[Music] good evening welcome to the May uh I should say welcome to the February 25th 2025 i I want spring meeting of the township council miss Marsh in accordance with the requirements of New Jersey's open public meetings act notice
of this meeting was included in the annual meeting notice which was filed in the office of the township clerk posted on the bulletin board of the municipal building published as a legal notice in the suburban trends and daily record newspapers and distributed to all persons requesting notice in accordance with township policy thank you please join me in the pledge of allegiance
followed by a prayer and a moment of silence and thanks for the individuals serving our nation i pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible
with liberty and justice for all most gracious province we ask that you bless this governing body with an abundance of wisdom and understanding so that every deliberation will result in actions which will promote the common good and the general welfare for all of
the people of Quanic Township amen amen [Music] the clerk will please call the role mrs lawrence Lynch here mr cole here mrs russell here mr syracuse
here mr mayor Dy here um uh number five on the agenda there there are no presentations scheduled for this evening number six reports from volunteers at this time is there any reports or comments from any of the volunteers serving our community yes Mr peter come on
down good evening my name is Peter Schmidt um I speak on behalf of the economic uh development advisory committee and uh we decided in the committee to propose to put uh the
business application process on a web page to make it easier for businesses to go through their application process here in this community um we had already a meeting with uh the town township manager and Tamara Ross uh
in initial meeting and um she generated a report we discussed one of the main application forms zoning permit and what I should report on is that there is an initiative we are getting started we
looked already at the report it's already very interesting um I don't know it looks from the report that half of the permits are uh decided and issued within 2 days i was really really
surprised seeing that am I right right that's what what the report says i don't have it in front of me but there were five or six that took longer than 16 days so I think beyond creating
a web page that might help businesses I think we could go for more goals namely finding opportunities yeah understanding why why can it be that it is done in 2 days can we just generalize that and and become
better and use some of this information to tout uh this community as very businessfriendly i think there's lots of opportunities so this is the beginning of this this uh uh endeavor project and we follow up a little bit more regularly
and hopefully we find some opportunities for this community that's what I wanted to record okay thank you thank you pleasure thank you for your hard work thank you thank you any other volunteers seeing none we'll move on to public comment the next item on the
agenda is public comments this comment period will be limited limited to a total of 30 minutes additional time is reserved later in the meeting we welcome comments suggestions and questions during the period however the purpose of this is not to is to allow public comment and not to engage in dialogue if
you have a specific question please feel free to pose it and then follow up with staff via telephone or email comments are limited to 3 minutes please if anyone wishes to address the council please wait to be recognized and come to the microphone and provide your name for the record yes come on
up uh Matt Ran I don't we don't have to provide our address anymore right correct okay you could probably make some assumptions of why I'm here um but uh two reasons and the first one June 11th last year 2024 you guys reported out that you
received a grant for 60,000 for I believe it was $60,000 i believe Mayor Herd shared it that for the lights to be able to turn on lights just looking for an update on that i know that's sometimes that process takes time but just want to put that back on your radar
uh additionally so I I wanted to come here today because something's been on my mind um and this is don't take this the wrong way at all i'm just here to speak i know you know John you were involved in Little League for quite some time i know uh Mr cole you were as well
and I've seen you all at our parades and thrown out first pitches so um if you don't know Matt Ryan I represent our Little League i am the president and board member currently uh this year uh we are a nonprofit league that has been in the community for over 70 years
servicing the children and families of this community uh operated solely on volunteers uh our board in this community is very lucky to not only have the support of this council but support of local families and businesses uh each year is our goal to make sure we operate
in an environment to promote development friendship and most importantly fun for boys and girls uh currently our league has an enrollment of 280 boys that's actually 283 since I wrote this um and over 190 girls which is our highest
numbers in years um so we're thrilled about the progress we're making within the community our goal is to reach 500 kids and we are very close with that being said we are currently the only outdoor sport in this town that does not have access to a turf facility uh all
other sports lacrosse soccer football field hockey even the band have the luxury of playing at our local high school and never truly impacted by rain forcing their games to be cancelled and while our community is very lucky to have towns that are maintained by the DPW
