Speakers shall be notified when their time has run and no time extensions shall be permitted.
>> All right, Joe B. >> Joe Bones, Colts Road. Good evening, mayor and council. All right, so I've been spending a lot of my free time reading through our town's codes and ordinances. uh not because it's more fun than Netflix or
reading a shampoo bottle, but because I believe educating yourself is the first step in serving the community. I'm developing a much clearer understanding of some of our town's hot button issues. And as always, I'm here to be solutionoriented. So, I have some suggestions. Uh number one, replace the
mobile home rent control board with a uh landlord tenant advisory committee committee, excuse me. Uh there were already discussions regarding dissolving the mobile home rent control board. I'm grateful to the council for choosing uh to not do that. Our renters need a local place to seek guidance. Uh but there is
room for improvement. The landlord tenant advisory committee will keep the best elements of the mobile home rent control board while adding new language uh that oversees rental related matters and advises residents more broadly. Uh here's a few key elements from Monontlair's committee. Uh the landlord
ten advisory committee shall monitor and engage in ongoing review of rental housing issues in the township and make recommendations to the council for the approve improvement of rental housing accommodations and conditions. Uh the committee shall be authorized to respond to inquiries from uh tenants and
landlords, provide information regarding their rights and obligations and direct parties to appropriate sources uh informations and assist assistances uh including mediation services. The committee shall not provide legal advice nor engage in formal dispute resolution process. The committee may adopt
procedural rules subject to approval by the council. Uh it then goes on to establish the bylaws of the committee which of course how will determine on their own based on the needs of our residents. Number two, establish a dedicated non-emergency formal complaint hotline. Uh we need a straightforward
system uh that makes it easy for residents to file legitimate concerns. Whether it's code violations, quality of life issues, or other non-emergency matters. This hotline should give every resident the clear option to track the progress of their complaint from start to finish so they can see that their
voice is being heard and acted upon. Other towns in New Jersey have successfully implemented dedicated hotlines or online portals paired with case tracking numbers. Howell can can and should do the same to increase transparency, accountability, and public trust. Uh number three, uh Howell can
benefit from fully implementing and strengthening our chronic nuisance property ordinances, also called CNOs, uh or as we call them, excessive consumption of municipal services. Excuse me. I can go over there. uh their main goal properties that have
ongoing issues like crime disturbances or code violations hurt the safety, health, and quality of life in the area. They also waste police and city resources on repeated calls. The ordinance holds property owners or people in control accountable and provides a way to fix or shut down the
worst offenders. It's often paired with a three- strike rule. The ordinance is triggered if a police or code enforcement must respond to a specific uh issue a number of times, often three times within 6 months or a 12-month period. We already have a foundation with chapter 136. Uh we can build on
that with stronger tools. I have examples of specific language from towns in New Jersey for the attorneys and town manager to review. Uh we should uh strengthen our enforcement by tying these measures to landlord registration and licensing. Towns like Avalon and Waterford Township. uh let the town
suspend or revoke a landlord's rental license for repeated violations or if they don't fix the issues in a timely manner. This gives the township real leverage to hold bad actors accountable and protect our neighborhoods. Lastly, I've printed existing ordinances uh from other towns that have successfully
banned uh data centers for this council to review. As we revise our master plan, it's crucial that we act now and preemptively add strong protective language. Howell residents are already struggling with high energy costs and unchecked overdevelopment remains a constant threat. If we're not proactive,
we leave Howell exposed as big tech's next potential victim. We must protect the long-term health and character and natural growth of our town. I urge the council to seriously consider these suggestions. I'm happy to petition for public support if needed. We need to give our residents a clear path to
participation and use every available tool to hold bad actors accountable. Some previous council members who no longer sit before us uh may have left the back door wide open on some of our rules and ordinances, but I have faith that the mayor and council that are
currently in office will take steps towards closing it. My only goal is to be of service and support those who are truly going to do the same, which I think are you. So, thank you very much, Paula. Good even good evening. My name is Paula
