What's that? Let's go. This is >> It is live. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Is that a problem or >> something? What's that?
>> Oh, yeah. It's um plan try plan better Morris planes. >> Yeah. What's that? >> Uh >> I don't know. Sorry. Yeah, I don't have my phone. I had it's done taping. Yeah. >> Yeah, it'll be posted. Yeah.
Change your grip. Make a little noise. state of this meeting of the resolution meeting by posting resolution. Please rise and join me in the pledge of allegiance and all
Almighty God, we ask we ask you blessing their public trust every member. a couple presentations. We have to talk about your name and address. >> Hi, my name is Brad.
road jersey. I'm here today to present my proposal project. This just goes over some of the um important details regarding my project, overview of it and
Um so just a little quick overview of this project. Um I'm proposing to do two bullpens for the baseball field at the Morris Plains veteran supported work. Um I'm a student at Morris County School of Technology. I'm there studying finance
in their global commerce academy and I'm also part of the baseball team there. Um so every day after school in the spring we got to the field playing there, having games there. Um, and I just want to help improve that feel for the safety and wellbeing of all players and
spectators that are there to watch these events. Um, with this proposal, it would help with safety aspects of making sure no fly balls, no stray balls get away, injuring any spectators, any players. Um, so help improve all the safety
aspects of this field that it's used. So, I just trying to bring that up. Um, just a little overview of it. Um, why I feel that this will help the community. I feel like anybody that stands up to use it, anything that does at this field
would be able to uh use this and protect others from injury. No foul balls, no uh no straight pitches while warm-ups are going on, nothing like that. So, we can keep the safety and protection at the utmost importance.
So the purpose of this project is as stated health and safety but it's also help give specific designated areas for warmups for patient myself. Um so it's very important for me just to make sure that I can help and do the best that I
can help the safety aspect for everybody else. Uh there currently is no bull one there. So with this I'd be uh planning to start or planning with these few steps with the preparation in the
area working level on the ground to make sure it's all flat so we can actually have proper and all of that then measuring and laying out everything as I said and proper so have the correct standards preparation
u pitching out uh the construction of it making sure that it's all constructed properly able to stand. Um then going into the installation, I will be uh in charge of this myself. Um same as my project. Um there will be a
lot of adult supervision there helping with all the safety while this is going instructed. Um my father will be part of this as well. Um and I will also a lot of help from fellow scouts in township and any else that I feel willing to get
volunteers and finally just making sure it's properly made. Any any changes that need to be made will be done. Um and I'm hoping with the approval of everyone here today to be able to start this
September of this year and be able to finish it in November this year. So, it should be it'll be a quick project, but it will be a major improvement to the field itself. And with that, does anybody have any questions?
>> Unfortunately, you don't live in my name. involved. He grew up in Park, New Jersey. >> And just a little bit of background, why did you pick that? >> So, I chose this field specifically
because it would impact me. It would impact my team and school. Um, with me being there, I'd be able to live uh through this and use this for my next two years at Morris County Schoolology and I'd be able to pass this down to anybody else that goes there, plays on
the team. Um, so I can have a part of a little legacy with the team that can stay there for years after I'm gone, years after college. Um, and possibly if any of my kids in the future were there,
um, they'd be able to see it and use So just a major impact to me personally and every >> So the bullpen would be put on the sides um past where the bleachers are put currently. Um they're featured by the
dugouts themselves. Um so they'd be packed far enough back where no balls would be able to hit anybody sitting on these bleachers um anything like that. They'd be having a netting protecting any stray balls that might go past and anything like that. We just make sure
that it's part of that size so that it's not in the field of play but it would also be able to be a part of this field. >> So I'm not really toward >> they're more toward
they're all protected by defensing. >> So would they be said there would be two one on each side? >> Yes. >> So there is plenty of room. Um, I've
mapped it up. There's um at least an extra with these in place at least an extra 20 to 30 ft um of room for the room. These would be freestanding areas freestanding area for the home plate, a little bit of
grass between the itself. So, there would be still room there. It wouldn't be taking up a lot of space. Um, it would just be >> Thank you so much for coming. I had the pleasure of meeting you already. I think this packet is wonderful and I
think that here I think this is a great idea. I'm honored to have is from it. So we're grateful. >> Yeah, I want to echo that. Thank you for
choosing more. I I do want to just commend you on your public speaking. Um it's very difficult to get council um and to to do what you do at your age. So you did very well. Presentation was good. Daddy's got a future in sales.
