project good afternoon everybody good afternoon afternoon so uh my name is Christopher barwi I'm a member of The Voice scaps tro 83 I'm a life Scout and for my Eagle project I am currently renovating the flag donation boxes outside of the American Legion building
and the BMW building that's awesome now part of this project is um I would like to install a new box and I was thinking a perfect place would be somewhere around this area the the this premises I come here seeking permission
to install this box it's all completely great can I ask who would maintain uh picking up the flags and everything you setting that up yeah sorry yeah members of troop 83 me and members of tro 83 will be uh collecting flags and then
retiring them at the so you're talking about the old flag box like they have at the VFW on 21st yes now like the old mailbox where you could put your flags in is that what you're talking about yes so I I refurbished those however I do
have a new box that we've re recently purchased I do have a couple handouts here if you would like mhm thank you yeah hand that for everybody cuz I use that often so uh the front page here is the
new flag box which we have oh okay purchased I didn't know they actually made one I thought they always used old um mailboxes well it's it's not necessarily A it wasn't a flag retirement box repurposed
it Chris I ask you to hand those to the cheap very well aware 100% make sure you see the type of box it is cuz I'm going to ask you from a public safety concern if you have any just with that being outside of our H is
this going to be indoor or outdoor this will be outdoor it's going to be permanently fixed into I guess ground do we have a spot for this um going to say B engineer any suggestions I with all the I have a question so it opens from
the top and you drop it in it's not a stot like this one yes so how the mechanism works is you open the top and then a floor is kind of fix to that top roof so when you open the top you can place your flag in there and then you
close it and it falls down to the bottom Bock okay good yeah that's I was thinking what would prevent it from getting wet or something yeah are you going to embellish this with any painting or anything oh good we plan to put decals and everything on the okay
like kind of what you have here yeah absolutely beautiful and then who would come and um take the old Flags out and do whatever you do with them so uh members of troop 83 and myself will be coming by and taking the flags and then retiring
them for the BFW is this made out of heavy Dy metal it's vandalism proof or I mean child safety oh absolutely all right I I recommend maybe put it somewhere it's under the camera's ey so anyone did mess
with it maybe we can be alerted yeah that's my concern would be um I don't know if you're talking about safety someone mention something other than a flag in there what if what did the American Legion say about it I'm sure you went there first um they already
have a a flag box installed so I I pulled that box already and I'm already in the process of refurbishing oh okay so welcoming of this okay if I may I'm very familiar with this Pro uh this project a member of BMW present that
over there very good job um the only thing I have an issue is I don't know what the front is going to look like in a second as you can see it's U working so um I'm sure I'm sure once we have that done you can find a place
that's covered by a camera angle that would be I I don't foresee anybody trying to break into it or anything like that but if we have to put it right by my window I think uh Greg correct is I have enough space over there where yeah if we have to make a concrete B we do
that we're totally able to SC a foundation a foundation there's room there I have no problem this place in the fur the building so if anybody does come across from the parking lot it's right up front and they can see it I'm absolutely of probably I think that's a
good spot for it actually I think that's a good spot for it I don't know what the first look like everything right right and we have a lot out there lot going on so I like that idea from a liability standpoint should we pour our own
concrete I don't think we that's we need to do that I think that uh Scouts have poured concrete slabs all over C it's part of his project okay yeah I think we're okay I have faith in the boy C I think it's a great project yeah this is a great
project I love it yes yep all right so everyone is in agreement is everyone in agreement yes yes congratulations we look forward to seeing the boxes thank you for all your dedication to korth and this a great project thank
you okay I just had a few things um I wanted to read I received a letter and um you know our Police Department is amazing and they never get enough accolades and um I received a letter from a Jose I'm I'm probably going to
pronounce his last name incorrectly but I'm going to give it about my best shot aru get um and he's in an EMS at University Hospital in Newark and he sent uh me this letter that on uh
February 23rd 2025 at approximately 6:00 p.m. his grandmother my grandmother had a a synal event at the residence of my mother and stepdad who live at 611 Fairfield Avenue in kennworth I am a paramedic and EMS supervisor for
University Hospital in New York I just wanted to commend and recognize the crew for being professional caring and courteous they are doing an outstanding job we were all extremely impressed and satisfied with their service service this includes the cworth officer who
responded to the call and the RWJ paramedics thank you for having such quality providers in your beautiful city and our the officer that responded was officer fashino and I just want to publicly uh say thank you um for doing
such a great job so thank you thank you m and uh one more thing I just wanted to announce that I met with the mayor in Cranford um and uh we came up with or they came up with um we were talking
about how to uh improve membership at the Cranford pool and I suggested that they offer a discount uh to the residents of kennworth um so they have done that um the membership uh fees that were $400 for an individual are now $
350 a family of two was 67 $5 they're reducing it to $575 a family of three was $725 which is going to be reduced to $625 and a family of four which was
$775 will be reduced to $675 and a for any senior wishing to join it is $225 for the summer so it's a it's just nice uh we don't have a town pool um I know I live live two blocks from the
Cranford pool um but if any of our residents want to take advantage it's it's a really nice facility there's a pool in Centennial Avenue they also have an indoor pool and then the Orange Avenue pool so um I just want to let everyone know about that I I believe did
you put it on the B website uh not on the website on the Facebook page okay sign the clerks put it on the sign outside and also on um the announcement page on Facebook but you can out to any of us if you have any questions mayor that's wonderful I know a lot of families utilize that you know if
they're going to automatically apply the discount if they see the counter residents um so you'll go on that thank you for uh that question um so when you go on um it's sign up at register. communitypass.net
Cranford so when you click on that you're kennworth resident that discount will be applied that's wonderful and y it's great yeah I think their facilities are Fant very nice yeah me too okay I'd like
to move on to the finance uh finance department councilman Mor still getting it changes all right I I can provide a budget update for tonight we've been talking at the last couple meetings that that's what we're actively
working on the finance committee did convene last week with our CFO and Town Administrator and I got to be honest we are working through some tough situations with this year's budget uh overall we do have decreased revenues from almost all areas uh the decrease in revenues per average assessed house is
coming in at $136 sounds low but it adds up uh we also have increases in many expenditures a lot of them we were expecting however there were some that we weren't expecting such as the borrows healthc care premiums which are really just adding pressure on the budget uh the
committee and our CFO are very thoughtful about the tax increase inrees our residents have been seeing uh and we're taking this very seriously some hard decisions will get made uh and we're determined to keep the municipal tax increase below the Appropriations cap and the tax levy caps as we stand
