>> Thank you, Council President. This evening, before we get to the introduction of our two very winning teams and Lady Hornets here in Little Falls, I have a couple of updates that I'd like to provide everyone with. First, sorry for the lack of seats in the back. We're reupholstering the seats in here, and I know we're already tight
to begin with, but uh thanks everyone for bearing with us and squeezing your way in here. We have some positive things happening around town like this Saturday after Thanksgiving is our holiday light parade. So for those of you who may have seen it in the past and
for those of you that may not, uh it is a great event to attend. We have the holiday light parade starting at Sake Valley High School. It is starting this year at 5:00 p.m. It used to start at 6:00. This year it'll be starting at 5. The parade will make its way down Main Street to Maple, down Patterson Aav, and
its way into Woodland Park and then Totoa. So, please feel free to get your seats along that route. Roads will be closed, and I mean fully closed up to over an hour before the event. So, make sure if you are looking to be somewhere within the parade route or the parade
route area that you get there early. It does look like it's going to be cold, so please bundle up, uh, put on some layers, and be ready to, uh, enjoy a couple hours worth of a holiday light parade. So, that is Saturday. Thank you everyone for bearing with us
with all the paving that's been going on in town as well. We have a lot of work and we've had a lot of work that's been done by New Jersey American Water over the past year. Uh, they are finally paving all of the work that was previously done. Fortunately, all of the paving and all of this work comes at no
cost to us as taxpayers here in Little Falls. It is all fully funded by New Jersey American Water. So, we appreciate everybody bearing with us as all of our roads are revitalized here in Little Falls. Uh Wilmore Road is currently being mil again tomorrow. For those of you that in the area, milled yesterday,
it'll be mil tomorrow. Uh newest update from the contractor, and I provided notice to residents there, it will be paved on Wednesday. Uh so, we will have fresh roads for Thanksgiving. Uh finally, we have an update regarding a new flood board that Little Falls will be joining. We will be joining the
Verona and Cedar Grove flood board uh as well as with Woodland Park. Woodland Park and us will be the two new members to the Pekman River flood board. Uh we have a regional flood board that was Little Falls Toa Woodland Park and we had dealt with Pake River and Pekman River issues. The issue is Totoa was
never really part of that conversation related to the PCman which a lot of the conversations were about. uh and now and it also neglected to include our upstream partners in Verona and Cedar Grove. So now by creating this fourtown flood board with Verona, Cedar Grove, us
and Woodland Park, uh the entirety in the whole length of the PCman River, we'll have be able to have discussions with all of our upstream neighbors and the best ways to protect the PCM river, whether it be bank stabilization, funding, and all sorts of engineering that's going to go into it. So, we are happy that uh this evening, one of the
items on the agenda is the ordinance in order to establish this fourtown Pekman River flood board. So, we're looking forward to being able to join them as we continue to do what we can here in town to help uh address the flooding issues. Uh finally, before we get to our two
teams, because I'm sure at the conclusion of that it's going to get a little hectic in here, I just want to wish everybody here a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Everybody enjoy the a little bit of time off with friends and family and hope everyone ends up very full on Thursday night. I know I will be. So, happy Thanksgiving
to everyone here. And now, without further ado, the reason why this council chambers is packed this evening, it is to recognize our 8U and 9U Lady Hornets who have had some tremendous seasons here in Little Falls. Let's hear for
them. And I'm going to start with our AU Lady Hornets that is coached by head coach Kristen Duffy. And I'm going to ask her to join me up here. And this year, the Lady Hornets AU team made history, becoming the first ever AU
team to have an undefeated season. Let's hear it for that. From the first game, these young athletes showed heart, determination, and teamwork and a very difficult page two. Hold on. And all of that never wavered throughout
the season. Their hard work and focus paid off, winning all but one game by mercy and capturing the Verona Great Eight League Championship. Finishing the season undefeated with a championship title was a testament to their passion and dedication. This group has set the
bar high and there's no doubt this Lady Hornets team will be one to watch in the years to come. Before I turn it over to our coach Kristen Duffy, I want to say that both of these teams this year had quite an incredible season and I want to wish both of you the absolute most
amazing seasons in the years to come and I know you guys are going to do awesome things. So, without further ado, I'm going to turn it over to Coach Duffy so that she can call all of you up here. >> Thank you, Mayor Damiano. I'm going to call up the girls now. Um, number 17,
Molina Blasco. Number five, Angelina Butler. Number 32, Michaela Cestra. Number 33, Bella Dion. Number seven, Samantha Duffy. Number 33, Elanora Hart. Number 26, Karina Gal.
