evening, which is the month of March. Whereas the month of March is recognized nationwide as Women's History Month, a time to honor the contributions, achievements, leadership, and enduring impact of women throughout our nation's history. This
year's theme, as designated by the National Women's History Alliance, is leading the change, women shaping a sustainable future. The 2026 theme celebrates women who are driving meaningful change, strengthening
communications, advancing opportunity, protecting our environment, building inclusive economics, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Women have always been at the forefront of progress, often without recognition,
yet never without impact. From the historic pioneers who broke barriers and expanded rights to modern innovators and public servants who continue to shape policy, education, business, healthc care, science, and civic life. Women
have transformed challenges into opportunities and vision into action. Here in the bureau of Kennorth, women serve every day as elected officials, volunteers, educators, first responders, business owners, professionals,
caregivers, advocates, and mentors. They lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and contribute immensely to the strength, safety, and vitality of our community. This leadership reflects the spirit of service, and dedication that defines Kennallorth. Women's
History Month is not only a time to reflect on the achievements of the past, but also to recognize the work that continues ensuring that women and girls have access to opportunity, representation, and the resources needed to thrive.
By celebrating women's accomplishments and supporting their continued achievement, we help shape a more equitable and sustainable future for all. Now therefore, be it proclaimed that the mayor and council of the Burrow of Kettleworth do hereby recognize March
2026 as women's history month and encourage all residents to honor the women who've paved the way, celebrate the women who lead today, and inspire young women who will shape tomorrow. And I would like to present this um proclamation to our council woman uh

ordinance during this last storm. Municipal parking lots are not for private overnight parking. Those in violation will be issued summones. Police Kennw have been working diligently to clear the roads. Work with us to ensure
everyone can drive safely on our streets. Do not throw the snow from your property into the roadway. Please clear snow from your vehicle to ensure safe driving for you and other drivers. Please do not place items in a roadway

traditional Lapsit PJ story time, yoga story time, yarnies, they're actively going. There's activities every day at the library. So, please go on their calendar, sign up for classes or events that need registration, but there's a
lot happening. The seniors, they have our next big event is um at the senior center Thursday, March 19th is soups on. You could get tickets and I believe it starts at 5:30. And on March 27th at
5:30 at the VFW, the Girl Scouts are doing an AMREF 250 um geared event. It's called Thinking Night, Our History, Our Friends, and different roles that the various states
played in the Revolutionary War. And there will be postcard exchanges and things from all uh the states on display. So that'll be a nice activity as well. The health department uh meeting is next Thursday the 12th. So I'll have a report on the following um
council meeting. And the last is a report from Katie Lima that I mentioned earlier who is the student liaison um for Brley a senior and she gives a very detailed eloquent report and I'll just
give you a quick summary of some highlights um going on at Brley. Uh they launched a new scholarship website that seniors can go on and see various scholarship offers for colleges, vocational uh schools, all different
things. And it's they're listed on their Google Chrome class uh class book. So they could go on and get all the information there. Also, Brley has a new it's a club. It's called the model UN and it's like a mini UN and they will be
attending uh it's the first time they're attending the conference in North Brunswick which is a North Brunswick model UN conference on March 21st. Right now they have 30 members but 20 of the
students will be attending this con uh conference and there's various activities and awards that are given out. So, um I'm excited that such an important role um is available and a club is available to our students. And
uh this past January 7th, the Brley juniors and seniors took a an exam. It's called the seal of by literacy. So any student who is bilingual, you take an exam as far as um of course you're being
able to speak the language but also read and write the language. And if you pass the exam, you get a certificate and it's stamped on your diploma. And that is a really um important achievement that you would assist you when you're looking for
different colleges or tech schools, but eventually going out into the job market to have this certification. So, it's another thing that was offered um to our juniors and seniors this year. So, I think there's a lot happening and I
asked Katie if she would share her report with me so I can uh share it with all of you. but I also invited her to attend. But um she works quite a bit at night, but hopefully she'll be able to come up and present herself. She's a
really great representation as well as Hector who's in the audience here of what Kennaworth students are accomplishing and duty doing um in our schools. So that's all we have. Thank you. >> Thank you, Councilwoman.