the budget is over those limits but we are not finished yet so uh a lot of work to do I'd like to acknowledge that our individual department heads are very understanding as they're hearing this message working with us to keep the expenses as level as we can from where they were last year uh it's a very sensitive situation that we're working
through uh we're really trying to strike the right balance and manage this the right way understanding that these are the taxes we all pay uh so our budget uh is due at the next meeting I think we're going to be taking this to the 11th Hour uh right Ken um but we are feverishly
working on making this great so thank you mayam thank you okay Department of Public Works councilman Bo thank you mayor the DPW collected and disposed of 205 tons of Municipal Solid Waste for a cost of1 16,00
$399 they collected 28 tons of comingled recycling for a cost of $2,111 they received a check for 6 $617 from help seed for collected clothing and we wanted to remind residents um to please bundle up
cardboard for pickup it can be stuffed in boxes taped or tied up but Loose cardboard will not be [Music] taken thank you councilman Department of Public Safety councilman thank you very much mayor um right now I
don't have any numbers but I do have uh a report from the chief uh for um the C Police Department uh they had an officer that was involved in a motor vehicle accident on the Boulevard in coolage on March 8th officer Tran was responding to
a call with his lights and Sirens no major injuries were reported to everyone involved thank God the officer was transported to the hospital over precautionary measures are released shortly thereafter a message from the chief uh residents are advised that the
parking lot behind canorth City Market um the restaurant the Torina um store of India is not a borrow Municipal lot is privately owned and a property owner has employed a tone
company to remove vehicles not using the stores in that complex from the lot so if you're parking there and going anywhere else besides any of the uh stores on the boulevard um well this store is on that block yeah it's both
blocks just that block just that them the city market and where the g box is that whole comp so those two blocks from 21st Street to 20 2 halfway through the next
block okay I to 19th so if you're go those two blocks you're going to three guys don't park there or you're picking up your kids from school don't park there listen we don't want residents have to deal with it my feel has been going off the hook over this um unfortunately there's nothing we can do
it's not a burrow lot I've uh tried to speak to several of the um business owners who do not have businesses with the lot to try to come to some reconciliation with the owner whether they can compensate him for use of the LA patrons that is unde the budget bar
has no they can put a gate on both sides of tissues to right so private property it's private property okay that's the owner of the buildings owns a lot too mhm yes and that includes even where Jimmy Buffon half in I thought it was
just Does it include to the liquor store or no it's not including the liquor store it's not including the liquor store what about the there back of Jimmy Buff that fence going okay okay so it does not include the realtor office or uh the liquor store but it would
include then backyard grill theor store that parking lot is privately owned behind him yesing so he must not be um part of that Village then it must end at Jimmy Buffs
right yeah Jimmy Buffs or um the backyard grill yeah park behind backyard grill what's up the back we have Tom Tai and star starving is on the other side but if you're parked behind that in that
parking lot you're they have the right to tell you they have the signage up there everything they've done to prepare for this is done according to B ordinance so we'll do our best to try to get the property order to work with other people but people can park in the lot behind the market and go to T Tai
yes yes okay it's all part of the kenth village is called Nick Dame kth maybe I should list their businesses that are in that Village and probably you know where you're going it's everybody that's going block or lives on the Block and they're
parking there ni so we're doing our best to try to work with people our phone is rying my personal phone constantly Rings over it uh like I said unfortunately there's nothing we can do as a hopefully they can come to how many cars have took that you know know for a
fact there were a handful here uh it depends on what time of day when they want to really get use usually it's overnight correct me from long they'll come out they say we have several cars we want to pull out and if we know the person they give us we'll reach out and say Hey listen get your car out of there
if we have you in the cad we'll do our best to try to help our residents but there are instances where we can't get in touch with the person and their car has been tone right so so my question would be to tone during the day as well [Music]
any I pull even warning cards cards they have given some warning uh they do have signs up they added some new signs up that I saw but they have put cards stating that listen your vehicle should not be parked here is only for this location and uh I had several people
reach out to me and I said listen as far as I'm concerned I can uh allow people to par there to go pick up their kids at the school it doesn't work that way right so hopefully uh he'll realize that he is actually hurting his own patrons because people that he's tell me out of
them are are still still the same people that are uh you know his esta hopefully happy meeting will come we'll see usually we go through this every 10 15 years I've been here for long yeah sometimes they let it go and then all sudden they decide to enforce it was a
new ownership I mean was an olderly lady maybe she pass yes it was was to hospital I'm sure there pressure from the stores there that are paying and they want their client their customers to be able to pull in and use
their stores and they're paying rent there so you know I I understand that I agree I agree with them I understand it might be inconvenience for those trying to pick up their kids with school I I parked really park for years class
right okay as um finally as the weather gets warmer obviously people are going to want to open their Windows of their car and maybe out a little bit swifter or faster um I advise people to keep it you know at the speed limit pulling out
of eping today I saw the portable electric uh the portable speed radar thing and they were going faster than saying your speed is 37 38 the lights were flashing so anytime over 40 right or 45 well the one that you see out
there is the actual trailer the actual um receptacle that we're putting out there is not ready yet that one there and we have it set for a certain speed Li we people try to buy see how fast it go but uh it will activate after a certain uh speed so we're doing everything we can to try to slow these
people down on the boulevard um it is what it is by limited manow going away but we can my guys are doing a great job so yeah as I know I walked the dog there through LPE offing that little stretch there because there's nowhere for police officer to be pulled over and catch
anybody except for that ramp going into ly but cord yeah that's actually Cranford and they're just flying by just amazing they going there shooting you can take the trail people go a park and but when it comes down to the that speed radar sign that we have
uh we started getting put in there that's going to help slow down a lot of people that's permanent that's not moving so that's going to help slow a lot of people several times that implemented it has help slow people down and that's the whole thing trying to get people once we get them to slow down then we'll work on the other aspect of
the quality life when it comes to speeding parking town chief do you have you know the signs that go in the center say you have to stop for p pedestrian cring because the other day we were in our car trying to make a turn and this
poor woman got stuck in the middle and nobody would stop either way I totally understand that this I know you had there were more at one point they probably got hit if if I may a lot of them have been struck uh also a
lot of them are older um we have some of them out there due to the obviously we just got out of winter time so we pulled them out of the roadway because the plows come down they'll destroy them so once now the weather starting to get to that 60 deg yeah we'll start I think
