Uh the acceptance that was tabled pending further review. The fire commission did receive a small grant of $1,000 to use the fire prevention. uh they're they're getting very close to launching a new website. Uh they started
training their the members that are going to be administrators on the website on how to work the back end of the website. Uh there was an audit of fire company number three because they got closed and
that is still pending uh additional information to be submitted. Uh I would like to comment that the fire department is extremely community oriented. Uh all the members they participated at the community cleanup at the middle school on the 4th of October.
They held a fire prevention open house on October 7th. They participated in the trunk retreat on Saturday, October 25th. They gave fire prevention and safety demonstrations at Lynwell Towers, Lynwell Early Childhood Center, and
local preschool. Um All these things are above and beyond uh the minimum and as I said they deserve kudos for being very family and town oriented. That's all I have. Thank you mayor. >> Thank you.

Library. We have a new program going on and we're looking for donations of Legos. So what it is is you can come in, borrow the Legos at the library, build your Lego set and show it off and then bring
it back and get another one. Also with the road construction, the the library faced a few challenges this past time with the with the road being shut down, but they remained open throughout the whole project. Um, it's been some confusion because
visitors didn't know where to go. You have to park down the side streets, but it's it still remained open the whole time. And December 3rd, like I said, is Christmas tree lighting, the annual Christmas parade and lighting will start at 7:00 p.m. and over on Laney Road and
expected to reach the library by 7:30 where we will have Santa, Mrs. claws and elf while visiting and greeting the children and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate and hopefully

your recycle bin. It's his job. Um >> you should look it up. It is it is part of his job and pour trash into recycle bins. These bins will then be the whole trucker can be refused at
the recycling center. This is not our choice. This is Camden County rules. We abide by what Camden County says. Um I know there was a lot of stuff people making their comments. It's not fair to him. That's his job.
and green cans, the green lids that are not being picked up right now. I see green lid trash cans on the streets. >> If they're on the streets, you're going to get a tag on them saying they're not being picked up. That ended the last Monday in October. I said that quite a
few times and I see they're still on the streets. They're not getting picked up. That's right. They're working on leaf collection now. Once the collection ends, then the green lid cans will be picked up again. So, if you get a sticker on your can,
um, they're not picking it up. So, put it back in your yard and wait till the collection come to get picked up. But that's all that I have. Thank you. >> So, good evening everyone. First of all, I'd like to wish our veterans a happy Veterans Day and thank you for your
services um to this country. Um, I have a coworker of mine who uh does haircuts at Great Clips and she gave me a couple. They have free coupons, but if you're a veteran, this will entitle you to a free haircut from November 11th through December the 5th. So, if you're interested in them, I have three up
here, one per person. Um, I'll start off with the report from the construction office. For the month of October, there were 165 CO inspections, zero smoke inspections, 26 violations found, 22 violations
written, 35 abatements, five tickets written, zero in courts, zero uh zero tickets in person in court, zero plea bargains or plea deals or plea mail, whatever they call, 188 yearly rental um reinspections,

applied for merkantile. Zero zero businesses open without approvals. Zero dumpster on the street without approvals. Zero street opening permit sidewalks, curbs, and aprons. And 61 resident communications. Um couple of
things I just want to go over um for this month. Um so the food banks in the area are trying to do what they can to help people during this period of uh governmental shutdowns and um possible
interruptions and staff payments and wick payments and things of that nature. So, um, SNAP interruption support program on Saturday, November the 15th, which is this Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., SNAP recipients could
receive up to $50 for food from the Collinswood Farmers Market, 7:13 Atlantic Avenue. Again, that's between the hours of 8 am and 12 pm. Now, if you visit um the NJ211.com
site, this will let you know of um local um organizations that are helping with food insecurity with baby formula and things of that nature that people are needing. So, again, that's the NJ211 website. Um food banks in the area,
Bethany does a food bank. FP Church right here on Gearsboro Road does a grouping every second Friday. That would be this Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 100 p.m. the second Friday of each month. Uh Community Commitment Church right here on Berlin and Lynon, they have a food
bank every Friday from 400 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Just drive up with your bags and they have a food pantry there. They're also having a community Thanksgiving dinner um this next Saturday, the 21st. That's the 21st. Next Saturday, the
21st. Um, all are welcome. >> Um, get the time. I'll give you the time on that one in a minute. >> 3 p.m. >> 3 p.m. Thank you. >> Um, Miss Roxy. 3 p.m. So, all are welcome to that. Um, if you're not doing
anything, feel free to drop by >> and have some community Thanksgiving dinner. the scepters, the uh food bank is collecting all kinds of non-p perishable items that are needed during this time. Um,
you know, again, non-p perishable items is the is the key and non-expired items. Um, so you can hit any of the drop boxes around the county. There's a listing on the county's website of where you can drop these food items off and uh perhaps we may be able to do a little drop box
in town somewhere where you can collect for that as well at the library here in the Bur Hall. We can collect uh canned goods and perishables to donate. Um they also take monetary donations. It's very easy to do. I make my donations online.
