revised general ordinance of the Burough River edge entitled fees. Also, Ordinance 25-20, an ordinance amending the revised general ordinance of the Burough River Edge, chapter 17 entitled boards, commissions, and committees. Can I have

um amends the legal escrow fee for site plan review of food handler licenses as well as establishes the 200 foot list that the tax assessor provides. And ordinance 25-20 establishes an attendance policy for
meetings in compliance with the Citizenship Service Act. Um, that's a New Jersey statute. As well as implementing an attendance policy for events for volunteers that serve on boards, committees, and commissions. >> Excellent. Is there anybody like to ask
a question or make a comment? >> All right. Seeing none, could I have a motion and second to close to the public on these two ordinances? >> Some second. >> All in favor, please say I. >> I. >> All right. Could I have uh So, could I

Oh no, that's right. Roll call. Instead, we're doing roll call. We were doing it prior years differently, but this uh we've entered into a new practice. So um madame clerk, would you call the role and members can affirm and they can also

>> Exc very very good. All right. Uh new business. Uh let's go to that best practice inventory. Oh, and by the way, I'm not yet used to this. I realized before my mic was off. So if you guys catch me with my mic off, let me please let me know and I'll turn it back on.
Okay. For um the best practices inventory, the state requires all municipal entities to fill out this um a survey of different topics involving purchasing um personnel,
budgeting, um shared services, procurement, ethics, etc., etc. and um that determines whether a municipal uh a municipality receives its final state aid payment. Um this year there were 70
questions. Of those 70 um 50 were scored. The rest were um unscored surveys but just for the state to get an idea of possible future programs or requirements. Um, out of the 50
questions, um, the highest score you could receive is 43.5 and we received 40 out of that. And as long as we received a score of 32 or higher, we receive our final state aid payment.
>> Excellent. Well, well done. >> Okay. Is there any other new business? Is there any old business? Okay. Uh, we're going to open to the public for Oh, we're all here. Beautiful. Okay, we're actually going to
go back to agenda item number seven, presentation, historic preservation commission updates. Uh, the entire commission can pull their chairs forward if they want or they could just have uh, you know, a few representatives. It's up to them. When
you get to the mic, please uh, pull it towards you because I kind of moved it back. Not that one. That one. Yes. Got it. >> Uh, for the record, you need to state your full names and addresses and your role here now tonight.
>> Jim Hookstraight, 402 Windsor Road, uh, historical commission. >> That's it. >> Eric Modell, 178 Bogurt Road, and member of the historic commission, too. >> Excellent. Now, the hand mic, I don't believe, is active. This is the only one that's active, so it's in between the two of you. >> Okay.
>> No, no, we heard you. We're good. All right. So, um, wonderful gentlemen and ladies and all who are present, uh, could you please, uh, you have the floor. >> Well, the last time we met is when we started doing the street signs. >> Yeah.
>> Uh, and >> which I think has been a tremendous success. >> Been successful. We've been watching on YouTube. Uh, and lots of people, I mean, they're not posted public. They're only posted unlisted. So, only views and we can see the views we get. Uh, so the views we get are from people scanning
the stickers and so each I think Bogurt has over a hundred views. Uh, each other street that we've had uh has close to a 100red views. So people are watching. >> Jim, could um just for the public who is not aware of what you're doing, could you just give a very short synopsis of
uh what street sign um uh scans are? So way back I don't know how many years ago they we before I joined the commission they wanted to make um some a little story about where the names of these streets came from. >> Yeah. >> So Eric wrote a script. Uh we went out
and recorded some video. I pieced it together uh posted it on our YouTube channel uh unlisted. So you wouldn't see it unless you scan the QR code that we made stickers of. And we took the stickers and with your permission we put them on uh the street signs of Bogurt
Fifth. What was the other two? >> Howland and Zabriski. >> So we did that about a year ago. Over a year ago. >> Recorded to you. Was that >> right? So this is just giving background to people who are watching video tonight and don't know anything. >> So if you're walking around town Yeah.
