explain to the council? >> This is in a position that you all already know exists for the past two years. What failed was that it wasn't put in the organizational structure by ordinance. However, you all have already approved it two years ago to add it to
the salary ordinance. So, what happens is to make sure we cross our tees and dot our eyes, we're putting on the organizational structure. But this position will be open next year. So to be proactive, we're advertising it and
it's on our website so that you all can start or administration can start the process of the selection and hiring to put someone in this title before the opening. Well, by the opening occurs >> by December 5th, which is private. That's >> No, that's just accepting the

>> It's creating something that should be there. It should be there and because it wasn't there previously, this is just codifying it properly. That's basically it in a nutshell. >> They're not. It's still civil service is
already it's it's already existing. It's you know it's just >> but nobody once said the job is already posted. That's what I was asking. >> Oh. >> Oh, I should Why is the job posted then? >> Well, see last week you didn't inquire about the person. You all just inquired. Was it

>> um, the think inc uh custom screen, was that a city sponsored wall? No, this is actually uh we have the statements that came in. This is an an event that was through the recreation
center that did some fundraising and we still have to uh put the money towards this and reclassify but we had to make the payment >> sponsors that money was given to us and then just paid. So the money from what they made is going to go to
>> pay going back to the the situation with the home. >> Yes. >> Uh at one time we used to have people in public works that were trained and certified to abate those kinds of problems. you know, well,

there's no insurance for our um Adams. That I do not know but I can ask. >> Ask what what was wrong that the surgery was so high? >> I don't know. I don't know. This um came
in um not even 10 days ago, right before I left. So, we had to get this the dog um fixed, I guess. um not big but uh get
the surgery done whenever required for the canine union. >> That's a high amount for surgery. >> Excuse me. >> It's a high amount for surgery >> that um to it it actually started at
over $8,000. >> It started at 8,000. >> What is it? >> Well, let me rephrase it. is a high amount for surgery plus not to know what was >> what was done that that it could be in
the details of of the um of the purchase order. However, we may not even have yet the the final invoice in and that will tell everything that's on there. This is just preparing the items so when it does
come in that we're able to pay it once the invoice comes in. Why are we approving the bill with no? >> Well, apparently from from the practices that has been there, this is the way it's always >> No, that's going to stop. >> Yeah,
>> that's got to stop the way it's always been. Oh, how can we >> You're not being fair to not you, but whoever's sending the bill to you. Mhm. >> Uh somebody has to let us give us some information upon which we make decisions. >> So,
>> and the decision was made by somebody >> to either put that dollar down >> or spend $8,000 or $6,000. And that's a policy decision and that needs to be made up the chain, not down the chain. I'm not
>> understood. But you know, how come we don't have department heads and needs more? >> If if I may answer these questions. >> No, no, it's it's okay. >> So we so we don't
come across the street and so we >> need to start coming across before this decision made and that that's in your house. >> Can you find out about this and let us know? >> Absolutely. >> We'll get you the details on it. And this is what happened. We had a cut off
for requisitioning of November the 15th. And so they got this in that in fear of they >> this says November 24th. >> That's okay because they must have done it then last week because we had a cuto
off date of the 15th. And when this was brought to my attention, I said, I need a purchase order issued or something in place before the end of the year because I'm going to start moving monies around from one fund to another. So, this is
why it was done and it could have been done uh the requisition could have an earlier date of the purchase order. >> Well, if you recall, Mr. about us. We did have this conversation in our P&D meeting uh in reference to the dog and that's where the whole conversation I'm
sorry in >> but we didn't talk about these numbers. >> Yeah. >> We said 8,000. >> Oh 8,000. >> Yeah, we said 8,000 was the number in that meeting. >> Um we did have this discussion in >> that's why I said >> some other kind of decisions need to be made
>> cuz I'm I'm a pet person. I've had many dogs and I know surgery is expensive, >> right? But I ain't never had a dog that I love that much on spending $8,000. >> Oh, well that's very common. That is very common. That's not >> But this the people's money
for pet insurance may not be a bad option. >> Yeah, pet care. You can get >> But that goes to the same thing about the uh t-shirts. That's comingling of funds. If this wasn't a city sponsored event, this was an outside event for a
scholarship fund. Yet we bought t-shirts. >> Oh, this is the Ralph Peterson >> scholarship fund. >> Well, >> not sponsored by the city, >> right? >> It was not sponsored by the city. >> Let me just explain. The city was not sponsoring it, meaning we didn't put up
the money. >> We did. You put up $900 worth of t-shirt. You did. You just explained we did donations. >> That's the money that they they got donations for that money. Then the donations came into our rec account and we paid for the shirts. Why didn't they go get their own t-shirts?
