engineers report. Second reading ordinance 2025 protect responsibility. At this time, I'd like to open me to the public for any questions or comments regarding ordinance 2025 line.
Should that only be during that hour of curfew or is that any time at night? Says I'm only the streets at night, >> right? Is that any time orally
after that might need to be a little more specific? take a look into it. >> I'm going to ask what your guys definition. >> Yeah, I'm sorry. >> Well, uh it's most likely is the
bankruptcy statute of the 2C code which we police will most likely be adopting that to that. So in the event there is an area known uh for different illicit activities uh on individual basis more than one time
several times it's something that the police might be able to charge the parent for to help the child. Okay. My my only issue is that the word the wording is very vague official agency and in past there's been legal challenges
versus billing where it was defined unconstitutional 14th amendment. I think there's better word that we could use uh like using specific state recognized ordering offenses from two city instead
of just a visual. That's just it's more of a blanket term and also uh being a disorderly person. I thought that could be better defined just by being more clear on the stance. Uh committing a disorderly person defense is defined in NGS
that just that was better defined this time was 2C 334. >> Um I'm I'm not sure just the entire 2C all the sort of is okay. All right. Well, what we can do is
stay if council wants we can um this month and then just secretary next month if council so wishes to reise. >> Well, can we pass this and then revise it? >> Yeah, I guess we have to just do it
again as a second. No, you'd have to redo the ordinance again and so that would be passed tonight and then you would amend it next time. The first reading a minute time second month if you want. >> Okay, we'll take for another month and
then what we'll do is uh please send me the information you have and send me a little note saying. Okay, >> that's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, moving on.
Consent agenda. The items listed below consider routine of Bur Win and be asked upon one motion. There will be no formal discussion of these items. If discussion is desired, this item will remove from consent agenda and consider check
for resolution 2025 129 through 2025. I make a motion that consent agenda items resolution 2025 129 to 12 2025 144 second >> yes Jackson
>> yes >> yes Mory >> yes open council >> thank you mayor Okay. One thing I'd like to mention and I guess it'll when this ordinance does go into effect
what the hours of curfew are as defined in our ordinances and that's from 10 p.m. till 6:00 a.m. There's more details available on the website under the code section. As far as the fire department goes, the next public meeting will be Monday night, August 18th, 7:30 p.m. at
301 Scott Avenue in Scott. Last month, the department responded to 81 calls. The squad unit was in a minor accident in June. Repairs have been approved. The engine had a broken mirror. The new tower ladder uh has been sent up to
North Jersey to get out food with with different gear has arrived in town. Uh it has not been cleared for service yet as the members have not had the necessary training in order to be able to use it safely and properly. They
expect that'll be complete and uh they'll be in service sometime in September. Uh they had a new firefighter uh Cooper Wells sworn in continuing his family service in the department. They also had an issue with their email.
So if you had sent them a an email and didn't get an answer, you might want to consider resend it. They cleared that up. Um new firehouse building demolition is virtually complete. There's partial wall left knocked down, but other than
that, uh, a lot of the buildings are pretty much cleared. Free smoke alarms are still available for resident homeowners. Call the office at 856 346935 to make an appointment for installation or just get yours tested if you're not
sure if they're working properly. There are no updates on their grant applications the fire department has submitted. Uh this earlier today it was the battle of the badges red cross red cross blood drive blood donations and uh
I don't know the final results of final tally so I don't know whether the police or fire department had award donations achieved was an issue with a fire fire hydrant water leak causing a sinkhole reported
New Jersey American border for service fire company 3 was shut and uh hasn't been active for a bit is undergoing compliance audit and there was some discussion there was a previous vehicle one that was sold
last year and when it was sold surplus vehicle that sold last year that was sold the mineral was not removed from it and apparently the ship was used by some people with some um
I'll say distasteable signs mounted on it and a parade somewhere and so there's some discussion about that and in the future they plan on removing any Lynwell logos from any vehicles that are sold.