they slow people down it reminds people to stop and they slow people down this was stuck right in the middle she couldn't go either way both cars kep that's happened to me too it's happen I'm in un it's happen to me go like this I need you look at you when you go by
yeah we we have put out there uh several areas of town trying to get people to slow down okay it's now that the weather's breaking you're going see more of this traffic stuff coming out great working on thank you has there been any suggestions to do anything the parking
lot walking into the VF you I did that Monday night St Patty's and cars are flying by and yeah so you're trying to get two if you have that that was uh what is it called the delineator that goes in the middle of the road yeah
that's that should be in the middle of the road and it's not it's over on the side yeah they took it out of the roadway because they needed to get all their buses and everything in for St Patrick's okay so weather to break you again that slows people down the actual
parking lot itself that is just a person that wants to drive like that and trying to catch that person doing it is very difficult to do are things that's all I have mayor thank you councilman thank you planning zoning
councilman scarice thank you mayor um I got some numbers here just for the month of February there's some other numbers but then they don't seem the match up so I don't want to say them just in case there's an error um the
total receipts uh building fees were $37,800 $ 4,959 miscellaneous uh $1,630 trailer storage $1,200 Road opening fees 4500 total only 49,376
so also some about 10 things going on in town um maybe seen I don't know if I mentioned it but they have uh D J used to be I think that's 7:30 Jefferson trying to subdivide that lot um it's knocked down a building to make a park
lot uh North 10 Street um little I think it's National tool was over that way looking to add some loading Bays uh to existing Warehouse um some people try to put in a fence but they had to get uh so that's they had to
resubmit their application and onx well the uh subdivision went through so there's actually instead of 106 Acres it's now uh like 70 and 30 give it take a little so that's good for that to AT&T Wireless is uh replacing uh
communication equipment on the our water tower and core weave uh on the old The Nest property the old the Onyx gal Merc um going to repurpose the k11 building going to start making a data center uh
constru electric uh Utility Yard and Chiller platform there'll be 31 generators and 29 Chillers um so they're going to have that um those plans will be forthcoming and uh that's all I have to
report thank you councilman Recreation and fire councilman Piper thank you mayor uh the Middle School baseball softball and track have begun practicing and I live across the street it's nice to see the town alive again games and meets are scheduled to begin in April
and run through May the eagle scout projects on the front room and the rear storage room have been completed in wck we want to that Conor Samia and Daniel Rodriguez for their project the annual Easter egg hunt will be held on
April 13th with the rain date of April 19th uh more details will be coming in the next two weeks for the next meeting and we will uh the rec will soon be accepting applications for summer camp counselors information and a link to the application has been posted on
the recreation's fa Facebook page that's all I have for that thank you councilman health education and Welfare councilwoman jodano cerno thank you mayor so I'm going to start off with our big day tomorrow at the senior center
Soups On Charley is it 5 o' I had that noted but I think I might be wrong from 6 to 8 from 6 to 8 so everybody do we still have tickets available space okay
tickets are available everybody should get over to the senior center and enjoy enjoy some really good soup tomorrow night 6: to 8 um last night was the Board of Education Finance meeting it was a special meeting um unfortunately a
lot of people didn't show up so I would urge residents if you want to know what's going on at the board of ed take the opportunity to attend these meetings especially um something as important as the budget but the next Board of
Education meeting will be Monday April 14th at 7 p.m. the health department um I think we mentioned I mentioned last meeting that the Construction office and the health department are going to be
flip-flopping their offices so they're going to start U moving certain things out of the health department probably the end of March storing them here to make some room down there to I guess clean up and paint cuz you can't
completely move both departments the same day um and then again the second part will be the early part of April moving out all the other Essentials getting that area cleaned up and whatever has to be done and moving the
uh Construction office down there so please be patient residents anybody coming in that needs either one of those departments understand that you know things as much as you plan uh don't always work out as you think they will
but in the long run this will be the best for both departments to be able to operate more efficiently and serve the burrow residents um better so probably it'll it'll take a good month for everybody to settle in because you know
probably computers and phone lines and all that kind of stuff has to get uh changed over so um if you happen to go down the health department you don't find somebody come up to burrow Hall and ask if you need some help um during the
transition period and finally the library I touched on this at the last meeting but I want to point it out again they really have a special event and it's Statewide it's called The Maker Day New Jersey maker day and it's March 22nd
from 10: to 1 30 and it's all different activities about things and how to make them things that are made in New Jersey a lot of hands handon Hands-On activities so I urge people to come young and old bring your kids come
yourself it's a really special event and like I said it is Statewide so a lot of libraries are participating and it's a great event if you want more details call the library 9 8276
2451 and aside from this really special event of course they're really ramping up almost every day during the day in the evening there's something really great going on at the library so I urge everyone to get in touch and um get
their calendar just keep it on your refrigerator especially the nice months you take a walk up to the library and and have a nice time so that's all I have thank you thank you counc question about the school budget um it good to all go to those meetings except that I
didn't did you do you know if they mentioned anything about the state aid I heard it was going up about 5.5% for the town to the schools did they talk about that at all um I wasn't at that meeting we were at the mayor and I were at a I I guess it's called a private meeting and
they were still working on what may happen with the state aid and where they would be at and hopefully this year was not going to be the hit like it was last year although we did get like 40% of it back um so I don't
have those final numbers but I'll have that at the next meeting okay great thanks you're welcome okay barel engineer thank you mayor U I really don't have much the only project we really have going on is the sidewalks
out in the front uh which are coming along uh we're hoping they're going to be substantially complete this week but we're not going to quite make that um you know that's going to end up leading into next week but they they're they're on the tail line uh they're going to be out so uh so far it's just coming along
well work Works been good don't have any complaints uh just want to get them done get them out so um other than that I don't really have anything else any have any questions I yeah um I got two residents from Monmouth reach out just an update wanted to know about when they
can expect the sidewalks I told them later on in the spr the sidewalks on I mean ver on oh um I don't look into that I don't know but they they we have somebody we have somebody lined up I check I know the winter they want to do
it uh probably spring so I reached out to the contractor uh helping Tony out he says that Wen is charging a premium for concrete before April 1st and that would inflate his cost that he gave us without the premium
so we have to wait till April 1st passes so hopefully the week of the 7th uh he'll have the D for us and he'll be doing verv and North 21st across pass funeral okay good Tony the the contractor doing all
of the sight work they're doing all the finished landscaping and everything out here yeah I go y they'll be cleaning up receiving um justed get some shrubs out in the front so everything they it's turn key they'll plant the sh trees it's
