>> It's okay. You're going faster than me. We have a just a timely reminder tonight that the deadline to apply for the 2024 property tax relief programs are approaching and that date is October 31st. The programs are combined into a single application. As we've noted
before, the applications uh for the previous programs that are in this combined application are the senior freeze, the anchor program, and the NJ state program. Uh the one application for these tax relief programs can be found on nj.gov. And as always, please call or stop by the tax office if you
have any specific questions. And that's it. Mayor, >> thank you, council. Department of Public Works Council. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um, residents are reminded that paper and cardboard will be collected on November 5th instead of November 4th due to a holiday closure. Co-mingled recycling will be collected
on November 12th instead of November 11th. Leaf collection will commence on October 27th on the south side, then go into a rotational schedule with the north side being done on the week of November 3rd. Residents are reminded to keep leaf
piles free of branches, pumpkins, and non-vegetive yard uh waste. Dead flowers and non-wooded vegetation will be accepted in leaf piles. Please refrain from parking vehicles on leaf piles and piling leaves on top of
storm drains. Um, we collected and disposed of 239 tons of municipal solid waste for a total cost of Is that 19,000? 19,122. We collected and transported 97 yards of mixed vegetation for a total cost of
2280. Collected and transported 28.6 tons of loose comingle recyclables for a total cost of $2,14.50. Uh, free bulk pickups have been concluded for 2025. Residents still have
the option to pay for all alle cart bulk drop off or pickup at the burough clerk's office. Uh, we welcome several new members to the Kennorth DPW crew, which now brings us up to full strength for serving our two communities with greater speed and
efficiency. And that's all I have. >> Thank you, Councilman. Department of Public Safety. Councilman Finstropper. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh not much to report this month. Uh between now and our next uh meeting, uh there will be uh
Halloween on October 31st, which is a Friday. Uh just want to make sure everybody is mindful and make sure that uh they keep an eye on kids crossing the street and keep the uh speed limit down and be very mindful of darting children because things do happen. Um, and then
on uh Sunday, November 2nd at 2:00 a.m. will be daylight savings time. So, it will get darker earlier and kids will be walking the streets and sidewalks in the dark. So, just be mindful and careful. That's all I have to say. >> Thank you, Councilman. Planning and
zoning. Councilman Scarice. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um our planner Kevin's a little behind on things, but what we do have is the subdivision on that house that was caddy corner on Monroe A is um that's late.
He's late on I guess some paperwork. Uh the police application to convert uh garage into some living space. Uh was late due to his deal uh illness. Onyx came in with a new site plan which is in review with Kevin. And 158 North 9th multi-unit is still in review with
Kevin. And that's all I have to report. >> Thank you, Councilman. Recreation and fire. Councilman Piper. >> Thank you, ma'am. >> The fire report for uh September 2025. During the month of September, the fire department responded to 32 calls. During
these incidents, the fire department traveled 93 miles and utilized 122 man hours. Uh the fire department rescue squad responded to 34 calls traveling 389 miles and utilized over 20 man hours. During the month of September,
the fire department and rescue squad completed 68.5 hours of training. Additional man hours utilized administrative 164, stipen 1,364, building maintenance 20, rescue squad
administrative 8. So the total calls for the month were 66. Total miles traveled were 548 and the total land hours were 1,966.5. That's all I got. >> Thank you, Councilman. Health, Education, and Welfare. Councilwoman
Gioano Cardo. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, first I want to say I have the honor and privilege today of becoming an official member of the Kennaworth Rotary Club. Um, it's a great organization. and a lot of great people
are part of it and I'm learning all the uh nuances of the Rotary and I'm I'm encouraging anybody who's interested uh to either you could go online there's a website there's a Facebook page give me
a call I'll point you in the right direction um especially if you want to become a member we meet every Wednesday at 12:00 for an hour discuss all new um events that we're planning for different organizations and um I just think it's a
really great >> say hi mommy >> and Doug wants to be our next in my photos and I deleted it and went to the next picture. >> That's okay. my dog.
[Music] >> So anyway, um I would just say if anybody's interested, reach out. And once you're a Rotary Rotary member in Kennallorth, you're a Rotary member everywhere where in the world. So >> I dropped the application off to you.
