Take your time. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Okay, everybody, please stand just for another second. I'd like to just have uh Sorry about that. I'd like to have a moment of silence for Diane Ospina. She was a young lady who lost her life with the storm last week. Thank you very much.
Okay. Roll call, please. Mayor Mlechek, here. Council President Conahan, here. Councilman Korn, present. Councilman Denza, present. Councilman Dino, here. Councilman Dodie here. Councilman Greg, administrator L here,
and Attorney Corsini here. Okay, it's pillars time. And we have a good one tonight. Actually, they're all good. We're very proud tonight. Uh Mike, come on. Give me a hand.
Jim Ben we're not expecting a madness as I need to get your John should be very short and I'll tell you why. No lie but anyway
you can stand right here. You know, we're very proud of this program because we think it recognizes, you know, a lot of people who are basically the pillar and the foundation of what makes Middle Sex the great place that it really is. And although we have some
representatives of the police department here, one of the things that the pillars represent is people that actually volunteer tons of time. And you know, even though you have a short tenure of 42 years with the library, you know, we decided to let you slide
and and and get you in here. Anyway, good. I hope so, too. All right. Whereas the governing body of the Burough Middle Sex recognizes that in order for a community to thrive and succeed, they must rely on the service and support of its residents. Whereas
the wisdom, history, commitment, and passion that so many of our residents exhibit and extend to their neighbors in the burrow make them the pillars of our community. Whereas it is in the spirit that mayor Molachi would like to honor and recognize individuals throughout the community whom have made exceptional
contributions to the burrow of Middle Sex. Whereas James Benton was appointed as a member of the Middle Sex Library Board of Trustees over 42 years ago, of which he has been serving as president of the board for 24 years. And whereas in addition to volunteering many years
on the library board of trustees, James Benson had volunteered his time as a member of the 100th anniversary committee, volunteer of the rescue squad from 1969 to 1973, and member of the community education advisory board from 2020 to 2022. And whereas James Benson
was a vital member of the emergency services unit commanders committee for 15 years, Middle Sex Ethics Board member for four years, and economic development committee for four years, all of which he served as chairman. And whereas James Bence not only served the community
through his activities on various committees and boards, but also spent his time helping shape the future members of the community in conjunction with the recreation center by coaching girls softball from 1992 to 1996. Whereas James Ben has displayed exemplar
service and dedication to the municipality by integrating himself within the burrow as a vital part of the community. And now therefore, John Molyic, mayor of the Burough of Middle Sex, state of New Jersey, along with the Middle Sex Burough Council, and on behalf of all the residents of Middle
Sex, wish to thank James Pass for all his dedication, sacrifice, and labor to our community. Come on, Bailey. All right, you guys have the shots. Don't leave. All right, going anywhere.
Yeah, somehow. Alexander, are you out here? Where? Where'd you go? Oh, there he is. Alexander is the chief of staff for Michelle, Massachusetts. She's our senator. All right. And we talked quite a bit going back and
we talked back and forth. She always likes to recognize people that are doing exemplary things and she actually wanted to be part of the the pillars last time and she wanted to be cuz she didn't make last meeting but she couldn't make this one cuz she's away. But we have a
general assembly citation made out to you. All right. You would be so timeless to read it. So, citation of the general assembly of the state of New Jersey. Commendations and praise are extended to James Benson by the citizenry of the 21st New Jersey
legislative district through their elected representatives for his lifetime of service and unyielding dedication to the burrow of Middle Sex, particularly his more than four decades on the library board of trustees and initial service to the Middle Sex Rescue Squad, ethics board, economic development
committee, and as a softball coach with Middle Sex Recreation. For these and more, he is rightfully being honored as one of the pillars of Middle Sex. Find July 15th, Senator John Graham, Assemblywoman Nancy Munos, and Assemblywoman Michelle M. Congratulations.
All right, that's okay. We actually have another one here and we're just going to do that. Beverly, guess what? Yes, you. We have another general assembly citation. And Alexander, we're going to have one
for all the pillars. Correct. Correct. We're working on backdating them. We're going to be backdating them. So, and I know we have a few pillars members sitting out here, but they're coming. We think it's important that you guys are recognized, you know, from higher levels in here for all the efforts that you
guys made. We're very proud of you. You want to get a picture? All right. Again, the state of New Jersey general assembly citation, commendation, and praise are extended to Beverly B. whoever is citizen citizenry of the 21st New Jersey legislative
district through their elected representatives for a lifetime of service on the yielding dedication to the federal process particular her more than four decades on a library board of trustees as well as worked with the recycling for this and more she is
rightfully being honored as one of the plan signed by John Brown senator Nancy Assembly woman. Thank you. Took me a while to get. Congratulations. I'm going to sit down, please.
Thanks for Mike. It's going to be very short. It's going to be very short because I promised Council President Conan tonight that I would have nothing left to say. Thank you.
Seriously, I really do want to thank the mayor and council for choosing me for this particular award. I know there are many deserving candidates in the past who have received the award and many deserving candidates still to come who received the award and really proud to
be included among all of them. I want to congratulate the previous recipients. I know so many of them and have worked so closely with them on various projects over the years. I'm honored to be included with them, especially Beverly Weber from our
library. Beverly and I have shared positions on the board for over 40 years now. It seems when I wasn't president, she was. When she was, I was not. Thanks to Beverly, we've got the beautiful addition to our library, her hard
workers. We've even dedicated her at the library because of all the tremendous work she's done. So, thank you again. It's been a pleasure to work with you all these years. Thank you very much. and they do all
these years. I also want to thank my family for all their support over the years, my wife and my daughter. It's uh it's not an understatement to say that you can't do all this without their support and they've been there all along the way and they put up with some of my absences
cheerfully, sometimes not so cheerfully, but they're always there and I really do appreciate their support. You hear me? I want to especially commend the mayor and council for creating this. I have worked with hundreds of volunteers over the years at the state, county, local level.
And I was constantly impressed at how dedicated they all are just doing a good job genuinely helping our community or whatever the particular organization they volunteer for. They didn't do it for personal gain. They just wanted to help and to that to that they were
commended and it was a real pleasure working. I thoroughly enjoyed all my efforts as a volunteer whatever area it was in. Had a lot of fun doing these things. that spread out over 50 years.
