doing fine so uh pretty busy couple weeks as usual um I had the opportunity to meet with cret again the fire prevention Chief uh as mentioned the last meeting he started his new hours uh pretty much every day that he's in at 7:30 he has been able to start inspections at 8:00 a.m. so that's
fantastic um he's not here tonight they're at a a radio meeting at the up at the Academy learning about count and on all the radios between everybody he did give me his report in January he was actually able to do 82 inspections which generated
$635 of revenue for the township so that's fantastic uh he also gave me his budget which we started to look at not too too different from last year but uh being my first year as liaison just kind of got me comfortable with it and learning some of the ins and outs of that on the fire department front I had
the opportunity again to meet with Chief Rango and Mark the ladder truck is back and in the firehouse that was the one truck that I was not able to see last time so I got an impressive tour of that and really some cool vehicles I will say that um so that was really interesting
we started talking about how he uses that for shared surfaces and with other towns we did go over the budget thoroughly which again was really great for me to get to learn and understand that a little bit we also started talking about capital budget and some of the big expenses that'll be coming up
this year um you know one of the bigger things there's a one of the fire trucks is older so you know what do we do on that front um and I'll let Chief Ronco come up at the end and and speak as well the courts uh unfortunately I had something come up this week so I was not
able to be here for the live court day but I'm going to meet with judge carluchi to learn a little bit more about that as Li liaison and see what I can be doing to you know help them out and be supportive as usual um police front uh met with Chief kraski as usual
uh we extended uh the offer that we had already hired the officer Ericson which is fantastic he was put on notice that we may have an officer transferring so the good news is both police officer candidates that we interviewed were fantastic so we were able to vote and
approve um a conditional offer to the Second Officer so we will not ideally have you know an officer down let's see um I did get the report uh from Chief kraski as of 210 we had a conceptual plans committee where Dave
Schultz again uh did a very impressive presentation on do we renovate this building do we build a building offsite mayor Carr was able to be there he essentially recommended um for us to re-engage the museal group and to get a third you know rendering or drawing of
what a different renovation here at this building could could look like to give us a couple more options as well um and kind of start as the transportation and traffic committee chair you know started some conversations about ideally trying to work with the do on some of the upcoming
projects and ideally incorporating some of these complete streets initiatives that we're starting to think about and talk about and try to have a loose form of that in place at some point this year so moving forward on all fronts and um I think that's it for me but if Chief K or
chief Rango want to come up that's great uh thank you yeah I'm going to reserve a lot of my time for my pleasure presentation I'll be I'll be quick and brief and get us out of here in a Tim with fashion but um I did want to thank the council for their quick action on hiring Jake and
I'll call him Jake until I can say his last name properly um but yeah we had the a pending uh lateral transfer to another agency so the council having met both candidates was uh very quick and acting and and bringing in Jake and I'm sure he'll be a great addition to the
agency once they both graduate uh uh in later in this year in June um our deer call closed um final count is 10 female and five me five Mal so hopefully that uh reduces some of the damage to
resident property and vehicle collisions associated with deer incident so that's all I have Chief thank you uh good evening all basically not much going on the L like Tyler said the ladder truck came back

apprciate we got it done so appreciate it um all right so um just some notes here so I know some residents uh the last meeting had questions about some of the ordinances in town um so I've met with my committee um and we're going to look
into a few of the ordinances uh for some outdated definitions uh specifically uh some of the ordinances we're looking at are uh 14-23 which is uh involves a developments ordinance 1 2016 which involves room and board uh 12
2019 which involves Frontage and then ordinance 9 2003 which involves fire fire prevention um so uh we're going to going to review the latest ones with our planner LZ leini um and the fire prevention one with fire mushroom chis Shay
um and then at a meeting in in March I plan to bring these to the council for review so um uh Construction office update um so our office collected $859 in permit fees uh there were 49
certificates issued and 49 permits pulled the 49 certificates were for CA construction Administration which means the engineer planner inspectors and all are following up on the work 48 permits were for alterations to existing properties one permit was for demolition
uh we had no properties sold and no new properties purchased in January of 2025 uh of the seven part-time inspectors that we have they completed 154 inspections in January of 2025 48 were Building 43 were electrical 49 were
plumbing and 14 were fire inspections um one of the the clks over there is taking what's called a taco course which is a technical assistant for construction officials uh it's an online course it's necessary for our cours to properly support the inspectors
planers and engineers in their jobs uh I also met with uh Bill Conor as the head of the department over there about his budget as well made some good conversation um and some good budget planning um on digitizing
documentation uh again met with B Conor met a few companies um about digitizing all of our permit and plans uh the goal there is to make sure that all our documents comply with New Jersey Department of Treasury guidance and additionally make all of our permits plans and documents easily searchable by
the people in the office and the public um let's see uh the process is going to take a few months uh once we've selected a vendor we're currently upating quotes which I'll bring back to the council for review at a future meeting uh planning board update uh so
planning board had their monthly meeting February 10th uh Steve aen bck marann ster and Andrew wolf were appointed to the minor site plan committee um just for those those that don't know the minor committee reviews and approves smaller less complex development proposals which typically involves
modifications to existing buildings are relatively small new construction projects and usually do not require full sight plan review by the full planning board um uh let's see then uh John bezold Ron Kelly Mike gagley and myself were
