2
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:40.640
is the public comment period. Is there anyone in the public that would like to speak to the commissioners? It's it's now or forever. Hold your peace, Walford. >> No, you say I just want to be sure there are public

3
00:00:40.640 --> 00:01:00.399
comments right now >> right now. >> So, I'm speaking out first, >> but you're speaking for five minutes. Um, >> you just >> just come up here, Walter. >> Come on up. You mean to sit?

>> Yeah, sit on that. >> Sit. >> Well, thank you. >> I invited you. >> I'm honored. Did you hear what he just said? >> Yes. >> Did you hear that? Did you hear all hear that? There's a record. >> I don't listen to it, Curtis. >> He said, Walton is fine. Still busting

5
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:32.159
your chops. >> Get that on the record. >> Yes, Walter. >> Okay. So, I thought, ladies and gentlemen, I thought it was a great skirmish. I love the skirmish. I love it every year. I think the organizers do a great job. The bird does a great and and

6
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:48.560
for me it's a great day of smoozing and so I I love it for that reason. And the puppeteer I thought pretty much stole the show if you saw the punch and Judy thing. And there was also another puppeteer that another day I can't remember when.

7
00:01:48.560 --> 00:02:04.560
But I just wanted I just wanted to say that to put you all in a good mood. >> Thank you. That was two weeks ago. The other part. >> Yeah. Okay. Right. And and the but the skirmish was Saturday, right? I'm not sure about these things. Uh anyway, when

8
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:20.879
I walked into King's Court, I'm just going to tell you a story. I walked into the King's Court on skirmish day. I heard this high-pitched screaming and I I just like a sound I never heard before and it was coming from the other end of the gaze of the other end of King's Court from where I was at the gazebo.

9
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:35.680
And I what's going on over there? And I so I walked over and it's these kids, little kids, and that's why it was so high pitched. They're squealing with delight at this Punch and Judy puppeteer. He was I didn't see a show because I couldn't take my eyes off of

10
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:53.280
the kids. Anyway, it was wonderful. So, while I was at the skirmish, I'm uh ran into somebody uh who is present in this room and will go unnamed and thus he chooses to selfidentify. said, "Oh, how have you been? You know, is you

11
00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:10.280
okay?" And I said, "Yeah, I'm fine. We we never see you around. Why don't you uh why don't you come around? Come to the burrow meetings, you know, and stir things up for us a little bit." And I thought, "Okay."

12
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:27.440
>> So, here I am. >> Just your presence. I said, "Stir things up." All right. >> Okay. So, and I I really am not interested in stirring things up. Am I on on the clock? >> Yes, you have three minutes. >> Okay, I've got two topics. So, can I divide them and come back?

13
00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:46.239
>> Okay, get to the thing. Anyway, it's nice to be missed. So, uh so I I want to talk about a police incident and u or I should say an ongoing police problem. And I am not

14
00:03:46.239 --> 00:04:01.840
going to complain about our fine police department. I know a lot of the officers from 20 years ago when I had very very very favorable experiences with the police officers. Some of you might know about them and uh

15
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:18.880
so I would never complain about our police department. But uh but lately I I think there's a need for more I guess the essence of what I want to say is there's I feel there's a need for more police presence visible presence on on

16
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:36.080
King's Highway and in King's Court. And that's because of the bicycle situation. Because I'm old. I'll save the story about my 95year-old friend who got scared by a bicycle on Walnut Street in Center City.

17
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:52.720
She He didn't hit her, but she was walking on he scared her to the point she fell over, broke her hip, and she never came out of a rest home. And you know, and she was a spry old lady, and she was 95 walking around. She was a She

18
00:04:52.720 --> 00:05:09.360
was a typical Philadelphia old-fashioned Philadelphia walker, but it ended her life pretty much. So, so I thought, "Oh, you know, poor frail old lady." When I was used to go for walks with her, I Oh, don't fall. Don't fall. So, >> so how long have the bike? Any specific

19
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:25.360
incident? >> So, what >> any specific incident that brought you here? >> Yes. Yes. And it was a series of incidents. But but you know we as you all know I hope office I hope you know there's there's a problem with uh

20
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:41.840
electric bikes doing their wheelies up and down the street up and down the sidewalk back and forth in King's Court un you know seemingly uh unbothered and uh so