It's really not a lot. It seems like a lot might spread it, but when you spread that over 50 years, it's true all that recognized for it. But they seemingly actually gotten more out of it than I've
given, which is important to me because everybody thinks when you're a volunteer, you give them your time, you give them your work. If you give of your expertise, but the truth is you get more out of it than you give. If that benefited the town and the
people in town, I'm happy about that. I'm also happy that I got out of it. I would like to comment on three of the things that I've been involved with a little bit more. first and because it's
very personal to me and very fulfilling was my work as an assistant softball coach. I was not the coach and Bill Cole was that. Bill did a great job. I was glad he was the guy who had to make all the final decisions. But my
daughter was on that team and that made it especially fun and we went through the various stages, the younger girls and then the older girls. And I particularly love softball and we've involved in softball since my early 20s.
And it was really thrilling for me to have my daughter be so involved in. I remember standing on our front line teaching how to throw and teaching how to catch which is not as easy as throwing, teaching how to do that. Remember we
used to whipple ball whipple pass and she hit became quite a good hitter hitting many balls. I don't have a harass. I look fondly back I look back fondly on many hours we spent together teaching her and becoming her coach,
assistant coach and just the practices. I don't know if she appreciated the practices or enjoyed them as much as I did. I always enjoyed the practices. My wife and I attending the games spring nights and then very hot weather
in the summer. But it's again it's more reward to me than it's been to the community. Rescue Squad is an interesting story. I'll just comment briefly on it. I was about 20 years old when I decided to join the rescue squad. The circumstances
that led up to that are more involved going to I saw the sign out front building that they needed volunteers. I said I could volunteer to that. So you go on a rescue squad as a 20-year-old and you're not very mature as most 20 year olds are not and you don't
certainly don't have much experience life and death catastrophic incidents life-threatening incidents but then most adults. So I learned very quickly how to deal with all that and fortunately had tremendous people on nursing squad at
that time. I'm sure they still are. And just did an outstanding job. They're so professional in the way they conducted themselves when they're on calls. Don't get me wrong, we had a lot of a lot of fun down at the rescue squad building when we weren't answering calls. It was a great community. Those days was all
men on squad and it was a great community. A lot of lot of good times, jokes and fun. But we went on a call with all business and they set a great example for me and it was through the rescue squad going on calls that
became interested in the police department. I never had any interest in being a police officer. I wasn't one of these kids that grew up wanting to be a police officer. I was in college at the time studying finance and I thought my career would be somewhere in the field of finance. Being on the rescue squad
and seeing the police officers job day in and day out at that time I'd still be the same. On every squad call, the police went first. They were there before us. So they were dealing with the worst of what occurred and then we would roll up and we would take it from there.
I believe that. But just seeing what they did every day interest in becoming a police officer and that's what I did. Was upon the police department took the test got hired and the rest is history as they say. But that was a extremely u
profound impact on my life being on the rescue squad and I don't regret a minute of it. In fact, there was another fellow from the police department was on it and we both loved it. But we had to give it up after a couple years because the state was implementing so many regulations
that squad members training that they had to pass that we just couldn't do that and keep our jobs. So aggressively we gave up the experience was worth a million dollars.
the library board that's a baby in mine early 1980s 1980 itself get exactly that I went to the then mayor mayor doies I was a sergeant on the park and I was enjoying being a sergeant but I wanted to do a little more so I asked him do
you have any boards or committees in town they could use somebody on so he says let me look see I'll go back to so they got they got back in touch with could use you on the library That sounds exciting. [Applause]
They are deal. But to my surprise, I got on the library and people at that time fortunately probably all deceased by now. They were just fantastic people and they really had the best interest of the town of mine, the best interest of the library
and we joke the Asian business and I made a lot of good friends from state friends with all of them. We are fortunate to have a board now that is just totally dedicated to the well-being of town and library. I see
our director shaking her head and her and I have had many conversations about this. That's not to be taken for granted. There's many towns where library board and mayor council and director are knocking heads all the
time. Nobody's happy with the outcome. We don't have that situation. We have a very supportive mayor and counsel. We have a board that is just great and our board members are great love working together. And we have a terrific director and staff. You know,
our staff is second to none. The director has done a great job hiring really good people who really want to come to work every day, really want to work hard, really want to make the library invest. So that's
one of the things many things that I enjoyed about being and as I commented 42 years now I'd like to stay for 50 we'll see how that works out both my own personal health and we'll see who the mayor is seven or eight years from now
hopefully he or she will be appointed to the board and finally in closing there's one more group I want to acknowledge and thank for all the wonderful things that they do and that's our federal employees they are not pillars of the community. They
are the foundation of our community. Pillars of rest. We couldn't get anything done as volunteers but may counsel or any other aspect of the job without the work that our employees did. And I'm extremely grateful for all the cooperation they gave me over the years
back when I was just a regular police officer as chief of police and as a retired chief. There's things that just go by week after week, day after day that without their help, we would just spin our wheels. So my thanks to them and that's
it. But to all the volunteers, I see so many of you out there already, some would have not received a word and certainly award and certainly are deserving of it. But day in and day out, do your job as a volunteer for no
recognition. And that's okay. And if you don't get involved as a volunteer for recognition, it's not something all the people I've worked with. None of them were looking for recognition. All they want to do is do good. And something like this encourage
to man like this. It's really good. It gives you a good sense that not only was what he did appreciate, but it didn't go to waste. did all that for years and years, contributed maybe a little bit here, a
lot here. Everybody's individual. I appreciate working with them, getting to know them. I've made so many great friends over the last 50 plus years. I I can't even begin to count all these volunteers, federal workers,
man council, cast members, and current members. It's just been a great ride. I really do appreciate it. And lastly, push your best. I want to thank everyone for coming tonight. It's really nice to
see such a nice turn. I see so many friends here, fellow volunteers, but I see friends here that no idea they're coming. It's a real pleasure to look at the audience, see you all, see some people that did not
expect to come. Thank you. I'm I'm glad it wasn't last night. I did go down to last night, but it was a challenge. So, it worked out fine. So, thank you all for coming. Thank you again.