>> Normally, normally that would go through account. We did not have that. >> That would go through where >> the pet account. >> Well, I didn't go through the pepp. >> Why? Well, well, listen. Listen. So, this goes back to when we have events,
it need to go through the proper channel so we won't have >> And it never came before the rep committee. >> No, it did not. >> It did not. >> It did not. because I questioned it the day that the announcement came out, the flyer came out and I asked if it had been approved and I was told it didn't
need approval because it was a standard operating procedure. But see, when you don't go through the process the right way, this is the kind of stuff that happens. So, so
you and I had a conversation about that. So in the future, we just need every event to go through the proper channel. >> That's good. >> Anybody have anything else for um M?
>> Well, since was brought up, >> we we need to look at that PEP account and its affiliation in the city. >> Yes. >> Cuz because I think that may be part of the problem. >> You know what I'm saying? We need to look at
shouldn't be I think it shouldn't be tied to the city. I think it is. >> I understand why. >> I don't think it is. >> I understand the history. >> I understand why. >> So So if we can when we have our finance committee if you can bring that
information to the commission. >> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. Council members, you have open discussion. >> May I have a motion to close the work session? >> Motion. >> Have a second. >> Second.

>> Good evening. >> Good evening. I just wanted to share uh the holiday season and progress with all the group of companies uh and our school ideal is doing activity incredible work. So we
started couple years back with the expansion of 1000 West Washington Avenue. Our final site plan approval process uh is with the city. Once uh that's approved uh we will build the two whatever the the planning uh board
approved the expansion of it. We're ready to build. We have a funding in place. Uh we're also uh moving along with our city center project. I think the demolition bid was there. Uh we're working on and waiting on a UE to get
back. Uh and uh our attorney created a agreement also that include we will take a responsibility of paving the city parking lot uh and that the blank spot for the demo of the building is empty
right now. We will build the parking lot uh for the city there as well. part of the uh of our agreement. Also, uh the only portion of the that intersection of a main street and Washington Avenue is
now is not uh up to the par that we like to see in a plaza is a two north main street. I can share that building is under contract with our one of the investor group and uh we hope at ideal to have it uh employee own uh apartments
there. We're not changing anything. We're just rehabbing. Uh same way the stores in a bottom uh apartments in up. But I would love to have our employees to be a city residents as well. So it's not it's market rate uh that's more
available for the city and uh uh I just wanted to share and I wanted to appreciate uh city's commitment uh to helping our businesses. So I just wanted to say thank you. >> Thank you. >> Well, thank you. Next we have Mr. Eduerary.
>> I've been living in this city for almost 38 38 years going to 39 and I pro my license since uh I would say 44 years. never have a teeth.
Um, couple weeks ago, I walked out of my house. I went out and do my thing. Came back home. I bought my car from my house. I believe at the end of the street. 5 days later, I got a ticket on mail for
parking. I'm not the only one. The reason I don't I don't mind. According to the ticket is I won't pay the ticket. But the reason I come here I'm not the only one parked that way on the street complete street side complete street and
I hope watches street in the city I haven't seen any get a ticket so >> Mr. And what was the ticket for? Parking the wrong way. >> Wrong way. At the end of the street and the last house on the block is no floor.
That's a dead end street. So you know I was connected. But on that street I count 14 car. They park in a daily basis the same way either on that side or on that side.
>> No them to get a ticket. So I say they won't get a ticket cuz right now we have 25th 21st >> Avenue >> 21st and that was in 19 to now the car still parking the same way. So that mean those people never got
a ticket for parking on their own way. Only myself that mean no big deal to me. I will pay the ticket. I got a call cuz I already called for it and they say they didn't have the ticket yet. So supposed to call this week. I will pay the ticket
to you know um technically it's right. I was parking the wrong side of the street in front of my house. for payment. You know, I don't know why I got a ticket in the mail. I could have had it in the wind show. We'll tell you in a month.
Now, the thing is, you got sick. They take the time to get tickets, parking tickets, but they don't have time to monitor the speed on the parking lot. That's they going on
how long it's getting any better. There being accidents and there left and right you never see a cop there park waiting I never seen so far I haven't seen guarantee they didn't have a ticket on the boulevard for speeding on the whole month
I guarantee they don't know thing is I get tired from a little issue about the trash I mean I'm getting tired picking up trash every every week I've been seeing neighbors put in trash on Monday.
Trash bags on the side of the street. I see cat turn that trash end up on my yard cuz I live at the end of the street. So every day I have to be a track. I had never seen that before. In the last couple years it get worse even worse.
