the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible and with liberty and justice for all all right so I appreciate all our board members coming out for our meeting even if our professionals didn't feel like joining
us this evening um so that being said our first item on the agenda is review and hopefully approval of our February 13 2025 minutes oh but before we get into that I want to welcome Ken to our board who is over here including this
spot thank you so much for joining us welcome welcome okay so looking at our February 13 2025 draft minutes I'll take any comments for corrections or really comments from the board members
anybody okay there's a bunch of nonsubstantive things in there lack of a period lack of a capital i suggest that I go by and see Marine tomorrow and go get it done i agree with that there
are a couple of uh there's a few typos I had as well um on page three in the third paragraph this isn't a typo so much as a I guess a fixing of the sentence it's the fourth sentence in the
third paragraph it says the first is a Google map that shows each photo of the first that the photo was obtained i think that means to say that shows the location from which each photo was taken or something similar
um and then in line 13 on that paragraph there's an extra is on line 21 it says 40 seers instead of 40 seats um I'll just keep going with my notes anyone who else has got more notes can jump in on page four line eight from
the top it says presents with an S earlier it's presented D and then one two three fourth paragraph down again it says 40 searing places instead of seating places i'll give you my highlights
it's okay no and then on page seven at the end of the first paragraph it says uh from 40 seats for the restaurants to 80 seats for the building it should be 40 seats for the restaurant so each restaurant will have 40 seats so it's a singular
not a plural so those were my finicky comments about the February 13th meeting notes and you know any additional grammatical modifications Allan can propose I think we can all agree would be more than sufficient so if anyone has anything
else anyone yes i recuse myself but then the voting um I think technically I abstained voting as opposed to not being very good
okay so we will switch Matt to abstained on the vote okay anything else speak now all right other than that I will solicit a motion to approve the minutes as amended and as will be
further amended by Allen's uh recommendations as to grammar punctuation and so forth approve motion is there a second second second by Allan we'll take a roll call please mr chin yes
mr hale yes mr ho yay mr lares yes mr mle yes mr pearlman i wasn't as Mr sturo yes mr williams yes miss H yes
okay i think Mr ho has I was just about to say we're we're gonna also make a little note here that Mr ho I don't think you were with us at that meeting either so we're going to just shift your vote to to I was saddened by this decision
all right taking notes see this is what we're here for this is why we gather all right next up we have memorialization of resolutions and we have before us resolution number P20 025-02
uh memorialization of the action we took at our last meeting designating block 1704 lots 4346 and 49 as uh areas in need of redevelopment with
condemnation uh with that I will make a comment on I will make a first comment about the proposed resolution on page two poor Chris has been butchered his name is Christopher with an H not Christopher and and the firm name
is Looney Rick Kiss with a K not an R and then as technicality on page three at the top there's the word apart as a singular but I think in the context of that sentence
it should be a space part as in a part of the top of page three so with that are there any comments by any other any members of the board on the language of the proposed resolution
page four the where it says U Ma versus Township of West Orange is that is that a standard reference it is the correct I can't verify as we sit here that that's the correct
citation to it but that is a correct formatting of a citation to case okay yes yes go ahead though I was not here last time uh I do note that on page
three in the seventh full paragraph um I believe that's the third full sentence it says he knows that burl owns lots 4243 i think that's an error that the girl does not own lot 43
wait you say page three page three yeah page three very bottom of page three oh okay i was at the top second line up 43 is the class building I believe yes that's that is definitely correct so we should remove 43 from that list good
catch something else do we want to use the word uh rubbage in the middle of the page oh yes so there is there is the word rubbage in the middle of the page which while not technically incorrect is probably not the word that was actually
meant to be there um you have a suggestion for a replacement rubbish rubbish there we go rubbish or debris but we can go with rubbish instead of rubbish [Music] yes that's fine
all right anything else last call all right with that I'll solicit a motion to approve the language of the resolution of memorialization second okay we take a roll call vote
please mr chen yes mr h yes mr h abstain mr l i think I abstain on this one mr mle yes
mr pearlman yes mr stern Cornell yes mr williams yes miss Ham yes okay next up we would ask our uh zoning building officer but he chose not to come tonight um does anyone on the board
have any discussions on any prior matters or anything else they want to talk about tonight anybody okay with that I'll open up the meeting to members of the public none of whom came in person tonight shocking anyone at home want to play along no nobody at home all
right then with that I will close the public comment portion of our meeting and last chance y'all came out nothing else you want to do all right I'll solicit a motion to adjurnn motion to adjurnn is there a second second all in favor