it's seed not s or just seed no just be top so seed we didn't includ s okay I do we have an irrigation system out there not yet we have it set up for that so we we had the contractor install
um sleeves on the M sidewalk so we could run we have two sets we a sleeve for future irrigation and a sleeve if who ever want to run electric uh back out you know around for decorations and things like that so it's set up so that if we want to add it we don't have to we
don't have to touch the side of this but we didn't have it in in this um wasn't in this contract kind of we were already at the edge where we had the money budget cuz it's just now we have nothing for the whole front of the
of of burl Hall that seed I can't imagine it germinating um it's going to have to be watered but uh yeah I mean the idea though is to add the irrigation not just not we didn't want to do it under this contract because we didn't want I again we kind of figur we knew we were going
to be close to to to the budget with it so but it's set up for and that can be it can be added how the gas get bra Tony sure the sprinkler system absolutely I mean if we don't if we're not watering it
everything's going to die seeds already down seeds already down I don't think so they still got to do moreing right now it's got over by the health department I thought I just a temporary they do some hay down everything I don't
think that's not fun um they just do it on as a temporary uh you know hopefully State wi and when the time comes to do a Boulevard from the gas company obviously there'll be signs do not Park here in there any time frame for that yet for
the paving yeah it's going to be soon I what I understand I have reached out to Mohammad from the county road department he says they're looking on or around May 19th to pave
Street issue but he says they're paving at night have all these people walking on any round that's my concern twist that yeah see if they could do before afterwards that's to that's up to that they're issuing the permits right Tony
yeah yeah it depends where they start too they start them but side right it's going to take a a while to it up to it up this way when do we have our the
before so day before the way it is right now Tony could you get a price for a spring system and a Hydra seating to finish that off yeah no problem do that thanks seems it be cheaper now you
because you have to dig a trench for the irrigation right it's a small trench it's only in yeah well with the technology they have nowadays they have some it's a machine that acts like a
sewing machine it pulls the pipe undergr and never actually taks it up and like when they're done you don't even know they were here yeah it's like it's just like kind of cuts a Groove and as it it goes in it just recovers it's a minimum disturbance
run really they small tubes any they to be what 2 feet down or one foot umet I mean they they they they're not on the win they get win rout re so they they they should be win R before we get
the first blow them out compressed air yeah blow usually uh I don't know what you guys do do you do it yourself or come no we do it in house do in house yeah cuz now all those plants and everything if you're not watering them right yeah and then you how do you hold the contractor
liable I you got to be watered right I agree we should get some native plants so we don't have to order them they do can report back at the next meeting what what those plants are no see those heads all the time but
you to water the native plants and stuff TR butterf I think they have to be established though yeah exactly this SS very expensive what we're talking about here as we're trying to close that budget in a week yeah no that was the
whole idea I know that's the next heading right but you know what'll happen nobody will want to hear it when they walk up and they see nothing but mud outside after all that beautiful work that was done she get some astr turf I was just thinking High School got some left over
from their football out okay thanks so thank you thanks uh B CFO thank you mayor uh as Council Morrow mentioned uh we are working feverishly on the budget uh for introduction for our goal is to hit the next meeting of
April 2nd will be within the state guidelines uh yes I do appreciate all the department heads understanding our financial situation we are all working together to get the uh best budget for you guys to present to your constituents
to give them the best bank for their tax dollar so we are looking without cutting any Services uh and we're working Fe to make that happen uh just a touch base on the board advant I did get in touch with the board secretary so yes the spreadsheet I
had showed an increase however that spreadsheet did not include the additional state aid they had gotten last year 660,000 don't quote me on the number but um so that is not uh included in there so technically they're losing
about $275,000 State compared to what they were in flux with last year last unbelievable and uh he did tell me they were meeting and he wouldn't be able to tell me further numbers except I did ask about the uh
referendum Mayors uh we were both partially right uh about $500,000 of the referendum was included in their tax dollars last year and the board came up with a capital reserve of 1.5 however this year's budget the whole
$2 million so it's an additional 1.5 million coming out of tax dollars already for just the debt service so they are going to be in tough situation also so um so I find out anything further on that I let you know and as
soon as we finish meeting with the committee we have something to to release to everybody uh we're trying our best thank you um Council talked about Verizon putting
Wireless uh controllers on top of the water tower I know we get fees for the wires on the polls do we get fees as a town for the water tower having a a wireless whatever it is I was going to ask L to contract cuz if it's our water
tower we got I know in Ros Park we had one and we would get them yearly yeah we should get something for it definitely they want to reach out it's not our water tower belongs to the water company because they're responsible for maintaining it
and money and we're just going to get permit fees there need is there anything on the tower now yeah' been there it's I heard that it's updating existing it's been there since the 90s okay one quick question did I understand
correctly that state aid to the school was cut 275 did I hear that correctly yes from with u which was already cut last year y well it was cut and then they gave some of it back was but once again I it's sort of like our situation
with the municipal relief Aid that we have of 10 and something thousand 103,000 uh that that was reinstituted by the legislature and unfortunately both budgets will have to be done before then so if they do reinstate it maybe we'll
have it to in a reserve to then us in the following year so but that's probably not going to be known until June 30th unfortunately although the board they gave out earlier so but for the municipalities it wasn't the legislators put it in their version of the budget that was finally adopted and
approved so uh we didn't hear many Rumblings of if they're going to bring that back for the municipality so so we have to have our budget in by April 1st but that could [Music] change by April 2 Meet the state
guidelines of March 31st or the first meeting there after so we might we might get additional Aid the 30th after the budget maybe that's totally up to the legislature and you're never going to know that until June 30th and if it is
we'll just have that for next year in the hopper so okay thank you K thank you okay bur attorney um nothing officially to report but actually I happen to be looking at the state a
numbers for something else earlier so understanding that there's some not funny business but that the numbers are somewhat fungible at least what's reflected on the doe website shows that the B that the Board of Ed got a 5.63% increase however I think that's like 300
I was just looking again like 350,000 or so increase but kind of by the Numbers if you may guess if there's 600,000 that's being carried over that theoretically explain the Delta so at least you know what's on the the website shows an increase just to throw it out
there but not knowing any more details it's just the number so okay thank you uh Barrow administrator um I attended the annual join Insurance Fund safety kickoff meeting for the year and the burough was
