All right, folks. It's 5:30. Shall we get started? We have a lot on the agenda and more so in close session than anything. So, I just want to remind everybody that all council meetings will be audio and videotaped. They'll be shown on the Oceans Community Cable channel, channel 22 on Verizon FiOS and
channel 77 on cable vision. Can I have a roll call, please? >> Mayor Neutani >> here. >> Deputy Mayor Fischer here. Council member Zachera >> here, >> Kaplan here, >> Terica >> here. >> The notice requirements of the open public meetings act for this meeting have been satisfied and a copy of the annual notice was sent to the Aspbury
Park Press in the coastal posting town hall and filed in the office of the municipal clerk on January 3rd, 2000 uh 2025. Uh Greg, we're going to do a uh report from you first. So let's and then you're coming in to close with us because I
believe we're uh going over the COA stuff. >> Okay. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> I'm coming. >> Yeah, that's good. Whether you want it or not. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> No problem. Not a problem. >> Okay. Good evening everybody. Um, okay. First on the list, the 2023 road
program. We're processing the final change order with the DOT. The 24 road program was awarded in early late early December. We got precon meeting with the contractor on Monday to get that going. the 25 program. We've got the roads just about completely surveyed and we'll be
submitting in for DOT approval in January for the 25 program. So, we'll get that up a bit probably in springtime. >> Do we have the list of those? >> I believe you did, but I'll give you another one if you need. >> I lose track of what years they are. So, if you sent it to >> I'll send you another one if you want.
>> Sure. I'll send >> Yeah. Um, actually, let me finish first because I have a question for Scott about that the email. I guess I'll ask now. Um, I can't email everybody at once. I don't believe >> you can email them at once. >> I got to email individually.
>> No, you can email them at once. They have to each answer them individually. >> So, you can't say reply. You got to >> or what's easier is just BCC all of us and then we can't reply. >> Okay. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> So, I was going to do it individually, which is not a big deal. But yeah, I just want to make sure >> you realize I do this, right?
>> That's my daytime job. >> Yeah, that's maybe that's what I'll do. I'll send it to you for you. >> Hey. >> All right. I like that better. >> Uh, next project, Kewell Park. We're just waiting for our freehold soils permit. We should be getting the that hopefully this week, early next week. We
had to change there because they first application we submit was to submit to the demolish a single family home. They came, they went out, looked at the site, they came back and said, "It's not a single family home. It's a park. Go figure." So, they charge us three times as much to take the pile down. So, that's what that was all
about. What's three times? From what to what? >> It went from 370 to $1,200 because it's not a single family home anymore because we put the park under the tiny. >> Uh
yeah, good old No, that's free old soil. >> Yeah, they're just as bad. >> Uh next one is Fireman's Pond. Um that is on hold right now. We we kind of stopped because we had a problem. I think we talked about this a little bit last month. the dewatering of the top surfaces wasn't dewatering. Uh we're
looking for a dewatering site. Talked to Dave about it. I think we're going to talk I talked to Jason Burke about it also. We're going to get some quotes to kind of back it up. But we're going to look at using the western end of uh the ke the belly road site and we're going to go up there and kind of dig a little hole in that sanding material and dump
it in there. I just got to work all the details out. But hopefully that'll be on track by for January. We'll get that approved by you guys in the January meeting and we'll get them going. Counties are on track already. Already talked to the uh commissioner director. They're ready to go. Their public works
guys ready to go. They just give need to >> grab me this week about it uh or known. So, and I told them we're working on it. We're trying to get it done and we hope to have something in place uh by the beginning of the year. So, you know, that'll uh satisfy the county as well so
we can finish up the project and let people understand that, you know, we did run into some snags, but we're going to finish it. >> I just hope we get a cold spell in the pond. >> Yeah. Well, that's probably going to happen. You know that. I mean, this thing can't possibly get done. >> Is there enough water in it to freeze?
>> Hell yeah. We all back up there, but there's >> Yeah, >> it's actually got a layer of ice on it now. >> Um, next one's lollipop pond. submitted the uh revised plans to the state for approval to judge that one. Remember, we had to we can't judge that island out at the middle of that. So, that those all
went back. Uh Terrace Pond, we're working we're going to be doing this next one in the springtime. We're going to be doing the additional soil samples out there because we're going to expand that area of dredging now based on what we've discussed. As opposed to just doing a little area, we're going to do more of the pond.