It's a simple a simple issue that can be fixed before it become a big problem because the main street look nice cleaned up but you go on the sides of the side streets it starts all over the place for the same reason people
day >> which street been then another thing back in March I did come to the school office and they complain about dirt was dumped behind my house and you know about it
still today I had no idea and the reason I did complain it was a nail before I've been living there for 38 years when Hansen had the place right there so that come out of nowhere nobody want to
There's no way of telling who left the dirt. >> When I did the complaint, I did a complaint with a company that came there and the company that was there doing it. It's nobody there before that. So the people of the company moved in
and it basically obviously is a landscaping the group which been piled up then and summer at the end of the summer they come in with a big doses and pile it up more now it's all over the place on the yard. Do you have the name
of the >> Kelly? Landscaping and construction. >> Thank you. >> And um another thing that I have >> Mr. Ed um I'll talk to you after the
meeting, but um your three minutes is up. >> I mean I don't I don't say this something I concern about it because I don't have a sea water. I got what I don't know what kind of dirt is back then and too close to my house. No, too
far away from my house. >> Okay. >> And obviously I mean it's not a little pile. It's a big pile of dirt that would pile up in this year from the beginning to the end this I mean to now. Now it's all grass whatever.
>> Okay. I'll talk to you at the meeting. Okay. I the guy came in one day to the to the office to do the complaint. Never called me back. No, he didn't ask for. Okay. Then I came back and I talked to him and talk to him about it and they take a
picture of it. >> Okay. >> And question maybe I missed the last meeting. What's the deal with the stop sign in Ba? You said, "Well, last time I heard it was a poop. It's going to be in there."
>> So, >> so I can tell you about this the stop sign that I thought they would be in by now. Um, excuse me. We talked about we were waiting, I understand, to get money for the grants. might help me if you can assume this money uh for grants to get
money for the signs and it was supposed to be coming in because we're doing the grant with the police department. >> Now, Miss Nume, you weren't on the last meeting, right? >> What I can share on that is that the one on um >> right the four-way stops that we're getting with the Labor.
>> Yes, the with the LED. We already um have uh the vendor that is supposed to be um putting all all of those signs and nuts and bolts and aluminum. I don't know all the components to it. So, we're working with the vendor >> and the street
>> and the street it's a host get out of the street in the street and there stop sign get out of the street. I mean take a chance go and get I mean people going there 35 miles it's 25 miles some 35 60
plus >> and you get a chance you got to wait for that guy to come in it's stuff far away you think he's far away that's when you come on he's right there >> and I have people passing me in the wood >> no I understand >> so understand >> Mr. So,
>> but I do want to say to you that if you see if you first excuse my voice, but if you first see just regular stop signs, that's going to be there until we uh do the um until we do the striping. We can't put down the LEDs,
>> so I don't know first. They're going to be they're coming to know that. >> Hi, thank you. >> Thank you. >> Next, we have Franklin Gomez. Good evening. >> Good evening. >> Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
Um, and hopefully you'll remember me from a couple weeks ago. I have my nonprofit Park Legacy Project. Uh, be real brief. Uh, so this month, uh, we're working with, um, some of you may know him, Jonathan with Espan.
Uh he does like uh he prepares war meals Monday through Friday in the evenings um in the old turn pike. Um just want to let the council know that I'll also be there helping him out. I'll since my nonprofit focuses on water uh I'll be
also distributing water alongside him while he's prepping meals. Maybe I'll try and make a meal or two. I'm not the best cook but uh but I'll definitely be there. Um um so then you know so then he has the support he needs. Um I know me
and him were talking yesterday. Um it would be great if you know any of you would like to always swing by just to see what we're doing, the work we're doing. Uh just so you have a sense of it and maybe you'all have any constituents that maybe need that resource. It's available to them. You know, guy knows
how to cook. So um but it's definitely there. Um, also just something that I'm asking for the city, the council, and as mayor. If you guys, as you may know, like I said last time I spoke here, um, I'm pretty new to having a nonprofit.
You know, I'm very, pretty inexperienced. If any of you guys know anything in regards to applying for grants, if the city of Pleasible has grants for nonprofits or any sort of resources or aids who I can talk to uh to make my organization more sustainable
because as much as donations are great, they're not sustainable. Not not for the long term. Um so any of y'all by any chance at all, you know, looking to reach out to regards to that. I've spoken to a few people already, but you know, the more the better. So, you know,
um if any of you ever received my business cards from last time, I think I got a few more here with me today. Um >> Mayor M. But yeah, that's that's all I got for you guys. >> I appreciate your time.
>> Thank you, Franklin. Yes, sir. >> You have Mr. Santosa. Good evening. Um like my neighbor they was saying about the police
the state that they've been doing you know what you should to be doing is it look to me you know that they go to the uh and I'm going to say this because you know it happened years ago to me
I was running a petition against the gas company to purify the the area the front of the gas company. the administrator because at that time what he did deal with the situation has as as everybody
sign you know that petition you know got the right you know to ask for something you know to beautify you know the the city especially people they own you know the house instead they hit you with the problem he
go you know around the area looking anything that the NATO have wrong so he can go against you know and he was talking you know that day you know with the president or the of the guys and I have to stop him
now he say you know that he get a ticket you know because um his car was parked on the in because you know it's it's no more road after that you know he get a ticket Right. And it's many car that he say you know
parking you know the wrong way. I have my van parked next to my house few months ago. The police not even knocked my door to let me know then I need to move my bed.
