everyone about some activities going on this summer um that are open to Lake Ko residents. So, you can find them on their website, belmare.com. And they include kids running club, um, summer basketball, summer tennis, and a new summer camp they have that's a marine

Other than that, all matters are in order. Thank you, Council President Whitty. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, during the meeting, we will be introducing the budget for the year 2025. At that point,
I'll go into detail more about it, other than that matters in order. Thank you. Um, for my report, I just have two things. Um, as you know, once a month I, uh, host coffee with the mayor here at Barrow Hall almost every month. We do
have to skip a couple of months. Um, but this past Saturday, was it past Saturday? No, two Saturdays ago, I had coffee with the mayor here and I had a number of residents and uh, we talked about a lot of things. Um, the most concerning though I think for our residents was the
state of some of our sidewalks and uh curbs and cleanliness of of the streets and uh the overall properties in town. Um so it's a conversation that I had with our bureau administrator and some of our DPW. Uh we're looking into new
plans and new procedures for street cleaning. Um, I also think it's important to reach out to our residents and ask them to keep their property clean. I think it's very important too to remind our residents that we do have
uh town ordinance for how people put out their garbage. Garbage should be put out in the street in a rigid container with a lid. I see a lot of garbages out in the morning when I'm walking the dog and they're just sitting there in bags and a lot of them are ripped open and the animals get into them and the garbage
gets all over the street. So, I encourage our residents to uh go on our website and review our ordinance for um proper way to put their garbage and recyclables to the curb. And I encourage them as we get closer to the summer to
take a little extra care in the maintenance and cleanliness of their property. Um, so I I thank them. I thank the residents at Coffee with the Mayor for bringing that to my attention and I look forward to uh to seeing cleaner streets out there.
Um, second and more fun. Uh, this week, May 4th through May 10th, is Municipal Clerk's Week. Um, our municipal clerk, Amy, who just recently became a uh full-time municipal clerk here in Lake
Ko, uh, was is rated the number one municipal clerk in Mammoth County for this year. And even more impressive, number three in the state. I heard it was three. It's four. Okay.
Sorry. It was four in the state. Um, it's really impressive. Uh, and I'm I'm going to say it's really impressive because, um, the nominations that come in, the number of nominations you get really is where your rating is. So, you got more nominations than any other
bureau clerk in Mammoth County. We are the 10th smallest community in the state. And to be, what did I tell you, Miss Sh? Yeah. Uh, to be [Music]
number to be number four in the state and the 10th smallest community is really amazing. Um Amy and all our municipal clerks are essential to the executive function of our municipality. Amy is not just a friendly face. She is the keeper of all the records. She
manages all of our elections and monitors all legislative documentation to say just a few things that you do. So, from the council, from the mayor and council, we want to say thank you to Amy and we did go out and get you some flowers
because actually Heather went out and had flowers from from the mayor and the council. Congratulations. Thank you. You got to put them up in front of you so nobody can see your face. Sounds good to me. Thank you. So, congratulations to Amy
and congratulations and uh I just want to recognize all our municipal clerks in in our municipalities around the area. So, thank you for that. Um other than that, all matters are in order. Um we will move on to public comments on the consent agenda and new business. Um
if anyone from the public wants to come up and talk about anything that's listed on the agenda and agenda items only, they can do that now. Oh, sorry. I will open that up. Can I have a motion to open that up? So move. Second. All in favor? I opposed. Anyone wishing to speak can come to the mic now. Seeing
none, I'll take a motion to close. So move. Second. All in favor? I. All right. With that, um, we will have our introduction portion. Um, before I ask Doug to read the introduction, I'm going
to ask our newly minted CFO, um, official CFO, Miss Sam Waters, to talk a little bit about the budget this year, how it compares to the budget last year, where we are with, um, how we're raising money through taxes and the percentages
of what that money being raised. Sure. So uh this year with help of the finance committee we were able to put together a budget um with the amount to be raised for taxation which is our municipal portion is actually about
$4,500 less than last year. So with that proposed amount to be raised with 3.261 million um the proposed municipal tax rate is looking at a 388 which is about five five pennies less than last
year. So it's about a reduction in the tax municipal tax rate of 13%. Um you want to talk also I just want to let you know that the average price of a house resident house in Lake Como is
$824,000. That's the average house assessment value. Now you may people uh since we have a a reduction in our tax rate and the tax money we're getting is the same from last year but the resident may see an increase because the property
value has gone up. So just because the the rate goes down doesn't mean that your your taxes are going down because your property value has gone up. My house has gone up this past year 20%. More in my house. So, some houses
went up, some went down, but you have to take that into consideration when you see your tax bill. That's all I'm saying. Other than that, um I do I do want That's the bad news and the good news. That's the way it is. I do want to make a couple of comments
on this. Um, and then I'll I'll open up to the council if they want to make any comments or questions. Um, we have been talking about assessments in Lake Como for many years, but more ferociously I think over the
last year and a half. Um, our tax assessments, our home assessments come from the county. And then, as many of you know, our budget is broken down or our taxes are broken down into three separate rates. One of those rates comes
