Glenmont Commons and we're just hoping for update on the road situation at Glenmont Commons. the last administration I was told that they were very close to making a deal and I just want to see if there's been any movement on that. >> Council President, >> um do you have any updates?
>> I I can to an extent, right? I mean, it's still an active litigation, so >> Okay. >> I'm just going to be careful and and not provide so much. >> Sure. >> Um but I did receive the file uh from prior council. Okay. Uh I've reached out to council for um Glenmont the um and
there is a proposed settlement on the table. >> Okay. >> Um we just need to review um because it's a little bit complicated in terms of at the end the township will um receive the roads. They will be dedicated back to the >> Sure. >> So we need to make sure that what is
given to the town is fully described, right? The rights of ways, the widths and things of that nature. And that's really for future improvements or future uh curbs or sidewalks or anything else that may want to go in. Right? So, uh that's the point where we are in the
settlement discussions. Right? So, I think everybody knows where they are. It's really now just hammering out >> what is the township actually receiving in terms of roads and what the long-term responsibilities of each of the parties are with regards to those roads. >> Okay.
>> All right. So, um, >> 2 months. >> Oh, that'd be wonderful. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that'd be amazing. Yes. >> I mean, that 2 months is realistic. I might be off by a month. >> Okay. >> Uh, but two months. >> It's been 24 years, so two months will be >> I'm just I'm just letting you know where
it is. Right. >> I hear you. No, I appreciate it. >> All right. I mean, with regards to the terms or dollars, I'm not going to answer it. >> Understood. If that's okay. >> Perfect. Yes. Absolutely. Thank you. >> Not a problem. Okay. >> Thanks. >> Anyone else? Oh no, Miss Venezia is not allowed
anymore. No, come on. I'm just kidding. Bob Vanzia Parcipony. When the previous administration hurriedly passed the park laned X pilot and the Lannedex warehouse pilot right before leaving office, the damage to
Paripony was not limited to the outrageous sums of future tax money that were needlessly given away to developers. I believe that the township also set a precedent for other developers to aggressively seek pilots similar to the
two that were just passed. At a minimum, I expect each of the other six developers in Precipany's affordable housing plan to apply for pilots in 2026. And I can almost guarantee that these developers will announce that their
projects cannot be completed without a pilot and they're going to do it right before the next review of Parcipy's affordable housing pro uh plan by the state. So, I strongly suggest that the administration take steps now to head
off the oncoming wave of pilot requests. This can be accomplished by issuing an executive order stating that under current economic conditions, it is not feasible
for Paripony to enter into any pilot agreements. Of course, if conditions change, part Parony could adjust this policy in the future. The um moratorium on pilots will save Paripony hundreds of millions of dollars
in future lost conventional tax revenues. It will also eliminate the nonmonetary pilot shenanigans that you've had to deal with because all the developers are going to be treated the same and they would know upfront there's not going to be any
pilots. For example, the township could not be coerced again into offering a pilot to save its state approved affordable housing plan. You also wouldn't be put into the awkward position of having,
excuse me, of having to ignore a clause in the agreement in order to get a pilot pass. The threat of lawsuits from developers commanding the same treatment as the land lined pilots would also be
eliminated. As an extra added benefit, a pilot moratorum would also end the battle between the board of ed and the administration over how much money should be allocated to the schools from a pilot. I'd like to remind the governing body and the public that there
is no legal obligation to grant a pilot. Furthermore, there's precedent in Paripities passed for the issuance of a pilot moratorum. Shortly after the 1515 route 10 pilot was approved,
Mayor Soriano announced during his administration that residential he didn't he didn't he didn't say uh commercial, he just said residential pilots would no longer uh be granted. Lastly, a pilot moratorum would fulfill
one of the mayor's major campaign promises. During the mayor may mayoral debate, candidate Desai went on record as saying that because of Paripin's strategic location, there is no need for pilots in a township. And he was right.
For all of the above reasons, I ask mayor decide to issue a moratorum on all pilots now before Parsipany has to deal with the next wave of pilot applications. Mayor, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this proposal. Thank you.