Okay. And on top of that, the recreation of the cities, you know, they supposed to put a sticker for 48 hours for you to move, you know, the car. They don't even do that. They just stole the car, right? I have to pay for for the to $140 something.
Okay. Not too long. No, not you know, uh, it was a guy across from that from from where my parked on a on a pump on a fire pump. I call the police couple of time.
I have video. I think he go to his house and get the guy to move the car. Not the first night. The first night he let him go. I said, "You don't want to give your ticket?" "No." "You don't want to talk the car?" "No." So I was playing to them you know I
think they was parking I from there you know and they take them you know now few meetings back I wasn't here I don't know if you remember you asked me for my phone
number so the administrator don't call me by the amount of people they live on on some of the houses in Charlie Avenue I still waiting for that never happen,

My house is facing Franklin Boulevard. I can tell you about Franklin Boulevard day and night. You got people you know driving car you know so loud if you sleeping laying night time. you can you you know you have to wake up you know to see what happened because
you know they they don't have a result or I don't know what happened that's day and night I don't see anybody's doing nothing I bet you if you're driving you know on the street you know and do nothing wrong I guess
I mean I said before we will send the cities is bad. I go inside my house, right in my kitchen. I can smell the marijuana inside my house. I've been living there. I build a house

motion >> question. Does anybody have an answer permitted for my question from two months ago? Am I getting an answer tonight about police shift saving all of that? >> So, those matters have been addressed um
in our um public safety meeting. Uh Mr. Vis uh >> uh and myself um and you know, Councilman I think Mr. was in that same meeting. In that meeting, we did get a um a briefing on how um the department
is deployed at present and based on administrative um uh policies and things that they have in place. They feel as though that the the schedule for deployment is fitting. Now, they did give us some explanations
and uh those explanations were found to be valid, but we're looking at alternate ways to possibly um work with the police department to make it. >> Okay. I'm going to need somebody to expand on that. I Cuz what you're saying to me don't make sense.
>> Yeah. So, they they gave us the deployment. They told us exactly how they do it and why they do it. >> Well, tell me. Tell us. >> Well, that's not something I could discuss right here. It's too long. I could It was impossible to to give you all the answ
>> but yeah it was a long meeting for us. So I I can guarantee it's going to be a long meeting for us. >> No problem. That's it. >> Can I add to your >> No, please. Yeah, we we demanded as we have been for some time >> a strategic deployment
uh strategy which they came and and presented to us. Uh I guess it was approximately 10 to 12 pages. Yes. A document is not the kind of document that's generally available to the public for obvious reasons. Uh
they had substantial rationale based on statutory responsibilities of police departments uh as well as uh some uh basis in uh experience and uh uh
historical data. However, uh I don't only speak for me. I can speak for the other C. I didn't agree with all of those explanations. But the other factor that uh kind of binds us right now is that the deployment uh strategy is
incorporated in the uh agreement in the personnel agree the um contract >> the contract. So, uh, we will be examining all of that >> when we start to renegotiate the
contracts, not not only for the police department, but citywide, particularly in areas of public safety. So, uh, I I didn't personally agree with all those those strategies.
Uh, but, uh, my police expertise is a little old. uh it's not as up to-date as the current professionals, but uh we we did crack the egg and uh there is
communication back and forth. Uh to satisfy and give you an explanation of it, I would have to go back uh to get a refresher as professor law enforcement criminal investigation.
So, uh, but, uh, we hear you. We have the same concerns. The concerns expressed by the two gentlemen that spoke before you, we're we're we're intense about it. We've made our concern
known to the police department, the head of police department and we do have what I will call uh amicable amicable communication and if I may add also um we also um have
to realize that the police force is down 20%. >> That's right. So that yeah with that and tow we had to understand that appointment was based on but now look we uh uh I think nine in the academy I'm
sorry eight in the academy we ended up I think we have seven that are um still in >> six >> at six okay six >> um but yeah um so those six will be on and that'll help a lot um but like right now we're down 25%
>> so you're telling me that we paid um all this money for police protection and we can't have none because they got paperwork to do. >> What you telling us? >> I don't think nobody I'm I'm not even talking to you right now.
