects and we showed that on a schematic plan there with the north side of town and there was quite quite a number of defects which have been outlined by the and it was only I to show you the
extent of what are possible a areas on the south side we don't have the extended extended television inspections we've been doing them like we would do it on East Street as we go I I showed how Beach Avenue uh Hemlock um and and
the like for the municipal a23 project I showed them on there then I also for reference if we have more than six point repairs on the line it's moves you not to do them as a point repair why repair six Fe times six of those and C is be 4
5K each you're going to spend 30k on those repairs the entire reach 300 feet or whatever a manhole reaches you can line that for that same course so there's going to be perhaps some Future Point repairs perhaps some future
Linings we would we obviously would like toate that road bids like we have for the p as an ultimate if we can financially afford them we but it's just for planning purposes I think it's a go for Council to know and
and I knowe that Mr arth has IND trying to find some funding to do some repair I have a question about this on on the southide Um Myrtle yes um from
from the um Maple to the dead end yes it looks like and I hope I'm reading right it looks like there's different points that you repair so would that be something I talking
about we could on one man Hall section there there's three 11 on that those are those are repairs that could wait if we had to point but because there were so many I was wondering whether you thought you're going to do
eight on one line it would be better to line it so maybe that's something we can look to do with the others yes when when I went to the contractor shuting service and the ones on hamlock to dig those I feel we have
to do also has to get us a price incidental for Point repairs that's escalated based upon they wanted to give me a price bu so we'll have a number and then the council can decide whether want the ones
that are 3 and eight on myle good they don't have to be done right now you never tomorrow it could fail but they are not the most serious defs something that based great we would knock them out
before we PID but if we don't have the funding now it's not imperative at least my my best judgment is not imperative that we have to make those repairs could be done in theut thank
you and then just an update on South Avenue there was some as I understand it the U developer has or is in is intending to purchase they've submitted a cut sheet to me which theoretically I had looked at months ago but they want in a more formal way and I told them I
would do that tomorrow as well I I don't know if they if it was an actual formal Award of the quote to denar construction I just don't know where we landed on that I know I had done letters in the past but there was always an issue of
who was GNA fund the actual equip so we have to catch up on that soing it but I don't so I don't I know you were working on how to work it out best way didn't there's no formal approval for quote answer that part at this
point we're waiting for the equipment that's coming from Russo and then we're gonna work work on the actual yeah which like you said you're G to approve that part so I we have those quotes I mean again I could recast the
letter or if there's another that's going to get done that's we can talk about s but it is mov forward it is I I think that they and then the last bullet point just simply you know every year they uh
Finance their billing for commercial users typically water in and water out that's how the bills are I establish the rate for them and they take the rate water records and they run so that was done just Council that's not and it's
basically a basically pro rated of what RV say charges us each year and we rati that unless there's other factors that was lot going on does anybody okay well thank you Mr disco I
will leave also I have some larger plans which somebody may like and I can certainly run them 24 in by 36 in if you really want to have a lot of and you are free to goly if you choose
to I will go yes all right thank you for you're welcome okay moving on I have a a report for everybody a number of things tonight um I have been working with a number of
various groups to advance projects or streamline our current code ious things um I know councilman pusc continues to work on New Jersey film requirements and I've been meeting I met with a representative from the Small Business
Association uh just to ensure that any guidelines we put in place when we do that align with our business's needs as well um I have also been working with the SBA to discuss updating our sign code to better help our businesses advertised and we did discuss some of
those changes last night at the planning board meeting uh and we will continue to work with the board and Community Development on this before it is brought finally to council uh I have also been working with some local artists for discussion on
creating a mural on the underpass wall uh this would be a project done in coordination with Union County connects as well as the Garwood partnership for arts and culture so I will be attending gpac's March meeting to discuss furthering this project uh which we
would look to fund with and donations I will hopefully have updates over the next few months I also want to announce that I will be looking for Garwood to join Revolution New Jersey which is New Jersey's official commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States
which is in26 uh we will be joining our ad joining towns in um with that group and we'll look to begin planning events for that celebration I spoke to granford Mayor Terence Curran about partnering for some of the events and I'm sure we
