public works department. And I said that's not the case with us. We have I think the best public works department in the state. And thanks to Casey and all his workers, they are they are phenomenal. They do a great job here in town. So, even though it's National
Public Works Week, I'd like to think this is special for our town. And I'd like to read the proclamation. We have new things out. Public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and services
that are of the vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to public health, high quality of life, and well-being of the people of Old Bridge Township. And these services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals who are engineers,
managers and employees at all levels of government and the private sector who are responsible for rebuilding, improving and protecting our nation's transportation, water supply, water treatment, solid waste systems, public buildings and other structures and
facilities essential for our citizens. And it is in the public interest for the citizens, civil leaders, and children in Oldbridge Township to gain knowledge of and maintain an ongoing interest and understanding of the importance of public works and public works programs in the respective communities. And the
year 2025 marks the 65th annual National Public Works Week sponsored by the American Public Works Association, Canadian Public Works Association. And now I, Debbie Walker, mayor of Township of Albridge, to hereby designate the
week of May 18th to 24, 2025, a national public works week. I urge all citizens to join with representatives of the American Public Works Association and government agencies in activities, events, and ceremonies designed to pay tribute to our public work
professionals, engineers, managers, and employees, and to recognize the substantial cont contributions they make to protecting our national health, safety, and advancing quality of life for all. I'd like to This is our public
works director, Casey Lenning. Casey does a phenomenal job here in town. Did you want to say some words? They also manage our um our great program, the clean communities program, which is highly successful. First, I'd like to start off by thanking
the mayor, administrator, and the entire council for the continued support. Um they give us all the tools that we need to provide a really good service for the township. Uh we continue to look for new programs that would help the residents and uh you know, this definitely means a lot. All the uh employees earn this, you

service and sacrifice of the brave men and women in law enforcement who protect and serve our communities each day with courage, integrity, and dedication. And this week serves as a time to pay special tribute to law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, recognizing their
ultimate sacrifice and honoring their memory with deep gratitude and solemn respect. and law enforcement officers play a vital role in safeguarding our neighborhoods, maintaining peace, upholding justice, and responding to emergencies with professionalism, skill,

The commitment of police officers to public service reflects the highest ideals of duty in citizenship, and their actions often go above and beyond the call of duty in the interest of public safety. And National Police Week provides an opportunity for citizens to express appreciation for the
daily risks officers accept and the burdens they carry on behalf of others as well as to recognize the support and sacrifices of their families and communities across the nation stand united in their respect for law enforcement profession and their commitment to strengthening the

Dealama. Yes. Councilman Desai. Councilman Pascitti. Yes. Council Vice President Dr. Greenberg Bell. Yes. Council President Sohar. Yes. Seven yeses. Okay. Report of the township clerk. So, the only thing I have, council president, is to remind everybody about the primary election
coming up on June 10th. Um, that and also anybody Yes. Also, anybody who is who was in Ward 2, District 3 and Ward 2, District 5 will um be now voting at the
McDivet Elementary School rather than Obridge High School. Letters have been sent out to the affected voters. Plus, on our uh on our website and on the TV, we have a small little clip describing the changes out if anybody is interested
in watching it. Also, early voting has moved from our public library and will now be hold at the Old Bridge Civic Center right in this complex. Again, that's also on the website and on the uh TV studio.
