substance to report on just yet for the finance committee uh right now the finance department is closing out 2024 we've just started receiving in the individual Department's budget request for 2025 uh so when those numbers are fully in the committee will meet with the CFO and we will start the budget process for the year uh so that's all I have mayor for now thank you councilman you're welcome okay Department of Public Work is councilman Bo okay uh the BPW responded to two emergency calls for a total of 8 hours Christmas trees will still be picked up on curb side on Thursdays throughout January leftover residential Christmas trees can be also brought to the DPW Yard for recycling snow and ice removal days per burrow code unless otherwise posted on even number days no parking on the even number side of the street and on odd number days no parking on the op number side of the street uh the 2025 DPW information guide with pickup dates has recently been mailed out you can also see it online on the website and that's all I got I want to talk call Greg up real quick excuse me Council what was the snow again they didn't we wrote that down wrong I apologize that was yeah there was no oversight on my part maybe we should restate what it is so we don't confuse the public yeah I do you remember exactly how it is I know it's one side I don't remember you don't park on the odd side the side matter to day it doesn't matter right we start off we don't park on the outside and then it's 2 hours after the snow after it's over after they plow yeah it's 2 hours after the stor is over they have two hours after the storm is over to move to the even side so we can come and plow the outside yeah once the outs side is ploud they move over yes they got two hours to move to the clear side right cuz uh otherwise no if it's not PL yet no point in moving the cars yet you got two hours yet to move it once they PL so I asked uh Council Bo to let me come up and speak uh you want to touch on the recycling program that I initiated last year when we went from single stream to dual stream wanted to let you know the results so unfortunately when we made this change is when we had the short full of recycling trucks and we're only running two trucks most of the year so I'd like to thank all the residents and governing body for being patient with DPW while we transitioned through that in the purchasing of new trucks and now we're fully operational uh with that being said the cost savings that we incurred was pretty significant this year as you'll see in my budgets we saved on average 50% with Botts and cans by switching um by switching to dual stream we eliminated a lot of excess waste and jro Dan recycling was charging us $150 a ton for stuff they couldn't recycle so by doing this we eliminated that and also by having the cardboard separated and clean we generated a positive revenue on average of $1,000 a month that's great so if you combine the positive Revenue plus the savings we average the 65% cost savings for the entire year of 2024 that's excellent you have a dollar on that it was 40 and like $52 to $53,000 excellent this is for the recycling portion of the sanation just the curbside recycling so $53,000 in savings yes that's significant yeah the operating budget was about $40,000 and then and change and then there was about rough roughly $122,000 positive revenue from just a hardc excellent and we hope to increase that number a little bit next this year by installing a cardboard compactor in our recycling center cuz it'll keep it up perfectly dry and will maximize our loads so we won't have to transfer the dumpsters as frequently as we do with an open container maximize the volume because they charges $250 per transfer and that cuts into the cost of the Cuts in the positive Revenue we generate from collecting clean cardboard that the kind with the wire Bill no that's that's only done in commercial applications this is going to be a fully enclosed dumpster and attached to it is a hopper that's about 4 and 1/2 ft high and you can dump it in there and it has a hydraulic press that pushes it into the enclosed dumpster and it keeps doing that until it's full then they just the the hopper stays permanently a fixed to the ground and then the company will come and just remove the dumpster and swap it out with with an empty do we sa because they're coming to us bu yes that's how we'll save more money we'll save more money because there'll be less trips and it'll definitely keep the car 100% clean cuz right now with the open containers some of it's getting wet stuff on the bottom probably stays wet from the water hitting it never is able to dry out and again it's also flued even though we have a machine to push it down we can't push down as hard as a compact will look don't worry way to spend the money you Sav yeah I was going to ask how much compactor costs the compactor when you uh what do you mean Ken in 16 years that truck will pay for itself now we saving 50,000 bucks I uh I working on a deal with jaredo where he can let us have it for free as long as we let him change out the dumpsters interesting yeah this way too you don't have the maintenance on it and if we ever cancel the contract he'll just take it back talk to the purchasing agent please and make sure we're follow yeah we will um and I'll have everything in writing as well um