Because this is an agenda meeting, action is not taken at this time, I will ask the council to briefly review. If you have any questions, please let me

6
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:44.000
know. Okay, seeing no questions, uh before we go into the public session, uh we're going to change the order of the agenda this one time, uh because at the end of the day, we feel that the reports may alleviate some of the questions some of the audience may have. So, we're going

7
00:01:44.000 --> 00:02:01.040
to go right into reports at this time and then we'll go right into public session. So, with that being said, Mayor, thank you. Thank you, everyone. Mayor's report. Lake Hawwata Library. I'm happy to report that I recently met

8
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:16.959
with a library director regarding the Lake Hayawata library renovations. The project continues to move forward and is now entering the design phase. This has been a long awaited project and I'm looking forward to seeing the next steps.

9
00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:32.080
Next topic, R. Wallenberg memorial ceremony. I had the honor of attending our annual Raul Wallenberg memorial ceremony. His story reminds us that doing the right thing isn't always easy, but is always worth doing. One person

10
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:49.360
truly can make a difference. Officer William Stone, retirement. I also had the privilege of attending patrolman William Stone's retirement lunchon and walkout ceremony. Bill served our nation in the US Army and then served at our residence as a

11
00:02:49.360 --> 00:03:05.680
participant police officer for the past 20 years. We thank him for his service and wish him and his family all the best in retirement. Board of Education. I recently met with the superintendent Dr. uh Dr. Chase and board president Allison Kogan as part of

12
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:22.000
our monthly meeting. We continue to build a strong working relationship between the township and the board of education. We discuss several projects and opportunities where we can continue working together for the benefits of our students and residents.

13
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:37.519
Summer concert series. Our summer concert series continues every Thursday through September 3rd and I encourage everyone to come out at least once. There's really something for everyone. live music, food trucks, bounce houses,

14
00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:52.879
lawn games, ice cream, and a great opportunity to spend an evening with family, friends, and neighbors. You might even discover a new favorite band. Community events. I had a great time attending the Mazda Book Block Party. There was great food, plenty of laughs,

15
00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:08.640
adult races that were entertaining to watch, and it was wonderful seeing neighbors welcome new families into the community. I also stopped by the Hills of Troy's ice cream social. Event like this remind us that some of the best community connections happens over

16
00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:23.520
something as simple as sharing ice cream cone. I also want to congratulate uh our champions. Congratulations to the North Jersey Fellowship Men's Softball League Champions. The Pipony Crusaders is their

17
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:40.320
name. They defeated not one but two former championship teams in back-to-back games to bring home the title. That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations as well to our Red Tails travel baseball team on winning their championship. They battled through a

18
00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:55.440
rain delay, came back out, played their hearts out, and earned a welldeserved victory. And yes, they celebrated the right way with ice cream. Lastly, team Prandon won their cricket championship trophy after a thrilling

19
00:04:55.440 --> 00:05:12.560
season. All the sports team in Pipony are playing their best using our facilities and I thank them for that. I'll continue saying this because I believe is important and this is resident outreach. One of the most important parts of being a mayor is getting out into the community.

20
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:29.680
Sometimes you can solve more by standing on the street corner or walking through a neighborhood than sitting behind a desk. The best ideas and many of the biggest concerns come from conversations with residents. That's why I'll continue visiting neighborhoods, listening and following up. It's the best way to

21
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:48.000
understand the issues and it's the best way to serve our community. Tonight's agenda, we have several sites tagged as area in need of redevelopment. Many people immediately assume, "Here we go. This means another pilot." It does

22
00:05:48.000 --> 00:06:04.720
not. Let me be clear. I remain opposed to pilot agreements because I believe residents deserve to fully understand what they're getting and what they're giving up. But I also believe in democracy why every voice matters including applicants and every elected

23
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:21.919
official has a vote. That's why unlike previous administration I created the pilot review committee rather than one person making unilateral decisions. Every pilot application will be openly discussed thoroughly reviewed and considered by the full council. I have

24
00:06:21.919 --> 00:06:38.160
my opinions, but I also believe the best decisions are made through a transparent and democratic process. An area in need of redevelopment designation is only one small step in a much longer legal process. It does not approve a project.

25
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:53.600
It does not approve a pilot agreement. In fact, some redevelopment projects never even request a pilot. I met with four of these developers and two of them don't want pilots. the other two. Maybe they will. If they do, they will go

26
00:06:53.600 --> 00:07:09.440
through our pilot review committee, a committee I created for transparency. The committee's role is to expand the financial impacts, the trade-offs, and long-term implications, good or bad. Some applications may ultimately make sense, some may not. We don't know until

27
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:33.919
they are vetted out. My job as mayor is to make sure that any allegations that could harm the reputation of Paripony or its people are taken seriously. >> Many people have asked why I removed two members from one of our township

28
00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:50.800
committees. At the time, I chose not to publicly discuss the reasons because I didn't believe it was appropriate to embarrass those individuals. I still don't. However, I do believe residents deserve to understand the standards I expect of anyone serving on a township

29
00:07:50.800 --> 00:08:07.599
committee. I learned that serious allegations were being circulated accusing township officials of corruption and claiming there is an audio and video evidence to support these accusations. If someone serving on a township committee truly believes there is corruption, they have an

30
00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:23.120
obligation to report it immediately. That's how we protect the public and the integrity of our government. Because with unverified accusations, you undermine public trust without giving anyone the opportunity to determine the