Yes, she made a nice public service announcement. Thank you very much. make a question. Yeah. Um, do you know why they moved that? I mean, I don't like Old Beach High School to begin with as a polling place because it gets hot in there. It's terrible in the summer. But why did they move those? At the request
of the high school. They they have um sports. They have sports events and they always seem to their finals always seem to conflict with election in November. And then in June they also have a teachers inservice
day. So they're closed for the primary now, but what they do is they have an inservice day and everybody from the district goes to the high school. So we had parking issues the last time. So Big Divid only has one warden district in
it. It's a huge school. So it was it just made sense to move them there. So now we have one less polling location to worry about. As far as setup go, it was it was really researched and we went Dr. Greenberg, myself, the clerk, we all went with the
staff from the school to make sure and Councilman Dama, that's right, to make sure that it was going to be accommodating and be correct in the way, you know, you should have everything set up. With the success of our volleyball team, it seems that the finals always
lie on election day. and and speaking to the athletic director um Dan Demino that we we tried everything to figure it out. Uh and I know that since that is my ward, my district, right? Me too. Um we have voted in the high school forever,
whether it was in the lobby or uh during COVID, we moved into the into the gym when the county came in because we had quite a lot of conversations. the county had had said we never voted in a lobby
and then it was well we can't vote there because the machines don't fit it due to the new machines due to all of the technology that is needed you know you've heard like that Nighthawk routers whatever it is that they utilize lot of equipment it had to been it had to have
been moved right um Sandberg already has quite a number of wards and districts in there and um Nick Divot Mostly I think everybody in 23 and 25 their children go to McDer anyway any anyway. So it just seemed like the more logical place uh to
put folks. Um we just need to make sure that if you are listening to this ensure that you go to McDivet starting um the primary obviously if you can't make it there or it's a little bit out of the way you do have early voting that is both for the primary as well as the um
the general election as well on on Oh, I'm sorry. Right. Is it for the general as well? Yes. From there. Oh, moving forward. Cool. Okay. Good. Thanks. There will also be message boards out at the high school on election day directing people who did not know that they are no
longer voting at the high school directing them to McDiv. Also, I I believe there was a letter sent out to them and also hopefully on the ballot. Yes. Yeah, we we did ask the county uh county clerk's office to mark the change
in red. I don't know if that ever happened. So, we're waiting to see when the sample ballots come out if they were able to change the color because normally it's in black. So, they didn't know if they could do a separate run in red colored ink. Can I just have just
one request, Anna? Would it be possible if we can get the sample letter um if we could post it not only but on the website but also post it on any of the social medias as well? Not everyone's going to overbridgege.com. Can we just is it possible if we could possibly just um put it out there on social media as
well just so folks see it? Yeah. Did we do it? If we did it already, I apologize. I don't know if we posted the actual letter, but we've posted notices, but I'll check with Kate has the original letter. Yeah, just as we lead up if it's possible just, you know, as much information as possible getting
out. We did put out the the notification on all the social media sites, just not the letter because they're physically addressed to individual residents. So, we didn't put the letter up. All right. Thank you for all the work, Kate. That took time the logistics but
we want to get it right and we want to do it once because as um as councilman Palama said there is always seems to be a conflict and this way we resolve it in a positive way and everybody has a good place to park it. I don't know I think everybody like you said my children went
to McDiv too. So it's a good place to park. There's plenty of room and I think it's a it's a very good you know compromise. I really do. Okay. Well thank you very much Kate. Do I have a motion to accept her move it? Second motion by roll.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Councilman Desai. Councilman Pasitti. Yes. Council vice president. Dr. Greenberg Bell. And council president. Yes. Seven. Yeses. Okay. Is there a report from the township attorney? No, madam president. There is
not. Okay. It's an administrative report. Anna, thank you. On April 30th, 2025, at 1 p.m., bids were received, open, and read in public for the Police Department office renovation contract number 2025-46. Bids from eight contractors

and the production team of NBC's George to the rescue has resulted in a life-changing renovation for Obridge resident Tiffany Sheami and her two autistic daughters. With the support of the program and the Obridge building department, Tiffany overcame logistical
hurdles to make the muchneeded re renovation a reality. The process began in September of 2024 when Shea reached out to the building department sharing the opportunity she had been offered by the TV show. Over the next few months, the dedicated team at the building
department worked closely with her and the show's producers to ensure all necessary permits, approvals, and expect and inspections were completed swiftly and efficiently. Because of the building department's expedious processing of
necessary paperwork, timely permit approvals, and comprehensive reviews, the Sheami family home could be transformed into a safe and comfortable space for Tiffany and her daughters. The extensive renovation was completed in April of 2025. The Sheami family episode
of George the Rescue aired on NBC at the beginning of May. At this time, I'd like to acknowledge and thank the staff of our building department for assisting this resident with this life-changing renovation. To Matt McGawan and Keith Brennan and their entire crew, I thank them for all their help through all
these months. Um Nicole, please share this thank you with them. I'll make sure to reach out tomorrow as well. And uh we just thought we would put a little bit of a highlight on on that department. And this concludes my report. Thank you very much. Does anyone have any questions or comments for Anna?

three minutes. You're Yeah, we need a little adjustment and then we'll need another adjustment after that. One, no worries. No worries. Hi, good evening. My name is Don Perez. I live at 131 Disbra Road and I'm
actually calling regarding Disbra Road, hoping to make it a oneway. Can you hear us? Um, I'm sure you're all aware of Disbra Road, the bad curve that we live on. Um, it's very narrow. The speeding, the racing of the cars,
the traffic has gotten so bad. We can't get out of our driveways. The kids can't cross the street anymore. Um, it's become just a very, very dangerous road to live on for a residential area. It has become a major major throughway now.
