>> committeeman Lavender >> present. >> Committeeman Burlesa >> present. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy >> here. >> Mayor Bertia >> present. So at this point item number four your agenda I'd like to open up the meeting to the public. Remarks and statements
pertaining to agenda items only. Comments please. remarks if you could limit them to three minutes. We will also have a public session at the end if you wanted to wait till seeing none. Megan, please could you check online?
>> Anybody online would like to make a public comment regarding any agenda items? Please raise your hand. Now, >> I don't see anyone. Mayor, >> thank you, Megan. So, item number five, ordinances, ordinance 583-26,
first reading Introduction. This ordinance repeals and replaces existing chapter 15 affordable housing and section LU-185 development fees of the local counters municipal code. Jack, this is where I turn. >> Yes. This ordinance was prepared by our
township planner Jessica Caldwell because the department of community affairs just released a new model ordinance uh last week or the week before which incorporates all the changes to the new affordable housing act. the Fair Housing Act as well as
changes to the uh the UAC regulations. So, it updates all of our ordinances. >> Thank you. Any questions for Jack? Seeing none, can I have a motion? >> So, move. >> Second. >> Committee Lavender.
>> Yes. >> Committeeman Vlesa. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Peria, >> yes. Ordinance 582-26, first reading. introduction concerning township committee meeting procedures and supplementing and amending chapter two
entitled administration Jack. Yes, th this ordinance codifies a lot of the practices that we've been doing committee meetings over the years. But the most important thing I think is that it sets up the procedures for hybrid meetings and provides that if in fact
technological problems prevent uh remote viewers or remote participants from participating that does not affect the validity of any questions. Can I have a motion? >> So move. >> Second.
>> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Verza. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Peria. >> Yes. Ordinance 581-26. First reading introduction and the township of Longville in the county of Mars, New Jersey. adopting a redevelopment plan
for block 1141 lot on the official tax of the township commonly known as one 06-1122 Valley Road I asked for an explanation could you
also identify the property in question those numbers >> yeah this ordinance is referring to the cartwash site which is part of our fourth round affordable share housing This actually supersedes the zoning
ordinance, a zoning ordinance, and sets the bulk standards and things like that, height setbacks and things for the the uh the car wash development, which will include 167 total units, 20% of which will be affordable. Then the next step
after this, the real details will get ironed out in a redevelopment plan that will get negotiated with the developer of the project. And Jack, correct me if I'm wrong. This site had already been site area an area of redevelopment for
previous that that's correct. This was previously declared a site in need of redevelopment in connection with the proposed assisted living facility which never happened. >> So that step's been eliminated. It's already been done. So we don't have to
go through those initial steps. >> And just to everyone's this is only come back for second reading. Uh but if it passes tonight and to pass what happens to the plan at that point
gets the planning board gets just like we do and then it comes back to the town committee and then as I say the next step would be to negotiate the redevelopment plan with the develop which includes a lot of things that
we're doing a site plan. So I ask the committee any questions? >> All right, I'm abstaining from it, but other than that, I have nothing to say. >> Nothing to say. >> All right, so looking for a motion to approve on first meeting.
>> So move second. >> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committ Raza, >> yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy, >> abstain. >> Mayor Peria, >> yes. Um, so ordinance 580-26 second meeting. This is for adoption. So
we will have a public hearing, but Megan, I think we're not quite there yet in terms of the number. So we're just going to carry this one or >> this is the ordinance that's abolishing. >> So we can still do that. >> Correct. You're you're you're you were
going to set the um committee via resolution in the consent agenda. We were going to add the names, but that we're going to postpone. We're going to accept the resignations from I think a wreck um wreck advisory committee and the
board of health, but we can still continue with the second reading and adoption of this ordinance. >> All right. So, for the public certification, what we're doing is combining those two committees. You think in light of a lot of work they have done in the past, it's better for them to start working together. Not
least of which commonly known as Central Park. So it's not that we are not focusing on this anymore. We just think combining the two groups will make it more efficient.
That said, since this is second meeting, I'd like to open up the meeting to the public. for this onlybody online. >> If anybody on Zoom would like to make a public comment, please raise your hand now.
>> I don't see anyone, mayor. >> Thank you, Megan. So, I'd like to meet the public. Can I have a motion to adopt ordinance 580-26? >> So, move. Second. >> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. Committee Verza.
>> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Peria. >> Yes. Consent agenda. >> Anybody on the committee like to move any further discussion or anyone need to abain? >> I'd like to I'd like to just comment on one. >> Sure.
>> 26-058. Um, thank you Randy for setting up the purchase of a new senior bus. I know there's been a lot of lot of requests on that in the past. Looks like >> Yeah, we'll refer to it as the community
bus. >> The community bus is coming. >> So, yes, >> thank you. >> That'll be uh I think it's well overdue. >> What's the timeline on that? >> Um quick. They have it. Um they have it. So, >> so it'll be the next couple months or
so. >> No, I'm thinking the next couple days. >> Oh, that's even better. Now, now to get it to get it in place, it'll it'll probably be a month, month and a half to but uh we'll it'll probably be on site very shortly. Okay. >> And um
>> and then we'll uh get everything that we need to do to it and get it up and running. >> That's good news. >> Megan, which one are we going to pull because >> we're not pulling it because we're still going to accept the resignation of uh Dr. Teresa Redling from the board of
health and the wreck advisory committee. Um I forget who it was. >> I'm I'm sorry I'm scrolling through >> Christine Merrill. >> Yes. Christine Merrell. So, you're still going to accept those two resignations and then we'll put it on um the next
meeting agenda for the open space beautifification committee. >> Okay. Megan said, "So, can I have a motion to approve resolutions numbers 26-0526-2?" So moved with the amendment to 26061
adding Terresa Red from the board of health. >> Thank you. >> Looking for a second. >> Second. >> Committ Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committee Verza. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Peria.