Hey guys, we're going to take a quick break for a couple of minutes. I know some of you guys are going to slip out, but I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize a couple of quick people. I'd like to recognize the DPW, our OEM, and our representatives from the police. I know the chiefs back there. You guys did a
fabulous job over the last couple of weeks. Can't thank you enough. All right, five minutes. The what is it? The uh privilege of the floor. That's my exclusive. Exactly. All right, guys. We're going to kick
this back into gear. All right. Um Jim Benson, welld deserved, by the way. I think it was very nice. It was nice that uh that Michelle Masakudis, who I have to say her department has called non-stop for like the last week to make sure we have the things we need and
we're making progress and it's nice to hear that cuz we never got calls from anybody and especially um you know they with the fact that as bad as we had it, North Planefield got it a lot worse and Denellan Denellan too. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. So, moving on. Ordinance for introduction. Ordinance 215425, bond ordinance providing various capital improvements and the acquisition of various capital equipment appropriating 2,592,500. Therefore, and authorizing the issuance
of 1,980,000 bonds and notes to finance a portion of the cost thereof authorized in and by the bureau of Middle Sex in the county of Middle Sex, New Jersey. I like a motion. Motion second. All right. Any discussion on this? I know
just want to part of the uh capital budget was for paving roads. Yes. And one of the roads on there that we specified was South Avenue. And I would like to uh at least reconsider that u some of the local
streets in town that are bunchs that actually help the homeowners that live there instead of the guys who are going to be speeding down South Avenue doing 50 miles. We could certainly have a discussion on it. That's for sure. This is only the introduction, so we got time.
Okay. All right. Good. Anyone else? Okay. Roll call, please. Council President Conahan, yes. Councilman K, yes. Councilman Desenza, yes. Councilman Dino, yes. Councilman Dodie, yes. Councilman Greg, yes.
Okay, very good. Uh, adoption of minutes. Approval of the June 17th, 2025 regular meeting minutes. Motion. Second. All in favor? I. Okay. Next. Approval of the June 23rd, 2025 special
meeting minutes. I need a motion. Second. All right. Any discussion? All in favor? I. Okay, let's move on to uh the mayor's report. I got a few things here. Um we did the
moment of silence. We talked about the trees and the flooding. Thank you guys. I do appreciate it that they've been uh Lenny, you look a little whooped up. You got a lot more to go, unfortunately. So, all right. Um, one of the things I do need is that National Night Out is on
August 19th, which just so happens to be our next council meeting. What I'd like to do, being that the National Night Out starts at 6:00, is push back the U council meeting to 7:30 and I would need
a consensus to do that. I'm good. We're good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. All right. There you go. Thank you. All right. Um, Hometown Heroes. If you guys came to the the ceremony, it was very nice. Um, uh,
Inside Middle Sex was there. He put out a nice little article on it. Thank you, Dave. I appreciate it. Uh, I thought it was, as usual, was well written and as a lot of facts. We like that. All right. Um, and I'd like to congratulate the rec department and a lot of the people that
were got involved. Lenny, you were there. Bobby and the rest of the committee getting these things up and out. It was It was a good day. All right. I have a proclamation that I'm going to read here. All right. Because it's
actually going to be given out in a couple of days, but this is a proclamation for Linda Chismar, who you may notice is not here tonight, but she's uh she's retiring. Whereas Linda Chismar has been employed with the Burough of Middle Sex since 1997
when she began her career in the assessor's office on April 22nd, 1997 where shortly thereafter in January of 1998, she made the move to the clerk's department. And whereas in 1999, Linda was promoted to deputy clerk where she
dedicated over 20 years of outstanding service to the burough and its residents. And whereas never one to stand idly by when a job needs to be done, Linda has served the shade tree commission sec as shade tree commission secretary since her appointment on April
8th on January 8th, 2009 where she helped numerous commission members through their terms helping the burrow keep its status as tree city. And whereas Linda has also attained her registar certificate in 2011 when Middle
Sex Bureau changed health departments and was later appointed registar on March 1st 2019. Whereas Linda was recognized for her numerous years of hard work and dedicated service in the clerk's office when she was appointed as municipal
clerk on May 26, 2020. And whereas remarkably, Linda has worked for seven mayors during her tenure in the clerk's office. Mayor Doy's, Mayor D'Angelo, Mayor Ferman, Mayor Sher, Mayor Demura, Mayor Madden, and Mayor Michichek. She
liked me the best, by the way. And whereas And whereas Linda has dutifully and enthusiastically served Middle Sex as burrow clerk efficiently, effectively, and fairly while providing the highest quality of service to the citizens of
Middle Sex Burrow for 5 years now. Therefore, I John Melichek, mayor of the Burough of Middle Sex, state of New Jersey, along with the Middle Sex Burough Council, on behalf of the citizens of citizens of Middle Sex, wish to recognize Linda Chismar for her service to our burrow and to the
citizens of Middle Sex Bureau, and hereby set my hand and seal on the burrow of Middle Sex to be affixed on this 15th day of July, 2025. Linda, we're going to miss you. Okay.
All right, moving down the list. Believe it or not, today we were going to be doing sampling of water at Ambrose Book Brook and Victor Cra. We wisely or actually Lenny was proactive and pushing this back
because this would not be a report that's worth the paper that it would be written on. So, um I don't know if you have another date yet. I do. Yeah. When's it coming? Uh the 19th July 29th, the 30th.