Um, and it helps them feed the community when the trucks pull up and they have I mean people they used to be here in Lincoln Mall. Um, the truck pulls up and there's all kinds of fruits and vegetables and chickens and you know meats and all kinds of things. So I
think it's really um a very needed cause right now and a lot of the funding has been stopped for some of these organizations. So whatever we can do as individuals to help out greatly appreciate it. Just keep your fingers pass tonight. >> Yeah. Yeah.
So, and then I just want to say a few words um in honor of Mr. um Joe was our former mayor many years ago and served on council and uh Joe was a character. I adore him. Um very smart
when it came to business. at my you know we went out and attended a funeral on Friday and spent time with the family. I just ask that you continue to keep his life in in your prayers and and the family in your prayers. I just want to thank Joe for his um his u
years of service and dedication and just caring about this. So thank you. >> Okay. Thank you Mary. Uh the Limited High School fall theater uh performance is the theatrical part of Clue this
year. It's on Thursday, November 20th at 7:00 p.m. to 10, Friday, November 21st from 7 to 10, and Saturday the 22nd from 1:00 p.m. to 4 and then another shows at 7 to 10. Now these these kids really
give it all out. They put on some really great performances in the past and with all the negativity going out, it's nice to come out really uplift your spirit and support the kids at the same time. That's why I
council. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Over the past month, I met with three new lawmakers about our ongoing history initiative. These conversations helped us gather some stories. I got some photographs and awareness about um
Lindwalk's early development. We didn't host any um formal history events last month. Um but we just continue to work behind the scenes. Um one event that's coming up well this Wednesday I'm going to be attend I'm
going to be at the Clemington Historical Museum. I would like Lady residents to join me if possible. I found a few Lady artifacts in their museum. So I think that would be a cool that connect and maybe find some artifacts or some old
ones. And finally, um there is a regional event kicking off our 250th Jubilee Year. As we move forward to the National Celebration of America's Jubilee Year, it's an excellent educational opportunity happening nearby. Um this is
on December 3rd. I know we have a council meeting but a little bit after that at the Cherry Hill Library u we're there's going to have a speaker about the Washington crossing in the Delaware at the battle of Trenton it's going to be a lecture
I love this but this I what I read about this program is an in-depth look at Washington's famous dele and the battle events that dramatically shifted momentum of the revolutionary war and so if you can uh attend this weekend. I'm going to try to get out
there myself um just to connect with our local communities and maybe we can find some things about Lindwall. So, we're going to keep continuing to gather the wall history stories and just um get in touch with maybe you have anything to share. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Councilman. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh nothing to really report uh this evening. I just want to say congratulations to Councilman Marcy and Councilwoman elect Dixon and to everyone have a happy and safeguard.
>> Good evening. practice. >> The 2025 municipal best practices inventory checklist was due on October 24th. The 2025 inventory assesses each municipality's compliance with various laws and evaluates the implementation of
fiscal and operational best practices. Inventory answers provide taxpayers with an additional means of evaluating their municipalities performance. The inventory also identifies areas where municipalities may require further technical assistance. A total of 70
questions were distributed amongst three scoring categories. Core competencies, there were 37 questions. Best practices, there were 13 questions and unscored survey questions, there were 20. Core questions and the unscored survey
category were divided into multiple subparts to better facilitate data tabulation. The division introduced a total of six new scored questions and nine new unscored questions to the 2025 inventory. Five additional questions,
three scored and two unscored, have been revived from prior year's inventories. Each municipality must receive a minimum score of 32 on the inventory to receive its full final aid payments. I'm pleased to announce that for the burl of
Lindall's 2025 best practices checklist, we received a score of 38 and that completes my work. >> So, um I I asked our um our director of our our code enforcement office to join
us. construction office. Welcome to join us this evening. Kevin um and he was and I asked him to provide an overview of what is going on in the department. Um this seems to be um uh great conversation at every meeting.
