>> All in favor? >> All I >> I >> Thank you. Um just [clears throat] wanted to say happy new year to everybody and uh my name is Charlie Shaker. I live at 10 Raleigh Court in Morris Township, New Jersey. Um, I was
here last month talking to you about gas leaf blowers and the evidence that tells us that they are hazardous to our health for both air and noise pollution. And uh, at the time I mentioned that I've um, started a petition. I just wanted to update you on those numbers. I had about
50 signatures before. I'm now up to 114 people that have agreed that the township should take some sort of action. Uh when we spoke about this matter last month, I suggested the idea of giving uh the committee a presentation that would take about 20 20
minutes approximately uh with maybe 5 or 10 minutes for Q&A afterwards. Uh [clears throat] I believe the the mayor Donna uh agreed at the time that we could do that. I just wanted to follow up and just see if we could actually I I don't know what the mechanism is for getting that on the schedule. So, I
guess I'd like to ask a question, which is how can I get myself on the schedule on the agenda um and your schedule for providing some sort of a presentation uh to you? >> She needs to send an email request and it'll be reviewed.
>> Okay. Uh Charlie, you can send a email request to to us and uh it'll be under review for for that and we'll let you know. >> We'll do. >> Thank you so much. Appreciate it. >> Thanks, Charlie. Okay. Next,
your name. >> Hi. So, I'm Jennifer Nielsen from 17 Eggbert Avenue in Morristown and I would just like to speak in favor of some kind of ordinance to control leaf blowers.
Um, I was in Maplewood when we got one passed or when I I worked for some Action uh advancing it. I did not get to experience the pleasure of the peace and quiet that that resulted, but my um my
friends that still live there are rejoice in how peaceful it is now. Um I did work on a plastic bag ban and there was a lot of drama and opposition until it was passed and then it was all fine. And I get the impression that that's the same thing that happened with the leaf
blower, uh which is a total ban in Maplewood. >> [snorts] >> Um, I'd also like to say that I worked I spent most of my career in public health protecting the health of the most vulnerable and I think that there's a parallel here because the the people who
operate these things day after day are among our most vulnerable community members. I think they don't know what risks they're taking to their lungs and their hearing operating these machines. Um, and they deserve our protection. And
of course, it's a public health hazard for all of us. And, uh, I think my husband is going to talk a little bit about the noise pollution that we endure from our neighbors. >> Yeah. Can I make a suggestion? And I don't know how the committee feels. So, um, we passed there was temporary ban
passed in one of my other towns and Livingston didn't pass one and North Co didn't, but I think they started with the environmental commission. I know that those meetings are open to the public and it might be a good forum to have a conversation there and uh in those towns the environment commission
made recommend made recommendations to the committee with uh sample ordinances varying from total bands seasonal bands partial bands you know two cycle one cycle um noise so I don't that may be a a better way to to start perhaps going
to the environmental commission if they're open to the public which I believe they are. Yeah, >> second Wednesday of the month. >> Sorry, second Wednesday of the month. >> I think that that's a smart approach. This way the environmental commission can thoroughly look at all aspects of of
an ordinance and how it can possibly be written and enforced because I think one of the biggest things that that you know we up here are going to be concerned with is how do you enforce it in a town like ours and how do you how do you phase it in? So, I would look at the environmental commission to come up with
those answers um to do that. >> Is that really what they're tasked for DC? >> Well, they can they can certainly look at it. They can certainly as an advisory board propose. >> So, if if I may, as a member of the environmental commission. >> Okay, [laughter] you can wait. Uh was
there anybody else in person? >> [clears throat] >> It's always a pleasure to follow my wife. [laughter] Um she >> [clears throat] >> um she leads out in all of these things, but I have to say that I just want to give a personal >> What is your name, sir? >> Pardon me. >> Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Dean Nielsen.
I live on 17 Avenue. Um just a a personal uh view. Um we we live in a place on a hill with >> [snorts] >> uh uh three of our neighbors on the
three sides uh using gas uh blowers and um one of them um has a very big yard and they have three blowers coming at the same time. Uh the thing about them is they work out of their homes and
their child goes to school all day. But my wife and I uh and her parents are in the house all day long and we hear this and they don't [laughter] they don't know what kind of racket they're making and [snorts] uh for us
it's really deafening and I do see them out there without ear protection. So they're also hurting themselves. >> Thanks. My internet connection is out. >> Agree. Hold on.