appointing to the master plan committee also includes the mayor our planner Liz leaney and our engineer Bill Ryden um and the master play uh master plan committee is responsible for managing the development and updates of a master plan which outlines the community's goals policies and vision for land use
and infrastructure um planning board also approved uh resolution 256 which adopts the amendment to the open space and Recreation plan this essentially just updates our open space inventory which includes areas like parks and uh some
other lands um there was uh let's see we reviewed uh an application for completeness de to complete um we also had a public hearing on application pb3 24 which is Crossings 10 out for phase two which consists of a three story
structure with retail and first floor and Self Storage on the upper two floors this will be where the parking lot is currently as enter from Johnson Road off to the left uh the application was deem complete there uh the next pling board meeting is going to be Monday March 17th at 7:30 p.m. here this room uh the
zoning board has their monthly meeting actually February 24th here in this room uh and on the agenda uh there are two applications for private residences which will be memorialized I met with uh our checklist committee um which is myself uh Bill
Ryden who's our engineer Dave Schultz who's the chair of the planning board and Mike a vagley is the chair chair of the the um I'm sorry Dave Schultz chair of the zoning board and Mike a vagley is chair of the planning board um we had our first meeting uh Friday February 7th we're meeting monthly to review and
update the checklist um the checklists are used to determine if an application is complete and meets the requirements for the planning board or zoning board has not been updated since 2019 um some of the things we're looking to do are allow the engineer and planner to do completeness reviews the applicant
before the application comes to respective boards reviewing and possibly reducing the amount of waivers that are needed making it easier for residents to submit a simplified checklist as they don't have the same variance requirements that commercial property would uh making the forms online fillable PDFs that are easier and
simpler to use and creating a paperless format where most of the forms are electronic or Allowed by Statute uh smcmua update uh they're continuing to do utility work Monday to friday30 to 4 the exception of holidays
um the week of February 18th to the 21st uh they installed a new water man on Maple Avenue and they're testing the newly installed water man Styles uh they also installed a new water man on hawthor Avenue when they're testing the newly installed water M on Birch Drive next week they'll be over on Styles and Birch and they'll start doing service
line transfers um and then just uh on a uh training update uh so uh I've signed up for an online course of records and the powers and duties of Municipal governing body
it's a six-hour seminar that provides governing body members with an overview of municipal government and the multitude of challenges affecting its efficient timely and ethical operations this what it says um so the program is specifically designed to address the needs and interest of elected officials serving their respective communities so
I look forward to uh to joining that class um it's going to be good good good education for me and then just um just on a general comment um Don SLA who's our zoning officer over there on Monday he will be celebrating his 87th birthday

this is self-explanatory just making a full-time position for a maintenance person for uh the burrow building municipal building the annex 555 community center team Center Consolidated two positions into one we have no resolutions we have no
unfinished business we do have new business why don't we start with the chief Koski couple minute overview of your budget visual learner so thanks Chief you have one for yourself I
do I Le the going take me two minutes can I use you as my a specialist she's going te you say no I'm going to stand this will cost you an item in the budget you know I double-sided the prince I saved
one no ST and no staple staple staple that's not going to make up any [Music] difference that's good should have pled the chief Rong all good let's try this
again for the first time all right so really what I did is just created a quick overview of the major lines that uh Drive the police department budget um probably the largest budget in the B right
so you could help yes so I thought it would be prudent to start with a overview of where we really formulate our budget from um it started with a strategic budget plan in 2022 that the council asked us to create so a
lot of the last couple years budgets are really driven by um my budget request for the last couple years that you know we formulated this plan and we wanted to see where we'd be F years out and actually next year ends our 5 years treg plan cycle so it started with priority
number one which is Staffing and uh We've added a class three police officer and then supplemented with patol officers so go ahead next there we go look at that animation um priority number two was our headquarters municipal building construction we're in progress with that now um there is as
you will see my capital budget request 2025 capital budget request for a more in-depth detailed feasibility study prior number three is our equipment we have a brand new outut test instrument instrument that's mandated by the state for testing of intoxicated
drivers that was funded through State DDF and Municipal funds we have an alpr project that uh covers three intersections top secret we can't tell you where they are but it helps us with our criminal investigations and there's a 2025 capital budget request to add an additional and an intersection where
we're seeing some issues our body War camera project for strategic plan is on Pace for our 2026 capital budget request it's a 5year project that buy War cameras and actually coming up expenditure end of life in 2026 we had anticipated a
Firearms upgrade our current Firearms are from 2017 which are getting significantly old when compar them to newer generation Farms we're going to pass that off to another year consideration of the training that would be required to get that accomplished and then the upgrade of our headquarters cameras at are nearing end of life and
would' be put into pass that on to additional future time when we maybe have some renovation headquarters and you there some new corners and what have you that we have to cover okay next please so what I thought would be good and beneficial for you all to see is a 2025 to 2024 comparison of our
operational budget so salaries and wages obviously one of the biggest drivers for our budget um but we were invested in adding a police officer Council saw the need for that and we did that so that's the increase that's requested in that line office machines and Technology is