from the school system, one of those rates comes from the county, and one of those rates comes from the municipality. The role of this council to try to combat the ADP system that assesses our homes every year is to try to lower our
rate as much as we can to give as much balance as possible. Um, we will never be able to lower our rate at the same size, I guess you could say, or the same amount as those assessments are going up in town. But we have to do our best to
try to keep up with it. So, we are lowering our rate significantly this year. It's the first time that this town has ever been under um 4 cents. And uh I want to thank the work of our CFO and
the work of everyone in our bar hall and our finance committee um which consists of uh Council President Whitty and myself uh in making the decisions to try to keep that municipal rate down. When a homeowner gets a tax bill,
they need to understand that the municipal rate has gone down. The school rate has remained flat. We do not know what the county rate is going to be. Um when does that usually go down, Sam? July. Usually that's when all of our rates will get certified by the county
is once the budget. And because of that, this year's any money that is increased in taxes from the homeowner is not realized until the second half of the year. So when a when a homeowner opens up their tax bill for the second half of the year, they will they will
see that it is more money than the first half of the year. And that is because it is making up for that rate that we're getting in the middle of the year. Um that is usually when we start having conversations about home assessments uh August September when people realize
that they have to increase their taxes or their taxes have been increased. This is a first reading uh it is an introduction and we will have a public comment on it in one month June 3rd uh at the uh June 3rd council
meeting. Do we have any comments or questions from the council at this time? All right. See, we don't have to read anything. We don't have to read the resolution. No, that's approved. Yeah, okay. Motion
tot. Okay. Roll call, please. Council member Wy, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. The budget is introduced. Thank you all very much for your hard
work. Uh we have one item under the consent agenda. Uh can I have a motion to approve the move? Second. All in favor? I opposed. All right. Extensions. Seeing none, we will move on to our first resolution offered by me. Um this is resolution
2025. 2025-70. Um, and this is in recognition of um our Belmar Police Department who is once again taking part in the National Police Week and the Police Unity Tour. This is something that I
know our uh our chief and members of our police department take very seriously and take very close to heart and it's something they participate in every year. Um the resolution whereas in 1962, President Kennedy signed public law
establishing May 15th as National Police Officer Memorial Day and the week of May 15th falls as National Police Week. Whereas National Police Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week was supported by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962. And whereas public law
was amended by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 by President Bill Clinton signing public law directing that the flag of the United States be displayed on all government buildings at half staff on May 15th of each year. Whereas the Police Unity Tour established in May of
1997 consists of bike riders and support staff who travel from New Jersey to Washington DC to bring public awareness to police officers that have been killed in the line of duty and to raise funds for the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. Whereas the journey is long and challenging, but for
the Police Unity Tour participants, it is what they prepare for throughout the year through fundraising and fiscal training. They know that their effort Their efforts raise awareness for the ultimate sacrifice made by so many law enforcement officers. And in 2023, the
Police Unity Tour and its 2,000 members were proud to donate $2.2 million to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Now therefore, be it resolved that the mayor and council of Burrow of Lake Ko support the police unity tour, its police officers,
especially Belar Police Chief Tina Scott, Sergeant Phil Borman, Sergeant John Mahoney, Sergeant Brian Poppert, Detective Larry Kelly, Patrolman Nicole, Patrol Woman Nicole Hawkins, Patrolman Kevin Marone, Special Officer Ryan Brazwell, and Dispatcher Morgan Barney,
and recognize and support National Police Week and National Peace Officers Memorial Day today, May 6th, 2025. Um, just as a a side note, um, and I and I say this every year, I I talked to the
chief about this a little bit. She came to coffee with the mayor this month, by the way. So, uh, she she knows what it's like to be the mayor now. Um, just a little bit on the side, 2016, I think, Belmar police started working here in
Lake Ko. Um, and we really never have looked back. And I know today is to recognize um fallen officers and uh the memory of fallen officers, but I think it's important to say whenever we have the opportunity to say thank you to all of our police officers, um you that are
here and and the ones that are not here that serve our community every day, um we respect what you do and we value your presence in this town and we value what you do for our residents. So, from all of us to all of you, thank you very much
and um good luck. Um I know Drew really wants to go with you um but for some reason he can't get off of work this year to go with you uh and ride all the way to Washington DC. So, congratulations. I'm going to ask you guys to come up to um get a copy of the
resolution and take a picture. I don't know if you want the council in the picture. Nick, you want to be chairperson? All right. Thanks. Good luck. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations. [Music]
Thank you. Thanks for coming. You can't you can't ride. You're under new orders. All right, moving on in new business, we have ordinance 2025-6, which is a second reading of public hearing offered by
Councilman Danto. Thank you, Mayor Solo offered ordinance 2025-6, an ordinance of the Bur of Lake Como, amending the salary ranges of certain Burrow of Lake employees. Um, position director of code enforcement will have a base salary range of $40,000 to $60,000.