31
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:39.039
truth. One individual never brought these allegations to me, never reported them through the appropriate channels, and no evidence was ever presented for review. Another individual did speak to me about the allegations and told me there had been a misunderstanding and

32
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:55.920
that we should just move on. I accepted the explanation. However, I later learned the allegations continued to be circulated within the community. However, both individuals simply continued uh to repeat these throughout the community, these allegations. That

33
00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:11.200
is not how responsible public service works. We can disagree on policy. We can disagree on decisions. Whether someone agrees with me politically is irrelevant. But if you are going to serve the people of Pipany, I expect

34
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:28.640
honesty, good faith, and the willingness to bring serious concerns to forward so that we can so they can be addressed, not spread as rumors or gossips or not repeated throughout the community on social media. As a committee member, you

35
00:09:28.640 --> 00:09:45.360
have a duty to act in the best interest of the township. As a committee member, you are to uphold the standards of honesty, responsibility, and professionalism that our residents deserve. That standard applies equally to everyone, whether I appoint them, the

36
00:09:45.360 --> 00:10:01.600
council appointed them, or they were appointed by a previous administration. Credit goes to the council that when I brought this information to them, they took action on their removal. My hope is that this reminds everyone who serves our community that with the

37
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:20.959
privilege of public service comes a responsibility to act with integrity, speak in good faith, and use the proper channel when serious concerns arise. Finally, my statement on the removal of Township committees are working

38
00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:36.480
committees. They exist to provide advice, generate ideas, and help move precipy forward. They are not honorary positions or placeholders on a resume. I never believed in filling chairs. I believed in filling them with people who

39
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:51.200
are willing to work. Public appointments are not rewards. They are responsibilities. Every appointment should advance the work of the township. Attendance matters. Participation matters. Engagement matters. When those

40
00:10:51.200 --> 00:11:08.959
expectations are no longer being met, it is appropriate to make a change to give someone else the opportunity to serve. Those decisions are not made out of animosity. They're made out of duty to the people of Persipine. This isn't about politics. It's about performance.

41
00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:24.000
The residents of Peripine deserve committees made up of people who actively contribute, not simply occupy a seat. Out of respect for the individual involved, I won't be discussing the specific reasons behind removing someone I don't believe is professional,

42
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:38.880
productive, or fair to litigate those matters in public. My responsibility is to ensure our committees are effective and my decisions will always be guided by what's in the best interest of not by public debate over individual

43
00:11:38.880 --> 00:11:57.040
appointments. Thank you. >> Thank you, mayor. Uh at this time, uh township council. Okay. I have a statement as well. So, I agreed with the mayor that the actions of those committee members were inconsistent with standards of

44
00:11:57.040 --> 00:12:15.120
professionalism and judgment we expect from township advisory committees. For that reason, I made the motion to remove them. Okay. Committee appointments are positions of public trust and I believe those serving

45
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:32.480
on them should always act in a manner that reflects positively on the township and the residents we serve. >> Any other member from council have a report? Okay. [clears throat] Any reports for township offices or committees? I know you guys like to have those. >> I have one. >> Okay. Go ahead, please.

46
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:49.600
The economic development committee continues its efforts to support business growth, attract investment, and strengthen the local economy through ribbon cutting ceremonies and community outreach initiatives. The committee joined by Mayor Pokeet Desai will welcome Nirvana located at 2561 Route 10

47
00:12:49.600 --> 00:13:03.839
in the Galleria 10 Mall during an official ribbon cutting ceremony on Sunday, August 9th at 11:00 a.m. Two additional ribbon cutting ceremonies will be held on Saturday, August 15th. The first will welcome Beerman Autism

48
00:13:03.839 --> 00:13:21.279
Center located at 2001 Route 46 at 10:00 a.m. The committee will then celebrate the opening of Pizzanada located at 102 North Beverwick Road at 100 p.m. In addition to supporting new and expanding businesses, the economic development committee in partnership with Mayor

49
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:39.279
Desai has launched a new welcome to our community program. This initiative is designed to introduce new homeowners to many resources, services, organizations, and businesses available throughout Pipony Troy Hills. The monthly meetings, oh, sorry, the monthly mailings include

50
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:54.720
information from the P from the Township of PC Troy Hills, the township's library, local nonprofit organizations, and participating businesses, as well as offering special promotions and discounts. The program will help new residents become familiar with the

51
00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:10.320
community while providing local businesses with an opportunity to introduce their products and services to potential new customers. Businesses interested in participating in the future welcome to our community mailings are welcome and encouraged to contact economic development committee chairman

52
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:27.079
Frank Cahill. The committee's next meeting will be held on Thursday, August 13th at 6:30 p.m. in the third floor conference room at 90 East Holly Road. Meetings are open to the public. For additional information, please contact Chairman Frank Hill at 973-559-6000.

53
00:14:27.760 --> 00:14:43.600
Thank you. That's all for me. >> Thank you. Um, Petni, report. >> None. Thank you. >> Thank you. And I have no report at this time. Uh, at this time, we're going to go ahead into our public session. I'd like to entertain a motion to open up the public session. >> Motion. >> Motion made by Mr. Kavanaaugh, second by

54
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:59.519
Mr. Karifi. Roll call. Mr. Karifi. Yes. >> Mr. Kavanagh. Mr. McGrath. >> Yes. >> Miss Patel. >> Yes. Mr. Hernandez. >> Yes. >> Okay. The floor is open to the public. Uh, please state your name. You'll have 5 minutes to speak on any matter you'd like. Thank you. It's no public today.