>> Anybody on? >> I can't tell. >> I I can't get on the internet. >> No hands raising. >> Okay. [clears throat and cough] Okay. >> Thanks. Um mayor.
>> Yes. Ask your mic. >> All right. I have a question for the attorney. Um, so we have a noise ordinance in town and from your experience or maybe Tim, do leaf blowers ever exceed the standard noise decibel level?
>> Do we know that? >> Not that I'm aware of. It's pretty high. I think it's 85 dB during the daytime and 65 during the night, but >> Oh, it's Oh, it's different during day and night. >> There's different levels during day and night for that. And it have to be done by the noise control officer for the readings on that, which is our health
officer. >> We have one. Yes, we do. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. >> Our internet is out. >> Motion to close. >> Okay. All right. Seeing that no other members
of the public are here here or on Zoom, will someone make a motion to close public comment? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Now we have three ordinance for introduction on today tonight's agenda. Madame clerk, please read the title of

maintenance? >> They are. It's a full-time lease. It's a year- round lease that they get for this. It's a 5-year lease. They've had previous leases. Um, as you may recall, we had did have an issue where they did um improvements without authorization that did not meet sub code. They had to
remove all those. This will also enhance us that they have to go to the township as owners of the property before they do anything. And we'll be doing annual inspections to make sure that it's properly kept. >> And what what are the the lease payments
outlined in the ordinance? I didn't see. >> It's $1, sir. >> It's just $1, >> correct? >> Okay. And does anybody else have access to that facility? It's going to be all theirs. It's just theirs, but we do have a food concession there that we could use if we wanted to.

I'll just keep it brief. Um I serve as um chair of the budget committee this year. Uh and this is budget season. So the committee along with all the standing committee chairs and uh vice chairs will be going through the proposed budgets with all the department
heads across uh the town government and then becoming putting together recommendations for the township committee's uh budget committee later on uh in the cycle. Um, as I mentioned during our reorganization meeting a few weeks ago, um, we've gone through
several difficult budget years in the past five or so years, and this year is no exception. Um again, our um employees for the about the third or fourth year in a row are seeing huge spikes in their health insurance premiums and
prescription drug premiums uh of over 15% year-over-year. Uh this continues to compound. uh the state health benefit plan uh is in a downward spiral uh and the governor's administration is going to have to do something about it uh to
make sure that our local employees not just in Mars Township but across the state have the health benefits that they deserve. Uh so we will power through that as we have uh in years past. We are very fortunate uh to have the guidance of administrator Tim Quinn and our CFO
Sean Ferguson uh to make sure we are doing everything we can uh not only to stand by our employees and give them the benefits that they deserve, but also that we continue to make the investments we need to make in Mars Township uh not only for the residents that live here now, but who will be living here in the
future. So, um these meetings will continue to be ongoing and we'll have another report uh at next month's meeting. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. >> Thank you, Mr. Rabbitz. >> Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. U good evening, everybody. It's nice to see
faces out on such a a cold night, and thank you for braving the uh the temperatures. One of the things I was I did this past week, I don't really don't have any committee reports, was I was I was asked to represent Mars Township at a rally in
in Marstown. kind of a impromptu rally uh called Mottown Demands Accountability. And if you're not aware, I'll just real briefly um there was an an ICE um stopping uh incident in on
Speedball Avenue in Marstown that did affect one of our one of our students. He was subsequently let go, which was a very good thing. But there um a lot of people feel that um you know, ICE is exceeding authority. So, I was asked to
speak and I and I did and I want to read what I wrote what I said at that that meeting. So, it goes into the record. So, if you indulge me, it's it'll be about three or so minutes. [clears throat] I stand here today because like many Americans, I no longer recognized the
country I thought I knew. [clears throat] This isn't about party labels or election cycles. It's about something deeper. the character of our democracy and the way power is exercised in our name. Increasingly, the current federal
administration is not behaving like a government accountable to the people, but like a regime that demands obedience. [laughter] We got a little wet. So, for many in our communities, federal in law enforcement has come to
feel like less like law enforcement and more like a a personal police force. When people describe ICE as America's Gestapo, what they are expressing is fear. Fear of masked agents, fear of
unmarked vehicles, fear of detention in inhumane conditions without clear explanation, and fear that basic rights and due process no longer apply. We are witnessing a troubling pattern of lawlessness by federal agents. arrests
without warrants, use of force without accountability, and conduct that would never be tolerated from la local or state authorities. Even more alarming, the Department of Justice has moved to block state and local investigations into crimes