>> Fereral Engineer. getting there. Uh not too much work is going on right now. Very limited projects. Um just still waiting for most of the snow to melt uh for uh some of these contractors to get back out there. I'm coordinating with some of them to kind of get a schedule now that the
weather has been seems to be uh lessening up and temperatures are rising. That's pretty much it for now. >> Okay, questions. Okay, thank you. Thank you, >> Bar Sampa.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, we're just working diligently on the 26 uh budget and the finance committee will be meeting Monday night. >> Great. Great. Thank you, Madam Attorney. >> I don't have anything to report. >> Okay. Thank you, Madam Administrator.
Thank you, mayor. I just want to know the change coming from the state regarding how municipalities publish legal notices. Beginning March 1st, legal notices will primarily be posted on municipal websites instead of in the newspapers. To prepare for that change, the bureau has added a legal notices
page to our website and there the residents can view all current notices free of charge along with archives of past notices and this will give the public one simple place to find official burrow notices moving forward and helping to reduce the cost of our publications. Uh
in addition to the LEAP grant that we're putting in for the sewer um jeter back, we're also putting in actually I have submitted a grant for Keep America Beautiful. It's the 2026 cigarette litter prevention and recycling program. If awarded, the funding will allow us to
install cigarette butt receptacles along the boulevard and relaunch a recycling initiative aimed at reducing litter, protecting waterways, and improving the appearance of our business corridor. I just have two reminders. Uh petition filing for the June primary is due
Monday, March 23rd by 400 p.m. All petitions must be in my office. We also the next regular council meeting or only we meet on Wednesdays on the 18th. This next meeting we had to reschedule. So we will be meeting Monday the 16th at 6 p.m. And I also wanted to put a uh thank
you out there to our DPW and our police department for safely relocating our collators this afternoon. Thank you guys. That's all I have. >> Thank you. >> Next for council consideration is the consent agenda consisting of resolutions
26-80 through 26-92. >> Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Second. >> Motion made by Councilman Foil, seconded by Councilwoman Gardano Piserno. Roll call. Resolutions 26 through-80 through 26-92 have been approved by one motion.
All items will be reported individually in full in the minutes. Councilman Bole, yes. Councilman Finella, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Jerno, >> yes. >> Councilman Morrow, >> yes. >> Councilman Piper, >> yes. >> And Councilman Sc. >> Yes. >> Motion passes. Okay. At this time, I'd like a motion to open the floor to the
public. >> Motion. Second. >> Motion made by Councilman Scar, seconded by Councilman Piper. Does anyone have anything to say for the good and well-being of Counterworth? Please come forward and state your name and address. Hi. Um, I've been told I should be very
quick because someone has a basketball game to go to. I have I have two things I want to bring to the attention of the council and everyone. >> Joey, I'm sorry. Could you uh just state your name and address, please? >> Oh, yeah. Um
34 North 14th Street. Joey Grimaldi, not to be confused with my nephew. >> Thank you. Um anyhow, so um Mrs. U Tony Gordano Presserno, you cover the school, correct? Yes.
>> Okay. Um >> I live I live on 14th Street. I see I see the way this the snow gets plowed and stuff. Um, can can the can the Kenn the Kennallorth school people the the guy that runs runs
the machine, could he go on Kennallorth roads and snowb blow on on that side of the street, snowb blow into the field, go all the way to to the other end of the street at Monroe
and then and then come up on the school sidewalk and then blow the snow in in the school field because the the um the snow was all piled up.
