We're here with Sufi Cannabis. >> Go right ahead. Sorry. >> This is our time to begin. >> Thank you very much. >> Good evening everyone. Commissioner Hwitt, Commissioner Kasaboom, Commissioner Suie, Vice Mayor Watson, Mayor Ramanick. It's a it's an honor to
finally meet you guys. Been waiting a few months. Um, good evening everyone. >> Testing one too. >> Yep. >> Uh, my name is Rudy Santan. and I'm CEO of Sufi Cannabis Inc. I am a forom MBA and Xpic 4 consultant turned cannabis
entrepreneur for the sole purpose of creating jobs and using cannabis as a platform for economic development of the communities where we're operating in. We're here tonight to seek support for a resolution for a cannabis cultivation
and manufacturing facility right here in Millville. um in preparing for for for for this for this meeting. Uh we've invested time, capital, and and a lot of care to ensure that our project is a benefit to the community and and complies with uh New
Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission regulations. Um to prepare for this uh meeting, my brother advised me uh not to ask what Milville can do for us, but to ask what we can do for Milville. Um, as
a form MBA and XPIC for consultant, we're not just a cannabis company. We're also a tech company focused on traditional delivery and last mile drone delivery technology, focused on South Jersey and the Delaware Valley. This is
why Milville is a good location for us. In the short run, this means that we will establish our cannabis cultivation and manufacturing license. But tomorrow, it'll be a mini cannabis industrial park, assuming all our four
licenses eventually get approved. And then the day after an aerotech green energy initiative, assuming full capacity, we project over about up to 100 jobs with our cannabis
cultivation alone. This will attract between5 to10 million in startup capital and we project having to pay to the city anywhere between 50,000 to $200,000 under the 2% transfer
tax over 10 years. We would like to reinvest our profits again into the aerotech green energy initiative. maybe reinvest our profits into the airport
um industrial park um and turn that into a hub for advanced manufacturing, drone logistics, and sustainable energy. And thereby over 10 years that 100 jobs can turn into 1500 jobs, $250 million in private investment and an anchor for new
industries in aerospace, clean technology, and what we do, hemp, uh um biotech. Um our proposed location is 415 South Second Street,
block 529, lot 1.01. It is a 52 thou. It's it's a it was previously a car wash uh a drive-through car wash, self-service car wash. Uh it's a 52,000 foot lot with an 18,800 square foot structure currently on it. It's been
closed for over 10 years or at least 10 years. It will be a an enclosed a a a a secure closed loop cannabis cultivation
and manufacturing facility producing clean lab tested products for licensed retailers only. There will be no on-site consumption, no odor and no public access. Our facility, our cultivation
facility will be fully enclosed with heap of filtered air systems to eliminate odor and to help us comply with D environmental standards. We are a professional company that wants
to operate according to regulations. our security. We are uh we have fencing around the facility. We have 24-hour surveillance and again um no public access. You know, access would be restricted. Our goal is not just to
establish a cannabis facility here in Millville, but to partner with Milville. We look forward to cooperating with local schools um also with universities with our drone delivery softwares. Uh we
look forward to cooperating with with work training initi initiatives um as well as um environmental projects. Um, as we like to say when we play around, um,
ask the question to be or not to be. To be a township, to be a city, the city of Millville. We believe that if you build it, they will come. And we would like that opportunity and your support
for a cannabis cultivation and manufacturing resolution. Thank you very much. God bless. >> Thank you, sir. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Most of you know me. I'm Pastor Brian Robinson. I'm pastor of First United Methodist Church here in town and also moderator for the Millville Ministers
Assoc Milville Ministers Group. Um, I'd like to also speak about item number 18. Um, obviously, uh, any type of product that causes abdictive behavior is not one that we as the mil ministers could
support. Um, the location of this is very close to a school. Having been a former principal, I can tell you we do a lot of education about not having addictive drugs. to put this so close to a school may seem like it's sending a
mixed message to some. So, I would just like to encourage the city commission to carefully consider not just the financial impact, and there are many wonderful things. There are many wonderful things, but I'd also like you to consider, do we need something that
has potentially addictive behaviors to it? One more thing in our city. It's like saying we need another bar. Do we really? Thank you. >> Seeing nobody else clear public comment on agendas items. Madam clerk, are there any changes to the agenda?
>> There are none. Mayor >> presentations. Seeing none. Bills, please >> make a motion to pay the bills. >> Second motion. >> Roll call, please. >> Commissioner Hwitt, >> yes. >> Vice Mayor Watson, yes. >> Commissioner Kasaboon, >> yes. Yes. Commissioner Suie. >> Yes. >> Mayor Ramen. >> Yes.