Number four, Giata Anatelli. Number nine, Addison Oreos. Number 20, Eevee Thomas. And number 10, Nicolina Slavch. And of course, I couldn't do this without my amazing coaching staff, so I'm going to bring them up. Christine
Oros, Matt Fest, Drew Thomas, and Bob Butler. >> All right, come on everybody, line up here. We'll get a photo. the suit.
That's all. All right, now it's time for 9u 8 with head coach Mike Tulo. Mike, can you join me up here? All right, the nine girls team was formed in late August and by the time their first practice came around, they showed great potential. The girls won
their first game, tied their second, then had a tough loss in their third. The main thing was that was evident in this team was they never quit. From that loss on September 21st, they wound up never losing again, rattling off seven straight wins with great pitching and
hitting along with stellar defensive plays resulting in a championship. The championship game itself was super impressive because the girls won 25-4 against the team that gave them their only loss, Nutley. We're so proud of
these girls and how hard they worked all season. Congratulations, girls. All right, I'll call you up now. Great work, girls. Uh, Payton Kavanaaugh. Number one, Brooke Wagner. Number two, Emilyn Tulo.
Number three, Allesia Slav. Number six, Olivia Suarez. Number 11, Arya Kamacho. Number 13, Payton Santiago. Number 15, Claire Elhomsy. Number 16, Olivia Deepova. Number 22, Arya Deono. Number 28, Arya D. Roza.

guys for coming. You guys are h you're more than happy to stay for the rest of the meeting if you'd like, but if not and you want to head home, it's a perfect time to do so. Want to thank you guys for coming this evening. Congratulations, girls. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. >> Very full. >> Yeah.

Uh it's the busy time of the year of course with the holiday season and congrats to the two girls teams you know for being here tonight. I think mayor we've honored so many kids over

Uh just a few updates uh from me you know big thank you to Mr. Quatron as well as Mr. Campbell from the BPW department and we had a chance to connect next uh last week just to go over some signage that we need to replace add as well as just
mark off some spots based on some recent ordinances. just appreciate the back and forth from both because they take the time to to make sure this town looks great and appreciate all that they do. Um, I know we talked about the holiday party this the holiday parade coming this Saturday. Just a reminder, you
know, there's going to be communications that are going to go out from the police department as well as the township. Make sure you check it so you're not complaining on Facebook. You didn't know about it. There's going to be signage all around town to remind people. It's it's a fun night. It's going to be a little chaos for an hour, hour and a half, but it's a great time. Everybody's
going to smile, bundle up. And then one other event that's coming up December 17th, we have the Manura lighting at 6:30 at Wilmore Road um Park. So, make sure you can come to that one as well. Uh Council President, that's it for me tonight. >> Thank you, Councilman Murphy. >> Thank you, Council President. Also like
to congratulate the Lady Hornets uh for their win and for being here with us tonight. Uh on the committee front, we had a domestic violence awareness committee meeting uh on the 11th of this month. I'd like to thank uh Lieutenant Go for being in attendance. Um, we're working alongside PD and the Jersey uh
batter women's service on establishing or trying to establish a divert team here in Little Falls, which is something that's new that really only one other town in Pay County has, which is Hawthorne. Um, and so on December 2nd, we'll be having a virtual meeting uh that JBWS will be hosting about
information on training. Uh, it is a little um long training. It's about 40 hours, but we're trying to get uh enough members to be trained to be able to have this team in our town to fit any need that uh we see fit. Um so if you're interested in learning about that or you're interested in joining the divert
team, uh you can come to the meeting on the 2nd. You can shoot me an email. I'll send you the uh Zoom link and I'll get it out to you. Um on the calendar front, I would like to thank Tyler Pero from the recck department. uh he let us know that he had enough ads this year to um
along with the savings from the township basically have the whole calendar at no cost and I actually think we're going to profit from it uh this year which is which is awesome. Um he also let us know that he feels that it's going to be out sometime in uh January. So he's thinking more towards the end of the month which is a lot earlier than we've had it out
in the past. So like to thank him for all his work on it. Uh I know he put a lot of time and effort into it. Um so from on the cost perspective and getting it out early big kudos to him. Uh other than that just want to wish everybody a happy uh and healthy Thanksgiving. >> Thank you. Council member you want to
elaborate a little bit what that team is what that team would be doing? >> Yeah so divert team basically is a team where if there is a domestic violence situation in the township that would be triggered. Um in years past Betay County did have that set up. Um but oftent
times the members would have to go to various townships including Clifton Patterson at 2 o'clock in the morning. uh upon contracting the county contracting with JBWS um we can establish one that's just specific to Little Falls which we feel
will be a lot more attainable to get members and training done so that if a situation does happen and there is a survivor or a victim we will then have a line that gets established to reach out to that an anonymous line that reaches out from a divert member to give them the resources talk them through any
legal advocacy um get them into a shelter and basically be a a line of support for them um in in a time where they really need it. And so um if we could do that, it would be a home run for our residents and anybody that may be in need. So we're really looking to see if we can get that up and running. >> Thank you, Council Murphy.
