>> I'm banging out some push-ups before you got up there. >> All right. Bad parip. [clears throat] For the past four years, Councilman Mucella has voted against every pilot that has come up before the council. So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw
the councilman interviewing John Inglino in a recent podcast on the topic of pilots. For those who may not know, Mr. Inglino is the foremost pilot attorney for developers and proponent of pilots in
Mars County. The podcast was sponsored by Mr. Inglino's law firm, and he was the only guest. So, it should come as no surprise that the program was heavily biased in favor of pilots. Mr. Inglino's presentation was
professional, factual, and informative, but it was also incomplete. Listed below are some of the features of pilots that were never mentioned. The numbers referenced below originate from the official financial sheets filed by Avalon Bay as part of the pilot
agreement for the two two and three campus drive. At at several points in the podcast, Mr. Englandino referred to pilots as useful economic tools for town and school, but he never once mentioned how much that
tool might cost. In the case of Avalon Bay, the so-called tool cost more in tax breaks, 57 million over 30 years, than the 53 million that the that the town receives in pilot payments. That deal
looks even worse when you consider that Paripony would have received almost half the pilot amount from existing land taxes if there were no development at all. Next, Mr. Inglesino's statement that the school district received all of the
budget money that it's entitled to. That's entirely true. Whether a new development such as Avalon is granted a pilot or not does not change the amount that's owed to the board education, but residential pilots do bring in
additional students and somebody has to pay for them. If the board cannot accommodate the influ the influx of new students within their 2% cap, then their only option is to initiate a ballot referendum. If the referendum is passed, the school gets the additional funding
that it needs from regular taxpayers with not an additional scent coming from the developers who receive the pilots. When speaking about pilots, Mr. Incino made no distinction between industrial and residential pilots. The audience was
not told that in a residential pilot, Paripony will most likely have to pay out more money to provide municipal and educational services than it will receive in pilot payments. For example, according to the Avalon financial sheet,
Paripony will will receive a million dollar pilot payment in year one. But if Avalon Bay sends more than 12 students to our schools, Paripony will experience a negative pilot payment. We will have to spend more than a million pilot
payment to provide municipal and educational services. The regular taxpayer is solely responsible for the deficit that excessive students may cause. And at $26,000 per student, that deficit can increase very quickly.
rather than operating at a deficit under a residential pilot or certainly would be better off financially if the property were left vacant. Lastly, Mr. Englesino acknowledged that pilot properties are not included in the regular tax base, but he did not
elaborate on how that affects the regular taxpayer. Many residents often wonder why their annual tax increase is 2 and 12 to 3 12% when there's supposed to be a 2% cap. The main reason is that certain expenses
are excluded from the cap calculations and then added on later. Interest, healthc care, and school referendums are three of the major add-ons. It should be noted that while these add-ons increase your annual tax bill,
they do not increase pilot payments. Over 30 years, the free ride that the pilots get from not having to pay these costs is substantial. The podcast contained a lot of good information about pilots, but overall it was very one-sided in favor of them
because of the details that were omitted. When you consider both the pros and the cons, residential pilots should never be granted because of the educational costs involved. As for industrial pilots, Mr. Englesino stated
in the podcast that the industrial construction market in in Mars County is redot. 30 seconds >> and is expected to stay that way for some time. Why would Pipony voluntarily forego tens of millions of dollars in
tax money in a red-hot market? Thank you. >> Well, if it's all right, I'd like to just elaborate. Well, first I'm glad you watch my podcast. you know, maybe one of 12 people, but [laughter]
um you know, it was started it was started with uh you know, the idea is to promote dialogue and debate. You know, Matt and I are obviously conservative and have uh debate on the issues with people who disagree with us on opposite
uh points of view. So, uh I asked Mr. during Lucino to come on to talk about a hot button issue that isn't just important in Paripany but is also pilots are debated all throughout the state. So I think a lot of what you said was
right. I think his points in support of pilots are are also correct but we didn't have the time to go point by point. We just had an unstructured discussion on the issue. Um, so you know, I appreciate you watching and
every Wednesday at uh 6:30 we'll have guests on [laughter] at uh you can watch from our page. >> It's a great plug. I like that. >> And and I like to respond cuz Mr. Benezer, you come up with the same um concept every meeting. But what you do
not include in there is the amount of revenues that we lose per year because of tax appeals. You don't talk about that afraids go up or go down. They don't affect the schools. Radables don't affect the schools. And you and you know that. You know that. So, if we let these
um buildings lie dormant, what happens? You get tax appeals. So, when we get a tax appeal in the township, who pays the 63% that we already paid? >> Tax appeals happen all the time. >> Well, but yeah, but why are they
happening? Because the market is down. The housing market's down. And what are we forced with? We're forth with the affordable housing. You said that pilots bring school age children in. No, pilots don't bring school age children. What brings school age children is the housing, the affordable housing that
fair share forces us to be part of. And they say is volunteer, but I don't want to volunteer no more. Uh but that's what brings school age children in. It's the affordable housing units. Okay. But that being said, they're not affected by increase in ratables. They're not
affected by decrease in ratables. We are the township is affected when we lose ratables. We're affected when we lose companies. You sit and say it's a booming market. Then why do we have 21 vacant office buildings in the township? It's not so booming. >> Trying to get their rehabilitation.