Not the 29th, the 30th. Okay. All right. I do have one other thing here is that uh and I see the chief is here. The chief took the bull by the horns a little bit and he actually addressed a meeting with the owners of Hika. All
right. Now, he addressed it in terms of public complaints, public concerns, and noise. and he had a very good meeting with them and he came out and he actually has a plan and basically he has
he has the wheels in motion coordinating with the construction department, the police department, the DPW for them to move forward on their noise abatement plan which they're going to
have to go through the J love. as a whole. But it's it's off ground zero, which is good. Instead of them going back and forth, we're waiting on you, we're waiting on this. It's right now it's it's with them. They know exactly what they have to do to um to move that
this project forward for our betterment. Um Chief, anything you want to add? Just that it was a productive meeting. Uh the wheels are in motion. A lot of clients already reached out and told the game plan what they need to do to file an official application and uh some some
progress. Thank you. I appreciate you you working with Michael and the rest of the guys on this to take the lead. Thank you. All right. The last thing that I have here is that you will notice on the agenda you will see that there's an executive
session item called contract negotiations school board class 3es blah blah blah. This is a little bit of a catchall, shared services catchall for us cuz we've been going back and forth with the superintendent. Um we were recently received a letter regarding
some trees that fell down behind the soccer fields uh which came as of last week's storm. We do have a number of outstanding of outstanding issues which I would like to have a formal re reply
to her but you know the best way to do it because it does does cover a number of subjects is to have it in an executive session so I can have the consensus of the council and we can have a proper response to her and that's why
it's there and that is all I All right, thank you, Mayor. Uh, I wanted to thank also uh Councilman Cino for the Hometown Heroes, and I know a lot of people are involved, Lenny and and Melissa. Um, but
I know I think most of us know up here, if not all of us, that Bobby's been wanting to do this probably since day one when we got sworn in. That was something that he wanted to do. So, he saw it through. I think they came out uh tremendous. I was away last week. I
haven't seen him, but I saw some great picks. So, again, thank you, Bobby, Lenny, Melissa. Um, and I know you're going to put them up when I think in a week or two. Uh, but but thanks again. Uh, I wanted to congrat congratulate Jim Benson. I know he's gone 42 years. Um, the 24 as
president, I think, is uh is a another big accomplishment. I've been the library liaison for the last year and a half and uh he does a wonderful wonderful job. I've been on a lot of different boards and committees over the last 18 19 20 years. He's really he runs
a tight shift for the library board and um it's it's very impressive. They meet once a month. I know there's some members here now. Um it's it's you know fun it's a fun good meeting to watch. I want to thank I know the mayor did this already, all the first responders for uh
that assisted many of our residents that are flooded out last night, today into tomorrow. It's still going on and on. Um but but that includes everybody. I don't want to go through the list, but um obviously there's a bunch here tonight. So, thank you. Um I know Carolyn left. I
wanted to thank her. She did a great job in in facilitating our capital budget. It was introduced um and executed that capital budget. She spent months and months on it, probably three months, uh, working closely with Michael, uh, all the department heads. So, uh, it came
out lower than we wanted to, and it was only those necessary items. Um, also many, if not all, the high school boys baseball state championship, it's our seventh in state history. Uh, they'll be attending our next council meeting uh, on August 19th for some
special recognition per the mayor. Uh, so that'll be good. I know we're going to start later now at 7:30. So, I think most of the kids will be here, if not all the kids and their parents um and extended family. So, that'll be nice. Uh thank you to our joint land use board for approving and
endorsing the New Jersey uh housing element and fair share plan. Um yep, finally we got it done in the nick of time. I know uh John, you're obviously a member of the land board and so thank you guys for getting that done. Uh we had until June 30th. they got it in in
time. Um, lastly, uh, this is it for me. I'd like to get to consensus tonight so I can authorize Chris to amend our 2022 master plan re-examination report via ordinance
um to reduce the previously included apartment sizes. So back in 22, three years ago, uh we expanded all the apartment sizes and basically made redevelopment utterly impossible in Middle Sex. Um that now has to be done
uh through the governing body. We also got a letter from the land use board uh just a couple weeks back recommending the sizes. They actually uh spoke about it. You guys took time at meetings. I think it was unanimous.
Yeah. for for the vote. So, those recommendations are here. I'm going to give those to Chris. Uh if you guys agree, those apartment sizes will be reduced um to what they recommended. And this is only for Lincoln Boulevard, strictly the redevelopment zone,
good. Yep. Good. You guys good? All right. We good? Okay. All right. Chris, certainly good to go. Yep. Uh that's all I have there. Okay. Council cars. Thank you, Mayor. For um uh senior and
disabled uh uh July and August me, senior messengers still out. Um you notice the price increase is going up. So if you love Zumba, chair yoga, mindful fitness, and line dancing, the resident prices are going to be $6, $7 for non-residents. Um
thank you for your participation and support and keep going to those classes. Um the farmers market's coming up. Nope, I lied. the past. I'm wrong. The um Ambus Farmer Farm heading and see when lunch is coming up July 24th at 10:30.
Uh you can get to go to Asbury Park. There's a bunch of cool stuff out here. So go look at the calendar, see if you're able to attend some of this stuff. It's amazing. Um for the like the mayor mentioned, the board of ed is let me go back up here. Thank you for
sharing the emails, mayor. I don't know if I would hear anything from my counterparts on the board of that. It's the most communication I I have been getting is from you in the forward email. So, thank you for that. Um hopefully that will change in the future. Um for the film commission, if you check out this beautiful sheet that
I that I left in front of you real fast, I'm going to be asking for a consensus to put this on the agenda to update our our um committees. The mayor sent me a um get New Jersey ready for for our community. I traveled down to Pittstown.
Um, due to the state not or whoever's in charge of that updating on the phone, it wasn't told that it was canceled. So, I drove drove all the way down there. It was canceled. Came back up. But the perk is is I see there's five steps for us to be New Jersey film writing. Five steps. Um, this is one of them. Um, also
through our recent journey of the film commission and finding people to help, um, I decided that it would be better to, and this is where I would love your input, everyone's input, but we should put a seven member. This is what the proposed says for a seven member um,
commission. The mayor will be one of them or the administrator, uh, the council liaison, the chief of police for public safety, um, and four residents with three serving regular and one alternative. Therefore, the communication, as we know, filming is booming here. They only recommend one,
but I think this will pretty much stop all miscommunication from happening and we'll be able to do everything moving forward. Um, as long as Mr. Pier is cool with everything, whatever he recommends in changing the language of this, that's perfect. But the other issue I saw is
the issuance of a license or a permit. We have it in the section two under film commission as a clerk would um offer issued license but we also say when they go through approval that the um commission would issue that permit. So we need to figure out like that as well. That language needs to get addressed but
that is it um for the film commission. Excuse me one second. I'm just reading this this real quick. But what's the difference between the first part and the second part? Because the first part says it's a three member commission with
one uh like resident and the other one says it's you know seven members. Is that a typo? No, the we're getting rid of the three member cuz the current So the top part this this goes away. Yeah, that is the current code that is in place. That is the current writing.