>> Yes. >> And u Mayor, I think we owe Dr. a big thank you for her service over the years on the board of health. Um, she's been an inspiration. Uh, and uh,
you know, it's hard to find people of that caliber that are willing to volunteer for such a long time. So, it should be hard to replace. >> All right. So, let's fire up the crowd. a little unruly out there. So, we have you coming down a bit.
>> All right, let's go. >> I'm ready to rumble. Let's go. >> Well, so the only problem is for some reason this USB >> is not >> Did you want to start with someone else other than >> Oh, well, I've been trying throughout the meeting to get it up and running and for some reason. >> You know what?

Thank you. Thank you, sir. >> Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Just a quick update. First aid squad relatively low uh month, 44 calls, but maybe for the unfortunate reason that it was brutally cold. They usually average somewhere
between 60 and 70 calls. That's a way of introducing 44 calls. They were still out there day and night. Uh so just an incredible Thank you to the first aid squad. Thank you to the Sterling Fire Company. Thank you to the Millington Fire Company. They are always there at the ready
volunteers. So even though they do have annual fun drives, it's always a good time to donate to these uh fine young men and women. So keep them uh in your thoughts, prayers, and checkbooks if you
are able to do so. So now uh I No, we're gonna go Randy. I almost skipped you. Okay. Uh, thank you, mayor. Um, I have a couple updates on projects and and other
things. So, I'll try and go through this real quick. Uh, Long Hill phase one uh project for repaving. That contract was awarded to Fisher Contracting. Uh, it's on board to start in early spring. A pre-con meeting uh is going to be
occurring at the end of February, beginning of March. Long phase two has been submitted to DOT for review on January 16th. U hope to bid that ear uh February early March after DOT approval.
Um Chestnut Street, also a DOT project that was submitted for review on January 21st. Uh hopefully similar timing as to Long Hill phase 2 so we can bid that together and hopefully get better pricing uh for our residents. Uh, New
Jersey American Water started their Sterling Lake Preserve critical crossing pier as a replacement project. What that is, they're replacing the above ground sewer line that goes through the park. Uh, so they had to get a lot of D
approvals and all that. They just started this past week uh for clearing trees and and the like to get that started. They have indicated that the they will be finished by time the lake opens in May. They have also started um
on Southfield Street uh for sewer expansion. Um so that I believe they just start they were supposed to start uh February 2nd but with the weather and everything I believe they just started that uh in the last couple days. Um so
there's a couple projects that are uh included in that. They start they're starting on Southfield. They're going to be doing Mercer Street, Sussex West to the End and Sussex Avenue, Mercer the Valley. Um we'll be meeting uh we'll be
reconvening with our contractors for the tennis courts and basketball courts. Uh we um have got received the core sampling for the tennis courts and and what kind of conditions are underneath the tennis court. Um the basketball
court. Uh we to finish um in the fall, but we ran into some soil issues uh with that. So, uh we'll be discussing that uh to uh continue in the early spring. Planning and zoning. Uh they had a
hearing last week on on uh well started a hearing last week on the zoning board for cell tower at Millington Fire Department. That's been that is continuing on March 17th. Uh they received an application for Duncan to be located at 1300 Valley Road. Uh I
believe that is just a um a drive-thru with uh with counter service. No seating inside. >> That that's the old Santander Bank. >> I believe that's correct. Uh so that is scheduled for 33. Um there are six there
there are six um applications before the board of adjustment for various residential improvements. Um Mr. Rocker 44 play for the vote submitt an application for amendment to his approved uh application. Uh there's no timeline for that and uh in that five
zoning in that office five zoning permits were issued for the month of January. In construction, the biggest thing obviously they get uh construction permits all the time for improvements to residential, but the big one they received the plans for Gillette
Crossing. So they are in review with the uh construction official and various sub codes. >> Could you identify where is Gillette? >> Gillette crossing is across from the towels. Is that correct? >> U across from the towels. It sets back a
little bit. Uh they have been doing work on that site because they were previously given uh um permits to do um the foundation at their own risk and prior to the sore uh ban lift and we had
a whole agreement with them that they acknowledge doing it at their own risk and so forth so on. So uh they have plans submitted um so I would suspect uh once the weather breaks you're going to see some construction starting down there.