>> But and and then when you say that the town and you say no, I I let you speak. Now let me speak. When you say when you say that, oh, we're we're losing millions of dollars. We are because they're doing tax appeals. because they're going to lie dormant. Yes, they
are. We had $2 million of two years ago in tax appeals. Okay. 2 million times the rate 3.65 whatever the rate is. That's how much revenue we lose. >> Are ours up the last four years? >> Four years. Yeah. They up.
I think should come on my show. >> Why did they go up? I'll tell you why they go up. They're going to go up more because of the housing that was being built. You still get a ratable from the housing. Okay. But you come up here and you say that we're losing millions of dollars. Yeah, we are. Not from the
pilots. We're losing them because the market is what the market is. And as you know, it's standard mood standard and poor. I think that's what it was. Said you the housing market, I mean the commercial market is not coming back to 2035 if it ever ever comes back. 20. I can't wait to 2035. That's a long time
to be waiting. So you come up here and you say, "Let's do no pilots." Okay. And say we say that, say we do no pilots, you got tax appeals, you got vacant uh office spaces, you have no productivity going on in the township. So who pays
the difference? The taxpayers has to make up for those losses. That's who makes up for the losses. Now you got revenue coming in. What you failed to say tonight on the revenues coming in, we get 95% of the revenues. So when a township say for instance um you take
the alv take the alvalorum way that you say we actually get more money. >> You get it >> right. But the school What did I just say? The schools get their money no matter what. >> You're only 20. >> The schools get their money no matter what. If there's pilot or no pilot it
doesn't change. You even admitted it. >> But then you come up here and you tell the story the fact that oh we shouldn't do residential pass. Okay maybe maybe the council doesn't want to do that. You know what's going to happen? You're going to have more tax appeals more and more. And then what's going to happen? Your ratables are going to crash. Okay?
We tried to maintain that ratable because even if you do a pilot with a piece of property, it brings the value of all other properties around it up. But if you let them lie dormant, so that's what's going to basically happen. If that's what you want, I don't. That's what you want, then that's what you're
going to get. When your taxes go up, I I'll thank you. >> Thank you. Yeah, [clears throat] >> cuz they haven't gone up in the last four years. >> All right, we got to >> Well, that's good. They haven't gone up in the last four years. So, I guess I did a good job. Thank you. [laughter] >> That's why we don't need pilots. >> Well, I think the the the one thing um
when it comes to to pilots, and this is a a valid point in in argue in favor of them is helping a town navigate its challenge through affordable housing. Because if a town is forced to deal with
its number regardless, in my view, I think it's better to have some tool that can help us centralize all of the units instead of being subject to the urban sprawl, which is what many municipalities are due to the the Mount
Laurel doctrine. So, I understand where their uses might be and and I think that was one of the learnings from from the podcast. >> And I think right and I think you're right. Well, I think what the legislators had in mind when these um pilots were created was to spark the
economy in your township. That was number one. Uh because when when you lose ratables and the value of your properties go down, the taxpayers make up the difference. So, they they create Listen, we didn't create it. We didn't say the schools couldn't get any money.