21
00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:57.840
so you know one of them went by me then they go you they got the big guy you know he's meeting and then the kids following along. So I said to the last guy who's going along, I said, "You know that's illegal." And I just said that as we was passing by and he stopped. He said, "No, it

22
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:13.840
isn't." I said, "Well, yes it is." He said, "Well, no it isn't." So, um, y'all know what I'm saying? I take it. So, I said, "Well, come over here and let's look at the sign." And I go over and I show him the sign. It says,

23
00:06:13.840 --> 00:06:30.000
"No bicycles, no skateboards." I said, ' It's illegal. And he says,"No, it isn't." So, while we were talking, then his crew circles around and they come back and they all come swarming up. So, they're, you know, all around me and

24
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:44.000
then they they start taking issue with me and giving me some grief. And so, so that was the issue that that I hear about. So, the next day I went to our new new police station. I missed the uh

25
00:06:44.000 --> 00:07:01.680
open house, but fabulous and everything. Said, "I'd like to talk to Chief Cutler." And she said, "What about?" And I said, "Well, it's a it's a matter that I would like to talk with the chief about." And she said, "Well, he's he's unavailable. Would you like to talk to

26
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:16.160
an officer?" I said, "Well, yeah, okay. I'll tell him." And she said, "It would be officer Walker." I said, "Oh, fabulous." Because I've had interfaces with Officer Walker. I think he's a fabulous policeman. So great. So he came

27
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:32.240
out and uh we talked in the little lobby there and so he understood. Okay. And he was going to talk to officer Lever and uh and then I happened to run in a couple of days later because it's a small town. I happened to run into

28
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:49.440
officer Lever and in Acme and I said, "Oh, by the way," so I told him about it. "Oh, I know you." So I got this broad brow and I think he's a fabulous officer too. So uh I know it's a big problem. I got lot

29
00:07:49.440 --> 00:08:05.360
lots of empathy and a lot of sympathy and you know it's I'm an old man and I understand to our attention. >> Yeah. Okay. You're >> what's the next thing >> to your attention? >> Well, you're not aware of this. >> I just you have the two issues. So not

30
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:21.199
the one. No, I mean we could talk about this. We you'd rather hear us talk about it than user you may do what >> can can I have time on what he just said >> you've you've already used up your five minutes is what we're trying to tell you

31
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:40.240
so we're trying to give you more time second to your second item >> what's your second item >> well additional item incidentally parenthetically I don't like to be rushed is that okay with Is Is that okay with Is that okay with you? Okay. Well,

32
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:55.360
give me a break. We'll give you propriety and you got five minutes. We're giving you much more. >> We're giving you much more. We need your second issue. >> We need your second issue, Walter. >> I'd like to read about this in the second. >> Walter,

33
00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:12.360
>> don't yell. Do not yell at me. Do not dismissed us and I'm trying not to dismiss you. >> I am not dismissing you. >> Mr. Clark, you're turning away and talking to the reporter. Stop it. What is your second issue?

34
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:37.600
That I love Hadenfield. It's a pleasure working in such a gentile town. Hang on, let me find my place. I wanted to go into my into my uh high esteem that I have for

35
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:55.120
the police department. And I simply wanted to ask for more police visibility downtown with great respect for the great job that Officer Leick is doing currently. And I see him occasionally, but I have

36
00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:11.519
to say very occasionally. And and I won't fault him. I'll I'll fault you know how he is scheduled and that there's only one officer. I think we need more officers on foot visible downtown so that so that our residents

37
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:29.760
can feel that they are safe and secure because right now and anytime I mention this to an oldster, oh I know they're horrible, you know, and they hate it. I'm just Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes, >> you can make the

38
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:46.800
>> Yes, Captain. Obvious. Yes. Okay. >> I got >> Okay. So, should I wait my turn for the next topic? >> You have your second topic. >> Yes, you have. Come on. The second topic.