Um just uh just two questions I have because we do have a I'll say it's batting and I know that the uh you know is it that sort of netting that that would go around this the bullpen area what kind of
so it would be more just behind home plate where the balls would be being thrown um they would be encased almost they have like a do nothing get over it. Um catches the
squat position. So there'll be room for them to stand up and move around and kind of do all that but it still be able to block anything from going out 10 feet. >> Would that be a permanent installation or would it be
>> So the the netting itself could be taken down and then it be the next season. >> Um, yeah, be taken down. Um, so it wouldn't be a permanent thing. It could just be put up put down in between season so
that that's not taken up. >> Okay. And then, um, just just to that end, the maintenance, right? Um, after you're done with your project, I see, you know, in the past there's I'll just use portion for an example, right?
maint So, so me personally, I'll be taking care of it. Um, I'll be having some volunteers that are on the team that are willing to help you with it. Um, my brother's hopefully get into tech and he'll be able to help me with that. Uh, you know, while I'm out of school
system, I'll be able to just help put it back up, take it down, keep it condition. So it can stay happy. for a very long time. So your team is very happy. Also, >> yeah, thanks again for coming in. It
sounds like a really cool opportunity. I'm not a huge baseball guy, but does sound like you said your Did you practice there as well? So, you'll be there in the future as well.
>> Yeah, that sounds really neat. Um, that was actually my question. What size is it? >> Okay. Does anyone else play you guys? Not that I'm aware of. >> Yeah, I think
sounds like great opportunity. I think you got your children. We have our commissioner here. >> We're all 100% support. This is a great opportunity for part of the shared service. We spoke to
them already about passing the torch. They're going to be doing a lot of the maintenance season. So it's a win for us. It's a norainer. It's done a great job and we're happy to have you.
We really want to say that you said earlier I think it sounds 500. You know, I just thank you for the opportunity for him to have this experience for the opportunity for him to do this.
something as a spectator at the games. I appreciate what he's going to be doing because their way from where they end up warming up down the line to where parents are standing where their respective are
watching and it's an odd angle. It's coming from like this side. So, you're not Um, and it also will help the the players themselves because it's a coach that goes out protecting the players
that are warming up from any number and email exchange. That way when they start email our department before we do that please stand and have a moment of silence for the fire
Department 100% 100% found out about what they went through early in May. I thought it was very important that also leadership training that goes on.
have you guys here today. I'm going to tell the story. This is second or third hand. So if it's wrong, I want you to correct me. On May 1st after a fire department meeting, Frank Nun and Pat
Gary was setting up a ladder. Frank Nun was getting a drill. A car pulled up onto the front range. A woman was driving said that her husband was having an allergic reaction. At Gary called inside to get some help from the guys
who were still upstairs. As he headed upstairs, Pat went over to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. The man was there and Pat could tell he was having problem. The man handed Pat Gary an empty pen that he had in his hand.
grabbed it, got the man's permission, and administered it. As his condition began to improve, Gary asked him and the driver a few questions about what happened and talk to him the effect that the EP talk to him the effects the Epen
was having on it. Frank Nun came back and Mark Bellis radioed for an ambulance. They stayed with the man until the police arrived and took over. When the ambulance got there, Pat G told them as much as he knew and they took the patient to the hospital. And from
what we're told, the patient I want to recognize Pat and Frank stand up and you guys would like to say in your own words audience
about what happened. It was really just a shocking experience personally because we were out there just taking down decorations off the front of the firehouse and just out of nowhere we were thrust into a situation that we never
personally handled the court. But luckily through some of the training we got from the fire department and from our west before that uh we were able to handle the situation pretty well. Um, I don't really have anything much to add other than the description, but I'm glad
that the guy made a full recovery and I hope I never have to do that again, but who knows? >> I'm just I'm just thankful that training department at the county
That's your family. You want to >> right here? This is my mom, my dad, my little brother, and my little sister. My old sister. Right behind them we have my grandpa and my aunts and um not family but right
here we've got my teacher who's part of the reason why I got so involved in firefighting as well as my dad and my grandpa of course but all of them I just want to say a huge thanks I have here my mom I have my
my friend Thomas. I also have my teacher here, Miss Pascal. They are all part of the reason why I got fired and especially my dad. And thanks to that, Chief, do you have any parts?