>> Thank you, Bob. >> Or anybody's >> anybody. >> I'm glad you came up. So, I wasn't here last time when you you asked the question and I had an opportunity to sit down with the mayor, the clerk, and the our lawyer today to talk about your question on whether or not section 15
was included in the agreement. And I clearly saw it was included. Um, but the lawyer taught me that what's included is not actually included in the agreement. So, maybe if you could, Mr. Demarco, can you explain how that agreement works for the town so that we know in the future how when someone puts in a submission
what's included or not included in the actual agreement? >> Sure. I mean I spoke on this last meeting with you Bob. Uh we had that conversation about how the actual four corners of the agreement didn't have that certification wasn't carried
forward from the application. Right. That's the I think councilman is speaking about the warehouse under construction. Um I know that's not what you were here for tonight. What you were talking about tonight is whether or not going forward. I I don't disagree with you. I fully anticipate that developers
will continue to show up and continue to submit applications seeking pilots. What this council does with that, we will know when when those applications come in. I do understand your request. I will, you know, speak with the mayor about if he's interested in doing that
on how that could happen, the moratorum. Um, I understand your concern. I appreciate it. I think members of the council appreciate it. But you are not wrong and nor would I would would ever suggest that you were that additional
request will be made of this board of this town for uh pilots by developers that they will do it. They do it in every town, right? But it's not unique to Barcipity unfortunately. >> Uh I'll address your question. One of the things I learned recently is
the past administration or the past council was not included on a lot of things. You know what I want to do is uh this administration is going to be one about collaboration. If I get an application whether it's a pilot or not, they will be they will know about it not
at the last minute but as soon as I get it right away. So this way not only I have a chance to read it, I want their input on how you want to proceed with this particular application. So that's what I can offer. Uh am I going to say no? You know what? I think it benefits
for me to look at every single application that comes in on it merits. I could always go back and say nope, we're not going to give you a pilot and if there is going to be a pilot, I need to know what the terms are and I need to get that input from the council as well.
You know, as far as a moratorium is concerned, I'll talk to my counselor to see how that actually is executed. >> I think it can save you a lot of headaches if you do it and and save and save me or or simply a lot of money. I
bet you one thing I have always you >> one thing I've always done is anybody that walks into my office grabs me on the street. I take their questions down and I always get back to them. So I'll get back to you. Uh, Nick, Lake Kaiwaka. Uh, in all due
respects and especially for the warehouse pilot, how do you negotiate a deal outside the perimeter of the the perimeter of the law itself? The law itself is clear. Payment in lie
of taxes agreement must be generally negotiated, approved and executed by the municipality before construction begins. Agreements are typically approved during the redevelopment planning phase which
occurs before the site plan approval and the in issuance of construction permits. the wareh I was at the meeting with the warehouse. This guy had all kinds of hardships. No mention of mayor, mayor
barbario, English, no pilots. And during that time period up to the lame duck council in in the last administration, it was I know of no pilots and plunk
your magic plunker progy. We got the pilot. There's something wrong with that. >> And I can't believe that more people on the council didn't side with Councilman McGrath that especially for the warehouse
and it the it was this warehouse was actually promoted by our board of education to avoid public housing in the area. It doesn't m you're not going to avoid the public housing. The people in the
area were at that meeting and they were at an additional meeting. Paul Cree, you remember the people from from that meeting? They said they'd rather have affordable housing and it goes with the
zoning of that area. So, this is some kind of uh you know, Jack in the Box that Mr. in Gino was cranking up the whole time because he had to know there was a pilot and you don't
if you have a hardship you're usually denied and this like I said this developer had a lot of things a lot of things he had to do and it was like oh this guy must have a lot of money but you know but uh technical hardships
financial hardships are not in in included and this particular pilot was is a dep detriment to the community because of the close proximity to the school, the
East Lake Elementary School and the Livingston benefit matter. That's how much this town thinks of their historic property where the first governor of New Jersey lived that that's going to shadow
that landscape that what remains of that landscape and the school. I mean, you got to look into that that something is wrong here and as responsible representatives of the public, you
should try to see whether something legally can be looked looked into real estate particularly in New Jersey complex and highly depend on a specific redevelopment agreement and cons uh
consult with New Jersey land use attorney for the specific project guidance. Did anybody do that for that warehouse? Did anybody seek guidance for that warehouse? And the warehouse, this is the real
kicker. It's outside the guidelines for warehouse locations. And the board of education, in my opinion, should be ashamed of themselves for promoting this. And you're not going to avoid the public
housing and you're not going to avoid, you know, one and uh one in one uh you know, you're not going to avoid that people multiplying and have children and if they want to live in a participant, they're going to go to school. It's not the end of the world. >> You have 30 seconds. >> All right, but
somebody please look into what happened, especially for that pilot warehouse. I'm telling you, there's some funny business there. And if the attorney general took a real look at it, like I said, go back and look at what happened during that
meeting and then the lame duck something something's wrong there. And if we continue to let developers get away with stuff like this in part, that's exactly what they're going to do. And Mr. Ringo has done plenty and made plenty of money
off this town and for his developer buddies. and he's the man involved with this warehouse pilot. >> Thank you, Nick. >> Thank you, Nick. >> And we we plan on not having more of that going forward. >> Plan on what?
