for it stands one nation godible with liy and justice for all please bow your heads from room the sence amen okay Mr Barnes here Mr Crowley here Mr Harel here Mr luk Mr pinii Mr Winslow Mr mad uh adequate me adequate notice of this meeting has been given pursuant to Public Law 1975 chapter 231 we will move in reports from the mayor and administration all right just a couple quick items the um as every news we put out on the website for open space for ideas for property 16th Street uh so we received several hundred so far but this everybody news if you haven't done it yet there's still time just go to the city website you can still get your input in um at this time we establish a turnoff date but it's probably coming soon so we'll let everybody know once that's there only item is our veteran service will be this Monday 11 o'clock at the Tabernacle we hope everybody can join us for that that's all I have all right thank you Mike appreciate it we'll move into citizen comment first up is Jeff orz real but close enough just give your name and address for the record ab and we have five minutes correct yes my name is Jeff Oriel uh resident 3 Walton Place on Glen Cove uh the reason I'm here this evening uh is in respect to the commercialization of Glen Cove with the 10 slip uh Dock at the end of it with up to 38t Yachts uh as a long-term resident of Ocean City Glen Cove was established back in 1908 with 38 small residential homes and it is the narrowest Lagoon in Ocean City uh most of the residents have very small boats it's one of the only lagoons in Ocean City where you cannot park perpendicular you can only Park parallel to your property a lot of the kids grandkids uh multigenerational on this on the street we have numerous uh community activities from float parties to dock parties to you know uh block parties throughout um and the commercialization of that is going to significantly uh hamper for that moving forward as a little bit of background or backdrop to it uh April of 23 the residents within 200 ft of 110 West 10th Street received notice uh the applicant applying for the njde approval to put in a 10 slip marinaa in conjunction with the commercial developments of the parcels we had two weeks and hire a local engineer to send a letter with reasons why this property was never a Marina and the detriment uh it would be to our community on August 24th same year lagon own owners were notified that the de the D rather had approved this project but not without condition because the approved commercial development was non-conforming to the current residential Landing use of that property the permit clearly stated in standard conditions number three on page four the committee should obtain all applicable federal state and local approvals prior to commencement of the regulated activities authorized under that permit as verified by the de ke this conditioned a permit not only to protect those that are impacted but to ensure that the approvals were obtained from all three levels of government prior to commencement of any work including zoning variant site plan approval Mercantile license and in uh you know sake of time April of 24 following year lagon residents received application from the US Army Corp of Engineers and were given a 30-day comment period numerous uh of my fellow uh residents uh as as well as other Town residents that that use our properties for their friends family uh as well uh on October 11th same year lagon owners received emails from the Army Corp saying they approved the project but also with conditions this passed October 15th a few weeks ago a huge barge pulled up finished some demo and started uh to install the marina structures these Marina structures including the pilings were already made and waiting for delivery and installation even the decking has started with the lands side of the footings within the designated setbacks uh all of our Lon owners are not sure how all this work could begin without the applicant receiving the local approval necessary um to make this work I'm sorry uh we don't not sure how this work could begin without the applicant receiving all local approvals necessary to make this residential lot conform with commercial development many lagon owners put a stop workk order to this town the zoning office replied an email that they have no jurisdiction over the authorized work yet per the de permit no authorized work is approved until all local approvals should be standard and here's the D the permit should obtain all applicable federal local and state approvals prior to commencement of regulated activities authorized under that permit and then Section 8 any non-compliance with a permit constitutes a violation of this chapter and his grants for enforcement action as well as in the appropriate case suspension or termination of this permit now once again I already talked about how uh you know our Lagoon is multigenerational uh for you for everybody there another problem it being the smallest Lagoon when there are currents and you know a lot of us have been boating since you know we were in diapers it is difficult to come into that Canal when the current's coming and it is proposed to put 10 slips with up to 38 ft yacht which that is going to make that extremely extremely dangerous so the one thing that I would ask Dorothy Michael Melissa Terry Tony Shan Keith and Dave right behind you you have the Ocean City Crest Ocean City New Jersey the greatest family resort we're putting a commercial Marina in the smallest Lagoon that is going to endanger the residence of Glen Cove thank you thank you [Music] Jonathan Almighty and perfect God Jonathan D thank you for today bless this council with your wisdom and your understanding when honoring their oath for all people amen Jonathan dice 12 Street uh I have in my hand a signed affidavit by an Ocean City resident named kathlen ryit re e i m t it was given to the uh police department in order to submit it to the Ocean City Municipal Court on this paperwork it says to the person that is filed in this affidavit please be advised that if you desire to withdraw the charges