39
00:10:46.800 --> 00:11:06.079
>> Okay. It's just a question and it's a question that was asked of me and I don't know the answer and so I'm just passing it along and um why is the 4th of July being celebrated on the 3rd of Jul? I mean, I'm sure it was a decision

40
00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:23.440
somebody made and I don't know who made the decision and I would don't know why. And and and you know, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn, you know, when the thing is, but you know, I think it's nice to have the day that's called the 4th of July. On the 4th of July, if it's

41
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:38.320
possible, >> it's a special year. It's the 250th celebration of America's birthday. We live eight miles from the birth of America and in the late fall and early winter it was highly suggested to all

42
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:55.279
the mayors of all the municipalities in Camden County to make accommodation for the celebration in Philadelphia. So we talked about >> in Philadelphia >> in Philadelphia on the 4th. So basically give deference to the celebration in Philadelphia on the fourth when we started to try to contract with the

43
00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:10.560
reenactors the celebrations trying to hire the mummers everybody's booked for already for the 250th anniversary somewhere in early spring some of the programming changed because of changes

44
00:12:10.560 --> 00:12:28.240
to the president shifted from a Philadelphia celebration to a crazy wrestling when putting them, you know, on the right house floor. So, all the events shifted that way, but we had already been well down our path or preparing for July 3rd, which was what

45
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:44.639
the as was the late fall. So, we continued on with the third because we had already hired lots of things, some of the entertainment, we had already hired some of the things for our block party. We had already booked the drone show. So we kept the third instead of shifted back to the fourth where the

46
00:12:44.639 --> 00:13:00.560
dates all changed to Philadelphia >> and and even uh Washington notwithstanding if you look at the events for the fourth in Philadelphia it's all day barbecue cookout uh live band something else and then

47
00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:15.600
fireworks at night. So I think just with close proximity, I think they're anticipating a lot of people from the suburbs that live local were having in Philadelphia. To Dave's point, they were encouraging people to just kind of realign it to allow people to enjoy that

48
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:32.320
in Philadelphia and not cannibalize from your own people attending your own event. >> Yeah. >> Spread our belts a little bit too. So Cherry host the second. So they're celebrating on the second. At least the third is the national holiday because it is the it's the work with the fourth >> but we're better than Cherry Hill.

49
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:48.480
>> Oh, I'm just saying everybody everybody in Cam County was asked to try to give deference to the celebration of Philadelphia. What should we do? >> We're extending the celebration as long as we can. So we'll have the third, the second, the fourth. We'll throw something on. >> Yes.

50
00:13:48.480 --> 00:14:05.120
>> So that's the answer. >> Yeah. Well, there is something on agenda. Yeah, but not the fifth. >> She wants to plan the fifth. We're not planning the fifth. >> Yeah. No. So that's why because it it was a it was a regional ask. >> Well, thank you.

51
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:19.519
>> You're welcome. >> I hope I hope the sun publishes this because, you know, it's not something I wondered about, you know, and people on Facebook. Yeah. What the heck's going on with the burrow? Why aren't we doing it on fourth and yeah, what's with the go?

52
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:35.760
Well, thank you for coming for everybody who get the answer because nobody else actually asked. >> They could just ask each other, listen, sit in their echo chamber or you can do the right thing and come and ask us, give me a straight answer. >> So, we're good about my second issue.

53
00:14:35.760 --> 00:14:52.079
>> That's your second issue. We just answer that question. >> Okay. >> The first one we have to talk about, >> but thanks for bringing it to our attention. >> Well, >> as facitious as you want that statement to be, it's very sincere. >> Thanks, Paul. I know the difference. Okay. Well, thank you. Is this live?

54
00:14:52.079 --> 00:15:08.160
>> Nope. S. Yours is in your meeting. >> Was I being recorded? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Oh, and I I did have one more thank you. >> This is not yours. Oh, >> this is S. >> I I did have um I did have one more thank you to give you and I and I I know

55
00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:24.000
all of you personally and I've talked to all of you personally and and I'm talking to the city commissioners and and you you have all spoken of me and you've spoken well of me. And I just wanted to say I appreciate it. Some of you came to my birthday party and I really appreciate it and and I'd ask you

56
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:40.320
to say nice things about Hadenfield. Some of you even said some nice things about me which I I want to just if I haven't already personally thank you. Thank you. And if I hadn't haven't told I did put a video of the of the party up and those of you who weren't there uh I

57
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:56.560
did I did include what what what you wrote for the party on my videos. So, if you if you search on on YouTube, just uh just do a a YouTube search for a Hadenfield party and you'll see the party come up and then you can fast forward to

58
00:15:56.560 --> 00:16:13.040
>> It was a nice >> It was a nice party. I got a poem out of it given to me. >> Yes, that's for another day. And you know, I don't like to talk about >> because you're so modest. Thank you. >> Thank you, mother. Thanks, mother. >> Is there anyone else in the public like

59
00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:28.639
to speak at this time? I'm sorry. >> I asked if anyone else in the public would like to speak at this time. >> Seeing none, >> seeing none, is there anyone online that would like to speak at this time? >> Thank you.