55
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:25.680
Come on up, please. Ma'am, we welcome. You can sign in if you'd like. Sure. Absolutely. >> Thank you. >> Good evening. Can I just ask you to you you can grab the mic. You can take it off if you like. >> I prefer not to. I don't have to. Is this okay? >> Yep. That's perfect.

56
00:15:25.680 --> 00:15:43.360
>> Okay. Good evening. My name is Alexandra Ricardi and until two years ago, I owned a home in Morristown for 13 years. I was then tempor temporarily living in Paripony. That's why I'm here today. um until I temporarily became homeless as

57
00:15:43.360 --> 00:16:00.240
funds dwindled and I actually moved to a domestic violence shelter and friends sofas because obviously I'm I'm English. I don't have family here. Um let me start first of all and just set the stage a little bit in terms of what a family equity stripping scam actually is

58
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:17.120
that I was a victim of. Equity stripping is when someone silently drains the built-up value out of a person's home, the equity, while making the paperwork look completely routine. In a family equity stripping scam, the people doing it are relatives or in-laws. And the

59
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:32.320
disguise is even better because who suspects family? It does not look like a robbery. It looks like a divorce settlement. It looks like a refinance. It looks like just add his name to the deed. It looks like an inheritance. The theft is only visible years later when

60
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:49.279
the home and the money are gone. That is what happened to me and I want to be precise about when it started. The groundwork was laid 10 years ago at my divorce without my knowledge. When my marriage ended, my equity percentages, the proof of how much of that home was mine, which was 100%, was stripped out

61
00:16:49.279 --> 00:17:05.520
of my divorce settlement agreement. I did not know it at the time that the people who did it were not careful enough. They left the references to those percentages in the agreement by accident. And they left in an incumbrance clause and a lean clause. Those clauses are thankfully my

62
00:17:05.520 --> 00:17:21.919
protection today. They are proof that my interest was a superior interest, a senior lean that was meant to protect me. They are proof that I was a 100% owner of the equity in my home. They tried to strip out the proof. They missed a piece. And that piece is the truth.

63
00:17:21.919 --> 00:17:37.840
In 2016, a realtor transfer form, something that I didn't know about, called an RTF1, was filed that moved 50% of my equity to my elderly father-in-law for a recited price of $1. It was moved to it was then moved to his son, my

64
00:17:37.840 --> 00:17:54.559
abuser, who did not have it to move. $1 for half of a home worth over a million. Under New Jersey law, falsifying the consideration on that form is a fourthderee crime. I was told the opposite of what was really happening. I was told my father-in-law only had to be

65
00:17:54.559 --> 00:18:10.160
added to the deed temporarily for a refinance and that his will would return the home to me when he passed. Every party knew that was the deal. Even my ex-husband's own attorney put it in writing. In plain terms that I was effectively getting my home for free.

66
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:26.559
The divorce settlement agreement stated that full title must vest to me. They said it would officially occur when my father-in-law died due to his needing to be on my deed for the refinance. I gave up $750,000 in personal injury, pension, and alimony

67
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:43.440
for that mortgage payoff. Logically, I could not have given all of these huge things up for anything else, as 100% of the equity in the home was already mine. But when my father-in-law died, the deed did not come back to me. Instead, that same $1 form, the felony filing, was

68
00:18:43.440 --> 00:19:00.160
used as a weapon. It was used to claim my in-laws estate owned half of my home for the benefit and the inheritance of my escaped abuser, who had went on to violently assault the lady after me and almost murdered her. This allowed them to force the sale of my house with my

69
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:16.880
service dog when I was in the middle of bone marrow treatment. That timing was not an accident. forcing the sale. Let them pay off the mortgage. Erase the promises that have been made to me, the promise of the 750,000, the alimony that I gave up after I've been put as a disabled person. And I

70
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:32.320
actually have an invisible disability. I have a degenerative disease similar to MS with no job, a temporary resident at the time onto a 30-year debt that I could never pay. They kept the benefit of my waiverss. They took half my money, and they dressed the whole thing up as a

71
00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:47.679
legitimate inheritance. It left me homeless temporarily as I mentioned and it cost the life of my federally protected service dog whose safety no one once considered in this entire process. Now here is what I happened when I turned to the Paripony

72
00:19:47.679 --> 00:20:02.799
Police Department. I reported a witness tampering event as part of this litigation in 2024. Local officers deactivated their body cameras. I met with them on two occasions. first time for an hour and a half, second time for an hour in what

73
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:20.240
was being considered as that time as a potential crime. We didn't know that it later wouldn't be. Off camera, I was told that the family the family who obviously I'm involved with was spiteful. And I was told in substance that the family involved is known for fraud, significant fraud. Then they left

74
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:35.679
me. Not one word of what they told me made it into their report, which deeply concerned me. >> You have 30 seconds remaining. >> Okay. um and then someone else will take over. I had also told them how a retired Morristown County prosecutor lieutenant

75
00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:51.280
heading up general investigations, someone who currently works at Morris Township Police Station, had become romantically involved with me 7 weeks after the Normandy Heights Road fire that killed my in-laws. He had threatened me and had told me not to ask questions about a home safe that had been retrieved from the fire in which my