awarded the Bronze award so that pretty much equated to a check for 525 10 sound Vaguely Familiar so what that award was for was uh for a safety incentive program that is is run by the Jeff we can utilize those funds for safety
initiative so this year I'm going to uh work with one of our in-house assets officer DZ downstairs he is certified um a CPR trainer with the American Heart Association so we're gonna do another
program to get the um employees and elected officials you can get your uh AED and CPR certification if you like I'll put more information out about that once um I sit down with Travis and we figure out what the schedule's going to look like for that um let's see we had
our St Patrick's Day uh celebration here at the burrow thank you mayor and councilman finella for joining in us we had very I just want to throw a little special shout out there Carmen Gino from the fire department came over with his bag pipes and that that was really
special we did enjoy that uh the petition deadline for the primary election is this Monday March 24th so have your petitions in by 400 pm and uh just I guess on on a personal
note as U someone who has family members who are our veterans I just wanted to um Express that I I really appreciate the evil Scout project that was presented this evening and I can't think of a better time because in 2025 we have the
Army the Navy and the US Marine Corps will be celebrating the 250th anniversaries so thank you Chris that's all I have thank you so Council M was at the uh
to St Patrick's Day what's that he was he came to that's okay forgot about you Pat where do we go about the PL now I talked to jine and we can't go to the school oh the neuro
Divergent that right same thing they can't they only the American flag they they have they don't have an extra poll well we have any other way we could what is there maybe one of the parks I you have the one at American was like 12
ft tall I think right in front I mean are the front I don't know do we have anymore there's one at 16 Street right no it's no it's just just an Mara Park and you're right it's very short I don't know if you would would if
Council would uh prefer this as a an alternative but um I was searching and I did find some banners um I'm going to say they might be 3x4 maybe and it's about uh neurode Divergent awareness so
we could always put those up maybe outside um I did get those brick Clips yes right so always put them up outside out uh outside the front doors if you want to do something like that can we do perhaps a little ceremony and a
proclamation absolutely do we have to I mean the flag seems to be can't an issue well the flag raising was a suggestion I don't know that you know I mean I I think we can to celebrate I think we can still do to get the school involved and everyone in the community right right so
could we perhaps do a little ceremony I would be more than happy to do it um I can do a proclamation um or or the other suggestion was wait until June I mean if that poll's going up anyway mayor I like your idea of the
Proclamation making it into some other a Town Event what if we do something at the street fair you get up on the podium and Street Fair is tough is there's just so so many most big chunk of those people are not it's a good thing yeah I
also like the idea of taking it away from the government buildings because I think that we've opened Pandora's Box and we might want to talk about shutting that so anything we do with GP Clips on the side of the wall I think we're just going further down that rabbit hole right I just don't know that the street
fair is is the right event for it um it's just very very crowded um but I do they do the karate thing in the middle of street they get such good audience uh attention I don't know I think disassociating it from the town
buildings and town Parks makes sense as a Next Step just a consideration because I do think we've opened Pandora's Box here and it really does need to be shut I would agree with that I mean we should note uh note it in some way you
can still do awareness like you said Proclamation I'm sure there's something we can do other than worrying about a flag like something else does have to be a flag other things to make it no Worth to bring attention to it what are we going to fly in that second poll that we're going to
put up in June what P I mean I bet there's a million things that the P flag can go with the American flag right all right well we got state flag flag korth that's what they American flag
flag out a kit is the American flag before the building with the p flag no other flag on the memorial flag for 911 flag is solely designated for right right so that's why we saw something in the future put something
elsewise that could be used but that is on the governing body whether you guys can utilize that pole it's not even up yet so well you have the ceremony to the polls up and figure out by then what to do you should not put any other flag on
those two po we could put a third American flag We All American flags there's no that's proper you can do whatever you want sir yeah so let's let's do the proclamation and then when the flag pulls up in June then we rehash and say what do you want
to do and put up for a week just a week well I think we're going to have to have a decision there's going to have to be a decision whether we're doing Flags or we're not doing Flags so I think that that has to be established before right the flag p up
okay agre on on the uh current situation if there's a way to make it a bit more hoopla if you will around the ceremony I think that's what they were expecting uh so the simple Proclamation at a council meeting I'm not sure if that goes far well no I'm not I'm talking about at the
actual whatever we decide to do I wouldn't I'm not talking about reading the proclamation here reading the proclamation at whatever event we decide to do okay so I think that's a good idea yeah yeah and we can maybe
even get little flags that we could pass around perhaps to people um which would be nice right and they take them home okay issue I think to the council's point that having you know reasonable
time and manner of restrictions if that's what you'd like to do but once it's up as a you know something that's reasonable and permitted makes sense you know you know then you have a policy in place as to how to address the request where they come in okay but isn't that I
think the the research was you can't say no once you you're doing Flags you got to do everybody you have to have official policy in place kind of you know there's still you can't have a flag that's closing that door that's something we would have to work towards Clos but that's that's what yeah that's what we
yeah no you're not wrong butly just there's certain spe it's still cross like you can't have a FL up like the can yell fire in a crowded theater type of situation you can't have a flag it's whatever the equivalent of that is but since I can't take it off my but but to that your point yes generally if you're
having it it's what's good for one is good for all so there's a list of flags that we can deny I guess somewhere that's what we would have to put together or but then we can say you're discriminatory like we decide that we don't like this particular flag now we can Su us that's you follow you'd follow
the the kind of legal guidance see what the case what the law says the cases say about it and find what the reasonable you know what the limit is of what you know what the corers are what you know what policy you can put place but what it comes down to is we'd have to come to
an agreement because what's the sense of put about third poll if we're not going to correct true all right so I expect the council is going to have conversation and uh talk to the bar attorney about
this all right any want to volunteer as a lead on that so it actually gets done I was having Mark into it before the new diversion even came up so Mark researching now yeah because I know it's just that's going to be a problem and
and here ironically it just happened all right how about I so he supposed to um look into it I know Clark already has that so I said you just take a look at that thought I work with you and then we ask Laura to send our findings around to the
rest of the governing body and we'll uh guess take yeah I think [Music] okay next for Council consideration is

does anyone have anything to say for the good and well-being of the barrel please come forward and State your name and address hi pette po 250 F Avenue can work um two things you had mentioned about the pool CRA pool opening up I you
