philanthropy work, taking care of the community and the students. beyond the call as a teacher. She's been a great leadership for the students many years um through generations. I would like to uh still and I'll send this over to Mary Tlagio and she works

it is, I will get it out to everybody so they can see it before the workshop. If not, uh we'll Um I I was part of the planning board there. It took like the whole planning board special meeting for about two hours and 30 40 minutes. Um there were
much more questions that needs to be addressed and answers and uh we as a planning board member decided that we're going to meet at the next regular session which is going to be the third Wednesday of next month. So we may not be able to prepare that for a workshop
but The settlements had nothing to do with the pl. The settlement is the issue of the lawsuit. >> That's the my apologies. >> No, the the project itself is a different >> Okay. My apologies. >> You're good.
>> All right. So, Sopia, let's uh continue with the strikeouts pulls out pulled out for 18 to 189. >> Okay. Considering the resolution 2026 st 165, 1667, 168 69
170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 184
185 186 187 190 191 193 194 >> Council members questions, concerns about the consent agenda? I have a question >> regarding claim claims. >> Yes.
>> What happened to 619 which 619? There is a 65 in it but I don't see any 69 which is already I guess
>> there is no that's because you know the whole the total amount unfortunately it was everything I can think of that I know that there was a problem with the um computer and when
Jack sent it the first time, it had to get I don't know Sophia, I think you know a little bit better, but he had to resend it to someone else and then they printed it. So that's unless you have something specific about an item. This is
so that >> it might be that's why it's missing. I don't know which specific one. I did not. So there are two payroll every month, right?
One is June 5th. The other one is June 19. I see June 5th. I don't see June 19 unless I miss something >> because the total number is very low months. What page are you?
>> There's no page. >> Well, the page is at the top. At the top, not at the bottom. >> Top left. >> Page 23. >> Really? Yeah, the top left. >> You say there's a blank piece of paper
in there. >> There is one piece of blank paper. >> Yeah, that's just >> So Christine, what is your question again? So every claims every month we have a two times pay two times one is
six for this month I only see one unless I miss it. So I'm actually bring everybody's attention because six I see the payroll all this number but I don't see 619 which has been paid the revenue
or I wonder is missing out of my package. >> Okay. So, if it is missing, let's do this. If it is missing, we're not passing that. >> Yeah, but this is just claims. I get it. But she's saying that because a certain
payroll she's saying is not listed. Why is that listed? >> Yeah, but I get it. I get it. >> But but my point is this. The governing body decides on the claims on what is provided. If it's not provided, it's not passed. >> But mayor, what I'm saying is the
payroll is already paid. >> So whether you pass or not, payroll is already paid. >> It's not like you're not paying bill. >> So in other words, what happens, counselor, if if we don't officially pass a payroll and it's already paid, do
we have to come back next month to pass? >> I guess you would add it. I guess to answer your question, you would have to add it again, but I don't know if it's not in this. >> I don't know. I'm trying to find out. >> There's some problems with this going back and forth.
>> But but counselor, is it okay that is okay? >> I would pass this. >> Yes. Pass it >> and then if there's something missing, we'll pass it next month. >> It's not We're doing this on purpose. No. Again, if it was a bill, I would say you couldn't pay the bill.
>> Yeah. >> But it's payroll, which is already paid. >> So, >> I agree. Any more questions concerning agenda? >> Well, I have one more question. The last uh resolution which is 194
related to your I thought what happened to calendar year 2023 the last 194 this is the last >> the question is that where's 2023 Right.

and after 26. >> So 2023 will be paid. >> Yes ma'am. >> Any more questions? Yes. >> Okay. 20 36- 166 the recurrence.
>> Yes. >> Just one my question is okay. Uh what happens uh who had the recence already but uh is it that two
owners are not here and they they they don't want you for the next year. So here >> for example to put like the last year they had like 18 company had >> like
okay but this year two two company are missing >> oh one missing because of yes cannot >> no not like the evergreen and grand avenue restaurant uh two company they had license but in last year until June but
>> what's it called Okay. Can I explain because usually we do the renewal every year and >> but they requirement to the renewal. What is that? They have to clear for test clearance. They have to pay for the
safety. They have to pay for the fee as 2500. Unfortunately this company as you mention it evergreen and grand and then I think the MC they also didn't they clear.