76
00:20:51.280 --> 00:21:07.520
in-laws died. Not one word of that made it into the report either with your Pacifany detectives. A year later, when I finally obtained the police reports myself, I learned that this same police worker was the person who handed my evidence over to the my very own family

77
00:21:07.520 --> 00:21:22.480
member who I'm in litigation against, Walter Ricardi. I complained about the Paripony detectives and was told there was no wrongdoing even though the Governor Murphy directive states that body cams should be activated and both hourong interviews they were deactivated

78
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:38.880
as also occurred with a chief of Morris Township police weeks. How much longer do you have? >> Just like one paragraph. >> All right. >> Otherwise, somebody else could take my time and finish up. >> Okay. Do that because it's compelling. >> Thank you very much. Even though the same occurred with the chief of Morris

79
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:55.520
Township Police weeks after the fire investigation where reports were also missing hugely important information regarding money owed and this fire. So, I went back to report the deed theft scam again to Paripony Police. This time I was met by an officer who told me, and

80
00:21:55.520 --> 00:22:11.520
I'm quoting what was said to me, "It's up to them who they want to leave their property to." Either that officer did not understand what a deed theft scam is, or I was being retaliated against. Think about that sentence. It's up to them who they want to leave their property to. It was not truly their

81
00:22:11.520 --> 00:22:27.360
property. It was my my home. And that is the whole point of fraud that I was trying to report to your detectives. That is not the response we should expect from our local law enforcement. And this is not the safety we should expect from our own community. A family went from spiteful to committing what

82
00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:43.840
they documented as fraud to being treated as the rightful owners of a disabled woman's adapted home of 13 years while the victim was shown the door twice. I'm asking this body to see this for what it is and to ask the questions that have not been asked to date. Why were the body cameras turned

83
00:22:43.840 --> 00:23:00.320
off on both occasions? Why was my true account um regarding this other gentleman at Morris Township Police completely omitted from the report? >> Do you have a list of questions there if you want to turn? >> There's one more question. There's one more. And why with this much documented fraud sitting in the court docket? Has

84
00:23:00.320 --> 00:23:14.720
it been waved away as a sealed case instead of investigated by our New Jersey Morristown County prosecutor? Thank you very much. >> You mind giving that to the >> I can Are you going to uh I'm going to just stick around after the meeting. I'll see you for a few minutes. >> Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

85
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:40.400
And thank you for the extra time. >> Anyone else? I want to say how refreshing it is that you're cleaning house because the prior mayor obviously had his persons in place that were beneficial to

86
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:56.320
him. >> So, how wonderful and refreshing it is. >> I'm sorry. Can you give us your your name? >> I will. >> Okay. >> My name is Isabella Reyes. I've lived in Paripany for over 13 14 years. >> Thank you.

87
00:23:56.320 --> 00:24:12.480
>> So, thank you for allowing me to speak tonight. I'm here as a mother and a person who has spent years trying to uh obtain equal protection, accurate police reporting, and a fair opportunity to be heard. For the past 7 years, I've experienced what I believe to be

88
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:27.919
selective policing and the weaponization of systems that are supposed to protect people. I am not here to ask this council to decide my family court cases. I am here to ask why reports are and that are

89
00:24:27.919 --> 00:24:43.919
allegedly incomplete, why evidence is omitted, why investigators are not consistently following through, and why residents, especially women and mothers, are left without meaningful documentation when they report abuse. My

90
00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:58.799
ex-husband obtained a protective order against me based on information I maintain as false and I have video and photographic evidence, but it seems that no one seems to want to see it. His close connections with

91
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:16.159
the Sons of Italy and law enforcement has really solidified the fact that I can't get anyone to see audio, video, photographic evidence. I was told that family court would allow me to present the evidence and call all my witnesses and place documents onto

92
00:25:16.159 --> 00:25:32.080
the record. In my experience, that did not happen. I was unable to fully present evidence that I believe contradicted all the claims that were put against me. When a resident cannot get a complete incident report, I was not even given the opportunity to file

93
00:25:32.080 --> 00:25:48.320
police incident reports and I have video of what happened. And I'm not talking one or two incidents. I'm talking about over 50 falsified police reports in participate police department. The reason why I came forward now is because finally Mayor Barbario's out of here and

94
00:25:48.320 --> 00:26:04.799
I know that someone will honestly look at the situation for me. So when a resident can't get a complete incident report when statements are inaccurately recorded when video and audio evidence appears inconsistently and and their and their cameras were also turned off in my

95
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:20.799
case too. I was told that my complaints were lost were uh the video wasn't on when I made uh complaints against police officers. Then um the internal affairs officer and the other individual that took my sexual assault case, they were

96
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:37.840
both given promotions 6 months after no one investigated my case. So a police report is not just paperwork. It can affect custody, housing, employment, finances, personal safety, and parents relationship with children. I have video and audio

97
00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:52.880
evidence, records, and documentation that I believe show discrepancies, huge discrepancies between what occurred and what was written. I believe some reports emitted material facts or contain statements that favored my former husband. I also

98
00:26:52.880 --> 00:27:09.200
believe internal review process, domestic violence procedures and investigative proto protocols were not applied equally or transparently in my matter. In this pattern that I've realized after my very adversarial seven-year divorce, I've gone into

99
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:26.400
various groups. It seems that there's a lot of women in Morris County experiencing the same thing. You're going through a divorce with an adversarial person and all of a sudden there's backroom doors uh deals happening behind the scenes. Children can become collateral damage