really our one of our largest lines um in the previous three years we had Set uh seen some cost savings because I bought multi-year plans on some of the contracts um our data plans uh our radar signs uh our social media archival which is now a recommended best practice since
we have Facebook and Instagram we have to Archive those for opal requests so um that's in that budget as well uh below that is the equipment again a slight increase there uh last year was funded at around $2,000 um and this is where our mdts for
the mobile data termin is and their police cars uh the data that translate data back and forth from the communications center to the state NC computers it's a vehicle GPS that helps with Fleet Maintenance and officer safety knowing where our vehicles are at all times uh and then our department cell phones and the alpr cameras that we
have at intersections all have modems obviously no internet connections aren't free so we have to pay for all that so next crime prevention not again one one of our largest um it's only funded at $8,000 but it's one of our nicest lines that I like to
spend the operational money on our things like coffee with the cop our lead program our annual National Night Out uh got a reference con with a cop or Lieutenant M would not let me leave his room that's one his favorite events um jumping down the uniforms again a fairly large expenditure to out outfit all of
our officers with the Emergency Equipment the uniforms that they wear on a daily basis and that covers our civilian staff and our crossing guards and our matrons as well um and that is really covered contractually with the PV agreement that their annual allowances up to $950 for wear and ton uniforms and
then in addition to that with our Centennial coming up as a mayor mentioned earlier in this evening we're looking to do an anniversary uh 100 anniversary badge for the bar that the officers will uh wear in recognition of the the bur's 100 anniversary they'll wear that all year long body armor
obviously a very critical piece to our Law Enforcement Officers they don't leave the building without it that uh piece of equipment expires every five years so each uh cycle I look at how many vets are expiring and we funded that amount thankfully we get state and federal funding that helps us recoup
some of the items uh the funding for that next new cars we're on a rotational program with all our Patrol Vehicles we generally replace one vehicle a year the wear and tear on brakes and mileage and um really we're looking at engine hours
on these cars because some of them run 247 so um we do a lot of maintenance on those as you'll see in the next couple of lines but uh last year we placed two vehicles actually this year we're looking to replace one of the vehicles that's well over 100,000 miles on it and that budget
item is there at about $58,000 with light Sirens you know super nuts in the patrol vehicle uh dispatch Services obviously everybody liks to pick up the phone and when they need it call for emergency services it covers dispatch for our fire department our EMS Partners the PDA as well as 911 so that
annual fee actually decreas this year I'm not going to ask why I like a decrease where we can save it we'll see again we're just waiting for the county to take that over across the whole County so we don't have the budget for that we talk to the county a little bit further about that absolutely but it
does cover our portable radios the incar radios and we share some of the radio responsibility with Morris t for the Morris M men uh vehicle maintenance we're seeing year-over-year constant increases in this line something our burrow mechanic is requested uh is to
purchase extend vehicle warranties on our three newest Vehicles which hopefully can do to start cutting down on some of these costs uh I'm a good Steward in ta tax PA dollars so I like to try and get us as close as possible you can see in 2024 we requested $25,000 and we're just shy of that total amount
so we're starting to see some increased uh timeout of service for vehicles that have to go back to uh Ford right there's not a lot of Maintenance that you can do on your own personal car now they all go back to the shop there's a lot of nooks and cranes and hidden compartments that they got to get into uh which sends the
delays for them to be returned to us but like I said those maintenance and labor costs are going up as well so uh one of the other lines that I control is the office of emergency management it's generally a relatively flat line since I became the chief of police we did a
small increase uh last year try and look at some civilians uh civilian Emergency Response Team membership we're still working on that program for one of the concepts that was brought to me one of by our uh Sergeant Hawkman actually now leading our Traffic Unit what happens when power goes out in the burrow we
have three Municipal owned traffic lights CO's drive and Stop and Shop which meets Littleton Road malaris along Litton Road and then America Road off East T of ravener when the power goes out to those traffic signals it causes disruptions to our staff because we have to man those intersections with people
directing traffic what will happen is Gen electric who controls those lights for us will install a generator switch $2,300 for each generator switch and then approximately $11,100 for a we can plug and play get the intersection up and running and detail
our staff the other needs and finally the 2025 capital budget request that's coming um we've been working on our renovation construction project for the last couple of years and trying to get us to uh some needed uh referment at our headquarters
uh the next uh working with Dave Schultz and the mus group is a detailed feasibility study getting down into really the nitty-gritty of this building uh renovation of where Outlets will grow how many phone jacks we need um Furniture needs the home line so it's a $200,000 investment which really come
off the top cost of that overall building refurbishment um we're looking as I said earlier to add a automated external defibrillator replacement our current aeds are 22 years old the new technology um is great where you don't have to switch pads and uh help us save
lives in critical moments that's a $133,000 investment in really the safety and our Emergency Medical Response to our residents we the first ones there on scene when CPR is in progress we have a variable Message Board in Speed trailer it's going to help us with our traffic
enforcement just a $117,000 investment and then additional Al alpr camera at an intersection in town we're having some container issues um looking actually to do cost sharing with uh uh some local Property Owners down at that intersection that might help us defay
some of that cost you have any questions or concerns like I said that's the major driving lines our budget um if you want to get into the minutia we can certainly do that any questions comments or concerns want take from Chief each each veh public each vehicle has an def right