>> Okay, so there's two. >> So they going to apply for add this year for the next month. So they going to come home and the meanwhile they have to process their tax clearance. So we're going to pass the rest of the 27 but I believe 20 26 actually including the you
going to add in we're going to pass for the next for the rest of the apply for license. >> Okay then. Okay. uh if they do apply again later like in July or in August,
right? Uh do we change the license number? >> No, they don't have to. Same license, they just simply for that >> just keep the same number, right? >> Yes. >> Unless they been transferred. So everything is so because meanwhile
sometimes the legal license they've been transferred the last will change. Yeah, the for example last year like the MMC Pal located 257.
Okay. Uh they Okay. Uh >> they they didn't pass this year this month for this. >> They did not apply for this year. Yeah. >> No, because they applied for they didn't. >> Okay then. Okay. uh in June when we

>> Everybody say yes. >> Everyone voted. >> Yeah, everybody voted. Okay. >> Yeah, I I I missed too. >> All right. So, everything's passed. >> All right. Any reports?
>> Yes. See here. All right. council report to start with uh our council president. >> Sure. Um regarding resolution 2026 190
and 191 that have passed for the public's benefit. I do want to explain what's in these resolutions and this is part of the board's effort to basically enhance how we make personnel decisions
and give it more structure in place. So resolution 190 addresses our hiring process for all four employees. And what the resolution says is that each full-time open position will be
posted on the board's website and at a minimum an interview will be conducted by the head of the department and the relevant council of committee members. And for any supervisory or managerial position, an interview will
be conducted by the board administrator and the relevant council committee members. And the reason we add in the add in the council members to be part of the interview process is really to provide
additional layer of oversight. When we have multiple people interviewing, decisions are not made based solely on a single individual's judgment. So it's intended to promote fairness
for the uh hiring process. So that's the resolution on hiring. The second resolution relates to how we evaluate the performance of our employees. So it sets out that there will be
midyear and end of year evaluation for all burough employees. Midyear evaluation will be performed between June and July and end of year will be performed between November and December
and all of the employees will be subject to an evaluation and the criteria will be developed by the or administrator and obviously with the you know collaboration from the each department.
It does separate out three positions to be subject to a different evaluation process. And those positions are the for administrator, the for clerk, and the police director.
And the reason these positions are identified to be subject to a different process is because these positions present unique leadership positions. So we
wanted to make sure that these specific officials are fulfilling their responsibilities effectively and we will get input from the mayor and every council member to ensure that they are fulfilling their duties and
responsibilities. So mid year will should be in effect starting now through end of July. So every council member and the mayor should provide their written feedback regarding the performance of the board
administrator or clerk and the police director by the end of July and submitted to the board attorney as part of the evaluation process. And and my hope is that by having that structure in place,
it promotes a sense of professionalism to everyone. And I think that's very important because the borrow is is an institution which which means it remains when people come and go positions remain. So when we set
up this structure in place we're basically defining this is the burrow of healthy parks institutional character and we're trying to incorporate professionalism into that character. So I hope that this is the beginning of
like a new norm for everybody. So so that is it on these resolutions. Hopefully that explain um what's actually in these resolutions. Um and from the finance committee I would just reiterate that the budget hearing is
next work session which is scheduled for July 21 at 6 p.m. >> And that is it. >> U Council President, I want to congratulate you. Kudos to you for spiritating the resolution 19191 which
you specifically explained. It is a structure and the standard protocol that the pearl urgently needed. So I appreciate it very much for for creating this and thank you Alan to making sure this fine duty. Um

names will be submitted. I think you know those names next month. Okay. Yes. That they could join recreation if it's okay. >> Um the and um I talked about the scholarship last week and and if you don't mention me, mind me mentioning Valerie Ramirez
uh wrote me a beautiful thank you note and Mayor Kim said that she she gave you a thank you note. And I know it used to be contingent that the uh scholarship recipient would only get their money from the board of ed upon the receipt of the thank you note. So, you can let them
know that we received those notes and that money could be released to you right away because I know you will have big expenses for for college coming up. Um the um um yeah, the graduation was very impressive. Uh I was glad I was

>> Okay. Great. Thank you, >> Councilw. >> All right. Thank you very much. Now, let's go to our attorney reporting for executive session. I already talked to you about Maris, so the rest is for >> Thank you, sir. How about the BA report?