you have signed you must do so in open court all capital letters so it's a pretty big deal when you uh go ahead and you sign your name to an affidavit it's an oath it's an oath saying that what you're saying is stating is true and you will be held responsible if it it is not serious it's the backbone of our of our [Music] Republic they submitted it to the uh court and the court on this Ocean City resident the court accepted the version of what this oath this uh affidavit stated with no Witnesses and they uh ordered a summons complaint summons the state of New Jersey versus me this was signed back in 2018 1920 21 22 23 24 6 years later I'm talking about this Ocean City resident that signed a complaint against me in the Ocean City Municipal Court you want to know who this person is this Ocean City resident you could find a picture of her in the uh publication given by The Sentinel Ledger Endless Summer on page five there's a picture she is part of a group called Ocean City Financial Group and it was voted the number one best financial advisor in Ocean City New Jersey for the year 20024 I had said to you uh back on October 10th 2024 I told you about a green card that I got back from the Municipal Court stating that they got my correspondence to tell them that I will not be able to make the court date I had to take a uh one of my children to college because I didn't show up for that court date the Ocean City municipal court ordered the chief of police to order John J uh John Peter Dupont to come into my residence with cameras guns and tasers three of the officers from Ocean City came in handcuffed me so tight that I have permanent damage in my hands and now it's going up to my elbow I can hardly lift more than 40 pounds in my daily day I last week I was shoveling and because my wrists are weak now I don't even know my own body because I never I literally never had problems with my elbows and now when I pick up a heavier weight it it pulls them out and now they both ache after a day of work because John Peter Dupont doesn't know how to put handcuffs on someone go on seriously tell me [Music] Nelson thank I'm Nelson I'm from the tribe of Asher live on Central Avenue in the Ocean City the America's greatest family resort in the scriptures John 1 verse 47 it discusses a guy named Nathaniel when our Messiah saw him he said there's a true Israelite in his mouth there is no guile sarcasm manipulation kidding lying I would like to be like that I do my best When I visit you here to not exaggerate to not say anything that isn't exactly what I mean so when I try to commence some one time I remember I got caught I was a little bit sarcastic and I apologize for that today I had the pleasure of being at the veterans service at the Senior Center they had all the men that come to lunch there line up they were playing the beautiful songs of the army the Coast Guard this and that we all applauded them and I stood I did see the gold Fringe flag so I wasn't sure if I could salute then later I happen to see the flag of the United States of America along with the p flag I will be purchasing a p flag and wrapping it over my body here because I Was Made A P from this military Court this military City this military mayor this military police chief this military United States government you know why we're having All the Troubles we are in America because the United States is foreign to the United States of America this book The Complete Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers get it and start reading it I'm going to be offering my services to the men young men and women of this High School to start a club called the Constitution Club I wish somebody knew what we know now 40 years later you know who's one of my heroes Senator Joe McCarthy you know what I was told in high school he's a nutcase you know what he said communism is a real threat that communism is amongst us right now good news founding fathers knew how to eliminate all of the issues from Evil that would try to detain us from our life liberty and pursuit of happiness we were made princes on this land you know who cheated us out of that inheritance and hid it away the attorneys I have no respect virtually for any attorney why because they don't serve us they serve the bar the American Bar Association the New Jersey Bar Association and the international Bar Association out of London Anti-Federalist Anti Federalist I'm okay with the Constitution they had to do something they put so much genius in this every single day I learn more and more Federalist number one out of I don't know 50 or 60 of them this is why we shouldn't sign the Constitution and before I forget these gentlemen right here could be personally liable if something happens when you allow this Lagoon to continue that he talked about because he's telling you these people are not doing what the law says in you should be doing something to stop it not say well whatever the lawyers say just do it the executive branch we don't have anything to say we appointed them no you have every right to say sorry stop so here's what Federalist one says they consist generally of holders of public Securities these are people who are trying to get the Constitution passed because of the power it will give them say United States government say immigration Without End because they they want it the globalists bribing the Senators Etc which we don't even the the the legislature used to appoint them that was protecting us the people of every state 13 seconds holders of public Securities men of great wealth and expectations of public office bankers and lawyers these with the train dependent of dependence from the aristocratic combination the lawyers in particular thank you thank you we'll move into reports from city council Dave report Keith uh just a quick question I know last time somebody came in from 10 Street I asked these same questions but this this gentleman is here um they can do the work in the water there's nothing we can do about that correct that's correct and we had the zoning off officer send another letter to the property owner and remind