Uh there's still some logistics to work up that with the county and stuff. Um Snell's Pond uh had a meeting with the adjoining neighbor. Um he was questioning a lot of things. One of the things that we came back and I think it was maybe Dave's idea was we have the
two Blueacre lots there and we talked about possibly excavating those and increasing the flood storage capacity of the pond. Unfortunately, I talked to Blue Acres yesterday and they said, "Great idea, but you can't put any structures out there." And I said, "Well, it wouldn't make any sense not to
put an outfall structure because if it fills up once, it's not going to drain. in the water table. So there goes my flood relief. They said, "Great idea, but you can't put any pipes in." So we can't excavate those. It won't do us any good because it would just fill up and be done one time. >> What's the reason for that? Why don't
>> we do said no like what the rules you can't put any un not natural or man-made structures in that piece of property. >> Okay. And they they said you're going to make a you know a nice swamp out of it if you want type of thing. You could
plant around the edges. I said that's not what we're looking for. We had enough water over there. So that was that's kind of >> pretty sure they would love a swamp. >> No, I don't think so. >> Shrek. >> Uh the next one was 1515 Logan. Uh we're going to talk Kevin was going to talk to
you about this tonight. Uh we're just really what it's come down to. We've got all of our I've talked to him. We have all of them up. I consider my conditions on the condition of sale. He's okay with that. We just don't know how you want to sell this. If you want to go to a realer, if you want to go to an auction
guy, but we kind of need that decision. I guess Kevin needs that decision before we push it forward. If you want to go >> close session, >> probably maybe. >> Yeah, you can. >> They have to negotiate if you're going to go to realtor. >> Right.
>> Right. >> Yeah. That's why I say it's kind of we we need direction on that with her and move forward. >> Okay, next one. Uh number 10, which on my list, we're going to go private about that. >> I missed that. I'm sorry.
>> Oh, we're going about that. >> Uh next one, the um Larchwood area lighting. I resubmitted that to state. I talked to their guy, Jose Ortiz. Um, I've got to file that again with a third time. But, uh, I did, they are getting
more responsive. I filed three of them. They've responded on one so far after 30 days. So, I'm going to, they gave me a phone number to call. So, that should speed it up. I'm going to work on that and a couple other two other things with JCPL. I got to work on uh the new DPW facility. I'm sorry,
Cindy Lane. The, um, we're waiting for the uh, D permits on that. Uh next thing is the stream cleaning. We're looking to start the second phase, second stream I guess, uh whale pond. We're going to start that January, February. So probably after the
holidays, I will talk to Steve Higgins and we're going to go out because we have the new machine. I'm going to see if he feels he could do any portions of it, which should really escalate this quicker because any portions he can do, we don't have to go out the bid on the other portion. So once I find out what sections he can do, we'll take that out
of the scope going out the bid and we'll still put one phase out the bid for February. So hopefully he can do a certain portion of this and we'll get that whale pond brook done a little faster. >> And this is east of Whale Pond. >> This is the Whale Pond Brook. It's the northern borderline of town. We're going
to go down that and dag that. >> Oh, West Long Branch. Okay. >> West side. Got it. >> And then there's a couple stream quarters I'm going to look at with them, too. I told you like off of uh Logan there there's a stream quarter that I'm kind of interested in. Not that it's flooding now, but I want to d snag it before it does flood. So, I've got a
couple of those targeted that I think Steve should be able to clean out hopefully. So, that'll that'll be done January. We're going to go over all that with him. Um and then we still got that one stretch over at West Allen between Holly Ter
that Steve's got to probably do, but we got to get to the homeowner in January, which he saw last time. I didn't find the number last time, but now we have the contact number. >> Okay. >> So, I'll reach out to him in January and say, "Listen, we want to try to do your piece of property because it's that one piece that's remaining. Unfortunately, it's the top piece which blocks the rest
of the street." So, hopefully he'll he'll agree with us and let us clean it this year. And then, uh the last thing is the lighted deal in Pompler. I did talk to Maurice has told his contractor to put that left turn arrow in left on deal left on the
roller. So that's just a matter of they ordered the material as soon as it comes in they will fix that. >> Outstanding. >> That's awesome. >> Sure. You demand. Thank you. I was working on it for a while. >> That was good. That's beautiful. >> It's even better now. I think it's better than it was. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. It's definitely a little safer.