>> Oh. Oh, wait, wait, wait. >> He He was talking to me >> and he was answering a question. >> Yes. But you're out of order, Miss She's in charge of the meeting. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You're out of order. >> Okay. So if if I asked you that
question, you wouldn't answer it. He answered the question. So now my conversation is with him. Can you can you I mean that's a little crazy to me. >> No, we were talking about one your first question and they weren't even done and
then you went on to something totally different. >> What was different? >> You're talking about paperwork. No one said anything about paperwork. >> You made a reference to administrative duties. That means they inside doing something. That's what that means. And I
want to know how that expla. If we're paying them to keep us safe, how come they not outside keeping us safe? >> So, Miss Renee, what's your second question? >> Well, my second question was or you want me to move on from that to to the next
thing? >> Whatever your question is. My question was, we're paying a lot of money in taxes to police and fire and I believe the fire department is doing their job efficiently. I don't feel the same way about the
police because I do not feel safe. >> Yeah. And if I asked you to tell me, and you keep saying you can't tell me about it. You can't tell me why there's only five police working at night and all the um the the top brass is working in the
daytime. I don't stand where they at. You know, I'm asking you about my safety, my family safety, my grandchildren's safety, and every child in Pleasantville safety. You know, we had a kid hit in the head and raped in broad daylight on the way to school. They just brought in another violent
offender. There's one on Park Avenue. I'm concerned about the kids and myself. >> I think that my question is valid. >> Oh, nobody nobody I don't think anybody's saying that your question is invalid. However, just to give you a peak behind the curtain. Those
administrative duties are not just like paperwork stuff. I'll just give you one peak behind the curtain, but I can't go into most. >> Okay. So five on the street and dirty office >> because it's part of the strategy for the police department to fight crime that like that's their job. One of the
things that they have to do and it's hours and hours of it is there's there's a specific amount of officers that are just dedicated to things like body cam um reviews. Um there's people who have to process these not just tickets but
the you know arrests and so on and so forth. All those things have to be handled. Pierce people will handle specifically evidence. They that one guy, one person, one police officer can't handle all those functions. So those functions are um put on uh a
supervisor and each one of those uh that handles each one of those. >> Okay. So one police officer can't handle that, but it's okay for five police officers to handle all of Pleasantville on any given shift. >> So I can tell you there's an emergency. No, I can tell you this. If there's an
emergency of any kind, there's more to five officers. They will employ way more than five officers and they will be on the spot. I mean, even there's been times where even the chief has to has has responded uh to a call and uh I mean
this this is something that we would have to and I think you guys did have an opportunity to talk to the chief, right, at one of the mayors. >> No, we never got to meet. So I think >> she came >> I know that she was there. >> Okay. >> She came to the second meeting. The
first meeting she did not. >> Okay. So I don't know about who didn't come. I didn't come for a reason. I had a death in my family. I have to keep saying that. >> Okay. She didn't come to the second. >> Okay. >> Yeah. She did. >> To who though?
>> Because from what I'm understanding the comment was made that the people that have the questions aren't even here. So I I didn't hear any answers. Nothing came back to me that any explanations or anything. That's why I'm still asking about it.
That's why I'm still asking about it. And it's very very dark on in Pleasantville and it's exceptionally dark on my street. You understand? So, I am concerned about the safety of the kids, myself, and my
neighbors kids, and the kids that go back and forth to school or get off the bus at night or get on the bus in the dark for that matter. >> So, that's why I'm asking, but I'm not getting an answer that's satisfactory, and I'm not going to go back and forth and beat my head against the wall on
that. So, I'm just let let you know I'm not satisfied with the answer that I received. I think I think it'll be a lot better if you like just give us a minute to get those officers on and then hire the new officers. It'll be a lot better. The only other question I have is um the
last time at the last meeting it was stated I think it was uh Councilman Oglesby that said that they wanted to go to the prosecutor's office and go back five years on these um
these payments. I guess they was trying to find out what the $2 million bond how that was spent what that was for. No. >> So, what was it? >> I mean, I'm not sure what your what the question is, but what you just said is
is not accurate. >> So, so question said that they was going to go to the prosecutor's office and ask them to investigate back five years >> in regard. Yes, he did. Yes, ma'am.
>> Yes, please. >> No, there was a resolution was it was a verbal motion that was made by Councilman Overby um that um the results of the office of the state comproller division of fraud and waste be forwarded
to the county prosecutor's office for further investigation. um that was done as it relates to the two the bonding of the several million dollars from 2023. That is not up for investigation nor was it with the state
comprollers's office. They simply mentioned it as a means by which to show as an example how our seance packages should change which that's also worked on but not there was nothing illegal about that. That was for collective bargain agreement retirees. It all
happened at one time. So the only thing that's at the prosecutor's office is the um the outcome of the report to see whether or not there is a basis for any criminal allegations for the payments that were made. Not the 2 million but
the 83,000. >> Okay. So for one person and the other person >> there's no name as mentioned. There's no name that's mentioned. It's just providing to them the report to see whether or not they want to look further into or to investigate whether or not
there were some um illegality separate from the civil um violations that occurred in the bank. >> Okay. But he did say that
and he did. Next we have Mr. Archie. >> Good evening everyone. How's everybody doing? I was sitting back there looking at Carl. I said call looks different. Is that Carl? Where's the president at?