uh clerk's office has has uh bit had a very busy uh January. They issued 462 dog license, 221 yearly parking permits and that's from the later half of December and January. They issued 336
daily permits and 174 other registrations, licenses uh request process and that also includes uh food trucks. Um there are food trucks in Millington every weekend. Um
so code enforcement there were 34 uh complaints that came through the office. 20 notices were sent uh were sent out. Three summones were issued. There were two court hearings going on and uh some and one of those court hearings was
extension. Uh 24 recycling notices were issued. U those are people in violation of proper recycling and one temporary sign permit uh was issued to place 50 signs out from January 20th to the end
of um February. Um we did recreation. Uh so municipal court just to give you an idea they collected $6,71088 in fines and for the month of January of
which 3,23686 comes to Long Hill. So >> if you could do the math, >> we have a shared court. >> We have No, this has this has nothing to do with the shared court. This is just this is just longill. The county gets a
cut. The state gets a cut. All the uh sir charges of all the different things uh get their cut. >> What was your original number? 6,710 to 3,236. So less than less than 50% of the money stays within longill. Now there are ones
that like local ordinances we get more money than than other tickets. Um so >> so the percentages can change but that's evidence of the significance. >> Yeah. Of how much uh how much uh our our court administrator collects for the
state and the county. So, um, during that month, the court processed 95 tickets and 16 criminal complaints. And that is >> I'll give you one more. I think I know you're on top of this, but it's a topic of discussion, social media and stuff
like that. So, Wallill Road, as you come up from Myersville, if you make a right, make a right before you go down the hill mountain to the right all the way into Millington is county. If you make a left, that is Long County. Could you give a brief update on where we are? I
know there's concerns. The road is in, you know, some disrepair. >> Let me let me reread that for you. >> All right. That's long phase one. >> The contract the contract was awarded to Fisher Contracting. Uh that section is from Meyersville Mountain Intersection,
started a township road segment heading east approximately 4800 ft. uh houses 498 491 on the north and south sides. Longhill phase 2 has been submitted to DOT. In fact, we just got um even though we got an award of of contract in no
award of um uh grant in November, the official award came just the other day, which I believe uh deputy mayor and the mayor saw that on on the um on the system on the DOT system. So, we hope to
bid that late February, early March. Uh, but we need the DOT to review those plans, which they're going to push and that will take it to the chatter border from where we stop. So, the idea is hopefully organizing everything
together. So, it's it looks like one project >> and and these numbers are public information, I presume, so anybody can look at it. just to explain to the public why we wait and we try to coordinate so they don't have to pay for it. What's the size of the grants each of each of them?
>> I I don't have that off the top of my head. Um but there are substance for grants u you know 500 $400,000. So you know for Long Hill Road we got probably close to 88 8900,000 >> instead of just instead of just one 500.
So >> it's not that we're just kicking the can. We try to coordinate this app for grants when >> when applicable. All right. So I think we're ready to go into item number nine
discussion. This is filling a vacancy on the township committee with possible action. I don't have to read 26-063. I should explain what we're doing. All right. So uh when a member of town committee and this is to replace the
Well, just the completion of this year, December 31, uh, 2026. It doesn't go to the reorg. It just goes to December 31st. Okay. So, uh, Aubrey Betine, our friend who did an amazing job,
she stepped down effective a couple weeks back, I think. >> So, the way it works is this. Uh, the Longill Township uh, Republican County Committee discussed uh number of names and they put forth
three names to this committee uh and from those three names this committee decided on one uh and that gentleman I see he's often in the audience is Frank Liberado I think Vic has worked quite extensively
with Frank in the past so I'm going to ask Vic to say a few words >> Frank you've run three very strong campaigns in the past. You grew up in Long Hill Township. You're a um very well-liked and respected member of the
Sterling Fire Company. Um your experience in major construction projects um I based on what's going on in Long Hill in the future, I think it's going to be well that knowledge is going to be very welcome and needed. Um,
I I I couldn't be happier or prouder to uh have you on board. I think we all look forward to working with you. >> Yeah, I'll u I'll add to that, Frank. Uh, congratulations. Um, very happy that you're going to be joining us. Um, you should know that it
was absolutely unanimous and a very short discussion. So, um, welcome aboard and, um, we feel like you're the right guy with the right skills at the right time. So, thank you for, uh, stepping up and and being a part of this.
>> People want a new voice. Frank's got better of meeting attendance. Some of us all the time. >> I was going to say that, too. >> He is plugged. He is plugged in. He understands. He listens to what's going on. He knows a lot of people. And, as Vic said, he ran. He's definitely interested. The issues we had with him
in the past, we've made up. I think he realized that he was sold a bill of goods by certain people and when he took a step back he realized that I think I think he realizes what happened and he was abused unfortunately. Um but I said I think he said people want a new voice and Frank
provides a new voice and uh welcome aboard. As Scott said, it was a very short conversation. >> He certainly does provide a voice and uh he's he's dedicated and he's here. He's got his finger to the pulse as to what's going on in Long Hill. Really, I mean,
it is true. He's been at as many meetings u as many of us here on the on the township committee. >> Madam clerk, I correct me if I'm wrong. Cannot redact public uh meeting comments from anybody on the
>> No comment. >> That's that's in the record, right? >> And and and last but not least, what I'd like to say is what I always about Frank uh is when he come to meetings and he would come to that uh mic, he would always uh be prepared for what he was
going to ask or state. Uh and he was always respectful when he did so and I can't say the same for some members of the public. So I thank you for that. I welcome you. And Megan, correct me if I'm wrong. Uh what we'll do is we won't
swear in Frank this evening. You'll something maybe tomorrow whatever Frank's schedule meets and then at the next meeting so you will be a member of the township committee whenever you and Megan can work out a time but for the official swearing in
>> ceremonial have a ceremony it will be ceremonial invite whoever you'd like uh friends family etc >> what is that ceremony again >> when the 25th >> that will be the 25th >> next two weeks perfect
So, enough nice things about Frank. >> Can we do an ad hoc presentation? >> You have to you have you have to do a public comment before the >> That's correct. Correct. >> Correct. You have to you have to have public comment prior to adopting a resolution.
>> That's what I thought. So, at this point, I would invite any member of the public who would like to come up, ask questions, make comments, etc. on this and this topic. We know you know the rules uh the Crescent in Millington and mayor
you stole my thunder because when you announced um Frank joining the township committee. I was going to say exactly what you said that he is always well prepared when he addresses the committee. He knows his stuff and I look
forward to his being a member on the township committee as well. Good choice. >> Thank you. >> Thank you for coming out. It's cold so you didn't have to and thank you for your service to the town as well. >> Any other
>> I don't know who this person is. He looks like he might be a Satan Hall fan. >> Good evening. Charles Renaitz Millington at the gains, right? >> Charles Renaitz Millington. Let me thank you all for having uninous vote towards my neighbor serving on the
township committee. Frank has lived here a long time, is knowledgeable, current on what's going on, and I think he will help you as a group increase the communication to us.