>> Yeah. Just just so you know, there's there's a minor little problem we're going to probably have. And I've already talked to um >> Moraurice and a couple people there. I'm concerned about coming uh westbound on Deal Road and turning north onto Popppler in the morning because there's going to be so much traffic turning left
into Popppler Place going into the Hill School >> that you're coming around that turn looking to the left to make sure you're not somebody didn't turn left off of Popppler going east from the westbound side. You know, because you got that merge at the going north onto Popppler from off of deal from both directions >> going way too fast.
>> Okay. >> Going west on west. >> If you're coming off a deal, either eastbound or westbound, >> right? And you want to go north on Popler >> north. You're right. Okay. >> So you got a left turn and a right turn at merge, >> right? >> Going north,
>> right? So the problem is if you got somebody coming in going westbound on Deal Road turning right onto Popppler going north. >> Y >> he's going to be looking for that guy coming off of the left turn off of Deal. Not looking for that because it's not there now. Is that traffic backed up to
turn on Popppler Place? I'm worried about a rear end connection there. >> Is there a yield sign up on that? There is, but they're they're not there's nothing usually ever there. So, all of a sudden, when that school is done, I'm not wait for that to happen, right? >> So, I've already talked to the police and the chief is agreement. So, we got to work something out with them and how
we address that either with a lane or something and it's kind of perfect timing because we're looking to do that. That's the road program that's been awarded for this year. That's going to pop up. >> Okay. >> So, we may have to try to fix that somehow. I got to talk to the chief and the Hill school and see how they want to work it out. >> Has there been any conversation? maybe
put a cop there at 2 in the morning. >> Yeah, they they have had that conversation, but I that's really the chief and you know, I don't remember if he was happy or sad about that, but he was that was something we did discuss. >> I mean, if you put a cop out there with the lights on, at least it gives you some sense of, you know, slow down or
>> Well, it it's really the the learning curve. It's only going to take once, but the problem is I'm worried about the first time. >> Yeah. >> You know, because you, as you know, people fly around there 35 miles an hour trying to beat that guy turning left. >> Why not? Why you looking at me? No. Yeah.
What? Well, um, granted, there's going to be a lot more students there, but >> but even buses, you know, every because there's nothing there now. >> More. Okay. So, even during the normal morning or afternoon, >> mostly morning. >> So, it's going in >> morning is the issue. So, there's two
issues. There's going in, which I think is that problem, and then the coming out at between 4 and 5:00 p.m. that I think we have to figure out. That's more of a police issue because nobody will be able to turn left out of there very easily with the traffic at day afternoon, >> right? >> So that's more the police problem versus, you know, this is a traffic flow problem
>> and that traffic flow problem doesn't exist today because the enrollment's not enough to >> it does in the morning. >> It back I think it backs up. So people are going slow so they're looking around. I'm not sure. I'm not sure when if and when it'll be a problem. Um >> I just don't want it to become one
because the school getting bigger traffic is going to increase. >> Sure. make a stop. >> Yeah. So, can I That's exactly. Is there >> Well, there's already a yield on that northbound lane. >> We have that might be the what we solution is is put a stop there. >> How do we feel? That's good.
>> How do we feel about light up signs? I feel like they would be so beneficial all over town over there and then also coming out of the school. And I just feel like people pay more attention when something is >> blinking in their face. >> I don't know. I I I saw it at We saw it at the league, remember? We
>> we have them on South Lincoln and >> yeah stop signs, >> right? But okay, maybe a stop sign, maybe a yield sign. Maybe >> that's that's what we may put at the end of that ramp coming off of westbound. Put a flashing stop there from a yield to a flashing stop. >> So that's what I'm saying.
