curious to get some uh of your feelings or thoughts on the cur the article I read about the suit against the Bureau of Glassboro having to do with the noise ordinances. We we didn't publicly comment, but uh
the comment here would be that uh we should uh win that case without any question. Uh we've already moved it filed the move to federal court and our council has just filed a motion to see if you can dismiss most if not the
entire case. U they seem to miss the fact that you have the option the decibel noise ordinance is an option if municipalities want to adopt it. But there is cases as recent as 2015 or more where our own courts have held that
noise ordinances aren't constitutional. So we don't look to change anything. I tend to agree with that. But I the article they stated something that really threw me for a loop and that was that when initially the ordinance was crafted back in 1976 or whatever the
year was um that the the case they were trying to make was that it wasn't submitted to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection or something like that for their blessing before you that is that would have been well 1979 it wasn't working then but that likely
either was a nuisance ordinance or because what they would have had to submit to the state is the model state ordinance noise ordinance and that requires use of the desk. So whatever we sent up there didn't meet
their requirements but then we just adopted the nuisance Nord code enforcement type ordinance that's been on the books since 1979. Yeah, I was going to say I was at Glaspro State in 76. I mean it's That's how long ago that was.
Well, okay. Very welcome. Thank you. We're on it. We are defending it as we speak. Yeah. Thank you, sir. Hello everyone. My name is Billy Roland, the glass black res of Glboro. Um I was out at Elmir Park and I appreciate that
you guys are putting a bathroom out there which has been needed long time ago. Um, my problem with it is it's going to be stick built instead of block all the way up. I think it should be a stone face block all the way up instead
of uh stick built. And with that being said, it is nothing has ever been done in that park in like the last 50 years. I go around to all the other parks. They
are beautiful, magnificent. 50 years park had nothing done to used to have tennis courts back there. Took the tennis courts away, but nobody was really playing tennis that much. Even people that rowing wasn't playing tennis.
Uh we had used to have lights out there. They just disconnected everything. Swiped all the lights away. Uh all those trees that's out there in the park, Elman Park, I feel as though they all need to come down and a parking lot
needs to be put out there. Uh need to put a dog park out there. There's a lot of things that need to be done at Ellid Park being as though it's 50 years nothing has been done there and it needs to change.
You know, I was over at New Street Park. They got two nice dog parks with little things to train their dogs on. They got nine pickle ball courts. Used to be a uh hockey ring out there. Just tore the
hockey ring out and put in a pickle ball court, which is not free. Now, I know Elman Park may not have a big budget as the other parks do, but you can take some money from this budget for this part and do something over in
this park. It's done all the time. Take a little bit from this budget and put it with this budget to get something over there done. Take from here to put over Rob Peter to pay Paul. So, that's my gripe for tonight. Something needs to be done at Ellir
Park. make it where people want to go out there, walk around, sit around, and enjoy the park. There's nothing there but a basketball court, a couple of benches around the basketball court. All those trees out there, trees, like I said, need be come
down and put sitting areas with a gazebo or like you got at the pickle ball courts and the dog and the dog parks. There's nice sitting area for the dog park. They got a water out there for the dogs and both of them and like I say
it's terrible. I've been a lifelong resident of Glboro 50 years nothing has been done in Ellir Park. You got to say something. Uh if you'd like if you're finished. I'm finished. Uh I will tell you thank you for
bringing it to our Oh, one more thing. Uh I was just talking to a gentleman here. Um, the bathroom seems a little small, but he said there's going to be three stalls in the ladies room, which I was hoping it would be four. And there's going to be two stalls in the men's room and two
funerals, which is okay. But, um, like I said, it doesn't need to be wood building. Got four courses of block there. Need to go all the way up with some stone face block, 8 in stone face blocks, and put a roof on it. But,
uh, lumber and siding, you want something that's going to last forever. And, uh, Stoneface blocks will last forever. All right, I'm done. Okay. Uh, with regards to the bathrooms, uh, the