>> Not having that kind of development going on for going forward. It happened. >> Should >> I know that? >> Jack Reya. Um, regarding any if you do have any
future pilots, you may want to include I would strongly suggest you include the board of education in any negotiations going forward because you'll avoid years of headaches dealing and there is an ad hoc committee. So, there's three people
you can deal with on that topic. Um, another topic that resurrected itself at last week's board of education meeting, uh, in 2024, in an effort to to buy time to avoid making a deal with the board of
education, the administration made vague and false accusations against the board of education, saying that the numbers were all over the place. This was not the case at all. The audit of the school district is completed on time every year with the administration awarded a
certificate of excellence. This has happened eight years in a row. This year, less than 10% of school districts in New Jersey received this commendation. The charge from the town was so vague that no no one knew what the mayor was referring to. After a couple of months, it came to light the
town was talking about anticipated enrollment that was based on two different demographic studies. To say it is highly irregular to audit a demographic study of future enrollment is a vast understatement. At that time, the town council voted to spend up to
17,500 on an auditor to audit the board of education. Highly irregular. For many months after, one council member inquired repeatedly about the status of the so-called audit, which was then verbally downgraded to a re to a review.
repeatedly. The answer from the town business administrator was that the report was in process. However, we know that no review of any numbers of the board of education except any publicly available information ever took place. On numerous occasions, I asked Robin
Tedesco, the business administrator of the school district at the time, on numerous occasions if the town had made any inquiries regarding the the uh the uh projected enrollments. There were none. No engagement letter was ever sent
by the town to the board of education. Even though it was not an audit, an engagement letter would be essential because of its unorthodox scope. That letter would also detail the work that was to be done and the nature of the report to be issued. This topic might
seem like water under the bridge except for one thing. The town council approved a dispersement of up to 17,500 to an accounting firm in Loi Di Maria and Di Maria. Was a payment made to that firm for any amount or for any amount at all
its revisiting? Thank you. >> I'd like to uh I'd like to address one part of his question. When I said collaboration, I also meant with any future agreements, any application that lands on my desk, the BOE will have a seat at the table.
Okay? It's something I told Dr. Chase and Allison Kogan in I think November or December and it still stands. They will have a seat at the table when this comes whether it impacts them or not. So, at least they know. All right. Thank you. >> Okay.