>> It's great. >> Um so I'll start with the health department. Um, Leani has officially left as of the 26th of September, but we have a new hire and she will be at the October 23rd meeting. Um, the rabies
clinic is scheduled for Saturday, December 13th at the firehouse from 10 to 12. Board of Education, we had our first strategic planning meeting last Wednesday at Brley. It was great. Um, about 50 55 people attended. staff,
residents, um whether you have kids in the school or not were there. And it was the first part was listing strengths and challenges of all of the schools, the board of ed in general and collaborating with ideas, how to make it better, what
can be changed. So, uh the next meeting is Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30. Anybody can come. You can still sign up. There's only three meetings, so there's two more. I urge um whoever would like to get involved to come. Brley's
football team has won four in a row and tomorrow night is the fifth game. They're looking to make a a five peak. Um so that will be tomorrow. It's also the annual homecoming game which the king and queen will be crowned and it's
senior night for football cheer band and color guard. The Harding students are participating in the National Walk to School Day on October 22nd. They are meeting here with the mayor and Chief
Campanelli at 8:00 a.m. on October 22nd. And everybody's walking to school. So, if you'd like to participate, meet the mayor here on uh at 8 o'clock. and Chief Campanelli and Superintendent Davies are
working on a an educational program for ebike safety. Everybody sees everything going on with these kids with ebikes. Um so they're going to be working on that. An email went out to all the parents over the weekend and they're going to
plan a couple of assemblies for middle and high school students in November and a bike rodeo that will include the uh Harding students in the spring. Um for the library, one of our staff members there, Robin,
who's been there, I believe over 30 years, has announced she's retiring. She's the children's services coordinating uh coordinator. She'll be there through the end of December. There's a lot of different celebrations planned to honor her time and dedication
to the library. One of which will be December 11th at the library for all community members to come in and out. Uh applications have been posted. I mean um an application uh posting went out. It
closed on the 10th. Many people applied. However, if somebody didn't realize there was some a position available and would like to apply, I would urge you to reach out to Lorraine, who is our library director, and see if you could still submit your application. Um they
are planning an October 23rd build a skeleton uh hand uh as a STEM program from 4 to 5:30 and a Halloween celebration 7 to 8:00 um the same night October 23rd and
there will also be a German Heritage celebration on October 21st at 7:00. Um, Councilman Marorrow, um, for the seniors touched on my first topic there. Make sure you get your
applications in by October 31st for your property tax relief, um, application. And on October 22nd, there will be coffee with a cup at the senior center at 1:00 with Chief Ch uh, Campanelli and
possibly a couple of officers to talk about safety and some other issues. Um, and don't forget there's Boo on the Boulevard and everybody will be out in full force to welcome our students um on
Friday, Halloween. Um, and that's it. That's all I have. >> Can I get a date that you mentioned at the beginning of this vaccine? >> December 13th. It's Saturday, December 13th at the firehouse to 12. >> Thank you. Um, uh, Laura, I remember we
had an issue last year with the timing of the event and the renewal of the licenses that the expiration shot was going to be >> December date is perfect. >> So, this one will work. All right. Great. So, perfect. Thanks.
>> Thank you, Councilwoman. >> Federal engineer. >> Thank you, mayor. >> Hi, Ken. Um today I believe uh the um 2025 roads which includes Monroe Avenue and the parking lot improvements are
being awarded um in a resolution. The walking path uh as I said last meeting is scheduled to start construction uh later this month uh first week of November. And uh the sidewalks have been put out uh into the newspaper. So, we
should be uh looking forward to getting those bids in. And I believe you he also asked last time about uh the walking path. Um I believe near the boulevard, >> right? >> And we're probably going to try to look to see if one of the contractors that
have that we're currently working with now might be able to add that as opposed to putting that out to a contracted bid. So, it'll be cheaper. >> Okay, great. Do you have any time frame on that? Uh we're we're currently uh discussing it with uh some of the contractors.
>> Okay. >> Sorry, Christian and Ken, you can help out with this, too. I thought tonight we were approving the parking lots or voting on the parking lots, I should say. Not necessarily Monroe, unless I'm missing something. Is that going to be a separate resolution or did we mean to
include it here? Yeah, I'm not seeing it on 20. >> What was that? That was a 20 This is called the 2025 NJ dot roadway improvements. >> Yeah, this is specifically talking about the lots. >> Was that the change order we were waiting on?