Mayor, um I'm actually going to piggy back because our engineer isn't here tonight. I'm handing out their report. Uh it's self-explanatory. It's a lot of what I talk about. So >> for what? >> Sorry. >> Who? >> Engineer for what?
>> Our engineer's report. >> Oh, report. Got it. Got it. So anyhow, I'm going to hand this out early. So I'm not going to I do need to clarify something. I mentioned there was some computer
issues. There were a number of emails that went back and forth between the clerk's office and the finance office. The um bills list in this package is session. I was just asked to look at the date and it's dated 613. She the clerk's
office was sent the packet with the new one on 623 622. We did not get it to so she does have a copy and if you would send it to everyone that would be great. So it's all up to >> if you don't have it issue and then
that's it. Yes, >> I like the first uh we are getting like resolution is like this right also we are getting by the email but after the
session we just have to keep this but there is some the resolutions deleted and there is some resolutions changed Right. >> So we want to get like the executed the resolution list or
something after the after the regular meeting. >> So can we do that? That will help us a lot because we this is too bulky. Okay. So we keep like all the digital but the digital is the resolution is we received
before the regular meeting. Right. But we need actual executed one after meeting. certified resolution. >> Yes. At the end of the at the end of the month. >> Right. >> Right. Right. Right. I understand it could be a little bit confusing because in the in
digital format or >> Yeah. by the email >> we are getting this by the email before the >> like all these changes while we're doing it. We want certified >> certified final version >> after for every resolution they're
asking >> certified >> and then scan dated and email. So they don't get they don't get a package they would just get >> the last one the last person the last certified >> yeah the reason >> you mean certified reg
in it >> you don't have to do that the thing is okay as we conduct our business today for example we need some impromptu modification. >> Yeah. >> Right. You want to say >> No, no, I'm not I'm not I'm not understanding. >> No, you're doing it.
>> I'm doing it because I don't know. I am not sure I understand what what these anti >> but then we just made these modifications. Sometimes it happens. >> So, at the end of the day, the council members would like to keep a record not of the prior but the final certified
>> but just the one >> resolutions >> that changed. Just take out the word certified. Let's just say final draft of the >> final. Well, it's the same thing. It just tells you that final draft. >> Yes. >> Not certified, but finally at the
change the change the resolution. >> I mean the director keeper would like to have that. Why not? You know, >> in other words, the final one. So it's no confusion. >> No confusion. >> For example, two resolution that was just pulled today, right? So you want
the actual agenda that okay for example like see like the resolution number 236-1 154 that was the uh table but uh it looks
like it was executed or something. >> So >> so we just write the number and check 154 whether it is certified or not. Actually, it was in. >> So, in other words, you want a final version of the agenda.
>> Yes. Final. >> That's easy, right? Right. >> Whatever digitally send it to other council members and also if you don't want that too. I think that's confusing. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
This is when you can bring it out. This is the version. when with the strikethroughs and the comments and that's your agenda. So just want to make sure I'm I'm clear. So this agenda that's presented and the removal is part
of the official minutes of the of the of the meeting. Um so let's just say to make this easy. So one resolution what was it? Uh 1889 were cold.