60
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:44.560
>> Thanks, Walter. See you, Walter. >> Seeing none, let's move on to our very short agenda. You have two items to talk about in uh for the use of public property. The first one is our annual Halloween parade.

61
00:16:44.560 --> 00:17:02.639
um that has been ongoing for decades. It is always the night before Halloween. It comes down King's Highway and Celebration handles it. The second event is a lawnside company has requested to host a popup event in King's Court on July 4th. We did have a further

62
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:20.640
conversation with them today. It is an online company. They are just trying to get um attention to their company. They would be selling flowers. Um they basically people can walk up and there's a cost per stem and you can make your own bouques. Um they when they found out

63
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:37.440
that none of our events were going to be on the 4th, they would prefer to pick another day if you will allow an outside company to come in and sell a product. So you know we've talked about it. If you do want to allow it, we can find space on the third if you're interested

64
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:53.919
in it. If you're not interested in it, then we'll just tell them no. >> Have they thought about going I mean there is already a flower bouquet maker at farmers market but I mean we had two coffees at the farmers market plus behind the coffee and we usually have

65
00:17:53.919 --> 00:18:10.559
more than one vegetable place. Have they thought about >> I I don't know. We will be happy to connect them with the farmers market. We just they reached out to us just to try and have an a popup event to expand their name so people knew they were out there.

66
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:26.080
>> Is the gazebo in the roster of recreation or rentals? I don't think so. >> No. >> No, it's not. Right. So, we don't have a mechanism to actually rent out the space >> other than coming for an event here. >> Other than coming for an event, right?

67
00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:44.000
>> Right. >> Other than coming for an event. You mean like you're >> asking requests to come to the commissioners for to do something >> for space and use up of public space. >> Okay. >> Should that raise a point. Should the gazebo be added?

68
00:18:44.000 --> 00:19:00.880
>> Well, that's a good point, but just >> we we can look at coming up with a fee for the gazebo. It doesn't necessarily have to be done through the recreation. That would be more of a general fee that we could put for the general budget rather than but we don't have a fee for use for we don't have a fee for the use

69
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:17.200
of this building or anything like that. I mean that's something we can we've talked about doing. >> Yeah. >> Um we just haven't at this point. >> Yeah, that's a tough one because the market right there makes bouquets. Uh Acne sells flowers and that's and then

70
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:32.480
sone is right behind King's Court. >> We have multiple floral shops. Yeah, we have multiple floral shops. >> Do they have a Hatfield? I'm sorry. I mean, >> no, no, no. Go ahead. >> Yeah, it's a good point. We're just all riffing on it. >> Do we have a Hatfield connection? >> No, not at all. They're in Longside.

71
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:49.520
It's again, they're just looking to do these in different locations to get their name out there. >> Yeah. I mean, I would steer them towards Ralph and and the farmers market first and if he gets a no or whatever, I mean, they can come back and think about it. That's a tough one, though. The location

72
00:19:49.520 --> 00:20:05.280
is not it's not the selling flowers. It's it's the location in such proximity to a florist. Right. >> I don't know if the one on on Ellis Street is actually opened anymore. >> Yeah. Just got um is it? >> Yeah. Just got

73
00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:21.520
>> No, I know there was one across the street. I just thought I had heard that the one on was closing. >> Maybe he's not open all the time, but no, I just got problems. >> I'm thinking about it. I agree with Dave. I think the way I'm thinking about is one, how is it going to impact the existing floral shops that are in our

74
00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:36.640
business improvement district? So like obviously want to think about them and two, but if they have a lower price point for things. So like some of the flower shops actually you can't order anything less than $100. So if you're just looking for a bouquet and you want to go so like if they have lower budget

75
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:53.840
things, maybe that's okay. Well, again, this particular popup, you would set your own price point because you would be picking the number of flowers you want in your bouquet. >> Like five stems, five bucks. >> Yeah. Something. Well, it was I think it was $3 a stem.

