one? the cooking oil and grease recycling we have too for those you're cooking for the holidays and the cans we obviously any kind of aluminum cans or aluminum please bring down because all of that gets weighed paid and the money goes to the St. Barnabas burn unit.

>> Thank you. Um, I just wanted to mentioned that at Gillette School, making a left in the morning and a left at um, drop off and pickup, obviously during those peak times, it's almost impossible to try to get home. Um wondering if there's anything you guys
can recommend to either the police or maybe a crossing guard that we could put in there. Um I know the traffic on Valley gets heavier and heavier every year. So just wanted to bring that to your attention. >> Referring to a left coming out, correct? Coming out and going back towards Sterling, >> right?
>> Mr. Mayor, can I >> Yeah, go ahead. >> And Monzy, thank you very much for bringing that to our attention. In fact, you and I spoke along with Matt at the uh at the uh uh the tree lighting >> treeing >> earlier in December. That same night, I
did speak with uh Lieutenant Sutton. And uh so Lieutenant Sutton would like to sit down with you if you have the chance. So you can simply uh go to the police station or we can arrange uh a meeting and he'd be happy to discuss it with you. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. Email or call down there. He's he's working days now because he's promoted so he's working days and he's the head of the traffic advisory committee. So he'd be he's your best contact person. >> Okay, great. Thank you guys. And the other thing I will mention is the traffic advisory committee. I tried I
did try to look them up on the website but didn't see it on there. >> Yeah, they we meet like I think quarterly. RJ Lieutenant will give you the information on that but they meet quarterly. I think it's usually on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon and I don't know the next meeting will probably be I'm guessing maybe February or March.
I'm not sure but he runs that basically he chairs that committee so you can also talk to him about that. >> Sorry it's Aubrey jumping in. Those committee meetings are those posted somewhere so everybody can see them and I'm sorry >> they're not they're not open to the public those meetings. It's more of a it's a there are public members on the
committee. There are four public members of the public on the committee. But if there's, like I said, if there's something you want on the agenda, please let us know. And Lieutenant Sutton is probably your best contact guy. >> Yeah, he's very prepared. >> This is a subcommittee uh work committee, if you will, uh that we take
um um comments from the public, uh whether they call us or or shoot us an email or write us about various complaints and so forth, and we discuss them at the um at the traffic advisory. >> Okay. Thank you. you. And I also wanted to add that um Monte, I'm happy you
brought that up because I personally uh walk my dogs across that all the time and actually there is the um crosswalk that's there and my daughter and I and the dogs will hit that button all the time and nobody like nobody respects the
um I want to say nobody. There's probably like two people in all the times we've walked across there that respect the blinking of the pedestrian crosswalk even though it's a law in New Jersey. So, I understand how challenging that road is, especially by Gillette School.
>> All right. >> The good news on that, Aubrey, is that blinking light was the result of that traffic advisory committee. So, action was taken. >> Oh, I love that. >> Whether it's worked, [laughter] >> of course, >> I don't think it's the fault of the committee. It's just the public that
>> the drivers [clears throat] >> care, >> including, by the way, some of the folks that are making the left into that very parking lot. So sometimes it it takes cooperation from everybody, including those who bring it to the attention of the committee. And Monzie, I'm not
speaking about you. I I'm just saying >> before your time. >> We've we've learned over the over over time that when uh folks sometimes complain about say speeding on XYZ road, the first person pulled over is the very person that made the complaint about people in the neighborhood.
>> All right. Were you able to get CA back on? >> Monty, I'm going to remove your permission to talk. CA, I'm going to allow you to speak again. >> He's got two. He's 02 count. So,
you take a fast ball down the middle and go down looking and end the year. It has something to do with his microphone. >> He can call it. Is he on his phone? >> I I'm I'm not sure how he's on.
>> Is he Is he the only other person on? >> Um there's um other people on, but nobody is raising their hands. >> Okay. So, we'll give him another 10 seconds, 12, 15 seconds, and that's that. And if it's about New Jersey American, we're not suing them. So, I might have
answered his question. All right, time is up. So, he knows our email. So, if he has an issue, he can just directly email any of us. All right. Anything else on the agenda? Uh, we have to go into executive. >> Okay. So, wait, what? We So, how do we leave this open with no We're not taking
any further action today, are we? >> No. >> Possible further? >> No. So, we don't we're we're going to close down the meeting and we're going to adjourn to executive with no further action um to discuss a few different items that were listed on the uh meeting
agenda. >> Thank you and happy new year everybody. Have a safe >> made the motion? >> Nobody yet. 2026 >> motion to go to exec with no further action. Happy new year. God bless and 26 to everybody. >> I second that. >> All right. All in favor? I
>> I >> Thank you.