there they're there they're there you could have an agenda that doesn't have those in it but that doesn't mean that it was passed >> but let's just say >> that's what you saying the council president the councilman was asking for the resolutions that were passed
>> I guess the council's point was to make that whether the any resolution that has any stipulation or anything that has pulled right I think his point is to make to follow up every month what
happened to uh actual regiments that they made changed or or uh stipulation or the uh you know pull down or table. So you get all right here. For example, I don't know why this is confusing, but I really don't understand. >> All right. All right. All right. Here's my notes. Here's my notes, guys. Okay,
it says no one don't suck. I put my notes over here, right? Because this is not printed version. But let's just say I lost this, right? And I go, Sophia, could you get me another agenda of the of this? If you didn't finally amend it
the final uh re uh version of what happened after today, I'll be getting the one that's older. >> But that's the roll call for I'm I'm not This makes life easy. Do you Are you looking for just the agenda that was
finalized without the full documents? He doesn't want the resolution. >> Yeah, just the agenda. >> I've already he said the resolution. He just wants the agenda without >> without without the the items that were bold. It's It's your English that we all >> No,
he's sitting on the resolution. >> Don't take out Don't change the numbers. You can't >> let guys very easy guys. >> It's my suggestion. So, it's not >> I like I like I like that and I want to >> You understand? So, you explain it. >> Give you a very good example. Resolution
188 with 189 struck out, right? What we all want is after today the final version of the agenda that has 188 and 189 removed >> right indicators that res
whatever it is whatever pulled off or striking out doesn't matter let's just say I lost my notes I go Sophia you're the record keeper let me have the most updated version of the agenda after the meeting if you give me this one without my notes it's not updated
the strikes out are not it's it's still here. >> Why don't you just bring in see what happens just pulled. So what your your new the the new agenda not the new agenda but the after voting agenda you would have the following correct me if I'm wrong you would have
>> regular meeting of mayor and council April 286 dash removed >> remove >> and then it would say >> in executive session executive session of May 26 >> removed
and um for >> resolution 188 would say dash pole just like you have strike >> just like striking out >> strike out >> there you go now I understand >> can I just bring up something
>> he's he he he brought up a point uh example where resolution 154 was tabled the past month right now coming to next month right if anyone here remembers that that resolution table no one's
going to remember. So I guess the point that he trying to make is if we were to put any of the note on the following agenda or our following month that this resolution number has been table then we could still talk about that resolution
in that month. Are we going to bring it back or what happened to this? >> What happened to it? >> Right. So we're just we're just not talking about the table resolution. example. Okay, let me give you an example. Resolution 2026140.
That's the resolution to advertise hiring the DBW part-time worker, right? We passed the resolution. I want to see that record. Okay. But I don't and there is but I don't know
whether it was tabled or not. Okay. >> But to see that I have to go to the minute, right? and see the world >> very very you know the how difficult to read the minute. So but if we do if we
have like the final version of the agenda saying like 150 140 was table actually those not any if for example like 140 is table >> we can put the memo either take out or we can put the memo like as said like at
work session like this >> then we could >> yeah we could track the all records easily because we usually see all the old records and all the histories right to find out what happened in the past like the the recence of the transfer or
license record everything but it takes too long if we don't have such kind of digital and we have to leave this all of this otherwise I guess agenda >> so basically the best way
>> best way to do and that was that was a pool that wasn't >> stricken pool. I got it. >> Like what you just did today, right? On your resolution, you took out, you know, you said like for example, a past at
work session >> strike at work session what you did. That's good. >> Yeah. Okay. So, we're good, right? We all understand each other. If not, we could figure it out later. >> Oh, no. Let's not go further than this. >> No, no, no, no. There's only one thing. >> What? >> Because council Chin brought up the
part-time ad. >> Yeah, that's the that's the issue. Okay. >> No, but it was never Remember it was advertised. >> Yeah. Advertised for what? >> You don't have to advertise for part. >> We passed the resolution in April as the
2026. I don't remember it was >> right. Did you give qualification about remember I said you need any help? >> Yeah. But but did you provide it to me or is the qualification? >> No. Just don't have it. You could ask
him. I don't know if you have Right now, now I'm going to stop. I'm going to stop this please. This has nothing to do right now at this moment. You guys can talk this out later. >> It was not executed, right? So, please do that. Okay. That's my recommendation.
