00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:32.160
>> thank you, Mayor. Uh as you're aware, we met with uh burough officials to discuss the topics surrounding the water and sewer infrastructure in town. Topics included the possibility of raising water rates, possible sale of the infrastructure, and the process and

10
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:49.440
schedule in which we read our meters. Uh ultimately, we are continuing to investigate the best way to and most efficient way to save residents money with our water and sewer. We're waiting on some reports from independent contractors to give us a better idea of what we're looking at and then we can

11
00:02:49.440 --> 00:03:04.159
make a more informed decision as to what our next step will be. Uh we'll plan to meet over the next few weeks and months and I'll have a more detailed report when we get those reports there. Otherwise, all matters are in order.

12
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:21.760
Any questions or thoughts on that? >> Uh Councilwoman Albalid Doyle. >> Thank you, Mayor. I have a lot of great things to announce. Um, so this is our season for tourism and it's so it begins. So I would like to share that we are going to be having a fundraiser for

First, this Saturday, uh, June 6 at 11 o'clock, the Delisio Waste and Recycling is going to give a presentation on everything that you want to know about recycling right

21
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:47.320
here. Then following Saturday, June 13th at 9:00 is going to be the annual lake cleanup in the spring. That's going to be, I think, from 9 to 11. starting at otherwise all matters are.

22
00:05:49.120 --> 00:06:05.120
>> Thank you, Councilman Danto. >> Thank you, Mayor. All matters. >> Thank you, Council President SC. >> Thank you, Mayor. All matters are in order, but I will just remind my fellow Councilman um about your fabulous events. They sound amazing. Hopefully, you'll have sunny days. Um send me

23
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:20.000
summaries of whatever you have flyers. I'll make sure they go on our social media pages. Um, and as I said, all matters are not otherwise. >> Thank you very much. Um, for my report tonight, uh, first I want to thank Council President Skull for taking the reigns for the last couple of meetings.

24
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:35.680
Um, for me, this is a very busy time of the year and sometimes work conflicts with uh, our meeting schedule. So, I apologize for not being here. It's just because my real job sometimes takes precedence. Um, and uh, I want to thank uh, Council President Skulligan and the

25
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:52.880
rest of the council for council for keeping up the work. Um that being said, if you've paid attention to the um the media at all lately, you'll see that the governor has put a year moratorum on

26
00:06:52.880 --> 00:07:10.240
the uh NJ real standards for uh for flood planes um which has been a topic of conversation not only in Lake Ko but in other short towns. I joined along with uh other South Mammoth County Shore

27
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:27.120
communities um in signing a letter from the mayors asking uh the the legislature and the governor to look at these uh these regulations that were being put forth. They've heard our voice um along with many other voices and they

28
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:43.759
put a moratorum on those uh regulations at least until next July. Um but it gives the legislature and the state more time to really look at the facts and the data before they move forward with it. So that's really something um that's

29
00:07:43.759 --> 00:08:00.479
positive in my in my opinion moving forward. Other than that, all matters are in order. At this time, I'll take motion to open for public comments. >> So moved. >> Second. All in favor? Hi. >> Um, at this time, anyone that has public

30
00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:16.479
comments on the new business agenda and the new business agenda only, um, those are six items listed on your agenda can come to the mic now. I just need your name and address. Seeing none, I'll take a motion to

31
00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:32.959
close. >> So, move. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. Uh first under our new business agenda, we have the third annual Greenwood block party. Uh if we have a representative, uh Amanda, if you want to come up and now now that I've said

32
00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:48.320
your name, would you give your name and your address? >> Amanda Hernick, 1820 agreement. >> Okay. Um I think this was the litmus test, right? Was this the first block party, I think, in town? The annual block party. >> Uh and it's been going well. >> Yep. like so far.

33
00:08:48.320 --> 00:09:04.000
>> Any changes to to to what you've been doing in the past? >> And can you remind us again exactly what the block party looks like where everything? >> Um, usually bucket from like 19th to like mid Greenwoodish. I know it says all of Greenwood. We end up they end up

34
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:20.320
not end up coming down our street anyway. But um I'm not sure when it's going to change. I'm sure it's still going to be one way in August because we did oursel late last year. >> Yeah. >> Due to scheduling, but it's going to be half the street at least so the neighbors can get in and out or that

35
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:37.279
come in emergency wise for any reason. >> And that is a oneway going south. >> So you can still uh drivers can still use street. >> Correct. >> Um Drew, any questions or concerns?