People come from Amboy, cut through to 34. Um, it's just it's a mess. It's just a mess and we're asking for help. And I think a one way is probably going to be the best way to go. I think we've tried every other
um thing. And you know, we can't get anywhere. So, I'm hoping um this can help us for the safety of our families and the quality of life for us. I think we you know, we need some help.
Thank you. Thank you. Just a reminder, please no address. Well, lift it back up. And now we got to go. Get big Jacob. Good evening. Uh I'm also uh my name is Mike. I'm also a Disbra
Road resident. Um over the years I've emailed all of you. Um the one thing that you all have in common, at least for the ones that I've spoken to, you've responded. You say you know how dangerous the road is. You say that something needs to be done. 7 years now I've been there. Nothing's been done.
The only thing that's happened is a sign went up that says target enforcement zone. We know the police can't be there all the time. There's really very little enforcement at all. We deal with speeding. We deal with my pet peeve oversized vehicles. It's supposed to be
a 4 ton weight limit. We get box trucks, dump trucks, 18-wheelers. I've seen a New Jersey Transit bus. And we do get a ton of Oldbridge School District buses. seven to eight right after dismissal. One after the other after the other,
they go through the road. They don't drop off kids. They don't pick up kids. It's purely a cutthroat. Now, when you get to that bend in the road, you can't fit two cars. It's impossible. Unless you have two normalsiz passenger vehicles, one car has to stop to let the
other car come through. Does that sound safe to you? Does that sound like a two-way street to you? No. I have I have a four-year-old. I have a seven-month-old. I cannot let them play in the front yard. Where I live on my side of the street, there's
not a sidewalk. There's not even a shoulder. There's I can't let them be out there. Um I think we've exhausted all options possible. There's 25 miles per hour written on the road, target enforcement zone sign, 4 ton weight
limit sign. They all get ignored. Um when we got the traffic light at Amboy Road in Route 34, that was supposed to alleviate the traffic. Hasn't happened. Um during rush hour, cars back up halfway up the road. They're all trying to make the left onto
Amboy Road. Horns are honking all day long. Accidents at least once a month. Um it's not safe. There should be something done. Um like I said, we've exhausted all options. The best route to go is to make it a one-way street. I
really hope you consider it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anyone else in the public wish to be heard? Good evening. There we go. I got it. Hi, Paul Moravak.
Uh, ward six here in the township. Uh I saw tonight that we have the the clicker ticket uh on the agenda and I did also want to support the just concluded distracted driving event that we just had that we got uh money from the state.
In fact, when I was looking at it, Middle Sex County Oldbridge received the highest amount of funding to support this program. So, and it was almost double what the other townships got. was the maximum from the state for this
effort. I mean, we've also seen so many drivers nowadays that are weaving down the road. We see them, you know, probably going through lights. Uh my wife personally had a work colleague that was hit by and killed by a
distracted driver. So, it would be great if we could get a report from the police. I don't know what can be given out publicly as to the effectiveness of this last uh event that was from the 1st to the 30th of April. And also I would
act like I know money's tight, but if we could even have them, you know, this isn't a one month sort of a thing. This is a 12-mon sort of a thing to be able to have them go out on a random basis to be able to get some more of these people because the only way you get these
distracted drivers off and put their phones down is so that they feel on an ongoing basis that they could get hit at any point in time with a fine and a stop. So that was just my comment. I wanted to say thank you for
participating in this going after and getting the maximum amount of money and seeing if we can get some sort of report from them to see how effective it actually was. Thank you. Thank you very much, council president. Um if no one
else is Oh, there speak. Okay, somebody I had no idea he was going to be here tonight. Um, no, he's coming. I just wanted to say a few words in in regard to uh distracted driving. Um, we do have an aggressive driving detail that we have
uh set up here. Uh, myself and Anna did that last year. That's been very uh positive, very aggressive. Uh, we're out there. We're out there on Route Nine. We're out there on the highways. Uh, Route 9 was number one in accidents in that corridor for 2023 and I've been
getting a lot of emails from residents in regard to the highway because of the pre police presence. Um, but we're out there and our guys are always out there with getting grants or traffic guys. I think like you said to click it or
ticket is out there. But, uh, reach out to me anytime. uh you know uh with Disb Road uh we had a couple meetings over the past couple days. We're going to we just formed the traffic safety committee. I'd like to invite you guys and the mayor and can I invite the