Uh people seem to have ideas about what goes on and what does not go on in the department. So why not ask Kevin to join us to tell us exactly what goes on in the department. So Kevin, if you can join us, please. My name is Kevin Bagnel. I am the
construction official and I also oversee the code enforcement office. Um, I was made aware one of the questions was about the use of iPads and getting more up to date with everything as far as what the system we have in
place in the township to run the office. Um, the guys are using the iPads currently. There are many more things to facilitate using them that I have been working on. So once we launch our system
to go live with the portal where the public will have access to it um a lot of certificates for resales and rentals will be all handled via email directly from the iPads at the time of inspection. Um
the guys I feel have in the year and a half I've been here. Um as far as code enforcement, it was originally we were receiving a lot of complaints as opposed to being out ahead of the guys,
the three gentlemen on the road doing their job. It seems like when we do get something in, it has already been addressed previously by them. That's not to say that they're going to see you or catch everything. So everything is
handled via email to make sure that if they are addressed with some an issue, there's a response to myself as well as Heather. And we also include Dawn to make sure everybody's clear that something was done in reference to any
complaints. Anybody has any questions? I'm here. All right, let's wait until I open it to the public. All right, at this time we're going to open the public and any questions or comments regarding uh
anything. Please come to the microphone, state your name and address to the record and please don't forget to sign. Mayor, if I can and this is not an opportunity to attack Kevin. >> Okay. No, I'm not. No, I just want to put that on the record. He is an employee here. This is
he's here forformational purposes and not to attack one of our employees. Okay. >> My name is Barbara. I live 818 Avenue and I'm calling in regards to property on Holland. It is owned by the township
and has been owned by the township on for at least five or seven years. Um the house is falling down literally. There's holes in the roof. There's holes in the sides, animals are in and out of there constantly and they go into the roots of
the of the people who are adjacent to that which I feel is a health hazard because you know there's raccoons, there's there's cats, there's possums, there's all kinds of things in there. And I know that it's set for demolition.
It's one of those demolition and I'd like to probably dates for it, but we'd like to get it on a list so that we can get that since it's been that way since long before you got here. >> Yes, it was.
>> No, I know that's something we've been working on and it's uh >> it um it's in the process. It's it's >> I know it's and it's something that I was made aware of a few months ago and
it's something we're pushing towards. The superintendent of public works is not going to discuss this a couple weeks ago. We have possibly looking into funding to get the building demolished. Uh we just got the specs together.
Um we did a similar property some years ago. So we're weighing our options to try to get that done. We just need to make sure we have the funding for it. >> I I understand. >> But we do we are aware of the condition of the property and something does need to get done with it. Um we do have a
fund that we get through foreclosures. Uh so we meet with the business administrator to see if we can get money. Um but there was concerns with the superintendent. She thought that it was going to be a significant amount of money to have that property have it demolished and taken away. So we
are trying to look at that resolved. >> And once and just another question I I don't know how this works. So, I'm asking for maybe some information. Once it's demolished, would that property, the land, go up for sale?
>> It can be auctioned off. Yes, >> it could be auctioned off. >> Okay. Is that a normal practice? I I don't know. I'm asking to this. >> It depends on the property. Um, if it has a structure on it already, likelihood is it will go to auction. So,
that is something that can happen. If it's an odd lot, usually nobody wants it if it's not available. I'm assuming it's not wet because property own property. Nobody wants it. You can't do anything with it. >> Oh, I'm sorry.
>> But I'm assuming that's not what this is. >> I I can't imagine it is >> because there's been a structure on it's been a house for >> since 1970s, >> right? Okay. Um I know I personally have put in complaints about it for years and um I
was told that last uh right when you were hired right around the time you were hired. I was told that the construction office was going to look at to see if it could be repaired and and but I mean even at that point in time it was so bad that they said that no it
couldn't be repaired. So it's, you know, it's not like nobody's words to anybody's attention. >> So, but I do appreciate everything that enforcement has been doing and I understand about the I'm glad if somebody's looking to see about the
recycling because people put things in there >> all the time. >> Yeah. And I mean, I see a guy I always wait by their tag on it and then they complain because they got tagged. You know, the the quote is when in doubt, throw it out. If you don't think it's
trash can sometimes they have a county a county event where you can take the batteries to but can't they bring those to the batteries to public works can't they directly can't go to public works
>> I don't know that's why I'm asking >> public works >> okay any batteries that you may have you can bring right to public works facility And we have a shed that we stored them in and then we dispose of them. >> Okay. This is like double AAA's, you know, those kinds of batteries, not car batteries. >> Yeah. You can put put them in a bag and
bring them over to us. We'll take care of >> Oh, fantastic. Thank you. >> Are they on the list of of your coingling stuff that goes in the can? >> Yeah. Maybe add it to the list for the next time you do something like that. >> It's on the website.