um we are in a position like a business where we're always trying to innovate always looking at new ways to improve and expand our offering to the community uh several surrounding towns in the area have been fortunate to add state-of-the-art baseball and softball facilities through town funds paci I
know is a little bit different with open space funds me and Mr brewer have had that conversation in the past um communities like Lincoln Park Wayne two fields uh Little Falls East Handover Paripony Cedar Grove two fields have been very fortunate enough to have those fields added and rain or shine they play
their games and if there's rain out they can or if there is rain where there's delay they can immediately get back on those fields with over 55 teams in our in our our league this year when we have rain out shuts down everything now I'm
not looking to I'm not here today with a can in my hand looking for money but I want do want to bring it to your attention um I know it has been in the budget in the past i understand there are priorities and you guys do manage that budget totally respect that process
um but it is something that I will continue to be here i made a pledge to the community in a recent general membership meeting that this is something that I would like to pursue with the town and partner with the town in order to do so u for those of you who don't know
uh we did get initial prices to implement a just turf infield at Washington Park 1 we received a price in 2023 which I think Mr bro you may have seen or when we initially had a discussion of $230,000 for just field i understand
that that is a hefty number i do also recognize that Hillview has been discussed as a location for turf but Hillview turf would probably be 10 times the number we're requesting for uh Washington Park one um I would ask that
you consider this as as well there's many different factors our DPW is at Washington Park probably every single day lining those fields the time saved on weekends on weekdays and weekends and overtime could ultimately result in some financial gain back to the town if this
investment is made uh in comparison to other sports organizations in this town Little League has made significant commitments to this town council with our manager to make capital improvements to our facility not only do they benefit our league there are town they benefit
the town's ability to rent our fields in the last 7 years since I've been on the board and with other members of our organization Clark has invested over $100,000 of our own money and have never come to this council with our handout
expecting a dime for any projects that we have we've presented our ideas and gotten your approval um but just for instance new dugout last year Washington Park 3 cost $52,000 and that was at a discounted rate that we were lucky to work with the
contractor uh new schoolboard Washington Park 3 $14,000 total of just under $66,000 for that field alone uh new turf batting cage about 4 years ago $18,000 reinfor reinforcing the structure of that
batting cage $7,000 new school board in Washington Park to $11,000 and there are many more upgrades but I think you get the picture um like I said I'm not not looking here to say our facilities aren't good but I am looking to help
leave a legacy and I think that our kids deserve that luxury um you know like I said we have 500 kids in this town you all know this town you've all lived in this town for quite a long you know quite some time and now maybe even have grandkids in this town so we're not just
servicing 500 kids we're servicing grandparents we're servicing parents and to go to other facilities and play and see your child play on these turf complexes their eyes light up it's the
greatest thing they'll ever do and I would like to continue to pursue that so you can expect to see me a lot more in your meetings here um and I hope to partner with you guys so that we can continue to keep this in the budget i know that you know Miss Lynch I read on
on your profile you know we've invested in our parks and you hope to continue to do so washington Park is park in our town so um I know it's a recreational park and it's but I also do know that this council hasn't recently invested in pickle ball court soccer nets and
basketball court you know of significant value so I hope that you would consider our proposal and uh if you have any questions for me I think some of you already have my phone number i'd be happy to answer any of them so I thank you for your time thank you before you go uh I know we're not supposed to ask
questions did you say you got a price we got a price about 2 years ago probably outdated with inflation um but uh we could certainly pursue what was that price $230,000 the first The first as you know with turf comes with drainage digging up
digging up the facility curbs um it's a little bit more involved replacement as you know from the high school a little less involved you rip up turf but do turf down so uh thank you appreciate your time thank you so much anyone else for public comment yes sir
come on up good evening good evening john Vinus from Willwood Parkway um my wife and I are here tonight seeking some some guidance and and hopefully some help from you with a problem on Will Parkway that being the
traffic people travel much too fast on Willoo Parkway there's no posted speed limit so we assume that the state laws that it's 25 by default wiloo Parkway as you know is a divided highway and I say highway
because it is somewhat of a highway is 14 ft wide in comparison Franklin Avenue which has the same speed limit is 24 ft wide so you have a very narrow roadway you have garbage cans on one side you have people parking on both sides you
