acquisition of a new senior bus and partial funding of a new ambulance for the Ramsey Ambulance Corps in the Burrow of Ramsey, Bergen County, New Jersey, and to appropriate the sum of $150,000 to pay the cost thereof. having been brought up for public hearing and all persons interested, having been given an
opportunity to be heard, pass final reading by title, and that said ordinance be adopted, an ordinance of the Burrow of Ramsey, and be it further resolved that the burough clerk, and she hereby is directed to cause a copy of the title of said ordinance, to be published in an official newspaper of the burrow in the manner provided by
law, together with a notice of the date of introduction and adoption of said ordinance. Do we have a second? Yes, Council President Kilman. I second. Okay. Any any comments on this ordinance before we open it up? Um I would you know I would
like to make some comments. Um the uh the new senior bus as discussed at the last meeting our current senior bus at the end of its useful life and needs replacement. Um I and the as a leazison of the seniors worked in conjunction with President Canals and senior coordinator O'Hagen to
identify specifications needed in the vehicle. This group along with Mayor Dylan worked with a local private company to obtain an extremely generous donation of over $70,000 towards the purchase of the new bus, new senior bus. On the um agenda tonight is the public hearing and vote on adoption of
ordinance 092025. Okay, sorry that's it. Um and then the ambulance part again as discussed last meeting, Ramsey Ambulance Corps had has two operating ambulances. One of these has been at the end of its useful life and the Ramsey Ambulance Corps for a number of months has been looking into options for replacement and
had identified a replacement option and recently the Ramsey Ambulance Corps voted to move forward with the replacement plan. This replacement plan has been escalated a little in timing as the second due ambulance recently broke down on a call when transporting to Valley Hospital. The repair of this
ambulance would be approximately $30,000 and given its recent repair record and the fact that it has little remaining useful life, it does not make sense to put money into it. The replacement plan approved by the Ramy Ramsey Ambulance Corps would be to use approximately $300,000 of the RAAC funds to provide
the majority of the cost of the new ambulance with the bureau providing an additional $70,000 to the dealer to fully fund the ambulance purchase. Um, thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. I now will open it up for public hearing. Not seeing anyone in the
audience, anyone on the phone. This is the first call for final consideration of the ordinance, the public hearing portion. This is the second call for public hearing on this ordinance. and a third and final call for ordinance
09-2025. Not seeing or hearing anyone, we will close it. And um Miss Bendian, may we have roll call, please? Councilwoman Fusk, yes. Councilman Gutwer, yes. Councilman Kilman, yes. Councilman Papo, yes.
Councilwoman Poppy, yes. Councilwoman Woods, yes. Thank you all. Um I will talk to the final ordinance of 10 uh ordinance number 10-2025 an ordinance amending and supplementing chapter 2 of the code of
the bureau of Ramsey County of Bergen State of New Jersey to establish section 2-91 entitled municipal buildings restricted areas to safeguard public records containing confidential or exempt information having been brought up for public hearing and all hearings
in and all persons interested having been given an opportunity to be heard past final reading by title and that said ordinance be adopted as an ordinance of the Bureau of Ramsey. And be it further resolved that the burough clerk be and she hereby is directed to
cause a copy of the title of said ordinance to be published in an official newspaper of the bureau in the manner provided by law together with a notice of the date of introduction and adoption of said ordinance. Do I have a second? I'll second it.
Thank you. I have a brief comment about this ordinance. Um, this ordinance is established uh is to establish restricted areas in the municipal building to safeguard public records. This ordinance comes from discussions with our risk manager and joint
insurance fund. Obviously, the bureau and its governing body recognize the importance of the rights guaranteed under the first amendment of the United States Constitution. These rights along with those afforded in the in the New Jersey state constitution are subject to
reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. Burough officials and employees have a responsibility to maintain and safeguard public records that contain confidential information and information that is exempt from disclosure by law. This ordinance allows
the bureau to restrict public access to areas within municipal buildings as necessary to safeguard confidential public records. I will now open it up for a public hearing. That's on ordinance 10 2025. This is the first
call. Second call for public hearing on ordinance 10 2022. And third and final call for ordinance 102025. Not seeing or hearing anyone, we will close the public hearing. Miss Bendy, may we have a roll call, please?
Councilwoman Cusk, yes. Councilman Gutwer, yes. Councilman Kilman, yes. Councilman Pablo, yes. Councilwoman Poppy, yes. Councilwoman Woods, yes. Thank you. Not seeing any appointments, we now turn to consent resolutions and I