>> I just thank them. They're they're learning obviously and uh I I'm grateful for what you guys learn in school. Thank you. And uh this is the future of the fire
beant all the training positive outcome. may not think that it's important at the time. Thank you for the teaching and taking the time of your time. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. If I will, I just
want to let you know that all three of these students are from Morris County. >> Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanks. You're welcome to stay. You don't have to. Whatever you guys want. Yes, I have two quick things. One, I
want to say that since I want to seriously weather this out. Um the other discuss data center development has been a hot
topic recently and I wanted to speak tonight. Many of us grew up understanding a data center as essentially exclusive. The workload supported the typical internet activity of that time. Web hosting, shopping, bank transaction, storage. These facilities could
automatically replicate content to other data centers, giving you the comfort knowing that your data was safe and you not have to be afraid that your external hard drive, your wedding photos, children's baby photos turn off. While some had a large footprint, their infrastructure requirements were not.
The workloads of 10 20 years ago are not the same as today. Data center industry has undergone a fundamental transformation driven by the explosion of cloud computing with high performance clusters, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency mining and streaming media. The industry has moved almost
entirely towards facilities and they bear almost no. So what do they look like now? They're over 100,000 feet up to a million square feet for a large campus. And these new data centers have multiple issues plaguing the communities that are built
in. Some of which are 50 megawatt uh plus power which easily exceed park. Generators uh day one power needs not from utility provider and will be supplemented by diesel generators until that capacity is provided and then there
will remain on site back. water requirements which are hundreds of thousands of gallons if not millions depending on type and size that are required to keep that equipment full. Not only are can our wells not support this demand our sewer system process
waste water we have a shared service for township for water treatment and that system is notized to support >> uh some other things like noise you have your transporters which have a constant to them mostly
these are not well documented across the country's map faster plan reflects a vision of mixed commercial industrial and residential development that serves our community scale data centers are cate
when this use was removed in 2023 our planner confirmed that moving data centers would not be consistent with our master plan I recommend the council draft and deliver a memo to planning board requesting to review additional master plan and I'd like to make a
motion to draft and deliver such a memo it's already Council has time to Mr. ordinance. I looked at it, >> right? The definition itself is fully
important. Just because the process that took place back It doesn't specifically say either allowed or not allowed because it's not. You're saying that that assumes that it is not Is your position
right to go to the court justifications? changes coming to the industry and I felt like the location had too close to rescouses could potentially become data centers
and uh I think it was important that we changed because the fact that it's not a permitted only that's why anymore actually
however I do I do think that Mike's raising a good point in that is there anything else we can do in addition to the issues It's the heat of some of these parties
showing that six miles in its noise level up. and property value.
So in addition to not having wondering whether amending zone ordinance to actually prohibit it and then also as Mike suggested updating the master plan to affirmatively large
and may be more defensible than standard. So we were just wanted to have a discussion first of all there how do you all feel about data in the I've been proactive with this.
attorney. I have already That's I have that information specific that I'll share that. What was that? Just having that health discussion.
action by special Nobody here. >> So, so I uh I based on what you told us. Number one, I would like to see that. Um,
I'll just say personally, I don't think omission is good defense. I don't think that Not having something in a document and relying on the fact that it's going to be hard for them to make
a good defense, especially with um you know, no offense to attorneys, but you know, any attorney worth, right? So, I think it's a better idea, my opinion, it's a better idea to be proactive about it, to take uh you know,
active action. I actually like Mr. You have to be inconsistent. So I think that we could do more. I think I do think that the step they took in 2023
first direction, but I do think now because that it makes more sense to be more proactive. happy to, you know, talk to the attorney, happy to have, you know, anybody here to speak about
what's going on. Um, but I just I think we need to be more proactive. It's not your point, but my point is instead of presuming things, let's take direct and specific action and say state that we do
not So that that's my >> I mean I'd likebody from our profession right We're talking from a landb It's not so
specified variance is difficult to get >> variance is very it's difficult to get because whenever an satisfy as well. Normally you just have to satisfy
to show that the relief can also be I know it sounds easy and then in connection with the voting It's not just also fast put in the ordinance itself
just chime in you as Ire my neighborhood staring at maybe hearing all action going on over there. Um usually for things like this I consult my brother successful abuse attorney that they represent big companies to get
things like variances which are hard. Um he said kind of like what John said it would be very hard to turn it down. Um but I think if there is something we can do to sort of
sharpen the teeth I guess Jason said maybe we're missing something but I agree. John maybe a little bit better that it's it's not a permitted use but again there is something we can do in addition to bolster
that is a possibility Right. Right. >> Okay. But if there is something approach far There was a building department. So, so I think I think the point there is
that people are asking, right? So, I think that Mr. Thank you for explaining it. But I I still do believe that is better than not having master plan
still. has more ever. >> I just worry that these come in with billions of dollars. So I guess for me is wondering what is it worth?