>> No, that was something different. Uh I I believe I said directly to ICE. >> 226. >> No, 226. >> No, that's a thing. >> I have 22, but I don't see 226 here.
>> 226 is the paving. 227 is a veteran. >> Yeah, I just want to see the row on the paving. If we meant to do that in this one and that's the price. Wonderful. Uh I I'll confer with Laura. I um can see if she got my uh got my letter. I did
make a recommendation for uh for it to be where we did get um for that project. >> All right. And we should we should confirm that what we're going to vote on tonight is not going to include Monroe 2000. We're going to authorize if this
goes through what does it include department >> that's just that's just department separate one for mineral which are which are missional you got this one here >> around this building you have the parking lot across the street >> police department >> you have the uh parking behind the
detective dur um you have the parking lot behind here and then behind next to the recreational building >> so it doesn't does not include the VFW lot >> the VF Just that was not that was done.
>> I haven't been there. I just want to make sure >> it looks great. >> May I ask um lately I've been traveling on Market Street for some reason and noticing it's horrendous between Fake T all the way to the boulevard. That's that's all the utility company. [Music]
>> So we have to wait. >> Yeah, they they have more work to do. That's why they >> I'm going to put a resident on this one. It's like driving on the moon. It is very true. It is. >> Well, we never drove on the moon, but we
assume it might be very similar. >> I believe there's several utilities working on that, not just >> Yes. The gas company and the electrical company. >> Yes. Well, they got to pay curb to curb. >> Yes, they do. And they will. >> Yes. >> Well, another thing they got to run a new sewer line, don't they? For the development that they haven't started
yet. >> There's only a 12-in main, and my understanding is that they had to run a bigger one. It was never designed for I never heard of that. >> I'd have to look into that. >> Have you heard that? >> No. >> I should if it's See if it's just only 12 in. Would 12 in handle it?
>> I'd have to I have to look into I'm not I'm not familiar with >> But I'm just saying you wouldn't want to rip it open again, >> which is this seems to be uh New Jersey style. One quick question. Did you guys ever get a chance to look at that pipe on uh by six street to see if it's collapsed or not?
>> I'd have to look into that. I I'm not >> great with question. Oh, did you know >> Tony and myself? >> Yeah. I just don't know if it was passed or not. You guys didn't do it yet. I fig You have the camera, Greg, or do you have the >> Yeah, we just got to get out there camera right now. We looked we see
delight we can see delight. We just got to get the camera in here now. >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> Blockages. We just got >> Yeah. It's not blocked completely, but Okay. By the way, it was noticeable that recycling got picked up like very early today. Caught people off guard. So,
that's good. That's a good sign. >> We were able to truck. this way. >> Yeah. And uh >> that's great. >> So, it was good to hear something positive about the DPW. >> I hear lots of positive things. >> Anyone have more questions, Christian? Okay. Thank you.
>> CFO. >> Thank you, mayor. Uh we're currently working on the uh annual best practices uh that is due on next Friday and then you guys will discuss it at the following meeting. We'll have to submit it on Friday and we're allowed to uh
formally discuss it uh the the very next meeting. So that's what we will do. Couldn't get it done for tonight. I apologize. That's all I have. >> Thank you. >> Attorney >> uh nothing for the public session. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> Administrator year 52. The community development block grant is open. The county launched a new portal for submittals which we're working on and there will be a resolution on for the November 5th council meeting to prioritize the submitts. Uh 2026 RFPs for professional services have been
advertised and posted to the burough website. They're due by October 24th at 11 a.m. Um, fiscal year 2026 NJDOT grant period is open for roadways and the I'll be working with the engineers to prepare the application for that submittal in
time for the December 17th deadline. Election day is November 4th at David Burley Middle High School. Polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Early voting options are available via the dropbox out in front of the recreation center. And uh the county has assigned
11 early voting locations. You can find that on unionountyvotes.com. Um also on the burrow Facebook page, Burrow of Kennorth, New Jersey announcements and notices. And I do have something for executive session. >> Okay. Thank you.