>> Should be. If it's not, it will be. >> Okay. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. >> Did you sign this? >> Yes, I did. >> Hello everyone. >> Okay. I had a question about some of these properties specifically. Is there something that stops either road force
or public works from cleaning up the exterior trash and dumping that happen properties? Because there's multiple of them. There's some that have engines. There's literally two that there's one that has two engines in a drive shaft. So, they get paint cans piling up. People are just using these properties
as dumping sites. And this doesn't appear overnight. It takes years of neglect for it's resistless. >> No, I know. And not getting lot specific. I know we have multiple areas
where the guys are writing tickets and taking it through those. I'm talking about the properties burrows. They're not getting they're not getting cleaned up. I'm saying I'm saying they're being used as dumping sites. Could we not proactively they can't demolish them funds? Could we not proactively
move to clean up the trash that dumping that happens there in neighborhoods where we will live where there's >> in reference to >> dumping listen >> people are using them as dumping grounds. township using it as
>> no people are and it's being left to sit there and and foster further dumping. >> This is honestly the first I'm hearing of >> and that's 100% a problem. I'm not saying I'm not saying this to you specifically, but that's 100% a problem.
You you run code enforcement and construction. He doesn't know I brought this up last month. It's not like last month is the first time this became an issue. It's been an issue. So while the communication there clearly there was there was a problem because I I came photo
there's dumping happening. I can I can send you photos. I'll send them to your email. >> I'll send I'll send you videos, photos, send them to me and I'll have the guys trust me. >> Awesome. And then >> please feel free to use my email. Um
it's the I will always respond to your emails. Um, that's the only way that I can personally keep track of it and make sure that one of the gentlemen that does code enforcement get to the property and address it. >> And Kevin, what's your email address?
>> But it won't it's on the website. >> Yeah. Realistically, it's just it's time to find a solution. Uh, what standards to set when our own governing body can't follow property maintenance? When you guys are the ones fostering the light in the town,
uh, how can you be holder standard? >> I think the town looks pretty good. I really >> I can show you these properties. You have res. I understand that. But >> you specifically say see something, >> RIGHT? SO THIS IS SOMETHING. >> OKAY. So if you have his email address,
could you please give him the information? >> Yes, I will. I hope you guys do that. Clean this up. >> Language is unnecessary. >> The language is unnecessary. >> It's do as I say. That means I do. I am. You don't need to. >> I'm not heckling. I'm just telling the truth.
>> Language, sir. Okay. Older people in here, please. >> Not to you, Mr. RV. >> We've heard people have heard every resident I've talked to, and this is not new. They've heard that there's a solution coming. We're working on this. We're working on that. I mean, there's one property that I went down that you
guys could also address um that it's down a individual road that has three houses on it. One house has been abandoned for over 10 years and the backyard is a bamboo nightmare. People live next to this. Properties have fallen on their house. You guys, they
needs to be cleaned up. Residents are tired. Tired up. Thank you guys for having a real response. anyone else about caring about the residents that's living here. Thank you. >> Hi,
George. >> Thank you. >> Uh I called up your office a couple times and what I always get is a recording and actually I think you have a guy named Tim that is one of the employees or something. Well, it's one
of your employees, Dave, is on the recording. You get and you get one of your employees voices and I think I'm talking to a person and and then all of a sudden you got the person saying hello, you know, and and then this is, you know, the recording
and I I'm Yeah. Hi, how I'm and I want to give like a a question or something like that or say what what's the problem with and here it's a recording. But I mean like two three times I've called and I just get a recording and then you get like two three people in the office
and nobody answers the phone. It's just a recording. So and the other thing what I brought up before about a month ago or something. It's about air conditioners, heaters, uh anything
that's getting put in that's new. Uh I was told by by one of your employees that it had to be uh if I asked for it to get inspected and the employee said, "Well, you know, we we're not going to do it. You know, we'll get it when they sell a house, which could be like 30
years from now. So, you know, when someone puts a new whatever in appliance, it's supposed to be called in or you're supposed to get it inspected, right?" So, I reported it that two two residents
got all new air conditioning and and plumbing. They're doing the water heater, all that stuff. And uh you know, all I got was we'll get it when uh you know, they sell the house. And you're supposed to get inspected when when you first buy it, right?