I don't really see the positive data. So if you want to hear what people were saying on um I guess I'm not sure why that would be something you would want to hear. with what you meant. I thought you were
trying to say you want to hear both sides. >> Oh, okay. Maybe there was something I was missing from the research that I've done too. So I would be in support of doing whatever we can to prevent this from
happening. Also a person all day long. So >> yeah, but anyway I'm in support of this. I don't think anyone question is for us
districts that are fully assessed fully for I was just going to say I've spoken with a couple commercial aents. rent out warehouses like that and according to them the way that the warehouses are set up
to sound negative will be kind of part way the whole building I know a couple it I'm hopeful we get a good in there but from what I'm hearing the layout is
a little challenging so it means that a while to find that information to reinforce our vision. So, two things bring up the first thing
at the uh building down to people. Um and uh When it gets busy over there with one person takes off with one person that's there
and somebody's on vacation and then that person has to leave early. Um so like I said we had a parttime person over there business just as an example some of the functions
they do over Obviously all the paperwork um they have to do the file they have to go up and down all the permits that come in they have to handle all those phones
they have to do all the administrative meeting requests that come in just a few storms, right? And so one person there to do all that right now person
might be my It's a little bit functioning department. So I think offloading that to the proper department would help some of that. So just want to council
business temporary partition Slow down. So when I was over there when was I was over there with Sue and they specifically had these
requested meeting the first At least first of all should be evaluated,000. easier, right? It's not all the time. >> This is why I'm asking
the number one hurdle finance office. offices down your what I'm trying to establish is all the work that they're doing at the building
They need my first discuss. This again your position. >> So I agree on the budget concern. As far as godlers go out to a site with a tablet, they input the data from the job that they're
looking at directly into the system and it does not have to be pre-entered But we do not provide our tablets. So there are still out there on paper bringing it back to us and they have to
input it into the system after so one's by the inspector and one's by the office. So their workload has not been reduced by SDL because we did not provide >> but they don't need to provide them with
like You should check that if you're not inspect. I don't know. I'm not sure. So, so that to me is a question. My concern
is that when somebody's on vacation and let's say the other person's in the office and uh they have to go do an open request down the basement, they have to lock the door
to that's concerned. That's not that's not they have to go across the street whatever there's nobody in that office there's no one there that's not so we do need to talk about
what solutions I'll use another It's not the only objection to Other than the objection does not work. I don't know. >> But you said that she left on her own.
So Glenn was temporary class. because >> a situation that's been talked about for 10 years, right? the council or US mayor. It was just until
it sounds like it never was. >> It does sound like I appreciate with those two ladies. Um it sounds like they're feeling frustrated and not so hopefully maybe we
can all work with them to say >> yeah we do have time conraints on things they have to turn around too on vacation and Yeah, sure. I listened to focus on doing that. when they're doing that.