>> That would stop what my problem is with the rear end situation >> and by the school like I Why aren't there signs that say school zone over there? >> Flashing school zone. >> Yeah, >> everybody slow down. >> Yeah, we should have those. I'll look into that. >> Well, you know, while you're looking at
that, look at all of them. I don't know if they're anywhere. >> I should say you're right. You're right. >> There are a lot of them. >> They're around. >> Yeah, I think they call the but that one I'm I'm agree with that. There's none on >> there's none. >> Do we have one at Elon, too? >> Thank you, John. That was >> There's nothing at the
>> There's nothing there. Should probably look into that, too. Greg, >> is there only one entrance and exit? >> There's one entrance and exit. Um, >> yeah, >> when they're doing the construction. I wonder I don't know like for security or whatever. >> I thought you may know him. Uh, San
>> he copied me on the email. He's the >> he sent me an email asking for director to deal >> and I said I unfortunately not tonight. I go to plate provision. So I gave her gave him the
contact information for Colleen contact her >> and this is the time to do it while they're under construction. I mean, that would be amazing. I live over there and the traffic at that intersection is better, but it's still bad. >> Yeah, it's still bad. And I just worry with the lighting of the signs because
right across the street are residents. >> So, I don't know if that would be like right in their window. >> I think it's only >> it would just be Well, the only place I could really put a flashing stop would be on that end of that ramp going up to northbound popppler and that's kind of hided by hid by a lot of woods there. You might have the one guy in the corner
might be able to see it, but it certainly won't light his house up. I mean, it just be like a stadium effect. He can see it, but it doesn't really light the house up. >> Yeah, it's in it's in the largewood area. I don't think it bothers anybody and South Lincoln. I don't think it's >> Yeah, that would be the one
friends or bother me. >> Yeah, I don't think it's so far north up the road though. Be the guys right there. >> I actually had an accident. >> I don't know. >> Did you? >> And this is much better. >> Yeah. It definitely is makes people aware stop. >> Yeah, it's not high or the other one.
So, we'll get to whatever. >> But thank you for addressing all that. >> Yes, your problem because it is very congested over there. >> That's that unfortunately I think that probably should have been, you know, something that was addressed at the planning board meeting. >> You know, they should have probably said, "Do we need a second entrance and
the trapping volume at that exit?" But that's something we will I told him to go back and look at that because we knew it was going to be a problem. >> And that's all I have here. >> Thank you. >> Oh, we got questions. >> Questions? >> What do you mean? Oh, we got questions. >> I said oh. I said all. I said all. I
thought I already answered your questions. >> I got one more. So, um, a nice gentleman caught me today and he was questioning andor complaining about the construction on Norwood, the chocolate, that new
property where we got mixed >> Norwood. >> Is that what it is? I don't know. He didn't have the number where we're doing the mixed shoes. >> You mean lack of anything going on there? >> Uh, no. He wasn't concerned about that. was actually concerned that there was what he thought was and allegedly
they're getting fined for it doing like cutting beams and everything on site. He said he's been fined by code enforcement for that. >> I'll check we I haven't had any complaints for the perimeter of the site. That would really be building department internal like that. >> That's >> but I will check with Eric the
construction official. Okay. Allegedly, they've been fined and >> according to him, they'd rather pay the fine because it's cheaper than doing the work off. >> I just that that fine escalates every
day. So, I doubt that's the case. >> If we're And I don't know what >> it doubles every day. It goes two to four to eight. >> Is it every day or every instance? >> Every incident. So, they're doing a cutting there every time. I mean, it goes two to four to eight. So, that's not something somebody would want to >> Okay, good. Good to know. didn't know it
but thank you for checking >> but I will check with the instruction >> I do have a question to you >> that's the problem I'm thinking yes they are being >> good >> I don't know anything else >> I'm sorry no good thank you >> thank you who do I address do I address
you if I have a question or anybody want to make sure we're more informed >> I want to do the right thing um I was on the senior lunchon as well today and a resident asked me a question so I don't know if it's appropriate right here. But there is a property that has been vacant
for 3 years and they were concerned about that. Do I Who do I speak to about that? >> You know the address? >> It's one Lancaster. >> Yeah, that would be property maintenance problem. >> Yeah. Send send me send an email to me and then I'll pass it along to Tracy and get code. But there is a property that
we are working on. Actually, we're probably going to reclaim the property through the uh vac property statute state of New Jersey. I That's the same one. >> I don't know. >> But if not, if not, this will help get it on the radar so we can >> Perfect. Thank you so much.
>> Absolutely. >> Gracie, anything else for Greg? >> Nope. Thank you, >> Dave. >> Yes. So, John and I met with the safe streets group the other night and um they were concerned about the crosswalk. I think you're working on it on
Quickipekco by the firehouse over there. They want to be able to get Where were you going to put that crosswalk? >> Maple. >> Maple. as far as the complete street. >> Yeah, the complete streets. >> There's a one there now, I think, in April. We're going to put the other one, I think, at also going to improve.
There's already a crosswalk at um >> right down across from Builder's General. Builders General used to be they're going out, but right across from that shopping center there. >> Yeah, >> that last street is in the road this year. That crosswalk will be improved. And the last meeting I was at with them, they were happy with those three.