76
00:20:53.840 --> 00:21:12.720
>> So, three step >> depending on the flower. >> Everything costs anymore. So, we'll be happy to put them towards the the farmers market first and see where that goes. >> All right. Thank you. Um, the next item is the draft agenda

77
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:28.320
for the end of the month. Frank, you were not here when I talked to the other two. Um, we are adding a proclamation also for the recognition of the Hadenfield. Um, >> thank you. I was call I kept thinking it

78
00:21:28.320 --> 00:21:44.400
was flower group. >> Great name. The >> the garden club is celebrating its 120th year. It is the first garden club in New Jersey. >> Okay. >> So, um they are going to be sending us more information. We're going to be updating their proclamation from their

79
00:21:44.400 --> 00:22:00.240
110 and uh invited them to the meeting on the 23rd. >> Are we going to also read out the centarian at that meeting or is that just a proclamation? >> We did not ask you guys could certainly do that. I could

80
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:20.159
>> call them out the centurion if you want. >> Sure. You're okay with that? >> I'm okay. >> Yeah. Right. So, I add that to the agenda, too. >> So, obviously, um, for your agenda, you have the burrow

81
00:22:20.159 --> 00:22:35.760
budget hearing and potential adoption and the hearing and potential adoption on the business improvement district. You also have um second reading on the special improvement district, first reading on the solid waste changes and then some

82
00:22:35.760 --> 00:22:53.679
general uh resolutions. The one resolution pulled to your attention is that the um annual DOT grant application is due and after reviewing a number of roads with the engineer, we are recommending

83
00:22:53.679 --> 00:23:11.039
Glover um from Grove to Evergreen because um it is the lowest rating of the five streets that he had pulled. So, >> can you do it in the summer? >> Yes, we would work to to do that when school is not in session. Is that a PSO

84
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:27.480
or is that non-over? >> Um, I believe it's going to be a PSO, but I'm not sure. I would have to check with him. >> Let me get a passenger on that. It's a really short run, >> but it's heavily trafficked to some degree.

85
00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:43.280
>> All right. >> And it's it's listed as a 21 right now. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Six houses. >> Yeah. >> Uh, question. Mhm. >> So the timing of the So the solid waste

86
00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:58.799
first reading is about um bulk trash changes and that stuff, not the trash cans. >> Correct. >> All right. >> Um it talks about trash cans in there and limiting it. >> Oh, limiting the number of cans, not the automated

87
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:15.120
>> can. Yeah. But um but I think the cans we can put in there. Can you can you put a clause in an ordinance where only one section of it is taking effect at a later date than the rest of the ordinance? >> We can phase it. >> Yeah, because we want we want to phase in the bulk as soon as possible. That

88
00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:30.559
way we can start to see what effect it's going to have. >> Yeah, we can phase. >> Um but the trash can portion would not take effect until September. >> You want to do it by zone or just by date? Really phase I mean we can phase it is the answer. >> So my question is right from a timing standpoint but we talked about it. We

89
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:45.760
would have first reading. We'd get bids back. We know if the request for the arms are there, which would be that second, >> which we still are. We still will, but your arms are still not going to take place until September. >> Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. So, what

90
00:24:45.760 --> 00:25:02.000
happens if like all the bids come in and it's we can just limit the number of cans. We can limit cans are no matter what is is really what the question is because I didn't think they were. I thought they based off the bids. >> It's based off the bids. >> Yeah. But the bulk changes >> bulk changes we want to make regardless.

91
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:19.039
>> Yeah, regardless, right? Oh, that I just want to make sure that we're not >> Huh? Nope. You're >> that we're not amending. So that the phasing question is right. But what happens if that second phase doesn't come to pass? >> Yeah. So why don't we just Why don't we just introduce the ordinance for now? We're going to I think bids are due in

92
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:35.760
like the second or something, Diana. >> It's ear It's the first week of of July. Yeah, it's like the first week of July. It's right after uh 4th of July, I think. >> Okay. The bids are going to be in. We'll be able to know before you have second.

93
00:25:35.760 --> 00:25:52.799
>> That's what I mean. Yeah. We gank that whole section. >> So, we could just reintroduce. If we're not going to switch to the one arms, we can just reintroduce. >> Okay. >> Go ahead. >> No. >> No, I'm not you. >> Tier, >> did I miss this? When would the switch

94
00:25:52.799 --> 00:26:08.640
actually take effect? So bulk trash we would like to take effect upon intro upon adoption of the ordinance. >> So so yeah July beginning of August something like that. >> The one arm trash cans is only going to

95
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:25.279
be if the bids come in and the one arm is cheaper for us. >> Okay. >> Otherwise the number of trash cans we're not going to start supplying trash cans. So they would remain the same. >> Okay. So, >> so that would take place September 1st or October 1st depending on when we would be able to get the cans in.