That'll be very good. Looking forward to having Frank in front of me. Thank you very much, >> Frank. The honeymoon period will end. First time you vote against something that >> enjoy this, Frank.
Take it in. >> Megan, is that anybody else in in the audience? >> Uh, Megan, anybody online? >> If anybody on Zoom would like to make a public comment, please raise your hand now. I don't see anyone there.
>> Okay. So, now I'm looking for a motion. >> I make a motion uh to appoint uh Frank Liberado to the Long Hill Township Committee uh effective upon his swearing in. >> Second.
>> Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman Verza. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. >> Yes. >> Mayor Peria, >> yes. Welcome aboard, Frank. Congratulations. I want to give Frank a stand. WELCOME. >> All right.
>> Get to work, would you? >> Megan, send them his packet. >> You worked hard for this, Frank. You deserve it. >> All right. So, any any committee leaison that somebody doesn't want, we'll get assigned to Frank. Give it to Mikey. >> Yeah, Mikey likes it.
>> All right. So that's that motion. All right. So this is something I asked Jack u you know the board of adjustment is a quas judicial body. So the town committee
doesn't interject in anything they hear decide etc. But if something happens, whether an applicant doesn't like a decision or uh the public doesn't like a decision, you know, whatever if it's appeal to the committee. So Jack, I'm
asking you. Okay. So that's why I asked Jack. >> Yes. >> If in fact the board of adjustment grants a use variance variance, then any interested person can take an appeal to the tax committee. >> Any person.
>> Any Yeah, that's right. any other appeal if it's denied then the appeal would have to be by Verizon to the court. >> Okay. >> So, but an objector if it's granted can go directly to the court but in most
cases they would go to the governing body first because it's cheaper and more >> come to the township committee say it was appeal committee >> is it a simple majority? >> Yes. >> What happens at that point? >> You consider the record before the
And then you vote simple majority. You would either affirm the finding of the board of adjustment granting the site plan approval and variances or you could deny it in which case the applicant as I say could then appeal to the superior court filing
action. >> Any any questions on that from the township committee? >> No, I understand the process. >> Yep. All right. Just I mean social media, please for the love of God. >> Don't go to social media for
>> but it's for that reason that the town committee can't comment on that pending application. They cannot appear before the board either in favor of or in opposition to the application because if it did get appealed to the committee that member would have to recuse himself
from hearing that all right so another discuss we going to discuss it or what are we doing discuss it >> feels more like an FYI >> no not any application >> I think I think I think the deputy mayor is asking if if you could discuss the
ordinance because this doesn't have to be an ordinance. >> Yeah, that's my point. I don't want to be involved in any of this. >> My concern is the way that the way that the law is written, it says if so permitted by ordinance. So um as Jack said if somebody if application is
approved right it could be a deck at my house and guy doesn't like it he can come here and appeal it and then if he doesn't like the decision here one side doesn't they can appeal then they have to appeal it to the court approve of a progative right to the appellet to the law division in Mars County. My concern is one I don't I'm not a land use
attorney. I don't feel like sitting as an appellet board for the zoning board and I don't I don't have the time or patience to review all these records. these hearing can be on for days and it's not fair to the applicants and what's going to happen is whoever whoever we decide the other part is going to appeal it anyway again and then
the attorneys can ask for attorney's fees. So what happens is if they come in front of us um whoever side loses could still go to the to the county. That's correct. >> For the court and that's one more step in the process and more legal fees along the way for everybody. So if there's an objector that doesn't have a lot of
money, they're going to have to use some money to have their attorney and professional fifth attorney come here. Jack, we just >> No, it's totally on the record below and it's only use variances. >> So we have to sit here literally like the appellet division sit here and read through transcripts and listen >> transcripts and make a decision. >> Yeah, I'm not qualified to do that and I don't want to be qualified to do that.
So my position is I like to just move that change our ordinance to get rid of the our ordinance. So it has to directly go to the law division in Mars County. So if somebody has a problem with a decision made by the zoning board, they go to the courts and not us. That's that's my position.
>> So my question I just to add to that. So Jack, if that were in fact what we changed the does that put a financial burden on the uh the objector generally objectors would appear often would appear proay
before. >> I'm sorry in most cases that I've seen objectors approve say before the tax committee the case they don't hire a lawyer they have to pay for they have to pay for transcript but they would have to do that if they go to the court anyway >> so you know it's a policy decision it's
up to you guys but that's right it's optional it can only it only happens it feels only the tax committee has provided for that process >> I I'm saying I just don't want to be involved in it that's my position >> I hear what you're saying
>> let the professionals deal with it >> not anymore qualified than you are. >> Do they the option is though the objective they don't have to come here. >> Can they can they go? >> So it doesn't really >> they can go right to the court.
>> They can but they can come here. It's probably a lot cheaper too because Jack's right. You have to they order they order the transcripts regardless however much that costs. So they have to do that one way or another. Then if they come here they might not it's just basically they just want to review and we have to look at the transcripts. I don't even think they present anything.
