companies actually submitted bids. The lending bid was awarded at the regular fire commission meeting on March 17th to construction of line for for $8.1 million. They're hoping for completion
sometime in the summer of 2026 and bonds were issued for I believe I may may not be correct on this but over 10 million. So they do have some leeway for construction issues that arrive and any construction orders that
may come up. Free smoke alarms are still available for homeowners. You need to call the fire office at 856 346 0935 to make an appointment for installation. Other items have mentioned

program will run the second week of July to August 22nd with weekly crafts color world themed STEM STEM classes fun Thursdays with games and activities juvenile reading challenge prizes as incented throughout the
summer. Also, this is April 6th through April 12th is National Library Week. National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the val valuable role in libraries, librarians and library workers playing transforming
lives and strengthening of our communities. National Library Workers Day is celebrated on Tuesday during National Library Week. This is a day to recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our state. Everyone join
library, visit our library. There's a lot going on in there and that is all that I have here. All right. Well, I got quite a few things here, so bear with me. First, we'll talk about the report from the code enforcement office. Our monthly report for the month of March. 57 CO
inspections, zero smoke inspections, 41 violations found, 52 violations written, 27 abatements, one ticket written, 493 yearly rental inspections, 31 real yearly three rental inspections, two
foreclosures, and 11 resident um communications. First, I'd like to start with um just asking everybody to keep our congressman, Donald Trump, in prayer. He had a a medical event on um April the 7th which uh caused him to be hospitalized. He's still in the hospital
and he is in stable condition. So I just ask everybody when you're if you're praying tight uh to say a prayer for Donald crossing his family. Um a couple of things. Um feline has made some changes. Um the trains are not running overnight anymore. They stop the trains
from running at 12:30 to 4:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Um the reason provided was to allow them to do deep cleanings of the trains and stations. Um so they will not be running those trains and they said they'll probably be for the next 6 months or longer. You're not
sure. Um also the Petco Franklin Station Square is now open. It'll be the first stop over the bridge right by the Constitution Museum. So if you wanted to visit old market area, you don't have to get off at a market anymore and walk down. You can get right off at I think that's a little bit above second. that
be like four right by the base of the bridge. So with the Franklin um carousel and everything being off right there. Also this summer they're going to the tap and go on your phone app. So your Google Wallet or Apple Pay, you'll tap your phone to go through. Now this is if
you ride all the time. You can do it if you don't ride all the time, but the tickets still will be available if you need them. If you're a person that parks in the parking lot like I do daily, you'll still use your freedom card. It'll be long before they phase this out after the market. So, just some information on that. Real ID.
Everybody's heard of Real ID, right? It's coming to us May 7th, 2025. Uh it's now if you're flying domestically now, you'll need something that's real ID. You won't be able to just fly with your driver's license anymore. A real ID is uh a star is in
the right hand corner of the driver's license. It is something special that you have to apply for. From what I understand, DMV is now backed up until July for real ID. So, there are some options. You can get a passport. You can use your passport book when you're going
to the airport. Even if you're just flying domestically, that is considered real ID. It's issued by the US Department of State, federal government. Passport card, very popular right now. They're only $30. Um, when you renew your passport, you can just check check off the box that says vote and add $30.
It lasts for 10 years. that's considered real ID. Um, a nexus card, your permanent residence card if someone has one, border crossing card, federal photo ID, a tribal card from um, one of the Indian nations, a TWIX card, which is
transportation a lot of truck drivers have those. That's considered federal ID. Immigration services card, a merchant marine card, and also your veteran health identification card. All of these are considered to be real ID. May 7th, if you're getting on an airplane and you're going to an airport
and even if you're just flying to Boston or somewhere, you are going to need to be able to show real ID. Okay? So, right now, I would recommend coming to one of the clerk's offices, either a Blackwood that's by appointment or or city hall, my office in Camden to apply for a
passport. You can get it as quick as two to three weeks turnaround time. And if you need more information on that, I'll talk to you after the meeting. That's expert here. Um, all right. So, Autism Awareness Month is this month, the month of April.