>> Yeah. Do we have anything on Wikipeka there by the firehouse to get to those shops? Yeah, there's already a crosswalk there. >> Yeah, those all those are all the PVC crossings, too. So, those are all pretty good shape. >> Yeah, one of the things they were talking about are these light up things. >> Yeah, the rapid flashing lights.
>> Yeah, I mean, I know they're not cheap, but you know, if we have some magic money, um maybe it's something we could think about. >> Oh, we could probably get money through uh safe streets to school for those. >> Yeah, >> those are school routes, the ones going north. I think that was was brought up is that they want to be able to take
their kids and walk across to go to the shops and you know people are just there's all you can do is say well the theory would be what I would recommend we do we go for safe streets to school we'll get the two crossings in the middle of the road at Maple and Chestnut they get to the north side of Sunset then they can walk down that side and
then the crossing across Wikipek is already there >> as opposed to bringing you know trying to get crossings everywhere with flashing lights it's maybe easier just to get them at that >> yeah I think we talked about that too like listen sometimes It's white noise, you know, it's too much. But >> yeah, I I know in the first meeting I
was with them was we told them that you can't put these things everywhere because people will start ignoring them. >> Yeah. >> And then it becomes an enforcement issue. So they were they were kind of happy with the the number that we suggested on sunset. >> Yeah. One of the things we saw at the league, and I'm sure you've seen it too, is they actually have these lights that go are in the road. So it's not just
the, you know, the crosswalk lights. >> Those are great for California. >> Yeah. >> Probably hits them one time in a >> Oh, no. That's the end of that story. >> Yep. >> All right. >> Yeah. Because those I mean they they look great but >> yeah they are cool. >> Yeah they the plows are not nice to them. >> Yeah >> the plows aren't even nice to the paint
striping let alone those kind of things in there. >> And they even put little hoods on them so they ramp up so the plow doesn't grind them up but it's just >> it's too bad they they seem effective. You know >> that's all I got. >> I just had one question. Um a few I saw
people walking in the street which is what it I wanted to bring it up today. A few months ago, you mentioned finishing the sidewalk on Whale Pond over the brook. Is that still happening? >> Well, yes and no. >> Okay. >> We we remember the there was two
crossings there. One was a major stream crossing, one was a minor. We we've got the initial permit wetlands to cross, but we need to get a stream encroachment permit. And that's what I'm stuck on the money for that. >> Ah, >> so it came down to a financial thing. We're just waiting for, you know, till the probably this round in the budget.
I'll put it forward again. And uh it's just a matter of trying to get the money to go for that permit. >> How much do they want for that? >> Uh shim encroachment permits. Well, you remember how long it took me to get this shim encroachment for 155 loading? >> Yeah. >> So they're not too fast, but it's my guess is it's probably going to be
$4,000. >> That's it. I mean, not that that's it. $4,000. We don't have that in the budget. >> It's an account somewhere. Well, but you add all those with everything else because we have probably five or six things right now where we're getting permits for D or you know all over
>> it adds up to a big number when we're done. >> So, you kind of have to line them up priority wise. >> Got it. >> Not that this isn't a priority, but the other ones are unfortunately a little more of a priority. >> Right. Gotcha. >> But I I'll try again this year. We'll we have the extra money. One thing I can
say that I was thought I was going to have to spend some money to fix Logan Road at the Culver down there by um I always want to call it Christies. I don't remember the can never remember the name of the >> English Manor. >> English Manor. >> I I got you. It'll always be Christies. >> Yes. The county finally admitted it was
and they are fixing it now. So that's going to relieve me from having to go spend any money to fix that one. Oh, that was probably going to be closer to 10 by the time we got done. >> So you could do two sidewalks. >> Well, look at you negotiating. That's what I do. >> I have that second crossing which is a
major one that's going to probably cost us 10 to 12,000 permanent fees for that cuz that's actually the major stream. >> Right. >> So that's this other one's just an offshoot. >> But those both are still on my used to be on here but I kind of took them off because they're old. >> Right. >> They've been on here for a year and a
half. >> Right. Okay. >> Can I John and I are having this high conversation here about the cost of the fermentss. So >> no I'm just stunned. So we have limits from who who restricts us with community development on purpose? >> DCA.