day-to-day people and the people that make those decisions, um, the decision that was made to use wood instead of block, um, I can't expound on that, but I'm sure we can get you a reasonable
explanation on that. Um, with regard to uh the park in general, uh, first of all, I'm going to tell you that I agree that not much has gone on in that park, but by far, in my personal opinion, Ellir Park is one of the most beautiful,
if not the most beautiful park we have. No, no way. You cannot believe that, sir. Okay. Um, I will tell you that we have not only are we addressing the bathroom issue, which I know has been a discussion, we are addressing the parking issue, which is on the table,
and we're addressing upgrading and uh getting that park uh upgrading that park as well. Um, and those are all things that are in the works. Ellir Park, though it may appear to you that is being neglected, it absolutely is not being neglected. And it is no different
than any other park that we have here in the bar. 50 years. Okay. All right. Thank you, sir. Have a good evening. You do the same. Bless evening everyone. Uh to the mayor council. My name is Gwen
Roland. Glass fur states 205 every uh Kentucky Avenue. Glass fur. Uh I have three concerns. One of them you sort of almost answered. I know you probably can't answer this, but what's going on with 322,
the bypass and all that? I've heard nothing other than what we've known that we expressed to you the last time we talked about it. No, we've heard nothing. Okay. From the county that is which is the
county is the one that's spearheading this project. Who would I call in the county to get some information on that? I would call the county engineer. Okay. And the bathroom that's being built in Elmer Park, you say it's going
to be three stalls. Will one of them be for handicapped people? Because that's going to have to be really large. And from what it looks like, because I went out there and I looked at it, it looks like a little matchbox, right? It's like it looks awfully small.
Well, if I may, uh, because you sound like a person that's like me. When I look at a building, I think, ain't no way this is going to happen. We have professionals on these. They've done them. The specs are the specs are going to meet all ADA compliance and they are
going to be adequate for what they are going to be used for. Okay. One one more question I think uh at this point it's going to uh you have the foundation done and from there on up it's going to be wood. Is it too
late to say no? We don't want wood. We want blocks or whatever you use. Uh that I wouldn't think it would be too late but then again what do I know? Right. that I'm just asking. Right. I I can't answer that question specifically now, but uh I can assure
you that the the decision that was made to build it the way it was built, it was made by professionals and the structure, if it if the structure was approved to go up, it will be up and it will be uh
secure. It'll stand for as long as we need it want it to stand. Uh we don't do any we don't half step anything here in the burrow. Okay. Um the building is going to be adequate. Will it be locked all day unless there's something happening?
Those decisions haven't been those are still on the table. Just out of curiosity, would you want it locked or not locked? It depends on what what's in there to do now, right? You know, if if there's things that people going to be doing, they know you don't want it. Well, you could have it
open from, let's say, from 12:00 noon to right 7. That will be a good time to have it open. The reason I'm asking is because we tried to keep the town square open and it was getting abused. Abused. Okay.
Um I would not send one of our people over to clean it because if I'm not going to clean it myself, that's how bad it was. So, we've made a decision to close that except for when there's events going on. That's why I was asking your opinion? Yeah, I would just have it open for like
during the day. But they say, yeah, Miss Roland, those discussions uh are still on the table. No decision has been made either way with regard to that uh how long those bathrooms and you know what hours
they'll be open. Okay. And one more thing for real, we do need a parking lot when we're using that park because those cars parked on the road, that's a hazard for everybody. Yep. That is that that is horrible. Could not agree with
I got caught up in that this year and I was like this this is crazy. Yes. But we need like my brother said, cut down some of those woods and make a parking lot. Well, it's in the works. It's desperately needed. The parking lot is in the works. It's in the works. Listen, we know.
Yeah, we're we we listening to you and we know what's needed out there and we're working. We appreciate your patience while we get through this, but we're working and it's going to happen. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Hello. Good evening.