And, um, it's a special month. One out of 36 children, um, are diagnosed with autism, some form of autism. One out of 35 in New Jersey, the third highest state for autism. Every April, Autism Speaks celebrates World Autism Month,
beginning with the United Nations sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April the second. This week marks the 18th annual World Autism Awareness Day. And the new, you know, they're trying to shift awareness from acceptance, right?
From just not awareness to acceptance, right? That when we look at people with autism, we're not looking at them like they're different or anything like that. they're just made differently, right? And they function differently. And so this month brings awareness to that. Um
the Camden County Prosecutor's Office has also offered a program called the Blue Envelope Program and this is for children or young adults who drive that have autism. They may be non-verbal. They may get nervous when the cop comes up and they start to shine the light
when they start to answer demanding questions. This may trigger them. So what happens is with the blue envelope program, you apply for this program through the motor vehicles um office and when the officer comes up to the car and ask for the driver's license, the
registration and your license, they would also hand them this blue, it's like a blue, you know, well, it's not an envelope. It's like a cardboard kind of 5 by7 thing. They would also hire give to the police officer. This will give the the police office the information
that they need that you're dealing with somebody that's not not cooperating, right? Or not acting suspiciously, but they're on the spectrum, right? So, I have information about that. Um, N, I'm going to leave some of you too. You have that, too. Um, if you're interested in
that or you know someone that has a young person that does drive that may need that information, it's called the Blue Envelope Program. Um, another thing that's going on this month is the sustainability festival and plant sale in Black View on Saturday, April the
30th from 10 to 3. It has vendors. The local bees will be there. You can get some plants. They'll have free saplings, music, and so that's free. You go out and have some fun with your family and friends. I'll leave that here as well.
told you don't be long. I want to say thank you. Dawn put on a tremendous um day half day with the children of um Lind Middle School, Dr. Johnson's class, special education class. They came in,
they we did scaven, we got to know them. My team was the best. I'm just saying. Um but they were awesome and it was this is the first year that I've been able to do it. You know, how many years you been doing this? six six six or seven years she's been
doing this and so it was absolutely wonderful so thankful that was great. Um also want to say we had an opportunity to go to the lighthouse um deliverance church uh for their special altar dedication at Mar and council and it was
a very nice ceremony. Um, Lighthouse has hung in there seven years trying to get this church built through CO and everything else and made it happen. It's a beautiful building. If you ever get a chance to stop by there, attend one of their services, Reverend Reverend um
Harley, they're the best here. You'll feel like family when you go there. So, I wanted to say that as well. Um, and I just want to say happy Passover because that's coming soon this weekend. Happy Easter, Ar.
So enjoy whatever one you're going to celebrate. You have a great one. Thank you. I'm done. Wake up. I'm back. Okay, Mary. Thank you. I'll keep it short. Uh the early learning center is really coming along good. Um the kids
should be, you know, next year they should be ready for school, which we think the kids are in the hours right now and everything like that. So next year the school should be ready. It's really a beautiful school. It's something we should really be proud of. It's really a great building. Um, recently the kids had to play the Adams
family and they really really show, you know, it was a a real I mean it really had dedication to it. You know, it represented things values of two kids from different backgrounds and they fall in love which you, you know, got me
thinking about. You know, they call the city of brotherly love. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh as far as the historic society um historic committee is concerned over the past month I met with five residents and discuss local history and preservation efforts
conducted four meetings on the history of the wall. Uh two historic record searches visits at local libraries and we received two community submission contribute to our archival efforts in the month of March. We plan on visiting
a local vendor event sponsored by Magnolia's Historic Society on April 12th. That's this Saturday as an exploration activity. More than welcome to join us. Um by yourself. That's it. Mayor, thank
you. Thank you, Mayor. Uh just a couple things for our seniors. uh county board of commissioners is sponsoring a free senior prize thing uh Thursday, April 24th, 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. that will be held at the Wayne Bryant Center, Wayne