>> Councelor uh just returned from the league and one of the topics that was mainly talked about uh in Atlantic City was affordable housing. I don't think I ran into uh somebody that did not speak on that topic that their township or their city was being affected. Do you
have any updates on the lawsuit or where we stand with that? >> So, uh, yes, Council President. So, as everybody's aware, uh, there is, uh, an ongoing lawsuit that the, um, township is a part of, uh, what I've termed the
Montil uh, litigation because it was really commenced, uh, out of Monteale. Um this group uh the purpose of this group was to um seek legal uh avenues to
get some relief from the affordable housing regulations. And I think it it was important that this the point of this group was not to avoid um affordable housing or for their to deny that affordable housing should be
provided in their various communities. Just that the methodology by which the state was employing was inappropriate. If you remember this uh the original way this was done was through something known as the council on affordable housing which was basically state
agency. that uh program had effectively been um um by Supreme Court order had been dissolved. And then we went through a prior round where the courts handled the affordable housing litigation by
themselves which um was somewhat somewhere between a disaster and a catastrophe. um you know where we had lawsuit in fact there's still some lawsuits left over from the prior round still going on
today that prior round began in 2015 so we're now in 2025 so 10 years later there are some towns still in various forms of litigation over the prior round uh so the the point of this round was to
streamline the process by using something known as the program uh it sounds like something out of Hollywood would uh but the program was basically a group of retired judges who were tasked with reviewing uh affordable housing
obligations and determining whether or not the municipalities were meeting their their obligation. If you remember, the numbers were set by the Department of Community Affairs way back um you know in October of last year. Uh and
ever since then, the whole point of the litigation has been to push back on the equity those numbers as well as the uh as well as the method by which the municipalities had to uh to fight them.
So while we've tried very hard uh over the past uh well not we the the main um litigation group has tried very hard to fight back on these. Unfortunately there hasn't been measurable success in the
sense that we've been able to uh stop or at least pause the process. So that's why over the past several months That's why over the past several months, Cynthia all along um you've been pass you've passed resolutions. We've had a
housing uh plan um uh submitted and approved. So, we had to do all those things that because this was part of the pro part of the process. Um but there are currently basically three aspects of litigation still ongoing. Uh one aspect
is a state um court appeal process that's going on right now. Uh the trial court level did not agree with our position with regard to the um with regard to the the constitutionality of
the process. So that's now on appeal. there's a federal action that's going on which also questions the federal aspects of the case in terms of uh equal protection and so on. And there's also a third action going on with regard to the
uh department of housing regulations. Uh this one is a thi this one is probably the craziest but it it is also um it's also one which for some reason it's it's like catching it's like catching smoke because every
time they've tried to win on this case which is I I feel as an attorney a winnable case they've just simply department of housing just has simply moved the goalpost so they didn't have regulations so there was an so there was
this lawsuit said, "Well, you didn't do the regulations. You have to do the regulations." And then magically on the day that it was supposed to appear in court, the regulations came out. Then when they challenged the regulations, because the regulations weren't done correctly, lo and behold, magically the
regulations were done correctly. And everything is done under emergent powers of the governor, which is kind of funny because we've had 10 years to prepare for this. So, how is it an emergency? But nevertheless, so in essence, it
sometimes feels it sometimes feels as if the whole system just kind of is working against us. However, that being said, that doesn't mean that Little Falls isn't doing their job. Uh we are currently in compliance with the
program. Uh we've worked very hard. uh John Bar um John Barry and I um and uh the administration have worked very hard and the council as well uh to make sure that Little Falls keeps its immunity from any sort of builder's remedy
lawsuit. we have that immunity and uh the next steps coming up unless there is some change in litigation is that in the next few months I'm going to be coming to you with regard to certain ordinances to effectuate the housing plan unless
there the litigation tells us otherwise that will be the next thing coming up to you sometime in January and February of next year because the deadline is I believe sometime time in March. I forget the day. Mid-Marchch, something like
that. Uh so, uh that's where we stand. The the fight goes on. Uh but unfortunately, well, I think legally we have a very good position to to stand on. I just don't think we've been very
successful in the courts we've been in. >> Thank Thank you, counselor, for that thorough update. We appreciate that. Uh Chief A couple updates from the police department. Uh we have Thanksgiving coming up. We're looking to uh put additional enforcements out on the road
Wednesday night. Be a big night where everybody goes down by 12 on Thursday. Uh just ask that everybody drive carefully. Designated drivers uh toy drive you from now until December 15th