have the middle island lined with trees and shrubs so you don't get a lot of time to react to a child or a dog walker or a biker coming off the island so um our population first of all there's no
sign there is no sign at all as far as speed limit goes our population is very is very varied we have a lot of elderly people on the street now we have one gentleman who's disabled and and rides around in one of those motorized buggies we have a whole bunch of kids the the neighborhood is starting to change over
um and as I said we have a lot of dog walkers it seems to be a favorite spot for people to walk their dogs so again our suggestion would be a 20 mph speed limit posted um and a speed
bump at the at the very end of Willoo before you go into the culde-sac because that's where people seem to realize that they don't have a way to get into get to the boulevard and then they speed up make the loop and get back out because they're frustrated that that's not a cut
through street so those are our suggestions i mentioned the speed bump suggestion to um to Mr russo and he shut it down without I mean it was it was borderline arrogant the way
he came across that i can tell you right now your chances of getting a speed bump are zero nil niche it's not going to happen which is a little bit takes you back a little bit when you're a township resident for 40 years 40 years and you
kind of think that you know it's a small town you may be able to to talk to somebody and you get that kind of a reaction so again I I recognize this isn't an exchange tonight but I'd like you to take into consideration some things that you can do for Ru Parkway
before somebody gets hurt and it it's it's going to happen so thank you for your time yeah I appreciate it the only and like you said there's no back and forth but maybe we can talk about those signs like we've put around town or the fact that's actually a dead end and
there's no dead end sign technically that's true but maybe we can look at um you know one of those signs like drive like your kids live here I think there are some of that signage is there um but I think the the biggest thing you could do for us would be to
drop the speed limit to 20 mph and post it at 20 mph cuz there's no posting at all but post it at 20 m an hour that would be huge and then the the potential of a speed bump um you know toward the end of the road just to just to slow people down so thank you thank you thank
you anyone else for public comment on this round yes come on up [Music] thank you Mr mayor paul Mailer I'd like to read an open letter to my neighbors if I
may there was a time in my life that I voted for Ronald Reagan both Bushes and even Chris Christie once i came to challenge my conservative viewpoints witnessing my Fortune 500 corporation engage in repeated layoffs
discontinued pensions and ongoing cutbacks to health benefits all of those actions were spurred not by business necessity but by the Wall Street demand for short-term bottomline growth every quarter of every year i worked hard
earned a vice presidency but I came to realize that those who followed me would work in an increasingly uneasy environment nothing I observed however compares to the sheer brutality and mental anguish brought upon federal workers under Elon
Musk's Doge or Russell vaults office of management budget while Musk's authoritarian tyranny gets much of the attention votes reign of terror goes largely on notice here's how vote speaks of Americans like you and me who happen
to be part of the federal workforce and I'll quote from him we want them to be traumatically affected when they wake up in the morning we want them to not want to go to work we want to put them in trauma end
quote regardless your take on federal inefficiency is this really the government that we want neither Musk nor Vote concern themselves with a worker's performance or their dedication to good governance they lump all into a pot of
their unfettered disdain without a care for the intense anxiety opposed upon thousands of American families if you stand with them you must also admit to yourself that you share in their evident brutality if you stand
against them the time to stand up is now thank you thank you thank you anybody else for public comment um seeing none um we're going to close this session mr brew would you like can we say anything about the um the Wolveroo oh by the way Matt thank
you for what you're doing for Little League i know it's hard i know it's parents but thank you for what you did i did it many many moons ago and um yeah I remember cuz we put up the batting cages back when I was there so redid we did a bunch of stuff so I know Little League spends a lot of money and we thank them
for for for that so definitely take take that under consideration with the parks um you have any comments on that or the parkway request well just a great partner to work with and I look forward to the union working with Mr ringan and the rest of the team and as the year moves on we'll talk about updating the
budget and seeing what we can do for a request typically they're due in October so now's the time to start the conversation kind of get the numbers together um with respect to Uber Parkway I'm going to follow up with Mr vinus tomorrow and have a conversation about you know what can and can't happen i think one of the biggest issue is a lack
of data um I know you have observation but I think some empirical information would also be helpful so we can get some counts and some speeds and try to figure out what's happening with a hidden box uh that's less obtrusive than the big thing so I I think there's definitely some work that we can do but I want to