approved. We have a special permit request this evening. The 7th annual Ramsey Pride event on May Saturday, May 31st from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on the Ramsey High School Front One. And there are no block party requests this evening. I'll second
that. Thank you very much. May I have roll call, please? Councilwoman Cusk, yes. Councilman Gutwer, yes. Councilman Kilman, yes. Councilman Pompo, yes. Councilwoman Poppy, yes. Councilwoman Woods, yes. All
right. There are no special presentations this evening and we will move right into committee and liaison reports. Once again, I look to Councilman Mike Gler. Uh thank you, Council President Kilman, for my report this evening. for the library board. Uh
643 people attended the April event which included a unicorn day, a grab and go craft event, uh various team programs and uh Sunday concert. Uh the final phase of the meeting room project was completed which included installing and configuring new audiovisisual equipment.
The library is looking into a library speakers consortium which many local libraries offer. These would be virtual events with best-selling authors using pulled resources from various libraries. These are live events with interactive Q&A sessions. The notary service is
being relaunched starting this week. Library is looking to offer additional laptops for its lending program. And lastly, the library has created an informal committee of library staff to explore possibilities for small to medium fundraiser events and opportunities. This is in the
brainstorming phase for now looking to get them kick started in the fall. The recreation commission team snap is being used for scheduling a registration. As mentioned previously, uh fall rec soccer registration will open in later May. I checked today. I didn't see where
registration was available quite yet. Uh the fall uh soccer doesn't start until September. Uh men's and women's softball leagues begin in the month of a began in the month of April. This year's interest in adult pickup soccer as mentioned previously. Summer camp at Finch Park

9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. through November. And just a reminder, this Saturday, the Women's Club of Ramsey is running the heirloom tomato and veggie sale at the Masonic Lodge on May 17th. And you can expect Councilman Gutter to be in attendance for plants as his garden is
prepped and ready to go. Councilman will be here. Lot of rain. Uh lastly, the fifth annual Tommy Strong game to benefit the Tommy Strong Foundation will be played by the 12U baseball teams uh whose members include
friends of resident Tommy Fitzpatrick who died six years ago at the age of six from brain cancer. The game begins um at 5:00 pm at Finch Park uh field number two and that's on May 15th which I believe is
tomorrow. I conclude my report. Thank you, Councilman Bweather. Public safety. Um I have a short report this evening. Currently, the Ramsey Emergency Services Complex project has been undergoing further review and assessment. The challenge is to stay
within feasible budget parameters initially estimated notwithstanding the current rise in inflation and construction costs. When completed, it will be presented to the full mayor and council and the public. Currently, there's no estimated date for this to occur at this time. Once the proposed
plan and bid package is completed and reviewed within the bureau, it will be it will need to be submitted to the state office of controller for their review prior to going out to bid. And that is my update on that. Onward to building planning and zoning.
Councilwoman Jane Woods. Thank you, Council President. Uh my report is short this evening as well. Design design review board meeting scheduled for April 22nd was cancelled. Uh the next design review board meeting will be Tuesday, May 27th. Um assuming