council or not? Yeah. So we we'll we'll get together and we'll discuss that roadway. I know there's some roadblocks because it touches a state highway. It touches a county uh county road. It's a little more complex, but I completely understand your concern. So, but we are
going to uh take a look at the enforcement part of it um and see what we can do with our traffic guys. Uh you know our traffic guys very well that they're out there every day, especially on Lambertton Road. Um but again, thank you for your concern and we we're uh we're going to definitely uh look into
the Dar Road issue. Right. Thank you. Thank you so much. Wishes to be heard this evening. I'll ask for a motion to close the public portion. Second. Moved by Council Vice President Dr. Greenberg Bell. Second by
Councilman Asetuli. Roll call. Councilman Asatulli. Yes. Councilwoman Daro. Yes. Councilman Dealama. Yes. Councilman Desai. Yes. Councilman Pasci. Yes. Council Vice President Dr. Greenberg Belli. Yes. Council President Sohar. Seven News. Council President,
can I say something about the Disbra Road? Um, I received a petition that I'd like Kate to copy and give to all the council. A petition about the Disbra Road making it a oneway. Um, I live in that area and uh, I've lived there for
almost 40 years and I've noticed in the last year or two it has become horrific living over there. Visbrow road is a very narrow road. It cannot hold two larger size vehicles. Um, and the traffic coming from 34 when you come to
Amboy, you cannot see down the hill. If most of the cars on Amboy road do not do 40 miles an hour and if they're not, you could look and it looks like no one's coming. And when you start to go across, if they're going over 40, there's collisions. There was almost a collision on my way here today. We see so many
near misses. Every day I see at least three, such close ones. In fact, council president was in an accident there herself. some speeder hit her as well. Driving, huh? She wasn't driving. But it's a very bad intersection. I've actually seen fatalities there and I
don't want to see it again. And I feel like if it was a oneway and stop the traffic coming from 34, there wouldn't be any more fatalities there. And I think that mostly it's not used by residents. I think people are using it as a cut through to get to uh to avoid
Route 9 and 34 because most 90% of the people are turning a left onto Amboy Road and the traffic backs up to the curve every between 5 and 7 at night is horrific and a lot of times people don't even stop at the stop sign and they'll just gun their cars go right across and
they're doing Lambertson like 80 miles an hour at night. Um so I think if it was a oneway it would really stop a lot of these problems in the area. I'll make sure that all of you guys get the copy of the petition.
Okay. Thank you very much. Comments, Councilman Estatuli. Yes. First, I want to Welld deserved Police Department Chief Casey. Thank you. Welld deserved. Not because just because you do your job, but you go above and
beyond. Just based on my experience, you don't just hit it here. You take the next steps and you really make the residents feel like they're important. I really appreciate you and welld deserved. You know, with Memorial Day coming up, I always tell my daughters when they see a veteran, you should go
up and say thank you for your service. So, a couple weeks ago, me and my family said thank you to a veteran. He turned around and said, "Thank you to us." So, I was like, "But it was you." He goes, "Thank you for noticing." So, I as we get ready for
Memorial Day, I'd like to take a moment to talk about what it means to us, regular folks who love our country and our community. This day isn't just about barbecues or a long weekend. It's about remembering the everyday heroes, our veterans who gave everything to keep us
safe and free. Think about it. These were people like us, neighbors, friends, family, sisters, moms, dads, brothers who put on a uniform and stood up for our way of life. They fought in wars far
from home, face dangers we can't even imagine. And some never made it back. Because of them, we can raise our kids, go to work, enjoy a ball game, or just sit on our porch in peace. Memorial Day hits close
to home. It's about the empty seat at the table, the flag folded for a family, the stories of courage we pass down. Let's honor them by looking out for our veterans, sharing their stories with our children, and living in a way that makes
them proud. This Memorial Day, let's say thank you together as a community for their sacrifice. Thank you, Councilwoman Daro. Thanks, Keith. Um, Paul, I so funny because I was gonna
ask you you came out talking about something else this time. So, good for you. You're you're bringing up all the all the issues. That's great. Um, with I'm glad Chief Montagno is here to to talk to you about the distracted driving and um hopefully that you know, it's
always good when you know, you guys get together and talk. I think that's great. So hopefully that will um fines are the way. You can you can put up signs. You can say please don't. It's the fines. You're absolutely right.