>> People are supposed to get permits for the replacement of water heaters, furnaces, ACS. Yeah. if they don't get permits, it happens every day all over the world. Um
if they have permits, the one of the things that I run into um is the contractor may or may not have pulled a permit, but if he did, he has not informed the people that they are required to get them inspected because the contractor who say replaces your
water heater >> on Monday is not going to sit there on Tuesday or Thursday and wait for me to show up for an inspection. And one of the things that I find that happens most often is they do not inform the resident that they need to set up the inspection.
>> Right? >> So it's all about safety. And that's why I threw up to to you know the worker and you know we want to make sure it's safe. It's not going you didn't have like their uncle put it in something like
that or somebody that loves Christ. So if if I I call in >> if you call specific address that hey >> this address put in a water heater without permits then it's something that we address. Well, I don't know whether
or not I'm just letting let ladies know that these people are having to put in uh do you want it, you know, do you send people there? You know, like we got report at that point. What happens is we send out a notice of violation that there was work being done without
permits if there isn't one. If they do have a permit, it's on them to schedule the inspection. >> Right? So, I give the address and your people look up and see whether there is a permit. Right? And like I said, you know, I was told, you know, no, we're
not going to inspect. We're not going to check it out. And if they sell the house 30 years from now, we'll check it out. You know, that was a bad thing. I didn't like that at all. >> Yeah, that doesn't sound like the answers from the guys. >> Okay. So, you got to get you got if I call it in.
>> Heather's going to give you one of her cards here. So, she's going to give you one of her cards. >> Heather is going to give you one of her cards where you can call it, too. Anyone else from the public speak um I want to say kud
um I also saw that the fitness is in are we having celebration or you just >> they got another wanted to talk about access to information. I don't know what's going on. I would have liked to participate. Um
>> it was advertised several places where it was >> it was on Facebook. It was on um our website and it was on a couple of signs. So, um, speaking of access,
um, the question that he had regarding people putting in appliances or having work, can we put something like that in the website to maybe have her number available to call
to report those things? Would that be possible? Well, in a newsletter because in it comes in the newsletter all the time about the numbers where to call if you're doing certain things. It's also on the website under the codes information that they have to put all of
that tells it's all spelled out there. So, you're saying that they're put it out someplace else so they can see it more or >> No, I just every time I I come here um I just feel like access to information and
maybe because We don't have a lot of people participate. So, I thank God there's 25 people every day. Woohoo. I'm happy about that. I'm excited and I will continue to push for people to be more involved in the process. I'm sorry. Excuse me. Um, but that's how we get
things done. We ask questions of referral. We expect some answers and if you don't know, it would be nice that Okay, I'll try to find >> Well, that's why he's here. >> Yes. And I appreciate that. I'm just saying in general, I know that um the
last two meetings I wasn't able to attend and there was big questions about these properties and so I appreciate you being here. Um it's unfortunate that you're just now finding out about that. Once again, access information, just saying access information, clear,
straight, and I'm about being straight and clear. Um I I kind of feel like some residents don't feel heard, which is okay. What's not okay is the fact I'm here to
get solutions. Um I just feel like there's an aathy going on. I don't know. I I have I don't I don't know how many of you are lifelong residents, but I've lived in Lynall since I was 5 years old.
I got married, I got divorced, I came back. My family's been here since the 70s, early 70s. So, and and then my dad, >> you're not that old. >> My dad's family has been here >> for years and years and years. And I I
want to feel like we're productive at these meetings. The bickering back and forth is is is hard. And I really feel like we want to be heard >> and we want we
say that say that we want to be heard, but it needs to be done in respect. >> Right. Exactly. >> I'm about respect and getting things done. This the back and forth is not going to solve any issues. I'd like to know I do have a question because I did
miss his um presentation with these properties. What is I I know there's a plan. I know it was a process, but why is the process taking >> years?