Good evening, all uh I'd like to revisit something that happened the last two council meetings. During recent council meetings, Councilman >> Karafi >> Cari, you stated that you were against the
motion to forbid ICE agents from Parcipony. Recent nationwide polls show nearly twothirds of the people said they were against having ICE agents in their town. You also stated that you were against not allowing an ICE detention
center to be placed in our town. Do we need to place additional burden on our police and other municipal services to allow a detention center to be located here? Another consideration that such a facility would have on the
property values of the surrounding area and as and on the township as a whole. In real estate, the term the principle of regression states that surrounding home values are negatively impacted by
lower-end properties. Does anyone doubt that a detention center would be considered a lowerend property? If so, please rate raise your hand. The prior administration with the approval
and that of with with your approval and that of other present and former council members approved many wrongheaded pilot programs. Our taxes will continue to be high in part because of these pilot giveaways that will haunt us for decades
to come. Do we really need reduced property values to compound the damage of the former mayor's pilot programs? Roxberry's all Republican Town Council unanimously voted no to site a ICE
detention center in their township. ICE agents have already fired their weapons in Roxbury and in the short time they have in the short time they have been there ICE agents believe that they are above the law and answer to no one. We should not be welcoming them into
Paripany. You also made it sound as if all undocumented people are to quote the president very bad dudes. The vast majority of these people are not living the high life, but rather are performing tasks that many many
Americans choose not to perform. I am in full support of arresting the worst of the worst. I truly am. But when did children waiting at school bus stops and pregnant women fall into the category of worst of the worst? I agree. President
Biden's immigration policy was deeply flawed. Flawed. However, let's not forget that a new immigration plan was put forth by a committee of both Republicans and Democrats. Mr. Trump, who was not in office at the
time, browbe the MAGA crowd to vote the plan down so he could use immigration as a campaign issue. I look forward to the day when government agents go after the pedophiles in the Epstein case as vigorously as they do when they murdered
two US citizens in Minnesota. You, Councilman, as a range master, know that knowing when to fire your weapon is just as important as knowing how to fire your weapon. Do you think the use of deadly
force was called for in those two Minnesota killings? You also cherrypicked two incidents where undocumented workers were guilty of performing crimes and they should be punished. Now, let's fast forward to last week when one of the
insurrectionists that President Trump pardoned is now being charged with molesting young boys in Florida. So you see there are good and bad people no matter where they come from. On a personal note,
I found your tone of voice when you were shouting at the lady neck next to me at the last council meeting to be uncalled for. I think the lady in question deserves an apology. Thank you for your time and if there are any updates to the questions that I had
for the that I had from the last council meeting. I would like to hear whatever information you have. God bless America. God bless us all cuz right now this country is in trouble, folks. >> Uh Mr. Suarez, uh after the meeting, if you want to see me about your questions
from the last council meeting, I have answers for you. >> Thank you so much. >> You're very welcome. >> I'd like to respond. Uh, first off, we're not going to go back and forth. So, >> no, I I'm I'm aware. I just want to >> I'm going to You said you brought up my title at work. Yes. Okay. And uh
>> are you aware that the weapon that Mr. Petti had on him with the fully loaded magazines, he had more rounds of ammunition than the average police officer carries on him while on duty in
uniform. and he went to an area where ICE was performing their job carrying this gun with that amount of ammunition as a private citizen. Not normal. Not normal at all. Okay. Not normal at all.
Do you think it was right for that woman to drive her vehicle into that person? >> Well, these these these are I just have a So, Mr. Schwarz, I apologize. We can't have >> We're not going to go back. So, here's the thing. And I I made him >> Now, now hold up real quick. If you do want to respond later, you can wait
until after the meeting and speak to him, but I can't have a back and forth here, Mr. Forest. >> And I I brought up in my No, no problem. >> I brought up in my statement last last week or at our last meeting that >> I didn't say I said the people that do it the right way, I I'm all for that.
All for that. But for me to vote for something that supports criminals, protecting criminals, it's ne my opinion, I'm never going to do it. I'm not going to support something that supports criminals. You're a criminal
and you perform criminal activity, illegal activity here in the United States, you you should go. You need to go. Okay. You're talking about the You're talking about a boy that was taken. I believe that was Are you referring to the individual that ICE was
arresting and he ran off and left his 5-year-old boy >> there where I Okay. Well, I don't Well, how do you know? >> Okay. I'm I'm just talking about Okay. >> Am I for ICE locking up criminals and deporting them that are here illegally and committing