Good evening. Diane Johnson, 16 William Street, Glboro. Okay. I'm in agreement with Mr. William Roland and Gwen Roland about the bathroom. No, no disrespect to you. You had told Mr. Roland that um the bathroom
look just as good as rest of the bathroom and is not being neglected. That's not true. That bathroom do not look like the rest of the bathroom around. You know, you you got wood. Other bathroom don't have wood. They have block, brick, whatever. So, I'm not
being disrespectful, but that's not true. And we could we could do a little better with our bear from over there. It's is this I thank y'all for putting it up. I really do. But we could do better. We should do
better. Elmer Park deserve better. Like William Roland said, we should do better. And my next question is, I don't know who to talk to and you can guide me in the right direction, but on 322 from the light from um Landmark going up
to the college around that circle, it's terrible. They got a they got a security guard further down. Matter of fact, they got two security guards further down. All the way down, but there's none up there by that circle. The lines the cars is all the way back.
It's backed up. Somebody gonna get hurt. Somebody gonna be out there fighting because everybody is rushing from this from this angle to get to that angle. And it's it's terrible. It's entirely too crowded. I'm not saying anything against the college students because I had a college student myself. But they
need to get another security guard in that area. It's it's it's terrible. It takes you almost an hour to get through because they walking walking walking walking. I mean, you have to care about the residents here, too. when we driving, not just the college students.
Half of them don't look. They just walk right on across the street. You know what I mean? I mean, it's it's terrible. So, that's my concern. I know you're probably saying, "Well, you ain't got to go that way." But I do sometime because I have to pick up my daughter. And believe me, I dread going that way. I
hate going over there. It's It's terrible. I don't know who I need to talk to. Miss Johnson, can I ask you a quick question, Diane? Oh, you mean crossing guard, not security? They don't. Well, no, they secure. It's still security, but they are they're acting like crossing guards. You're talking about
the ones that help the students cross 322, right? But I'm seeing what I see on the shirt. So, they security guard, crossing guard, whoever. But they do have them further down. Two of them. They have they don't have any down there nearby the circle, right? And they should have one by the circle because you never get out of there.
I know. You never get out of there. So that's terrible. What's that? Okay. So, who do I talk to about that? Do you talk to uh you just did? Okay. So, how you going to handle that? Are you going to talk to someone or Yes, we're we'll talk
because you're not you're not giving me no feedback. You're not saying anything. We will speak to the uh county about the roads. We can count the county engineer about the traffic. Uh the state is already working on the timing of the lights as they redo Deli Drive. Uh we
will continue to collaborate with Rowan University to try to help get some understanding and maybe some more teamwork with how to shuffle uh the the student population across 322 so they can do what they need to do. Uh as well
as getting the residents and those just getting through Glboro to get from point A to point B. Um it's not denying your issue because we all agree with you. Um and we that's another
issue that we are also working on that lumps into all of the traffic that we that we as residents and everybody in the burrow have to deal with on a daily basis when you know class lets out or it's lunchtime in the burrow or it's the end of business day. Um, we have a very,
you know, a very big problem with traffic here, uh, that we're working to mitigate on a day-to-day basis. Yeah. I know you can't, um, stop the traffic, you know, but they can put a a crossing guard out there to help with the traffic, right? And help with the college students, right? You know,
I I'm sending a note right now to the county engineer. What I really think needs to be done, I don't know, can it needs to be to your point, Miss Johnson, all the kids have to do now is hit the button. They cross and it's non-stop and you can't get by. non-stop. Non-stop. There's got to be a timer. And they don't even they got to do and
they don't look. They just non-stop. Non-stop something to the county. Right. Out of the five crosswalks, the only one you can actually get through is the one that has a traffic light at. It's because the students wait for the light to have given them the hand sign. That's further down. That's correct. And all the other But they got You're right. That's the only one you can get through. Not the last one.