If you're walking around town and you see it, you scan it with your phone and you can find out why is it called Bogurt Road? Why is it called Fifth Avenue? Why is it called zabriski? So since then we've done four more vores, tenny, lake view, and reservoir. And we put those
stickers up about couple weeks ago, I guess. Uh and we're already starting to get feedback on that. Um which is all positive. Uh we also have a sticker ready for to put outside of Mary Donahghue's house, longtime resident.
that uh is connected to her um oral history that she did several years ago. >> It's too >> Yes, it was her idea. >> And she was the first female. No, keep going. >> Okay. We also have one for Joe Majeri.
Joe Majeri has the street crossing at Cherry Hill. We had made a tribute video to him after he passed away. And so that was one question that we had. He has a poll there. Uh, but it has ridges to his
to this to the pole itself. So, you could not put the QR code there. However, to the right of that of his pole is like a utility box. We would love to put a sticker on that, but we figured we better ask you first. We don't have jurisdiction of the utility
box. I believe that's PSNG. So, you would have to ask them, and I think they'll probably say no. So, what you could do instead is speak to our superintendent of public works and see if he can't uh attach or weld uh some
sort of metal plaque. Yes, Jason Molita. Some sort of metal plaque that you can then stick it onto. >> So, an attachment to the pole. >> Yes. >> So, don't even bother trying to stick it to the >> Well, you can, but I think you will find >> Yeah. Isn't it the >> long gone before they give you a No.
>> Flashing light for the crosswalk. >> It's the flashing Yeah. the little flashing light for the crosswalk. Maybe it's what'sever right next to it. >> Not the Joe pole, you know, the that honored him because it has RS in it, but the pole that part of the crosswalk >> again, I would just uh talk to our
Jason. Yeah. >> And I'm sure he'll be proactive in figuring out a way to make it effective. >> I will do that. >> Yeah. Um, I should mention Jim was responsible for taking Mary's idea and putting it in a modern form along with Mike Ginchin who's part of used to be
part of the commission and they had been someplace and they said there's this thing a QR code we could do that and uh I want to call to your attention the first tags were listed the River Edge Historic Commission QR project. Thanks. It was Jim's idea to call this a walk
through history and >> so are you gonna go back and update the old uh ones with the new >> maybe we have four more streets. I guess the point we're trying to make was that we wanted to update you on Joe and Mary because it's an expansion from street names because there's so much history
around town that's not just related to and we're coming to our limit on street names. Places like Elm or Oak or Windsor, we're not sure what the history is. It's much easier with a zerriski or a bogurt. We form we have Christy and we have Vanson lo and one other and then
we're done with street names but there's so much the mansions burrow hall the old burrow hall the river hotel. So part of it here was saying as we go forward we'd like it to be truly history paths around town radiating from Bogurt Hall which was where the burrow was founded on one
end to Newbridge on the other end where we're going to act in a complimentary fashion to Newbridge landing. It's my contention. I've been an advocate part of the commission to say our history is more than the revolutionary war and our history is more than new bridge landing.
There's so much here in terms of my family moved in 1951. We're creating history and history is in essence all of our stories put together becomes part of our community narrative. So we've uh examined other communities where they had concepts like museum in the street
where they had signs. New Milford has a variation on it, but this is a lot more inconspicuous. >> We don't have to ask for property rights for different signs and as we think this has worked out nicely, we hope to carry it forward by continuing the stories but
not just limited to street names. >> Excellent. I think this is wonderful. Any comment from council questions? >> Well, I was wondering if we could use any messaging on our town's behalf to let everyone know about these sticklers. >> I think we already do. I think uh don't
we is that on the website about the stickers and >> sure >> well why don't you >> may have been an expired message >> can you guys work with uh the burough clerk and any of anyone she might designate so that we could um maybe um
if not on their the uh the part of the directory that says historic commission but maybe something on the um front page that might be semi-permanent permanent if possible. Okay. So, so you'll call Ann maybe uh sometime next week.