crimes here, raping women, killing women. Lake and Riley would be alive today. You can you're going to look up. Yeah. What are you you looking up for her? You're looking up rolling your eyes at me. That woman, that young lady would be here today if it wasn't for that individual that should have been
deported. Just my opinion. Okay. Again, that individual brought a gun to that situation with more ammunition than the average police officer. That type of weapon that he had carries 21 round magazines. That's more than most law
enforcement officers carry while on duty. And that's what he had. a fully loaded gun with two spare magazines, over 60 rounds of ammunition on him, not normal. >> And then he was shot in the back. >> I don't know. I don't know the
circumstances. I didn't see I didn't see the close-up videos. Okay. Whatever. Okay. Whatever. >> All right. All right, guys. We can't We can't shop from the audience. I apologize. If If anybody wants to speak after, we can. >> Yeah, I know. But we can't. I know. I can't We can't Hold on. Hold on. Hold
on. We cannot we cannot go back and forth. I apologize. I know I understand the frustration. Everybody gets heated here, guys, but we all have to respect >> one other thing. And as as far as an apology, I did speak to to Mrs. Salano after we had a a very what I would
consider a good conversation after the meeting was over. So, just so you know. >> Okay. Anyone else like to speak? Go ahead, Mr. Barios. Tim Buriel's 24th Farm Formster Drive. Uh, let me start by my favorite. Good
evening. I am a member of the board of education. However, my views expressed tonight are my own and do not reflect official positions of the board of education or the school district. However, to my good friend, Mr. Homiac
and to anybody else here at the council or the mayor. I wanted to say officially that uh no matter what was discussed with the former board of ed president as a sidebar on the warehouse that's sitting
above East Lake Elementary School. Um, the board of education, which I was a member of and still am, never took an official vote. We never agreed to it. As a matter of fact, we found out about it
as an OG's. By the way, we had a conversation about this. Um, to be honest, how anybody would think that members of the board of education would approve a 21 bay wareh uh warehouse docking area above
the elementary school where we have five, six grades of children going into. I think it's crazy. So, I want to set that aside right away. So, that's a fact. We never ever approve that.
Um, I want to kind of tag on to what Mr. Reya had said. You know, August of 2024, couple of members sitting on this uh, council and somebody in the audience all sat here and talked about how the board
of education was not responsible and we could not be good business partners with the current uh, administration at the time because of the pilots. Um, $17,500
was put up. I'm a taxpayer. I want to know where the hell that money went. Who had it? Who spent it? I heard a lot of people here saying this. I can't make heads or tails of this school budget. I've been up online looking all day
long. I couldn't figure out anything. Never asked anybody at the board of ed. I know we had some cyborg conversations, but it was funny. our business administrator. As a matter of fact, I want to make sure that this council understands that our business administration, a woman who served this
community for so many years, was was put down by a member of this council in a public session. I was stunned. So, with that having been said, based on the article that came out this past week
about the severance package and the curiosity about that, I have a lot more curiosities. Where did that $17,500 go to? You know, I know it falls under the play to pay, but I would imagine that if that money was spent that that
check was cut. Somebody's got to know where that money went to. You know, Di Maria and Di Maria, this council voted on, okay, not this council, my apologies, the prior council voted on them as the auditor. And there was a lot
of speculation as to their motives in all this. But again, as a taxpayer, and since now all the receipts are becoming uh available, I would like to know $17,500.
Where is the cancel check? Who got it? and who spent it. And I'll be honest with you, there are a couple of people in this town that owe some people apologies. We sat here as a board of ed and we we go through that budget. We are
right now going through a budget process that make your teeth throttle. A lot of it because of these pilots who stood up here for 3 years screaming about these problems and who was told to shut up and sit down.
So, all I can say is this is that for our business administrator at the time to be called out in public, for our board of education members, I believe, and I could be wrong, three are CPAs who go through this budget and go
through every nickel, dime, penny to make sure that we >> You have 30 seconds. >> I'm sorry. >> We have been given for eight years in a row an award by the state of New Jersey. We're independently audited. If I remember the last time I looked, and I
could be wrong, so if I am, forgive me. I don't believe that the town council's uh audit came up as good as our audits over seven years. So, I'm calling people out. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Anyone else would like to speak? You're fine, Mr. Pazena. >> Okay. So, I get my speech done early. >> All right. >> Pass this down. >> This is the backup to the speech. If you want to turn a copy of this up Thursday or by Thursday.