100
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:41.919
when one parent is empowered to use police reports, protective orders, child protection referrals, and court processes a total tool of retaliation rather than safety. I request an independent audit of the Paripony Police

101
00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:59.520
Department's handling of domestic violence, sexual crimes, and internal affair complaints. That audit should examine whether incident reports are timely and complete. Whether body cameras were worn and turned on, as it was supposed to after year 2021,

102
00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:15.600
and complete whether body cameras, video, audio, and witness evidence are preserved and reviewed. whether reports are properly submitted, whether investigations are completed, and whether residents are treated equally equally, [cough] regardless [clears throat] of

103
00:28:15.600 --> 00:28:32.960
wealth, connections, gender, race, or social status. I [clears throat] also ask for a clear public procedure so every resident knows how to obtain reports, challenge factual inadequacies, and submit evidence, and receive an independent review. This audit will be

104
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:48.960
super simple for you because for over 10 years I've been recording secretly paripony secretly recording a lot of meetings. I worked on a lot of people's campaigns. [snorts] I know a lot of information

105
00:28:48.960 --> 00:29:05.120
paripony but for 10 years I've been secretly recording. So how refreshing it is to have a new face that will listen to evidence. I want to say that 19773, >> you have 30 seconds. >> Okay. 1973.

106
00:29:05.120 --> 00:29:21.600
1973 was the last time Morris County had a Democratic freeholder on the desk. Chris Russo is running. Let's put new blood in the system. Also, Amahilia, she's running for District 11,

107
00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:38.480
Congresswoman the Dominican. I know how some people don't like people of color. I've lived here in Parsi for many years. I know what I'm authoring to. So, I will be in contact with you, Mr. Mayor. Sure. >> And Madame Council President, and I'll show you actual evidence cuz audio,

108
00:29:38.480 --> 00:30:23.919
video, photographs don't lie. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Any other member from the public? Come on up, Miss Palmary. Good. Good evening, um, council members, Mr. Mayor. Um, first after hearing these

109
00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:42.000
stories, I just would like to say to these women that my heart goes out to you. Um it's been close to 40 years when I was in a relationship that was a battered woman's room. And um I have to tell you I had

110
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:56.720
such support from this town, from Morris County, from Morristown battered women's society that that this is heartbreaking to me. Um so I really wish you all the

111
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:14.799
best and good luck. Um so the reason I am speaking here tonight is first I would like to know if the township is considering flying the Italian flag during October for

112
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:30.640
Italian-American month. We cannot pick and choose who we fly flags for. You either do everybody or we do nothing. Okay. You set a precedent in June. Now I think you need to follow through

113
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:47.919
for every other group that lives in this town if we really want to say that we are inclusive. [clears throat] Um I would I don't care about that so much. Um, I would like to know if we can

114
00:31:47.919 --> 00:32:04.799
get an update more on the pilot programs in regards to how much revenue has actually been collected this year because I know we're going to start going into next year's budget cycle and the amount of revenue as uh was stated

115
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:21.760
in previous budget meetings impacts if you don't have it, we can't include it. So, where are we with um receiving revenue from the pilot projects? Um

116
00:32:21.760 --> 00:32:40.559
I'd also like to state, Mr. Mayor, it it's very clear to me tonight that there are a lot of accusations floating around regarding the removal of the um people from the economic committee. And um I'm

117
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:54.159
glad that you have tried to put out transparency, but I got to tell you after your speech, it's even more cloudy for me than it was before. The only thing I think you were trying to say, it's not

118
00:32:54.159 --> 00:33:11.919
um party related. Um but you need to keep in mind that um what is it that I said? Keep in mind that perception is just as

119
00:33:11.919 --> 00:33:29.840
much as reality. Okay, for many people the perception of what is going on [clears throat] is their reality. and the way that the removal happened. Um, I think you can do a better job with how you go about doing that and alleviate

120
00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:45.840
some of what is going on. Um, I would really like to know what the process is for assigning people and for the remov removal of people. I just think it's in the council and mayor's best interest

121
00:33:45.840 --> 00:34:02.000
that you're more transparent upfront than let all the uh rumors and allegations and everything else go around. You didn't kind of nip it in the bud in the first place. Um, and then my next question, and Judy,

122
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:18.320
this really goes towards you, is we have the project for 879 South Berwick Road, um, where they want to build or add on um, in a residential

123
00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:36.320
area that is protected by the wetlands and has no sidewalks. Um, I understand we have to go through the process, but at what point do you put a line in the sand and say, "Listen, we're wasting

124
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:53.800
township dollars while you keep going back for like the fifth time to come up with new proposals." I mean, there's got to be a limit somewhere that legally makes sense so that we don't get sued after the fact. Um,

125
00:34:54.879 --> 00:35:09.920
let's see. Play update. Oh, vision zero. Do you have any updates on where we are with that? Because it's really nice. My my bosses always told me, don't come to me with ideas. Come to me with results. So,

126
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:27.119
we implemented idea. Can we get some results to see how we're doing with that? because I'm still seeing way too many accidents and way too much splitting in this town. So, thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Paul Mary. Any other member of public?

