I. Councilman Carol, yes. Councilman Diaz, hi. And Mayor Gaines, yes. All right. And now we are moving on to our city manager report. If you can make sure your mic's on.
Thank you, mayor. I don't have a whole lot of new things to report, but I would like to say a few words. Good evening, everyone. First, I'd like to thank Mayor Gaines, Deputy Mayor Tumi, Councilman Carol, Councilwoman Clark Collins, Councilman
Diaz, and City Attorney Malageri for entrusting me with the position of city manager of Hackinac. I'm truly honored, humbled, and very thankful for this opportunity to continue serving this great city in a new way. I'd also like to thank my parents. My
mom and dad are watching tonight, and I definitely have to thank them for making me sign up for that firefighter entrance test back in 1983. That simple decision set me on a path that's led me here to here today, following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather, who both proudly served
as Hackinac firefighters. Cumulatively, that means that three generations of Freemans have been serving Hackinack for a total of 106 years. I'm proud to say that starting tonight, we're going to keep adding to that number. To my wife, Margie, and our
kids, Kayla, Tommy, and Nikki, thank you for always being my support system. You've stood by me through the long shifts, late night calls, and now this new chapter. I couldn't have done it without you. My deep appreciation also goes out to
all of my family members, young and old. Whether you are here physically or in thought, your love, encouragement, and support through every step of this journey has meant the world to me. I also want to thank the many other people who have supported me through this process. Your advice, encouragement, and
belief in me have meant a great deal. A special recognition goes to all of you who took the time to be here tonight to support me. It means a lot to see so many familiar faces and new ones as well. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with city manager
Caruso and many other outstanding city managers of Hackinack. Each of them brought something different to the table, and I can honestly say I've learned valuable lessons from every one of them. I also want to recognize the incredible team of Hackinack workers who keep
Hackinack running every single day. You are the ones who make it all happen. I've had the pleasure of working alongside so many of you during my 40 years with the fire department and I'm looking forward to meeting those of you I haven't yet crossed paths with. Finally, to the residents and business
owners of Hackinack. Your support has meant everything to me throughout my career. You've always stood behind me and the fire department, and I look forward to continuing that strong partnership in this new role. Thank you all. I'm excited to get to work. Let's keep Hackinack moving
forward together. Thank you, city manager. There are no reports of special committees tonight. There are no special orders tonight. Um, under unfinished business in general order, I am going to ask for our folks at Boswell Engineering to come
up, please, and share a little bit about um the status of the Johnson Park project. Thank you. Does this work? Uh Thank you, mayor and councel. Uh Mr. Freeman, Mr. Malageri. Uh my name is
Kevin Boswell with Boswell Engineering. Uh I used to be able to say I'm proud to say uh we've been in business for now 101 years down the road, but we're four years shy of the Freeman family over there. Uh my my reason for being here tonight,
pull the microphone a little bit closer. Uh my reason for being here tonight is to just briefly discuss the Johnson Park master plan as it's been uh developed over the past decade or so and to just
address uh there are actually two active projects u and uh we've been meeting with uh various uh members of the staff your professionals and going through the permits the designs the contracts and
what have you. Um, and what the um the mayor and council took action on tonight is the 75,000 square foot uh building. Uh to the north portion of the property.
Uh to the south is the um is an outdoor turf field. Of course, you've got tennis courts, pickle ball courts, and then uh an active project that is currently ongoing is uh can we have access to seeing what you're
going to Yes. Sorry. Hold on one second. Yes. So, hold on. Yes. So, what I'm going to ask is for the purposes of the camera so that people can get it if you can continue presenting this way, but then afterwards if you want to turn it around, that'll be helpful. Present this way and then Okay.