Petitions and letters. >> There are none. >> Ports of commissioners. Commissioner Hwitt. >> Yes. Uh, as I mentioned earlier, we've got a few things on the agenda tonight. We're going to be purchasing the body warn cameras for the PD.
We're going to be purchasing the breathing apparatus, new harnesses, new face masks for the fire department along with a air compressor for those bottles because as was explained to us and I actually saw those
bottles compared to what we have now the other day. Uh and I fully understand why we need a new compressor. Uh, and we have now finished ambulance 3030, which is the ambulance that we worked
together with Lawrence Township to purchase. The ambulance has been through the shop. The ambulance has now been fully wrapped and today it passed state inspection. The EMTs will be working on it to learn
the workings of that ambulance. It's an older ambulance, so a little bit different operation of the stretcher, bringing patients in and out. Uh not going to be anything in major and that we will then have ambulance 3030 up and operating in the city of Mobile. Uh with
that progress, Mayor, >> thank you, Commissioner Hwitt. Commissioner Suie. >> Yeah, over the last week, the parks department has completed fall cleanup throughout the park system. And over the last couple of weeks, we have switched over another dozen of our decorative light poles to LEDs. This Saturday, we
will hold our annual pumpkin extravaganza from 2 pm to 4 pm between second and third streets on high in the immediate vicinity of Capones, which is a new restaurant that'll be opening shortly on High. There will be pony rides, trunk or treat, pumpkin
decorating, and other spooky fun. Uh, you have until this Friday to enter the home or business into the annual Halloween decorating contest. To sign up, call 8568257000 extension 7394 or email recreation@mobileenj.gov.
I checked in code blue money yesterday for the hope center. That should be available after the next county meeting. So hopefully we'll get that squared away. Fingers crossed on that one. Um, we had an inquiry for opioid money for transport to a methadone clinic. So, I
again reached out to the hope center to see what their direct one of their directors thought and they thought that it would at least some similar to that could provide a way for some of our local addicts to possibly get some treatment that they wouldn't ordinarily be able to
get because we don't have a clinic here. So I'll be reaching out further if you guys wish to proceed with that. Um if you think about that over the next two weeks till the next meeting to see if you want to proceed. One was uh one idea was for a company they
actually approached us to run a shuttle service. The other idea was for vouchers to send them over on the bus or whatever back and forth on a bus with vouchers which may be a little more efficient. So, uh, anyway, that's that,
uh, also CRP community reality partners will be coming before the planning board in November for hopefully the final approval for that project over there. And with that progress, >> thank you, Commissioner Sie, Commissioner Kaboom. >> All right. for streets and roads for the
midocctober. Streets and roads is currently preparing for loose leaf collections which runs from November 1st to December the 31st. You can put your leaves out to the curb now and we will be begin collection Monday, November the 3rd. Brush collection is over for 2025.

um which will bring a raising canes valing quick service and Aspen dental and a Starbucks drive-thru that got approved at the last at this month's planning board. This past Saturday was very busy with candidate forum being held at the library.

and there are several other ones some even closer to schools than this one. Um I just want to explain it, you know. So um when this ordinance was being passed a long time ago in the last commission, there was very little objection to cannabis sales
any of it. For what reason? I don't know why there was no objection at the time. So that's why I moved the resolution and that's why I will support the resolution. >> And if I can, mayor, >> just so folks know, a lot of folks do not know in this town that we do have
one operating cannabis grow facility in this city. State law mandates there can be no signage. There's no signage on the vehicles that go in and out of those facilities. Uh,
personally, I attended a drill for our entire fire department and EMS squad at the facility that is operating now. There's no access to that building unless you need to get unless you're an employee. Uh, we now know how to get in
there in case there's a fire. But if there is a fire, every room, don't hold me to it, but I'm pretty sure I walked through, we walked through and saw how everything operates from a seed to produce to to packaging it, all separate
rooms, sealed rooms. If there's a fire in one room, that building locks down. That whole facility locks down. And actually by time the fire trucks are on the way that compartment that might have the situation
everything shut off. Oxygen shut off that fire self-extinguishes itself. Uh and there is nothing uh and I understand uh and I talked to a lot of the reverends and stuff when we started this on our side uh this commission uh
because there was push back there. Uh, we have to get some money here somehow. Uh, Vinland last year, don't hold me to it, but I believe they're right around $800,000 worth of tax money. >> 801.