96
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:40.720
>> Got it. Okay. So, we're sequencing. I understand. >> Yep. >> Okay. Any other question on that? >> Um, Alex is coming. Yes. >> Yes. He'll do do a little >> he'll do a presentation and he'll do the

97
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:57.679
user friendly budget presentation. U and it's only and I only ask that because by that presentation I'm okay with just reading by title only because we're actually having a presentation on it. >> Um and then the special improvement district by title only I've beat it to

98
00:26:57.679 --> 00:27:13.039
death on. >> Yeah. >> So >> it's the same budget every year almost. >> Well no it's it's more of a transparency thing about >> it's much huge. Yes. >> Why buy title all because they are just so large. We'd be spending so much money on paper just printing out these agendas.

99
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:28.960
>> Yes. >> Every item. >> Every item. Every line. >> We did it every line. So, >> these are special by title at least. Not >> Yes. >> Not by convenience. >> This is solely >> allowed in the statute.

100
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:45.760
>> Any other questions on the agenda? >> No. >> Okay. I have one item for PFA. Just a reminder, >> uh, >> I have to abstain on the pay vouchers part, so you two have >> good. >> Well, just on one item.

101
00:27:45.760 --> 00:28:01.440
>> Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to abstain on the whole thing. It just makes it easier. >> It's just expense report. I put in for parking when I was at the mayor's conference. >> Oh, got it. >> No, but I can't vote on it. But you have to vote on it so I can sign it. It's okay.

102
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:20.440
>> Gotcha. Uh when will they be ready? >> Day of >> Okay. >> We ask them to sign like want to sign. >> Yeah. >> Oh, the check for you.

103
00:28:21.520 --> 00:28:36.559
>> But you can certainly come in early and sign the the vouchers. >> Let me know when they're ready. >> Okay. Um, we do have one update for PFH. Um, the county and South Jersey tourism

104
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:53.760
have reached out to us and we are now participating in a 4T town event on July 19th. Um, where we're getting funding from South Jersey and the county. They have decided not to do the third day of their what was originally planned as a three-day event at the at Cooper River.

105
00:28:53.760 --> 00:29:09.520
Um, and instead are providing funding to Collingswood and Hadenfield. Um and it's actually Camden, Collingswood, Haden Township, and ourselves. So it's like the event on Haden. Um we are looking to

106
00:29:09.520 --> 00:29:25.440
close Haden Avenue from what I say in Woodland to um approximately Windsor. Um and that will be sectioned off into like a eating section, a drinking section, a watching section, and then off on one of

107
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:40.960
the side streets as part of the closure. We're gonna have like long games and stuff for the kids or adults to play. >> Kind of like the same game we're doing on the 19th of June. >> No, not quite that extensive. >> Oh, on the 19th of June. Um, probably. Probably. And I do know the soccer club

108
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:57.200
is also trying to get involved with the July 19th event as well. um >> for the aud for for the reporters June June 19th we're closing Kits Highway for the USA versus Australia match and as part of our football Fridays it's just a larger closure of

109
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:14.320
>> right >> um and so we are working with both those entities um as part of it Michael was able to secure an LED TV for both the June 19th and the

110
00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:30.000
July 19th showing >> that the countyy's covering for us. >> Um, >> and I'm lending the 15,000 projectives for the 12 >> um for at least June 19th since we're

111
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:47.520
talking about it. Jason did get um those shades, those triangular shades that we're going to put over the highway in certain spots, try and keep some people cool as we start to go through this nice heat again. Yes. >> Um but yeah, so we are working on all that. We will have a road closure on

112
00:30:47.520 --> 00:31:04.480
July 19th. Um and we think it's going to be a nice exciting midsummer event. >> Uh do we need to run public like do we need to do uh trash pickup extra efforts? >> Um we will have public works and that

113
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:20.320
will be covered as part of the cost that South Asia Tourism and Stuff is paying for. They'll be covering the police. They'll be covering the public works employees. some we also are doing like um around the world, you know, we'll we've he's sending out a letter to our local restaurants, but then we might be