Yes, please. Thank you. Certainly. Thank you. Um and and uh what is going on is uh now is that there's uh it's a it's got uh historic fill on the property. So what has been going on is
that there has been uh raising of some grades, bringing in importing uh select material, bringing things up to uh minimum first floor elevations required uh pursuant to flood hazard area regulations by the D. uh some relocation
of some utilities and the end result will be u a series of parking lots across the property to generate parking for about 250 parking spaces. uh the area uh where the building uh
that's been suspended is as I said uh we're looking at if the mayor and council determine that another use would go there we would be looking to uh initially stabilize that area with top soil and seed in order for the mayor and
council to establish a policy decision of what they want to see in this area. By doing that effectively the uh environmental remediation uh concerns are uh addressed and the site would be
uh where the parking is the site would be effectively finished and where the building would have been would be stabilized from a perspective of uh environmental remediation. The other part uh that goes part and parcel is the
existing permits which were uh issued in order to allow for this construction to take place. We would address any uh field changes uh with the DP to make sure that the uh the temporary cap the
top soil seed area is properly uh uh approved by the D. But effectively it's a it's from an environmental permitting perspective it's actually a very straightforward matter uh whereby one area that was uh going to be covered by
a building with a minimum first floor elevation of 10 would now be covered by an outdoor use of some type with a minimum uh elevation of 10. So it from an from a uh it's a dimminimous change
from an environmental pers uh permitting perspective. Uh there are some details that we're working out with regard to uh there's some uh site lighting for the parking lots that we're working out with uh uh gentleman in in the uh uh
engineering department, Ryan Wester. Uh there's some utility coordination uh with public service uh and Violia. We're working that out. But again, uh what you will see at the end is you will see this
this newly constructed set of parking lots that would then be available for use by residents when they come on to the park and wish to use the park. Great. So, thank you. Thank you very much. And since we were able to get this up on the screen, um hopefully people are able to see the
presentation and then also it'll be available afterwards as well. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. All right. I need a motion to open to the public. I'll offer second. All in favor?
I I Any opposed? Any abstensions? Okay. All right. I'm going to ask if someone can just move the chart just to make a little bit more space for the folks there. And if any member of the public would like to come forward uh for three minutes, you can be heard. The podium is right here. Thank
you. Good evening. Is that mic on? Mic's not on. I don't think The microphone isn't on. There you go. Thank you. And if you can just state your name for the for the
clerk as well. Thank you, sir J. Toltoy. So, uh, most importantly, suspending the Johnson Park Sports Dome, which is and would have been a taxpayer wheelbarrow of money
out the door for years of bond interest payments and yearly skyrocketing maintenance contract costs. But mainly, it was for the family and friends of this previous admin. So,
we're glad to see that go and what the I think Hackinack, the county seat of New of Bergen County within New Jersey needs for its children, family, and community.
is a large amphitheater like in Turtleback Zoo West Orange where I go and visit my friend or when you go to New York City the Delicort Theater in Central Park, New York City because that's where everyone would benefit
youth, adults, and seniors because we never forget seniors. All right. Uh the second point I wanted to go over was uh this August 4th introduction of the second
uh pickup. We got a press release, Facebook, email, whatever. And it says, "Ease the daily burden of our sanitation workers. For me, let's start hiring additional workers." My tax money should go for
that rather than placing people and equipment on unnecessary two times a week pickup. New York City doesn't do it. Cedar Grove doesn't do it. Why are we doing it? At what price? Overworked
employees, broken equipment, and non-existent problems. That's additional city costs. We don't need that. As presently set, the city of Hackinac does not need to have a two a week pickup. On the days of pickup, garbage
is picked up without the need of secondary runs to finish the job. I say do not try to appease the children, families, and community or the city of Hackinack with gimmicks to
win applause, especially when the bills haven't been paid for because we're going to get to the accounting soon. Some service trucks are new. I know that by the sounds of their service, I know that they're new. I speak to them. And the word was used indefinitely.
I don't like that word indefinitely. As a teacher, we never like that word indefinitely. It presumes there's a assumes which you know what I mean when I say assumes that money is flowing when our strongest responders because we have
our other responders here tonight and we love them. They weren't respected by the last government are not compensated to the services that they were provided in the pandemic era. Pay them first before we jump to increased workload and maintenance costs in the city of
Hackinack. where zero interest payments of mortgages were pocketed by officials and elite lizard developers. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. You want to address that?