>> A little glamour shot going on. Okay, cool. Happy. Yes. >> Um I'm coming from the state of the pilot. I went to the league of municipalities and I sat in numerous um workshops relating to the pilot program.
You know, always been involved with the pilot program. I was thinking it wasn't fair and so forth and 30 years was too much and all that good stuff, right? It doesn't have to be. It could be 10 to 30. So, let me read what I got here. Payments from the pilot program are distributed to the municipality
collecting 95% as president of the pilot program of the revenue and the county receives the remaining 5%. Pleasville has 10 pilot programs already in existence each for 30 years. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. We the taxpayers
ask that a fair percent from each pilot program be applied towards lowering property taxes. My studies have seen as possible. Municipalities also benefit by enabling construction in underutilizing areas.
Some municipalities have sufficiently increased overall revenue, allowing for residents to receive reduced property tax rates. are the monies that the um pilot program
is giving to Pleasantville. Pleasville pockets some of the money that money that's pocket the question I will ask but for answer later is out of that money where is it going
now let me read on municipalities enter into pilot agreements must also be vigilant that the working of such arrangements are properly documented and established to ensure compliance. Property owners or developers may be
tempted to identify ways to pay less money required by poverty. Example, use financial mechanisms to artificially reduce construction cost or revenue.
Underpay the value of the property. Understand I'm sorry, understate construction cost. That's why it's so important to have somebody that's knowledgeable of the pilot programs. We we in the very beginning when we first
got involved with pilot by myself and Mr. Tim Jones pilot financial agreement stipulates the developer must conduct an annual audit and I pray that President is getting an annual audit on the pilot programs that
are in existence and if you got one coming up you might need some help. Not saying you got the people you have aren't knowledgeable, but if there's experts that deal with pilot programs, I think it would be pleas to give them a
call. Developers sell municipalities or entry into a pilot when the area is not blighted or in need of redevelopment. developers in an effort to increase their profits which pi which pitch
municipalities that a pilot is needed when in fact the subject property is extremely valuable or high school and maybe even one of the most lucrative development sites in the community
or development high school site in effect abusing the intent and spirit of the pilot legislation to further enrich the developer at the detriment of the municipality because the pilot program benefits the developer. Developer brings the pilot
program package to the city. The city oversees it and determines what they're going to do. The pilot whenever calculating based on construction cost or annual gross revenue often significantly reduces the necessary payments made by the property
owner. Therefore, the developer benefits from the pilot program more than the municipality. Again, what we need experts under and get this who you have might be great, but get the experts to help with the SP program under financial
agreement. There are usual stipul usually stipulations that the developer must conduct an annual audit. I hope it's getting it getting an annual order from those individuals from these previous programs and if you got some coming up
gross revenues and annual financial operations yet some local governments do not have the capacity to conduct thorough examinations of their partners' finances and governor New Jersey legislations has
taken additional steps to support local governments that lack the capacity to fully fully examine real estate deals that incorporate pilots. Is this a slur to President Bill? No. It's all about helping President like I always say,
Madam Mayor, not to tear it down, but help build. I in turn talked to the uh M the organizer of one of the class that I sat in, Mr. Keith um Bella. I called his office, took a look to call his office, asked him, "Would you be interested in
sitting down with Pleasantville?" This guy knows all about programs, benefits for President and maybe even a developer, but we talking about for President Bill. There's so many ways we should be making money. This gentleman said, "Yes, I will sit down with him." He said, "After
Thanksgiving, give my office a call and I will be more than glad if my partners come and sit down and we can talk." Not saying he obligates any money, but hear the man out because I don't know everything. I don't think no one here in
this room knows everything. But it would behoove everyone to reach out to individuals that can help Pleasantville grow. Last time folk mamaro when I asked the question to represent how much money are we getting for the 10 pop programs for
10 years that went by 2 $2.1 million how is that so when I looked at the information to understand it just a quick breakdown you go mad president >> okay >> it says if I use them for an example
just an example I say these pictures of truth annual rent you be these figures supposed to at the annual rent that they charge the people over there. Let's say it comes to $358,000 million or $3,58 million. The pilot
agree might be 10% or 15%. Let's say they did 10%. Then you calculate the pilot amount comes out to 358,000. Now the annual land tax, I don't know what that is, but just from what I have on paperhead is $236,000.