So it was Monday and we had one person over there and she was trying to get people try to answer the phones request all the paperwork. get everything. It's an ongoing thing. It's not like a
specific day. It's one thing. >> Sure. Any understand? >> Okay. You multiply. >> I just have one more question. from the town who gets the staff complain that the building has been
empty or that they haven't been able to get on time issues notific Typically I haven't over there whenever they twice the last two weeks
like I said I haven't heard of any complaints but I don't think that's >> I don't want to wait to then take action. >> I disagree. We have
heard from the I don't want to wait until the public comes up here and then respond. I think that is I think we need to proactive and do something about it so that we don't have the service to the public attention to
the meeting last year and a half some of the lack of action we taken as a result right so I I I think that we need to be proactive as council and do things that are in favor of the public and I think this
is one of the things I do have one other thing. I'm going to bring this up in new business, but just uh so that um as I mentioned last meeting, um I'd like to bring forward an item
system no longer no longer supportation public live streaming for the recording. Um we prepared a detail for full systems, microphones, cameras, camera switching,
upgrading recording capabilities because this procurement qualifies under New Jersey purchasing law and I spoke to Anna about this meeting today. We can solicit directly for holding an active New Jersey T1466
for contract formal public process. Um, and then what I'll ask for tonight uh during the new business section is the council support to move forward authorizers that bring the results back to the
council for review. Uh, no funds will be committed tonight. Uh, this is simply ob One more thing also requests that we've been getting. There's been a movement in Mars County to implement something called a quiet
summer initiative which is a voluntary initiative as ers and landscapers to pause until September. The purpose is to reduce noise and air while building out
during the summer months. The idea is to encourage people to use electric. So this would not be something. It would not be punitive. It would just be to educate people about
uh better ways to enjoy our our homes and properties during the summer months and to not our neighbors home or babies. So, uh the team is just looking for your
support to educate the public about this quiet summer initiative in a soft way. Objections. Objection questions. So this would be to gas
>> encourage just to educate people about why you shouldn't do that and what your other um you know I think there is a perception that you catch your grasp of what is bad and
I'm a little confused. I don't >> Well, good question. They would be using our uh communication media to promote this initiative. So, our email >> just to say that there's this initiative
called summer and this is what it is. My bigger concern would just be you know trying to get rid of gas operated things at the moment right now and it's a huge issue over there
is going to start to try to cul to put it in. >> Not necessarily. So there are towns that have passed the ban. It's very controversial. That's the recognition that we have. We have
support and not that I know who have business prohibited they had to purchase all the equ This is cost prohibitive for some of these small businesses. So that would not be the objective right
now until the market changes things or just state. It is a health problem. It is a noise problem. So are we going to ban it? We have no small the island market.
Say that next year. don't really realize that they're up at 5:00. Please across. I brought up last at this point. Not allow. >> I think my response last time was
considerate. council decision that members of the public so that we would be the community without You should not. So that was part of the council
it could >> I mean be interested in your last group and we can over the other Sorry.
>> Right. So have an issue with it has time to operate. So that's optional. So I don't know whe Second bullet point. any public sidewalk public
sports. The next section from school to the The intent is that you can't ride your scooter on the grass. We don't want anybody not to get across.
I know I'm really getting into a little bit of clarification. >> Is that something you'd be able to I've looked over this last request. I think this is going to be also >> there's a provision in here and I spent a lot of time talking about
this education as part of this whole process. There's also so just to kind of summarize a little bit July 19th but chief I believe we discussed taking from July through September it's an
education that effectively period because that officid proactively providing education but also This is something. I guess my question to the rest of
is there anything that substantially My main concern. So >> righties would have to be added but that doesn't change to It's general.
I don't know. However, 98 come October. always. What happened? Well, that's Just just to clarify the ordinance
itself is not the ordinance itself would take effect. It takes effect the chief and I had discussed as a matter of education right was was providing up to the
discretion providing grace period for you know people that in the instance that you're bringing up if something were egregious violation or something to happen the ordinance would be in effect and they can take full
whatever they need to do to uh to enforce the ordinance I'll just remind you that the state law that is going to get passed does not it's a general But it the reason that we are doing this
is because it doesn't go down to the level that we think is needed to keep the residents of that's why this is important and I would say it's important to get it in July when
the issue is covered Title 39. >> I asked it. >> I mean, yeah. And what we do in other words concern somebody not just
I think the guess is as July 19 forward if somebody were to get there. We're talking about families, but really where this is coming from a matter of public res, but there are no laws in place.
Yes, there's a lot of other things in here that cover a lot of bases, but the ultimate goals and the business owners, anybody that comes through >> questionever. prohibit
you said be a separate So the presumption that every witness There are some however specific. So, you're definely good guy.