>> That's good. >> And she may she may delegate it to someone else, but uh you know, we'll >> was also going to see if we could take some of those stickers. I could laminate all the ones, one for each street. Laminate it, maybe put it in like the burrow police, like when people walk in
to the library so people can see it in public places in town so they could also speak of the library, you have to speak to them directly, but um yeah, I I don't think the chief would object to that. Uh again, when you talk to Ann next week, u you know, try to also see if the chief
would have any objection to lobby. I mean, the lobby is under our authority, but you know, we want to respect the chief and the police department, and we don't want to do anything to that lobby that they would not be comfortable with or would not support. >> Um, part of the process here, we were
trying to create collaborative projects. It' be about the community, but by the community and not a top down from just the historic commission, but a community discussion. And as part of that, uh, with 250 coming up, there have been discussions. One, we're having collaborations with the schools. I've
spoken to the high school. We're hoping to have a community service component. These next scripts hopefully won't have my voice on it anymore. We're hoping to have >> You have a nice voice. >> Oh, please. We're hoping to have some honor students do the voiceovers from the high school, but but they're also
talking about doing community service in the spring and we hope have a whole variation. I'm not going to waste your time with it, but 20 to 30 projects in different forms as part of this. But another collaboration we're talking about with local businesses as part of Facebook postings. By the way, Jim will talk to you about Instagram in a second,
but as part of Facebook postings, we've done histories of what we call legacy businesses like the River Edge Diner, Palmer Brothers, Critley's Candies, uh Palmer, I said Palmer, but one or two others. And the idea that their stories are as relevant as your family story or
my family story. And uh given that history and 250 coming up which is a different discussion by itself um >> just for the public's understanding 250 refers to the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence that will be celebrated nationwide >> right for next year. We were hoping to
provide some givebacks. My family's here long enough that we remember 1964 when it was a major anniversary of New Jersey, 1976 the bsentennial and 1994 for River Edg's centennial becoming a burrow. Um we've spoken to businesses and others
and these are prototypes of a couple of banners that we're hoping to do is Main Street is the retreat route. So next year is the 250th anniversary of George Washington retreating from Fort Lee on the way to Princeton and Trenton and Main Street is a historic beyond just Newbridge Landing but the rest of Main
Street. So we've come up with this banner through Gates Flags. I've spoken to Jason about it to coordinate that it would be complimentary to the heroes banners or any other banners on the street and we've gotten clearance on that. We wanted to start modestly. So even though because of what's happening
with the heroes banners, there are questions but we were offered initially maybe four or five banners even though there are more available but as I said we want to start modestly >> and again you would coordinate with the superintendent of public's works if the council is in agreement. Could I have a
motion and second to uh grant um authority to the superintendent to uh work with the historic commission to place banners in preparation for the 250 anniversary of the declaration of independence. >> So move second. >> All in favor please say I.
>> All right. For the record this is the second banner for everyone talks about new bridge landing. We're hoping to make the story of old bridge landing a little more prominent which is truly a river story. Yes. birthplace of Bergen County, birthplace of of Riverside, then River Edge, the train station. So much history
within a block. So, we're hoping at the Y near Critley, since there are no black uh decorative street lights, as I have up and down Main Street and part of Kinderac, the only place is at that Y that goes from River Edge Road up to Kinder. So, we're hoping to start modestly there. We've got a commitment from one business. So, I'm here part of
it hoping to propose to you a public private partnership. I'm going to be knocking on doors of businesses. Uh >> well, public private partnerships have to be reviewed by our burough attorney. They have to be brought for the council. So that sort of thing you would need to create a written proposal.