The legislators did that up in Trenton. They they said, you know, the townships need help. Why? We have capital improvements. We have to police our town. We have sewer, water. We have all these departments that run the township. So, when you continue to lose ratables,
what happens? You still have to pay these individuals. You still have to run the town. But what happen? At what cost? Well, the cost is going to go up for the taxpayer. Well, the pilots come in. the revenues that come in from the pilots, we can use for capital improvements, we can use for our road, like I said, our roadways, we can use for our police
department, we can use for, you know, and and don't don't get me wrong, I get everyone's a little upset about this, but you got to be factual about it. You come up and say the same thing all the time. And and you don't you don't ever say the part where uh the rads go up and down. It doesn't affect the schools. Um,
nobody cares about the schools more than me because I I'm involved in the school, not the school board itself, in the schools itself. I will be meeting with the school board. I will try to get a negotiation, but it has to be fair for both sides. It has to work for both sides. And that's that's what you do
when you negotiate. Okay. But to sit here and say that, okay, we don't have to do any pilots. And and I understand what you're saying. We don't have to do any. But when we continue to we just lost Tiffany's and Tiffany's a big company. We lost Tiffany's to they they left they moved out of Par symphony and
more are coming. If you go by Waterview look at all the vacant buildings in Waterview. What do you think is going to happen to those vacant spaces? Well, when round five comes, those are going to be um what do you call it? Those are going to be multif family housing when
round five comes. Listen, I don't want to blame a party, but I guess I have to. The Democrats in Trenton in 2024 sped up the affordable housing. They slammed it on our faces on our laps so we would build more housing
that really in Paripony aren't for our Paripony residents. It's not for our Pipony residents. Now, if you want us to build affordable housing, okay, and it's for Pipony residents who are struggling, I really don't have a problem with that. But they're forcing us to build almost
456 units of affordable housing. You times that by four, that's how many units we have to build. Okay? I've been saying this all along. And fair share housing, there's a fair share housing plan. We have to meet the requirements by uh January 31st of 2025. If we
didn't, we'd be penalized. Then we had to have our plan in place by June 30th of 2025. If we didn't have it in place, guess what? The state wouldn't decide where all this affordable housing and particip. So we we we complied. Even though we
sued, we complied with the laws. We complied with all the rules that the affordable housing and fair share housing wanted us to. And the the courts have agreed that these numbers are good. But guess what? Eventually down the road, they're going to challenge them. Okay? So this is what we're dealt with.
So when you sit there and you say Palms bring school age children, they don't. It's the housing, the affordable housing brings school age children. That's what brings it. Those are the mandated Mount Laurel decision from 1980. I guess it was 1980 something has decided that this
is how it works. It's not fair to towns like Paripony. Why? Because our infrastructure is really going to take a beating on all this housing coming in. our water, our roads, um everything, our police department. When this is all built out,
what's going to happen? Our everything's going to go up. So, we have to generate revenues and there's there's not too many ways to do it anymore considering that we're getting slammed with all the affordable housing. So, and listen, is there a housing problem problem in the
state of New Jersey? Obviously, there is. I get that. I wish we could do a re an RCA, a regional contribution agreement with NORC, with Camden, with all those areas that need the money, but I guess when they did it in the past, they didn't use it for the things that
needed to be used for, which was housing. So, it's being shoved down our throats, and these are the only avenues that we have as a township. >> Thank you, Council President. >> Okay. I'd like to entertain a motion to Oh, you're coming up, Ken.
And I'll speak for uh I'm not here to talk about fair share housing or uh or pilots and I never intended to talk. Let me just say this. Uh after listening for years to these arguments, I hear different sides making good arguments. What I don't see is numbers. You know
the old saying, data talks, uh you know, BS walks. All right. If you have an argument that you want to make and you want to be convincing, put it down on a spreadsheet. Show us the scenarios. Show us the gains, the losses, whatever
you're talking about. Show us numbers. Otherwise, we're just going to go on and on and on and on with the same kind of arguments, not convincing anybody. >> But we do put those numbers down in our in our budget every single year. >> The ratables that we lose or we gain is
in our budget. It's a friendly user budget and I I can't force people to go online to look at the budget and see the losses and the gains that we have. >> I'm not talking about showing budget numbers. I'm saying develop a scenario. We make this a pilot or we don't. We make these five buildings pilots or we
don't. We have a scenario about how many kids are going to come in through fair share housing. >> All those numbers. >> Okay. So, so I have to stop this guys. There's no more back and forth and I apologize, but I have to stop this cuz we have we have to continue. Sorry, Ken. We do have your We do have
your resolution on, though, so that makes up for it. That's a good resolution. >> All right. Um, seeing no one else. Okay. I'd like to entertain a motion to close the public session. >> Motion. >> Second. >> Motion made by Mr. Neglia, seconded by