yes each vehicle has an ad in it sopr alpr automatic License Plate Reader technology monitors with video reads license plates you find missing persons stolen vehicles um put out wanted alerts on vehicles and license plates for register owners or the vehicle
themselves and literally within an hour I think one up minutes right we get hits we get hits you know a dozen times a day on Stolen license plates missing persons uh wanted individuals so uh really great technology and really after the fact
when a crime happens in moris Planes uh there's enough gateways for us to cover a lot of the intersections and you know have it's done wonders for our solving of case ratio roughly how many different blers is that 13 Grand cover that's
six I may want to put one in from theu at Simons Park yeah that's the idea is to get those refurbished and then have them housed elsewhere in the bur another one of the community centers a little aging so Wonder we we can refurbish them get them and then you know get them to uh the
community center inside the gym for basketball and um you know 40 and 50 olds that play basketball now the other onid s could be with baseball life amen yeah sudden strikes with the baseball to the chest we've seen kids go down thankfully not
more Plains but we're actually you know training now a lot of our coaches we actually have a requests coming in from baseball to retra some of our coaches in CPR so we're invested in that as they make it a little bit more simple too right now real simple okay thank you Chief can you
share with me later the um the archiving for social media that you're because that that's come up with a couple of things I'm just curious about how that process is working and yeah absolutely we'll do bonus points for multimedia use
Chief not bad for a work thank you Chief very good doesn't like the lights go ahead I don't have any got to keep with that not a comp I have one we'll go that first
uh a big Capital request for the fire department this year purchase of a new 2025 Pierce P pumper it's going to repl a 27y old
engine right now uh this will be in order this year 36 month perod so three looking at almost three years before receiving this the price is going to you know
price is what it is and and it's going to go up last year was we first talked about was like 6 700,000 wait is this the that's order you already paid for
that you already paid for that uh we should be get yeah hopefully byend this will replacing one of our full size engines um it's going to increase our pump size we're getting a larger pump and we're getting
um more water how many gallons have th000 gallons of water you have what 500 now 500 on all water except for so we're we're increasing our water supply off the bat 500 to th000 and
that's a big that's a big concern of right now is our water supply in this municipality because the building going on I know the mayor's concerned about it too where we going to get the water I if we can get water stored on on
an apparatus at least get gets us a little more advanced and Harding took a little bit of our water too by every town is so that what I handed out was the uh letter from the the
sales the drawing of the engine itself it's going to be a why does it keep saying the price is going keep going up nothing goes down go down 2% a quarter 2% a quarter 8% a year so that's
I'm 1.1 million that's uh so that's going to be the big the big thing to Capital like I said the the is 27 years old now by the time we act on this this year by the time it comes in it's going to be another three 30 years
old hopefully it'll last that long hopefully nothing major will happen to and we're going take a little hit on ouro insurance rating but Chief what happens with whe places was it engine two or three four four
okay what happens with those do we engine four will be uh auction off or we can trade it um trade it in but you can still probably get we'll get more for that than uh the
ladder we just get rid because it's it's a more uh more wanted piece of equipment uh not for Frontline service so like a like a city will take that in no time put it in a reserve as a reserve
apparatus and don't run don't run it for another five years or whatever until they destroy it okay uh but we can get we get something for that yeah we'll def we'll definitely get something we auction yeah we'll definitely get the most yeah because
uh I don't want to you know keep my hopes up but the service manager down the dealership is like I already got that sold so wow yeah there's T there's big cities out looking for trucks like that okay they're
still I mean they have M Life they have maintenance that they can whatever they can do to it but like once the once the B computer goes on it 30 years old good luck it's going to be de we're
going uh the budget's pretty simple I went over it with Tyler today I do have to increase my maintenance budget just because the apparat is getting older we took on another uh vehicle for our Chiefs next
to the police department giving us one of their old vehicles it's running good uh testing I had to I had to increase because of the uh our lad our lad this
year 2025 since it's 5 years old has to go through a non-destructive test which they actually hook electricity up to it and check it for cracks uh that's a little more cost uh so that that's why and then that testing
we do everything from our gas meters that we use our our hose our ladders our pumps on the appas so cost of everything's going up so we're trying not to trying to do our
best so and training we we increase that a little bit just because we're going trying to do a little more Outreach stuff anybody has any questions just go over Capital really
quick this was operating you don't have salary it's free had some decreases in there Chief yeah I think all the budgets the fire department is always probably
PR's um I'm trying to be nice Chief it's all necessity stuff our air bottles that we wear in our SC packs um I need to purchase 15
and that's a big cost it's $20,400 cost um the reason we we do an air pack air pack takes two cylinders one one is on it all times and then you need a spare so you have we have 30 minute 30
minute bottles so what happens you go through 30 minutes which is really 20 minutes of operation then you come out switch that go back in for another 20 minutes that's how we operate and then that person sits out for rehab
for a little and then so by having the cylinders available we we could rotate members out so we need with the Min poer we're getting we'll have four new additional seats for airb so that's
eight bottles right there eight cylinders so that's eight that we don't have that we will need we have seven that to put on us so we're replacing seven that we that we don't have right now so there is a
need um we did upgrades to our portable radios years ago and we we talked about doing 10 a year we originally was 40 then we cut it down to 10 of year so that last 10 will be up for this year uh that's