No, they got where you come out of Memorial Circle. Yes, you do. They got They got two. They got one. I thought it was further up, but Okay. Where the circle is. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you go through the circle. If you can get through, you go through there. You go down a little bit. There's a crossing guard
right there. Go down to the next light. There's a light right there. There's a crossing guard right there. There's no more lights. That's it. Then you go over the railroad tracks. You know, it's it's terrible. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, my name is Don Fenza. I live at 714
Lois Drive in Williamstown. I hear there's a problem with stray cats in Glboro and I'd like to offer some help. Um, I'm a volunteer trapper with Community Cat Club and I have brochures here with my contact information on the back to give to you guys. So, if you want to reach out to me to set up a
meeting or some kind of process, I'd be willing to listen. Great. I leave these over here. Yes, please. Thank you so much. Thank you very very much. Hello, Mayor and Council. My name is Brenda Mcernney. I sent you an email a little bit earlier today which you responded to. So, thank you. Yes, sir.
Um, I've got two boys that go to Rowan University. I've got a senior who loved it so much. He referred his brother who's a freshman. So, they've had a great experience here, but from what I'm hearing over the last couple years, it sounds like it's starting to get a little bit more difficult. You've got a lot of lot more incidents with kind of
town takeovers and people that don't go to school here causing trouble and so forth. No espersion toward the police department. I know they got a impossible job. I know this happens in a lot of states, a lot of excuse me, a lot of towns, a lot of states, etc. I would just like to know, is there a plan to,
you know, deescalate this? Is there a plan to, you know, make this a little bit more difficult for kids that don't go to school here to come in? Things along those lines. Uh, there you go, Mr. Mcderney. Um, Mcernney, right? Yes, sir. Yeah. So, and our police chief is in the
back. Um, but right now we have something called party patrol. Okay. So, we send out since the school since the school year, we've sent out the first weekends, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 777 additional officers. Same as next week. a little bit more and a little bit
less. And that's overtime coming from us. Their job is to go around and break up these parties. That's already that's already been in place. With that said, it has not been easy. I'm sure they've been on 148 calls, 50 noise
complaints, 35 fights, disturbances, riot and immoral conduct summons 17. maintaining a nuisance. Summons 17, urinating in public, summons 15, littering, littering, and summons four. There's been criminal charges. Two of our officers have been assaulted.
They've been obstructioning, arrest three times, disorderly conduct twice, public brawl three times. We are trying to do with our police and the party patrol our best we can to possibly squash that. Internally, from what the burrow has done, we've passed an
ordinance. First of all, where we're seeing a lot of the problems start is in these big houses with 20 bedrooms. Okay? We've lost certain sections of our town, Maine and Carpenter. We've lost it. But we've passed an ordinance saying that you can no longer build anything more than a five bedroomedroom house to try
to stop that. We um also are passing tonight to try to stop the parties because that's where the out oftowners are coming in an ordinance that if you have a party in Glboro with more than a 100 people that you need to get a permit
that needs to be reviewed by the police chief, the fire chief, myself, and code enforcement. And what that enable us to do is if if this party has and all these parties have more than 100 people, we can shut it down just because they don't have that. Because what's happening
right now, we're going once, twice, three times. We've been on 67 calls since the year started. The other thing we're doing, we passed an ordinance tonight to make parents of of minors um if the minor gets a problem, it's your responsibility parent. So, we are trying
there's things that we've put in place. We've shut down Rowan Boulevard five times already this year. Five times. So, we're constantly out on Rowan Boulevard doing all of that. So, everything we interviewed for four more officers
yesterday. I'll be quite honest with you and I've said this. It is very hard to get police officers today. Nobody wants to be a police officer. No question. No question. Chief, have I have I missed anything? No, he hasn't. To this point, we've taken very proactive aggressive approach
to address the assistance of our county, we're doing all we can to try and jump ahead. We've prevented several potential pursuit had stop. So yes, we're taking a proactive
approach. Some things are slipp but we are aggressive. Now, what about coming in from outside? That's one of the things I hear is is sort of pervasive here. Maybe DWI checks or at choke points, things like that. So they're not so you don't have them getting in things like that.