allegedly committed by immigration officers. We sense that any crimes that might be committed come with an immunity from prosecution. We are told not to believe what we see with our own eyes, to dismiss credible
reporting and firsthand accounts and instead blame innocent people for the brutality that's inflicted upon them. That is not how a constitutional democracy operates. That's how regimes operate. Adding to this concern is the
clear lack of transparency around screening, training, and oversight of federal agents. Law enforcement authority carries enormous responsibility. When individuals are granted that authority, without rigorous training,
clear standards, and meaningful accountability, everybody is put at risk, including our rule of law. In 2025, I wrote a proclamation that the township unanimously contract committee
unanimously adopted affirming that Mars Township is a fair and welcoming community. We celebrate cultural diversity and we recognize that our strength comes from it. We affirm that all residents have equal valory
boards, in public commentary, and in civic life. Most importantly, we commit to including all residents in the conversation, not silencing them through fear. That proclamation isn't merely symbolic. It's a statement of values. It
says that dignity matters, that participation matters, and that democracy begins at the local level. I'll close with this. If you know somebody who's scared or anxious or feeling isolated, help them in whatever
way you can. Check in. Offer support, stand with them. We're all in this together. Help to build the country you want for your children and your grandchildren. Democracies survive because people stay engaged and informed. rededicate
yourselves to doing what you can with what you have where you are for as long as you can because it can and will make a difference. And I think that that was very appropriate also for something that Martin Luther King Jr. would have um
applauded in his uh in his time because apparently we're this country could be seen as backsliding into the pre-Ivil right uh civil rights era. So it was important that I that I spoke. It's important that I read this into the public record for our residents to
understand that this township committee is going to do all we can to protect you the residents from um things that are well whatever we can control we're going to protect you from. So on that u I will hand it back to Mr. Janata.
>> Thank thank you uh Mr. Ravitz and I really appreciate you speaking in the snow. I I could not make it personally, but um I really do appreciate your words and even with the your wet paper.
[laughter] Uh Mr. Grizzo, any comments? >> Yes. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. Rabbits, for those words. We are living in a very scary world where ISIS is constantly overstepping their bounds. Um I have
given the beginning of the year very few remarks. I was honored to attend the Martin Luther King celebration this past Monday. Another great turnout and very inspiring as always. And uh just want to remind everybody this is our last meeting before the February 5th special
election. So make sure everybody in the room gets out and votes. Everybody who's watching online gets out and votes on a Thursday. And let's hope there's no snow. Um and I'll send it back to you, Deputy Mayor. >> Thank you. and Mayor Grizz Mary Grigg
could not make it. She's literally on the other side of the globe, but uh may she be safe on her journey back in a couple of weeks. And as far as my comments, this past week has been very eventful in many ways. This Monday was the official
commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday. As Committeeman Griselle mentioned, he and I were among the dignitaries who attended the MLK breakfast held at the Morstown Hyatt Hotel. And that afternoon was the service at held at the Presbyterian
Church on the Green. And yesterday, Committeeman Jory and I were among the dignitaries who witnessed the inauguration of our new governor, Mikey Cheryl, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in NJPAC in Newark. Both events were both moving and inspiring.
And as I mentioned at the reorg meeting, I stated that we do not live in a vacuum. Then the following Sunday last week, members of ICE detained 11 people in Marstown. There were also present in other parts of the county and in New Jersey. One of the detainees was a
senior high school student, honor student from our local high school. He was later released, but he shouldn't have been picked up in the first place. What this showed us is that our community can be directly touched by the federal government. However disturbing these events have been for many in our
community, this is being answered by many others who have marched and speak out who march and speak out. Thus showing those who are most vulnerable that they are not alone. On ML MLK day that after the service, a march was held
beginning from the Presbyterian Church marching down Speedel Avenue to St. Margarus Church and ending at the laundromat where many of the events that a Sunday's actions took place. The march was led by local clergy from the Morris
County area and numbered at least a couple of hundred people walking in sub freezing temperatures. This shows how dedicated these people are. We live in a time where many of us are wary of what comes next. But listening to Governor Sherro's inaugural address, I was
grateful that she mentioned the Declaration of Independence, in particular those parts about grievances against King George III, which many of us overlook and how pertinent those words are for our own times.