him that he cannot operate a commercial Marina in this RL 1225 residential Zone without a use fance and by the way a sitech plan which will be planning board so let go to the planning board and Zoning zoning board both go to zoning that's going to be the zoning board so okay the D and the Army Corps of Engineers gave approval to install improvements on the waterw side of the bulkhead the city has no jurisdiction there there so we can't stop them from building um but we can stop them from operating a commercial Marina in a residential Zone if they begin to operate it we do have a call into the D because the D is the is the entity which can enforce its own permit as Mr Oriel is it read at the bottom of that page says that they will they can a violation of any of the provisions including failure to get local permits could be a violation of that permit but we have no jurisdiction to enforce it at this juncture thank you Mrs mcon because I just wanted to have everybody be clear where we at you know meel Elson I love you I love you as a Christian and a brother in God but I can't let one thing go I'm sorry it's just not in me um when you talk about PS prisoners of War ask John McCain you know um ask anybody who who has been a prisoner of war what that's actually like no anybody who hasn't seen combat anybody who has not been imprisoned by an enemy and beat almost to submission beat almost to death they have that distinction of being a p it's not an honor they take it as an honor they take it as a badge of honor and without them none of us not a one would be sitting up here because they fought for our freedom So for anybody who did not serve in the military and was not imprison by an enemy to to their death we still don't know where some of the PS are they're called Miis Mias that's on the same flag as far as I can tell you're not missing an action and nor have you ever been to war nor have you ever been tortured so I can't let that go normally I do not respond to stuff like this um but my father fought in two Wars for my freedom and I'd be I'd be denying his service and his his loyalty and what he taught me by not saying something still love your brother as a Christian no doubt about it but I couldn't let that goow 60 seconds of time now Sean um I just have a question so it becomes DD it becomes our problem I'm sorry if they do start using as a commercial commercial activity on the landward side of the bhead in that zone is not permitted without a use variance okay thank you no good all right I have nothing uh moving to approval of minutes uh can we get a motion to adopt the regular City council meeting minutes of Thursday October 24th so move Winslow second Harel second all right we have okay Mr Barnes yes Mr Crowley yes Mr

city to acquire the property right next door at 844 Central Avenue the smaller building right here not the one on the corner the framework um the frame shop um and puts the funds in place in order to

first reading and introduction some move second or all right second reading and public hearing will be held on Thursday November 21st 2024 and will be published according to the law okay I'm just a quick Mr sorry may may I add something to that I know you've already approved the adoption I just wanted to make it clear that the way this acquisition came about when the property owner saw that Council had authorized the acquisition of the parking lots adjacent into the city parking lots behind City Hall the property owner approached the city so we're working cooperatively with her negotiating the price negotiating the terms she approached the city just wanted to remind everyone of that I'm going to do a roll call Mr Barnes yes Mr Crowley yes Mr harzel yes Mr Pini Mr Winslow yes all right we reach our consent agenda all resolutions listed on the consent agenda are considered to routine in nature and will be enacted by one motion if the mayor or any council person wishes a particular resolution to be considered separately it will be removed from the consent agenda is there anything that you guys wish to remove okay seeing none do we have a motion to approve the consent agenda so move second arel Mr Barnes yes Mr Crowley yes Mr harzel yes Mr pinii Mr Winslow yes all right we'll move into pending business no pending business Sean anything pending St pending um I'm good thank you Dave pending um just one thing I would ask if the administration and maybe Weekly Newsletter can give an update on the paving in Maran Park we were you know we were told you know decided as a group uh in ear June June to continue the construction through the summer understanding it would be disruptive and then the paving and the pumps will be o you know ready to go by end of October now I understand there's been a delay get activating the pumps because some of the the the teams that were going to activate them are down North Carolina saving you know getting people electricity which is totally good but then there there's been some reports that the final Paving won't be done until the spring so I'm asking if because I've had a lot of calls from residents saying cu the place is a mess I mean it's going to be great when it's done but from 34th to 36th Bay Simpson Haven there's just dirt everywhere and the drains are getting overrun with uh gravel and I just like to get an update on when we are going to expect at least the initial Paving to be done to cut down on some of that so the water does flow and not in water flows in not all the the gravel and things like that a lot of residents are asking so if we could put that maybe in a Weekly Newsletter that'd be great yeah we can definitely do that thank you Dave I did I got a call too about that is there any alternative till the paving happens to maybe do some of that dirt so if maybe we can just uh I don't think so because the this the drains are raised up you know so we you know cuz we're going to raise the level of the street problems the water they're so high the water can't get in but all the rock they they put like rocks down just on either side to kind of can make it smooth but without being in the middle