Water sewer sewer collector will have a base salary range of $10,000 to $20,000. Technical assistant to the construction official will have an hourly amount of $2 to $6. Certified recycling professional um per annual report range of $400 to $600. Clean communities
coordinator per annual report pay $400 to $600. Thank you. This is second reading um in public hearing. At this time I'll open to the public for anyone who wants to speak to this ordinance. Seeing none, I will close. Ask for a second. Second. Roll call,
please. Council member, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Um, point of order. I am going to pause our agenda because I forgot a part of my um report. And at this time, I need to
call up our SERSA representative to talk about flow. And I apologize that I forgot about you, Kev. Sure. I got I got caught up in the moment. I know. First of all, Congratulations uh Kevin Lynch 1823 Parkway in South Mountain Visual
Authority in honor of the NBA playoffs. This is like a halftime report of our report. Um speak of budgets this is how our budget is you know calculated each year. So for example, the 2025 budget it was
6.33% of the submers bill um because of the low flow and dry season in September and October we had no rain or drought. Um and we're trending lower almost almost 1% but less again only seven months in but it's always good to know
what it is in terms of for 2026 where we can be at in terms of where we're trending. That's all I wanted to give the the council and it's all again for budget purposes always. So, um I know we kind of ask this every
year. Um what does that mean? Right? What does that mean that we're we're at 5.45% as compared to 6.33. Is that a good thing? Is that a not so good thing? It's a great thing because in terms of the overall budget, the cost for the
eight towns is about $9 million to you know to service you know sewer plug for all eight towns. Uh so that our share for 2025 is 6.3% of that number. So if our percent share goes down we pay less in terms of
overall budget. If our share goes up um we pay more than that. So um you know that's why c certain towns uh when we have a lot of rain and high uh high ground water or you have like sewer lines really submerged in ground water and we're just cleaning clean water. So
to give you example you know November November uh we were at 5 million gallons and that's because we had a drought for two months you know and then postpone in April April showers bring the flowers uh you know you're looking at 10 million gallons so what was double of the flow
in terms of what we're treating but So a lower percent share just says that we pay less um you know in the upcoming year and um you know this will always be an
issue. Who knows when people are pumping their sewer uh their water in their basement into the sewer line which is illegal. Um and uh you know that's something that we've always been battling all our life. Do you have a comparison
like year to year in terms of what the flow like like right now this past April was 10.99. Do you know what April was last year? off my head but I don't know exactly what was
normally I do that but uh but yeah we have we have I have you know 15 years of data in terms of every single year uh in terms of you know what was April last year versus and the other thing I think we always talk about you know we talk about a dry season versus a wet season
the sewage company does not process rainwater however we do have iodine right in certain areas where that rain water does get into the the more water in the ground, more water is getting into the system, which is why you have high somehow. Yeah. So, we don't know how, whether it's joints,
whether it's pumping from their basement. Yeah. Um, but again, it's it's um, you know, and again, there's other towns that have the same problem, same issues. So, um, you know, all towns should be in newer system. You can see that their their flow is almost exactly the same no matter what. Um, so it's
it's u it's something that we have to always be aware of. So we get our budgets every year. Sometimes we go up in price or you know cost and sometimes we go down based upon our percent share and and the reason I do it for October to October because it's easier to plan for the following year uh for the
upcoming year. So October to October is our is our measuring you know metrics in order to tell us what 2026 is for you guys. So with wall going up so high is that because of the the development
that's going on probably or just more more people out there um you know but uh again everything is again percent shares so if our percent shares go down other people go up. Okay I just want to give you a halftime report. That was it.
Anybody else? I apologize for the pause. No it's okay. Um, additionally, another point of order, I am going to add a resolution at the end of this. Um, it is going to be resolution 2025-79. Um, and sorry 80 79.
Oh, gotcha. Thank you. 80. Um, and that will be for an executive session. Um, and um, we can take on who's going to read that resolution. I nominate. Uh, so moving on.