Oh, so this all right. I didn't read it that way. Okay, I got it. Thank you. Yes, sir. So that is that is for that. Um yeah department it's fine for the art the culture and arts um
they're working on a space fest the chairman Shaw is working and getting that ready for the October is it for this year sir space fest or next year the space March or April March or April coming up next year where it's going to be amazing um doing great stuff with
that and also a Halloween project coming up home decoration for the beautifification committee. One of the members is going to be working on on that and for the hometown banners. I really wanted to make it, but I had a very unruly 5-year-old that I wasn't going to bring anywhere with the way he
was behaving. And it was absolutely gorgeous event. Thank you for everybody doing that. And it's like it's to my understanding it's going to come to the culture and arts if that's how it works. Whatever works, however it maintained, it doesn't matter to me. It's what we all want as a community. So, as long as
that's handled, that's a beautiful, absolutely beautiful process. Um, so I did a consensus. Oh, and also for the film, the other part we're missing from the film commission is um location input. So, what I would like to do
instead of us going out to every business and everything, I would like to form a input take page on the film on our already existing website, I would like to add an intake form. So if uh whoever is interested in having their business or facilities filmed or being
interested in that, they can submit their location of what they would like to have filmed. They can submit the photos and it's pretty much like a catalog. So when the film people who come and say, "Hey, hey, hey, what does Milsack have to offer? We are now going to have something beautiful to open up and say, look here, people who want to
film, you can come film here or look at Joe's handwriting." It is like so it's like don't matter whether it's a grocery store or car whatever the event is. So if you guys if this is really up to the community if you think there's a good site that would be beautiful for filming
for some type of movie it's up to all of us to like put this information in. But if we have this anchored into our website um we can get it submitted and we can get our catalog of Middle Sex in New Jersey film ready. Is there any
I like it. I'm here. So, we can get that put put on the website so I'll work with uh Frank. Yeah, that's fine. There he is. He's back there hiding. He's hiding back there. Hiding back there. You're a little far back there. But that is um
I just my AD just want to talk about Are you done? Yeah, I'm done. There you go. That's good. All right, Joe. Yes. Um the recreation committee meeting was cancelled last night due to uh a
little bit of rain, but they have a couple of things coming up. Um movie in the park airbug will be uh shown on August the 7th.
Happy campers sessions are full. Summer playground is moving along. We have 90 registered trip to Turtleback Zoo in Sunset Lake Beach Club is scheduled and uh they're getting there.
Cool. We're happy to announce that the U mural program is moving forward. Thank you to very generous donations from the Bridgewater Home Depot. Uh they're
donating about 23 gallons of uh paint. Uh we hope to pick it up today, but I guess with the weather last night, they were very short staffed and could not do the color matching and all they had to do. So hopefully tomorrow we'll be
picking it up. Um the pool is open and doing well. Membership is close to last year. They're within 20 uh of last year's membership. uh considering the cold start they had uh maybe it'll be picking up now that we have the hot
weather coming in might pick up few more memberships. I want to give a special thanks to my best buddy Mr. Frank Ryan for introducing me to uh the manager of the Home Depot to get the donation. So Frank
was very uh very helpful in doing that and uh that's all I have. All right. Thanks, Bobby. Uh, first off, I want to mention, uh, one of the guys that I worked with for many years on the DPW passed away, I guess it was a week ago, week and a half
ago, Bob Eckles. Um, had a lot of Bumble Bob and we will be shortly missed. Um, a lot of the stuff that I was going to bring up tonight was already spoken for. That's fine. Um, July 3rd, Storm Public Works had cut up and removed trees from 13 roads, roads and park spent two weeks
cleaning up branches and trees within the barrel. The main thing is a lot of the shade trees were damaged and that's an issue that we have to take care of without waiting for a shade tree to go look at these trees. They're uh they're important and they're they're hazardous. So, we're going to move forward with that. There's money in the shade tree.
I'm going to use it to take care of these streets. So, um this morning I was with Lenny uh for four hours. I only worked a half a day today with him. He let me leave at 10. should but I want to really actually thank the
chief also because his reports that kept us active and where we were last night was really helpful. I mean it kept me involved with it. So like derive many roads south a ship red 28 cap lane all the number streets first through seven Cindy Lee South Lincoln Warrenville
finaness uh Lenny made a decision today to cancel garbage until Friday because we don't know what tomorrow's a lot of people ask why not tomorrow but we don't know what tomorrow's going to bring there's still flooding and it's better Friday use this guys tomorrow to do what needs to be done
spoke at the hometown heroes it was great uh about 50 people showed up The batteries came out amazing. I mean, on paper when we looked on the computer when we were doing this, I don't know, but I love them. They're perfect. Um, like he said, he was supposed to
have them today, but we're going to wait till next week because this week is crazy. Um, about the recycle cart, uh, bins, carts, whatever you want to call them. A lot of multifamilies didn't get all their powers. So, we kept the list. We have the list and within the next
week or so, they'll be here prior to our first pick. Another issue we had was some of the disabled vets because we had the list from the tax office. Some of the 100% disabled, they weren't on the list. So the guys didn't deliver cans there. We figured that out and they have a list also. They will also be
delivered. So that's all on track. Um for the environmental green team just needs one more priority action by July 31st to be certified as a substantial New Jersey. We need to get that done. lady's working on a sticker which that
will put us over I think. Um the environmental commission is also asking to be added to the emergency contact list for any environmental issues in town. I don't know whether that goes through OEM police, fire or the county, but they would like to be on that list. Chief, I don't know who I'll
go through. I don't know. Ask your opinion. I can talk to you later about it. Um some of the members like to be pardoned. Yeah. Okay. It would usually be by statute, isn't it? And be a requirement of the town to
be included on someone's emergency contingency plan because that's usually what what makes the calls. I mean, because it's usually not you making the call or or or Lenny. It's usually the business would would have to go down the the list.