of the drought it is just like a dust bowl down there and I feel bad for these residents they put through put put up with this through the summer and all that but now I don't want to I just want to make sure we're not going to wait until the spring to do the initial Paving you need to have at least the the bottom code on so that the are functional so if we could just get an update on that if we can't do it somebody can let me know okay I know George is out so I if I kind of yep we're whenever he gets back that's I don't need to know right okay Dave will stay with you for new business uh no new business Kei I'm good there sir Sean nothing new Tony no new and I have nothing new we will move into citizen comment uh topic you haven't spoken on previously we'll start with this side of the room Frank good evening Frank warl 3307 Simpson Avenue Ocean City I appreciate councilman Haro bringing this thing about the the marina uh I've been sitting here I attend these meetings occasionally and uh it's always the same thing and of course you can't have give and take here I understand that but it seems like to me with the city just not stepping in ahead of time we're barreling to a major lawsuit where if these people are putting all this money in they are going to be fighting the the city and court if they should find not give them the permits that they're asking for just like that and I want to thank for our our update on the federals papers I had them for a while thank you my just state your name and address please yeah Joe Conway I live on seven Walton Place uh back up to gleno as well and I I hear what what the the city solicitor said about us not having any jurisdiction over what happens in the water but I guess uh I was here last week when uh there was a administrative decision on a lot to build the police substation none of you guys were involved in any discussions with that the administration decided this was what we're going to do and that that was done my question is why would this owner of this Lagoon spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to put this Lagoon up or put this Marina up without some kind of an assurance from the administration or somebody in town that he's got the approval my is that the administration will pull another end run and approve it without anybody's discussion that's the fear I have and it could happen don't smile at me like that Mr Vice President go ahead he has to speak through the chair when he speaks he's not allowed to do that he has speak through the chair can we can we have chance to respond though I I didn't mean any Mr any disrespect Mr Conway council is well aware the there was no end run with respect to the construction of the police substation Council was involved in that from the beginning I think what he's referring to is a year and a half or two years earlier someone had come to the administration with a proposal to swap land and the administration did not feel it was in the best interest of the taxpayers and that's within the administration's discretion there is no Capital project that can go forward in this town without council's participation and vote the administration can propose capital projects all day all day long but without the seven of you approving the money putting the money in place no Capital project goes anywhere so there was no end run that was a misunderstanding um by by the property by Mr Conway um with respect to any implication that the Administration has Som how approved this Marina I can categorically deny that on behalf of the administration in fact we've sent two letters to the property owner putting them on notice that that whatever construction is being done in Glen Cove is being done at the property owner's own risk we can't stop the construction but we can stop the operation and we can't overstep and the the zoning official because this is a zoning violation it's not a construction violation our construction official has no authority to issue a stop work p order on that side of the bulkhead but and our zoning official has no stop work Authority at all what she can't do is issue a Nosa violation and if anyone in town is operating a non-permitted use in without first getting a use variance that user would be treated the same way that this property owner will be treated with a notice of violation and a followup with all the tools available to the zoning official but the administration is in no way acquiescing in that construction approving that construction or in any other way participating in allowing it to occur yeah I just want to um I've been up here 17 years and I agree we don't always agree but this is something would be unprecedented I mean all this stuff I rest assur to the public that things like this they're not done with a wink and a nod there's a system the system works and it it will work and I can I can tell you with 100% that I'm sitting here and I'm guaranteeing you the system will work and I'm guaranteeing you that I will look through the system but I won't need to because the system does work uh and that's why we have a zoning and and planning board I can't explain why somebody would go ahead and do that um but it's it's got nothing to do with us um my myself personally doesn't make sense to me either but that's got nothing to do with our system our system is pure it's regulated um and that's all I can really say um I I I I understand people's feelings and why you would feel that way but this is one of the few things that's a pretty pure system as far as I'm concerned and and we all abide by it so rest assured thank you Keith thanks Keith anyone else from this side uh Nelson I'll get to you George okay Nelson Nelson tribe of Asher Central Avenue I'm going to give you a quote I've had so much fun reading the genius of the founding fathers George Washington government is not reason it is not eloquence it is force like fire it is a dangerous servant

Constitution for 20 years this was a criminal Enterprise going on with all of our uh we didn't know now we [Music] know I've show if anyone wishes to ask Melissa rasner the city clerk send her an