I wouldn't tie this up. I think just to state the highest value in this ordinance. It's under section battery violation,000 less than
I would I think as long as it doesn't exceed everything. What I would suggest is that we are going to discuss B1 which does say option whether or not
out first. Likewise, we can actually just for purposes of So people understand what section is one operating
hours entrances entry points. So the question on the table is whether or not that as a uh as written or whether we want to strengthen
it would say that anybody under 18 can't be riding a scooter between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. question is the need that I
think 14 of the All I can say is additional license is Also, >> there's nothing
legislation. I mean that's covered under half hour before and after. is a time for anybody. Yeah. >> Single headlamp on profile operation.
There's other concerns process. problem. I see >> the 11:00 curfew though for driver If you are working
>> there are religious workers that liability 11 back during the day like daylight hours of This is a special way under the age of 18 can't operate
between 10 schools. We do 11. Sure. >> Again, I'm more concerned about sunsets after summer. You're talking
like 11:00. It's less about the hours being a certain time of individ All fourset about half hour after sunrise. So do we do we want to
we want to modify we want to heard it from 10 to 11 but then your That's why we can change it. The way you just I think
I hear what everyone's saying and I appreciate it. I just don't love being told but I do not do I'm just trying to keep
it more sense to do because we think that's going to be more acceptable. I just again this comes from place of concerns Friday night just
like I said just to clarify keeping it in removing optional deciding on >> correct no longer optional hours. Can she go at
>> your concerny old child? at the greatest time anyway or wherever from a friend's
expect as a driver when I see a scooter. As you said, it's low profile. You don't see I also have a comfort disfort That's the easy As far as the mayor pointing out You pointed out
I believe second I servicesational. So I guess you're saying the courts are not services. >> That's my point. Not that it's their fault. I think a lot I thought it was excellent. I thought it
was detailed. A lot of complaints that I've heard about people coming out of sed just to clarify right section property number
council may um by resolution designate specific designate specific passific areas. I would say I would. So I think this is a resolution already
know. >> But I think that by doing it by resolution um allows for us in future if there are other areas that want We can do that.
>> But I think if we capture some right now driving, right? Yeah, I'm not really sure those are going exist as a lot and to hold it back to Ignanti it's complete and it accomplishes the
goals we want and then we can at a later date even next meeting we can add other research Right. And that's why I don't think >> no substantial in terms of not
since we talked about it's a good discussion. I would say at least we already covered a lot of parts. No, nothing is trying to find
our use of some type of form of vehicles or services that she's talking about. that in
our own So I mean again I appreciate your input but you also want to add specifics at this point I think it's a little point of trying
So that when police department goes out and provides this education, they're doing it as opposed to having to enact laws and then wait a month, two months after
to understand frankly I think it's a little difficult. But I think that generally at least there's some of these things that we already know about What's it all?
>> All right. >> I want to clarify things. So, I know you're saying specific pass, but I know you I just have one question also with section.
Um, so what are the kids doing who we're walking district? So many kids ride scooters just like you said your daughter does. There are tons of kids who go up that way to ride home every single day. So they're not allowed on
the sidewalk with their bikes. >> No, no. I'm just concerned because a lot of these kids, my son, he wants to ride a scooter. I would So going for this
only business and Jernh 12y old riding on roadever. Correct. >> Yep. That's >> okay. >> That's exactly what it say. So this

I want to personally thank every single crossing guard for their hard work and ensuring our kids stay safe every day throughout the year. Thank you. The police department has grown with the
current schedule and the addition of the traffic unit. The burrow now has a need for another leadership position and six sergeant. The ordinance will be read later tonight that will do just that. It will amend the current five sergeants and allow the bureau to promote six sergeant. Family days coming up on June

town along with few other topics that have been coming up to discuss. Um, I was going to talk a little bit about the ebike scooter ordinance, but y'all learned a lot. He wants to talk about it. But I did I did get to work on that with him
tonight. I fire prevention. Chris inspected 12 new apartments so far this month. He's preparing the permit for the fireworks on family day. He was also two times to assist with mutual aid in the Morris County Fire Marshall Office of

Um on the fire department front, uh still waiting for the new apparatus from what I'm told that you know soon seems to be the word that we're getting. I know they're out of training exercises most recently. I saw the other night averaging about a call a day, a little

burrow front lawn to some of the burrow students from beyond differences. I know we spoke a little bit with them about what pride meant to them and just had some good conversations and it was really fun day to be out there and representing the burrow. Was also happy to catch the end of the eighth grade
mock trial that was held here at Bur Hall signed over by our own judge Carluchi was my second year getting to see this and the kids are really impressive. Definitely think we've got some future litigators, attorneys in our future here.