Samurrell. HAL has been my home for many years. I raised my children here and today my daughter is raising my grandsons in one of its neighborhoods. I'm here tonight not to talk about what I don't want but to talk about what I do want. I want to live in a neighborhood where streets are treelined, not
carlined. I want a community where children run and play, where fathers teach their kids to ride their bikes, where mothers stand together, sharing the wisdom it takes to raise kind, respectful adults. Lately, I find myself worrying more and more about safety. I worry about block views at
intersections. I worry that a child will be will get hit by a car driven by those that treat our streets like parking lots instead of a neighborhood where people live and children play. I want to peacefully go to sleep at night and not worry about being awoken by sirens because a neighbor's house is on fire. A
fire that could spread to my home and my family because work was done by unlicensed contractors without permits. I want transparency and my fundamental right to feel safe and secure in my neighborhood. On Thursday, June 4th, at 10:30 p.m., I feel I felt that that
transparency was non-existent. I observed four utility trucks and a crew working on a ground transformer on Sammy Drive and the power was out. When I walked over to the scene, I overheard crew members who were replacing the transformer discussing that a child was
lucky that he had not been electrocuted when he stuck a utility flag marker inside the transformer box. I heard that the child was brought somewhere for medical attention. When I asked a neighbor who lived close to where the ground transformer
box was located if the boy was okay, they casually said, "He's fine. Kids will be kids." What I also found alarming was the lack of a police presence. I immediately called them. They were completely unaware of any activity on Sammy Drive. When the police
arrived, one of my neighbors and myself, we gave our statements, but it seemed like they were just being put aside. The lead officer told us he was simply taking the word of the crew chief who labeled this routine maintenance and there were no reports of any injuries.
Having worked for JCPNL, I know that transformer replacement at 10:30 p.m. at night is not routine maintenance, but is performed when an emergency arises. The fact that statements by residents that observed the scene and that had gotten
confirmation from a reliable source that a child was hurt was disregarded in favor of the utility company's narrative is deeply troubling. This lack of transparency forces me to ask, are we establishing a precedent where safety incidents are quietly
dismissed? If so, the ramifications of our community are severe. We must acknowledge to young children that these high voltage electrical boxes should not be tampered with. Our town and our utility companies have a responsibility
to educate new residents on the dangers of these transformers. Furthermore, we must address the persistent use of unlicensed contractors and electricians, which also pose a preventable threat to the safety of our homes and families.
Hal is more than a town. It's our home. Wanting to live in a safe, orderly, and quiet neighborhood is not too much to ask. I believe our fundamental right to feel safe and secure in our home is being threatened. Whether it's by those who knowingly ignore ordinances and
safety protocols, those who are ignorant of them or those tasked with oversight, who fail in their fundamental duty to enforce the law, and those who fail to notify the public of possible safety issues, all are putting our resident
lives at risk. I am confident that the mayor and council will take the necessary steps to address the following critical priorities. All re renovations, alterations, and building of any kind are inspected to see if permits have been issued and are being constructed in
accordance with strict safety and zoning laws. The chain of command will be followed to alert the public if there is a threat to public safety at any time. Perhaps the mayor and council can find out what happened on June 4th. And I welcome your feedback. Thank you so
much. Anyone else from the public? >> Good evening. Rory Mars from Lemon Road Howell. Uh, I come here tonight with a concern and a question. I saw I think it was two meetings ago. Um we are now
again considering um dredging Lake Louise. And my question is why? I have lived in this town for 60 years. I have um fished Lake Louise
for most of those 60 years because I live I lived on Locust Avenue between Echo Lake and Lake Louise. And when I was a kid, there was nothing really to do in the town but ride your bikes, climb trees, and go fishing. And that's what we did. And we grew up enjoying it
to the utmost. I come here today to tell you, if you dredge this lake, you are destroying a resource that you don't even know you have. There are over five pound bass in this lake. There are
pickrol that are 26 in long and several pounds that for this part of the state are unheard of. Perch up to three or four pounds. Catfish over five pounds. This lake is full of fish. I showed your
engineer uh yesterday or day before uh pictures that I had on my phone from a night that I spent out there fishing. I was out there for an hour. one night and I have a bass boat and I have fished from here to Canada and I have fished from here to Lake