Now, yes, we had two tremendous snowstorms, which we should be good for another 10 years, but um all I see I see the people the the the mothers and fathers parking across the street and
they're parking next to like 2 3 ft of snow because we had so much. But if if the school guy goes on the Kennart Street, borrows it into the field, you know, goes around the perimeter >> fence into the field
>> from No, from the street into the fence and then get up on the sidewalk and come down the other way and walk into the street because then the parents would be able to,
you know, get get their kids in and now from the the the sidewalk side. >> Well, I know I know Justin and Greg worked together beautifully and Mr. Davies actually wrote a letter to mayor
and council wanting to point that out. So, I'm sure whatever they could do, they did do. You can't blow snow in the street, so that wouldn't be appropriate. But like you said, there was so much that even when Yeah. You know, so I'm
sure whatever they were able to do, and I don't know how effective it would be going through the fence, I imagine it would get caught on the chain link and possibly damage it. But I'm I know they took all of that into consideration, the
heavy traffic on 14, parents and students trying to walk and get to wherever. But I know they all collaborated really well together to get that school up and running. I think when a lot of surrounding towns or schools
were closed, we were open the next day. >> So, I'm sure whatever they could do, they did. >> Okay. Um, my second thing, um, I bought two wonderful
Kennorth 250th anniversary uh, challenge coins. And I have one at home and the other one I just delivered today to
um the the Gun for Hire pistol range at Woodland Park, New Jersey. And they have and they've had it for maybe about a year or
so. They have a challenge coin museum and they have they have a lot of challenge coins. They they're up in northern Jersey and they got they got a lot of the northern Jersey police
departments and um there's some uh 911 specific ones and uh military and police and >> that's interesting >> and fire and and ambulance all all of that the there
>> it's it's a beautiful it's a beautiful thing. So, what I would like to say is if uh Councilwoman Perno and or Bob, where are you? Um, if you
guys would want to bring one of these to to the next board of education meeting and see if the school wants to do a a field trip or something up there to see the the challenge coins cuz they're
really beautiful and there's so many. That's really >> um and uh the other thing is now um police chief uh Paul is not here. I I assume he's doing well in recuperating
and you are >> uh pastor captain >> captain Captain Pastor. >> Okay. Um maybe you could uh tell your guys about the the uh the coin museum as well. >> Absolutely. And I also have some uh
stuff that maybe you might want to pass on to um I forget his name, but um you're a firearms guy and or just any other of the officers or patrolman. Um I'll give it to you at at the end. And
and that's that's all I have. >> Thank you. >> Oh, look. It's it's still Thank you. Anyone else from the public wishing to speak? Come on up. My name is Ricky Roman and I live South
Street. >> I actually just want to ask some questions. They don't have to be answered now. I just want to know, excuse me. Would you mind speaking? I hear you. Sure. We don't want to miss anything. Okay. A lot of people are complaining. I'm not that Facebook
complainer person. Whatever. I want to talk about the snow. I want to talk about DPW. I want to talk about us working with Rosel Park. I want answers. I want to know where all the money is. Who's plowing these streets that are
doing not a good job. And I'm not putting anybody down. I'm not making anybody lose their jobs. I'm not That's not me. That's not me. But I want to answer this. I want to know what's going on. Okay. We've asked to have a tree cut down in front of the house because we
are having major sewer backups in the house. We were told there's no money. There's no money for bulk pickup. The plow on 20th Street, knock on wood, no cars were parked on the street, but the plow was down the middle of the street, came up the middle street. Nothing was
plowed like a normal plowing job. We have garbage man network. Again, I'm not putting them under the throwing them under the bus. We have garbage men that go to work 5:00 in the morning, pick up the garbage, and they're done by 8:00.
So, we're paying them 8 hours for maybe a 3 4 hour job when they could be doing other things in this town such as plowing, weeding, or doing whatever. I just want to know where all the money went. I want to know what's going on
with all these things. Why I can't I know I'm skipping all over the place. Sorry. Why I can't get a tree cut down, but the guy down my street told me he got his tree cut down because he wanted it for a parking spot. I'm a little confused on what's going on
in this town. I've been here in the same house for 67 years. Okay. I've never seen people complain the way they're complaining on Facebook about the lights up town, the plowing. Listen, if it snows at 6:00 in the morning, I don't
expect the streets to be clouded at 8. Come on. There are human beings that are doing this job. But after a certain point, it should be somewhat safe and plowed, and the street should be plowed a little bit better. Some of the people I see that we hire at
DPW should not be working at DPW. They can barely walk. They're elderly. I mean, you know, it's kind of like everything I feel with the DPW right now. I'm really upset with more than anything. Again, we got a lot of money from Roso Park. I feel bad for Roso Park, too.
They're complaining, too. You know, we lost our guys. We're short manpower. We're short money. What is really going on? And our taxes go up. >> I also have a question. Did you have There was a tree cut down for my street.