[Music] >> Speaking of Dropbox, if we had to move it, you have to get the county to move that. >> We cannot move that. I'm >> saying the county has to do it. [Music] Oh, sorry. That's okay. >> Next for council consideration is the
consent agenda consisting of resolutions 25-225 through 25-231. >> Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Motion. >> Second. >> Motion made by councilman, seconded by councilwoman Gio. Roll call.
Resolutions 25-225 through 25-231 have been approved by one motion. All items will be reported individually in full in the minutes. Councilman Bole, yes. Councilman Fella, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Jano, >> yes. >> Councilman Morrow, >> yes. >> Councilman Piper, yes. >> And Councilman Sc. >> Yes. Motion passes.
>> I'd like a motion to open the floor to the public. >> Motion second. >> Motion made by Councilman Piper, seconded by Councilwoman G or Derna. Does anyone have anything to say for the good and well-being of uh Canorth? Please come forward and state your name and address.
[Music] >> Good evening, mayor, board members and council people. Uh Steven Hail representing as you know Cororee. I was before the planning board and uh we see on the consent agenda you adopted the resolution designated I have Mike Tizy
if you recall from the he spoke at at the planning board if you recall they acquired approximately 40 acres of the merc sharing plow site uh and we were before the planning board to convert the former lab into a data center and
they're looking forward to uh working with the burough I might just want to say a few words on behalf of coreweave Welcome. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um honor again to to come before uh the board. Um I'm Mike Trzy. I
run our data center operations globally. So site selection design and construction for coreweave. We have roughly 40 data centers um in across US uh Canada uh Spain, England, uh Norway and Sweden. Um we're not a data center
operator. We are a specialized cloud computing company. So we build supercomputers. My job I'm merely a means to an end. So I'll build the data center and then we'll install the network storage and compute to uh deliver a supercomput that will be uh
when we launch here in in June of next year will be one of the most advanced supercomputers in the world. Um this project is especially important to core. Um we are a New Jerseybased company. Um, our founders started out in the crypto
mining business as a hobby, taking these GPUs in their grandfather's garage and, you know, mining cryptocurrency. Their second property was actually on Carnegie A, I believe, here in Kennallorth where they rented a warehouse to do the same. So, to be able to do this at scale,
super important. Um, to me, it's important because I've been here I've been in the industry for 30 years. um been at Cory 19 months and when I got here we would just lease data center space from operators. This is our first design, build and operate a data center
and it was important to do it in our own backyard. We're headquartered in Livingston. So um the acquisition of the property is a testament to that strategy where we want to land and expand. So we do this first build, we'll deliver 40 megawatt supercomput and we're working on uh what's next for for the balance of
the land that we require. Well, we're uh welcome to Counter Worth and we're happy that you're here. >> We wish you uh lots of success and look forward to partner partnering with you >> and I appreciate you coming out today. My pleasure.
>> One question if you don't mind. A data center of that size, knowing what you know and building these before, how many employees do you expect to bring uh into a building like that? >> Yeah, so for this building we'll be roughly 30. Um uh so we we'll typically average maybe a half to 3/4 of a
full-time equivalent per megawatt is typically our rule of thumb. So again a half to 3/4 that's our model. So again we're building supercomputers. A data center operator is going to build a data center for general consumption because they want to appeal to many different
verticals um which leads to a very inefficient design and they don't offer the level of service that we do. We're purpose building exactly for our supercomputer. So we'll be highly efficient. So the overhead from a power perspective is marginal as compared to
these other data center operators, but we're actually operating a significantly amount more of infrastructure because we have all that network storage and compute to tend to and not just the air conditioning and the electrical that's required to run a data center. I >> think it takes more than 30 people to
run the DPW. Those are onsite people. Now we have network engineers that are offsite. We have a global command center actually that we're going to house in the building in Kennallorth. So that will be one monitoring point for our entire
global portfolio, right? So um big plans there, but there's an army of people behind, you know, in supporting our entire portfolio, but those are on-site resources. I have one more question for you. Thank you for that great answer. Um uh we we love to see the development and the building going on in town and
everything and I'm curious with the supercomputing and all the things you're mentioning usually a short shelf life on the technology. So I'm just wondering you know what you build a supercomputer is that something that iterates now for the next 20 years or is it that you're replacing it and building new things at