So anyway um and uh Dawn, we've talked on the phone. It's nice to meet you. Nice to see you in person. Um and it's funny that that you're here because well you you're here talking about Dis Brow Road which I agree and we talked about this. I agree 100%. as you know
everybody does that should be a oneway question if we do a one way which way would it go? It would uh be you could only go from Amboy to 34 because if you come from 34 to Amboy that's where the accents happen so they can't see down the hill. Got it. Yeah. Okay, that makes
sense. Okay. Um so hopefully we can we can get that done, you know, and um it's always good to come to meetings and discuss it, you know, so that the whole council can hear. Um what I the other thing that um let me say the other thing that I wanted to talk about with regard
to conversation that we had one of the things uh we had talked also about rent control and um I actually had two people reach out to me regard Dawn was actually one of them and then another about rent control and um there was a little bit of
I don't know if it was ambiguity or I don't know about um whether or not uh our are our apartments were rent controlled and was it just which ones? Was it just the apartment complexes? Was
it single families with less than four dwellings? Um and there was you know so I've had actually in the past two months I've had two people well past couple months I've had two people reach out to me. So um is there some and I know the ordinance is is been around a while. Is
there a way that we can maybe take a look at that ordinance again to maybe it's a little ambiguous. Maybe we can revisit the um the ordinance so that it's a little bit more clear. Um I don't know. It's just a question I have for council or for anybody that's this is
very clear. That's what I was told that it was the person that was reached to me. I was said was a little ambiguous. You have a copy of it with you? I don't have a copy of it with Well, I have it in my computer somewhere, but um that that's what was said by someone from
Yeah, that's what was said. It's very clear, Councilwoman. You can look it up. I did I I did read it and and but there were questions about it. So, all I'm asking is maybe we can just look at it because they weren't sure. That's all
I'm asking. Yeah, there's only 13, I believe, complexes that are under the rent stabilization in Oldbridge through the ordinance. It's just the way it works. But as it goes longer and longer, more will be added. That's the way it's read.
If you have questions, then you know that's fine. You can just sit down. I had re you know two people two residents reach out to me so I was just conveying that just trying Gina Talamo is the uh
um the uh the chairwoman of the rent stabilization board and she's well verssed in that she can tell you all about it. Thank you. Um, okay. And so the other thing, uh, I
got Oh, and so where are we with the tree ordinance? Do we um did we Mark, did we are we doing anything with that? Are we not? Not not no because again I I think after speaking to M or Forester uh
and explaining to him how it works. I think that as I said before I think the issues that were raised are addressed in the ordinance. I think there was one aspect of it uh that was brought to our attention uh that we could probably you know add to it but the other items
dealing enforcement were are there uh and again so those are now being enforced from from the enforcement officers. Okay. So so you know I'm going to speak with Gary uh regarding that the the one aspect to I think further
clarification run by him. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about that part yet. Okay. Thank you. We're just trying to follow up on all the the things. Okay. And um and that was it. I wanted to say Oh, also congratulations to Casey and the entire public works department.
You guys deserve it. Um you know, absolutely wanted to also say thank you to you and Anna for always responding to my to my email requests and you know, respond. You guys like respond within like minutes sometimes. So, thank you very much for that. And also congrats to
the police department also. So welld deserved. You guys are awesome and um very welld deserved. So congratulations to you guys and uh that's it. Happy Memorial Day everyone and um have a great rest of the week. Thank you Councilman De Palama. Thank you. Uh so
quickly happy belated Mother's Day to everybody. I didn't get a chance to say last time. I actually thought there was a council meeting in between. So uh I apologize to all the mothers, my wife, my mom, and everyone else out there. Um, you know, thank you to the residents coming out from from Disbra. Um, I know
all of us up here probably are 100% behind all public safety. People have heard probably me speak in nauseium about speeding, slowing down, making sure that everybody is safe. Um, I know that the police department will make sure that they do the diligence along
with um the county and the state to see what's best for that roadway and the residents. So obviously I don't think I understand that um this has been a longgoing issue. I think the hope was that the traffic light would be of some
level of help but now the next step would be any and all traffic studies that the police department along with the county and state would come up with. So we'll see what what comes out from there and then make sure that we make the right decision for the residents. But thank you guys for coming out.
um sometimes coming to the council is a little bit better than getting um emails over to us. So, thank you all for coming out. Um, secondly, tonight I typically do
not comment on things that happen outside of the purview of this council, but things have come up um explicitly with the the board of ed and the taxes that are on the agenda for tonight. So,
I I have full faith and trust that the board of ed will make the right decision for our children and for this district. What Tony please let me speak. Um, some of the things that I just do want to discuss is some of the the information that has been put out
there that is quite frankly wrong or false. No one in this township has a tax abatement. Every piece of property on this town that is privately owned pays taxes on the assessed value of that land. Whether it is an individual home
like myself or the warehouses on Route 9, the discussion of the pilot the pilot program that was discussed with the with the seg right now there is no pilot program.