But if they go to the county, >> Yeah. So that way it just we review the records. But if they go to the county, whether they have an attorney or not, they still have to have legal briefs and somebody that actually understands the law better than we do has to review this and they have a hearing and other things. So it's not just four or five
people here making a decision who aren't land use attorneys. >> I guess my only point is the objector has the option to direct. do. But do you want to be in the middle of that? >> Well, they go right to the courts. And look, if they don't like our decision,
for example, let's say uh I don't know. >> No, but I'm saying they could skip us. >> They could, but why why skip us? They don't have to do anything. They get a free bite at the apple >> for us because they have to order the transcript. So, it's going to cost them the same amount of money. >> Just because my dad used to say, just because something doesn't mean you
>> Yeah. No, I understand that. >> In your experience, what do other towns have to do? In my experience, most towns have that step, but that doesn't happen. It's totally up to you. >> It just doesn't seem like it's a
necessary step for them to come up and in front of us. >> Not necessary. >> And if they don't like our decision, either side's going to appeal it and go to the I mean, appeal it, go file a rid of a prug to the county anyway. So, it's really just a extra work for us for people who don't know what we're talking. >> It's a free bite of the apple if they
come here. Is it cost if they are required to go to the court. That's that's the only >> Well, they could end up going to the court. >> I agree with you. We're not >> No, I'm saying is say for example, like I said, use your deck as an example. Say say the township committee says, "You know what? You know what? The objector's right. Guys shouldn't be able to put a
deck on for whatever reason." Then you have to go to the county and deal with it there. Or if we upheld it and say, "Yeah, you know what? You could put a deck on." Then the objector has to go to the county to appeal it. >> There's one point. There's a presumption of validity to an appeal to the court just like
validity. >> Okay. We don't have to discuss. >> No, I'm just that's why I just want to discuss it. >> I've given up our juice. >> I wouldn't have known. >> No, that's don't like I just want to discuss it. We not make a decision. >> We're giving up our juice. Now, initially I was all for it. Now I'm uh teetering.
We have to discuss it a little more. It appears I might have convinced Vic and your case went right down to >> not the first time I lost in court. So >> Okay. I mean we we'll probably revisit this. It's not like >> Yeah, that's why I just wanted to get the conversation started.
>> Right. We don't want to make it look like we're doing this particular >> but it's possible this might to Matt's point. So we might want to think we're gonna ask you on this one. The mayor's flooding coalition with
possible action. Yeah, we we had uh um talked about this at the previous meeting. Uh this is this has been spearheaded by New Providence and Berkeley Heights and and ironically uh and that storm we got spared and
Berkeley Heights and New Providence got hammered with the flooding u last year and u you know now they want to get all the towns together along the Payic and and do a couple things. Um so They're
looking for a coalition of different municipalities interested. Uh there is a grant opportunity that um we can get federal funding for dn snagging um the poseic. Uh however, we have to have at
least three communities uh agree to that. I think um we've talked about this a lot about the snagging and um I'm not going to speak for you guys, but I think you guys are in favor of of trying to get federal money to help us dag the
river. Um so uh but I'll let you guys decide that. Um there is a resolution that would have to be done which doesn't have to be done today. So we don't need to take possible action today but it does have to be done by the 25th. However, uh I'm sorry at the 25th
meeting. However, they do want a verbal commitment that we're on board to >> Well, correct me if I'm wrong. There's already two towns. You need three. We would be the third. >> We would be the third. >> There's probably going to be there's probably going to be more than just us. >> So, and I mean, and just so everybody
understands, things have changed since 15 years ago when the whole idea of the flood wall, etc., etc. Now, whatever it is, you must do things holistically or whatever the thing is, you cannot act alone. Uh, so this is just a natural progression of that,
>> right? >> Can we take a voice to just this tonight. >> Yes, you can do a motion. >> You may need a formal resolution. >> We do. We do, but the resolution will be to uh join the coalition and then become
a member for federal grant funding. Um and then uh what what will happen is uh they're talking to Kier Engineering who we happen to know through New Jersey American Water uh to give us a quote of filing the application and everything else and
towns will share in that cost. So, um, you know, if you vote, uh, that's what the essence of the resolution would be. So, if you want to take a vote, we could, you know, we could, uh, plug in the long hill name and everything else on the resolution. And, um,
>> not that I doubt you, Jack. Is that sufficient? >> It probably is because this is not application formal, >> right? >> Resolution form. >> You can't make a motion. So, I'll make the motion. >> Can I just jump in? Um, looking at the
backup in the packets, it looks like, um, >> we work to obtain the following items from the towns and counties. Letter of support from the mayor, county manager, or county administrator. So, maybe today you could make a motion for Randy to
send a letter in support of this >> and then at the next meeting you can do the resol resolution. >> We have to have it by Friday. >> No, the the the buy in, if you will, a verbal verbal
will be fine. So, that would be my letter of support. >> So, you guys are going to make a motion. >> I think Scott was going to make that. >> Yeah. So, I'll make I'll make a motion by resolution uh to allow Randy communicate properly to make us part of this coalition
>> as stated. >> I'll second. Committeeman Lavender. >> Yes. >> Committeeman VZA. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. Yes. >> Mayor Peria, >> yes. And thank you. >> Now, the other thing that they they really are encouraging any residents out there listening in the audience and so
forth that want to send a letter of support of this project um to they have to uh Senator Booker uh a form letter, but uh you know, contact contact us. We could give you a format letter. Uh but
you know we we want to collect those letters from residents and and send it along with our application to to help us. >> Fair enough. And and I would point out the towns a little north of us form park and a bunch of other towns did just this
and they received a significant grant from DC. uh then Congress, Congresswoman Mike Cheryl, now Governor Mike Cheryl was intimately involved in that application process. So I think this is
something that has appeal solves problems and it's not political, right? Nobody's going to fight this. No. So the other thing that I I learned earlier like last year when they started is that they were going around the D. They were
getting the funding from some other federal organization. That's how they got the money up in Whippony area >> and it worked out. They got the money. So things working out. So I think it's a new approach. So hopefully it works. >> Thank you. I think we passed it already. Megan, did we?