>> A long time. >> Years. >> It's my version. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is this a demolition? >> Well, there's there's various properties and I I only realize
I will talk to you about it after. >> Why can't all the residents know? Well, for instance, the one property, if I'm not going to specifically point it out, but the one that's about overgrown in the bamboo >> has already been addressed by our
office. It's in the works. Like, that is I was already knew about that. >> That one came to me. I put it out to the guys. We had pictures. We have photos. And it is in the works. >> And I understand. I thank you for that. But my my question is like future
tenants once you clean it up then are we holding on to this property for a reason or >> I'll explain to you. >> So once again access to information >> well they were here for last meeting so they know but you weren't here for last
meeting so I will explain it to you personally. Oh, the pilot program. When will that be discussed? I have a whole lot of questions about that. >> That was a table that was shot. >> So, what does that mean? We're not >> We're not going to entertain.
>> Oh, okay. Cuz I'm I'm like, this is a multi-million dollar company. Why are we giving tax? Because I research, I read, I look, I look up the company, I look at the owners, I was like, why are we giving
them money? Like, what are they going to do? >> Are they I just So, it's completely done deal. If they want to buy, they're come out of their pocket. We're not so it won't affect our budget.
taxes go up. I'm very happy. All right. So, let's see. I have a list. I'm going to miss. Um, so we did the sh I think that Oh, firehouse construction. Is it on time
>> as of right now? Yes, it's on schedule. >> Thank God for that. And I think that's it. So I will meet with you after meeting. >> Mr. Roxan, I just wanted to um address your concern about communication. You
know, the website, we are working to revamp our website. We're working on a new website which won't be launched until January, but it'll be more user friendly. We have to have more information on it. The platform that we currently have is old, so it's antiquated, and we really can't do much
with it. Okay. So, we're hoping that our new website will be able to have a lot more information that we can put on. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> And then we'll ask residents to make sure that they sign up to get email blast and you know, things like that to
keep breasters. It'll definitely be uh refreshed. >> All right. Thank you so much. >> Anyone else with My name is Terry 637th Avenue. Mayor, last week you were 25 minutes late. This week 15. Why can't we push a meeting to
7:00 so that more people can attend having it at 6:00? People are just getting home from work and they can't get here. I think it would be it would be more feasible for the residents if you can move it to 7:00 where people can actually park. And my other question is, I know you
only meet once a month. How often does counseling you meet during that? How many meetings do you have other than the one you have back here? >> Once a month. >> So, you do nothing for a whole month. You only meet once a month. That's what
I'm asking. So, you only have to meet once a month. What do you do the other 30 days? >> Nothing is insulting. >> Excuse me. >> Nothing is insulting. Honestly, >> YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT. THAT'S INSULTING. NO, THAT'S not
just all about >> you're telling us you're not there are other department ask you how YOU GUYS >> YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW. YOU JUST WANT TO INSULT US. WHICH ONE IS IT? >> YEAH, I WANT TO have >> Okay. So, he's answered you. We all have department meetings and things that we attend
>> legally. We are not allowed to meet outside of the meeting all together. >> We're not allowed to meet that. Look up the law. Okay. But we have departments, there's county meetings, there's all kinds of things that we attend. Okay. I was just at the
co-anchth millennial the quinc centennial celebration that we're going to have talked about things that you can do in your individual towns to celebrate. So we all are doing things. >> That's what I'm asking. >> BUT YOU DON'T ASK. YOU DON'T ASK. I TELL YOU DIFFERENCE.
YOUR delivery is like is off. Okay. Really? >> So it is. So just ask. >> You guys don't even want to answer anything. >> Thank you very much. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you for giving me the opportunity
to speak. My name is Lander Garris. I live6. We have a management company called action management >> and we've been having a lot of issues with them. If your cars parked in spot
for more than 48 hours, even if you have a pass code, a lot of residents call the police about that. It seems like when you speak out against them, then they retaliate against the homeowners. You start seeing
fines for windshine. You leave a mop or burn outside your house, you start to get fines. You know, a lot of residents want them out of here. I saw the ordinance about the parking on Law Road and I'm sure
that originated from a lot of people in my complex parking out there park a lot of people also park at Walgreens there and just res just just to get to their car. I was
wondering like is there any type of potential ordinance that could be adopted maybe like the management company a little bit and they raised the fee so high it's very difficult to sell our house my condo fee is 550 to
>> oh my god >> and there's a lot of properties for sale.com it's making it super hard to sell our properties. No one wants to move into a neighborhood where they're trying everything and get your car all
sick on vacation. If it is there for 49 hours, don't be out there. No truck is a lot. >> Is it the sun parking or is it just >> No, there's really nothing to do with respect to work. It's this is your
property. component uh you're run through statutes by a kind of association board that gets voted in. So what you need to do is change your boards assuming that your board management company and you have
elections periodically. >> Yeah. you got to voting box. That's the way that fix us. We are aware of the somewhat draconian measures that they've been taking out there, but unfortunately we've been getting complaints about parking on on
road and also >> people are parking from your your association Walgreens and that other property and like taking Uber back to the uh to the place about a quarter mile ride. Okay. walking which is even dangerous.