yeah and as you'll see in my budget requests I have as to have the funds that weren't used this year allocated for our tree budget so we can get more trees taken care of and fulfill the needs the resident needs great now last time we had that Resident come up and talk about the trees you still had a considerable amount left in the tree cutting budget have we used it yeah so the savings that we had can authorize it to to be moved over to the tree budget and we got a lot of work done at the end of the year we actually had a $41,000 PO generated between what was left in the tree budget and what was left over from Recycling and we are finishing up that PO right now with a lot of trees so that's what helped take down those trees over by pass your funeral home and a bunch of other trees we had found quite a few trees that were split down the middle in front of people's homes from storms and we had those removed and we're still working through through it we probably got another week or two left on the PO and then we'll start fresh again with a new budget this year all right good so uh that's great uh well done Greg really this is amazing stuff with the tree cutting budget specifically we were tracking that over the last two years when we were lowering the budget amount that was allocated to it because it wasn't getting used so maybe we need to look at what an entire year and Ken we'll do this we'll look at what you really need as opposed to what our historical spend has been I mean it's really the best way to to work a budget what you really need what have you've been spending so it looks like there's a little bit of add of wackness if you will on on the tree shade budget trees we'll talk I guess yeah trees trees in general in a whole need a Healthy Trim every few years and it's it would be a huge financial burden to try and do the whole town at once so you just do it in sections or as needed especially with storms coming up yeah I guess what I'm saying is in Prior years and maybe this is because you're the arbor specialist right we weren't as diligent in taking care of the tree so the budget was just sitting out there not getting used it was coming back to town so we don't give as much in the next year and it happened for a few years in a Rowe budget was always used every year ran out no it was not it was not what years did that happen when that president was here the other day or last year we identified there was a surplus in that budget even with the reduced amounts over the last two years so I mean that first time hearing this it was right here at the podium when the person came with the with the car I remember when but I didn't know we were affirmatively said we had money left in the budget for the right for right but we usually use it every year and run out since i' since I've been I've depleted it told nothing good cuz in Prior years that's not been the case I mean we were looking at the numbers to me this is my third year on the finance committee and I know this has come up every year so this for the last couple years we've had that discussion so I think it's time now to look at what you're using what might be needed after you got an influx here it sounds like you found some money somewhere else that came in I'm not trying to pick on the tree shade budget by any means I mean seems to be underfunded more than it's uh you know wor year though were there a lot more treeses taken down this year I I well the the ash B bur B sorry um which is an insect devastated a lot of the ashes in town so that accounted for a lot of the removals in in our town as well as uh Oak plight that's another one that affects oak trees so that one that was all like coolage and Lincoln yeah that's all the Oaks so there was an oak plight that went through our town and while it's actually been going through the whole East Coast so that also accounted for a lot of it as well is there any revenue and other recycling material besides bottle scans and cardboard like Electronics uh construction material I know for myself I bring my used motor oil and the filter too I didn't know you recycling filters so the used motor oil program is sponsored by Union County um we do benefit that through the recycling Grant but we don't actually get any money back um like quarterly or anything like that we we get the benefit of recycling in our town like I said through the recycling Grant um they SP they pay for all the materials and the setups and the publishing um it's countywide every town joins that program um as far as e-w goes we're talking few hundred bucks a quarter so it's not a huge influx um same thing with textiles uh bulk waste there's no there's no money to get from there that's strictly out of the pocket expense um but yeah I mean the the more we recycle the more we find ways of recycling materials the bigger our recycling budget would be to help offset our operating costs I think you even wanted as far as styrofoam too right remember we used to not do styrofoam and now no this first year so we'll see uh we won't see that number in our recycle grant for two years because every Grant is two years behind thanks Greg that was a great job yes you okay anything else no thank you councilman Department of Public Safety councilman and estra thank you mayor process of