>> Okay. So next up, uh, mayor. >> Yes, sir. >> For the next one, convert commercial vehicles and driveway. In the interest of efficiency and getting a subject matter expert on this, I believe this is a perfect homework assignment to give to our new committee.
And I'm I'm absolutely serious because he has the subject matter expertise to read through this >> and you know has his finger on the pulse of the workmen in town who have these trucks. So why don't we like not make cash out of this right now? >> Yeah. Like just push it forward
>> and let Frank look at it. And I'm the only I'm not laughing at your idea or suggestion. I think it's a great idea. I'm just laughing that poor Frank hasn't even been sworn in. He has a homework assignment. Pick it up. >> It's a soft can I just say two things
before Frank. One is at the last meeting you asked for the commercial vehicle parking as well as no parking on the uh lawn. So I combined the two. >> Yep. I noticed that. I read through it. Also, Bridgewater had it in their zoning ordinance section, but since it also
regulates parking on the street, it seemed to me it was more appropriate to have it as a police power regulation. So, that's where it is. It's not in the zoning. >> Yeah, the street parking is going to be an issue because we've got >> people regularly park on the street, different places in town. I looked into Northfield,
>> of course, they park there because they park there every day when they're picking up their kids for school, >> right? And you know, so I We've got an interesting town with a lot of different neighborhoods. That's right. We have to be very thoughtful about that. Look, I
have my car on my lot. All right. I'm definitely not going to be in favor of that. >> You do? >> I do. You know, there's a motor pool. >> I wasn't loving it passage. I just wanted to point out where it was. Yeah. So, anyway.
>> All right. So, we we can push that a little bit further. Treat protection ordinance. Are we going to have to Yeah, I think we should. This is an ordinance that was submitted to the tanch committee by the planning board actually even though it's not an MLUL
ordinance in 2010. Uh the t committee did not adopt it. So I think it should go back to the uh shade tree committee or commission. Uh and uh >> I lost >> I lost the argument then. Yes, but you
keep trying forgot. >> You keep trying, but but it's very similar to the one that the shade tree commission submitted to the t committee at another point in time. I don't remember exactly when they're almost identical. So, but we should submit it to them, especially with respect to the types of trees and things which I have
no expertise in whatsoever. I can tell Maple Man. So, so what are we going to send this to them? Ask him to clean up. >> Mark it up. Ask him to mark it up as opposed to rewriting and then we can They could make it a red line markup so
that way I'll know what they change because I was involved in that first order. >> If they can track the changes that >> All right. Uh, carports I mean >> right >> this was this was postponed from the
last uh township committee meeting where we didn't discuss carports. We currently have no ordinance in regards to carports and you had some feelings about >> you being so >> how do you define a carport? That's sort of first off.
>> So a carport is when you have a you know you have a driveway and you have a like a >> structure >> structure that's not a garage uh with a top on it. So So sometimes it's four poles with a with a piece of Yes. with a
piece of canvas stretched across. Sometimes it's uh uh you know it's you know aluminum whatever you know whatever uh whatever is done but I I I think it's just something that you know should be discussed because some people
they put like uh you know like a tent looking thing over their driveway. It's not the greatest look for the neighborhood. That's for sure in a lot of cases. But, you know, we're not trying to necessarily, of course, we're not looking to try to create a hardship for anybody who currently has one, but I
mean, uh, I don't think it's, again, when you when you, uh, erect a temporary structure and you just leave it there for years. Like, I've seen I see people that have like a four post and like a tent, like a tent, like something you would use in a street fair, but they're parking their car under it. >> Is our current
or silent here? >> Totally silent. >> So, you So, you're saying similar to like a gazebo that I see in Home Depot or something like that. >> Yes. >> I've seen that at the end of the driveway. People put something up like that and they're parking their cars under it.
>> What about the people that have like just an extended roof out the side of their house with like it's actually wood? >> Yeah. >> Right now, I I again I think if it's existing uh and you already have it, we're not looking to have ask people to take tear it down. because
>> but I uh but I think you know moving forward we might want to have some type of ordinance regarding you know car ports and >> to what reference though I would have thought you needed some sort of permit or something you might have >> you need construction >> that's what I thought
>> and you could certainly establish if you wanted to allow carport you could establish standards >> is the definition then temporary carport >> right you know become permanent like fix it Well, no, they're not permanent. >> They're temporary tents. They're they're
mobile structures. >> Yeah, they're more like tents. >> Okay. They're mobile which stay up for years, >> but but they're visible, but they're visible from the street in a driveway. >> Right. >> Right. >> And those probably would not have nonconforming structure status because
they're not. >> All right. So, how should we proceed? >> Attorneys here. She can take it. >> I see some members of the plan. I see the planning board. I see that I see a lot of people out there. This is great.
This I'm like Finn. I like when after meetings, everyone else has an assignment. >> So, I think we have an assignment. >> You didn't have to show up, but you're here. That's a that that that's a good idea though. Maybe what we do is refer this because um
>> the ordinance committee can kind of look at this and just see if the idea is consistent with the master plan that makes and then this way we don't have to >> you know >> let's let's qualify it first before we spend a lot of time on it. >> Good point. >> So I mean sorry
the assignment I'll also follow up with her, but is there guidelines that you're looking to put in? >> I think this point regulating carports, >> regulating carports, permanent and permanent and temporary. Yeah, they got to define it first, right?