Bryant Community Center in Long. Uh this is a registration required uh event and it fills up fast. So, if anyone's interested, I have flyer up here for you to uh to take a picture of and get the information registered. Uh also there will be a also sponsored by C County
Board of Commissioners. It is a uh free day of billards and bowling uh for our seniors. Uh this will be held Wednesday, March 26, 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. Also, I'm sorry, March 26 is done. Um this is
also Wednesday, May 14th and 28th. And also, I'm sorry, skipped over April 16th and 30. They're all 12 to noon. It also carries through. Also, this is require everything requires registration with them. So, I have flyers here if anyone's interested. Also
have about six or seven other events that they're sponsoring for seniors. Um, for sake of time, I won't read all of them, but I do have the flyers here if anyone's interested. And then last thing, I just want to remind everyone of our Easter celebration egg hunt we're
having April 19th um down at the baseball field that will be held starting at 11 a.m. Uh this is for age groups 2 through 10. Uh we welcome all parents of course to come uh bring grandchildren and so forth, but this is
strictly for age group. That's all. Thank you. That being said, opening the public. Anyone from the public wishing to speak, please come to the microphone and address 637th Avenue. And I have two
things. One is um I don't know if the township does it, but certain streets have like a big yellow X by a driveway. People don't like parking anywhere near the driveway. Do you guys do that or people just do that? We have one out front here. That's
No one of the avenue streets. You're talking about the white. No, it's yellow. Yeah, it's yellow. Do you know what street it's on? I do. I'll let you know after I'll get and the other thing is on the resolution
202591, why are we appointing a special counsel for the primary election? What is the purpose of it? There was a challenge uh to the candidates I believe. So we got an independent lawyer to assist the department clerk in anything that you may need legally. We don't expect anything to go any further with respect
to that. So who pays for that? The borrower does. The borrower does. But so it comes down to taxpayers have to pay it because you guys threw out some of the people's signatures. It would have either been paying me or somebody else. So it's no net difference. Can I put an email to the uh the attorney? Sure. Can
I get that in this? Yes, sir. Okay, thank you. Just a question. I know it's probably like public works, but I noticed that a lot of new homeowners I don't think a lot of them are aware of
the certain days of trash and b trash and I'm noticing that they're like leaving stuff out weeks at a time. So, is there any way besides just being on the website that they can that you go out to some of the new owners so that they're aware of what dates are? When a
new person comes into the community, they receive a packet from public works, tells them all that information. Also, during collection day, if there's things left on the street, we have somebody that goes around and actually marks it and has information on it that says what
day it is, how to get it picked up, and how to do it. Is that for renters as well? Is it for renters as well? And also trash. Well, if you give me the address, I'll make sure that they get anyone else.
Hello, my name is Angela and I live on square. If you're not familiar with this, right around the corner from the police station, there are um townhouse townhouse type homes on a small street. It's a public street and there's um
parking spots. There doesn't seem to be enough parking. So, people are parking all over and as a result of that, there are disputes. Police officers are called direct for me. So, I'm coming to you to ask for help with some type of solution
for the parking on Colonial Square. Also, I'm sorry, just one more thing. Um, the other problem is that there are some cars that are just parked there and they don't move. There's one that's been there since last year. Um, there's some work trucks. Um, people just park their
car and just leave them and we don't know who the owners are all the time. And also like what the other neighbor was saying, um, people dumping trash there, big trash. One of my neighbors is here with pictures like mattresses, furniture, stuff like that. And it's
been there over a month and this happens frequently, too, which takes up additional parking spots. So, um, I was just looking to see if we could get maybe assigned parking or additional parking or just any type of solution that you could come up with to help us
on square. All right. Um, in regards to Columbus Square, it is a public stream, so we can't say park. Unfortunately, we do know about the beauty salon. We are going to take care of all of starting
tomorrow. I gave everybody a chance to digest the letter before we went and did anything. But there are some issues out there that need to be taken care of. will be out there for to make sure that place gets cleaned up.