right bar attorney uh good evening mayor I don't have anything to report this evening okay thank you uh Barrow administrator on January 14th I attended the pios training uh the Union County infrastructure inspection passed for the infrastructure grant that was the roof rep placement as well as the installation of the water fountain um and because of that installation we will be shortly we're going to start touching up the paint and giving the uh giving burall a little overall refresh uh the administrator okay so I'm still on boarding with some of the state and federal agencies because I can give them my information but I have to wait for them to approve but uh can help with that with as far as Sage goes but I still have a few out there pending but that's going along as expected we have a gif Safety Committee uh safety committee meeting that's going to be on the 28th we're going to go and do a 2024 review and for 2025 we're going to review our objectives goals and and discuss Wellness ini ises that's all I have I have a question do is there training or something that all council members are supposed to do yes you ordered that in case we need to do any or somebody's missing something be able to make that up I'm going to discuss uh at the JF committee meeting with that and we can probably assign you and I'll you'll probably get an email if it works the way it used to work when I was here it's just a matter of me sending you the email information you can log on at your leisure so it's not they do have live training but it seems to be that the web based training works out better so this way you know if if you're up late at night and you need something to do you can sign on spend 45 minutes half hour and do the training offline and it'll record it I um yeah if I know the name of it I'll because there's a lot of things that come through I'm like I don't know what this is I'm not opening it if you open up a well I'll send you an email to let you know what's coming once we have yeah once we have the meeting I'll I'll I'll know myself know yeah what it's going to come from and uh cuz it's not the same provider was when I was here before so ironically what you're saying is the best practices that they teach you in the link that you won't open because you don't know what's from pretty much yeah and uh where I work they have they have a fishing thing but still I don't know where it is it even gives you this is you don't normally get this is from outside your District or whatever like a warning so I'm like I'm not open it yeah I will definitely give you a heads up once I know you know more details myself okay thank you Laur I have one thing too we had our Rotary meeting today and the I went on JC promotions website and it said May 18th but not confirmed almost every town said not confirmed how do we was going to bring that up we were going to discuss that this evening we're going to discuss that we can discuss it now actually um the Street fair street fair and there's also there has also been conversation about possibly having two street fairs one in the fall and one in the spring I don't know how everyone feels about that um but we should pick a date for May um is that we know we definitely want to do and I'd like to know what what's that that's the available date we have that's the only one okay that's it is everyone good with May 18th I'm good with that it's the week before Memorial week everyone May 18 good Sunday everyone okay and does anybody have any thoughts about having conversation about doing something in October I like the uh caret out stuff that we're doing if it can be maybe either combined with some of that I wouldn't want to not do that we do have a lot well we we would the carve it out is separate and the Halloween events are separate this would be no not the not the Demario stuff like uh I don't what were we talking like an October Fest kind of a celebration we yeah we used to have that it was actually really nice because no one does street fairs in the fall and it kind of was fun to have something to do and um sort of get out before winter um that doesn't cost the burrow anything right do we make well that's a I think our our chief of police is going to weigh in on here L I've been doing 30 years originally was in October it was pushed earlier because people put better weather daylight daylight I think it would have to do with the daylight DPW cleaning up my concern is this if we do Implement another Street there uh that is a financial burden to what I'm looking at right now for overtime okay that's something we have all right so that's a conversation that's consider so let's put that on the back burner then uh for now so we we don't want to spend money we don't have for sure all right so uh the the street will be May 18th got it all [Applause] right do we have a rain date or do we um I let we get a rain date it's like either it rain if it rains we we don't have promotions is already booked every Saturday Sunday weekend yeah if R so we're going we usually have beautiful weather for the street fire every year we do yeah make sure it's real wood now um my understanding is that the burrow is not allowed to make any money off this but we are allowed to at least break even so um I guess we would have to calculate what we need to charge vendors or whatever to to cover overtime DPW I I I think that's a really good conversation to have and I think that the street fair should