I never spoke to the personally. I was told >> was on the I don't understand how it was cut down for a parking spot. >> Listen, I don't have like oral information. That's why I'm very careful what I say. I don't again want to get anybody in trouble, but some of my
neighbors told me you can't get that tree down cuz our sewer kicks back up. I keep having >> No, we've talked about it. We've met about this before. >> Really bad. And it's still going on. and they said, "I can't believe you can't get your tree cut down when the guy down the end of the street at the
dead end got his cut down by the town because of the way the the dead end is and for parking, additional parking. >> I'm going to confirm that again. >> You do you don't know the address of that? Do you know the address there?"
>> No, it's supposedly the last house on the right. Again, I can be misinformed. That's why I'm very gentle in what I say. I'm very careful. But I do want some answers. You know, taxes go up, we get money for all the park, but nothing's really being
done. You know, I'm just I I can't answer all your questions because the superintendent is sitting right there, Greg. I I would suggest maybe you have a meeting with him and and go through your
concerns and have him address whatever your concerns are. And I agree. You see a lot of things on Facebook. I think Facebook is a for cowards. >> Yeah. >> And a lot of misinformation gets put on
there that's not fair >> to the people because it's just negative things going out and you don't have the opportunity to defend yourself or answer the question. It just starts a firestorm. I've heard good and bad things about our
merger. I have a lot of friends that live in Roselle Park that love it and feel that the the merger has made it more professional than what they've experienced. >> I don't see that.
>> And I've been living here 30 years and I don't I don't see anything so negative as you're painting it. But you have your own situation and that's fair. So if I were you, I would go right
to the source and he's here and he's here every day with that and maybe you can have a conversation so you do get the right information, not what somebody said. >> That right information could be wrong. Correct.
>> 37 South. >> So my thing is, but it doesn't make his thing right and mine wrong. Just like it doesn't, you're telling me it doesn't make mine right. I think great that you're here to and you could have a conversation. >> This is where I feel it should be. Not on Facebook, whatever other stuff
everybody uses. >> I just don't answer this. Like we get money. We have workers that >> I haven't seen any workers that can't walk. But yeah, >> I don't I don't know. >> I could clarify, too. The money we get from Rosel Park for the DPW merger that
we had goes to paying the salaries and the benefits for the employees that we hired so we could service the town. We're not profiting from that >> and I'm not send anybody. The point is but then when you reach out and you say we're short staff or this and that. So
we have no money to do We hired nine individuals and I understand during the storm there were about six people total and a large DBW now with the extra nine people that were out if I have the numbers wrong Greg I think it was around something you had people calling out I mean that's just the the nature of human
beings like you said before but uh that's where the money goes full transparency we're we're paying for the salaries and the benefits of all the workers on the DPW we had to increase the staff nine people after the merger and that's where the 1.6 6 million that we >> then how come we need something they said cuz what I keep hearing is we're
short staff or we don't have money >> I don't know where you hear that from cuz the trees we we influxed $100,000 last year at the end of the year so we could cut down all the trees that needed servicing. We had one fall on the gentleman's car and we came up here and we we did what we needed to do with the
budget to funge the money right into the trees cutting. Uh from what I understand we cleared out all the backlog of the tree removal requests that had been approved. And I know that trees just don't come down. They have to be inspected. The DPW goes out there. They need to be dying for us to cut them
down. Otherwise, they don't get cut down. So, I'm not sure exactly what happened with your tree situation, my tree. And if it was your house, I'm not saying I'm not all over it, too. >> I'm not arguing with you. There's just a process that goes through. We we put all the money into the budget last year so
we can clear out all the trees that were there. Um, so if there was one missing, I'm not saying that yours was or wasn't on the list. just >> No, no, we and I believe she spoke to you. >> No, in regards to her trade, I never told her we didn't have any money. I told her we're not making that. >> I told her we're not cutting it down
because the armor said it's perfectly healthy. She wanted to cut down to replace her sewer lateral. And the arborist said that the sewer lateral is far enough away from the tree that if she were to take it up, place a sewer lateral, it would not impact the health of the tree. As long as she they kept
the trench minimal to the um to the lateral replacement and the house that she's referring to at the end of South, that guy removed that tree after we told he removed the large section of the tree without our approval. So we told him