um lastly I would like to again say already mentioned before but the prize myself and chief out there do that every year
to the community especially in the community. I did ask one of the students what prime meant to them and their response was simply um and then of course congrats to the 2026 graduates. My daughter graduated
last night out of her own school now got high schoolers and the high school graduates tonight. So that's it. Just for the record, our truck
23 years almost Moving on. Can I just ask you a quick question? Where were they? I think we have an ordinance that prohibits We have
something that >> right? at the time of new opportunity for business. So that's the reason why we had because it was a big it was alreadyow.
then it's just not usually the other >> council office. A little confused. >> Yes, defense. You are correct. We've now entered year two of defense taking care
of as As far as I know, made somebody about this issue. Two years have passed since I first sit. Um, we've had multiple conversations. Several unfulfilled promises and yet
somehow here again talking about the exact same as if it's an unsolvable engineer challenge. At this point, this has gone beyond ridiculous. And I've expecting the fence to be repaired
anytime, not ever. I just wanted to state on record that I'm just amazed that the complete refusal of town officials to follow through for something so I fully understand that in the big
picture issues, my issue was very minor. What's not minor is a message that it is sending to the public that watches it because today it's my issue of enforcement being blatantly ignored and tomorrow could easily any one of us and
any of their concerns that all of a sudden ordinances become flexible property maintenance requirements are suggestions becomes optional. It just depends on the property owners in question.
Uh to be blunt from my perspective, this makes the leadership of our town both extremely selective and accountability has left on the ordinance and more on who is sitting on the other side of it. I don't know whether this property owner
has influence or leverage over you or he just simply knows that nobody intends to hold him accountable but whatever is going on is not your fault. And I can say complete confidence that
that rotted fence collapsing, if it was collapsing in your backyard with boards falling over, rusty nails sticking out into your property, it would have been addressed and fixed years ago. I think every resident, every business,
every property owner should be expected to follow the same ordinances without endless delays for exception. Equal enforcement shouldn't depend on who you know. It should just simply be the sample.
This is >> I have never metal in my life. contence and he told that that's not part of the demolition situation that I understand this
two years. You're the man. >> I don't understand what's going on with whoever's supposed to enforce these rules and the zoning or whatever offices
just unacceptable. I know if it was at your house or probably anybody's house, it would it would have been taken care of. To me, I feel feel like it's a retaliation somehow. And I did absolutely nothing. I've lived in my
house for over 30 years, pay my taxes, I mind my business, and yet I have to deal with a bit of fence that is half now non-existent. And the ones that are standing up, the panels are standing up, have a rusty
fence that go into my yard. So, myself or anybody my house falls into that fence. Guess who's going to be sued? Not only the property owner, but the town because they know this is going on.
So, I I just I'm beyond words that a simple fence cannot be replaced and this guy is just do whatever he wants. I doubt that >> question about
what leadership enforce Does he have authorities where penalties are authorization? years. >> This is not like a thing that I asked
last month, you know, question. So, you know, we see a clear violation understand. >> My six-year-old neighbor asked my husband last week when he saw him outside. He said, "Why aren't you
getting your fence fixed? Why is it all down and my husband said, "You know, it's not our fence." I told him he should have just said, "Why don't you call the mayor and ask him?" Because we've asked numerous times. I mean,
I don't want to have a battle with my neighbors. I've lived for, as I said, over 30 years in harmony with everybody in my neighborhood. And then all of a sudden, this and this was the fence was falling down long before the McDonald's situation.
And we never complained because we were trying to be good and hardship. I still never met them. But the fact of the matter is now it's almost feeling like it's a retaliation.
because of the appeal. That's what I perceive and many other people have come up to me and perceived the same situation. Um I don't know I'm beyond words what else
I can do after keep on repeating the same things maybe add a little extra but I mean a fine to them is any
Maybe ordinances should be changed so that when you get an initial and you get two weeks to rectify it, then it's then it's going to be approved or you know every day or whatever that I don't know what the answer is.