36
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:52.160
>> Uh there is no questions or concerns. I did to the chief about this. She she did not have any issues with it. Unfortunately, she came and she wasn't here tonight. Um the only thing there was some confusion on the last party where police was going to do it. So if you can just contact me or a week before

37
00:09:52.160 --> 00:10:11.760
the event. >> Yeah, >> questions from the council. See none, I'll take a motion. >> Second. >> All right. This is a motion to approve the um the special events permit

38
00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:29.279
application as stands. We have a motion to second. Uh roll call, please. >> Yes. >> Council, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Council, >> yes. >> Are you going to the block party, HEATHER? >> EVERYONE'S INVITED.

39
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:46.720
>> YES. EVERYONE'S INVITED. You always are always welcome. >> Listen, it's it's well managed and under control. I've been able to observe it for the past three past two. So, >> all right. All right. Uh, the application is approved. Thank you very much. Good luck. >> Appreciate it. >> Okay. Resolution 2026-88.

40
00:10:46.720 --> 00:11:01.519
This is the calendar year 2026 budget. This is a public hearing and adoption. Um, we can have Councilman uh Danuano if you just want to present your report before I open to the public.

41
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:18.079
>> Sure. Um, yes. So, I'd like to start out again by thanking everyone who had a hand preparing the budget this year. Um, particularly Sam, he me um it's a lot of hard work that goes into it for a small municipality like ours. It's not easy. So, I really appreciate all the dig into it. Um, so based on the budget being put

42
00:11:18.079 --> 00:11:32.880
up for vote tonight are um overall municipal budget is going to be approximately $5.1 million in 2026. It's an increase of approximately 250,000 from the prior year. The amount raised by taxation would be approximately $3.5 million. uh the budget will be bringing

43
00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:49.120
down the tax rate slightly from 0.388 to 0.387. So what this means for the average residential homeowner, this would be an increase of about $220 for the year. Um everyone should remember that every resident's individual assessment plays a role in ultimately what their tax bill

44
00:11:49.120 --> 00:12:05.040
is as well. So some will see larger increases if their assessments want more than the average. Others may see a smaller increase if it was flip side. Um, and as another reminder, the municipal budget and the amounts raised by taxation is around 39% of every

45
00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:20.399
resident's overall tax bill. The remainder is made up of school and county taxes. We don't have the final county budget yet. Um, so we do have to see what that ends up being, but we do expect the school taxes to remain flat the prior year, which is good. Um, another thing to remind residents is

46
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:35.200
that last year there was a ballot question for all Mammoth County residents um, associated with the county's open space program. So that referendum passed which increases the county open space tax rate from 0.025 to 0.032.

47
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:51.040
So this increase will also be reflected on residents tax bills when they receive it. Um in Lake Ko this measure passed by about a 2 to1 margin in favor of it. There was 500 to 20 259 no votes. Um and interesting that's it was a very close

48
00:12:51.040 --> 00:13:06.480
margin we saw in Lakewell compared to how much the referendum passed by county. Um so that happy >> um yep uh before we do that I'll open it to the public because this is a public hearing. So if anybody has any specific

49
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:28.320
questions on the calendar year 2026 budget um you can come to the mic and ask questions comments at this time. Just need your name and address, please. >> Bob Rossby, 50418th Avenue. >> Ju just a quick question about the um

50
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:45.440
the school portion of the budget. What is it based upon? A certain population of students go going like KOMO students attending the schools and is that going up or down or how how

51
00:13:45.440 --> 00:14:01.040
do you >> so interestingly enough through this process we were faced with the same questions as the council. Um, we reached out to the b the business administrator for the Lake Ko school board, which is the same business administrator for the

52
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:17.279
Belmar School Board. Um, even though we have our own board, uh, we have to have our own business administrator. Um, it works slightly different for every school. Uh, I can tell you that the number of our students that are going, our school age students that are going

53
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:33.519
to schools has been decreasing. Um what that means for a school like we send to Belmar, our contribution, our tuition that we pay to Bel to Belmar tends to decrease as we

54
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:49.279
decrease number of students. When we send our students to Manisquan, that's not exactly the case. Um they do it a little bit differently in where even though our number of students are decreasing, they are still looking for the same amount of money. So their rate

55
00:14:49.279 --> 00:15:06.560
increases. So, they're trying to stay whole. Um, what you will see the biggest change in from year to year is the number of special education students that taxes have to pay for extra things. Um, so for instance, and and I could

56
00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:21.360
speak to this only because I'm in the education field. If you have a student who has an IEP that requires special services, that could cost a lot more than just a tuition based student. So if

57
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:37.440
we have three students, say that are special ed students that go to special private schools, that could equal the same amount of money that it costs 60 students to go to to to Mattis. Um so that's where the the payment varies.