>> Okay. >> Uh, can I do Do you need this back? >> I don't need that back. if you want. I like I like >> Okay. I I can I can just pass this down, have them look at it, and then just give it right back to you. >> Fine. >> Is that okay? Okay. >> Uh >> we had uh disagreement. Uh we had uh
moment of silence for two protesters. >> Yeah. >> Uh >> we did >> last meeting. Uh how about we have some uh five minute moments of silence for 25 people that were killed in the state of New Jersey by undocumented. Well, we could also have a moment of silence
about 39 people that were killed in detention. I mean, there were two people >> that were killed we saw that were white, but there were in your in your stats. >> Are is the computer separated report? >> There's just let's not do this. >> Can we not just do a back and forth, please? Uh Judy, let him speak and then
you can after that. Yes. Go ahead, Mr. Presenter. You have your five minutes. >> Your computer reports an independent study of undocumented crime versus uh regular crime against citizens. So that'll stop that. Uh please apologize the capitalization. I'm a poor
typist and I have corrected two spelling mistakes. Question the attorney. Uh office hours. Are they allowed to be conducted in the in the town council? Uh because previous member was denied that he had to have his uh office hour meetings at Dunkin Donuts.
Uh PA repairs. Six months ago, I submitted uh very dangerous issues at the PA back of the PAL. Nick Renzino and I turned around and uh roped off everything and uh $150,000 was supposed
to be for repairs of the back of PO. Nothing's been done in 6 months. Nothing's touched. Same same way I left it. I'll get pictures of that. Uh cannabis, you answered that people grandfathered rumors. who handled the
notification to the two gentlemen because apparently they didn't get it. Now, a public apology would be issued to the two gentlemen, especially if they didn't get it >> for what? >> For the young ladies.
>> Oh, I did. I did apologize to them. It was me. They had a a card. >> There was a postcard >> and I didn't >> Okay. So, now it's okay. stops whether it's a regular thing or a screw up. >> Uh BP council, I understand that we come
from big families, but uh we obeying the stocking laws, the uh pass through opers, which Colette knows about. >> Uh >> I'm sorry, could you just speak into the microphone a little more? >> Uh also, uh in the documentation, uh
affordable housing is being questioned by the US Supreme Court. Justice Alto wants to know how, where, and why. How did New Jersey exempt 63 towns and cities from the Affordable Housing Care Act?
>> So, Parcipony is part of that case before the Supreme Court. >> No, I just But there's the back of the >> I just wanted to make sure for anyone else listening that Paripony is part of that application >> and our uh green team, we actually are
importing 47.6% 6% of our power. We have to look at our additional uh power resources within the state and our governor's statutory uh assessment is going to fall apart quickly.
So we pulled out of the consortium reenact. Now the consortium was the lowest power bidder at that time gave power to the state of New Jersey. If we keep importing more power and not bring power back to where it is. Now, Freemile
Island has two reactors. One's actually operating now with low frequency. The other one can be rebuilt. The third one cannot be built due to the uh contamination. As far as our green team know has to do maybe we can turn around and start setting up power stations. Uh
Westinghouse, Amero, a few others have 40 foot trailers that are lowgrade nuclear reactors can approximately put out 16,000 homes. >> Thank you. >> As far as hours goes, Mr. Fano, office hours weren't allowed last
administration because the mayor did not want them to be here. >> I know the confidence. So we're we everybody can do them if they want to. >> But there's no there's no uh three people rule for consortium.
>> We're not doing that. We're doing them individually. >> I know. But that's you need you need a quarum to turn on happy office hours. >> No. >> No. >> Why would I? Yeah. No, >> it's individual. >> It's individual office hours. >> That's It says public meeting. So
>> Well, if it's an individual meeting, it's not a public meeting. A public meeting is when there is a court >> for one person that want to takes the >> oneonone. Yep. >> Oneonone. >> Yep. So any council member can establish office hours and the town clerk or the town administrator would accommodate
their request and provide them adequate space. >> Um yeah, I mean it's it's a new day. >> It's it's a >> it's February 2026, sir. I mean if the hours don't accommodate someone they can do it at a coffee place,
>> right? Absolutely true. >> Is there anyone anyone else that would like >> to say something? I'm sorry. I I understand. I've heard people say that, you know, the office hours should be after 5:00 p.m. However, town hall is not open after 5. Hence why I have had the office hours between 1 and 3 p.m. I'm not trying to make it unaccommodable
for folks. If you would like to reach out, please do. I will set up a meeting with you. turn around and get to the people that rise to these questions. >> That's fine. I'm available to talk to anyone who wants to speak with me. I only reason it's before 5:00 p.m. is because town hall is locked after 5. We
can't let public in. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Anyone else uh would like to uh speak in the public session? Eric Dunmore from Lake Kayawa. Um, I've been listening uh from the last two meetings to everyone here talking
about the ICE and the illegal immigration issue and it is a very difficult issue that I think is tearing this country apart. It is a 50/50 issue. I think for
as many arguments you can make one way, you can equally make a number of arguments the other. And I feel both political parties are guilty of not handling this situation correctly.