>> DCA. So DCA doesn't look over D. >> No, >> they are the D part of their they're a branch of the state. They're not D, but they're a branch of the state. >> Why you laughing? You thought that was touch. >> Yeah. >> But >> so who over I mean we can't charge more
than what it costs us relatively to do that work. Does it really cost $4,000 to have somebody come out there and inspect that? I mean, isn't that what the permit's for? >> Oh, yes. To review and inspect. Yes. >> And And it's $4,000. >> Well, you're agree. I'm sorry. I'm not
>> Yes. No, that that's for I mean, I don't >> The question is, do you think it's really worth $4,000? >> Not on that one, but you know, there there's varying degrees of what we're doing. Like the next one over, >> right? >> It's going to be a m It's a major stream quarter, so it's obviously more money, but that one is going to take a lot more review and studies and, you know, a
little more effort on their part. This one's a no-brainer. I mean, It's no more than a dry ditch. You know, the other one has water running through it all >> and it's just, you know, 100 yards up the road. >> But that's the problem that the varying range of these things. There is no minor, you know, like doesn't bas it on
size. It's based on the disturbance and what if it's an active stream or not. So that that's just kind of how they figure out the fees. >> Thank you. >> I was actually I tried to go, you know, argue with them in the past that, you know, why does a town have to pay all these absorbent like a developer does?
I'm a developer when they go and get a stream of crossh 15 loaded. We're benefiting out of that because we're getting six houses that we're going to sell. So there's there's a you know quid pro quota. Okay. What's going to cost us? But we're just going to roll that into what the developer would roll that into what he paid in the
town. When you have to go and get these permits, even like the dredging permits, we gain no value other than the aesthetics of the property. It's not like we're selling it to make more beautiful lots to sell to, you know, somebody that wants to buy a lot on LA. We're doing this because it needs it to be done. So, I don't know why the town
has to pay those kind of fees. And I actually talked this over with Margie and that was one of my wishes of her when she got elected to the state assembly. If you can work on the fees for us because as I told you in the past when we were trying I went and we talked to the D about dredging the main body of the lake. That's all trees again.
>> Yep. >> That permit fee for that was $100,000. >> Wow. Just the permit fee. >> Not even any of the work. That's Why would a town There's no way the town could afford that. We're dead in the water before we even started. >> Who are we paying the $100,000 to >> the state of New Jersey?
>> That's a lot. Yeah, >> that's crazy. >> And what's the rhyme for that? You know, there's just it's all based on disturbance. And there wasn't even a permit available. We would have to get a permit made which would cost us a little more a little more than $100,000 by the time we're done. So, those are the kind of things I think we have to get to the
legislators and say, "Listen, the town shouldn't have to pay these fees like we're a developer. That would help us tremendously because as you can see how we're hamstrung. I mean, we have the money to do the sidewalk because that's cheap to put those two sidewalks in. It's going to cost me less than $4,000. It's going to cost me $4,000 just to get
a stream of coaching perm for the little one. >> Crazy. >> Who has those combos? Uh Dave, we have closed session at 6 to rapid fire. >> Mary Beth, you're rapid fire. >> So, uh in 2023, we started working with the Deal Lake Wershed Alliance and

>> I got 30 seconds. So, last but not least, uh the shade tree has been diligently working very hard all year getting the um the forestry community forestry management plan done, which must be turned in by the end of the
year. So, unfortunately, because they need the council's approval on this, and I was trying to explain to them, the only way to get approval is the council has to vote on it. So, we may need a special meeting before the end of the year, which we could probably just do virtually just to do this. And then
maybe if Ricky has any financials, but um the final draft is is here in my hand just got it tonight from Norm. So, I got to take a look at it and um we'll be once they finish doing what they doing at their level at the Shade Tree Commission, it will come to council for approval.