will partner up with others as well I will be assigning a council leas on to that in the near future um so I know it's a bit of a way away but it's something fun I with look forward to uh the other night Chief stoer and I met with owners of some businesses on the
North side to discuss the upcoming paid parking phas in um discussions are ongoing and the is also meeting with some owners next week to further discuss and just proactively ensure everyone is able to make as smooth a transition as possible
today I spent the day uh with other Mayors at the New Jersey Conference of Mayor winner summit summit the theme of today's meeting was Law Public Safety with discussions about Ai and tech security as well as a discussion about the arve program and I am proud to say
that during the panel discussion gwood and its Police Department got a shout out from New Jersey of alternative and Community respons how we run the uh in Garwood um especially as a small town here um
I've spoken about the aride program up here before but uh for those who don't know it's an initiative that pairs officers with mental health professionals to ensure safer responses to Res uh it's been a proven Lifesaver and I'm just so proud for our Police
Department as soon as it available and they've done it so seamlessly as well and that Ved today by so special than to Bronco who Tak help on this um and just you know to
be noticed by the people who helped create and run this program for the state is just something our department and our borrow to be really proud of yeah uh finally along with our bar administrator I have been in discussions with the burrow of Fanwood about the
possibility of sharing our s to make things more efficient as well as save money on the budgeting end so for years we've been discussing the possibility of a shared report given a Rel small si uh and we've participated in a study to determine viability but for one reason
or another at the time it wasn't even feasable however we' currently share our coord tra position with Fanwood which has been successful both financially and operatively so we have been discussing fully sharing operations and all other
employees there are still some finances to be worked out to see tax savings um and the administration of Courts would have to sign off did I get the right administration of Court Administrative Office of Courts administrative office of Court uh would have to sign off uh
but the biggest decision for council members to weigh in on would be location our situated in so there's pros and cons to both obviously um had a bit more room in the offices and open up more here
at which very much as um now given that payments can be made online and the majority of our support appearances are virtual certainly not as challenging as it would have been in um
however there is still the issue that anybody situation I don't neily and then we will discuss this at the next meeting if that works for okay that is it for me so we are moving right along

close public hearing on this ordinance some second um so it it basically opens up the the process a little for for the uh Chief and chief through Captain uh Chief through Sergeant um and it basically
allows us to use the the testing and the promotional procedures at once rather than have to go out and pay the same test over if somebody wanted to apply for Chief and then wanted to apply for Captain um you wouldn't have to go and
test twice according to our old code we were did I is that have anything else to add it's essentially that so um you know we want to open up the the pool we we happen to be in a situation where we have Chief and the captain retiring at the same time we want to be able to have
a fair number of candidates those positions so that there's options for with such a small department so that there's options for the mayor and Council to choose from and to you know select the best and as we can find for those important positions I'm sorry I
should have just that's okay working on it for so long you got 98% of it just the other piece was standardizing some of the language between the ranks so that that testing would could be done that way so it's just some of it was really just language cleanup on every
rank between sergeant and Captain to mure the process that was put in place for the chief uh when we revised this a couple years ago and a little operational uh language for things that needed to happen for accreditation as

you know that the allra foundation donated an outdoor a bundle to Clark on January 10th um that's kind of closing out Union County for the year and I think that you do know but the 80 units
that we advocated for for the 36 parks in Union County have actually all been installed and there's a list of those on their website so that is awesome we celebrated our one-year anniversary on January 23rd with impact night we
recognized a few people who have gone above and beyond and when the Garwood times comes to your mailbox um in the next couple of days you'll see an article about Emma willix who is 12 years old on the cover um we recognized her for all that she's done for the
foundation she's always showing up anytime we have an event anytime we're doing anything and she also got CPR certified which is amazing for a 12-year-old I've been working with Kata on some potential Innovative heart
health programming um with wreck and we've been talking about making guacamole doing all this really fun stuff um over the next bunch of months I was at the New Jersey Recreation and Parks Expo and Conference in Atlantic City on Monday and Tuesday
we showcased the foundation and AD team actually paid for us to be there so I met a lot of parks department people I talked about garwood's investment in the life saving bundles and I have to tell you they were all so impressed that our
itty bitty town has made this a priority and shocked that we have two where these big places have zero I also learned that Atlantic City is not my scene whatsoever um I wanted to just remind you as you start budgeting um to please keep the