>> It exactly. It's We need things here, folks. Uh, I look at it as a bit of a sacrifice in some people's minds. uh maybe a big sacrifice, but it's a positive for the
city of Milville. We have to we have to get moving forward and catch up with the times here. So, I will my vote will mirror that thought. Thank you, mayor. >> I wanted to add one more thing. Uh great presentation. Uh you spoke very well. You answered a lot of questions that a
lot of people have, you know, when this subject comes to light. Um but something happened after you both both uh spoke. you guys, you know, shook hands. Um, it's really awesome to see, you know, two different opinions. You were able to shake hands, respect each other. Um, I just wanted to highlight that and let
the residents to know, you know, that that happened. It's good to see, put it that way. Um, I haven't really been in support of cannabis and um, you know, I think working together uh, you'll you'll see my vote, but we're trying to work together, just difference opinion. We
were able to respect that. So, appreciate it. Thank you. Roll call, please. >> Commissioner Hwitt, >> yes. >> Vice Mayor Watson, >> abstain. >> Commissioner Kasabun, >> abstain. >> Commissioner Suie, >> yes. >> Mayor Romnick, >> yes.

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, and address your concerns. Please limit your comments to approximately five minutes. Thank you. Hi, Cindy Cook Valain Millville. Um, as part of my
responsibility to um, on the homeless trust fund representing the city of Milville, I also participate in the continuum of care, which is the CAS. Um, that's the system for coordinating
the homeless entry programs throughout not just Cumberland County, but all of South Jersey. Um, with that information, I received a couple an email that I thought was
important to share with our community and it's regarding the SNAP program. We did receive word that the federal government shutdown in October might
affect the SNAP nutrition programs. With that, it's unclear if the benefits loaded onto the debit card before October 31st will be affected or not.
The work first of New Jersey program should be available on time for the recipients. the child care assistant program and um at this time it looks like it
will not be interrupted at all and so the family should be okay and it does not look like it's going to impact when recipients receive their child support payments. Now, for further information, people can
go to NJ SNAP, snap.gov, and they can actually get the information as it becomes available. But I thought it was important that our people have this information so that
they're not worried about whether these programs are going to be cut because of the shutdown. Thank you. >> Thank you, Cindy, for that information. Mary Mesa here of Milville. It's not so much as a concern. It's just a response
to various things that I've heard, seen. One was there's been a video that's been circulating nonstop
about trash debris sprawled around one of the uh empty buildings that's in the uh I'm going to call it a strip mall where Dollar Tree and um Family Dollar is. What most whoever cleaned it up, we
thank you for that. but by rights. What most people don't understand that whole property is owned by a particular person or company and all those stores are nothing more than tenants
and they all share the area for the trash section. And my personal opinion to that one is if all these stores are putting their trash out, they're seeing the trash
that's sprawled here, there, and everywhere. It isn't going to hurt anybody to bend over and pick it up and put it where it belongs. I understand a lot of it is because somebody happens to be going through it.
Then again too, it could be so full that somebody hasn't made the phone call to sit there and call whatever company they've got to remove it that it's overflowing. But they need to understand that.
And I've also am going to respond to the multiples negativity on bashing the police department for not doing anything about four-wheelers and motorbikes that are
not really meant to be on the street that the police aren't doing anything. It's not their fault. their hands are tied by the attorney generals. The only thing I can suggest is get out and vote on November 4th. So, we
will get an an attorney general. Hopefully, that'll untie the police department's hands. And second of all, write letters to the attorney general telling him about your various concerns. I understand. Yes, chasing them can
cause a lot of problems for both the police department as well as individuals, but stop bashing the police department for something that they have no control over. And I appreciate the time.
>> Thank you, Mary. Hello, I'm Tom McGinty. I'm from the city. Um, with the cannabis issue, um, we need businesses to come into Milville. Um, I know cannabis isn't
popular with a lot of people and I understand the negatives as far as perceptions that go along with cannabis and we can argue about it all night and you know the the
good thing is this is very controlled as we all know. Um, we've seen presentations by the cannabis producers. A lot of it is medicinal. Um it's not stuff that's going to go onto the
street. Um but the other thing that we have to think about is the ancillary equipment, the machinery, the people who uh are going
to install it, repair it. um the uh you know parts and service to refrigeration uh which it's my understanding there's quite a bit of um uh the
air handling equipment. It's all high-tech. It's all big dollars and in addition to what we reap from the tax and from uh other things from the
cannabis industry. We get a lot of unseen benefits to the community where hopefully they try to buy local as much as they can and keep the place running,
keep the place looking nice. Um, it's not an insignificant amount of money. Thank you. Seeing no one further, I will close public comment portion. Closing comments of commissioners. Commissioner Hwlet.