There are two emergency exits to my right that'll take you to the front

Anybody else? >> All right. All right. Before we get into business, I want to start with council comments. We're going to start down at the end with Deputy Mayor Dave Fischer. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um, I jumped on a conference call last week with the board
of ed on my favorite subject, the ebikes. Uh, it was actually a pretty interesting conversation. They brought someone in from the traumatic brain institute and they were talking about all these um how the increase in the emergency room and these these accidents
and it's just really it's a big deal. And if anybody's been following the legislature, there are two bills pending right now that are probably going to move forward. One is a regulatory bill, which is a lot like the moped bill from
1985 or two or whatever year that was where you're going to have to register these things and you're going to need a helmet. You're going to have to be 15 years old. You're going to have to carry insurance. There's a huge burden on the DMV to do this, but it is looking like it's heading in that direction. The
second bill has more to do with safety, wearing helmets. Some of these bikes are going up to 60 miles per hour. Um, I do want to thank uh, Officer John Convis from the Ocean Township PD. He was on that call. U, some of these people are going, you know, popping wheelies, going
60 mph. So, it is a big deal. And um as the holidays approach, I want to uh remind all the parents that though these may be great gifts and I'm sure your kids would love these things, I want you to understand that most of these kids have no knowledge of the rules of the
road and unfortunately when you hand a young kid something that can go over 30 miles per hour without a helmet, it's a recipe for destruction. So just keep that in mind. I also want to wish everybody a happy Hanukkah which is Sunday coming up. Check the weather
because we are lighting the monora but uh somebody told me there's some snow coming. And uh lastly I just want to congratulate our newest counciloman Grace. >> Thank you. >> Councilwoman Kaplan. >> Uh first of all congratulations to Grace
as well. Welcome. >> Um there was a beautiful tree lighting ceremony this past Saturday. I just want to thank um everyone who was involved in making it happen. I think the town um the kids really loved it and that's the most important thing. Um as the deputy
mayor mentioned, we are having a monora lighting on Sunday at 4:30, weather permitting, and another one um on Wednesday at 4:30, I believe. Also, probably weather permitting, but um definitely uh I look forward to celebrating uh with my fellow towns
people. Um, and just lastly, I was reading the um, Friends of the Ocean Township Library newsletter, which is a great newsletter for those who who don't get it. I highly recommend you do. Um, there are books available for teachers for their classroom. So, definitely reach out to them um, if or you know,
and let your teachers know to reach out if they if they could benefit from that. So, thank you. >> Happy holidays to everybody. >> Thank you, Councilwoman Councilman Sarah. I have nothing other to other than to congratulate Grace Anne. I echo the comments of the other two council
men and women and wish everybody a happy Hanukkah and merry Christmas. >> Okay. Thank you, Councilwoman Tower Rico. >> Thank you very much. I was actually writing something as we were talking because I didn't know to bring something, but I did attend the
senior lunchon today. It was a fabulous event. I got to walk around and talk to so many residents and it's so important especially at this time of year to have these events because they um more than anything the residents come together and they get to chat and get out of their
house and connect with each other and it's just a fabulous fabulous time. Um I also attended the holiday tree lighting and the blessing of the crush and that was so special at this time of year too. It kicked off a beautiful holiday season. So, I just want to thank all our
staff and, you know, everyone that's involved because it does take a lot of people to, you know, have these events. So, thank you. >> Thank you, Councilwoman Dave. Thank you, Mayor. I'm going to echo too and say congratulations, Councilwoman. Welcome aboard. Look forward to working with
you. And while I'm congratulating and so I can go home safely tonight, I will congratulate my wife who just opened up a business here in town called Learning Rex. business, a brain training business. So, all the best to her and and what's to come there and I'm glad
she chose this uh beautiful town of ours. And finally, happy holidays to everybody and I know all the employees are sending their happy holidays to you, too. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dave. And welcome to your wife. Congratulations, Grace. We look
forward to working with you and uh getting up to speed on the budget as we get into budget season. I want to congratulate Mike Patrico who is our assistant public works director. He uh his wife just had a baby. Uh Kai Michael. So congratulations to Mike and
his wife. I want to thank Jen Nordstrom and her team for putting on a fantastic event this past weekend. It was absolutely magnificent. I want to thank Jack Serpico for donating the fireworks show once again to the municipality which is great. Um and the entire team,
public works, the police department, wreck department, everybody came together, including the volunteers, community hope fund was out there, um along with Jesse Joseph, our clerk next to me. So, it was very nice making her popcorn. It was awesome. So, thank you
very much to all the employees. You really, you know, made it a special day. >> Again, uh Deputy Mayor Fiser mentioned the Manura Lighting, which will be at 4:30 on Sunday in the same location. Um, and I think that's about it other than
wishing everybody a merry Christmas, happy new year, happy Hanukkah, and happy holidays to everybody. So, we have a proclamation, which I'm not going to read the entire proclamation. It's for World Meditation Day, but I do just want to state a couple of lines in here.