Okachchobee just last September for two weeks out on Lake Okachchobee which is awesome except for being harassed by the alligators. But Lake Louise is full of fish. There are turtles out there older than me. There are malard ducks that
nest there every year. There are various other there's swans out there that people don't even know they're there. This lake is a gem. I realize we just had the fishing derby at Echo Lake this past weekend. And kudos to the township and the committee because I didn't even
know we had this committee and I didn't know we had this for the kids in Howell. So kudos to you and the committee who put it on. This is what I want the kids in Howell to enjoy like I enjoyed growing up because Lake Louise is
probably with all the I've fished Lake Hartwell which is one of the big lakes for the Bass Masters series. Lake Okachchobee, same thing. I have fished all over the country including Jamaica. Okay, if I'm out mowing my lawn like the
mayor used to do, I'm out fishing. Okay. So, this lake needs to be looked into. It's a very expensive um thing that we're looking to do, probably up close to a million dollars to have this done. And the money could be used for a whole lot of other things
like more fishing derbies for the kids and things like that so they can enjoy what I enjoyed growing up because between Echo Lake and Lake Louise, they were the best. I grew up swimming there, catching snakes, catching turtles,
fishing. This lake is an untapped resource that you don't even know you have. Thank you. >> Anyone else from the public? >> Uh, Zachary Dorner, 25 Southport Drive. Good evening, uh, Mayor and Council. Uh before I begin, I know this was brought
up uh during a NASA meeting, but I just wanted to keep urging uh y'all about any proposal for the future about AI data centers in Howard Township. While these facilities may have promised economic benefits, they come with significant
cost. Data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity, place the additional demands on infrastructure, and can have massive environmental impacts to last for decades. They also require large and end industructural uh style buildings that
may not fit the character of our community. If we really want to protect the character of Howell, we cannot allow this. They can go in Newark or Trenton and build it there. They want but not in Howell. Howell has worked hard to balance growth with preserving the quality of life that the residents
value. Before proven project of this skill, we should ask whether it truly serves the long-term interest of our township. And I encourage the council to put residents, open space, and our wildlife and environment first. Thank you. >> Anyone else from the public? How you doing? My name is Santa
Lombardo. Good evening to all. Uh I live across the street from the house that most people have been talking about at Princeton and Darian Road. In 2011, I moved here on 911. I got held here for two days because of what happened. And
two years later, I built an addition to my home. I was given all the trouble in the world doing this addition. They said I had to be 13 feet from where my addition ends to the property line of my neighbor. So
I went by those rules. This person that lives on this corner house is nowhere near 13 ft from the neighbor's property line. And nothing's been done about it. All I see is illegal employees. I call me legal employees building this thing and they
did it in two days. Two days. From what I understand, my neighbor who whose property is attached to this house told me he got a garage permit. And there's no way on earth that that is a garage. They tell me that you they're going to
use it, from what I hear from neighbors, they're going to use it as a girls school. This is residential. This isn't a place to have schools. there's on this block is what I'm trying to say. You know, I'm a little nervous speaking. I hope I make myself a little clear. I
work for the county. I've been through every town in the county. I do all the traffic lights for Mammoth County and I've never seen anything like what's going on recently here in How. I've been here since 2001. My wife begged me to come here and say
my my peace. I love Howal, but to be perfectly honest with you, I don't want to move, but I feel like I'm being forced to. And I did a lot in this town, and I'm being that's how I personally feel. I feel like I'm being forced out. And the town to me,
sometimes I get the the impression that they don't care. They don't show the respect to the people who've lived here all these years. I pay a lot of tax here. A lot of tax I pay. And I don't deserve someone just coming and deciding, hey, you know what? I'm going to build this and have it built. How
come nothing was ever done to stop this? I know the code. He's got a house and he's got this, whatever you want to call it, school, whatever. The code doesn't permit for two buildings that size to be on that property. It's illegal. Okay?
And nothing's been done. Even my neighbor who lives next door complained that he's not 13 feet away from his property line. But he continues doing what he wants to do. He continues going. He's he was there actually tonight doing what he want to do. They insulated the the thing. No garage gets insulation.