And here we are commemorating the 250th anniversary of our our nation's birth. Yet many feel alienated from these times and find it difficult to see anything inspirational or celebratory. But one of the reasons why I speak on history is to look for inspiring stories without
whitewashing anything. In fact, it's more inspirational to tell the full story on all from all sides because everyone must feel that they are a part of the story. So I will end with the noble train of artillery. This was the
term that Henry Knox used when he told General George Washington that he would bring the cannon located at Fort Ticeroga and bring them to Boston to help defeat the British who were bottled in the city. Ticonderoga was captured by Ethan Allen back in May 1775
and it had a large number of artillery, cannon, howitzers, and mortars, but were not be able to use at this time at all until the 25-year-old Colonel Henry Knox suggested to Washington that he would go to Ticeroga, retrieve the 60 pieces of
artillery by calling it a noble train of artillery. Knox was a Boston book seller who read widely on military matters, including the use of artillery. He used this knowledge as a military officer to great effect. The fort, though, is located 220
mi from Boston. He left Boston on November 16th, 1775, arriving there on December 5th. He built ox and cart sleds and loaded 59 pieces, leaving on December 17th. He crossed a frozen Hud Hudson River and run across
the heavy snows at of the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts. Arriving in Cambridge on January 25th, 1776, Washington then placed the artillery surrounding Boston at Dorchester Heights. The British woke up one day and saw this array of cannon and decided to
vacate the city. This was the first major victory for the Continental Army in the war. I spoke about Henry Knox at the uh dedication of the liberty tree at at Burnham Park because uh the he kept
he was stayed there on Knox what is now Knox Hill and his artillery were at what is now Bernham Park. Henry Knox later became the general of artillery throughout the war and later and when the first administration came he was the first secretary of the original and only
department of war. As part of his legacy as part of his legacy the city of Knoxville in Tennessee and Fort Knox in Kentucky were just a couple of places named after him. So for a bookstore owner, Henry Knox went quite
far in his life and served this nation, this new nation. Well, thank you. And now open to the comment. There's currently again six people here and
and Zoom Zoom four people on Zoom. And at this time, we'll open the meeting to public. Uh, >> I'll make a motion to open the public comment. >> Yes. Okay. All in favor? >> I >> I >> Okay, we'll first take comments from the
in-person attendees if anybody wants to speak. >> Hi, Charlie Shaker 10 Raleigh Court. Um, so I [clears throat] just just because I'm doing research uh right now on this presentation that I hope to give you. I had done some research into the no noise ordinance. So I just I just want to
clarify something. I I I thought that what I read here, what I'm reading here is that uh impulsive sound shall not equal or exceed 80 dB um not 85. So I just want to confirm. Is that is 80 the case? >> I'm going off memory. I'll check it in
the morning. >> Okay. Yeah. So I I believe it's 80. And so many uh gas leaf blowers, especially landscape or commercial varieties, >> look farther down. There may be an exemption that for that >> uh I'm seeing for dump trucks, rollers, things like that perhaps. Uh I'll look
further, but I was just going to say that many commercial landscaping uh gas leaf blowers uh exceed 90 to 100 um dB. So they do exceed I think currently the township's ordinance. Again, that's part of the research that I've been doing for my presentation and some of the facts
that I wanted to present to you. Uh so I'm hoping that again I get that opportunity and uh oh and one more thing. So I am a member of the environmental commission and um quite frankly I didn't think I could uh rise to this level of advocacy as part of the
environmental commission. I'm not sure that that's its role. Uh my impression on my three or four years at the on the commission has been that it's um more of an advisory role and uh about you know reviewing doing environmental reviews. um I'm really sort of advocating I'm I'm
being an advocate here and I just didn't feel like it was um appropriate for me to do that in my role in the environmental commission and that's why I've been doing it uh independently as just a regular resident. But I will go back to the EC and I will talk to Brian
who I know is very supportive of of my um of what I I'm thinking here. Uh, in fact, everybody on the environmental commission I know is. But I'll I'll talk to them about how, you know, we can work together. That's it. Thank you. Thank you for your time and I appreciate you're listening to me about all this.
>> Thanks, Charlie. >> All right. We appreciate Charlie. And uh, is anybody else in the public in person? Is there anybody on Zoom? Okay,
seeing no one, um, is there a motion to close uh the public? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. Now the time is 7:37. May I have a motion to adjourn the regular session?
>> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Okay. The next regular township committee meeting is Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 at 7 p.m. for the regular meeting 5:00 p.m. closed in the municipal building here, 50 Woodland
Avenue. Thank you. is killing.