gather some data first and then we can explore options but I'll reach out to you tomorrow about Okay okay thank you thank you all right moving on to item number eight the manager's report mr ber please call Mr bus so I don't forget
between now and tomorrow um thank you mayor this evening for the council consideration we have an order to establish preserve cap bank which we talked about a little bit uh also there's a number of uh concession resolutions scheduled for potential
authorization that pertain to the late night Tuesday food trucks in front of the municipal building the concession provider for various parks and recreation events and the concession operator at Park Lake um it seems like somewhat of an arduous process but the local public contracts law requires it
so we do what we need to do to supply continue to deliver uh some fun stuff for the community and uh I credit the council with making the change to the concession operator of PD Park that continues to work uh lastly there is also a resolution for the council's
consideration to amend the professional services agreement with H2M for the professional services associated with the PAS remediation project at Wells numbers one and two um it's a lot to chew on as the council calls for our discussions the township is making
application to the New Jersey I Bank for funding for this the benefit of applying to I bank of our 50% of the total is at uh no interest the second percent of the total is at the I bank's lower interest and based upon the timing you have up to
uh $3 million potentially of principal forgiveness and sometimes $1 million so there's no guarantee in what the prevent the principal forgiveness is but there's a beneficial interest rate and the potential for for uh principal forgiveness which is what drove the decision to participate with I bank uh
the challenge is they have a lot of requirements one of which is 100% inspection and when you have 100% inspection by a professional it's it's not inexpensive uh as a component of the New Jersey I bank process we're not allowed to go out to bid until they give us a green light they've reviewed all
our documents everything is in quue uh this is if if this is approved this has to be uploaded to the IBN portal and the hope is after this is done they will give us the approval to to go out to bid uh as further discussed the goal was to have the bids uh opened and potentially
available for award in July because the fiscal year starts on July 1st for the I bank so we'd like to be first in line for principal forgiveness so we've tried to keep this up to use as much uh external money as
possible to save the rate payers so it's it's a lot to chew on but again it's something that's that's required if you want to continue with the I bank process unless there's any questions that is my report good thank you Mr brewer any questions from council

next to a uh a woman from Lawrenceville and she said "Oh is this your first year on council?" I said "No it's my 13th year." She says "Well I thought this was for newly elected officials." and my response was if I learn one thing in this class it's worth coming down so she
was uh she was glad that uh it was not just for newly elected officials um also congratulations to Al Axel King for uh joining the fire department as a junior firefighter uh congratulations and thank
you uh for wanting to get involved and and that's all I have thank you Mr mayor thank you Councilwoman Russell um not a lot uh first aid is having a pasta and trivia night on Saturday April 5th it's going to be at the hall and it's right
in the back here and it's $50 per person and it's just one of their many fundraisers that they're doing um also preservation uh trust is meeting Thursday we're going to finalize
um the the leg the legalities for the question that's going on the ballot in November to be able to use open space monies um for stewardship so that might be something that we could apply for a grant for um going after it from the county open space money because what
they're saying is there's not a lot of open space and they have all this money they've been collecting so there it's going to vote whether that money can be used towards stewardship by different people in the counties and it's there's going to be two different questions but that would be something that I think we
could keep an eye on because that's definitely good stewardship of our parks so that would be interesting um and other than that I don't have anything else i was sick so I missed a lot of pre-committee meetings i was out for about 4 weeks wow good to have you back
i'm almost 100% but takes a while it really kicks your butt mr mayor there's one thing that I for sure i got a flyer today from the high school wrestling team they are having a fundraiser tomorrow at uh Jersey Mike's in the Stop
and Shop shopping center so if you do go just mention the high school wrestling team I think they get 25% of the proceeds so okay jersey Mike or the Lincoln Park just jersey mics i was I was surprised to see that cuz Yeah lately I've been seeing a
park always yeah but it's this one about the place okay thank you Councilman Sus good evening sorry about the weather um just last meeting um yeah good meeting on

that was so that was nice this school was able to put that on um congratulations to Alex King on the fire department that's awesome um the other thing I wrote down Oh the DPW with cleaning the roads we've had a lot of snow this year we haven't had this much snow in a long time so I I thank them for keeping everything clean