going to be a 32,1 for 10 new radios so that'll give us that'll end in 40 that's connected into our our radio system in in the town those radio so that's going to give 40 active
members the communication that they need at all our calls and they can be used on mutal Aid because we do have County channels in there that'll work on the uh fire channels so Chief when I was in
public safety and you told me about the video that educated me and we had the older ones and I never forgot what you told me I'm not going to send my man in that fire without a good and you sold me now you're 100% you do you want to send your 18yearold
absolutely not and you know until I heard that you just don't understand the importance of it you think radio's a radio little walkie talkie but but not out of that caliber but I'm so happy to hear that our department is the best east of Mississippi as I said has has
top technology and another $1.1 million truck and and we got the pumper too 600,000 right so we're safe 400,000 46 464 465 you told me it was going to go up though it didn't thank God that one
okay thank God this one uh so trying to get the best deal on the radios that we can and they seem to be working great for us so keep them all the same that's why we're going with those can we get credit for any of the
old ones we donate them what do we do junk they give them to the new the kids to try them out or we can uh years I have to talk to Chris about that because he's he's up on the radio stuff so we're still making payments good with them no
no 20 30 years old thank you uh next item need some hose you know mini poer coming in I need hose for that so it's 15,000 that truck's also going to need radio
equipment that may go down that line I have to check with the county and see if they have another County radio that we can that they can install in that I know the last time I asked for a radio they said that they have one
left I don't know so we'll have to find out that but that price can go down and looking at two fully electric fans battery operated no cables no cords uh smaller put them
anywhere in the apparatus they cost 12,000 for that two of those um five sets of turnout gear for the newer guys that have come on full set of turnout GE Now is
$3,700 and that really only includes jacket pants and boots and rescue on the helmets the gloves hoods that aome that comes out of that's that'll be 18,500
that um what we have is uh we have these monitors basically nozzles that you can put on the ground hook a hose to turn it on walk away and they'll just they'll operate on their own and what we use
them for is we go to a defensive attack we have to come out houseu unsa to go in set these up and set them up we can also protect another building in adjacent building if it's the fire is approaching it you can set one there and
turn it on Let It Go uh we have one currently we just looking to get two more uh one for the mini pumper and one for the other engine to uh two moreal Imaging cameras that we use the
c000 5000 chap you're killing we need it I'm glad your report is over question great job thank you chief Kevin can I make it's 750 gallons on oh
7 Steve was was the chairman of that committee he made the good job he's passing the bu Steve what color what color what color going to be we know we know what color going to be
we know what color be Chief real quick what's the What's the total number of volunteers that are on fire dep right now total number of volunteers yeah can I give you a rough number yeah of course we probably between 75 and they're all
volunteer all the time it's amazing they don't all they're not all active they're not all ear they're on the rolls that's on the r no active we're looking at over 40 active so all volunteer
all 100% thank you Chief everybody scker shock right question is how do you lower that though so that's the question but we have we have Mike lomard chairman from
sh thank you sir thank you mely okay thank you Mike for that report appreciate that the best one i' I've had uh no I appreciate the time uh this
evening so what I shared with uh you all up here are a overview of what Shad Tre does um and kind of how our budget's aligned and this is something the other document that I know there's been
questions about this is the contract that we currently have with our current Forester um and this is a process that goes out to bid um and the Forester that we have is currently the lowest bidder this contract goes through 2026 and you
can see the cost increase per year on all the different uh line items of services uh that we have so I just want to start um for those that don't really know the shade tree we consist of five um members a
recording secretary and our Forester uh we work together with our forest to address any issues with Town trees as far as removal stump grinding and pruning uh fertilization deep water rooting are something we're going to
have to increase on more um in 2025 um our 2025 focus is going to be doubling and tripling the amount of trees that we planted to compensate for the tree loss that um council is it stated um and lastly we run a Arbor Day
program at Mountain School that provides uh tree saplings to the current students so um to save time I'll just kind of run through some of things um for we have a new business review each meeting where we review uh memos that
come in on level of importance anything that is um submitted by a town resident is an automatic priority uh level uh so that we could address any issues from the residents um then
um memos from the shry Commissioners uh each shry commission member is responsible for a Zone in the town we take the six zones in town and split it between the five of us um and it is up to us to bring to our meetings any
issues that we see with any of the Town trees um and then there's a section for the memos that the Forester brings uh to our attention while he's working in town he will um observe any problematic trees um our old Business Review uh takes
place on a review of a worksheet that we have a kind of a rolling uh list of trees um these are lower priority items that will be completed throughout the year as funding allows um just to highlight some of the costs and items
that we did in 2024 um our biggest cost is tree pruning we pruned 72 trees in 2024 uh for almost $9,000 uh 30 trees were removed close to
$30,000 22 trees were fertilized for 3,000 uh 17 stump removals um for 7,000 11 trees were planted uh for 6,400 and we have our Arbor Day program
that provided 216 tree saplings to students our total spend for 24 was 96,4 79 um I just allocated the top five areas that kind of cost us the most which is
the pruning uh tree removal um storm damage which includes Park maintenance new planting and stump removals so for 2025 um our budget request is as you see here 123
875 um below here just some of the things that we're working through through as what kind of goals that we want to have for 25 and our justification for our budget request increase uh currently in the town we have a very aging tree population the