I'll do it at the end. No, you don't have to address it. I'll see you at the next. Hi, I'm Vicky Farhey. Do you need addresses or not? No. Okay. Um, so two things. The first is congratulations on the new city manager and on getting rid of that monstrosity
on Johnson Park because it was a really good move and I think the applause speaks for itself. My second question is I actually was the chair of the rec board when we first built a soccer field at Johnson Park. Is there still going to be an active soccer field at Johnson
Park? because that was done for the kids and it was an important improvement to that park. I'm glad there'll be more parking for it, but I want to know that the kids are still going to have that soccer park because soccer is a big sport in this town and the kids need to
have a place to play. Thank you. Thanks, Mayor and Council. Randy Glover Hackinack. So I just have two simple things. The first one is I'mma advocate for Tony Jackson to become the poet
laurate of Hackinack. So that's simple. The second request is that everyone here and the city residents give the city council about another 60 days to get their footing to really find out what
was going on. uh the other city council was in power for 12 years. It's going to take time for this city council to really, you know, unccloak and work past what was done and to move forward with their
agenda. So, I'm just asking the citizens of Hackinack to please give them an opportunity. Thank you, Mr. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, Donna West. Uh welcome, Mr. Freeman. I did not know that I would
have known your wife. She was my student teacher for a little bit. Yeah. So, I'm like, wait, Margie Freeman. Okay. Um, I also didn't get to speak to all of you at the high school because that line was so long. But, I just want to echo what was said that night and wish you all
just a wonderful, wonderful tenure. Um, like Mr. Glover just said, we want to give you the time, but we are going to still hold you accountable. Um, because we we appointed you and we elected you. So, good luck with everything that you're doing. I do have a laundry list. I want I was wondering if we could bring
back parades. Um, they were like the highlight when we were children. Um, I think it also would be a win-win for the businesses along Main Street if we could, you know, have parades and then people in town. Other towns do it. So, could we see how they do it and then perhaps bring back parades? Um, I don't
know how we can enforce fines for dog poop, but it is everywhere. Um, we have an increased number of dogs. I don't know how we can make the owners uh responsible for cleaning up after their pets, but it is really becoming an issue. I was also wondering if there's a
way um can you tell I've started walking again, so I'm exercising. Um but cleanliness around homes and businesses, how Main Street is dirty. I mean, it it's a mess. Um, and I don't know how we can enforce businesses or homes to uh
clean the area around there so that Hackinack as a whole just looks cleaner and looks better. Um, I spoke a couple of months ago and a couple of people did about possible speed bumps and speed hills. People are still racing through our side streets. And I would just like
to make sure that this council will work with the Bo board of ed to get our town a new school and more green space for our children. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening. uh Dan Kersh and um my father, may you rest in peace, would not
forgive me if I did not take this opportunity to congratulate our new city manager because his father and mine work together serving the city um in the last century actually. Um and
uh look forward to a continuation of all the city managers who have helped move Hackinack forward and working with you. I loved the things you said about partnership and moving forward together.
And I look forward to a new era where the city council, the board of ed, and all of the other departments and citizens are doing exactly that. moving forward as a partnership. We may not always agree, but we can always talk
about it and find ways to work together. So, congratulations and best wishes. Thank you. Good evening, Gary Weslake. Um, Mr. Freeman, congratulations and council. Uh, I wish you all the best of luck and I'm sure we're in good
hands. Just a question in reference to Johnson's Park and all the fill that they did down there. I'm involved with the scouts and we have one of the community gardens down there beds and just recently they ripped down all the fencing around and people were just
coming in and helping theirelves to the fresh vegetables that uh you know the everybody grows for themselves or really even to give to the food pantry. Um, but more importantly, I'm just wondering that hopefully that is something that could be put in a prioritize to get in
front of and actually put that fence back because when they did the grading of that new parking lot that was left, uh, they took down everything and and now it's a disaster. But if you guys can put that on the front plate, I'd
appreciate it. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else from the public? Seeing none, motion to close the public. All offer. Second. All in favor? I I. Any opposed? Any abstensions?
All right. Okay. We are going to move on to mayor and council comment. Deputy Mayor Tumi. Yes. Hello everyone and welcome and it's great to see so many people here for this special meeting to um we are very
excited to welcome Mr. Freeman uh our newly appointed city manager. We look forward to working together to continue making our city stronger, more vibrant, and even a better place to live. Mr. Freeman comes with a lot of experience
as you heard and I believe that he will continue to be a great asset to the city as he was in his prior um in his prior life here. Uh I would also like to thank our outgoing city manager, Mr. Caruso.