August 16th from 11 to 1:30 in Jer parking lot, there's going to be a book bag giveaway. Um this is the supporting building of our youth by TJ work brown. He's a young man who grew up here in town and uh he is sponsored by the
couple uh company. Um the early early childhood uh early center is opening up. Um, we're going to have a ceremony on Wednesday, September 13th. It's going to open up. Uh, Miss Kathy Mach, our board of education president, our school board
members are inviting the whole public if anybody wants to attend. Okay. That's Wednesday, September 3rd. It's at 4:30 and it's at 809 Harbor Road. Um, also, you know, just one other thing. Um, and
I don't know where this rumor came from. Nobody knows, but I've heard this like 10 times that social security is going to be broken 2033. And somebody had told me they said, "Listen, you're a counselor. You should do these things." I said, "Well, you know, that's a federal thing. That's really not what we do here." I said,
"But you know, I'll look into it." So anyway, I did look into it. Okay. And how this rumor started was um back when the baby boomers start everything, they started building up social security. after World War II and social security
started to build such a surplus that's when consciously everybody started taking money from it. So anyway, what happened was our baby boomers started collecting social security. So that started depleting from it. But in 1983 was the golden year. It was such a
surplus in it. It was just unbelievable. So um anyway um as time went on, you know, everybody's were making less children and the baby boomers are collecting that. So death counts going down. So people who make these rumors
are not actuaries, okay? They just come out of anywhere and they say the great things are going social security is going to be break in 2023. Okay? So where I got my information from, I got my information from Marco M. Now he was the governor of of Maryland and he was
also the chief social security administrator under the Obama administration. So what he says is okay, sure it's getting bad. He says, but you know, it's it's a little bad news. It would probably you would probably have about 17% deducted from your social
security. If Congress does not act, that's the whole key. If Congress does nothing, by 2033, you probably would have deducted 70%. But, you know, that's it. But anyway, just in case anyone to know, you ever hear that, you know, it's
it's not going to be okay. I I think he's pretty competent person and we can listen to him. That's all right. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Excuse me. I'm wearing sunglasses because I broke my leg. Um, over the past month, we conducted
five reading sessions on the history of Linda. We received one community submission contributing to our archival efforts. We are preparing for our fall history event to be held here for a call. We're still seeking additional submissions and
volunteers to participate in this round table and exploration event and we invite anyone interested in contributing contributing or joining our informal group together as neighbors. That's all.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um, just a few things. First, we'll start. We had a uh movie scheduled for July 25th that unfortunately was cancelled. Uh we weren't able to reschedu that movie uh for September 19th. So that movie will
be September 19th. Now uh and just just a note um when an event that's sponsored by the county is canled, it's canled by the county. That event was cancelled because of lightning
or roughly around six o'clock or so. It was a late cancellation actually. Myself, the mayor, Councilwoman H, uh we were already setting up the concession stand when we got to work that was cancelled. So, just just a note like it's not the burrow cancelling these
events. Um and then council woman pass uh did what she had to do to get rescheduled with the council. So, we will have that. It'll be September 19th. >> Yeah. The county has this policy that if there's anywhere within the time frame
when it was supposed to be shown, they have to >> It turned out to be a beautiful night. It really did. And we wish we could have had, but you got to understand they can't put people in unsafe situations. So, >> uh, next, uh, just to piggy back off
what council has, National Night Out was awesome. We had a great turnout. Um, everyone from mayor and council, uh, different vendors and organizations, everybody really participated and we had a great turnout. So, that was really good. Uh, the concert and car show, uh,
that was Friday that just passed, that was awesome. Another great turnout. Uh, awesome cars out there. Some really nice stuff and, uh, a great concert from the Hickman and people seem to really enjoy it. Uh also we will have a another movie
August 22nd. Uh that movie will be Mustafa August 22nd in the park. Typically start around 7:30 the pre-show and movie starts roughly around 8:30. Uh and just also as always continue to
support our senior congregate Tuesdays and Thursdays 10 to 1 at our senior communities. So that's all I have there. Thank you. I just want to say thank you guys. You did a great job on the car concert and national night
out. But that car show my leg was killing me and I still >> What was the title of the movie that's been rescheduled? >> Okay. Thank you. And I would like to mention single out one organization in particular
out there contributions which is lovely the obstacle course of dump tank photo booth train books bikes and popcorn from them. Thank you for that. >> Okay at this time we're open meeting to the public. in the public wishing to
speak. Please come to the microphone, state your name and address of the record and please try to keep five minutes. My name is Joe. Uh this is about the code department. Uh I had Mr. Hankle. Uh I got a call from
him that he's going to check out a vent that was blown off of the house. Uh I think it's probably about two three feet and it was blown off the coupro. So I called it into my Georgetown condo and
the code department and uh he told me he got made a second call and said he went out to the house to check it out and I finally got talked to him and I told him it was taken care of three months ago and he said I don't understand it was on
my desk. I said, "Well, it was taken care of." And then uh I knew another situation with code. Uh I called Cody up and said two different residents were getting air conditioners and water
heaters. And uh so a couple weeks later, I called back to check it out to make sure it's taken care of. And Mr. it. I said, "Well, you know," I said, "Can anybody go check it out?" He goes, "Well," he wasn't sure or doesn't
know, but it doesn't matter because nobody's going to go out and check it out now. U said, so if if uh it's a matter, but I uh I said, "Well, nobody want to check it out. How do you
want to know whether it's safe for us?" you know, so there's no explosions, no fire, you know, no electrical fires or gas, you know, anything like that. It was like hot water heaters and air conditioners, two houses. And so I never
found out whether they were ever inspected at all. He told me said that it doesn't matter. I'm worried about being dangerous. Nobody respected it.