majority of our trees are Oaks and Maples which are planted during the major development of the Town between the 50s and 70s and these trees typically have a 60 to 90 year lifespan so we're really getting to that end um
time period um in addition to that we have a couple tree diseases in town the ash bore tree disease uh there is a needle blight uh disease that impacts Evergreens and we're
expecting um tough conditions to come for our trees coming out of the extreme drought that we had this past summer um moving forward one of the focuses for this year will be the planting of new trees and I know
24 uh we only planted 11 trees um a lot of this is going back to we reach out to homeowners that have had trees removed um to have a tree replaced for them we get a very low um turnout of responses
for yes we have a 30% um fill rate back on that from residents so 70% don't want a n tree back so our plan this year is to plant in areas where we don't really need a
home owner to say yes or no um my goal this year is to plant 40 to 50 new trees uh to offset the tree loss that we've had and uh be proactive in an area which hasn't been addressed enough um as you
could see each new tree um costs $395 from our from our Nursery this includes the planting of the tree and two-year tree guarantee so if anything happens to the tree within the first two years of being planted they replace the
tree for us for free um as you could see the the cost what the cost would be to plant 40 and 50 trees um one of the things that I'm proud to taking forward is an increase in our town parks and Sally you mentioned uh kind of some of the areas
that that you see um the community community park is a big one um there are eight dead ash trees near the batting cage one actually already fell on the very close to the batting cage so this is a safety concern so um our ask would
be to remove all eight trees and replant eight trees back in their places to do a net zero impact you see that cost would be 9180 wung Park is another area of concern uh there's a pine tree along the
the row right by the playground that um needs to be replaced um and we'll have that tree currently removed and replaced with a new one uh there was a tree right along the pond that fell in one of the storms earlier in the winter month
that'll be removed uh that the stump will be removed and a new tree will be planted there there are six other pine trees in in that row along the playground that are struggling so our recommendation will be fertilization and
something that we really haven't used much uh in the burough at least was deep water root uh deep water deep root watering excuse me uh so they will come out multiple times and shoot water deeper into the ground they really
saturate into the roots um and in addition to this we'd like to add three new trees along the playground um to increase shade this is something that some general public um members have brought to our attention that they feel that there's not an adequate amount of
shade um while their children are playing at the playground you see that cost of 6167 um same thing kind of want to take that same Approach at Simon's Park and add a few more trees there uh to increase some shade one of the things
I'm really proud about wanting to do in 2025 is expand the Arbor Day program and include both of our schools in town and ensure that every student is able to receive a tree sapling um on Arbor Day
and be part of their Arbor Day program um I think that number is in the 800 each student I I think you may have to what I can say is uh
you know I'm a little disappointed that this some of this money wasn't allocated at the end of last year right by the council um just because you know some of that we can transfer some funds out of some of these other budget lines that
may have had some Surplus we'll say and could have done some of this work last year prior to an increase of uh 28,000 for $29,000 for this for this increase you
know we could have taken a big chunk out of it now you're starting behind the eight ball and now have to budget for $29,000 more of worth possibly right the counil that we had some of those funds last year so that's my comment
just it was available last year we could have done correct um and I know there's just some concern just like how um funding is allocated by shry and how how we're spending um we've really ramped up our
process to really scrutinize line by line on requests um so so far this year we've spent a little bit shy of $9,600 January was a larger month at uh 8,600 that was to kind of recuperate some of
the things we couldn't do November and December uh to your point May car U because we didn't get the additional funding that we had requested uh February was managed very tightly with just a few small projects um to be that were
done so um I've been on the council five years I've never seen a report at the end of the year showing what we've what sh Tre has done before this is the first time okay so um one of the issues I've had with SH Tre has been sort of a lack of
accountability for this money that they've been spending and increasing amounts I think that the budget compared to other municipalities in Morris County is extremely high um I did a I did an analysis of of shade tree budgets and
towns who don't have shade tree committees at all and I mean we're looking at chattur with with the similar square miles to Morris Plains spent $29,000 in 2024 allocated 29,000 for their budget for shade trade um Chester
18,000 they're they're about two square miles um so let's see L Hill Township 12 square miles $16,000 the ash trees are everywhere so the fact that we have ash trees that are dying I know other towns also have that
situation um so we were 96,000 let's see um Riverdale two square miles $2500 from your sh Tre budget now perhaps they take money from their Parks budget for some of this as well that we don't know because you can't tell by looking at the
public budget what what's happening with the money but you know the budget seems extremely high and I and I question the assessment of the risk so the shet tree board consists of five members and you're saying including a recording
secretary and a Forester but I think that's a misnomer because the Forester is actually our contractor who we pay to take our trees down so that that person should not be on the day as a board member making decisions about for which they'll be paid that's a conflict of
interest so the reason we did not approve any additional budget last year was because of this conflict of interest that we became aware of when the meetings started to be we're getting off the topic now a little bit but that's a that's a public bid that that they go
out to with a line item price on stuff so you know it's a vid process that that this contractor goes I agree with the contract I have no problem with the the contractor I have a problem with the contractor making decisions or