>> Uhhuh. >> Uh then it has to be submitted to our burough administrator. Burough administrator would then uh have our burough uh our burough attorney review it and uh and then the council would have to have a private uh a closed session uh discussion and then if all of
that seems like the council is interested in it then you would come back and present it so the public could understand what public private partnership the council may or may not wish to enter into. >> Well I guess more specifically I'm ready to go to businesses in terms of an
independent third party. You can't do that. >> No, you cannot go as a representative of the Burough River Edge to discuss a public private partnership. >> Okay? >> Because you're not. >> You know what I'm saying? Until the council authorizes you, you are not a representative of the town in in
negotiations for a public private partnership, >> right? And that's why I'm here tonight, just as an introduction. The the other part was that we were hoping to give something back to the burrow as as part of the celebration next year. So this was one of the ideas whatever the forum was because at times there have been
discussions that there might be funds available from the burrow in terms of these projects and but I've heard other messages at the same time. So we wanted to hedge it in terms of there if there was a interest there that this was a possibility but I wasn't going to
venture forward until I made the presentation tonight and you know to you about >> anything that you want to do going forward other than the work with the banners with that would and the QR codes that would be um superintendent Molito
right uh anything else you need to submit as a written proposal after this meeting so again the process can move forward. >> All right. >> Because we have liability questions and we have legal authority questions. So I think all this is great,
>> right? >> But it has to be properly vetted sometime. >> The idea of the concept there. So yeah, and this as well I guess >> and there was no intention to do this next year, but similar to the blue sign that was in front of the burrow hall, the notion is down the road to plant the
seed that there might be a blue sign by old bridge down the road there. So >> I think that'd be great. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, there are two possibilities. The green sign, I think you've seen this in terms of what the fire department's talking about, and we're sort of modeling ourselves in terms of what the fire department was hoping to do with the original Burough Hall. The other one is this is the blue sign, which is
through the Bergen County Historical Society. We've priced it out, and there are similar prices there. So, again, I'm just floating the concept with you. It's something that we'd like to be doing as part of the, you know, observance for next year, whatever the form is. >> I think this is all great. you need to
put it in writing and hand uh present it to the burough administrator and then uh it would uh the council would the wheels of proper process would go into motion and and um you know I think uh I think if I'm reading what cost estimates would
also have to be concerned and uh all new sign a sign sign like that does fall under signage so that may be it might be required that it has to go to land use board for comment so it sounds like a lot, but you know, we want to make sure that we don't in any way create a
precedent or an issue that uh would come back to the taxpayers. >> That's good. Look forward to talking to everybody. Thank you for the time. Before you go, I don't know if you uh knew this or maybe the council doesn't know this, but uh of the three flags, we have the River Edge flag, we have the
state of New Jersey over here, and of course the the US flag, but this flag, and I didn't know we had it until recently. This is the River Sentennial flag. >> Take a picture. >> Yeah. And uh
>> you know what was >> you take a picture of it? >> Yeah. >> Where was it hung? Like where was it displayed? >> I have no idea. When we came back to the council, it was here. So it might have been in storage and when we had to repair it and renovate the burrow hall.
>> This uh this was found and so it's uh it went >> Oh, wow. Sure. >> Uh, mayor and council, uh, the head of our commission is here, and I wouldn't hear the end of it. She asked me to mention something to you, so I'm doing it upon her recommendation.
>> That sounds I I value my relationship with you, but I worry more about the only joke. All right. Well, there are a bunch of activities with our group collaborative for the 250 next year, but one of them includes an exhibit that's coming to town through
the Rev New Jersey and it's going to be staged at the cultural center. I think it's called Voices of the Revolution, but it's coming from the Crossroads of the Revolution and the New Jersey historic whatever, but it's going to be we've booked it for next October. It's
going to be after July 4th, but we did it so because we've gotten the blessing from both the elementary school and the high school and they're going to send their students to it. >> Wonderful. >> And with the one last panel though that applies the principles and there there's guiding principles for the exhibit, but there's the opportunity for a local
panel also. So, we're hoping to apply that state or national story and give it a local dimension, too. So, look forward to updating you about that. And there's an evolving 250 committee separate from us. So, we'll keep you up to date on all that, too. >> Yeah, I I think all that's wonderful.