There is no signed pilot agreement between us and those warehouses and that and that developer. At this point, they are paying the assessed the taxes on the assessed value of that land. That assessment is based off of the use of
that land and is a tax appropriately whether it's the percentage that goes to the town, the border, the county, the fire district, whomever. No one is getting a tax abatement. No one is getting a cut out of um what they owe based off that assessment. Right? So, I've gotten a
number of phone calls, a number of inquiries specifically about that. I just wanted to make sure that I that I address that. The other item is the assessments. As far as I understand, no one in Middle Sex County, no town has
been assessed in the in the recent um past, probably in the past 20 to 30 years if I'm not mistaken. Reeal. Reevaluated. Yes. So it's I understand that we live in a
township that borders Mammoth County that does it on a regular basis. Is it annually? Okay. On an annual basis. So there is a re-evaluation of the assessed value of land every single year. Middle six county does not do
that. So when folks say that it's the township, whether it is 25 years ago, 30 years ago, or today's administration, it's not that we're not doing it. Our tax assessor has been
ramping up, getting ready to do these re-evaluations over the over the past um past year or so to to get ready for it. So those are coming, right? Right. And I think the mayor talked about how those how those assessments some folks will go up, some folks will go down.
What what that will be, I don't know. I don't have the math in front of me. Um but I just want to make sure that we that when we're up here talking, we're dispelling the the things that are that are being said that aren't true. Right? So the pilot program for the or the
pilot agreement that goes along with those warehouses is not signed. they are responsible for the assessed value of that land and the taxes that are associated with it and the re the re-evaluation the re-evaluation as um I'm being
corrected that is coming I don't know we don't have timelines but that will be coming in the near future so folks just have to be aware of the process that will happen and really what has not happened in the past is not the fault of
this administration the prior two three, four administrations. None no town in Middle Sex County has been reassessed. So, I just want to make sure that we that we are clear on those and that folks understand if you have questions, please reach out to one of us, right?
We'll put you in contact with our tax assessor's office, you know, our our CFO who's a wealth of knowledge with these things. They'll be able to give you the facts that go along with it as opposed to getting some information on on folks that are just using social media to
vent. And I understand it. I'm a taxpayer. I have two children in the school system. I understand what will happen and won't happen should certain things occur tonight at that at that board of ed meeting. But I just want to make sure that folks have the right
information, right, wrong, or indifferent. I just need to ensure that folks understand. So, I typically don't uh comment on this. I think our purview is what happens up here at the township, but since we've gotten so many inquiries, so many um questions come in
on this, I just wanted to make sure that I addressed it. Uh and finally, everyone, happy Memorial Day. Please be safe, please be smart, have fun, but make sure that if you're out there driving, please ensure that you're safe. If you're at a party, Uber is a
wonderful thing. The one thing that is great about the the newer generation, the folks that are in their 20s, I have never seen one of those folks even think about getting into a car after a party. Uber is a wonderful thing. Lift is a wonderful thing. No matter if you're 20,
30, 60, or 80. If you have one, if you have two, call the Uber, leave your car behind. Thank you, Councilman Desai. remembering those veterans who lost their life on those all foreign wars for
the sake of our country and I think it is a good tribute on Memorial Day we should all join in the parade and remember those
veterans and also if you see the relatives of the me veterans. We should talk to them and appreciate what they gave up for us defending our interest and our
causes. Again, happy Memorial Day. Thank you, Councilman Pasitti. Yes. uh Memorial Day uh federal holiday honoring and uh mourning uh military
personnel who died serving us in the armed forces. We have to remember freedom is not free. Men and women paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms that we have today. So enjoy your Memorial Day, but
please be mindful of uh those that went before us. Um on June 11th, uh there is a um an event called Coffee with a Cop. It's from 9 in the morning to 11 in the
morning at Shopright of Old Bridge on June 11th. Um Coffee with a Cop brings Oldbridge police officers and the community members they serve together to discuss issues and learn more about each other. I think this is a great thing
that our police are doing and um kudos to Chief and your department and to uh Casey. Thank you, bud. That's it. Thank you, Council Vice President Dr. Greenberg Ble.