That's my suggestion. Okay. You didn't do that, so you do that now. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Now, no. Why would you do me a favor, Charlie? I mean, council shin. Next time you want to talk about this, talk about it on your council
report. Not we can pass this. We're we're right now stuck right now still at engineer. We're still stuck at public. >> This is this is not this is not the county work. I'm talking about the procedure the resolution we pass. It was not executed.
>> I got it. I got it. What I'm trying to say is do me a favor. It's a long thing that you wanted to do. You get an opportunity when you do your council reports. Next time you want to talk about this, talk about a council report. Go ahead. Go ahead. What else do you want to talk about?
>> I'm sorry to take your time too long, but I pointed out this already. Okay. We have the time track digital version and also we have time card. Time card is very old and it's vintage. So if we use
the time track which we used a lot of money for that, there's no reason we keep the time card like that. This a vintage like 30 years old one. Why? Why should we? >> Wait, but again, this is something that you could discuss with Roberto one on one.
>> Right now, you are talking to the public. Please let So, we can talk about this later. I got it. What else, sir? That's it. That's it. >> Thank you. All right. Good. Public participation. May I have a motion? Actually, please report.
>> Please report. Please come up. >> Happy birthday. not used to presenting this report so early. >> We want you to go over and celebrate your birthday, >> guys. I wasn't expecting this, but I was expecting to do this somewhere around 10 p.m. today.
>> Well, you could come back. >> Uh, mayor, council members, thank you for prioritizing the safety of the bur by hiring two additional law tonight. We wish them much success as they move on to the county police academy. On June 3rd, we held a very informative
presentation about intoxicated driving for our high school seniors. I'd like to thank the fire department, the Hangwood Hospital, EMS services for their assistance. Overall, we found this presentation is wellreceived and we wish the graduating class best of luck with their future endeavors. On Friday, June
5th, our officers participated in the annual torch run for the New Jersey Special Olympics. Uh they our officers along with the school school community jog through our streets holding the torch. We found it a great event for all and thank you to the council members who also showed up and got some exercise in.
Appreciate it. On June 6th, officer Lokai, Dwarte and Mancia attended the 2026 New Jersey Special Olympics closing ceremonies and they presented medals to the winning athletes that was down in New Jersey. a good our police department
is a substantial amount of money for the New Jersey Special Olympics. So, it was good that they were involved at the state level on that. Uh on the 9th of June, officers Fari, Chang, Mansia, and Chiao honored the legacy of our officers John Foli and Ryan Catrell who passed uh
John Foli in 2010 in October of 10 and Ryan Catrell in September of 2009. This was presented at the annual school uh scholarship ceremony and uh we congratulate the recipients of these awards. On June 12th, we participated in
our first ever chief of the day. Uh this was with a fourth grader named Scarlet from Libert School. Um she had a wonderful time. I believe our officers had just as if not the same or better. We had a great time with her that day and I'd like to personally thank all the officers who were involved putting that
together. Um June 12th, I'm sorry, on June 18th, we held a um New Jersey DMV motor vehicle inspection in our parking lot. Um it was well attended, excuse me, it was well attended. I believe we had over 100 people come through, get their
cars inspected. Uh we found many of them were residents who were taking advantage of this free service. Um as of this morning, we've had 12,311 incidences. Our officers
At this pace, we're expected to uh exceed 25,000 this year, which is the highest ever recorded in Pal's 105 year history. As you can see, the officers are very busy. Uh 2026 is a very busy year. And our officers are out there.
They're doing their job. They're working really hard. And we're facing right now approximately to probably exceed 25,000 incences by the end of the year. Um since we last met, we had 12 arrests. Two of them were domestic related. Uh 10 others were for multiple crimes our
officers detected. Uh this is proactive poling. Uh some of these notable arrests were on June 4th patrol detective Michael McJed 29year-old Richfield motorist was traveling through our miles of paraphernalia.