That part? No, not the whole park. Just part just that that area where you're saying I don't think people will know like the people who are taking up the spot that are residents, they won't know. Store borders from the I'm sorry. It's it's
it's not an official parking spot, right? But we're not going to stop anybody from parking here. Okay, [Music] we can't
[Music] streets I think we can everybody has right. It concerns me that there's no clear solution because there's already been, like I said, altercation. Police have been called and you know what happens in the summertime when it gets warm, things get worse. I'm trying to be
proactive. Um because I really care about my neighborhood. I've been there for 22 years. I have a 19-year-old son. Um this is the reason why we do this because coms cause problems with neighbors. Well, the problem is there's not enough parking spots. So if we could come up with a solution to that, it
would that's a design that's really a design issue. And sadly when a lot of these places were built, people only have one car, right? Think about the future that people might have. Now people got four cars, right? And first come first.
So that's part of the issue that that the way the has a design flaw. you know, just wasn't designed for the number of cars back. Is there anyone in the township that their field they're experts in that field that can come up
with something for us? We're asking for your help because we we'll ask our civil engineer to go out and take a look at it to see if he can but we're going to have to find land someplace. So, unless we acquire some buildings and knock them down out there, that's probably the only way it's going to happen. There's a lot
of land out there at the end of the street. It's like a dead end street and there's a lot of land there. when the park people already there at the end of the street. There's also like at the end of the street there's grass and then a little
further away from the grass there's like a um I don't know a res like water and people are dumping shopping carts and TVs and all kind of trash back there. Some of my neighbors are all trying to work together to find a solution for
this so we can live peacefully. We really we like the neighborhood but we also want to make sure that everybody has somewhere to park and that there aren't any more altercations and no one has a police call and we come over the civil engineer and we'll see what if anything can be done to try to
improve the parking situation. Okay. If you ever see anybody that's helping you something, you get your license plate. Yeah. But when I walk, I see all that trash there. Literally shopping. We have an area near Car and because it's
deserted people and it's not well lit, people come down and dump. I have busted people dumping things together. You can always reach out to public. So I think one of my neighbors is going to come. She has pictures um because people
are putting like I said furniture in parking spots over a month and just like the other day said they're not calling and have picked up properly. Um, so just like we put the flyers in the board for
the flyers around just a reminder information. Yeah. Well, the cards and things like that, they're all going to be checked tomorrow. Thank you. For registration, if they're not registered, they'll be
removed. Um, the trash is going to be removed in the next couple of days. And um also they're you know like I said so a lot of that's going to change. It's not going to change drastically right away but after it's repaid it will
drastically change. Um I believe I just went to the reconstruction probably within the next two months I would say. Thank you. Don't forget to sign in.
My name is and I live on 56 square and I moved in from five years ago. I love the but I go through. I clean the streets personally every time and this is what I
go through. I have a neighbor across the street. The trash can is always over and when the breeze blows it blows them right to my door and I have to do all the and I think you know I just and I every Saturday we get out
you know that and I think it's just [Music] any anytime you have this garbage out there you see this garbage out there please call the code office they will be out there and they will get
has anybody called the only one every time they put a whoever the problem becomes a lot are renters and they come and go so quickly that they don't know that they can't just dump everything on the street to
get it picked up. Yes. I just I want to suggest maybe we can it's been there over a month. It's right behind my fence. I was out there only a couple days ago. I didn't see anything. Oh, it's been
sitting there for over a month. And when some people park there, they eat, you know, all the trash and just drop everything right behind my face in pizza boxes, can bottles, you know, liquid bottles and all of that. And I get to clean
them and it's frustrating for me. All right. I'm sorry. We'll like I said, there's going to be some changes tomorrow. I didn't want to do anything up until tomorrow because of the fact that I knew people were coming in and I wanted to make sure that we heard
everybody's complaint about this in case there's anything different we need to do. But a lot of this stuff's going to be taken care of within the next couple days. And then the rest of it will be taken care of once they repave it and then they can do what they have to do. Yeah. Is it possible to have like a
phone number like a signage right on the call this number? There's so many new people coming in and they just, you know, do those. They don't ask what needs to be done and you know they don't care. So my friends is like the safe place for them to dump this. So there's
a number there. Call this number before you put a jump there. Isn't it on the dumpster? No. No. There's no dumpster there. No. barbecue. No trash can.