There's always a lot going on in town and a lot of positive things and I I always try to concentrate on those. And first of all, I want to thank all the Karen Luiki and all the volunteers um for the time and dedication they give to the Special Olympics. We went to the
open ceremony. We watched some of the events. It was really really special to see that there are those people that step up and and make that event possible. The Olympians were so happy in in every event that they did. I am very proud of this town. When
you look at our police force here, you know, their presence is so important. They're professional. They they're very very involved with the community and they are individually always thinking of different ways to make this town um better. It's just not doing their job.
And like you hear that people come up and they talk about their traffic and or whether people are riding distracted. It is tragic to me that people just can't follow speed limit signs. They're out there. Before you took your driver's test, you had to take a written test.
You took a driving test. How dangerous it is on the road with so many people driving now. And when you think of it, a vehicle is really, it's like a weapon. So, thank you for all that the police department does. Thank you for the road. We all feel that way. And um I know that
um your issues are being addressed. I know that we've had conversations. I'm on the shade tree commission, you know, um we revisiting the tree ordinances. So, because we want to get this right, like you said before, there's unintentional um
consequences. Uh Councilman uh Dealma talked about um the board of ed tonight and you know, it is sad when there's misinformation that's um given out and it really is confusing to people and it's very upsetting. Um and there's no
need for it. Um I really think if you give out the proper information, people would understand it. But tonight, I am fearful. I don't know what's going on. I wish it it was a different night. I would like to be there. But that board may meeting, their vote could change
everything for us tonight in this town. They've already raised our taxes 9.9. Just say 10. We've only felt 5% of that because the way their calendar year is, it's coming now. It is nonsustainable. I'm not blaming just the board of ed
although I feel there should have been um more as this was going on from the state more long um long range planning. It really is on Murphy and his administration to think that we have the lottery in this state. To think that we
have gambling now online. To think that we have Atlantic City. And when you think that this governor, and I say it all the time, raised our budget the only he's he's going to be here the end of eight years, more than
$2 billion a year. And you keep on coming taking money away from this district with absurd reason that our houses should be evaluate like we should be paying more taxes. Does anyone feel that they're not paying enough taxes? I don't think so. That's a little crazy.
Um and the valuation only comes through the county. We just can't arbitrarily say, "Oh, we're going to do a re-evaluation." That's from the county. And it's a very tedious process. It's been going on for two years now. As the mayor spoke about it, it's revenue
neutral. You don't get more revenue from it. And no one's selling even if your house values more. You're not selling your house to send your kids to public school or to any school, I'm sure. So, so I'm very fearful what's going on
there and it's very unfortunate. It doesn't need to be happen. Murphy decided to take money away all the time. Yet, they're giving money, our taxes. Think of it. You pay income tax, you pay sales tax, you pay your real estate tax. And every dollar that is taken that we
collect in this town, I know I repeat it all the time because people don't understand it. We only get 17 cents out of every dollar to run the whole town. That's the magnificent police department and our road department, let alone everything else that goes on. So that's
a small percentage and I think we're doing very good. And in fact, the money that you get from the state, that has gone down. Although, when you look at the board of ed, they got $6 million more, if you think about it, in taxes that are coming in, the revenue from the
municipality, whether it's based on target, whether it's based on shop rate, all the shops that are going on there, the housing developments that are going on, which that that's another another issue that's coming through the state that they mandate that you have to build
more units. It's It's insane. But that's what we're dealing with. And it's really falls on Murphy taking cuts from this, giving it to a school district where the kids don't even go to school, but they keep on pouring more and more money into
a school. I feel bad for these kids. I feel feel very bad for them. It comes from the family and it comes from poor management in the city of Newark. It's it's it's really pitiful. So, that's what's going on there tonight. And I'm and I'm very very scared of what we're
going to learn about tonight when that meeting ends and what's going to happen tomorrow. It doesn't have to be. And also I just want to say at this time, you know how people use Facebook to disseminate information that's
not not only a lie, it's it's malicious. So I I don't Facebook at all. I I always feel if someone has something to say to me, come talk to me. I'll come talk to you. But there's this all there's something now called All Square Oldbridge. They're using it as a parody
um for our that newspap for a newspaper all around. But I do feel it's unfortunate, but I do feel it's unnecessary to comment about the offers. The author of this pit um such pitiful trash is nothing but malicious and