>> Uh, yes. Uh, I think I'll let you handle the trash situation. Matter. >> You can comment if you want. Doesn't matter. >> Uh, we are on this trash situation, Mary. Yes. Residents around that area are using those dumpsters. Uh probably more because I know there's been a few of us
commissioners out there. There's been code enforcement out there, both sides, both of our code enforcement people. Uh I get copied due to public safety. I believe uh mayor gets copied in all the
emails from our code enforcement. The owner of that property is doing his due diligence. Last I heard, they are going to be fencing in those. But that's not going to do anything. Let's let's be honest. They're gonna just toss their dirty clothes and everything right over
the fence on the At least it won't be blown all over the place. The fence will be a catchall. So, that's being worked on. Just so you know. Uh four-wheelers, you know where we are there. And you saw the ordinance we brought forward tonight. That's going to cover
because they are a massive hazard. They're getting to be worse than the four-wheelers. The scooters and the electric bikes are taking over. Uh so we're handling that with another ordinance right now uh that hopefully at this point the state hasn't
even touched, but we're still not going to be able to pursue these kids on these on these vehicles. Uh it'll be a whole lot easier to reach out and stop a scooter that's on the sidewalk on High Street. Uh so uh myself, I had a little bit of a run
in on Carlton Avenue the other night with a scooter after dark. two young kids on a stand-up scooter. Luckily, I saw them because they were running right down the main the middle lane of line of the road. Uh so that's what that ordinance was. We'll do a second reading on it and pass it next meeting. We're
doing as best we can. Uh, I just got a text. Uh, Commissioner Caspoon, I will because they're watching. Uh, a question as to I think I know the answer, but I'm going to let you verify it tomorrow. >> Okay.
>> Ask what they can do with old stale gas. I don't know. I think that could probably be taken over with the oil. I don't know. I'm not sure. Yeah, because it's >> But yeah, they're watching. and it's a resident that and I will get an answer. >> If you can get back with me, I'll let you know. >> I will definitely do that.
>> And uh with that progress, >> thank you, Commissioner Hillet. I would think the county would take it, wouldn't you? >> I would think that's the hazardous waste collection. >> Hazardous waste because it's gas, it's not oil. >> Yeah, we'll check. >> We'll check. >> Yeah. >> Thank you, Commissioner Suie. >> Sure. I'm going to address that trash
first. So upon seeing that video, I called the code enforcement officer and he said he didn't nobody made a complaint. He went over there, he called the landlord. The landlord took care of it >> and of course the v video still circulates. So you know when you see
something if you call us instead of and you can post it on Facebook, too, but if you would bring it to our attention, it might be picked up a little faster than posting on Facebook. >> Yeah, because it is the same video. Commissioner, you're right.
Mr. Watson, I appreciate your consistency on the cannabis manufacturing and sales issue. You're consistent on that and have been the whole time. So, I appreciate that. Um, as it's mentioned, this is the last meeting before the election.
So, you guys consider who you vote for. I know the mayor is very fond of quotes. So, the government you elect is the government you deserve. And that's by Thomas Jefferson. So keep that in mind when you go vote. Figure out what you
want. Figure out if you want four-wheelers riding down the street or you don't. Figure out who's going to stop it, who isn't. If you want NAB Avenue, vote for your county commissioners that are going to make it happen. If you don't want it, vote for the other guys.
And the same goes with the 19 of us, which is going to be a very interesting election. And with that progress. >> Thank you, Commissioner Suie. Commissioner Kasmoon. >> Yes, Commissioner Suie. Yes, I agree. Of
19. It should be very interesting, but vote. Just get out and vote, please. And I have one for you. Remember, mostly the world sees you the way you see yourself. And with that, it's on you. >> Next is Thank you, Commissioner Kaspoon.
Vice Mayor Watson, anything? Yeah, just to help Commissioner Kasaboo out. Um, Street and Roads does not take steel gas. >> I didn't think so. >> Uh, hazardous waste day at the, uh, the authority. >> I don't think it's until January, but I'll find out that date and let you
know. >> April. >> April. >> Gotcha. >> Gotcha. >> But the resident can take it out there, I think, >> to the county. Yeah. >> Um, as far as I for as far as me for closing, uh, good luck to all those in any election. >> Thank you.
Yes, Mary. Bob police has been on that actively. Um, just as Commissioner Huitt has said and Commissioner Suie has said. Um, we're all very aware of that. I that video is out there, but the the owner of that uh building and property, they have
been working. Um, not all fairly and equally. It was a little uh content um as uh Bob police could tell you >> um getting it done, but it has been done and it is on our furthermore radar as you know you'll see you know big brother always say this if you see see something
say something and I could think that hearkens to what commissioner Suie said you know you can still post on Facebook but you know give us a call see if it is if it is still happening after it did get cleaned up. Um, but you know, I could almost speak your own words and it's just that little piece of paper. We
can all do a difference and that's just, you know, talking to the societal level of picking up a random piece of trash, a random piece of paper just being recycled where it needs to go. Um, and as I look up the brainy quote of the day, and this is could be related to uh
all of the candidates that are running for election on November 4th statewide. The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. Jonas Sulk. Motion for adjournment. >> Make motion. >> Second. All favor.