127
00:35:27.119 --> 00:36:02.160
Saladino, come right up. >> Pen. >> She's our She's our pen person today. Thank you so much. That is much appreciated. >> Where's your pen? [clears throat] >> Hi. How's everyone doing? Um,

128
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:17.119
>> can you speak on the side now? >> Yes, I can speak right into the microphone. Um, I apologize for arriving late and it seems like I walked into a very serious tone meeting. Um, and I

129
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:33.920
haven't spoken in a while and there have been some things I wanted to bring up and ask all of you about um, to see what we're doing about it. I will say um I have a little bit of PTSD because I uh went through a very difficult divorce

130
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:51.359
20 years ago in Mars County and I experienced a lot of what I just heard and um I was kind of hoping it had gotten better and it seems like it hasn't. So, it's really time for a change. So, I'm supportive of anything we can do to help these women.

131
00:36:51.359 --> 00:37:09.440
Um but I wanted to ask about two um two specific things and they're very related. One being ALPRs. Um Flock cameras are one. Uh Axon,

132
00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:25.119
there are several manufacturers. I I can't name them all, but um I I was looking at deflock.org or and it looks like there are no flop cameras in Paripany except for in the

133
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:42.240
parking lot of Home Depot. Um, so and I remember hearing here that that was put up by the owners of that property. Um, I don't know if passing an ordinance that would make these types of cameras

134
00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:58.240
illegal in our town would allow for having those people take down those cameras. If not, there are other ways to pressure people to remove cameras which are infringing on our First Amendment rights. uh we could simply stop

135
00:37:58.240 --> 00:38:13.920
patronizing the businesses in that area and say that I don't need to be tracked. I don't need every police department in this country to be able to access data of what I'm doing in my personal time.

136
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:31.599
Um, if you just look at the difference between a public servant and a private citizen and you look at the difference between the first amendment and the fourth amendment, you can clearly see that there is no case for the government

137
00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:49.440
to be monitoring what people are doing when they're in the parking lot of a store, when they're in a park, when kids are playing in a park, when they're at a gym, when they are driving on a highway. Okay, we have a police force that their

138
00:38:49.440 --> 00:39:05.599
presence on these roads should be slowing people down. The fact that they do pull people over for speeding should be slowing people down. If people aren't slowing down, they should be ticketed. um you know, but a camera that reads my

139
00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:23.280
license plate and potentially reads my face and recognizes me and tracks what I do in my time as a private citizen is a complete complete uh obstruction of my rights. So, I feel that we need to in

140
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:40.560
advance create an ordinance to ban these types of cameras. I would like to know how all of the council members feel about an ordinance like that. Um because the bottom line is like I said government limited government public

141
00:39:40.560 --> 00:39:58.720
servants government no back door deals. private citizens who are afforded due process and who should not be assumed guilty of anything should be able to go about their daily business without being tracked. So number one, that is an

142
00:39:58.720 --> 00:40:14.560
ordinance I wanted to ask about. And second, something very related to the cameras would be the data centers. The data centers that are going up all over this country that are sucking up the resources that as a human race we need

143
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:31.599
to survive. Those data centers are there to compile surveillance data on private citizens. That is not acceptable. And I strongly strongly advise that we create an

144
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:48.400
ordinance. And yes, please review and do your due diligence so that we don't create an ordinance that is going to get us into some kind of trouble or have some data center oligarch suing our town cuz of course that's not what we want.

145
00:40:48.400 --> 00:41:03.680
But what we want is we want our privacy protected. We want our resources protected. We want clean drinking water. Our our government is putting a lot of money and time into improving the infrastructure so that we can have clean

146
00:41:03.680 --> 00:41:20.480
drinking water. We have trees. We are Tree Town USA. Let's keep it that way. I think we need these ordinances and I think we need to try and convince the owner of that property to remove that block camera. >> Okay. >> Thank you.

147
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:37.359
>> Hold on. Uh Judy, we just have her take a seat and then you can answer cuz it's not going to be a back and forth. >> Sit down. I'll answer and then we'll answer. Sure. Um >> Miss Palmir as well. >> Okay. So, yes. Were you here last time? Because we did talk about data centers. We're going to be talking about data

148
00:41:37.359 --> 00:41:53.920
centers. I'm looking at some of the ordinances right now. There's lots of them and the state does have some guidance on that. So, give it give me a little time, [clears throat] but we are talking about that. Well, at least we're looking at that and for all the reasons

149
00:41:53.920 --> 00:42:11.604
you said and um we have to talk to our lawyer about the flaw cameras. They are in that I know the mall you're talking about the Home Depot where the Kmart was. I don't know about any other ones and for all the reasons you said I agree. Um I don't like what

150
00:42:11.604 --> 00:42:27.359
[clears throat] they're doing, but we have to talk to Joe DeMarco about that and I don't know any what we can do about that. Right, Joe? Yeah. I mean, we can look into because it's on private property and it's existing, but we can clearly look into

151
00:42:27.359 --> 00:42:42.880
both of those issues. >> You're correct that the on the data center there are a number of different ordinances that are out there. We, you know, we need to pick the one that >> fits. I think it follows what the state is saying, you know. >> Yep. >> And then Miss Pomeary,

152
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:59.520
>> Miss Palmary had a bunch of things. We'll start with the one you mentioned to me. I think you were referring to the center, the Islamic center for the board of adjustment, >> the wetlands. Yes. >> Right. Um I agree. I

153
00:42:59.520 --> 00:43:16.079
I don't know why it's going on like it is. I I don't know why. Um that's a conversation we should be having with a bunch of people outside. I'm I'm on the planning board myself, but um

154
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:32.079
um vision zero, we we'll give that to you. Uh sure. And I thought I think his statement maybe he can talk about that again what you asked about the uh but but for the committees um and about being partisan.