the site? So the data yeah the data center infrastructure is designed um for us to have flexibility you know and and be able to optimize its usable life. So that equipment will have usable life that'll be 15 20 years and then and then
some for some of the generators and electrical switch gear or even beyond that the actual tank probably has a usable life of 6 to 7 years. So we can um have the supercomputer and then lease it to one customer um and that could be you know our customers are pretty well
known um major operators and or we can offer it to 20 different customers where we carve out the compute capacity for just general consumption um but our design allows for a refresh right so we've allocated space and it's really
that space we install our next generation of GPUs and I'm just porting the back plane power and cooling over to those GPUs as I retire the other ones. As I retire the other ones, that can then back fill with new GPUs and and keep that process. Okay, this is I'm leading to uh just understanding the
bandwidth needs of the construction department and everything here and it sounds like there will be a cycle where you may have to do some infrastructure type of changes to do your moves and and it seems like it's a 5year. >> They'll they'll be again on the major components of the infrastructure not so
much. So any of the chillers that we would have or the generators or the switch gear that stuff stays right it's it's modular. What what changes what we call in the white space. So on that computer floor is where we may need to do some reconfigurations.
>> Yeah. Right. Or you know all of this stuff is liquid cooled meaning that we're actually taking water and flowing it through the servers and over the chips. We're not just blowing a bunch of cold air at something and making it super inefficient. So those technologies I mean the GPU refresh I mean there's a
new reference architecture every six or nine months right video come out with the next stage and and what is it that we want to build but it's um and it keeps us designers and builders on our toes but again I think from a local construction standpoint it's what else
can we develop on the site you know that that is you know one of the many reasons we chose this particular property. >> Excellent. Well welcome. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Great question. Um when you come like you say you need 30 people or whatever people uh are you you guys are
fully staffed or is there maybe you like looking for local >> No, like I said we will uh we will like likely start so we broke ground which is great. We're under construction. Um we will start bringing in the operators of the data center. So the electrical and mechanical staff uh just after the new
year and we will be ramping up our technical support and security staff probably in March. So, and you know, we've um we've done a lot in some of our more remote locations going into schools. Um we actually develop training
curriculums. We engage with military organizations and and bringing folks that are coming back into civilian life and bringing them into our data center. So, yeah. Well, those jobs will be posted and um you know, we're early on. we're kind of just through the demolition phase and doing some site
work. But once we start swinging hammers and and getting the infrastructure installed, that's when we like to have our operators as part of that so they can see it during the construction process. >> So that's around March, you say? >> That will be around January. And then our center technicians, so as we
progress the infrastructure, right, then we start into that white space or the computer room area. Then we'll start bringing in the data center technicians that are actually going to be hands-on on the compute, right? They they will never touch a UPS or a generator and that's the other folks who come on the road.
>> Okay. Thank you. Well, >> being in the financial industry and I know how we have our clients data, make sure there's no malware. Watch what you open on emails. You must have a tremendous firewall malware protection.
That is well beyond my depth. But yes, that that's in the uh CISO organization and I'm just the the physical layer guy. Hey, I can't do what you're doing. >> That's right.
>> Okay. >> Well, again, it's a pleasure to be I thank you so much. >> We again wanted to be here on the night that you were adopting the resolution and designation. We're working with your attorney and Mr. Mr. Nelson to uh finalize the redevelopment agreement and
look forward again to uh >> Great. >> Looking forward. >> We we do as well. Thank you. Have a great night everyone. >> You too. [Music] Anyone else? Okay. Seeing no, I make a motion to
close the floor for public discussion. >> Second. >> Motion made by Councilman Finest Straw. Seconded by Councilman Scurice. Okay. I think we can do the general business after we'll do the executive session now
since the professionals are here. [Music] >> I don't believe we're taking any action afterwards. >> Right. >> Um the council has need to uh enter into executive session. There will be no formal action taken after executive
session. So everyone knows. I'd like a motion to uh enter executive session. Second. >> Motion made by Councilman Bole, seconded by Councilman Piper. All in favor? >> Okay. Thank you everyone.