Whereas on Sunday, December 21st, 2025, New Jersey will join 10 million participants in a global moment of stillness synchronized with a live mediation meditation led by Guradev,
Shirri, and Ravi Shaniker uh at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Standard Time. And whereas this initiative invites all citizens of New Jersey, regardless of background or belief, to pause, breathe, and connect,
creating harmony between communities, thereby strengthening the bonds of our local community and creating a ripple effect of peace across the globe. Now therefore, be it proclaimed by the governing body of the township of ocean that December 21st, 2025 is to be
declared World Meditation Day. Thank you to the family for sending that in. Now, we will go into our resolutions and vouchers and we have the consent agenda. All matters listed under the consent agenda are considered routine by the township council and will be enacted by
one motion in the form listed below. There will be no separate discussion on these items. If discussion is desired on any item, that item will be considered separately. The purpose of the public portion is to solely ask questions to understand resolutions that appear on the agenda and is not an occasion for a
public hearing on an ordinance. All questions not related to an item on the agenda should be asked during the public portions of the at the conclusion of the meeting. Therefore, do I have any public questions on the consent agenda? Please step up to the microphone.
>> Pulling three resolutions. >> What's that? Oh yeah. Yeah. I forgot to say uh we are pulling resolution 227, resolution 230, and resolution 242.
So if you have any questions, state your name and address for the record. >> Hi, Alex Hayes Oakst. Um I have brought up resolution 231 before before it um I guess hit the consent agenda here. Um there is currently that is the Anora the site of the Anora two buildings right
next to the middle school right on West Park just shy of what is it that Hope Road um intersection. Um there is currently a business there. There are seniors living there. When I brought this up a couple months ago, the people
who rent that those two houses, they didn't even know that there was a potential for redevelopment. So, in the ordinance, it says um it's you're directing um uh you agree with what the planning board said. You're sending a transmitted certified copy of the
resolution saying that that those two lots need to be redeveloped or should be redeveloped. So, my question is what happens to the business that is there? what happens to the residents and what kind of notice have those folks gotten? Thank you. >> I'm going to lob that one over to our
manager, Dave. Do you have information on um you know the future of Anora and the residents? >> No, not at this time, but I think the process would be whereas um once if this is approved, then the notice would be given out at that time to whoever is
going to be affected, which would be the direct property. Uh so, whoever's on there. So, I'm not familiar what you're talking about. You said there was a business there. >> Okay. So then the the owner would have to alert the business and then if they did do something else there, they would
have to give them relocation time to move, etc. >> I I can also speak to this since I'm on the planning board. Um the planning board voted in favor of it partly because it was um I was uh not in line
with the current um I guess standards of what a an apartment should be. There's no kitchens. They're taking food from one apartment to the other and I don't have the report in front of me so I can't speak to it exactly but um the goal is to make it better for the
residents. I don't know what the plan is for the business. It's definitely um something that I guess once the notice is out they'll figure it out. But it's because that the facility is not really in it tip-top shape for the I think it's like only I could be mistaken it's somewhere maybe between four maybe six
residents that are currently there. Um that's really part of the reason they're doing it >> and the municipality didn't um make this decision. Actually the owner of the property approached the municipality about designating the area need a redevelopment. So the request came actually from the property owner who
actually owns that business. So I believe she has other sites. H again I that's the property owner that made the request and Dave you know we can probably look into that too. Just find out where the uh four to six residents are going. Any other questions
on the consent agenda? >> Seeing or none. Do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> I'll make a motion. >> Second. >> Roll call. the chair. >> Yes. >> Aren't you? There's a few that you're not. >> You pulled them.
>> We pulled all three. That's You got >> Okay. >> You want to refresh my memory? Was I supposed to vote no on something? >> I thought we pulled the ones I questioned. >> We did. Okay. Very good. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Catherine. >> Yes. >> Terriica.
>> Yes. I'll except no on 14 and seven. >> Oh, I'm sorry. There was >> um and you should recuse yourself from the >> abstain from the minutes because you weren't at that meeting. >> Oh, okay. I abstain from the minutes. >> Okay, perfect.

but there has been a lot of extra traffic that is not either people that live on the on the residents of Old Farm or deliveries. It's a lot of people that are either looking for something or have lost their way. There's a lot of
speeding, things of that nature. So, I would like to suggest to the to the town if they could possibly consider having something like no street parking overnight because there have been a lot of, for lack of a better term, strangers
leaving their their cars overnight on the street due to the new development that's there. Um, >> I will mention that to the chief and uh >> or if I could have a meeting with the chief or or someone to discuss specific