should look into it because the indoor pool now belongs to the YMCA oh so I might have been in might have misspoke on that okay the past year and I know that because I didn't wasn't aware of that so it would be just the outside pools but that's still good just so you
know that the second thing is the outside pool Centennial as well so just not the indoor pool the outside to the town but they they the Y so you have to be a y member to go there wow I guess you could then use po H that's too
expensive um the second thing is I'm I understand if the um shared services with Union and K with the health department is no longer is that correct no it still is okay someone told me that they didn't renew so we still will have the I think was the health fair in
September yes still will be a health fair absolutely okay that's thank you thank you how you doing Rich up 241 B2 Avenue um I wanted to take an opportunity to tell the governing body what's going on
at the uh at the climning board level uh because there have been some changes and there have been some things that are going on I think you should know uh first of all all of you know the planning board members uh come with credentials like contractors for over 50
years and engineers and Architects and uh you name it we have it on our board and what's been happening uh probably in the last three applications or so um although they're coming before us a lot of things are being kicked back denied
or carried to another session what happens as a result of that as you all know is on the planing World level there's a there's a completeness review they go through that and that happens and then they're allowed to come before us at that
point what what has been happening is when the let's call it the engineers the planners the attorneys get together if they're not thorough in their application what begins to happen is we have to carry that into another meeting
into another session they have to go back and do their homework but our planning board does not allow is a laundry list of conditions because they did not complete their plan properly if it's not on the plan it doesn't get
approved now there are certain things that you could miss maybe a tree a light a candle light something like that and then we we'll make that exception the reason why this is so important because you're going to get some was um as we did early last year that oh
my God the escros are so high why is the planning board charging so much the planning board is not charging so much it's because the applicants professionals are not doing their job properly so they have to go back to the
drawing board in order to get the right information to come before us again now it's only fair that if the planner the engineer the attorney is sitting there waiting to listen to that case to either debate agree or disagree with the other
professionals on the applicant's team if they can't get that done that night they have to come back so that escrow starts to deplete so then it needs to be replenished so I want you to know that the professionals that we have on our
planning board are not overcharging they not uh making things worse the thing is it's the planning board who is saying I'm sorry we can't hear your testimony you're not ready go back to the drawing
board and that's what's going on so I don't know if anyone's heard anything I want to bring it to you you're hearing it from this level not from the street I don't know if that sound we know what you mean in addition to that we also sent
out memo about 3 weeks ago to the uh planning board the entire planning board uh that we are changing the date of our planning board meetings to the last Tuesday of the month and I wanted you guys to know that and it works pretty
good for you as well because if we're on the last Tuesday of the month by the time we do our business if there's something that we have to do then it goes to you in the governing body that following Wednesday so it kind of works a little bit better for for everyone concerned so I just
wanted to bring you up the speed on that if you have any questions let me know question for Rich um thanks for the proactive warning about what might be coming I appreciate stuff like that you said it was the last three is it more of a trend that you're noticing that the the applications aren't complete so I
remember I've been on the plan board a few months I this was a case for the last few years too right you know what the the applications are complete in another all the applic the um the completeness was done they get that they get through that and it's and it's done
now they come the 45 days pass and then they come before us when they come before us the plan is not ready to be reviewed by the planning board there's too many holes in the plan they'll either leave the um impervious section out they oh
yeah we're going to put in a dyall well where is it on the plan what are you doing about the neighbor's property what about the fence over here what about the lighting on the left side of the property how does that offend someone else so all these things are not taken
into consideration it is not our planner or our engineer or our attorney to review the plan It's Our obligation to make sure that they check all the boxes that the plan is there the north the north arrow is in its place so those are
the parts of the completeness review that we look for uh as the as a planning board but when they come before us and they take 20 minutes to try to explain to us what they think they're going to do and they have no idea we got to kick it back are these professional Builders
or are these the average homeowner like me trying to do something and not getting it right well the average homeowner is probably getting more um latitude if you want to call it
than anybody else because what I do at that point is I'll ask our planner and our engineer to walk them through the process because they have no representation they can't afford the representation so we try to make it work the Mis Noma about the planning board Billy is that I'm sorry councilman is
that um oh I'm going for the planning board they're going to deny me no we're here to help we want it to work we want to develop our town so yeah the the the the resident that wants to put the addition on the this we're trying to help those those people the people that
come in that are doing a subdivision or they're putting an addition or something like that they're coming with professional representation those people are not prepared we have our professionals they have theirs and our board and if they're
not ready we're not approving it we have to kick it back cuz we have to take care of resence sounds like it's you should know better kind of a situation exactly it's pretty simple yeah that's pretty simple thanks for the heads up here thank you thank you thank you chairman anyone
[Music] else hi Charlie we can lower that for you 38 South 24th Street in kennworth on behalf of the kennworth Historical Society I'd like to thank you for considering the
resolution that was proposed for the buau to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America next year and we'd like to express our willing this if
you so wish uh to spearhead that effort um much in the same way that we did the buroughs Centennial Celebration back in 2007 uh when we convened a committee
that met regularly to plan events throughout the year that involve all different factions in cworth and represented a crosssection of our community that would be wonderful yeah we would we would be willing to do that
if You' like you have my vote have my blessing thank you to do that right I'm sure it's going to everything you do will be amazing you already have a plan for what the historical society is I'm sure you
do so if you like the idea of our leading the community effort then we will start yes thank you that's sure yep thank you and as as a senior director
senior program director at the senior center I'd like to just remind everyone that this Wednesday coming Wednesday the 26 we have the state representative coming to the senior center to talk about the changes in the New Jersey
property tax relief program oh that's great we have well over 52 people signed up for that already and so if anyone is interested you know please just call the senior center let us know because we
will have some refreshments in what time is that uh from 9:30 a.m. to 11: on Wednesday March 26 thank you thank you thank you sh
okay anyone else okay seeing no one is there a motion to close the floor for public discussion motion second motion made by councilwoman gardano pno seconded by councilman Moro all in favor I okay does anyone have anything else they'd like to