vicious. Why would anyone spend time writing some of the outrageous things that they wrote? This is my opinion. I I just I just feel bad for them that this this is how they spend their time. Just because one calls it a parody does not
allow one to be disgusting and vile and spread such falsehoods. One thing for sure, the person whoever or persons whoever are writing these things, they're a coward because they're not using their real name. you know, it's real easy to be on a keyboard and write
whatever you want and it does you don't even think about how they feel with anyone else. So, basically, it's pretty sleazy and um I guess they're not putting their name because I guess they're worried about whether there could be possibly any legal
ramifications on this. But based on the followers that are clapping and enjoying this, it's it speaks volumes. It is appalling and pathetic that one would spend the energy to write such nonsense. My suggestion would be to this individual or individuals, please find
something that you enjoy your life. Look at something positive. Find some peace and happiness. Maybe instead of wasting your time writing this foul, disturbing rhetoric, may I suggest you take a yoga class or think of meditation. It's
totally sophomoric and it's time to grow up and be productive in society. And it's sad when we have to say these things, but when people public as just as the public came up here tonight and spoke different things, people in the public brought the you know some of the
things that were on Facebook to me and I I was I was disgusted by it. It's not it's not funny and and I just think it's sad that they have to do that. And then ending when you think of Memorial Day, really take time to reflect and to
remember those who did make the ultimate fa um sacrifice. And um really every day I honor those who serve and protect us at home and abroad. Have a wonderful spring. Thank
you, Council Vice President. So Council President, it's okay. I demoted you. I can have a demotion. That's okay. Grab the chair. Well, again, um, as far as Memorial Day, yes. I mean, my family,
my dad was a veteran. My husband, it goes on and on. We all, we all share the same feelings about veterans that something to be respected and to be remembered. We do have a beautiful parade. If anyone wants to come down, Lawrence Arbor is beautiful. Come by the
water. The parade is really, it's very, it's a very nice parade. a lot of the bands, the schools. So, it's something that everybody could enjoy. The kids, you know, so think about it. It's on Monday, right? And it starts Monday. What time is the nine? Yeah. 9. Okay.
So, everybody just keep that in mind. It would be nice to come and celebrate with us. Um, as far as special needs, I was also there when they passed the torch at the at Lombardi Field for um the special needs. Karen Lewiki has been doing that now for many, many years. and uh she's
amazing and so are all the coaches that help make that happen and the police that come and give out the medals. The kids just absolutely love that part of it. It's a it's a very special event and um it was really it was really good very
very good this year and you know all the things that are going on are good but like they said also echoing about um what the problems that we're having now with the you know with the budgets and and the school board as well again just just look for what the facts are that's
that's it not not anything more this is very serious and I take sometimes I take offense to some of the things that are being said and I think you have to just really not rely on social media. Please watch YouTube the um the board of ed
meetings as you would the council meetings and as far as Anita was speaking about this Oldbridge Square or whatever the heck you call it all around Oldbridge Square. Um it it is something to really um think about. We are such a
proud and beautiful community and that kind of writing is an embarrassment whether it's about me or you or anyone out there for for people that live in this town to write those things. It's disgusting. And we are
better than that. We are way better. Our town is a classy, positive town. And that's just trashy. Period. And by the way, this week I was part of that, you know, a victim of all this nonsense. So that's okay. But at the end of the day,
please when you when you see things like that, take it in take in mind, think about that. Why would you write those kind of things about our town or any any person living in this town and if you do applaud it as she said, I can't
understand why. As far as Disbel Road goes, thank you for coming out. Um I think the chief again puts you at ease that he is going to do the best he can to come up with this alternative and do the research and get it done. So that was a good thing and you know everyone
here was very receptive to what you said. So thank you for coming and sometimes it does take takes a while but we uh definitely now that we have a full-time chief I think this is this is going to work out. So everyone have a good night. I'd like to call go into
close session. Yep. We need a a motion and a second to enter executive session. We will be adjourning and not coming back into open session. Move it. Moved by Councilman Deal. Second.
Can somebody second for me? Councilman Pasitti. Roll call. Councilman Asatuli. Yes. Councilwoman Daro. Yes. Councilman Deal. Councilman Desai. Councilman Pasitti. Council Vice President Dr. Greenberg. Belly. Yes. And
Council President Silver. Seven yeses. 8:45 p.m. Yes. Now it's quiet tonight. Oh, I know. It was horrible. Mark
