Council member Erin Yes Council President Espinosa Yes And congratulations All right Mayor we have a proclamation for Arbor there sir President if I may whereas trees are vital to the health and well-being of our communities And
whereas neighbor neighborhood trees provide clean air and help prevent soil erosion support diverse wildlife and enhance beauty of our landscapes And whereas trees help mitigate the effects of climate change and by absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing energy costs for our homes and business by providing
shade Whereas Orbday serves as a reminder of the importance of trees in their preservation and sustainable management for present and future generations And whereas the township is known for its numerous beautiful trees which enhance the desiraability of Piscatoway as a community for which we live work and play And Piscataway is
recognized as a tree city USA by Arbor Day Foundation for 38 years now Therefore I Brian Waller the mayor of Piscatoway Township in the county of Middle Sex in the state of New Jersey Dubai recognize April 25th 2025 as Arbor Day Um as an aside note um we're in the
process now of replanting a lot of dead street trees throughout the the community and one of the biggest problems that we're having is with the um the ashbor beetle is really killing a lot of our trees in our municipal parks
Uh it's just devastating Which beetle is that uh it's the ashbor beetle Um so but with that being said I mean public works has been busy taking down these uh dead trees because they're becoming liabilities Um you know we're concerned
that some of these trees would come down and or limbs might hit some folks that are using the parks But it's really disheartening to see all these very mature 70ft trees that are are completely dead And and it's no fault of
us or anything It's just the insects are just doing a number on the trees So no there's really nothing you can What was the the the parasite that we all used to put the tar around the tree for was that a gypsy moth that was a gypsy
moth Nothing nothing to prevent this Okay other other things fortuitous you know like a lot of the oaks are dying and lantern flies I mean you name it I mean it's just we we spent uh well over $600,000 last year alone on taking down
dead trees in the parks and we could easily spend a couple million dollars taking down the dead trees So thank you Mayor Mayor we also have a proclamation for sexual assault awareness month
Paul uh whereas sexual assault awareness month in the observance of denim day highlight the critical importance of addressing and preventing sexual violence including sexual assault sexual harassment and sexual abuse And whereas sexual assault is perva a pervasive crime that affects individuals of all
ages genders and backgrounds leaving lasting physical emotional and psychological impact Whereas sexual violence is an issue of the p public health human rights and social justice requiring collective effort to prevent and respond to devastating consequences
And whereas we must work together to educate our community about what can be done to prevent sexual assault and how to help survivors Whereas those in need of support the Middle Sex County Family Justice Center and Middle Sex County Center of Empowerment are resources
dedicated for providing compassionate assistance to survivors of sexual assault And now therefore I Brian Wallace mayor of township academy in the county of Middle Sex Dubai recognize month of April as sexual assault awareness month and encourage all rents
to observe Denim Day on April 30th a worldwide campaign to raise awareness and highlight the misconceptions surrounding sexual violence And um I want to thank the uh volunteers of our domestic violence team here locally in

necessary Hi Hi Uh my name is Sarah Radford I live at 13 Dunar Avenue And um I want to talk about the property assessments again So uh first I just want to say thank you to Tim Dy Paula Kazerelli and Lisa Stevens
for meeting with me taking the time They really did take the time to explain a lot of things but I still have some questions So the biggest takeaway I think I had from that meeting is that one of the um most important pieces of information about your property that is
needed in order to determine which are going to be your comparable homes to compare to is the style of building In other words do you live in a B level do you live in a Cape Cod and what I would just like to ask is if that information could be incorporated into the large
spreadsheet that is available because that's one col there's a lot of columns in that spreadsheet and that column is nowhere in there So it makes it very difficult for individual people like me then to to I can go in and I can click individually into each property record
and then I can enter that information manually into the spreadsheet And I did that for all the home sales for last year so that I could try to make this comparison But it really shouldn't be that difficult for an individual person to get that information So that's my request would be if if that information
is so important for making those comparisons would be for that information to then be made available to the public in that spreadsheet in a format that's readily accessible and easy for us to to to use So that's my statement and I have a lot more questions I'm going to call Lisa Stevens
and hopefully she'll explain them to me Thank you Thank you Anyone else okay closing to the in closing to the intendee in-person attendees All right Motion to adjurnn Motion Do I
have a second second All in favor i Any opposed meeting adjourned Have a good night