Um we are aware of it but yet it's it's your control because you own that problem. The only thing you can do is to go to the house. The problem is I'm hearing that they're not having elections. So you guys might want to get together and get an attorney because they have to
have elections and they have them in. So once they know when they did have elections that they're going to get voted out that's why they're not happen. So I would recommend that you get in touch. Also associations my understanding are regulated by the department of community affairs. So you
may want to contact the DCA and see if there's something we can do that if they're not having elections that the DCA's attention and the Department of Community Affairs may be able to do something about Sure.
Anyone else? A couple quick things. One for the code gentlemen approximately how many rental units do we have? >> I believe it's in the role of 7,000. >> Okay. And approximately how long does a re
inspection take on average? >> That would be a direct question. Are you talking about for multifamilies? >> Like every year we have annual inspection for multifies. >> So >> Mark schedules them in advance. Um Mark has been handling it now I believe
for seven years. Um so Mark when he he schedules the original inspections per complex and then he also already has the reinspection dates scheduled in order to accommodate to get through all >> what I'm ultimately trying to get a feel
for is the manpower requirements we have given the infrastructure we have. We have 7,000 rental units and it takes a half hour on average for each rental. You get 2100 hours just there. It's more than one person just to inspect our rental properties. >> No, there's three,
>> right? But I'm saying we need one at least one. And by my figure, we're closer to 8,500. We're at like 42 and a half uh 4,250 man hours a year. That's two little more than two individuals uh in
the office that would just be dedicated to the reinspection process not dealing with any codes issues outside of that. So I'm trying to get a sense of the manpower requirements just to handle inspections given the infrastructure we have and then what are we doing about all the single family homes
>> some of which are being brought up now but >> it seems like the post office has needed help for a long time in this town and kind of at the bottom of what exactly is the issue some of which we've discussed
tonight but I don't know that We're going to solve all the other um for the website updates. Um I noticed you guys have pulled the calendar for the ongoing senior lunch and activity thing that's not being indexed anymore on the
website, but you replaced it with I don't know the exact title, but it's a senior guide put out by the county that that talks all about if you're a senior citizen where you can go for any number of services throughout the county. None of the interval services are included in
that document. So it's like an 85page document. It talks about everything from nutritional sites to place where you can get your shots done to where there are senior centers and all that stuff. But surprisingly, Lynwald is not listed in that document at all anywhere. I was
wondering if for the website update maybe we could get the county to include the Lynall facilities. Excuse me. You said we just call you know that. But there might be more >> announce your name.
>> She said she doesn't know. >> Trevor Shaw >> Roosevelt Avenue founder and executive director of law. >> Thank you. >> You're more than welcome.
I wanted to ask how much does it cost for inspection? >> An inspection. How much does it cost? >> Construction inspection. >> Say say a rental moves in. What's the cost for that? >> What's the rental? >> It's either it's either 50 or 60. They
have register. You have to register the home, not the apartments, but you have to register as a rental, a individual home as a rental. And then we go out and we do a rental inspection. The apartments get registered as a full rental every year. >> Yeah. And to make it a safe and and
livable home. >> They go out and do the rental inspection. >> Yeah. Now at at Georgetown they're charging $500 to rent a condo and then for the entire time the people rent and then every year after that it's $200 and
they don't offer nothing. They don't they don't inspect they don't care about anything else but the money in the company. They're charging the people $200 every year after they ran it out. But and they don't overcome it. That's how that's
that's what this this young action management that's the charge from the condo association the association char $500 to rent >> that is not the counseling that's the >> right yeah well I'm just saying you're
giving you $50 and you make sure it's a safeable home we're charging $500 to rent it and then $200 every year after that for no reason absolutely no So this is how bad this action what the
young man was talking about this action management is doing our board members who doesn't have elections anyone else wishing to [Music]