>> And they fixed half the two years ago and then just decided Okay. Usually what happens back to So, so that's actually built into that. I just want you to know >> your issue is more enforcement and I
understand because it's been sitting there and it's not been fixed. He told me two months ago that it was the first he was ever hearing which is ridiculous. I know
I sent email covered all bases. So to sit there in a meeting and tell me it was the first hearing of it ridiculous. But the fact is he's never I know he went over there and looked at
the entire property as a hole that standing and my backyard I'm at a loss of what to say but think about it for the So Steve Washington,
>> can I ask question? >> Sure. Sure. >> All right. So first um my comment on that is please be as forward thinking and clear and delineate. think out. I travel through Kennwood,
New Jersey on my way to work every day. Uh that community is probably pretty devastated as what's going up there. Um not just the data center itself, but the surrounding communities holes that are going up. It's it's pretty ugly but
slightly unfortun delineate between control and >> yes it goes between different etc. And then in those example,
Yeah. So I guess my my position would be to think that there's delination between throttle control because as an eer there is a significant difference and the danger say
is not throttle control meaning that you can sit there and go with a push of thumb. Whereas without it being controlled, you physically have to pedal to have that kick in. You stop
class two versus three that are throttle type vehicle. So the class vehicle like insurance assisted insurance
technically. So there is two questions that are more experiments. Um I ride my bike kids sit on the back. I use that to transport kids to practices around town.
If I were to from my house in Washington travel down to Simon's Park under the ordinance, would I be allowed to ride that bike across the soccer field? Okay. Because right now what we
typically do is come from the larger parking area on travel further down on the road off the road and get to the other corner of Simons by understand where this is coming from
ordinance coming from trying to do by saying don't ride your you know vehicle on grass parks. We don't want people that are not as responsible as you destroy grass selected who it applies to it doesn't
that's department but they're questioning either I guess west or east on same situation by um in the instance where there's congestion on the road and it's due to
parked cars, you know, two lanes of traffic going back and forth and I move on to the sidewalk. What's the implication to that? >> So, I'm going to defer to the chief on this because it's really up to his officer. >> Yeah, that's our prohibiting those
because traffic had several nearly points that are riding care. Yeah, I guess my question is driven by safety in the moment where if I'm
traveling on Franklin says 202, >> right? and there's car traffic that I make a decision to ride for a section of Franklin sidewalk to avoid the congestion maintained.
Okay. So I would be in violation of the ordinance if my own safety moved. However, you know, my child is not saying that that couldn't happen.
>> Right. Right. I just wanted just to understand the state laws. we look at this, right? We actually deliberated on a lot of the things that you talked about and I think that we made a decision to kind
of do a law that would allow the officers to enforce it where necessary, but also have discretion. And I think the case you're describing would be one of discretion. I don't want people thinking they have to put themselves in an unsafe
position because of what says absolutely not. Obviously safety is the number one thing we're trying to do here. There's a lot of things. So I just I just want to understand that obviously you don't want to put yourself
I wanted to scroll back few hours talk about the data centers. Um I wanted to confirm that it truly is a hot topic for people in town. A lot of people are concerned about data enters all over the
news. So people care and will watch what it's done here. Um I heard that a D1 extremely hard to get but not impossible. I heard that the
board of adjustment the council is the policy making body. So it seems to me if it seems duplicative I did not hear a downside to putting it there but I didn't hear that and there
are companies coming with many millions of dollars. So any protection that we Lastly, thank you for the discussion. Thank you, Mayor Duss
from our professionals with the council. Hope you all share it with the public transparency discussion on such an important topic. all the way down. >> Yeah. Which means I walk the
We actually question how ordinance is You're talking about tonight and how you're going to read it tonight. Is there a place before
I'll let John explain the entire butcess tonight. Purpose of that second prior
it's It's not what happens. So by posting notice by putting it out there will get out and say ladies and gentlemen this is my concern
and you'll see tonight but you you'll get a chance to read first. That's right. >> So, but just to that to that note, right, you don't have to wait July meeting you concerns
you've alreadyach quite frankly um you know what we did tonight was important >> but we'd like to try to get a lot of that stuff done beforehand so that there's any what we talked about was
So if we don't anticipate there's time to however you or any member of the public bring something up and council discusses it'll be fix

department I am going to take some take I'll take some time maybe Mr. Mayor you and I can meet with the folks over there we can discuss more in depth about what the needs are there.