and open so we can get around and um that's pretty much all I got even the the first aid made a comment about that at their meeting that they were very impressed with the way the DPW got these boots cleaned and ready to use so they wanted to give them a shout out also so sorry Mr i got one other thing listen
your time is up Cole i got a text message this morning that uh Casey Bagels is participating in the game on Gavin uh that's Gavin Brady that uh his cancer is back he had a a very early uh leukemia and now it's back he's
a freshman in high school so this Saturday Feb uh I'm sorry this Friday February 28th uh KC Bagels will have orange bagels to support leukemia and he will get 30% of the proceeds so if you're interested in a bagel stop by
Casey's Bagels and get an orange bagel get an orange bagel bagel all right thank you thank you um next on the agenda is public comment as a reminder we welcome comments suggestions and questions rather than dialogue and comments are limited to three minutes please if anyone wishes to address the council please wait to be recognized to
come to the microphone and provide your name for the record sorry sure so uh Matt ring again sorry um one thing I forgot to when I came back up we are having uh little league opening day
with the parade uh April 26th uh that'll be the official opening day the league will start for some games before then just cuz of schedule and where spring break falls but uh would love to obviously invite you guys again uh we'll follow up with the formal email
um but uh would appreciate your attendance and as for the stewardship um item and open space obviously say Mars County their open spaces are different with recreation and land I think is where uh what I've seen with Mars
County's open space but I did see that Mars County does allow for open space grants for what is considered a pathway right so the pathway down Washington Park from the snack stand down to Washington 3 over over the years has
taken a beating just between electric snow trucks coming through there so I don't know even if they decline it for a park or for a field if we can maybe pursue it for that pathway um last year I think me and Mr brewer or
maybe Mr spano um our former president uh spoke to Mr crew when they're paving what was that jeff Jefferson yeah right right behind the church yeah we talked about if there was any leftover asphalt if they could perhaps swing by and kind of drop some but I think that wasn't the
case um you know that is something we're going to look to because long run we do want to put a structure behind uh field 3 of some capacity and we'll have to run electric down there um so ultimately we may do it in the near future anyways but
if for whatever reason they deny it and say it's not a can't be a recreational facility that might be an avenue where if some funds can be allotted to it that would be appreciated so thank you yep thank you thank you anyone else there's somebody behind the
post over there come on up my name is Mary K sherman um I want to stand in solidarity with Paul Mer's statement as a Puquanic Township resident and um I'm wearing yellow and
blue in honor of Ukraine and Ukraine was invaded by Russia and Zalinski is not a dictator putin of Russia is a dictator um my next uh they're questions
um so I know there's not dialogue but sometimes I'll ask a question and then get answers after I finish my question um my first question is um I had asked last year sometime about
what is the role of council um in once a person is council appoints a person to different committees commissions board of trustees and then what is the role of council in terms of their problems with
that per particular person in the role of a leazison or something like that and then is there a code of ethics written down for the people who are on the council or how does that work has it
been written down so um and then my other question would be I know John and and um Adam have talked about talking about something for Barbara Musio for the library and I don't know if that discussion has taken place yet or not
thank you very much all right thank you thank you any other comments seeing none we'll close the um the public comment uh portion um uh Mr brewer any comments mayor start with you i'm going to punt to the attorney okay punt to the
attorney first well the one question that there is an answer to is whether or not there is a code of ethics that governs the governing body there's a code of ethics that govern all local government employees it's not local it's through the state of New Jersey so we do
have a New Jersey state uh code of ethics for local government officials um and that is um again not just unique to council people that would be to all all of us got myself included all government employees are subject to that um so I I
needed to add that to it in terms of the um Barbara Muslio thing I don't know what that's all about yeah I'll defer to John just to amplify what Mr said it's it's referred to as the local government ethics law if you're googling that would be the Google thing to find this page of
of information okay mr mayor before you move on I hate to do this because I know we already did reports but can I say I'd be remissed if I didn't mention one thing that I should have mentioned before am I allowed to mention it uh we lost another firefighter in town a longtime resident
Charles Pulka he was 96 years old and I attended his um wake on Friday but he was a longtime member of Quonic Fire Company too and I just wanted to um you know say that you know our thoughts and prayers are with his family at all thank
you thank you that was that was important thank thank you for your service um next on the agenda is minutes for approval so we have the January 28th 2025 regular meeting i cannot vote on that and then the February 5th 2025