>> Are there any examples of other towns that have ordinances like this that we can refer to? >> There are I remember I looked last year when this first came up and there aren't many that regulate, but there are some They're all in general, >> right? Give them something to, you know,
give them a a guideline to to go by. >> Perfect. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Next up, page five agenda. 2026 Sterling Street Fair with possible action. Megan, are you going to
>> the action? >> Update what? Okay, so the street fair uh they they come in over you obviously. Uh what they want to do is extend extend >> the
street fair to include Union Street west of Maine. So basically Union Street uh going west to the dead end. So they want to not only have it on Main Avenue but also have it on Union Street.
My only question. We talked to like the three. >> We talked Well, I I I did not, but I talked to public works and and the chief of police and they didn't seem to have any they didn't have any concerns or issues over it. It's a dead end street.
Uh limited, you know, limited, like you said, uh deputy mayor, limited, uh houses on their street, but they would have to be in communication with those people because they will be stranded there if they don't. >> They're stranded regardless. has to know how far down >> how far down they want to encroach on
Union Street. >> I guess by definition, Matt, you're right. They're already stranded. >> They're stranded anyway. >> But it's just how far are they going to go down Union Street. I don't know because I don't think they want the people on their property. That's my concern. >> Why do we just >> I already did I I mean, I did discuss it
with one of the individuals who proposed this and I I thought it was a good idea >> to at least contact the resort of agreement. Yeah, we really have you have D down there. I think one other house in Fran Mason. Fran's on the corner. But as long as I would just let
them know what's going on before and they know they're shut out during >> Right. They know that they're when the they're going to be disturbed in some manner when there's the Sterling Street Fair. We're only looking to extend it. I think it I don't think it necessarily extends their disturbance. >> No. No. But they don't might not want people on their property.
>> Right. Right. Of course the only issue. >> But if that's the main concern, we could just make it contingent. You can't go on property. >> Yeah, I understand that. You know how people get >> well is there is there >> so what would be the procedure to move it forward and not have it the never happen
>> well I'm assuming that the chamber of commerce would like this approved uh sooner rather than later because there is food trucks that are trying to come in and get permits um for the street fairs. There's vendors. There's the promotional uh company that they hire. So they kind of want to get the ball
rolling. Um, so I guess you could make the approval of the resolution contingent upon not infringing on people's personal property. >> I I would be okay with that. >> That's that's fine as long as they know to stay off the people's property live
there. They they also for this for the secondary part of this um is that they want to put the banner uh similar to where where we put the last banner um along Valley Road next to the park and
they're looking to buy pole banners uh similar to our veteran banners that we put up along Main Avenue to advertise the street fair. >> Who's going to put them up and take them down though? >> They and and G Mr. Gianakus asked if public works could put them up. The
unknown question. I did talk I did talk I did talk with the DPW director. He and I had the same question is like how many because he didn't he didn't say how many. And I don't think and and again they're going to have to buy the
banners. So if if he's going to put a date on it, that's a one-time thing because you can't use them next year. Um, so I I gotta get more information from Mr. Geianis, but um I I I don't think it would be beneficial for them to
put it on every poll we put a veteran banner on because that's just ridiculous. >> Too much time. I mean, it's going to take take probably two or three people out of DPW during when they're doing spring work. >> They're really busy. Probably a day to take them up and take them down. So, it's two work days.
>> I I listen Noah and Gary, I I have a feeling they're going to be as I'm sure they're going to be tasteful. They're gonna it's gonna be a nice look and as long as you know Chief Gallow and DPW is okay with their involvement. I mean I mean we have to look for you know look
more into it but you know listen ultimately if Chief Gallow says it's a no-go. Has everybody seen that being here if you show up at a meeting you get an assignment. So umbrella don't we're get you and we haven't given you one yet but don't worry we'll come up with something
>> you're gonna build it. >> So how so so as far as this portion of what we're proposing again not putting a roadblock that never gets that it never moves forward. What do we do? >> My only concern about this I don't think it's fair. Uh Chief Gallow is in the
audience. I I give him time to to consider this. If you think it's not a good idea, >> right? Yeah. We need to find out how many he's talking about. If he's talking about 10 banners, five on each side, >> no.
>> Yeah. If he's talking all of them, we just can't do that. >> Got it. >> You know, so we need to find out more information from Gary about that. >> In principle, yes. But you know >> so once we have that point of clarification then are we talking about the next meeting we should have it and be able to
>> you don't ask that can be an internal thing between myself and and DPW director Gallo uh your uh we really need your approval for for the street and the street fair application >> and that's a
is it a motion? What do you mean? So, there's a resolution 26-063 approving the special event license Sterling Street Fair. I will put a caveat in there that they're not infringing on people's personal property. And I'm going to leave the language out about the banner because
sometimes we put in banner language into this or am I putting language like that into this resolution? >> Well, he was told that he can't put a banner across the street. So, that's that's >> and so everybody's aware that's because of JCP. I mean that's not that wasn't a decision that we made.
>> Correct. >> That is that is J JCPNL's rules. Um and uh last year they decided to start enforcement. >> So u resolution >> 26-064
because we didn't do >> I know but we didn't do a resolution for Frank so it's 63. That's okay. My bad. >> So 63 063 approving special event license sterling should be fair with the amendment uh not to infringe on private property.