They got no garage door. It looks like a school. Okay. So, if they want to fool me, they're not going to fool me. They want to fool you. And apparently it seems like they are because it was permitted to do and nothing's been done about it. So I'm a little upset about it
and I hope some get gets done. I don't mind someone doing some as long as it's on the legal side. Okay? Not illegal. I I went through hell to do my addition, but it seems like this person could do whatever he wants and nothing gets done
about it. Okay? And one day, I just want to say one other thing. My wife and I and my daughters, we went to a party and my neighbor across the street told me he saw two, whatever you want, residents from
Lakewood, civic Jews, whatever you want to call them, walk into my backyard, open the fence, and check out my property. Called How police. They did nothing about it. That's disrespecting a person who's been paying all this tax
money for over 25 years. I feel like I've been crapped on part of my English and I'm upset about and that's all I have to say. Anyone else in the public? I am see Anyone else? No, I am seeing none. So, may I make a motion to close
public comment? Motion to close. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I >> I respond to public comments. Mr. Gross. >> Yeah. Um, in reference to, I guess, all a number of uh, comments surrounding our
zoning, the the community should just be aware that we are in the process of doing some zoning reviews and their their concerns will be taken into consideration when we go through that process. Um, I'm happy to say, Mr. business. The
vast majority of the things that that you mentioned are already either in place or being put in place. I'd be happy to I'm not going to go through them one by one here, but we'll have conversation and I can I'll fill you in on that. But these are all all all of these are are
certainly areas. A couple of them we were talking about yesterday. So, um about about how to implement. So, I'll I'll be back in touch with you on that with all the specifics. In reference to this issue, uh the June 4th issue with JCPNL with the electrical problems. I
I'm not aware of that. This first time hearing about it. Um we'll certainly look into it and find out the the background. Contact JCPNL as well. Um see what we can find out about that. That's what happened. Caitlyn,
>> the I think John covered uh Manager Gross covered all of the the matters I was going to say. We do have a contact at JCPNL that we can reach out to and see if we can get more info on the the June 4th incident for you. Um
I I don't have any information on the Lake Louise issue. >> Oh, you know, I should have. Um there are no plans currently to get it to do dredging in Lake Louise. Um mostly because we don't have money, number one.
And number two, uh it was brought up at a a previous meeting as an area of concern which we committed to look at it to see whether or not it was something that that needed to be done or if we could do if if it was necessary. So certainly appreciate the comments here tonight and those will be taken into
consideration. But as as of as of this time, there's there's no active project on that. So, >> Ian, >> all right, Mike, >> uh, just to circle back on the data centers again, we hear you. We're on board. We're working on legislation
looking at adjacent towns to create ordinances to ban AI data centers. Uh, as far as the non-emergency formal complaint hotline, that's something, correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Gross, is going to be included in Gov Pilot roll out the software where there'll be a
portal um that'll be easily accessible. You take out a ticket, you'll be able to look at updates. So, so it's a lot more streamlined. >> Y >> uh just to circle back on the um fishing derby that happened last week, that's the Baxter Fishing Derby and it's a
yearly event. It's been in place quite some time. The Baxter family actually uh started this. Um I will say that on our on the health the official website will list every month and sometimes even
further out events that will occur. Um and I urge you to look at the website out in front of the restrooms. There's a coffee table by the sofa um that is usually fully covered with flyers of things that are about to happen in the town, things that are happening, events
that you should know about. So um you know, I urge you to keep track or keep checking on that as well. And of course, anytime that you're not certain, feel free to call the clerk's office and they can give you dates and times. But the Baxter Fishing Derby um is held and
jointly our alliance uh group has a very active role in that. Um uh it and it's always well attended. The children love it. It's really nice to see the parents fishing with their children. It's always a very very nice event. Um, just
secondly, um, if you've been in the town any length of time, I'm sure you know Till's, um, flower market, which is on Herbert'sville Road, not far from Blue's Junkyard. Um, last Saturday, they had
the grand opening of the flower market. It's a new owner. They've made um, lots and lots of improvements. site's beautiful uh very wellmaintained. The flowers are gorgeous. They're doing some stone uh you know, the walkways and
whatnot. They've expanded what they're offering. Um I urge you to take it. We have a lot of places that sell beautiful flowers. But this is something that just reopened and so I urge you to take a peek whenever you're in that neck of the woods. I think you'll be happy to just take a little walk through there. And
it's always nice to see things that are actually grown here. And they do. they grow the things in the adjoining field. So, it's pleasurable to see that you're living in a community that sells what they actually grow. So, you know, I urge you to see that as well. Um,
I think for now that's it. Thank you, >> Deputy Mayor. So, nothing. All right. Uh, Joey B, we'll we'll look into your ideas and your solutions. we'll take it into consideration, but just uh
understand it has to go through legal first and I will make sure what you said tonight we will look into in regards to other towns and we we've done that in the past. You know, for some reason in some other towns certain things are on the books because they've never been
challenged and then c some towns try doing things and then they're challenged so we it could cause an issue. So we will look into it. Thank you for uh taking time away from your Netflix and uh researching. Um Paula, we'll look into that. Okay. Mr.