recommendations about trees there should be a separate person making a recommendation and approving with the committee that could be part of the committee that's paid but does not make any money from the decisions that are being made but the board makes the decisions right correct and and I will
address one of the concerns that you had the Forester no longer sits on the day as he sits here um and we are no longer Fielding uh recomend from him because I know there was the the concern from him driving around the
town making recommendations for things to to do so our focus is really on What the residents themselves call in or what us as the Sha tree brings forward for recommendation um and I and I will say we've done uh a lot of research into
other towns that don't have shet tree uh I completely agree I've seen the same figures that you have from those other towns uh from my understanding and speaking with a couple of the other towns uh everything kind of is Blended into a couple of other budgets where a
lot of them fall under kind of parks um so I understand your concern for the dollar figure so it sounds like you're saying that the shade tree commission approves all the requests but who on the shade tree commission has the expertise to determine whether a tree needs to be
pruned or taken down and there's accreditation that's required for that so that's something for 202 that we're looking into um which with at least two of us taking um certification classes so I know in other towns they
hire a separate arborist who is paid an hourly rate to evaluate whether a tree needs to be uh taken down because I think what we've done here is we've prioritized the risk over the benefit of trees in mors Plains over the past eight years since this
study was done in 2013 where their recommendation was that we need to come up with a no net loss planting project and maintain an inventory of the 400 trees that they received a grant for um and then the interim they were to maintain a database
of any newly planted trees in the burrow their priority there was in increasing the canopy of the burrow making sure we're protecting it but it seems that it's been prioritizing the risk that a tree might fall on somebody when that risk is below 100th of a percent I think
yeah again we're getting off topic here really but I think that's his policy really rather than talking about the budget I think that yeah right so it should be talking about the committee but the the spike and the need for trees was driven by the ashbo and and all the
time and energy and money went to that for four or five years right we're at the end of that now so but again this is policy really not not budget we're at the end of it but our budget keeps increasing anyway no you decreased the first what do you
have for the first quarter compared to last year, no no no the first quarter 2025 you spent 9,000 you said or correct last year you spent about 24 25 correct we've been really stringent on budget
management I know that was a I know that was a larger concern for Budget management and that's you know my my goal is to get a budget in line look if we have the the budget requests that um you know that I'm asking for if we could stay at the
24 budget if that's what it takes for this governing body for us to show you that we can be accountable within a budget um you know two months into into my role here but I'm really trying to ensure that we're not spending and
spending frivolously I see a lot of improvement um a lot of more accountability here than what we've seen in the last five years but I personally and I'm not speaking anyone else I would like to see budget money allocated for a separate person to evaluate the requests until such time as there's somebody on
the committee commission who has the proper credentials to evaluate these requests to um have that money allocated that way and then I will I will gladly sign any voucher for any trees that need to be taken down but my problem is the
lack of uh oversight of of the process and the decision I agree with Nancy I was on that for two years and I disagree with mayor's statement um towards the end of the year the committee would be asking for pring
and I would ask is that a safety issue why do we have to do it and it would be the same answer of oh we be behind budget in the following year you know so you don't know really what you're up against the following year so I don't know how we're going to be behind that but um yeah I like the idea but because
in no disrespect any on the committe we appre were be on it and volunteering but there was no one on there had any including myself what a tree looked like that was going to die was infected with carpenter ants you know whatever except for our Arbor they du so and and say
does a great job but it just seemed like he did drive the budget and I was there with the two years of AST AST as with they were de and possibly safety issues so I think like you said we kind at that end of the uh cycle there the 50 60 70
trees I mean how old do you think Pearl LW tree is 15 200 years old I don't think all these trees are going to be coming down just because they're 50 or 60 years old no and I'm not saying that they're going to be coming down this is just a concern that we have
moving forward um and the Pearl La tree is one that we do actively take care of more than some of the other ones I know in 24 we pruned it and fertilized it right looks beautiful but I'm just saying I don't know that a tree just because it
reaches a certain you know age that's going to have to come down so the plan that we had uh received a grant to write in 20 I guess 13 or 14 U it did say that um we should develop a plan based on the
priority categories and reinstate a pruning circuit on a a rotational B so that a certain area of the Town they're pruning the trees you know each quarter or each year so that um you know they're not just driving around looking at at
tree Lo but it's kind of like a Sy systematic approach to doing proning and that also they they recommended that a separate risk assessment and Forest management planning um be conducted each year so that we have a plan at the beginning of
the year for what we can expect so that when we're approving a budget we're not just basing it on what was spent last year but on actually what the current needs are and I I see you're doing that more now than what we've seen in the past so that that is appreciate a lot of those trees get pred
by jcpnl you know te them up by power 10 E I do appreciate the decisions being made on the type of trees to be planted under power Lin so they don't get butchered it's a cherry tree that grows 12 ft so or oak tree
that's not 100 pound line correct and and that's one of the things that we're focusing on as well if if we do have to plant under a power line it will be one of the the smaller tree species but in other locations our focus is to also go back and plant native trees to this area