discuss I'd like to work something if we could for a second um just you know thinking fancy about all the services we don't want to cut VA keeps coming up I know that we cut it from one two to one last year and the way things are looking I'm not sure it's going to change so I
wanted to ask Pat um counc boil and maybe uh G with DPW what could we do right I mean is there a way that uh every other month let's say last pickup of the month residents can put one or two bulk items out and then you flip that every other month North would that
be then no bulk at all uh I don't know if I'd go that far I just want to provide a little bit of relief I know it's a hot issue yeah you're Shing on know then what are you got to make hard decision that's why eled our superintendent has been diligently
working on Alternate plans the floor is yours so I met with my committee before the uh council meeting and we came over a couple of options and one of the options that the committee and I were in agreement with
that we want to discuss with the rest of the council if you guys want to discuss it tonight or other Council meetings was we can do it inhouse and schedule it so what we would ask is we would put limits on items the amount of items that
a resident can put out at a certain time or throughout the course of the year and then they would call schedule it we would do so many appointments per month because we'd only be able to do it one day a month and we do it through like as example April through September or may
through October is 6 months and that was that was one of the option because that way we can um we can utilize make it more efficient by not driving around town and not doing anything we're like we're going to
specified destinations and they'll be more efficient that way so just kind of like the system now where if I got a couch I can call you up and $75 later they'll pick it up it's kind of like that but but we're waving the fee and it's scheduled for one day of a particular
month or week or something so what I would do is would schedule it on a Friday so in the event that for some whatever an unforeseen circumstance we run late we can follow up on Saturday so that way it doesn't sit out over the weekend and just finish that route but
it would be a set number of stops per month but the only thing we need to agree on is what are we going to allow limit wise for the residents for the year and that's something we can control on an Excel
spreadsheet by address whenever someone calls it in so like if you guys say all right they get as an example hypothetically you get every resident gets 10 items a year Well if they have three in the month of April that's three out of 10 they got seven items left for
the rest of the year yeah and if they don't use it they don't use it it's no big deal but you know and then we would just you know if our book fills up for that month all right we'll put you on for next month and then that way you know put it up and this would be in lie of having any major bulk pickup correct
this would because then it's a more controlled you call for an appointment they know what they're picking up they have the appropriate truck and Manpower and they're going they take it off you know the front of your lawn and
it's not sitting out it's not burrow wide and you don't feel people AR coming and picking through the garbage right and you don't feel comp to run around your house and throw out anything you think you might want to throw out because you're trying to make bulk pickup but bul pickup would have the
bulk itself we wouldn't take bags bags because it has to be something that they can see when they're picking it up right right so we can't take bags we can't take construction debris right so like we had a resident last year
demed the deck we had another Resident who was using uh furniture from a commercial business out front of their house so we're going to have a supervisor following this truck whenever we do this if you want us to do it this way and they'll be there to make those
judgment calls take photos of violators write them up and move move on to the next house so Greg when they call you know I call I'm going to say you know I have something for bulk pickup I have to tell you it's a a couch a refrigerator
and a washing machine so you know know what's out there so if you go there there's uh I don't know a whole dining room set or whatever what would happen in in that situation well we would SE we would sort that's why the for would have to go with when Bas done so we could sort of
separate it so there for example a refrigerator there and that's something we're going to allow on the bul collection we will put that in the back of the truck rather than the garbage truck because that's a recyclable item where we can get scrap money for it
and other items like someone throws out forest and light buls so that's not going in there that has to go separate same thing sty for or I think what she's asking I mean what if I say I'm going to put something out and it's something you go there just 10 items oh yeah no I don't I don't want someone calling me up
and saying there listed items just say how many items you have at your house give me your address and just keep it simple okay there's no reason to know what it is just tell me how many items you have resource wise what would you need to pull this off is it current
trucks current Manpower or would you need more equipment no that's why that's why I want to do a certain number of stops so I can just run one truck M right and that claw now is no no weight concerns for workers comp that claw in the back of the trucks now unfortunately
that's only for barrels we can't use that if if there is something too heavy we can we have a a loader that can pick it up and that the bucket fits in the back of a garbage truck so if it ever gets to that point we can always just follow up with
that and what's the savings if we do a more controlled scheduled pickup for a number of months so I don't have the tonnage but I I could have sworn we picked up over 200 tons of bulk in 2024 when we
did it just once that was the whole town mhm and that's eliminates the $50,000 right off that and how much was that well you figure 200 tons at $95 a ton wow so it was expensive so this being more controlled we don't have that
putting limits on it will be more controlled there were people putting on 20 30 items you know and when I say you know it could have been like a record player and then a couch as you know VAR varying sizes but some people were taking great advantage of it and there
was nothing wrong with that cuz we don't have term limits but I mean item limits but other people only putting things in between a scheduled pickup if I want to come to the DPW I can come down there and bring it myself right if
we want to a hybrid like that we can I mean is that the policy now could I come down there yes I put that but there's a fee though a fee like if you wanted to have them do it for free you could have that option as well so now is amounts
over the X number 10 in your whatever whatever the 11 12th 13th you still getting the service of them coming out or you would have come out anyway right uh for for schedule pick up today yeah I I think this is a great idea I really do
you had something yeah you I just want to say depending on how you run the program if you're eliminating the bulk I would say your first year what you can estimate savings you can't touch disposal cost because you don't know how
much we're going to get of what items so so that you wouldn't touch what you would be able to touch is the collection amount and if I remember correctly it was 40 or $45,000 no it was 50 last year 50 just for one for and so that's 100,000 so
that's what you can plan on roughly as a savings and I don't know if I take it right to the limit of the 50,000 40,000 leave you a little leway time has to happen on Saturdays cover that but the disposal wise if
you're going to run this plus the other it's going to cost you more money just know so it's all you know and I know the touchy subject about a that we went down to one and that was controversial now if you're looking to do this but I think we're giving the
residents more of a service and you're not feeling compelled to that one day to getting everything done what if you decide you know to to get new furniture in July you're stuck until next April I've had the I never I haven't put
anything out on I paid for it because I wasn't going to hold on to new mattresses for bulk right I think that's a good option if you could I would have I would love that really work that out and get back to us another thing you can throw out there