The remaining pilot owe $121,000 from 3 million. That's like a little bit of money that we get. Are there ways that President Bill could have received more money from the power program? Because you might not have
their experts in the power program and it's something I learned from the very beginning when I started going into this stuff. It said that the municipalities should reach out to experts in developing a power pro in a power program for your area because as I read
there's ways sometimes the developers are scrupulous. They take advantage of you. You just don't know. They can add one building and another building into the power program and because you don't know they put our eyes. So, like I said, I'm not here to beat the dead horse, but
just to leave this to madam clerk who does a wonderful job. Maybe she can pass this may copy so council can have this and cuz the phone number is here too. I didn't I didn't have this card for credit. But I'm trying to see Pleas. So, if you
think I'm trying to tear Preso down, that's on you. I want to see Pleas grow. I want to reach out to areas that can help us and not stepping on the mayor's toes. But when they call your office, it's only balls on you. I'm trying to help. It can't be a lot better than what
it is. It can be more profitable for all of us. Just like you build power program like I think it's one down here. Oh, brick. I think the power program coming up down here. When that comes up, that means the property value increased. The land owners next door to it, their value
goes up. When your value goes up, property taxes go up. >> I don't believe they have a power. >> Oh, yes. >> They just have a >> The word abatement they said because we talked about it before, >> and I didn't notice until just recently. The abatement has three phrases.
One is part of program, but they all come under the umbrella of abatement. You have one to five year abatement. You got a pilot program, which is abatement. 10 to 30. See, that's not abatement. And then there's one more. I forget the other one. But it is three and they all fit under the umbrella of the word
abatement. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your time. If you have any questions, I hope I can answer them. If not, I'm saying >> any questions? No. >> Mr. Archie. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Find out if a pilot program is
transferable. >> Is a pilot program transferable? >> Yes. >> Find that out. And can it be split up? Well, only thing in relation to that I seen it was I'm find out. >> I'm I seen you going that that's the one
speaking about if you own a place and you get the pilot program. If you leave and I buy the unit, I can fall into that one in five years. >> I don't I look
>> like you're up. >> Good evening. Um, first I want to say thank you to Mr. Bettis for the comment that you made earlier about the uh person being fined for not doing what they were supposed to
do. And I'm glad that that was brought up because we got a lot of things going on in Pleasantville and the people are doing whatever they want >> and it's nobody policing them. And so then they come before the other boards and they want permits and stuff, but yet
you done built this big old mansion. It's not a real mansion, but you built a big old mansion >> and we lost a lot of revenue >> last month >> and nobody's been fine, but they just paid for a permit. So I'm glad that that's getting some attention and I'm
glad that a lot of these past practices are going to be thrown out the window. So, we got to do stuff in decent and in order. >> And we can be nice about it. >> Exactly. >> We have to be firm. >> Exactly. >> Thank you. >> Yes. And I want to thank you for
bringing that up. My next thing I want to say is the other day around my neighborhood, someone put a bunch of debris up. When I say a bunch, a bunch of debris. So, one of the code enforcement, Trisha,
was coming by she backed up and went to the house. So, whatever reason, I don't know what went by, but the next day there was a truck out there and they was hauling all that stuff away. So, I wanted to say I thank
her for doing her job because a lot of times people say code enforcement aren't doing anything, but I witnessed it that day, which was last week. And so I want to say thank you to her for doing such a beautiful job. Now there's a lot of
stuff that goes on in Pleasantville on the other side that I hear a lot of complaints. They said code enforcement is not doing anything. But I know on the side that I live on, she does a good job. So I'm done with
that. My next thing I'm going to say is I have some questions here. And if you can answer them, by all means. if not food for thought. Did the municipality agree to accept a
percentage of the development revenue or percentage of the project construction cost and at what percent? >> My next question, >> I'm sorry. What project? >> Um, this has to do with the pilot. >> Which one? >> Um, anyone.
>> Any Okay. >> Yeah, anyone. Were there any excessive profits paid to the municipality by the pilot programs? My third question is, may we have copies of the financial agreements for the
previous and most recent pilot programs? The next thing I wanted to know was were any annual audits conducted? May we have copies of it? Was a you know annual audits conducted. Are you aware that not all long-term poly programs
have last 30 years? I mean have to last 30 years. Sorry. >> Is the municipality >> I'm sorry. Repeat that again. >> Okay. It says, are you aware that not all long-term pilot programs have to last 30 years?