58
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:51.600
>> Um >> and and we have that information so we can >> budget accordingly. >> So we don't set the school budget. Our board of education sets the school budget. um and they use that information to set their budget accordingly. So when

59
00:15:51.600 --> 00:16:08.800
it comes to a municipal budget, our number that we set here is different than what the board of education sets and is different than what the county sets. You get all those three numbers. My experience is more in higher education on the university level and with that with the declining enrollment

60
00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:25.120
because of college age students I and I assume you see that before we would see it on the university level. >> Yeah. >> So so that's an interesting dynamic on preparing

61
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:40.000
for what's going to happen in the future. So, it's it's a very interesting process when it comes to paying tuition. Even though this is definitely the cheapest way, I hate using that word, but it's the most affordable way for us to educate our students is to pay

62
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:57.920
tuition. Uh the only thing that is really required for that tuition and that rate that's set by the school is approval by the county superintendent. Um I don't know of a time where a county superintendent has never approved that rate or what that is being paid. Um, but

63
00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:13.280
that's really all all it takes. But it's definitely more affordable for us uh in Lake Ko to educate our children through tuition based instead of having our own school and having to deal with all that overhead. >> Yeah. The the only open question at

64
00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:28.799
least in my mind is the difference between Manisan Belmore. What what where you're paying. Can you do you control who goes where? Interestingly enough, it's kind of set,

65
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:47.440
right? It we could as uh as a uh council look into changing where our students go to get educated. That's definitely a possibility. Um it there's a lot of hoops to jump through for that. That was said a long time ago where our elementary students go to Belmar

66
00:17:47.440 --> 00:18:04.000
Elementary and it's cheaper to educate an elementary student than it is to educate a high school student. Um, and at one point there was a percentage of students that were designated to go to Manisquan and then a percentage of students that were designated to go to, I believe, Asbury Park.

67
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:20.240
>> Um, those percentages have shrunk over the years for different reasons. Uh, and usually you see a student that is designated to go to Asbury Park usually pay to go to private school. Unfortunately, >> is it a coin or flip? So no, it was uh

68
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:35.520
it's based on when you moved into the municipality. So if you are a student that is born in the municipality, you have a better shot of going to Manisquan. If you moved into the municipality in fifth or sixth grade, you're probably going to be designated

69
00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:52.799
for to Asbury Park. Um but then there are other magnet schools that they can go to, which is something that has come about over the past decade or so. Um there are other tuition based acceptance schools like we send a number of kids to go to uh Red Pank Regional uh obvious uh

70
00:18:52.799 --> 00:19:07.600
actually because they get accepted into special programs and because there's choice school programs within the M within Mammoth County. So that messes with the percentages a little bit. It's not as cut and dry and black and white as it used to be. >> Yeah. Interesting. Thank you.

71
00:19:07.600 --> 00:19:28.320
>> No problem. >> Seeing none. Uh, no one else. I'll close that public portion of the uh, budget hearing. Uh, are there any questions or comments from the council? >> Sam, anything that you would like to add?

72
00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:43.120
>> I think >> Sam, thank you very much for all your hard work as well as Amy and Drew and everybody else that had anything to do with this budget. Um, we uh, we as a as a mayor and uh,

73
00:19:43.120 --> 00:20:00.559
finance liaison get through this uh through this process, but we really come in at the end and say yes or no before it gets to the council. So, thank you for all the hard work that you've done. Um, with that, I will I will take a motion if you want a motion to approve

74
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:16.559
this the budget. >> I will make a motion to approve resolution 2026-88 adopting the 2026. Do >> I have a second? All right. Roll call, please. Scott. >> Yes. >> Councilman, >> yes. >> Councilman Mrice,

which is, as the mayor said, a resolution authorizing a refund of overpayment of taxes to 620 Redmond Avenue, which is designated as block 11, block 40. Um, there was an overpayment of $1,51753 and the tax collector has confirmed that

77
00:20:49.760 --> 00:21:05.360
a refund for this overpayment is in order and it should be made payable to Stephen Tegr which is at who was at 620 Redmond Avenue. >> Uh, do I have a second? >> Second. >> Roll call. >> Council.