Gross gave you his word. Mr. Mr. um Zachary, sorry to inform you of million watt data centers going on Southport Drive. All right. Just kidding. Just kidding. All right.
I just want to get everybody a little laugh a little. Right. It's always so stuffy in here. Um, >> Mr. Morris, there's no talk. Yeah, this we don't even know. You know, there may have been some kind of suggestion about dredging Lake Louise, but we're not. There's no nothing in the budget on
that, sir. The bridge and the surrounding area was all redone a few years ago. Yeah, I passed that every day. It's a beautiful area. It's a great spot to fish. Um, I think it's a lot better than uh Echo Lake. It's just the accessibility there is not as easy as
Echo Lake because Echo Lake has parking more. You know, there's no parking there except on the side streets. So, I would keep that under wraps anyway because if you like catching those big fish, they're going to get taken out of there if more people start going there. So, just a just a suggestion. Um, >> good point,
>> Mr. Santo. Uh, I suggest after the meeting's over, come up and and exchange uh information with Mr. gross and he will gladly um give you our township engineer and our building department bosses. That
building sir is in 100% compliance to what our zone current zone is. So just don't we don't need to go back and forth. It's an accessory building with setbacks height height the height and and the setback. Let them explain to
you. Mr. Gross, please, you know, pass it on to Justin Yos because they've done this with a couple other neighbor neighbors in your neighborhood. Ensuring you that it's in compliance to what our current zone ordinance is written, even though a lot of people don't like it.
It's the size of the lot, it's the set back off the house, the height of the roof, all that stuff that's involved. And I agree with you, putting an addition on is a major major um project to do in not just our town, every town with all the inspections and and all and
all the the red tape that you got to go through. I agree with you on that, but that's just the way municipal government is. So that's it on that guys. Nice quick meeting. Nobody flipped out today. That's great.
So seeing no further business Oh, wait a minute. We do have resolution. >> Yeah, I jumped ahead of myself. Ow. I'm sorry. I want to go watch a Yankee game. Um, >> we're going to vote on consent agenda items. Does anyone wish to separate any
consent agenda items? I'm seeing no. >> Mayor, if I might just announce that there uh just for everybody's information, there were two uh late add-on resolutions. They are 20A and 201B. Um and they are approving
memorandums of understanding. One is with the uh TWWU union and the other is with the teamsters. >> All right. >> So the um so then it would be uh resolutions 20 uh 26195 through 26201B.
>> May I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve resolutions R26-195 through R26-201B. Second. >> Councilman Nadell, >> yes. >> Councilwoman O'Donnell, >> yes. >> Councilman Rubel, >> yes. >> Deputy Mayor Fischer,
>> yes. >> Mayor Leio, >> yes. >> There's no unfinished business. There's no introduction of ordinances. So, here we are in conclusion. Our next regular schedule meeting will
take place on June 23rd, 2026. Executive session at 6, regular session at 7. I encourage our residents to get involved. Come here and speak up with your concerns. We want to hear them or you could call the town and go through the
proper channels. It doesn't matter to us. I like to see everybody here, as many people as possible, because it makes the night go faster. And I think being involved is very important if you want to uh be engaged on what's going on in our town and maybe help be the
solution to some of the issues that are going on in town. And you know, the the more voices that are heard is just better. And uh we need to stick together as a community. This this governing body represents everyone in
Howell Township like I said at the last meeting. All right. You folks have a nice night. Motion to adjurnn. >> Second. >> All in favor? Thank