And again, I I uh in addition to reaching out to uh the clerk and the BA and the superintendent, if you would just write a summary of all of this so that it can be sent to the clerk and the clerk can send it to the council so that we'd have a record of it. >> Sure. other than of course what's being
videotaped and and taken in the notes. It's just would be really great so that uh the council can then print out that and keep it for themselves and for the next time you come so we can ask you about everything. >> Sounds good. >> Wonderful. >> All right. Any time. Thanks thanks for
your support especially on the tour project. >> Last thing look for look at our uh Instagram account historical commission Instagram account. We post pictures from our archives. So, we've been posting since August and have gotten over 10,000 hits to our account since August,
including me. >> That's right. So, that's been lots of fun. A lot of comments on them. It's been fun. >> They're amazing pictures. >> That's cool. >> Yeah. All right. Well, thank you all for coming. Uh we're uh we're pretty much closed for the evening, but we have just
a few little administrative details to take in there. >> Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Um did we open to the public? No. No. >> No. Could I have a motion and second to open to the public on any issues or comment? >> So move. >> Second. >> All in favor, please say I.
>> I. >> Is there any member of the public? >> You did a great job in here. This is really good. >> Oh, really? Thank you for saying that. We appreciate that. >> Outside the hall. >> Come up, state your name, address, and uh and you have two minutes. Hold on.
Let me do that. I got it. Hold on a second while I just uh open my clock. >> Good. Thank you. >> Hi, I'm Joseph Dunce. I live at Six Tagard Way in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.
Um I'm a member of the New Jersey Libertarian Party. Okay. And in the last couple of Julies, we've had Mad Pride demonstrations to stand up for the rights of psych patients. Last year, we had it uh near Newbridge Medical Center.
This year, because the parking would be easier, we had it on a Sunday in front of the River Edge Library. And um we stayed for it. This year it was just two of us holding signs. We
stayed for about an hour. Then um the other member left about a few minutes before me. As I was leaving the parking lot for the library, I noticed that um a River Edge police car was coming into the parking lot. And um we don't know
why the police were coming, but we were we're a little worried that the police were there to interrogate us or harass us just for holding signs. So, I came to try to clear the air and ask for your assurance that if we have a
demonstration in front of the library next July, the police won't harass us. >> So, this is comment uh and question time. We're going to close to the public and then we'll answer you. Okay. Is there you have about uh 30 seconds left.
Is there anything else you want to say? >> No, that's everything. >> All right. Thank you for coming. Please return to your seat. Is there anyone remotely who would like to ask a question or make a comment? All right. Could I have a motion and second to close the public on any item?
>> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor, please say I. >> I. Uh so our police department has been um amazing in their uh protection of um first amendment rights and uh we've had
several different rallies in town and our police have done a great job of protecting the rally members as well as policing the public spaces and there has never been an incident in 14 years that I've been on the council where our police have have done anything wrong or
harassed anyone on uh in regards to first amendment rights and I know our chief is a great advocate and protector of first amendment rights. So I think that is assurance enough at least from my point of view. I hope it is to uh anyone else. Um so to record for the 14
years and for the tenure of our current chief as well as our past chief there have been no concerns nor would they should would there should they be. And all of our police officers are trained on the community um uh model uh of police service which is one of great
respect for the residents. Okay. Um any council comments? Anything happening with your lays on ships that you would like to mention? Anything coming up on the calendar? >> Yes, mayor. Um I just like to mention our the 2025 Halloween parade in the park um this Saturday um October 25th.
Parade time is from 1 to 2 pm. >> Excellent. And >> I just wanted to give a shout out to the police department because you reminded me I was at the No Kings uh rally and there have a lot of people there and I was wondering where are the police because I didn't really see any police force.
>> They were there. >> I know. That's what I'm saying. And then when I was walked back to my car, there was a police car and I talked to the officer and he was telling me how the drones were in the air. They were watching it very and I just thought, "Wow, what a what a great department we have that they they were protecting all of us, but yet you didn't see them." I
thought it was I was very impressed and I want to give them a shout. >> Yeah, they do a great job of protecting anyone who wants to exercise first amendment rights as well as all the residents in town who may not agree with uh with the with the presentation. They
they are um they're amazing. They're amazing. Um anyone else? I do also know that we have um Halloween trunks from the >> trunk and treat >> trunk and treat which is happening immediately after the parade and I think