114
00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:35.679
extending it to some other additional restaurants because we're trying to do an around the world food court type thing so that it's it's all ethnic based food um that you can go and kind of try. He has gotten um we're trying to find

115
00:31:35.679 --> 00:31:51.200
some musicians for things like that. So he found a yeah steel drum group um that we're gonna be bringing in hopefully. Um so just trying to make it a um and I know we were working on some ideas with him that he was going to try and take

116
00:31:51.200 --> 00:32:06.159
back to South Jersey Tourism to kind of have like a like a flags that people you know like a rally flag or something to try and have trying to figure out a way to tie all four towns in. >> Oh >> to try and do something. You know, there might be we talked we joked about a

117
00:32:06.159 --> 00:32:23.120
giant soccer ball like and starting it in Hadenfield and kicking it all the way to Camden. I don't know if we can get that one done or not, but you know, trying to come up with some ways to tie the event in all the way down and it rather than it just be four separate towns. >> Pretty clever. >> So, um that's their event. Uh we do need

118
00:32:23.120 --> 00:32:40.000
a minor what? Okay, we do need a um small close session. Um but other than that, that's all I have for the agenda. in close session or to get an update for >> correct >> and and I have some litigation updates but just all quick hits. >> Okay.

119
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:54.880
>> Um before we go into close because these are uh um Matt from the second Pennsylvania 43rd of foot. Um I'm a Navy guy, not an army guy. I don't regiment.

120
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:12.159
>> Regiment probably. Uh he um ran into me at Kings Road afterwards. Really nice guy. Young guy. He was requesting if there's any way that um because they usually send in 50 to 60 uh reenactors to this event every year. This is like probably the largest one

121
00:33:12.159 --> 00:33:28.159
that attends and and bring people here. He was wondering if there's any way they could have dedicated parking um close to Kings Havoc. They said that the uniforms are very heavy and you know often they have guns and you know whatever else with them. It'd be nice if

122
00:33:28.159 --> 00:33:44.320
we could do that. I said I'll ask the tele commissioner see if this we could do it and maybe >> so we have provided it in the past and they haven't used it. >> Okay. >> Um there was a little snafu with it this year. Um I'm not sure this is going to become an annual thing every year from this point forward but we will work with

123
00:33:44.320 --> 00:34:00.159
them to come up with a solution. >> Okay. >> There were 12 spots put back here >> but then the farmers market took them. So then Sharon created eight spots behind the mall. >> Okay. >> For them but they were all parked down here. So they didn't want to walk so far in the heat. >> Yeah.

124
00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:16.639
>> And then I wound up given 10 spots at my property of that grove and guys went down for guys and ladies. They went down to reenacters parked at my property because it was >> okay. >> I know my neighborhood was full, >> right? >> With a lot of them. >> Wait, what date? What was the date for this one?

125
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:33.119
>> No, no, this is in the future. Yeah, this is in future skirmishes. >> Yeah, but um that was one. Then the second thing did we ever come to or I guess what is our next steps with uh post and the

126
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:50.560
>> we gave them a we gave the foundation an agreement. Um when I gave it to Jack when I handed it to Jack I said my understanding is you don't want to own it and you're trying to transfer it to host. So this agreement should actually be with host

127
00:34:50.560 --> 00:35:08.160
then or so he was going to give it to John Rynisner and they were going to work out some details and see if there was going to be any any changes to it and I haven't got anything back. So Joe is involved in that, right? >> Joe >> um >> no who's involved in it right now is I

128
00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:25.920
gave the agreement to the foundation >> Jack >> to Jack. >> So but uh Joe Lavine Levine is for >> Joe. >> No Levine. So where does he because he is one who has found up asking if we've agreed upon where we're going to be

129
00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:43.280
putting the the >> foundation. It's it's it's not I appreciate Host's involvement, but the money is with the foundation. The decision has to be with the foundation. Okay. >> Until at such time as they turn it over to host. >> Okay. Well, he hasn't followed up in a while, but like I was just follow but

130
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:58.800
that's where it is. It's the foundation. >> Are you working with them or don't we now? >> He should be. I just talked to Jack Valley and Stewart. Okay. >> From host and they're good. The next step that any involvement for us is is a memor we gave the opinion of where it

