We have now reached the public comment portion of our meeting. Anyone who would like to address the commission, please go to the podium, state your name, address your concerns, and please limit your comments
to approximately 5 minutes. Thank you. I'd like to start off commending you 10 new officers. I don't know if people understand how hard that is. Um, great job for everybody. As short staff as they maybe are over there, that's minimum of 10 background checks,
psychologicals. Uh, the background check uh checks are weeks, a month, and I guarantee you there are more than 10. That's probably 10 that pass. So kudos to all you in the mobile police department. I can just imagine how hard that was to get 10
officers. So just great job for them. Great job for you guys. Um Emily, I want to give a a shout out for Emily. I know she just came along not too long ago. >> Hey Rick, can you tap the mic? See if it's on. >> There we go.
>> Can you press the button? should get a green light. >> There we go. >> Sorry about that. >> We heard you. TV couldn't. Thank you. Go ahead. >> Okay. And um we had a little hiccup right with 48 hours left and she went above and beyond uh making sure that
everybody who had their 50 petitions made sure that they knew what they needed to do to get to 75. Um we lost nobody, right, which was a great thing. So it just makes election more fair and um she did some things that she didn't have to do just to make sure that
everybody knew what they needed. Um and then we pulled the ballots and that went uh as well too. So thank you for doing all that. Street painting looks great. Um, good job on that. And the drainage, the Rhonda Drive is Are we hoping that solves everything?
>> That's a tough one, right? >> It is a tough one. >> That is a tough one. So, I hope so. >> I can get more info. >> Yeah, because that's been we've been dealing with that. So, thanks for helping out with that. And the only really negative is is we're still at 20 months, 88 weeks, 616
days for employees without contracts. Now, just a word of advice. We don't have to wait till the next meeting to still work on getting things done because I'm sure you guys are down to just one or two items. We can do negotiations between
lawyers prior to that. So, just a word of advice. Let's let's move this on. Okay, you guys. Everything else is wrapped up. Let's get them wrapped up. All right. Thank you, guys. >> Thank you, Rick. >> Thanks, Rick. >> Steve Solaf from Vinand. Uh good evening. I want to quickly touch on the
issue of lawn signs since it's been raised this year. Uh I completely understand the concerns during the primaries. There were a lot of signs cluttering the roads and stricter enforcement makes sense as a deterrent. That being said, I was told this season
to do things the right way and go get a permit. I came to city hall expecting it to be just a formality. Fill out a form to make my intentions known. pay a reasonable administration fee, maybe 25 or 50 bucks, and make sure I wasn't
being obnoxious with my advertising. Maybe something like only two signs per property and let people know what I'm doing. If somebody has a problem with a particular sign placement, I'd go pick it up before problems escalate. Instead, I was told that public property
is completely off limits. Private residences are fine with permission, and commercial properties require both written permission from the owner and $25 per sign. So, just to illustrate the situation for both voters and
candidates, I'm not necessarily interested to spend another 500 bucks and chase down multiple property owners just for basic visibility. I've already paid for the signs and I spend plenty of time chasing down candidates for basic information. So, like most candidates
do, I'll simply say if you want a lawn sign for your home, I have them available. And the second point I want to bring up is just a reminder to candidates and to the community watching. We are now officially past summer and mailin
ballots go out in just over two weeks. candidate information is trickling in and I want to be clear in the interest of transparency. I am again offering the opportunity to participate in basic coverage and interviews. If a candidate isn't interested, that's fine. Just say
so directly. I'm not here to convince anyone to make their case to the public. I'm simply providing an opportunity. If candidates are creating content themselves or through other platforms, great. That's less work for me. just send over the links and I'll add the
content to the repository. But if a candidate initially expresses interest and then later changes their mind without communicating, that may be noted in the final reports. And if there is no publicly available information about a candidate or the information is
significantly insufficient, that will be noted as well. The bigger point is this. I'm not here to force anyone to campaign. I'm here to suggest that voters deserve accessible centralized coverage and each candidate is welcome
to choose their own approach. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Steve. >> Good evening. My name is Gordon Ball. I'm actually from Wildwood, but I am the lieutenant governor for division one in Kuanis. And that's what I'm here to talk
to you about today. Uh I hope everyone is familiar with Kuanas. Uh it's a service organization. It was established over a hundred years ago. And basically we're interested in doing things to help kids. Um kind of like the Lions are
known for the eyeglass thing. We're known for for doing things for help helping children. Um, as such, we are trying to open a club in Cumberland County. It and the it would be between
uh members from all of the communities. Okay. Um, Kuanis does service projects for children um based on the community needs. Um, your needs are probably different from the club I'm in in
Wildwood. um were both different from Long Island Long Long Long Beach Island, which is another club I was just at where they were raising uh getting socks to give to homeless people for the winter. Um we do all sorts of of things
like that. Um but whatever is needed in the area and that's where the clubs themselves are the ones that that do a lot of the work figuring out what is needed. Um the programs uh also help create for
the next generation community leaders. For instance, Key Club Key Club is for high school students. It teaches them to be uh to be leaders and it helps when they apply for college
if they can say that they're in a you know they're in a key club. the admissions offices generally look more favorably towards them and that's something that we would we would hope would would be formed. Uh and all of this is done without impacting taxpayer
dollars. Okay. It's something that that the clubs themselves raise the money for uh through whatever means pancake breakfasts or pasta dinners or whatever. It's up to the clubs to decide how they do that. Um, but that's basically what
what Kuanis is doing. Uh, I'd like I'm like to leave a couple of brochures here uh and people can take them with them. Uh, hopefully uh some of you will turn out. Uh, we are going to have an
organization meeting next Wednesday at the Millville Public Library for the Cumberland Club. Um, and I'll I'll leave some on the the table here. Hopefully, uh, some of you folks will be interested. It it really is a good project and it helps kids immeasurably.