Made this arrest as a result of a motor vehicle stop. Um it's proactive policing. the same pro detective Michael McDonald made another arrest. Uh this time he arrested a 19year-old Jersey City man who had broke into a resident's
uh Ford F-150 pickup truck May 24th. Uh he stole the resident's wallet for $300 and his credit cards when he went to the scene. The uh resident had told him that he had got some alerts on his credit card saying that this was used at a McDonald's in Fon and a gas station in
North Bergen. So detective went out there, grabbed the video footage, uh sent some spas, identified the actor, and served him with that. So that's my report. Overall, I'd like to say that as you can see, uh there's something special happening in the Palisades Bar
Police Department. Uh as you can see by how many officers showed up tonight, uh we're one big family. Um all those officers that came here tonight did so on their own time. None of them are being paid to be here, but and they came here to support the newest officers because that's the way it goes. We
support our newest officers to our oldest officers. We build a strong community helps boost morale and I just like to let you know that uh we ran stats for our our midyear review which ended on June 15th and the stats were impressive.
Your officers are working hard. They're doing the job. They're keeping this community safe and I commend them and thank you for your time. >> Thank you very much. Happy birthday. Um, >> yes, director. >> I just I actually just returned from
everyone to visit a beautiful country that my wife happens to be corrooration. So, um, she speak the language. I could just nod and wait. Um and one other issue we have, we have an officer that's being treated for a
health related issue. Um getting counseling. Um we believe it's going to be a 30-day period. Um we can't uh really discuss much more individual, but it's a health related issue. Um once we know more and we can share more with
with the council, we do that. I just want to give you that. Thank you very much. >> Yes. Uh as you know we extended the pre parking at the six for three more three month three more months right? Yes.
>> The parking meter saying we pay only the up to 6 p.m. that display goes by two test. So there was some visitors complaining that they didn't know or they charge even after six but we are not charging right after six. So since
we extended three more months, I recommend actually I told this in the present meeting but I would recommend one more time to put some stickers saying like the F6 is preocking so you don't need to pay money or something like that some stickers for the parking
me otherwise. Yes, I I believe uh the captain's working on a sticker, but the one thing that we want to we want to point out is the way that we're consistent with the resolution. The resolution as it was
written deals with enforcement. Okay? We don't at at 6:00 till 10:00 in the morning, we do not enforce parking meters. Okay? Um when you first go on to the parking
meter, it says you don't have to to if you if you touch something right away, okay, it it comes off. We didn't want to shut we didn't want to shut them down. We looked into shutting the the kioses down for that period of time, but now you're going to have the problems with
the updates and you're going to have the problems with the power going down because they're they're solar powered and they charge that way. We didn't want to affect the longevity of these. We've got too much money invested in these parking kioses to basically cut their
livelihood down by shutting them off during this period of time. >> Oh, within you shut it off. >> No. So, we um Captain um is working on on on coming up with a >> very easy very easy you don't have to even go to the software. I think uh
Charlie >> we're gonna we're gonna get a laminated notice posted up. says that it's free from about to 6 p.m. >> And what we have done already, we have we have provided every business owner with a with a hand out saying it's not
enforced. Um >> again, again, it's a small screen. When you press something, it disappears real quick. I did it myself. All we want recommend if you got a better idea, that's fine. Laminate it. notice posted up saying that in English and Korean and
even Spanish if you guys want to stating that it's free after 6 PM >> we'll come up with >> 6 p.m. to what is it until >> the next morning >> next morning just say after 6 p.m. >> 6 p.m. But based on the the accounting
that we have done there, we haven't collected much money during that period of time. >> Okay, I got you. >> We will make sure we don't collect that. >> Yeah, we'll be all right. Thank you. >> I saw that I saw I just directly I know that we started launching the park mobile app, right?
>> Um that's that's live. I know that we saw the new signage that's going on all the channels for the posts. Um, I guess we can I know that we that part we can a we're able to program it just as soon as you go if it's at 6 o'clock and somebody tries to pick I know that there's a way
that they can notify you. Hey, >> it's hard mobile. >> Yeah, park does. So, at least that will help alleviate some >> You're right. There is the application that we have to address as well. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Captain. >> All right. Um, if there's no more
reports, I'd like to close it open to the public. Do I have a motion to to close it open to the public? Thank you. I have a second. All in favor? >> I public, thank you for your patience. Three minutes. Come on up, Ernie. Your price is right. >> Come on down.