We have our own emergency, but not just for everything. It's an environmental issue. Not not just for like storm damage, right? But we'll talk about we have a emergency usually like PP as and then they make modifications from
there. So maybe it's already being done or maybe to sharpen. Yeah, no problem. Okay. What else? Uh the commission had a workshop on June 21st where they made rain barrels. 10 barrels were made for residents. Um they
have a program on October 4th at 2 p.m. for invasive species. Um we would like the mayor and council maybe some of us to get involved because the attendance is low on these things and so the more we have the more we can keep offer
as far as Jayla might mention the square footage of the other ones. They also on June 18th we adopted the fourth round affordable housing obligation which was prepared by planner Paul Ricky. This plan is up for approval by resolution tonight. So that's it. The July 9th
meeting was also cancelled. Next meeting is August 13th. We'll have three locations. Quick question there, Bobby and Whiting. When are when are we starting recycling with the big Do we have a date yet? With the new barrels. Okay. August. So what happens is the 31st happens to
be a Thursday. So they'll use the old containers and then Friday people will use the new containers. In order to change it, I think it's just going to be a nightmare. So, okay. Just going to deal with it. We'll see what that first week. You're going to put that on the pearl website.
It's all It had them all on the first pick. Okay. On the website already handed out on the website. I've been sharing it on Facebook as well. Says your first pick up in August. Okay. Hey, Bobby for for the environmental commission. You know, they were talking
about the invasive species thing. I know that Lenny's looking in August to do some uh bamboo removal. It might not be a bad idea for you guys, the environmental guys to go down there and see or or have a little program around that because that's a good example of
what happens if you let this stuff go unchecked. Just I'm just throwing it out there. You might want to coordinate it. But I mean, if you're looking for a visual aid, it doesn't get much more visual than that mess. Yeah. Just let Bobby know. I speak. Yeah. I'm usually with the month either Monday or Tuesday. It's
been a few hours, but I'm still We'll work it out. That's all I got. That's it. Yeah. Mr. Dodie. Yes, sir. I have the uh fire report for last month, June. Uh 45 calls for them.
There was uh four motor vehicle accidents with no injuries, four with there was one mulch fire and there was one building fire. The chief sent over a couple of highlights. Uh June 1st, some of the
Middle Sex Located at 545 Boundwork Road. They had a carbon monoxide sounding. The police department arrived. They went through and detected over 100 parts per million carbonoxide. PS injuries was requested to the scene to
assist. Uh they wound up find this finding a stove on the first floor that was leaking and it was secured and they airrated the place and everything is fine and PS&G recommended and made the
necessary repairs. Uh there was on the 12th of June there was multiple 911 callers report a structure fire at 700 Mountain Avenue after hearing an explosion. While responding to the scene, Deputy Chief Shawn Young requested a second
alarm be dispatched due to the very large column of black smoke visible from the Gator/ Delaware Avenue. He arrived and confirmed fire in a 2 and 1/2 story single family home and established the
command. Um they did multiple inch and 3/4 hand lines replaced in service to knock down a heavy volume exterior fire in the rear of the building. Interior fire located on all floors and cool down the exposure
building to the rear of the home. The fire is placed under control at 2:15 in the morning. They remained there till 7 to ensure that there was no hot spots. They also responded on June 12th at 6:30
in the evening. Uh they went over to Piscatoy Township and covered for them for just under two hours because they were on another call. So there's mutual aid that we have with Piscatawi also locally is very good also. So that's
good for us. Um 24th attendant at 494 Harris Avenue reported there was an active fire in her oven. They arrived, there was a fire in it, the natural gas and power were secured to the oven and the home was ventilated. So, it was put
out because they left it closed. They put it out and everything is fine. On June 16th, this is a big one and I know I got caught in this traffic. They escorted the high school baseball team into town
and I got caught out on Route 28 and it was a parade and a half. So that's the fire report. I also have the court report for last month. Uh 334 tickets. This was a 16% increase
from last month. We are at the halfyear mark which in comparison is a 38% decrease from last year's tickets issued at this time. It says there's 17 parking violations, 317 moving violations, and
20 DVUIs. Summer is kicking in. Uh, five criminal complaints there. Uh, there was four court sessions, one in person, three virtual, 284 defendants, 320 cases deposed
this month. Uh, nine DWI deposed. Total monies collected were $31,130.87 and a burrow's portion is $14,329. And I would have had the police report, but they changed some some approval process and it got hung up. I saw those
emails. So, I just got that today, I believe. So, that'll be next meeting. Unfortunately, I have one more thing. You sent over the rescue squad to me to have a conversation because I know they contacted you, mayor. They are
considering some type of a hybrid mechanism where they're going to pay some people to get the coverage because the the leadership over there is feeling, you know, they they understand they're not covering like they should.
So they're they're going to do what the the towns around us are doing and do a hybrid where they pay EMS people if they have to and they're exploring it. It's like just it was just a conversation and that's what it was about. And personally I think it's a great thing.
Are they going to start doing soft billing? I imagine potentially. Yes. It's it's just in the talk stages early on. Yes. So they got to figure out what they want to do and what they can afford naturally also because you know he
inquired about us and I said there's no way you're getting it past Caroline or the administrator us paying for stuff right now cuz it's been really rough. So, you know, in the I said in the future, you never know if we fall in the money somehow, which I doubt very much
cuz nobody's throwing it our way, but they're they're trying to do something to get their percentages up because we had a conversation about that and he was right on the head where it's at. What I think it is, and I'm sure you can confirm it if I asked you,
they would like it where when it's called, a Middle Sex Rescue Squad rig pulls up. That's what they're trying to do. Well, you were the right I figure you were the right way to get it get it going. So, we're we're actually having a conversation which is good. Something that
has old leadership hasn't even thought about doing. I know Bound Brook does it. You know, there's other towns doing that just so they have coverage for their their, you know, their town. So, hopefully it works out to something good. Okay. So, I figured I'd give you an update. That's all I have.