Thank you very much. >> Thank you, sir. >> Thank you, >> Mary Mess of Milville. What I'm here for tonight is on behalf of those that live down around Buck Shoot Road and Horththornne. They've stated many of
times that the road, which is basically gravel, little pebbles and everything else. They've stated to me many of times and to a few other people I know that their road was supposed to be paved. Yet,
they're not paved. They want to know if and when can they expect it because they've had their cars damaged by vehicles going up and down the road, not speeding, but just because the pebbles
are there. Uh those that are cutting their grass somehow or another pebbles are being kicked up up against their homes, their houses. They'd like to know if and when is the
city going to get around to doing something about their street. All the other streets are being taken care of. Why isn't theirs? That's their question. I'm just their mouthpiece for tonight. I thank you. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you, Mary. >> Seeing no one further, I'll close public comment on the agenda. Closing comments of commissioners. Commissioner Hwlet, go ahead. >> Uh, nothing major. Thank you for coming out tonight, folks. Thank you for
presentation. See how it goes. Uh, and we'll see you all in a couple of weeks. >> Thank you, >> Commissioner S. Go ahead. >> Sure. So, remember, school's back, buses are out, kids are out. Be careful. And I
know you're fond of quotes, Mr. Mayor. So, it's uh two to choose from, but we'll do courage is not the absence of fear, which is part of a quote quote from Franklin Roosevelt. Progress. >> Thank you, Commissioner Suie. Mr. Cosmoon.
>> Okay, Trish, I want to say welcome. It's been a pleasure. Looking forward to working with you. Also, congrats to the 10 new officers. To piggyback on Commissioner Suie, yes, school is going to be in on Thursday. Please be very careful. these children
don't pay attention. Congratulations to Jar. Carl for on the planning board and thank those who have come out. It's all I have. Thank you. >> Thank you, Commissioner Kosman. Vice Mayor Watson. Anything? >> Yeah, I just wanted to add again um great job to the police department. Uh you Commissioner Huitt, you know, for
the additional three that we already have in the system kind of going and you know, for the seven that are going to the academy. So, it's good news, very good news today. Um, I think this commission is in big support for fire, public safety, police. Uh, a lot of negotiations going on this year with
different unions. Uh, again, we're moving forward with S SOA September 11th. We've been going back and forth, you know, for quite some time. Uh, I believe that we're pretty close and hopefully we have some news back from that. >> Yeah, very soon. >> Excellent. >> That's all I have. >> Thank you. Yeah, just as uh Rickot
stated, you know, the hard work that the police department did do to get through most likely more than 10 applications. Um I know on the the military side just, you know, depending on where you're at and what you do in any type of government, it's a lengthy process and
they won't do any mistakes with that. So, uh kudos to the police department and getting that done with, you know, like Mr. Cot said with the short staff and such and all these events that you know we're doing in and around the city of Milville. Um so I welcome all new 10.
Um I'm astounded by those numbers, you know. Uh so good work by, you know, Commissioner Huitt and the police department getting that done. Schools, just like Commissioner Suie said. Um yep, school's starting. It's going to be even more crowded now just with the
added traffic. Um and you know like I said we got multiple construction projects that will be start have already started and will be starting soon around the city. Um so just uh please be patient and with your morning travels um up and coming past Thursday. Um as well
as I alluded to last meeting, you know, I said I like poaching in government for workers and especially good government workers. Um, so to have uh Trish back in the city again and poaching her from a nearby city as well, uh it's uh very rewarding. Um so we're glad to have you
back. Um I'm already hearing in just the the week it's been and a half of uh good reports back from a lot of the staff here in the city in city hall. So uh thank you Trish and welcome aboard. Other than that, I thank each and every
one of you for coming out here tonight. Um, thank you for the chiefs that come. You guys are pretty, uh, resilient on, uh, spending your Tuesdays here in city hall, um, when you don't have to. Uh, I wish it was a little cooler in here. I don't know why the AC is not exactly
blasting, but uh, a little warm, but good meeting overall. Um, thank you. And, uh, enjoy the new school year. Those that have young ones, um, parents, enjoy the new school year with your students. Maybe you'll learn something from them. Uh each and one of you have a
safe evening and rest of the rest of the week. Ajournment, please >> make a motion.