not cost the Barrow any money so um it all goes to JC promotion I mean is there a is there a conversation that we can have with them about about and and perhaps the chief could sort of give us a budget of of what it costs the Barrow and then we can see we allocate so much of our overtime specifically these for certain events across the the year right that specifically because we're looking at a usually 10 officers right for a full day that's a very big uh amount so we kind of try to incorporate that part our budget um Ken and Lisa wood have always been very good about letting us know where we're at with our budget but I know a big portion of it is selected put aside that DP I'm sure DP DPW too all right so can we have conversation about this can we get is it possible Ju Just to get a number I have submitted in the past so then if we have something concrete we can maybe have a conversation with JC promotions mayor I I estimated in the past at the end of that month uh what it cost specifically for Street Fair overtime Carnival over time that would be uh notated in the notes finan office so have specific number all right if you could maybe provide that to the yeah May um events like these are more you know to bring the community together it's never been considered a revenue generator um JC promotions does pay us a a fee a nominal fee Ken I don't mean to put you on the spot but I remember last year with that no it was it dropped down it dropped down even more yeah cuz when we first started this I I $600 but I got to go back and check cuz when we first started this years ago I believe we were around 8,000 and then it dropped down to five yeah I I for some reason I have the number $2,600 on my head from last year and but I will talk about I mean perhaps we can just revisit this uh contract with them can't um we could do a 50/50 or something we're my understanding like you said we're allowed to at least break even and recover our cost maybe we could do a little something alongside what JC's doing to to generate to offset a little it's tight times you super 5050 condu 5050 we we are not registered with the state for that if there was another organization that wanted to do that say the fire department who has a registration million in them used to do it we did it as a town years ago well they probably weren't allowed to do [Music] it just because you did it doesn't mean are there other are there other companies that we could well to like I possibly possibly this late in the game that may be a consideration for to reach out because at this point in time they're already booked up yeah do do we already have their their agreement for the year no not yet okay right now we're just looking to secure the date because we've been using them for the last um I don't know 8 years 10 years I mean the street fair is very nice yeah but if there's ways that we can reduce our costs [Music] great okay is that [Music] all I uh I don't know when we're going to be talking about the parking lot the it's going to come at the end we're already going to talk about it [Music] send M we have some downtime with the fire department we use your license to generate Revenue burrow you'll get it and then that is a burrow sell ticket that oh you have your own thing oh all right that would be in competition always something all right you could run a raffle and then donate it to the burrow get the license

houses gone but they do say the wildlife and pets to it's just so sad staggering it's awful my prayers and thoughts go out to them absolutely it's like six times larger than the Chicago Fire It's see an aial of it a they have arrest at least four people so people are manually setting these fires so at least four have been arrested setting fires I don't know if they initially started it or they're continuing it it's the worst time because it winds hurricane Force WIS uh I just thought of something I wanted to point out I watched the New Jersey channel in the morning and the newest carjacking somebody was getting gas and of course in Jersey we don't we don't pump our gas but I the guy got out and was talking with the attendant I guess he knew a car pulls up the person got out of the passenger side crawled opened the door jumped in the car just as the attendant was taking the nozzle out and pulled away with the guy's car so that the car that brought him pulled out first he pulled out and the guy was standing there you see him crawling on the ground wasz the person getting gas was standing by the pump talking to whoever you know he evidently knew him so it had to be a neighborhood because you wouldn't get out like you know your people that you get your gas from so they had to be trailing this guy so I'm just saying keep your eyes open make sure your your car when yeah when you're in the car make sure they're locked at at a light they'll open the car door and that's the end of it just drive older cars they didn't want that helps to that's my way that helps too was it it was a red thing I leave the keys I couldn't believe it crawled right into the car so just be careful was that in Jersey red B oh red they use that creativity for yeah yeah all right if there's nothing to else to be brought before the B Entertainer motion to adjourn motion second motion made by councilwoman J D persono second by councilman scures uh all in favor than [Music] [Music]