There is a middle ground. No one wants to go there because it is not politically feasible. However, there is a middle ground that I feel doesn't involve killing people, but on
the flip side doesn't involve interfering with law enforcement. But I feel for the town council to try to tackle this issue, it's a no-b situation for you guys. That's all. Thank you.
>> Thanks, Eric. >> Okay, seeing no one else, I'd like to entertain a motion to close the public session. >> Motion. >> Second. >> Motion made by Miss Patel, seconded by Mr. Karifi. Roll call. Mr. Kuripi. Yes.
>> Mr. Kavanaaugh. Mr. McGrath. Yes. >> Miss Pat Mattel. >> Yes. >> And Mr. Hernandez. >> Yes. >> Okay. Moving along to consent agenda. Be resolved. All items listed with an asterct are considered routine and uncontroversial by town council will be approved by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a council member so requests in which case standing will be removed from
the consent agenda and considered in it normal sequence on the agenda. May I please have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Motion. >> Second. >> Motion made by Mr. Karifi. Seconded by Miss Patel. Roll call. Mr. Karifi. Mr. Kavanaaugh. Mr. >> McGrath. Miss Patel. Yes.

administrator. We made a laundry list of thing that needs to be done. Uh we're going to put a plan together to address the issues at the library. Same thing at the senior center. Uh went there, saw close to about 100 people. Again, we took a laundry list of all the things that needs to be fixed uh addressed. Uh
get back to them with answers. Uh they are in progress. Uh Friday night went to Liquid Church uh for the night to shine event. Uh I'd like to thank the Pipany Police Department, New Jersey State Troopers and about 700 volunteers that made this
event one of the most spectacular events I have ever been to. Uh just as a side note, all the law enforcement officers that volunteered, they all volunteered uh without pay. So thank you gentlemen. uh went to Mount Taber at the Traps
marketplace where I got the opportunity to see young entrepreneurs uh make things and sell things. I certainly bought a lot of things. Uh note whenever you go to a kitty event, ple or children's event, please take cash with you. They will not take Venmo unless
their parents are next to them. I went to the art show at the uh our main library on Hoy Road and actually pretty good art show to see what the high school kids are capable of in this world of uh STEM with science,
technology, education, and math. Uh arts is a big part of it. Uh we're going to certainly reach out to them and have some of this artwork showcased in the town hall and in the empty mayor's office where the walls are kind of bare. So, we're going to instead of buying things, we're going to use local artists
to do things. Uh, I'm already meeting with all the business uh with the business administrator, all the department heads about the budget. Uh, that started uh actually a few weeks ago, but more importantly, this week is the all the ask and everything that we
need to get done. Uh, more updates on this will be coming in future meetings. Uh, Denise Roco, our crossing guard sees in stable conditions. Uh we wish her well. Uh looks like her situation is improving but she needs all the getwell
wishes and prayers as you can send her away. Uh and one last thing is uh this council has always been has always shown willingness to talk to the people after their meetings. Uh so please uh respect
that. I like to continue to see that happen. And this end of my report. >> Thank you mayor. Uh, moving along to the township council. Anything from township council? >> Yes, I have a I have a report. Do you always have a report? All right. This is from the economic development advisory

year. Um, and celebration with other towns. Um, it's a very big historical area as you know, Beverick Road and the Revolutionary War came through here with George Washington and there'll be a lot of different events. So stay tuned and
we'll try to get it all out there and then we're going to have >> not to you but you can explain it, you know, separate from the very the historical stuff of the Revolutionary War, but >> yes. So, on tonight's agenda, there is a
resolution um implementing an ad hoc committee called the America 250 committee. Essentially, we will be planning out the week-long celebration leading up to the 4th of July. So, PCIP is known for its massive celebration. I have friends that come in from all over Morris County to come watch our
fireworks. This year, we're going to go big, really big. So, so it's like the celebration of all the historical stuff from the past and then the just regular day of. I mean there's just a lot of national things that are going on at the same time. We might do some of those in