Please let me know if you can be there. It's a Saturday and I think it's going to be around um noon. I'm not I don't have the time yet.
Pardon me. June June 21st, Saturday, June 21st. Um, it's a blast. Uh, the seniors are also forever grateful for the generosity of Mr. and Sarah and the Insah family for their generous contribution towards the new senior bus and they thank the mayor and council for approving the other half of the
expenditure. The best part is that the burrow is not incurring any debt because this comes from budgeted funds out of the burough's capital improvement account. Um the next meeting will be June 12th, Thursday, June 12th. Zoning board of adjustment meeting will meet uh will be May 21st and we will hear two

heartfelt Memorial Day. Yes, I just said that, but we won't meet again until after Memorial Day. Um, may we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

regarding planning board, shade tree commission, and board of public works through the planning board. The meeting for the 6th of May was cancelled. The next meeting will be the 20th of May. The Shade Tree Commission. Ramsey's Shade Tree Commission plays a vital role in maintaining and preserving our
community's trees. With a team of seven members and two alternates appointed by Madame Mayor Dylan, the commission is responsible for advising on landscaping and tree preservation plans as well as ensuring public safety through the care of trees. The Shade Tree Commission last

impact our water supply. H2M, our architectural and engineering firm, is working with the Ramsey Water Department regarding treatment approaches at our well treatment facilities at Arrow Road and at Darlington, Brookfield, North Central, and Spring Street for the lead service line replacement. I think we
might have some conversation about this tonight. The Board of Public Works continues planning and implementing regarding the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protections lead service line replacement legislation. This project requires that all lead service lines served by the water system be
replaced by the year 2031. Thank you very much, Council President Kell. Thank you, Councilwoman Cusk. Now, I'll pass the um listening device to Councilwoman Sarah Fischer

enjoyed the walk around the school um and talking and all of the resources available. So they did a great job with that. They will also be at the Ramsey Farmers Market this Sunday, May 18th with a table. So you can go find out