131
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:14.160
should go. >> Okay. >> Uh the next thing would be a memorandum of understanding that they could keep it there for a certain number of years >> which is what they have >> which is what they have now. So Oh good. So >> so that they can maintain it and stuff. They have they have the agreement. It's

132
00:36:14.160 --> 00:36:30.160
It's just changed slightly from the one we did for the um zoo. >> All we did was change the words to make it fit this new location. >> Okay. >> So, they just have to it just has to be approved by the foundation. They have to sign it. It'll come back to us. We'll do

133
00:36:30.160 --> 00:36:47.920
a resolution and sign it and then if it transfers to host, we'll work out that. >> Yeah. And the last thing Stuart said was the artist knows they have the green light to start buying material. >> Yeah. So, I think they're moving forward. >> Okay. And a lot of faces like what are

134
00:36:47.920 --> 00:37:03.920
you talking about? There's a new art installation. It's a donation from the estate of a Hadenfield resident who who left in his will um monies to hire an artist to create an art piece at the library.

135
00:37:03.920 --> 00:37:20.000
And it is the shape of a wreath and it's really cool. And it has little crystals at the end of it. So during the day the light shines rainbows all over the pitch and at night it would have LEDs that we could do things like Phillies red and green or rainbows and stuff.

136
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:40.640
>> I did tell them your request to that it had to be raised higher. >> Yes. And they they accepted that. >> They Yeah, >> that's it. Anything else? All right. Any questions? Anything else? All right. Any questions from the press?

137
00:37:40.640 --> 00:37:57.119
>> Um statute mentioned you know when it will be put on what >> statute at least a long time they have to make it. >> Yeah. >> Um and then for the trash pick for the trash farm part of it. You said you have to wait till September because that's

138
00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:13.520
how long it takes to get the bid. >> No the bid for the tra we have trash services out to bid right now. Those bids are due in the beginning of July. We put in two different um options for pickup. One is the traditional pickup as

139
00:38:13.520 --> 00:38:28.960
they're doing it now. The second one is to be done with a a one arm truck. When we get the pricing back for those two, we will make a decision as to which one we're going to accept. If we switch to the one arm, then we will have to go

140
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:45.599
out to bid for the cans and the implementation of the one arm will take effect once we have the cans. So, it'll either be September 1st, which would be the new date of the contract, or October 1st, pending when we get the

141
00:38:45.599 --> 00:39:02.320
cans. >> There limit how much you guys are going to be willing to spend for change switching over to the wararm. If if the collection is going to be cheaper, significantly cheaper, then that will

142
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:19.280
weigh into their decision. We won't know until we get the pricing back. >> I imagine the price of the new camp would also play into that positive balance. >> Yes and no. Um because you're talking about possibly a significant savings

143
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:40.720
each year and the purchase of the cans is only once. You said um Alex will be presenting for the budget >> at the meeting. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Alex Davis, right? Um I just want to clarify as

144
00:39:40.720 --> 00:40:00.560
well. What are the road closures for the June 19th soccer event? St. Highway >> and then for July 19th it was Windsor to Woodland. Okay. >> Do you have a name of contact for the

145
00:40:00.560 --> 00:40:19.599
garden club? >> Uh I I have a contact. I can email you. >> Okay, sounds good. Thank you. >> I didn't one more question for public. Do you have is there um some u

146
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:35.839
procedure for removing people if they speak a word of them? >> Is it to do well? >> There's a politeness to it. He was the only one in terms of time like >> generally speaking >> don't want to set a precedent of of

147
00:40:35.839 --> 00:40:51.200
people just going on and on. Uh we do give some grace to some of our residents who you know it takes a little bit of time to get to the point and we're friendly with us. Uh but there's time in place and 15 minutes isn't bad. So

148
00:40:51.200 --> 00:41:07.119
>> and and to comply with the state statute commissioners adopt in their first meeting at the beginning of calendar year a time limit for each individual. So it's not no one can ever accuse them of an accu of a discriminatory policy of limiting certain individuals. So, it's a

149
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:28.160
standing policy which is compliant with New Jersey. >> And in ours, it's 5 minutes and then after everyone has had a first turn, you can get another minute and a half. >> So, that's seven and a half minutes and right on through. >> All right, I think we're going close

150
00:41:28.160 --> 00:41:38.560
session now. >> Thank you. >> Thanks everyone. >> Yes. No, just up.