All right. I will check tomorrow. Thank you so much. I have two questions. I want to thank the person that play so it was a joy to watch that play as
the residents. Is there any scholarship or anything for seniors out? There's a couple of scholarship. They have one $500 for a male and $500 for a female. How can I get you have to go see Mrs.
Sites in the office? She's the one that has all the scholarship information. Okay. She'll tell you everything that's available in the state. So that's who that's who you need to see here or at the school at the high school. Okay. Mr. Sykes. This is for the kids who are all at school right now. He's the best
person. Sorry. Hi, good evening. Um, a couple things I have questions about regarding the resolution on resolution
2092. I'm happy to see that we have a company that's going to update our website. Are there any more interactive and willing to be supportive of? Yes. Um 2593 the game time I assume that is for the
playground. Oh okay. Does that $12,000 include installation? And then um just to mention about the the issues that town houses are having. Um, I think one of the main issues is
that owners who are renting these places out are not getting seen. I live next to one of the stumblers from Lynall who has multiple properties. He's had it now for three or
four years. He's had three different tens and there isn't a sticker. We have It's useless. He owns 40 houses in this town. I can give you a whole list of violations. He has no certificates of occupancy and he still
rents to all these people. You have it. You've had it for years since 2015. and you've had it and also what has happened I don't know his last name I have my son changing the LLC's and
stuff he changed it a few years ago so what he when he his company that he was originally buying him in he has now changed it to an LLC um and under that LLC it's about 10 of them
now because he tried to offer money. I better not buy the house. Um, but I know for a fact that I'm worried because the young lady who was there um had taken me inside to show me the condition of the
home and there were blatant violations and I'm not the address for you. I will I just what bothers me about this is those people who have a lot of money
to take advantage of people um and then they come in they rent these places out they put renters there who don't know because how would they know if how would you know that there's new people in if they're not getting so then how would the people that move
in know that there are rules and regulations about bulk about who we want, you know, and about the process that happens if we're not cracking down on these owners that are renting these places out and not following the proper
procedure. So, that's a big concern of mine, especially when I found they got a gas fireplace. I was like, I said, you need to check have somebody check that out cuz I don't want carbon monoxide. I'm pretty sure you or your children want to be safe and I'm just concerned.
Apparently, it's going on in my neighborhood. It's going on in other people's neighborhoods where they're just writing them out to anybody. Not anybody, but they're just writing them out and not following us. Anyone else?
Good evening, Mayor and Council. How you doing today? And I I just wanted to say that Colonial Square Place and Colonial Square, thank you for responding to our requests uh as a result of the work you've done
uh our area. Um, I I'll say one thing that happened that we didn't suspect expect would happen is there were cars there that have been sitting for a very long time. And I saw orange stickers on and then at
least three of the four that I saw are no longer there, which opened up three new parking spaces for us. I thank you for that. We didn't expect that. Also, I think uh with the letter that was put into the doorways, it was very effective. It may have taken three or
four days for people to digest it. Uh but I think now that they have the knowledge um and the rules that they will respected more and they have done that thanks to you and um so those are the real positive things that came out
of that and I really want to thank you for acting as quickly as you did. I appreciate it. And the other thing that I my we also have those other things that we talked about those are like the trash. I mean it's an extension of what we already started. Um and the best
thing I want to say is sometimes in the winter time when we have snow and we have to dig out our spots, we put cones there. So if you could understand that that we get snow
two ways but my attendance forgot about Tommy I'll bring it up tonight. So I'm just bring it up. I'm not asking you to do anything today, but just to be aware
of that plan, get back. That's what Yeah. So again, I just want to thank um I just want to thank and I want to thank you and we appreciate what you've done.