And that concludes my report. Thank you, Councilman Pablo. And now, Madame Mayor Jer Dylan. Thank you, Council President Kilman. Um, I also want to comment on the stigmafree walk and talk. Despite the
weather, it was a really great event and the committee who put that together. I was amazed by all the work and the attention to detail. They covered every single detail. It was really a wonderful event and they should be recognized for it. I just want to let everybody know
right now it appears that New Jersey Transit Rail is going on strike. It'll be midnight tomorrow night and New Jersey Transit is urging everybody to work from home on Friday because the replacement buses only have 10% of the
capacity of the trains. Um so there's going to be no train service in Ramsey. None. Um nothing on the Bergen main line. So encourage everybody to work from home if they can. Um they are encouraging Assemblyman Al has asked
governor has reached out to governor Murphy to see if he can reach out to President Trump to invoke the Taff Hartley act in order to um have an 80-day cooling off period to prevent the strike from happening. I don't know if that will happen but you know those
those u endeavors are being made right now. saw that. Um, also I want to let everybody know we had a lovely um, event at Varca. Varca is celebrating its 20th anniversary which is amazing, 20 years and they gave a very generous donation
to the police department and to the volunteer fire department. So, I just want to recognize Varka and thank them for their very generous donation um, showing that how much they care about the town, how much the town means to them. And that's all I have. Thank you,
Madam Mayor. Burough administrator, Mr. Bruce Jose. Uh, thank you, Council President. I have some comments tonight on the resolutions and the ordinances for introduction as well as some ordinances potentially for upcoming meetings. Uh, resolution 94
authorizes the purchase of the new senior bus from HA Deart Sun. Uh, as Councilwoman Woods discussed, the burrow received a donation for approximately $70,000 to contribute the cost of purchasing the bus and ordinance 92025
allocated the remaining funding for the purchase from the bureau's capital improvement fund. This resolution authorized the vehicle purchase under the Hunter County Educational Services Commission Cooperative Purchasing Program contract in an amount of
$142,2724. Um, resolution 95 also covered by Councilwoman Woods during the discussion of the ordinance. Uh, talked about the Ramsey Ambulance Cord need for a new replacement ambulance. The total cost of the new ambulance is
$371,328.90. The ambulance corps will be providing 301,328.90 of the funding or approximately 81% and the burrow through ordinance 92025 previously approved tonight will provide the additional 70,000.
The purchase is being made through a source well cooperative purchasing contract with first priority emergency vehicles and the burrow and the ambulance core will be each be issuing separate payments for their portion directly to first priority. Resolution
98 on the agenda tonight amends resolution actually passed last meeting number 90 2025 for the extension of the Northwest Bergen cooperative pricing program. Ramsey is lead agent for the Northwest Bergen Towns, registering for an
extension of its cooperative pricing agreement with the state. In subsequent discussions after last meeting with the state, they've requested an amended resolution that does not include a specific expiration date for the agreement. The state will then uh review the amended resolution and determine the
new expiration date. Uh resolution 99 on the agenda confirms the appointment of Erica Abruiz as our part-time administrative assistant in the burough clerk's office. With the retirement of deputy clerk Richards earlier this year
and the subsequent appointment of Kelly Sylvester as deputy clerk, the burrow has been seeking new part-time administrative assistant. As a result of a thorough search process, Burough Clerk Bendian has recommended the appointment of Erica to the position. We plan to
start her at 20 hours per week and anticipate it could range 20 to 25 hours a week going forward as workload demands. Uh we have two ordinances for introduction tonight. Ordinance 11 amends the burough code to seasonally
prohibit parking on certain streets. This ordinance prohibits street parking 8 a.m. to 6 pm from May 15 through September 15th in three areas. On Shady Side Road from Darlington Avenue to Drum Court. on Drum Court, both sides, and on
Darlington Avenue from Ridge Road or the Mawa Ramsey border to Alita Place. In recent years, we've seen an influx of cars and patrons of Darlington Parking in this area and causing congestions and issues with the residents on these streets. As noted, this ordinance
prohibits the street parking in these areas during this summer park season. We also have ordinance 12 2025 on the agenda for introduction tonight. This is an ordinance to amend chapter 34 of the zoning code to establish a new R5D
Constantine Drive redevelopment zone district. Some of the provisions to note in the ordinance are this new Constantine Drive redevelopment zone district to resoning pertaining to only block 361 lot. The purpose of the R5D
Constantine Drive redevelopment zone district is to create a realistic opportunity for the construction of low and moderate income housing as part of an attractive, highquality, inclusionary, multif family housing development in a suitable portion of the Burough of Ramsey and thereby assist the
burrow in addressing its fair share housing obligation. The designation of this property for the R5D reflects this site's relationship and orientation to the nearby train station, its proximity to the Route 17 corridor, and its sufficient size to accommodate such
development in a manner that will complement the area. The permitted use of the property would be for inclusionary multif family residential development and and the typical accessory uses of this type of development, for example, fences, maintenance equipment, storage
buildings, fitness rooms, all intended used by the residents of the premises. The minimum affordable housing component would be 20% of any units for sale and 15% of any units for rent. The area and bulk requirements are similar to those seen in the R5B zone on the other side