All right, Mr. Greg. Yeah. Uh again, the the hometown heroes banners. Uh everything I've seen and heard positive. So, great job, Bobby, and everyone else as well. Appreciate the hard work on that. The
Shady Tree Commission update. Uh you know, I've had a few people that have requested to have trees looked at and referred them to the commission. They've gotten out and looked at things, so they seem to be on the ball. That's a good thing. maybe the second uh Thursday of
the month at 7:00 in the morning if anybody's interested in attending their meetings. Uh board of health update. Uh I usually don't get complaints, but the last couple weeks I've heard a couple complaints about businesses in town and I referred them to Bob and actually
Steve member and uh they they've gotten the places checked out to see what was going on and stuff and give me updates. So I I was happy to hear that they're actually, you know, handling that and getting things followed up on. They meet on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30 in the community room at the
library, which is actually this Thursday. Um, for anybody's interested in attending uh less than half is a update from the construction office, a halfyear update. They have uh had new permits this year at 296
updates, 44 and five new buildings, seven additions. Uh 317 of them were alterations and five were demolitions. The total fees collected for the year so far, $149,74. And that it.
That's it. All right. Thank you. All right. administrator place. Thank you, Mayor. Um, good evening everyone. Uh, I want to personally thank BPW, the police department, fire, OEM,
and recreation for all their efforts to assist residents impacted by storm conditions and damage over the past two weeks. I am really proud of the entire Middle Sex Pro team. The consultant for the Victor Crow Park master plan is working to incorporate comments received
at the spring public session into the evolving concept plan. Staff will be meeting with the consultant this summer to work on that plan and to prepare it for public presentations and discussions after Labor Day. We are also working with our consultant to prepare a
preliminary assessment report which is a requirement for the $76,000 green dangerous grant that was awarded to the bureau for Victor Proud Park. New Jersey Department of Transportation I'm sorry New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has granted
Middle Sex an extension of time reporting. We had to request some additional time to work on the report. Uh work is well underway as you probably all know on the improvements to Mountain View Park, including a new restroom facility and new and updated playground
equipment. Public works has also been very busy with annual summer cleanup and maintenance projects involving every park and recreational location in Middle Sex. Speaking of parks and activities, there is a lot going on with recreation and senior services. For seniors, we're
hosting a karaoke ice cream social on Thursday, July 17th at 1:30 p.m. And the new metal sex ukulele class has sparked quite a bit of interest. Some are learning, some of those ukulele players are learning for the first time, and some have their own instruments. They
are hoping to be ready to perform for the toddler play group by the end of the fall. That should be fun to see. As for recreation, summer sessions of yoga and line dancing have started. Please check our website for the schedule and walk-ins are always welcome. We're also
excited to share that both the summer playground and the happy campers are off to a fantastic start. A lot of enthusiastic feedback has been coming in from parents. Soccer registration is also open now and um recreational will take live registrations in person
registrations for soccer at our movie on the park which was already mentioned um which will take place on August 7th. uh candidate interviews for the full-time zoning and code enforcement director position have been completed. The interview committee will report its findings this evening to the full
council and executive session. Uh chief financial officer Benson and I met yesterday with fire department and fire equipment representatives to discuss financing strategy for a new fire truck which is part of the 2025 capital plan. Uh resolutions this evening include
authorization to submit a grant application to the New Jersey Department of Transportation for improvements for Mountain Avenue, Malbury Lane, and Cedar Avenue. Endorsement of the housing car share plan adopted by the Middle Sex Joint Venus Board. Approval of the
memorandum of agreement reached with USW local 255, which is the DPW employee contract. um and approval for hiring in the police department, public works, and in the clerk's office. There is no agenda workshop this evening. In an
executive session, the council will be discussing litigation involving American water, contract negotiations with the school board regarding class 3 officers, and a personal matter, which is the recruitment of the full-time code force contractor. That's my report.
Okay. Thank you. All right. I'd like a motion to open up for the privilege of the floor. Motion second. All in favor? I. Okay. Anyone wishing to speak, come on up. John, I don't want to hear about your
ukulele set. No tiny Tim. Look at him now. He's going up. John 39 road. Yeah, you need him on that one. 20 years, John. And uh I want to acknowledge in honor of of Chief Benson.
It was so welld deserved and it was such a heartfelt speech. Uh last night I got to tell you uh I'm I am on the I am responding site. I was stunned by the number of water rescues. Um and thank
God uh there weren't any fatalities but the storm was so bad even we got a little bit water for the first time in our basement. I want to thank all the first responders, police, OEM, fire, um, for the depleted staff that the fire department has. I don't know how the
heck they got all these calls and it's just astounding. So, uh, and I thank the council uh, for the uh, the issues about the master plan cuz we needed that affordable housing. We were sweating that thing out and uh, we got that
passed. So, we coordinated uh, with you guys. Uh, so I'm pleased about that. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, John. Hey, 240 Haswood. Um, just have one question about uh Mr. Do I mentioned about rescue squad? Um, now with the EMS
when they don't have coverage, they're looking at ways that they're going to pay the EMS. Yes. And how is that? I have no idea. I know. I think if I'm not mistaken, Bound Brook charges for a ride. You know, it's a it's a cut rate.
Would it, you know, so the resident would would pay Yeah. instead of paying uh Robert Wood Johnson or you know, whomever. And it's what it's $14,500 to get an ambulance. I think uh from what I heard and chief you may know a little
better. Bound Brook does I think it's a $1,000 for a ride or something but it's it's less than what the hospitals are charging and it helps keep them afloat I believe. Oh so so basically the rescue squad will sort of subsidize it but the residents bill some Yes. They typically bill
insurance. Yeah they whatever the insurance company usually pays is I think what they Yeah. They they need they they need to do something because they we don't have the coverage and they're like the residents expect us to show up, you know, we're here, right? Well, I was just kind of
surprised that the mentioned about they were looking into EMS. Um because I know my mother 15 years ago had a full we call 911 and they brought EMS in. This is 15 years ago. It's like $600 for an ambulance 500 ambulance. So I can imagine what it must cost now.