said, "What doesn't matter is that we'll get it on a rebound when they go sell the house. We we'll we'll check it out." I says, "Yeah, but in the meantime, yeah, we could be in danger." I don't know who took care of it. Uh he said
probably most likely reputable people took care of it, but you know, that's you know, not not good to neighbors, not fair to anybody, not safe. uh you know his attitude was like well you know nobody's going to go out and check it
now you know when they go to sell the house I said that could be a thousand years from now so you know that that's just an experience that I had send me the date and the address of the two places that you're talking about and I will check into it find out how
>> the dates the dates tend uh the addresses of where it was I'll look it top. Yeah, it was like a while ago, but I finally made a decision come up when this year that they got the
equipment, the new material that made things like Yeah, I'll try. >> If you can't find if you can't, there's nothing I can your association management send somebody out to inspect anything any
time that something's installed. I mean when I stayed there they had a system where they had somebody come. >> Yeah. If you if you get something new like that I I would say yes they should have. >> Yeah. One one in a person make you feel
better. Not bad. >> Yeah. But I Yeah. As far as I get a word here, commissioner, I do not know, but I'd say, you know, to be on the safe side, make sure and one of the people is on the board, >> so that person would know whether or not.
>> All right. Thank you. You're welcome. >> Anyone else in the public wishing to speak? >> I just want to take an opportunity to thank you for getting that trash cleaned up at 405. It's a step in the right direction. We still have a bunch more steps to go
there, but that was a step in the right direction. >> Anyone else? >> Madison Avenue, just a quick question. Um, for those that do solicitation, do when they have to come in for a badge, do they get a particular color every time? There hasn't been anybody coming
to get from >> I know because I've had quite a few that have come through the neighborhood and I kind of like changed them. >> Yeah, that's wonder if there was a I know sometimes they do come through and they one time they have like one color and other times
I don't know if they need to change each time or if it's just a standard type badge that they have to wear. Anyway, I know that they're usually not legit because they're coming around 67 pocket. >> They're not legit. you can call the police. They'll ask them to leave.
>> Um, you could also go into that office during the during the day and get the uh sticker window. >> Just get if you can and you can get the name of the company that they're from. >> Let us know. We'll send you a violation. >> Okay.
>> And it's $2,000 fine. Okay. Okay. Anyone else? >> I'll start by thanking Ray for the acknowledgement. Appreciate that. On the fitness court, what's the location going to be on the equipment?
>> To refresh my memory. I've been here 25 years. over >> volleyball courts back on the other side of the soccer fields. >> You're at the Memorial Park. >> Okay, fair enough. >> Back by the woods. >> Okay, fair enough. Thank you. Uh like to take a moment to thank a number of
people for helping us pull off National Night Out. We've heard from large part of the community said it was the biggest and best of the year. like to start with thanking Collins with bike share county bike share Delaware River Port Authority Police Department
Ed Hank and Ray Mory for the bike giveaway. We'd like to thank Free Books Project and Book Smile for help with the book giveaway. Like to thank the Unforgotten Haven and Diane for the backpack giveaway. We'd like to thank all the anonymous supporters who helped us
sponsor so much with the food and entertainment this year. I also like to thank the police department for hosting and inviting us to be a part of it and all of the lovely wall volunteers helping us make it happen. Thank you everyone. I'll see you next year
and he was here at 6:37. Mayor, I know you always tell if you see something wrong, we have to let them. So when we do, we get arrested. It's bad. When I brought to you about the illegal parking mix that's still
there every time I go to my friend's house, the homeowners run outside and video me. Last Saturday, I finally confronted them and ask them why. It's because they don't like me and they think that I've unlimitable. It's bad. I can't go
anywhere without them videoing everything I do. My boyfriend went to the house to ask the man at the house to tell him to tell his wife to stop harassing me. He would not come to the fort. So this is why no one said anything because of that harassment that
we have to deal with. I don't think it's fair as a mayor. You were supposed to take care of that ex and it's still there. I know you're part time, but you took it over. So whether it's part time or not, you should be taking care of it. And the people that harass me are sitting right there. She's the one who
victims me every time I go to my friend's house. I don't think it's fair. So my next step is I haven't filed harassment charge. >> Well, Miss Material, I just wanted to speak to the X. I know that our public works department was out there, code enforcement was out there and my
understanding that it was some type of material that was put over it >> must have washed away >> and they never come back to fix it. >> Okay. >> So people are afraid to park there. But if we have legal, I like to have one, too. So when I get my people down,
>> anyone else? >> Oh, yeah. >> So the lady she's complaining about um I have not said one thing to you. >> No, it's my time. my five minutes are
not lie and say that I do something it's not because she videos me as soon as I open my car and I had to finally ask her after a month why and I don't think she should be video me so that's not harassing me getting out of my car and
go to my friend's house who lives across the street from there >> so yeah so she's going to say I'm harassing her it's wrong for the videos so she can see that I don't say a word when she does I am five harassment charges.