Can I just say one more thing? When all these people are complaining about trash everywhere or this and that, you have your little red truck that drives around for trash and recycling. How are they not seeing that when they're driving up and down? How are they not? Why aren't
they just sit there for months? That's what I'm saying. They don't call in. They don't register. We will not pick it up, right? So, so even though the red sticker doesn't come back, all this
trash you'll just get a fine. We can't unless they call in has to be called in the last meeting people were saying
or Diane you specifically was saying why don't these people see this these things when they're driving around. So I I sent an email to our um wonderful tax assessor and asked him some information. I said, "How many residential properties
are there in Lynville?" 3,444. How many apartments are there in Lyn Mall? 5,556. 620 units were added a few years ago when Norwood went from condos to apartments. How many commercial
properties are there? Well, there's no straightforward answer for this. It's 161 commercial properties and lots. However, some commercial properties like shopping plazas have multiple commercial businesses in it. So, as you can see, that's a lot of units in this town. This
is why we all have to take a common stake and wanting to see our community look good. If you see something, call it in. They're not everywhere. Some of these streets are so remote and back off the beaten track that no one would ever see them. If you see something, call it
in. It's as simple as that. We all are stakeholders in this community. We all have a responsibility. We all want it to be beautiful. We want to be able to park our cars and not get broken into and to be a safe place to live. We all have a responsibility. We're all stakeholders.
So, I think if you see the number of units that are out in this community, residential, apartments, and commercial, then you understand that if you see something Thank you. Just just I was saying Tokyo. I had
somebody I get a lot of emails and I try to take care of as as fast as I possibly can. I got one that was over on off of Gizboro Road where the gentleman had cleaned out the back of his yard and just took all the stuff and pushed it back. Didn't know about it. It's hidden.
You can't see it. There was also a couch back there next to the dumpster. Didn't know that. Didn't see it. Somebody emailed me. Next day it's getting taken care of. He's got seven days to clean up that lot that he pushed all his stuff in instead of getting rid of it. So you
tell me about it. You sent information to us, Mr. Mr. Wood. Yes. How long did it take me to get back to you? Uh, let me see. I came here Wednesday. That Wednesday. I believe you called me that Friday. And I think he
called me again Tuesday with the letter or something like and then like I guess in 2 days it it was done. Um it they responded to our our community within a week and and they were out there the
next day and they were out there the next day. I I know for a fact the mayor was driving around after he heard about it. So, I know for a fact that if you present your problem and and you have maybe some uh evidence
about what it is and what's what you want, I think that the ears of the burrow is open and you can get things done. Um I I will be honest with you, there is one complaint I have right now that's going on. It's an ongoing
complaint and some of them are easy. Um, I'm still working on it. I've been working on it probably for about three years all total. Um, I get it cleaned up once in a while and then it comes right back again. Then it gets cleaned up again,
right back again. But I'm still working on this issue. I'm not forgetting this these people and I want to make sure that something's going to get done. But there's certain things that have to happen first before I can do anything.
So anyway, um, anybody else in public speak 25 Georgetown Road and I wanted to ask about the title 39. I think it's called title 39 with the police. Was that approved by your condo association general? that
he did a resolution and sent it to us asking us to put that on there and then the ordinance was adopted last meeting to answer your question. Yeah, cuz the last time I was on paper the agenda it said second meeting.
Was there supposed to be a third reading? Just just a second reading. But I think it's like 21 days I think it's fully before they can write. So yes,
thank you very much. Anyone else? But it's official. I just want to tell everybody that um we are doing guard sale this year again which is June 14. Yeah. It's on the um it's on the
calendar just like and again whoever has signs please bring them back.