gwood first aid squad on your radar and please consider increasing that $99,000 this year I spoke to Mike disco as he was leaving when you were driving on Center going from south to North there
is a basically like a line across of a Groove pothole so I drive this like four times a day and it's destroying my car so he said that he will talk to DPW about filling that he wasn't aware of it so he actually drove that way I
apologized to him ahead of time but it's about 10 ft before you get to the light um on North on the right lane um and yeah that's it thanks thank you is there anybody else who wishes to address the mayor and councel
gentlemen Council Bruce Patterson 325 little Avenue a bunch of little items um back in the Centennial am Cony was like uh we created a centennial committee and American Coy was um budgeting $10,000
for like three years for us to celebrate the Centennial so I don't know if if the 250th is coming up maybe you should consider that also so um we didn't even know what we were going to do but we had the money so that was thank you very much to Mayor Cony May rest in peace the
uh oh there's an executive session 2567 and I I always ask this uh question as to what is the overview of this executive session executive session um prior to Mr aens I mean there was a
great lawyer named uh Robert somebody that could Mr Rady he's not even smiling but anyway he always gave a a reasonable overview of it plus you also mentioned whether action was taken or not taken
uh yeah you're talking about the underpass and artist Vic VRA I don't know if you talk to him but but back about eight years ago he was saying he actually had an artist uh from Elizabeth that would be doing Artistry
on the underpass wall so maybe you should reach out to him and actually retrieve that person I didn't know who it was only Vic Vic knew was a good friend doing a favor for Garwood the uh yeah the fee the the SE fee is coming up
25-7 it's it's on for introduction just a couple of questions I I kind of read through it quickly but how much are we are we looking at um to include in the budget I guess for this this year uh there should be a reason able
number um yeah again I asked about the pilot monies um you know we're getting it from the verilla we're also getting it from the village uh I would assume these fees are completely separate from the pilot money coming in and and doesn't impact that dollar amount um
that's coming in from both of those veras and the sad part is I I could see $100 being assessed per unit of of the village those people are very low income I mean it's roughly we get about $40,000 from the village
pilot in the budget and uh that for 70 units that roughs out about $600 a unit and to assess them another $100 per unit is a pretty big impact on them unless you're going to deal with hard a different way and and retrieve whatever
costs uh would be coming out of there uh there shared service with the Board of Ed you you re you rescheduled but as I noted before you really I mean it's so easy just verela one to the municipal verela 2 goes to the board of it uh
somebody mentioned about 12% Health cost increase well the Board of Ed has that same 12% increase uh let's see any other fee I I might have some other fee I guess that's it for now maybe I'll summarize a lot of my questions but uh
it's going to be interesting you know what you should have for the for the uh Sur is a public meeting sounds like it's a major impact on the whole town uh they're talking out there they're talking on social media about the s s Fe so really should have a town hall
meeting get together explain it to the people before they Revolt so only kidding uh anyway thank you very much thank you is there anybody else who wishes to address the mayor and councel just have to read the one we do have one to read in is there anybody else in the
audience that wishes to address okay um oh actually miss par can you read that in I don't know why I'm grabbing it okay uh it's an email that came from coling Hay 5164 Avenue her comments are
the appropriated sore fees in the 2024 budget were $889,000 th000 will be collected through the new sewer ordinance the new this new ordinance has been presented and will pass before the 2025 budget is presented will the sore appropriation be lowered
in the budget due to the newly collected fees will these fees be a dedicated budget line item designed for sers only if not why okay do I have a motion to close public comment so moved
second all in favor okay um in terms of uh Miss Hay's question and I guess it actually does kind of go into Mr Patterson's um Miss hey I uh if you're watching I will have to have U Mr
Arthur can you ask Miss Bruns to get the actual 2024 sore fees um I don't have that number off the top of my head so we but we will get it to yes we'll do thank you um sore appropriation and the sore line
item there will be a specific we've we've spoken about it before a specific sore maintenance line item um and um yes the appropriation for this first year uh correct me if I am I'm wrong councilman Foley but I do believe it will be very
very conservative given that it is the first year and we have to see how this plays correct okay and um The Village that the residents themselves will not be paying the fee it does go through HUD um so
we're not assessing the the the residents there and mailing it to them per se and the fee to uh vermella is separate from the pilot um and I think that was it for questions
okay we will move to the consent agenda does anybody have any that they wish to remove okay seeing none uh if we could have a motion to adopt the consent agenda
second okay uh W call please miss miss P councilwoman Bodo hi councilman Foley hi councilman Carney hi councilman pusc hi council president noi hi okay we have some new business we