Pacific too. So stay tuned. That's all I have though. >> Thank you, Township Council. Uh moving along to the township attorney, Mr. DeMarco. >> Uh yes. So there are I apologize some late additions to the agenda today. There are eight ordinances for
introduction. Those are ordinances that reflect zoning changes to comply with the fourth round affordable housing. They're on for introduction tonight. They get referred to the planning board for a planning board hearing. So for those people who care, uh there will be
an opportunity to uh for those to be fully discussed uh at the planning board. They will then come back to this board and they are scheduled to be heard on March 3rd. Again, those are the zonin ordinances that are as a result of the
properties that were selected back in August um by the town as to sites where affordable housing would be developed. Um so those are what those are. Uh, I just wanted to make sure everyone understood what they were. Um, because
really there's no opportunity to ask any questions tonight on those, but I thought it was important that there was at least some explanation as to what they are. And again, they do go to the planning board and then they come back here. So, there's two opportunities uh for the public to ask questions or to
hear about them in greater detail. >> Thank you, Mr. Blancco. Moving along to the business administrator, Mr. Seaman. Thank you. Uh just wanted to say still continuing to get to know everybody, getting to learn your town. I've been living in the budget for the last uh week or so, so I'm looking forward to

>> Motion made by Mr. Hernandez, seconded by Miss Patel. >> Roll call. Mr. Karifi. >> Yes. >> Mr. Kavanagh. >> Yes. >> Mr. McGrath. >> Mr. DeMarco. Quick question. You had told me that if we don't approve these, we lose our builder's remedy like what
was stated to us on the 1st of January. Is that correct? >> I wasn't here on the 1st of January. Speaking to the Sure. So, so my question is, we were told that we had to approve something during the last session that
it was due on 1231. If we don't approve it, we're going to lose our builder's remedy. Is that the same for this? We lose our builder's remedy again. If we don't approve it, cuz my concern is every single one of these popped on late. Every single one of these will be a pilot request.
>> This is the zoning. >> No, I Judy, again, we we were we've been through this before. These are going to be pilot requests without a doubt. >> So, I just want to make sure. No, no, I understand what you're saying. >> We've been tricked before. You voted forward two pilots.
>> So, this is a trick. This is >> Oh, I know what it is. >> Question. I'm sorry. >> Why are we doing this now? Why was this added at We never received this via email, just here tonight. >> Correct. Yes. >> Yeah. >> So, why? >> Uh there's a couple reasons. one um the
statute requires or the state requires that these be fully adopted by March 15th. >> Right. >> Um Paripany as I indicated before parttook and is part of a lawsuit challenging it seeking injunctive relief. So the advice given to us
through that council was um we are arguing and we argued in the federal court at the federal level we argued at the appellet level and as the one uh gentleman from the ordinance said it is now in front of justice Alo. Uh the main
argument is that uh if we pass these um there would be harm right because then the zoning is done the cat is out the bag. the the horses left the barn, whatever phrasiology you want to use. So the the advice that was given to the township was do this at the last
possible moment, which is, you know, as close to m March 15th as possible. That's one. Two, unfortunately, we are like 50 60 other towns that this is all being done in the month of February to hit that deadline. So the uh planner and
people charged with drafting these were just very delayed. Um the clerk and myself had been pushing them for the past 2 or 3 weeks to get these as soon as possible. I apologize that you know they came in late today. Um there are two opportunities. That's why I made my
report so people understood that they could go to the planning board um um and they could uh come back on March 3rd when these are actually scheduled for a second hearing. With regards to your other question with related to builder's remedies, I understand through my
conversation with you that this board, a prior board was told that with regards to the Lannidex properties that they had to be adopted by January 1st. I disagree with that opinion. Uh the date is and has been by the state is March 15th.
There was never a December 31st date. There wasn't a January 1st date. It was always a March 15th date. So, I don't know why that representation was made. I didn't make that representation. I wasn't here. I will just tell you what the state statute requires. >> Understood. Thank you, sir. >> Not a problem, sir.