DWI check points. Yes. But they're kind of very sure no doubt they do. They do it at Ruckers also. So it's it's const young adults. Sure.
So you know preventing people from coming into Glass. Much appreciated. I know you have a very diff difficult job. So I appreciate anything you guys do. I just, you know, have a little concern about my my boy's safety. I have no doubt.
So, we all understand much appreciated. I just know this was in two I have two boys in two different places which both there was things that happened before. I may for a point of order. I'm sorry, mary, but for a point of order, um I'm going to need to request because we've exceeded the five minutes, I'm going to
need a motion from the de to extend uh your time. I'll make a motion to relax that time. So, second statement. Okay. I have a motion and a second to relax time. All in favor state I. Opposed. Any abstensions? That motion carries. I'm sorry, sir. Miner, the only thing the other thing I
would like to add is this report right here. We meet every Tuesday morning. We go through every single call. We have gone after um landlords because that's where the parties are. We are trying to make it harder for the parties. As the
chief said, kids are coming in to go to these parties. We've so far issued this year 21 notices, 10 first time, 10 second time, and one final where we're trying to move to revoke license. I guarantee you we will get sued, but we don't mind
spending the money to try to control these parties and make it safer. I feel your frustration. I do. And to the chief's point, can we stop everything? No. But just know that we we are the burrow is on it. Much appreciated. Thank you for Thank
you for the time. Genuinely appreciate. Just to to say that mantra will continue forward. Uh we are very effective. our officers uh and everybody involved in in trying to mitigate these issues are very
very proactive and very very successful. Um as new things pop up, no pun intended. Um we adapt and conquer to coin a phrase. Um again we're very successful. We're proud of what we do. We are equally as frustrated and the
safety of your kids and our kids and every other person that's in the burrow glass burrow is absolutely the most important thing to us. And the last thing I want to make sure I'm clear on this was just the burrow. I'm not speaking for Rowan University and what what we spoke to them taking. Okay.
Yeah. Great. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Thank you very much, sir. Good evening. I'm Kevin Kent. I live at two Snowfield Drive. Um I am the vice chancellor for student life and deina students at Rowan. So to your point, um we are very committed to this process as
well. Certainly I echo what the what the council is saying about the Glboro Police Department. Kudos to them. Fabulous job. They they work well with us and we are very appreciative of their work. Uh our police officers are the same. They're working diligently and and
trying to assist as well. So we're very committed to holding students accountable. We get reports uh from the bureau uh every week about uh what what Ed Melandro is talking about those violations. We get those we hold them accountable for the code of student conduct as well. So they're not only
being accountable to uh the laws but they're accountable to the code of student conduct. Uh we certainly are very appreciative to that. Um one of the things that that's happened and again the outside folks, you're right, we we can't control necessarily coming in. One of the things that is happening is I think we've done a great job of helping our students understand we don't need
outsiders coming in. And so when they're telling them they can't come to their parties, they get more frustrated and then they kind of just linger in in Glboro. So we are very committed to the solution. We're very appreciative of the collaboration we have. Uh we have so the the public knows we have um regular
meetings during the month where we have conversations about these very issues uh and talk about things to the to the woman who talked about parking and or not parking but traffic. Uh you've been heard by the university as well now. So you I'm listening to that. Uh but we we
appreciate the collaboration. We we certainly uh provide resources and support to Glassro to help with uh your efforts and and we're proud to do that. U so anything that we can do to help. We want the community to contact they can contact me at the university uh Dina
students or Kevin Koet at rowan.edu. Happy to hear those concerns. But thank you for your partnership. Thank you for what you're doing. Uh really appreciate it in these tough times and we're committed and and here with you in solidarity. Thank you. Hello. Uh my name is Lucian Santoro. I