of Route 17 with the same approved unit density per acre as this R5D proposed zone of 20 units. This ordinance has been developed with the burough's planner, Joseph Burgess of Burgess Associates, one of the leading planners in the area. And this ordinance is in
line with the current needs and market conditions for Northwest Bergen County in terms of land use and project development. We do have some I wanted to comment on few things that uh we've been working on and committee is working on uh in terms of near-term future
ordinances. the tennis and pickle ball courts. The bureau plans to introduce an ordinance regarding the tennis pickle ball courts on East Oak Street and the pickle ball courts at Finch Park. The ordinance would codify some of the current operating parameters of the courts, as well as make some revisions inclusive of reducing the usage hours on
weekends for the Oak Street Courts, which are currently 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 7 days a week. codify that certain hours uh would be Ramsey resident priority times at both the Oak Street courts and Finch courts and incorporate some good neighbor courtesy policies
regarding such items as excessive noise, music, language and those kind of things. Um the Ramsey next thing, the Ramsey Board of Public Works has drafted an ordinance regarding lead service lines uh and that they've recommended to the governing body.
Burough and Board of Public Works owns the water service line from the water main up to the curb stop valve at a property. The property owner then owns the line from the curb stop valve into the property. This ordinance will provide an economic
incentive to for residents to replace their portion of the service line if it has been determined to be a lead service line under the statemandated replacement program. Um, another thing we're looking at is the bureau would be updating the current burough code on retirey health insurance
to be more consistent with the current collective bargaining agreements it has negotiated with its unions. Uh, we have a talk about an ordinance regarding a parking ordinance on private property. While the bureau does not have authority per se on private property parking, there are
provisions in state title 39 which would allow for requiring such things as parking within mark stalls etc. to prevent such things as people parking in fire lanes causing fire line fire lane hazards and that kind of thing. Um
we do have uh some bond ordinances potentially coming up. One with the board of public works. Uh the ordinance would include funding for the next phase of the statemandated lead service line replacement scheduled for 2025. uh water mane upgrade on Snyder Avenue
which would also include during the water man replacement any mandated service line replacements on that street and a third component of the funding would be for PAS water treatment design work um for the EPA mandated PAS
remediation uh a bond ordinance for burrow projects would include funding for some burough projects to include the initial phase of upgrade to the burrow's emergency communication network systems and radios as well as a planned upgrade to the
Finch Park basketball and pickle ball courts, including resurfacing and lighting. The Finch Park court funding will be offset with open space grants that we've accumulated over the past couple years, which will pay for approximately 50% of that cost once
they're completed and we are reimbursed. And that would conclude my comments today. Thank you, Mr. Bose. Councelor, any comments? No comments, sir. Thank you. Our burough clerk, Miss Bundian. No, thank you.
And we will move on. Oh, one more time. We'll have introduction of ordinances. and I turn it over to Councilwoman Sarah Fischer Puffy. Thank you, Council President Kilman. This is the introduction of ordinance 11205.
Be it resolved that an ordinance entitled an ordinance amending chapter 7 of the code of the bureau of Ramsey, Bergen County, New Jersey, and more specifically section 714 thereof entitled parking prohibited during
certain hours on certain streets. pass the first reading by title and that said ordinance be further considered for final passage and adoption at a regular meeting of the mayor and council to be held on the 28th day of May 2025 at 7:00
p.m. prevailing time or as soon after as the matter can be reached at the municipal building in said burrow. And be it further resolved that the burough clerk be and she by hereby is instructed to publish an official newspaper of the
burrow in the manner provided by law. A copy of said ordinance together with the notice of introduction thereof and notice when the same will be considered for final passage and adoption. I'll second that. Any further comment on
that, Councilwoman? Um, no. Uh, for administrator Bose, I read um elaborated on on his report. Okay. Thank you. Roll call, please. Councilwoman
Fusk, yes. Councilman Gutwer, yes. Councilman Kilman, yes. Councilman Popp, yes. Councilwoman Poppy, yes. Councilwoman Woods. Yes. And now turn it over to Councilwoman Jane Wood. Okay. I'd like to introduce ordinance

said burrow. And be it further resolved that the burough clerk be and she hereby is instructed to publish in an official newspaper of the burrow in the manner provided by law a copy of said ordinance together with notice of introduction thereof and notice when the same will be considered for final passage and
adoption. Thank you. This is councilwoman. I would like to second. Thank you very much. Any further comment on that council? Uh, no. I think um pro administrator Bose covered everything and thank you very
much, Councilman Kilman. If I could just make sure one additional comment just to note um this ordinance uh after if it's introduced tonight uh needs to be sent to the planning board so they can uh review it if it's consistent with the
manner the master plan and that. So the the vote on adoption and the final reading of the ordinance will not be until June 25th. So it will not be at the next meeting. It'll be June 25th. In the interimm it will go to the planning
board. And I understand they're um with notice of their next meeting that it could be eligible to be on their agenda is June 17th. So that's why it'll be due June 25th. Mayor and council. Thank you, Mr. Ros. May we have roll call, please? Councilwoman Cusk, yes.