which is something we've kind of moved away from because um it is a common request from residents that they don't want this massive tree that they've already had to replace they want the smaller little flowering tree that's pretty in front of their house just another thing I was just thinking of
recommendation don't play between the street and sidewalk that's we're not doing that correct because then we have to worry about the sidewalk coming up from the roots and other concerns for the residents good than you Mike I
appreciate we're hitting you pretty hard here two months in so as as a new councilman I can I can relate so get it um just just a quick question this is hopefully it's an easy one um just the math for me um I'm just not under I'm not I'm not quite getting
it maybe I'm not reading it right U but for you said for 30 trees removed in 2024 it was $9,750 according to the schedule here uh even the most expensive tree removal 36 in is $475 per tree so if my math is right that's only
$4,150 so I don't understand how 30 trees equal almost 30, at close to $1,000 per tree when the when the quot is only half that so again I know appreciate I'm hit you hard you're two months in so maybe you don't
have all the answers no so um I believe you're looking at section two of the contract then correct uh so that to my understanding in conversation that would be if they literally just leave they cut and just leave the tree we base everything on section one which is the
full take down of the tree and removal okay that's where the the cost the larger cost comes in from uh understood so that's yeah it's yeah for for the most part we really can't you know remove a tree and leave it there there are situations where you know depending
on the location we could leave the stump and we don't have to incur the the stump removal cost what percentage of the trees are taken down by the DPW um it's a very small percent and this is something that I uh brought up
one of my first meetings try to understand what we could do a little bit different to maximize uh spending so they DPW isn't properly trained as is our Forester and his uh staff to remove
the trees I believe it's depending on the location of the tree and the size of the tree is really what DPW can um take care of for us this is something that I really pushed um to understand more um it's it's pretty much like the kind of
12 and under so like that foot foot and a half and under they can take down smaller a little bit easier for them um as they're just not properly trained I have to be honest when when I saw your budget it was like 8900 a month
and I felt like you spend 8900 a month and then you stop as though you have to spend it and it it just felt like it wasn't I wasn't uh digesting you well I put you that way what you did tonight like I already saw the first quarter
you're nowhere near the 25 26,000 you were last year and if you can like that you're going to be well under budget at the same time I see that there were two trees that came down day before yesterday one Johnson Ro and wented the batting C thank the Lord it was a baseball season that that would have
crushed a kid exactly which is why I want to get that specific area addressed and that's what you watch toan up last year and understand that I didn't have I think like I we didn't have all those information and it looked a little I don't want to use the word suspicious how do I say just 89,000 you stop it
just whereas now you're telling me 900 in January this and 8,000 in February it already sounds a little bit more believable and I use the word digestable I can I can accept it which is why I wanted to come in front of you all this evening as well because I know there was the concerns and there wasn't kind of
you know this level of detail in the past is you know anytime that any of would like to come to a meeting or want an updated request of this type more than happy to give you reports both those trees I think they were traving under I stopped DPW took care of them
and also there were some more dead trees nearby they took them down okay so I know that there is communication between okay the ones on the B they haven't gotten to it we're going to go tomorrow morning correct check those out um I I
don't see uh you know our kids walk the sidewalks we're responsible for the first 10 ft roughly right away those trees are there our kids are underneath it um I have at least I'm going to fight truth to D that that everything is done
um with the maximum safety for our kids absolutely once you go to 10 feet we're not responsible anymore but got that's right where our kids walk exactly which is why we're also prioritizing the park parks in town more than we ever have um one of the things that we did um at the
tail end of last year in community park we trimmed and pruned all of the oak trees um that go from The Pavilion all the way over to the sandbox and to the uh slide area there's a lot of Deadwood
in those trees that was done as a safety concern so we're going to continue those types of safety concerns as a top priority and compared to to the years past in these two months let say you spent around 9,000 whereas the last two months you're budgeting 10,000 I say
roughly 10,000 a year so you're you're already under that because there's no thank God we've been lucky but you you you never know yes um we've gotten pretty lucky so I mean with the winter weather we've had we haven't really had the tree loss so that's I I have to
apologize to you and I really thought when I saw that budget last year I just looked suspicious I had a hard time with it the way you came today you know this this and this you clarified a lot in my mind and I I I see the importance I I'm only on I've only been on the board with
you guys for for a couple of months and I I want to learn more um and but I'm very happy with uh what you did tonight as far as educating our and the way you're going where you're you know your hands on and uh and worrying about our kids so
right that was a quick that's thank you very much you thank you for coming does anybody want to see the memos that you generated move at the of February 20th
in the amount of 25254 70 be approved is there a second second by Tyler roll call please Mr Cortez yes Mr yes yes
yes we have no need for an executive session we do have a need for an adjournment okay don't I I raised a question we allowed toig out you saw my respon to that no you got
my response on that one and I answered it okay I didn't see that I'm so sorry we don't have to race I don't know I and I said it's the position it's the position let the lawyer do that I just don't want to make sure that we mention on that
that we got a lawyer right I was and I answered oh yeah yeah I didn't see we can talk about it's great I just don't want to do anything wrong for talking about I just thought that now it's you talk about it because
I can't I can't Envision situation that's negatively imp right here thank you John executive says be resolved by the burough Council the bur M Plains on the 20th day of February 2025 that prior to