>> Okay. So, um this lady so um I I for the last month I was trying to sell my house and it did sell and I told you my situation anyway. So, I had a yard sale a month back and she's been going around my street like the police officer uh surveillancing my
property. time and I'm like what is your issue? So a lot of people told me that she goes around looking at people property take pictures of it and they come. So it just so happened I came here I want to say in May my first meeting and she did do
that. She took somebody else's property pictures in front of her and took the pictures and went to you guys and said does this look illegal and I'm like who gives her the permission to do that? That's harassment. So I started imitating her. The lady who lives in front of me is her best friend, the biggest lover in the world. Um she two
of them like they're like talking about me. Anyway, so um on Saturday, this is what she did, which I thought was hilarious. Only a little do this. She came in her truck, stared at me in my property, and went to
her friends right in front of me. Took the Walmart and she delivered on her porch like she's making a delivery. She took a picture of her as my text. I'm like, "Her friends, she knows this funny." So I'm like, "I have to take a picture." So it's hilarious. So she got my ass. She said, "Why are you taking a
picture of me? Boy, when I come here, I said, "Yeah, you do." So I walked away and then her and my husband was just going at it and I just got to love. So my mom was with me and my mom had a person like her own.
So you know my mom that's what she does. She grabs people in the neighborhood and then she open her face and her. So that's what happened. Um then her husband came to my house Monday. Can I speak to the man at that house?
I'm like it's 2025. It's a man. I've been a single mother for how many years and there can do so can I speak to the man said what do you want my you need to stop because of my wife
you're harassing her I had no idea I was broken whatever so I'm like I don't know what you're talking I'm like, "Who said the lady?" I'm like, "Oh, she's harassing people in the neighborhood. I'm just in the neighborhood." And that's what happened.
You tell me the people that I'm harassing pictures of no one. It's the only the X and that's what it is. >> And I'm more than making a delivery. She's got the pool. Let her have a tight.
>> She let you talk. Let her talk. >> I have our whole conversation on the video. She >> When you say harassment, you say you're going to harass us. >> This is just out of control. This is like backwards freaking Alabama in here.
I don't really live in this town. I do CIA, but I think we're lady's house built on the >> I had conversation here. >> But when she said, "I'll do whatever I want." I said, "You harass him." She goes, "I don't care. I'll do what I
want." So that means you can do what you want. You want me to do what I want? I asked for the man of the house because he was at a girl. All right. He has an X. Come on. I mean, I get it.
I do get it, dude. But if you can do it, everybody, >> you know what I mean? >> I know you're busy. I know she's a tough man, but some things you do have to address. Is it good for one person, not the other? She wants to come out. I
said, "Stop doing it." That is harassment. He was the harassment. It's just a joke. This is like backwards Alabama. I'm telling you. And none of your salaries are like $150,000 to be worth. >> So I can't comprehend >> my salary is you would be amazed how
much I make. >> I would information. >> You know how much I >> Why entertain it if it's wrong. That's all I'm saying. Wrong is wrong. Greg's right. >> You're absolutely correct.
I get I get all >> So I guess I can't bring up Gina's house anymore cuz she wasn't my step. They stop doing what you're doing cuz if I knock on her door every time that's not harassment. She can do it. I can do it. >> I just want to know about the new
fitness man. It said that 130,000 was funded elsewhere. Some of it was the local resource. How much [Music] two separate brands? >> Anyone else in the public wish?