>> So moved. Second. >> Committeeman Lavender. Yes. >> Committee. Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Dorsy. Yes. >> Mayor Peria. >> Yes. Item number 10 on your agenda. Agenda old new business. >> Oh, you forgot to announce the beautifification of volunteer force. >> Ah, so Megan, correct my correct me when
I make a mistake and I will. Uh the reason why we're pushing Open space combined committee and and the nominees or not nominees the appointees to that is anybody who would like to serve even if you currently serve on either of the existing boards
that have been uh uh this evening you have to submit a form for the new committee. Does that sound right? So the um chair of the open space advisory committee put forth the names that um
they wanted to beautifification was um instructed that they had to put in uh citizen involvement forms and we received about 80% from the um beautifification. And so if there's anybody additional that's on there, maybe I'll reach out and see if they're
interested just to get a firm yes or no and we can address that at the next meeting. >> Yeah. >> Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. >> Uh do I have announcements? >> Pancake. >> Oh, I thought I did the pancake breakfast.
>> One more time. >> All right. Bring it on. >> I'll see. Hopefully I do it a little better this time. >> A little bit more enthusiasm this time. >> Yes. >> Say that to have blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. >> There you go. That's right. >> I am pleased to announce that the Sterling Fire Company will be hosting
its annual pancake breakfast on Sunday, March 1st, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m. Adults $15. Kids under 12 and seniors are $10. And you're welcome to pay at the door. The menu will have we
will have pancakes, sausage, and eggs, breakfast, potato, toast, juice, coffee, and tea. Be there or be square. We'll see you there. >> There you go. >> So, that's it on announcements. Megan, usually we have something. Okay. >> No blood drives.
>> Item number. >> Item number 12. The meeting is open to the public. Come on down. >> There's a lady behind you. >> Teresa, uh, Main Avenue, Sterling. Um, you delegated a task to Mr. Liberado, but I just wanted to voice an
opinion about the commercial vehicles. I just want to remind everybody that this was filled with a lot of blue collar workers, my father included. And so I just want to be cognizant of people who have trucks and trailers and have had them their whole lives here. Um, and I don't think they should be like unfairly
discriminated against or whatever you want to call it. So please keep that in mind as you start drafting any >> You're getting it back. I know. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thanks. Chuck, I think it's you.
How's Notre Dame's coach doing the basketball coach? >> We can't control him. >> Charles Ranowitz Millington. You recall last meeting we talked about the civil suit filed by >> former public safety director.
>> Oh, >> I had a couple questions on are we covered and oh, we're communicating with the GIF and they're going to get to us soon. So I um issued a couple opas
and I read most of the policies. The addendum is 380 or 338 pages. The regular policy is 45 pages. My conclusion is that uh we're covered up to $2 million. We've got a $20,000
deductible. So then I opened the communication from this committee to GIF on this situation and I got the GIF to respond
use this exact same words in the Oprah. My Oprah request here was denied too big. Interesting question. I don't need an answer tonight to that. But if I issue two Opras and one unit
says, "Here's the response." And the other unit says, "It's kind of vague." What do I do? Think about that. But we don't need to really discuss that. Here's the more important matter. The only communication that GIF had between this town
and them were from November 7th, 2024. It's applicable. Let me tell you what they said in the letter that came here. Please note under the policy there is no
coverage for among other things back pay, front pay, benefits or punitive damages. So the policy doesn't cover all those situations.
in the civil suit. That means it rests on us. Our coverage again is $2 million. We have $20,000 deductible. And I don't know where the communication was that came from this town that
forward the civil suit to Jeff, but there isn't any according to Jeff. and I didn't get a response from the town, so I can't tell you whether you sent it, but Jeff said they didn't get it. I'd like a response on that. >> If I could, I'd like to turn it over to
Jack. I watch legal shows, but not a lawyer. >> Yeah, notice of the claim was submitted to the GIF. >> Shave your hand. >> Notice of the claim was submitted to the GIF. One of the exceptions to Oprah is communications from the town to its insurance carrier.
They responded to my request. >> That's their priority. >> So, did we get did we submit one? >> Yes. >> When was that? >> Shortly after I can't tell you exactly, but shortly after the >> It was December 31st was the filing.
>> They were put on notice of the notice of claim and then when the suit was filed or else they wouldn't have sent us the uh the coverage letter. coverage letter was this letter was November 7th, 2024. That's the only thing they had. >> Yeah, we've got another they've assigned
an attorney, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah, they've assigned an attorney. They're assuming the defense of the case on behalf of the judge. >> Okay, I'll resubmit the oper to to GIF. Um any reaction to the back pay, front
pay, punitive damages because that's going to fall on us the taxpayer. >> But we're not we can't comment on the >> Well, you can comment. You're not We're not You agree we're not covered, right? >> Policy speaks for itself. >> Great. We're not covered. So be very
cautious. We as taxpayers on any settlement that you come up with or dream up with or go to court. We don't we can't afford it. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Anybody else in the court?
>> This is uh with regard to concerns regarding an applicant appealing a use variance denial to the township committee. >> Only the I'm sorry. >> Oh, I'm sorry, Pam. Only the granting of
use variance can be appealed to the town committee. The denial would have to go directly to the court. >> Um, with that being said, it is my hope that concerns for possible litigation by an applicant not influence the
decision made by either the zoning board or the township committee. The quality of life, safety, needs, and the best interest of the residents of Long Hill Township are paramount in the decision to approve
or deny an applicant's request for a use variance, not the fear of litigation. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Any other member of the public in the courtroom?
Seeing none, Megan, anybody at home? If anybody on Zoom would like to make a public comment, please raise your hand now. >> Don't see anyone. Mayor >> Motion. So moved. >> I think it's correct.
>> Yeah. So moved. So moved. >> I >> I thank you. >> Thank you everybody. before.