Thank you for your years of service here. We appreciate your dedication and commitment to the city and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. And once again, I'd like to thank everyone for coming out and we are here
for you. We are here to listen to anything, your comments, your complaints. Not that many for that for that though. Um your suggestions and your concerns, we are listening and we will do our best to get things done. Um
whether some people might like it, some people may not. and we can't make everyone happy, but we will certainly do our best. Thank you again. Thank you, Councilwoman. Um, just briefly, uh, congratulations to
Mr. Freeman. Best of luck to you, Vinnie. And, um, you know, thank you for your service and also thank you everyone for coming out today. Thank you, Councilman.
try to keep it short. Um, Mr. Caruso, I want to thank you for your four years of dedication to our city. Uh, you did very well. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Godspeed. You know, we're always here for you. Mr. Freeman,
city manager. Congratulations. We go back uh quite a long time. Uh, I think you're going to do the best and greatest job for us that you can and I wish you the best of luck and we're
here for you. You've heard some comments by some of the residents. So, you already started my list working started some work. So, I see that. Uh, I just want to address the Johnson Park issue. Uh, yes, we are addressing the
pit there. Uh we do want to make it a um a cheaper project. It's going to be a cheaper project and we're going to make it suitable for everyone, not just uh certain individuals um
from the past. How about that? And sanitation. I agree with you. Uh we did talk about uh the second pickup just talk about the sanitation the price. Well, it's on my list. So, uh, yes. So,
we're working with sanitation. Uh, we are trying to, uh, implement different strategies. Uh, I agree Main Street needs to be cleaned. Anderson Street needs to be cleaned. All our streets
need to be cleaned. So, we are working with the sanitation department right now as we speak to try and make things better for everybody. And that's it. Thank you, Councilman.
Thank you. Good evening, everyone. I want to take a moment to say thanks uh to Mr. Vinnie Caruso and express our gratitude for the job uh that you did uh for the last four years. We wish you the
very best. And Mr. Freeman, we are receiving you and giving you the welcome with open arms and high expectations. Uh based on your background and expertise, we are pretty sure that you're going to be a great asset uh for the city of
Arkansas. So, congratulations and welcome on board. And to you guys, uh thank you all for being here today. Uh thank you for attending this uh this uh special meeting in some kind of short notice. uh your presence, your support
is what makes uh Hackin Sackag uh very special. So, we'll continue to work together and move forward with all the plans that we have. Thank you so much and have a good one. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to try and be brief. I'm try try and be brief. So,
um so once again, I want to echo everyone's comments and say, uh Vinnie, Mr. Caruso, uh, thank you so much for four years a long time to serve and it's a relay race and thank you for, um, the way that you held the baton and for, um,
doing all that you can over the next 30 days to continue to pass that baton. Uh, thank you for your leadership and we wish you all the best. Um, Mr. City Manager, we are looking forward to working with you. Um, you know, the great thing about being in this seat,
we've all learned that it's about different perspectives and everyone gets together and we talk through things and try and figure out the best way to move the city forward. Um, we were all incredibly impressed by the perspectives that you bring and we know that you will uh be a great asset to the city as you
have been for the past 40 years. So, thank you. Um, I just want to address one thing with this annotation. Um, as as Phil said, we're going to talk about Johnson Park more over the course of time, so there will be time for that. But sanitation um is my favorite thing this
month um to talk about actually because we were able to increase the pickup with no impact to the budget. And I want to explain why very briefly. The biggest issue with sanitation is that one time a
week pickup resulted in overloaded trash cans. It resulted in overloaded trucks and a lot of our trucks went into disrepair because of the amount of tonnage that was being put on the trucks. Additionally, a lot of cans were
being broken and debris was spilling out into the street because of the amount of garbage that was being produced in homes. And so when we sat down and we asked our head of DPW, we asked our CFO,
we asked our city manager Vinnie at the time to look into this to explore it. They went back and looked at data from when we had one time a week pickup and two time a week pickup because we had both in the past. And they found that it actually was cheaper to do two time a
week pickup because if you're picking up more than once, you aren't necessarily generating more garbage. It's just lighter on the cans. It's lighter on the trucks. It's actually easier on the workers. Workers aren't getting hurt on the job trying to lift overfilled cans
that can't connect to them to the truck. So, this was kind of a classic win-win where it's a quality of life improvement and it's actually also a cost improvement for everyone. Um, so we are so glad that through partnership with
Mr. Caruso with the head of DPW um that we were able to make this happen with Jim that we were able to make this happen and realize that this was a common sense fiscally responsible decision that also makes everyone's um properties a little less stinky. So, we
hope that everyone enjoys and if you don't need the second time a week pickup, just put it out once a week. That's okay, too. Um with that, I'm going to ask for a motion to adjurnn. A motion. Second. All in favor? I.
Any opposed? Any abstensions? Okay. Thank you.