And my final question is if the municipality receives 95% from the pilot program, where's that money allocated at? >> It goes into a general fund. It's no accounting report. It just comes in. It
doesn't go to pay school taxes >> or anything. It just comes in and it says, "Okay, now pay >> the $6,000 for the dog to get." >> Okay. >> There's no >> But as as Dale said the county is the title of the
5%. >> Right. >> Okay. So that was some questions that maybe you know we can think about and we can put them into perspective and as the time goes on maybe we can get a little more knowledgeable and more expertise in
these pilot programs >> because these pilot programs the developer are women but we're not women >> and we're paying more and more taxes and they're paying less less less and also
we don't have to give them 30 years. So, and if you can buy a property for $2 million, then you don't need a pilot program. That's just my opinion. So, that's why we need to think and we need to look at and we need to make sure
that the city is not losing and some of that money that they are putting in, maybe we can put it in so we can help lower our taxes. >> You know what I mean? I don't know how Atlantic City doing it, but they got they done loads three times,
right? >> You can't compare to anything else. >> What goes on in line city is >> stays in Atlantic City. >> You cannot compare it because you start out from the first fact that they're subsidized by the state. Why? Cuz state
going to make sure they get their right. So, but but I hear what you're saying and and thanks to your husband, I'm becoming more more powerful power. >> I am too. You think I'm learning I'm learning from him. >> Here's one thing that you have to
remember is that in the city of Pleasantville, we only fund our school district by about 8%. >> Okay? >> Okay. Now, the reason you don't see a lot of pilot programs in other municipalities around here is because
pilots do not pay into the school funding. So, if you go to Egg Harbor Township and you want a pilot, those taxpayers are now on the hook for the
60% of the school taxes that they pay. They don't pay the pilot does not contribute to that school tax. >> So, we're very lucky here, but we're only lucky until somebody comes along and says, "Hey, why are they paying
eight and we're paying 60?" So, we're going to be stuck with these pilots one day and the Piper is going to need to be paid and you're going to be paying. >> Oh, yeah. We already answer your questions answers to your
questions. >> So, >> um before you go, do you mind could you like take a picture of her questions so that >> you can have this? >> And you can make copies and give it to
>> You're welcome. >> And so that's it. That's all I have to say everybody. >> And so everybody, >> thank you very Thank you very much. If there's one item you me mentioned that I will be pursuing. >> Okay. I don't know which one it is, but Okay.
>> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Um, next we have Tracy Brandon. >> Hello. >> My name is Tracy. Tracy Brandon at Clinton. Um
I live over in the street in Pleasantville, New Jersey, and I've lived there for almost 10 or 11 years now. And at 2:00 in the morning, about a week ago, one of the police officers was banging on my door. I also worked for
the Pleasantville district um as a teacher assistant. And he banged on my door at 2:00 in the morning. that my 86 year old mother had just had a seizure attack. So the first thing you you waking somebody up at 2:00 in the morning, you're thinking something's
going on with your family. And so when I opened up the door, I asked him who was it for a police, you know, police. So I said, "Well, what are you knocking on my door for?" He says to me, "You're parked on the street and you need to move your
car." I said, "You woke me up at 2:00 in the morning to tell me I'm parking I'm parked in the street. It's right my house is right here. If you go down Harris Avenue in Pleasantville, New Jersey, it's not a street. It's Harris Avenue.
First of all, there's no parking signs there at all. I've been there for 11 years now. I've never had an officer come through there ever and told me to remove my car at all. I have pictures right here. When you come to where my house is, there's a little bit of uh
cement right there. I took my car and I put put it all up where the grass is because he told me I started to take and have your car towed away. I said, "So, you mean to tell me at 2:00 in the morning you have my my car towed away?"
I said, "It's not in the street, sir." I said, "This is an avenue." And then I told him, I said, "Okay, I'mma park it." And I pulled it up. I came to Pleasantville at 2:00 in the morning. I had to get up. I had to be to work at 7:30 in the morning. When I got here, I
told the police officer that I wanted to take and sign a complaint on the officer that came to my house at 2:00 in the morning, knocking on the door, waking me up. And so he said, "Well, he's not here right now. It's Sergeant so and so." And
I said to him, "Well, I want to sign a complaint on him." And with that being said, he said, "Well, he wants to talk to you." I said, "No, I'm going to talk to him. I want to sign a complaint cuz I want to know, first of all, at 2:00 in the morning, why are you banging on my door telling me to move my car off the
street? It's not a street. There's no parking uh signs there at all." When I took when I came back, I told uh the officer I had to leave. I said, "Because I have to charge up my phone." And I said, I have pictures of it. And
then he told me also, the officer told me also to park my car right there in the lot that's across the street from the South uh Jersey Gas Company on Franklin Boulevard. I told him, "Sir, I will not park my car there. That is the
Pleasantville Cities parking lot." But I said, "But all those cars that's right there and all those vans that's right there, you came all the way around Pleasant Avenue to get to my house that's parked in front of my house and you didn't even go to their houses, anything like that." I said, "No." I
said, "I want to sign a complaint on you." He went all the way over here to give a complaint and he tells me, "I can't find no paper." I told him, I said, "Well, guess what, sir?" I said, "I'll stay right here until the morning until the next shift come." I said because I'm going to sign a complaint on