155
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:48.480
I did appoint those people in a nonpartisan way. So um cuz I believe in that. I think that's how it should be on committees. So that's me and I think the CFO can tell us more about pilots when she comes.

156
00:43:48.480 --> 00:44:04.400
>> Well, we're we're in the process just to I don't mean to cut you off, council president. I apologize for that, but we're in the process, Miss Pomeary, of doing pilot audits. So once we audit those pilots that have been done, we'll have some information for you. I've actually just contacted an individual today. So ironically, you brought that up.

157
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:19.839
>> You're welcome, man. And for flags, I think we're talking about lots of different flags. >> Flags. Absolutely. I think last time when this was uh we passed a resolution, we said that we'll fly. Anybody else wants to fly a flag, get in touch with us, you know, as long as it's not

158
00:44:19.839 --> 00:44:35.200
offensive, I think Mr. Karifi did us. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Karifi did bring that up. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We all for it. >> Any other member from the public? Come on up, Mr. Heler. My name is Hank Heler and I live in

159
00:44:35.200 --> 00:44:52.800
Paripony. Um, I've brought this issue up before on a prior administration, but I'd like very much to have this administration examine the problem that we have on Edwards and New Edwards Road and New Road. We have traffic coming from both directions trying to get

160
00:44:52.800 --> 00:45:10.880
across Route 46 and and it's frankly it's it's very dangerous. There are lots of accidents there. Uh, I almost got clipped a few days ago and it's it's really it's really problematic. I've been told in the past that well it's a it's a it's a county problem or it's a

161
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:27.280
state problem. uh it's a government problem and I'd like our government to address it and to and if if this body is not the the proper uh authority to take care of that. You guys do know who the property proper authorities are and can

162
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:45.720
get something done so that those those roads can be made much more safe for all the people who are going on them who need to travel them. Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you Mr. Any other member from public? Mr. Homier, come on up. Sir,

163
00:45:46.800 --> 00:46:06.319
uh Nick Homiac, I want to make a comment about the 879, the uh Islamic Cultural Center. At those meetings, the subject of land use, the actual land

164
00:46:06.319 --> 00:46:22.400
character itself, has not come up. We're talking about Islamic funeral practices, which has nothing to do with the issue. And it does, it goes on and on. You leave, you have a

165
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:37.040
migraine headache. They have no environmental impact statement. They have no Highlands determination. Precipan is in the Highlands conformance. Now the board of

166
00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:54.880
adjustments is acting like we are not. If wildlife preserves and they had permission to make a visitor center in Troy Meadows, if they had to go through Highland's determination

167
00:46:54.880 --> 00:47:13.440
and go through all the wetland criteria and H79 doesn't and the board hasn't even asked that question to them, then it there's really something uh whack going on here.

168
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:28.640
And as far as Col uh flying an Italian flag for for October, which is Columbus Day, I could see one day, but Columbus was

169
00:47:28.640 --> 00:47:45.839
not Italian because Italy did not exist. And the evidence shows he was really the illegitimate son of King Henry V of Portugal. And he was born in a little

170
00:47:45.839 --> 00:48:04.720
town of Portugal called Cuba. >> Well, Sacko and Vanzetti would be a better uh two people to [clears throat] other than Columbus. Columbus was the beginning of genocide of the Native

171
00:48:04.720 --> 00:48:21.680
American people. All right. But and I heard some good news that we're going to look starting to look into getting the trash nets to uh defend Troy Meadows again. >> Promises made storm water runoff. Say again. >> Promises made, promises kept.

172
00:48:21.680 --> 00:48:40.000
>> And and I'm very happy to hear it. Thank you, Mr. DeMarco. >> Not a problem, sir. >> All right, that's it. Any other member from public? >> Okay. Uh, no member. Come on up, sir. >> First thing I'm wondering what, Mr.

173
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:56.240
DeMarco, why why are you running the meeting? >> I'm not running. >> All right. I'm sorry, the business administrator. Sorry. >> Oh, I'm I'm actually the clerk administrator. >> Clerk, but you're But you're you're out of order every time that the Everything's supposed to go through the chair. I wasn't even planning on speaking.

174
00:48:56.240 --> 00:49:12.800
>> Okay. Right. But I'm government accountability and transparency advocate. So I go to towns and I see how the procedures are and see how the policies are >> and according to Robert's rules, everything has to go through the chair. So it's kind of like everything's under your direction and stuff. So I'm just

175
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:28.160
curious as to why everything's not going through the chair. Why are not doing that? >> Well, no, the chair. >> Any other questions? >> Even that has to go through the chair. I mean, >> well question >> even you right now like Yeah. I was wondering what the answer to that is. >> You have other questions. You can you

176
00:49:28.160 --> 00:49:43.280
have five minutes, but you can speak and then ask all your question >> if you I would like that answered right now. >> Well, just so just so you're aware just so you're aware. >> You're also not going through the chair right now. >> So, uh, council president through you. Is that what you like? Is that good? >> I would like you to follow Robert's rules.

177
00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:59.599
>> So, council president through you. Uh, we have an agreement, her and I, where we run the the meeting together, sir. So, that's what it is. >> It's been it's been like this is the first time anybody's ever complained, but >> Okay. Well, also where's the clock? Where's the clock? So the clock. The clock. Just so you're Why aren't the

178
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:14.720
public seeing the clock? >> You should ask all those questions and then answer it. That's our policy. >> No, no. You're also out of order right now. >> By doing that, you're out of order. You're not following Robert's rules. >> Okay. >> Why does Why do you have that look on your face? >> Okay. We're listening to you.