is you get rid of the bult you do this six Monon program yeah and you eliminate the few all together yeah you well I think that's what you were saying there wouldn't be a fee right you don't do
all 15 items Char even during bul the white goods with refrigerants and stuff you take that without fees I would still ask to charge for free on disposal because it's an environmental that I agree yes what about we need we need to charge we need
to pay we have when we do collection we do with a vendor like forun because they're licensed to dispose of free on environmentally safe so we got to always make sure that we're using a vendor that has that ability that license to do that
and that's what Fortune has so with they they take that off of the scrap metal but um the overall tonnage when we get the check but it does affect it to us because of the weight so I would still charge for that just as an environmental
fee I'm not trying to be Devil's Advocate but then you need to know what they're putting out they put out the refrigerator the thing like and that's a charge but but Appliance scrap metal in a sense is not
technically bulk bulk isn't scrap metal is not classified as bulk so classifi as a recyclable then you need to come up with a flyer send that out you know depending on when you start it you can put it in with the mailing of
the tax I mean we can pick it up as separate from B Scrap Metal but they'll have to let us know if it has free on and if it doesn't we'll leave it if we don't have them registered as paying for it in advance we'll leave it leave a note saying please call Burl Hall pay
for this and we'll come back and get it yeah I don't think there's a big deal if people tell you what to expect the other option I had thrown out there was just so you guys are aware was there was still a six-month
program but it was you would do the three garage shots we have they would each each person who lives in those routes would get a twice a year pick up so as an example your Monday route would be picked up April and July Tuesday
would be May August Wednesday's route would be June and September and we would just room people would put it out on a specified day in that month if their route fell on that month a scheduled day we would roam that
whole entire garbage route with two trucks but again there' be a set limit on the bul thing we put out I don't know I both options the option one better you call up you need something you know what to expect you know what kind of Manpower
you need yeah so like option two we can limit the Manpower so we can still do other jobs option one I would need two trucks you know both are doable in my opinion both are doable
so and it it it'll be a learning stage in first year trying to figure this out work out the cases but I like the availability and we'll be more efficient the following year if you guys want to go this way there's no way I'm going to hold something that I need to throw out that's the problem months hang on to it
I love this we've got 12 days is there really you want to snag that 50,000 honestly tell her every penny is going to count this year really to touch on Ken's point I would that that 50,000
did come out of our tipping fee budget if you say that they're just in case the we don't know what these items are going to do Weight Wise cuz it's all weight not the item when we dispose of it we leave it in there just to see
workout The Kinks this year and then if there's something left over and someone else's budget Polie fire their budget is running red and we got we can move it or whatever Ken knows those rules better than I do but move it then I if we move it now and we run
short might be I'd be happy to see it go into Surplus next year if it happens as well right that's an option Ken so maybe maybe we go the right you're saying um keep it on for the year but try it out later this year do we need a resolution for something like this or is
this just DPW operating no that I would assume unless there's some code provision or some you know something official but absent that it would just be an operational decision well done I've been years if you may want to look at the
ordinance on the books now what's allowed to be thrown out for both you might want to tweak that let's take a look at that use me to get that taken care of you roll conru all right even if the
first year it only starts in June so you got June July August September and October we might be able to start it in May yeah if you roll it out if you roll that gives me the whole month of April to to work out the logistics right and you guys can work on the
ordinances can you work on that like a real firm plan and then get back to us so we could get moving on it I can I can probably have something preliminarily set up for before our next council meeting good great yeah I like the Council on this one I see this as a as a
Net game for the residents years Union's been doing it for years I've been saying it why don't we do that and for I don't know somehow was it that people have been objecting for it for some re it it just gives you more massive exactly like you said a
whole on of junk Plus you can't abuse it as much as cont all they're not going be able to do it if you're only a couple pieces a month and it going be too much show for it anyone to abuse it spreading it out over these courses of the months course of months six months will also
help in my opinion and my dream is to slow down the illegal dumping we see throughout the town yes I say too yeah I'm not hanging on for 6 months I'm going to end up being dump this but that's the problem so we want people and they probably will comply got hang out
to it for a week or or to the end of the month they more likely not going to you know they they'll take a chance you know so it's up to get back to us yeah can you take a look at our ordinance Dustin and then when you I can work
with come off what should go on get feedback and then we can have that for the next counil meeting so like ovens regular white goods that we were currently charging we don't have to do that anymore just refrigerants refrigerants anything with refrigerants so anything anything with refrigerants is air conditioners freezers
refrigerators deers M those are the items commonly used with refrigerant that's the only thing I would still charge at $25 $50 whatever you guys want to charge everything else scrap metal it's if I see it's going to be a free pickup just like the B but we would
Source separate that car put in the back of a separate truck so we can put in the dumpster anything recycled we see yeah I like that we get the money for every I just don't one thing we just you know I'm going to say it out loud here so it's on record I don't want residents putting out motor oil or anything like
that you take that I we have to be really clear that and it's it's not acceptable no liquid paint cans like they have to be dried out residents want to try out a pink in get the clay kitty litter not not the not the granules the
thick the larger chunks that's made out of clay throw that in there it'll dry out like in a couple hours and Home Depot sells something I you pour it in and you leave it open and it dries it out GRE is that just for waterbased yes
cuz they treat them differently right yeah oilbased oilbased has to go to the County houseold hazardous waste days that are advertised believe there's five pick hups a year and they're already advertised on the website they they have it on the website by February I think for the whole year you can't Recycling
website water basee you can dry out but not oil Bas oil base I don't know their method because it goes through Union County at their household hous waste collections you'd have to call them to find out how to prepare it but I believe they take it
wet because it's oil based so the water you got to dry it out and then bring it to the county yeah or put in your we'll pick it up our okay actually I talked with raway they said they'll take in the regular trash as long as it's Tred it out okay
I think you can throw it out if it's dry right you throw in the regular trash that's the other thing like Bradway incinerator they're they when they look at household trash it's household it's trash generated by the household so
small items basically I tell everybody if you can fit in a 13 gon large bag throw it out as long as it's not hazardous have you ever seen de but I know where you're going yeah I know the of the show so as long as it's not hazardous cuz
that would be um then you can you can use it in the regular uh garbage pickups wonderful I so no fire no firearms okay all right thank