Yeah. But they're basically they're looking to get enough generate enough money to subsidize even less than you know it could be a per dam rates you know where they come in part time it's early days I mean that that thing just came in literally two days ago and I just had
the conversation last night when it was pouring on the way home with the gentleman like I said it was $600 now. Yeah. But I I I believe what they're trying to do is mirror like what other towns are doing and not grab the full
amount, but they got to they got to do something to support themselves. Okay. All right. Thanks very much. Anybody else? Last chance. All right. Motion to close. Motion. Second. All in favor? I.
All right. Thank you. All right. Kelsey. Kelsey. Resolution 195205 authorizing the refund of second quarter taxes to block 110 lot 4. Resolution 19620 approval to submit a grant application and execute a grant contract with the New Jersey Department of Transportation

Can we do the three together? Yeah. All right. So, we're going to do uh resolution 200, 207, and 208 2025. I need a motion for those three. Motion. Second. All right. Um we know why.
Uh can we have the roll call, please? Uh Council President Conan, yes. Councilman K, yes. Councilman Desenza, yes. Councilman Dino, yes. Councilman Dodie, recuse. Councilman Griggs, yes. Okay. Very good. All right. Uh, resolution 209. Can I have a motion?
Motion. Second. Second. Okay. Oh, yes, Mayor. I mean, I was just a little curious cuz on this resolution goes whereas the burrow does not have a have a current project in need of ADA improvements. I know we've talked about
this very room. So, this is 33 $37,000 of ADA compliancy. I just didn't understand. I wanted to go where it needed to go. I'm sure there's plenty of conversations that happen, but ADA money, I just wasn't. So, Jar, I can I can help with that. I I
saw I just read this. I apologize. No, no, I I I called Carolyn today. Okay. So, just today cuz I saw the same thing. I asked her about it. Um, two things. I asked about using those funds. So, we're not going to get any new HUD funds until we use the old HUD funds because we're
banking all these old HUD funds. So, then I said, why can't we use it in the roof here, the courtroom roof, which most people know is is bad that really bad. She said we can't use it in this building, the funds. That's why we're not able to do the ADA,
the roof, nothing. So, there's got to be certain parameters which I'm not aware of, but there's certain parameters for the HUD funds. Um, and we can't use them at Bur Hall. Interesting. Yeah. But we can use it on other burrow properties. Yeah. Within a certain vicinity if they
meet certain guidelines. So, I'm assuming the library meets most of the guidelines. And the rec center, the rec center we've done as well. We did the bathrooms there. Well, I mean, this was meant for the rec center and the senior center, which is our senior center. And since we're not going anywhere, I didn't know if there's
any I just I'm out of that loop. So, I wasn't too sure what conversation took place with Yeah, I'm not on HUD chair. I I I don't you know, that's discussed at the HUD meetings, but uh I did ask her today just because I was curious and I just asked her about the roof here. She said we can't use in Bur Hall,
right? But you have to reassign it even if you move it later, which is why they're doing this reappropriate. We're gonna, you know, we're not going to be able to get any more HUD funds because we have so much that we haven't used. Now, they're not big amounts. They're small amounts, but we're not using them. They're not going to give us,
right? Whereas within a certain vicinity, um I don't know what the radius is. It's I think it's somewhere on Mountain Avenue, um where the library qualifies. The rec center qualifies. We have to be careful with the rec center. We don't own it.
Right. That's the other thing. Yeah. We spend money on the bathroom and upgrade it all. Right. And we don't even own it. See, the thing with the reappropriation is that if you don't have it appropriated, then it disappears entirely. If you reappropriate it, it
leaves it as an option to be used down the road in the future. The thing that really came out of it was, if I have this right, is that the way we had it appropriated was a a nonconforming use, which meant that we could not use the money for that, which meant you would have lost it. So, you had to
reappropriate it. So, you basically took it from one thing, you put it in something else. It's it's a holder. It's it's a placeholder so you don't lose it. But I asked about Burough Hall and the answer was no. Yeah, I asked the same question. Yep. You did. Yeah. I was eyeing up the the roof. I didn't
even think about this for Was there like a policy or anything that referred to the note that we can look at from them or no? Uh, no. I mean, she just said that we can't use it. We did have a meeting a couple of months ago. I mean, you could ask about it. I mean, that's why it's just it's it's basically
pushed and re reappropriated. Okay. Were you there? Are you HUD Joe? You are. Okay. Anything else? any more? Are there going to be any more um funds like this? Cuz this is just 2123. And when I was thinking about I wasn't going to say anything at first. I was trying to understand it. That's why I
was meaning like I didn't read it. I didn't read into it this way. But rereading it, I just wanted to make sure that we wouldn't get marked down as a group because we do have ADA projects that we could comply. But if I'm hearing correct, I don't think we have. They have to there's a very specific window that they got to fit in.
Okay. And so for instance, for ADA, we can't use it at like I'm talking about rambling when we garage stuff like that, but we can't use it at like the burrow garage. It's not in the it's not in the It's got to be for seniors. When I was when I was first on council,
I know Cookfield qualifies for hoods, believe it or not. Yeah. But we have it there, but I don't I don't think there's any any qualifies. Cookfield. Yeah. Okay. Anything else? No, that's it. I'm pushed. I'm a little confused on this, so I'm
just going to abstain from it. Okay. Get a better understanding, but that's it. That's fine. Anybody else? All right. Call it. Council President Conan? Yes. Councilman K. Councilman Dino? Yes. Councilman Dumba? Yes. Councilman Dodie?
Yes. Councilman Griggs? Yes. Okay. Very good. So, that takes us through that the non-consent agenda resolution. I'm sorry. I know that I jumped a motion. No, she got to read it first.
Yeah, she got to read it. Resolution 212, 2022. Pay all claim. Motion. I have a motion. Second. All right. Any discussion? Call the role, please. Council President Conahan. Yes. Councilman Kin. Yes. Councilman Desensza. Yes.