179
00:50:14.720 --> 00:50:29.839
>> We're listening. Please. >> May I have May I have an answer on that? >> I want you to ask all your questions. You have five minutes and when you're finished, >> this is non-public comment time. So, if we're not going to answer questions in real time, I would at least like that on the record.

180
00:50:29.839 --> 00:50:45.200
>> Ask our questions. You're allowed to speak for 5 minutes. >> And then if you don't answer them and I sit down and then we will answer your question if you don't answer them and I sit down. I have to have a back and forth and then I'm out of order now because my questions aren't being I don't have a chance to rebuttal. Right. Then I have to wait two weeks and come

181
00:50:45.200 --> 00:51:00.400
back. Exa. Exactly. We don't have a chance to rebuttal if they don't answer questions in real time. So, do you see the problem with that? >> That's how it is here. >> And that's a problem. And not following Robert's rules because of a personal agreement between the business

182
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:15.920
administrator and the council president. Does anybody else see that as an issue? >> It's a public agreement, sir. Everybody knows I've been running this meeting with her for >> a public agreement that >> contends with Roberts. I think I think that's a problem. One thing I've noticed about first off, the audio is horrible.

183
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:32.400
>> It's absolutely horrible. And I know you're a quick talker. It kind of feels like I'm at a racetrack and I'm watching the horses go around and around around. Okay. >> And the audio doesn't help that cuz it really makes me feel like I'm supposed to get a hot dog and a beer and like get it over with, get it over with, get it over with. >> But I have to put this on the record.

184
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:47.760
>> Uh, and you were very accommodating as I came here, right? But the the two women to my left here, and this has to be put on the public record. The entire time that they were speaking, you have an officer out here going back and forth,

185
00:51:47.760 --> 00:52:03.599
back and forth, [clears throat] back and forth, making their presence known. Every other speaker after these two women, there is no presence of the police, making themselves be known. So, as they're talking about retaliatory government issues, right, cuz the

186
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:20.480
institutions and the agencies that are meant to protect people are the ones that cause the most harm. And as we have this camera here that faces the back. How disrespectful for the people watching at home. Let's see more of the face of the council. We want

187
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:36.079
more facetime. That's disrespectful. What if I want to speak to the people at home, right? If I want to convey my message to everybody watching cuz this meeting is broadcasted all over the world, right? So there's other people who are at this meeting when you're

188
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:51.760
watching it at home. It's disrespectful to stare at the back of someone, isn't it? It's quite disrespectful. And that's a very subtle way of making sure that they separate the face from the story.

189
00:52:51.760 --> 00:53:08.240
Remove the face from the story, show their back, have some horrible audio, and then consider the things that they're talking about. So, these are all things that need to be considered. Not one time did an officer do this back

190
00:53:08.240 --> 00:53:24.800
and forth routine after these two women spoke. So, I want that on the record. I think that's an issue, especially considering the stuff that they just said. Why do we even have an officer at the meeting? Why Why are we doing this? Why are we intimidating members of the

191
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:40.640
public? When the one gentleman spoke, I know he spoke for a short amount of time. No presence of the police. When the other gentleman spoke, no presence of the police. Miss Paul Maring when she spoke, no presence of the police. But when these two women were put given their testimony,

192
00:53:40.640 --> 00:53:56.400
>> you have 30 seconds. >> They're doing this back and forth. Back and forth. Why are they even here? Why are the police even here? That doesn't make me feel comfortable. That doesn't make me feel comfortable. That's intimidation. That's what government likes to do. They

193
00:53:56.400 --> 00:54:11.599
like to intimidate. And apparently that's a problem here in Mars County. Problem here in Paripony. I like to I like for the It's the reason why I wanted to come here and film the speakers so the face could go with the story,

194
00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:28.480
not the story with the back of it. Is that my time? >> I didn't know because I can't see it. >> Yeah. Isn't that a problem? >> I'm telling you it's time. >> Okay. Well, I would like another minute respectfully. I think what we need to do is have >> No, no, give him his minute. It's okay. >> Okay. You know what? You have a little bit of time to stay ahead of

195
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:45.920
>> Exactly. So, you be so quick to, you know, punch punch the gabble. Right. We're nice. >> You can you can't handle criticism? >> No, I do. I said we're being nice. Were you I'm not >> No, but I'm just saying with the reactions and stuff like that is little bit of a concern if you ask me.

196
00:54:45.920 --> 00:55:01.359
>> Now I forgot what I was going to say. >> But we have to start following Robert's rules. That's an issue. And uh Oh, the clock. The clock. Why we're not All right. So, like if we're going to be a transparent government, transparent body, wouldn't it be a good idea if we

197
00:55:01.359 --> 00:55:17.680
could see our own time? Wouldn't that be a good idea? >> As a show of hands, does anybody on the board think that maybe it would be a good idea and be in the best interest of the public if we could see a clock?

198
00:55:17.680 --> 00:55:33.839
Let the record show that not one person raised their hand. >> Thank you, Mr. Anonymous. Anyone else? And that's intimidation >> by by calling you Mr. Anonymous. >> I'll make a motion to close. >> Motion to close. >> All my information comes up. >> Second.

199

200
00:55:49.119 --> 00:56:10.880