that it's his tree now because he violated our code. It was in council that DPO committee approval at the time. This is when I first started working here. And then once he got that um email, he removed the entire tree himself. >> So he did he paid it was he paid for the
>> whole thing himself. So >> paid for it. Okay. Well, that's good to clear that up from you. >> Yeah. >> But now the water company told us it's landlord's problem. He they will not put a new pipe in our thing until they cut the tree out because the roots are that
bad. So I live with my kids in a house that's keep coming back up in the basement for surge. We actually had so many people there and paid a lot of money to get this checked. The mild the whatever. Listen, come live in my house for a little bit and you'll see what I'm
talking about. It's constantly backed up. But the water company will not put a new pipe in till the trees come. >> Do you have a report from the water company? Cuz that would be very useful. I think that will definitely get it >> and then Greg we could take with your contact at the water. I would
call them and I'll explain the situation and see if we can work something out cuz I've done that with other residents. They said the same thing was to replace a water meter out at the curb. They wanted the tree cut down. We came to a different compromise where the treatment had to be
cut down but the water coming still. So, let me talk to them >> cuz we keep going back and forth with him like big time. My husband died and we're under that warranty thing. He paid for that and they said they >> Can you send us that letter? Can you send that letter? If you send it to me, I can send it out to the I'll send it
out to uh the finance committee and um DPW. >> Okay. I appreciate that. >> And like all the other concerns I have, it's just it's frustrating. It's just things that keep building up. You know, I go from that. I go from the way the
street was plowed. I go from having money, not having money, not having manpower, having I'm just over it. I just wanted some answers to see what's going on. You know, this is the place to do it. Am I right? >> Absolutely right. >> Absolutely right.
>> So, I still feel I'm not fully satisfied. >> That's fine. And if you would work with me, I'd appreciate that, you know, so I can get out of this mess at the house. Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Anyone else?
>> Okay, seeing no one, I'd like a motion to close the floor for public discussion. >> Second. >> Motion made by Councilman Scarice, seconded by Councilman Piper. All in favor? >> Okay. Is there any general business that
uh uh anyone would like to discuss? Um, what's up? >> What's your up? >> No, I I would just before we conclude tonight, uh, mayor, I'd just like to take a moment to wish all of our military personnel that are serving overseas safety and strength as they
deal with a war and I uh, want to thank them for their service to our country. That's all there. >> Okay. Is there any work um, shop anything anyone wants to talk about? >> No, the recreation situation. I'm going to have a meeting with uh Joe Cino,
myself, Kristen, and Joe Grass next. >> Joe Ceino, yourself. >> That's the rec committee. >> Okay. I thought you were not on the rec committee. >> Wait. >> Yeah. Police find your police. Uh
>> uh the one you chair and what's your DPW, right? >> DPW. >> Mine. And what would be the public? >> Yep. I'm wrong. Okay. I think it might >> And that's to discuss the fees, right? >> Is that to discuss the fees? Is that
>> Yes. And then we're going to talk. >> Okay. We'll have a conversation about our next meeting. Okay. >> Anyone else? Anything? >> So, well, I I just want I don't know what the conversation is. I guess it's about fees for the summer camp. And I
know that um Rosel Park, they're modifying their camp because they're under construction or something. And um so I I think we need to whatever your
conversation is going to be, really consider that. Um, >> Rosaro Park was going to roll back their camp, but I believe they rolled back that statement in >> Yeah, but it may not it may not be in its entirety, but as part of the Rotary

that. So, Something has to be done with the fees that are being charged. >> That's the exact thing announcement wants to discuss with this committee >> because you don't want it to just be like warehousing kids in the summer in a hot
gym. It used to have more stuff going on. I remember when my grandkids went and that was only like 3 years, four years ago, there would be a big celebration in the beginning, something at the end, four trips during
this summer and a lot of that has had to be cancelled cuz the funds aren't there. >> There's logistical stuff to talk about. >> Yeah. >> Right. We're increasing, you know, fees to generate revenue, but where we're going to increase them, that's to be determined, >> right? >> That's all.
>> Okay. Okay. Councilman Marorrow. So we wish all troops be safe so far. We pray for our family through that loss. But uh hopefully it be a very
calm world after we get through this and peace in the long run. Hopefully it will save lives and a lot of people getting hurt over time. Okay. Joe, are there any holidays you'd like to announce?
Not >> will be March 17th. >> No, we'll be here before that >> before and then St. Joseph the 19th. >> Well, it is women's history month everyone. >> Okay. Okay. If there's nothing else to
