>> Go up. >> Thank you. You want to come up? All right. As soon as diabetes awareness month, whereas National Diabetes Awareness Month is served annually in November attention to diabetes and its impact on
millions of Americans. Whereas diabetes is a chronic health condition that affects the way the body trans is one of the leading causes of death and disability in United States. Whereas education or detection are key to preventing and managing diabetes and
individuals to learn their risk factors maintain a healthy lifestyle and seek regular medical care. And whereas one month and throughout the year is important to support individuals and families affected by diabetes healthare
professionals, researchers and organizations dedicated to prevention, education and treatment. standard result that I express on the committee of the royal park here November 2025 as
national renaissance in Park activities and educational programs that promote diabetes prevention and management dated 12th of November in the year 2025. Thank you very much for joining. Do you want to say something?
>> Thank you very much. appreciate it. And I'm going to do this. All right. And we'll have this tomorrow. >> Everybody smile. Please. All righty. So, let's move forward and we have discussion. Uh, so we have the volunteer handbook.
>> Dear, would you like to start on that? >> Sure. As you may recall, mayor, we've been working on the volunteer handbook for a while. It was u actually written by uh the law firm of Jacob Clearary Ampiri Jacobs uh who happens to be our labor attorney as well. that's provided through our GIF.
Um, and yep, and based on the uh minimum liability limits, we were waiting to hear back from our account executive, our our JIF, you know, our insurance company. And now that we have that number, that's we're ready to proceed and issue it to all of
our volunteers. And again, you know, it's treating volunteers so they understand the importance and we realize the importance of people volunteering, but making sure that everybody operates within the confines of the of the law and and they're treated fairly. >> Very good. Any questions?
>> No. >> No. Okay. >> So, yes. >> You think we have to decide because we have decided it will be a million 2 million aggregate. Do we want to lower that? So um the question was the million
and 2 million aggregates we did speak to Jeff about this I understand and what was the recommendation? You have the minimum liability limits of 25,000, 50,000, 25,000, which represents the New Jersey statutory minimum automobile limits. And I think that makes sense again because these are volunteers. U to
ask them to get more um insurance would not make sense, right? >> So how much are we looking >> that it's those numbers are 2550 and 25? Those are the three numbers. >> So that's the total. >> Yes. >> All right. So 100,000 2550
>> you look at 100,000. Yes. >> Right. So that would be what we would look for. We don't need the 2 million to 1 million. >> Correct. >> Is everybody okay with that being changed? >> Mhm. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay, that's great. So we can do that.
>> I believe John >> John. Okay. Okay. So, may I have a motion to u amend the liability limits? >> I'll make the motion. >> May I have a second? >> I'll second. Roll call.
>> Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller. >> Yes. >> Ven Chowinsky. >> Yes. >> Mayor Judge Carlo. >> Yes. >> Thank you. So the volunteer handbook will be amended to reflect a new uh limit of liability and will be um
distributed to all the volunteers. >> Okay. Very good. Great. So the next discussion intro ordinance amendment of chapter 180 entitled vehicles and traffic electric powered mod transportation to chief.
>> Thank you mayor. Uh you may recall about a year ago um I had asked the township to review an ordinance that was uh put in effect in the burough of Saddle Brook or the township of Saddlebrook regarding this. Um and here we are now finally looking at it. But
unfortunately the state of New Jersey has no comprehensive order nor is there any federal legislation that you know might require registration insurance and other mechanisms to help us enforce the use of these types of bikes. Um, recently I I'm privy to a video of few accidents, couple in Oakland, some in
Mont Valen, involving people operating in a reckless manner on these ebikes. And while this is not targeting ebike use, it's to the contrary, it's actually protect protecting uh those who use micromobility um and requiring them simply to follow the motor vehicle laws. Uh the only
limitation within this ordinance, Mayor, basically is uh for those under the age of 16 not to be able to use these. It's like giving them a a motorcycle without having a permit or a driver's license. And there's some of these devices that go beyond 29 mph. Some of them now
reaching 50 60 mph. So, it's become a safety issue and it's our concern in the police department. Um, unfortunately, I can't give you stats because the current again the state being behind the New Jersey traffic reporting report, the NJTR1 does not even have a spot for
these types of vehicles. So officers have to either list it as a motor vehicle, as a bicycle, or as a pedestrian. So again, we don't even know the amount of crashes that involve these statewide or here, you know, in Bergen County Park, but I can tell you there have been many incidents. We often times
see people riding these motorized scooters, traveling close to 20 mph, you know, while carrying a a grocery bag. Um, and obviously it's unsafe for them and and for the motorists. And again, we're just trying to keep everybody safe. Um, and until such time as there's state guidance, I know uh Mr. Catino's
office was fantastic with us. Lieutenant Kakowski pulled information off a recently sent email from uh the Rucker's uh safe streets program. They sent out something and we we've incorporated that language into the definitions to try to help us again get the word out about the safety and the safe operation of this.
So, we understand it's a holistic approach. It's not just enforcement. It's going to be through continued education. We've used Easy Ride before. We'll continue to use them to educate our parents and um as well as our juveniles as to you operation and operating safe. And we do ask our motorists, please, you know, there is a
4ft limit you have now when you see a bicyclist or an electric bike operating on the roadway, give them that 4ft of space. >> Any questions on this? >> Yeah. Um perhaps we could do some social media to educate families about this. I
These could be popular gifts during the holiday season as well. >> Yeah. And you're right, and that's a part of the problem. Um, parents don't actually know, right? Sometimes you're going online, you're thinking, "Hey, I'm just going to get and to your point, um, I was recently asked by an 11-year-old, you know, hey, maybe I can get this for
Christmas and uh, you know, it's Yeah. No. Um, because they can be dangerous and it's um, yeah, we absolutely will. Uh, deputy mayor, that's, you know, we in the police department, we prided ourselves on getting out social media campaigns, having our bike rodeo, and like I said,
we will definitely consult as well with easy ride um New Jersey and, you know, get whatever materials they have and share it and ask their school to do the same. We we'll share with this the school district. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else? Yeah, just to add just uh today I was driving on uh Far View A and
Pamis in the traffic and two scooters, motorized scooters came up on the yellow lines driving past. It scared me half to death and there were kids on there. So, there was no way to move out of their way. I didn't even see them until they passed by. So, it's getting more dangerous. I hadn't seen it that bad
yet. >> And this ordinance would require them to follow the motor vehicle laws which would make that action illegal. So, again, it's not targeting them. It's targeting the the unsafe use of these types of devices. >> My question I have a question with that which is a great point. So you're saying
that um these are or scooters that are doing it. Does that apply to also like motorcycles that I've seen doing it too? >> So of course the motorcycles would have to apply or adhere to the motor vehicle laws title 39 it's called of the state of New Jersey. Right now there's nothing
forcing >> for this correct for the scooters. >> Nothing statewide. So this would help us on a local level enforcement. Uh numerous towns, Caucus, Saddle Brook, um many others have enacted closer recent most recently enacted an ordinance uh
for the same reasons, >> you know, to try to make the roadway safer for everybody. >> Okay. Does anybody else? Now I know Mr. Scatino drafted um something with the ordinance on it. Does does is anybody in favor of um
a motion to introduce that ordinance at this time? >> Yeah, I'll make the motion. >> Okay. Do we have a second? I'll second. >> All right. I have a roll call. >> Yes. >> Committee? >> Yes. >> Committ Rola? >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller? >> Yes.
>> Man Schwinsky? >> Yes. >> Mayor George Cello? >> Yes. Well, thank you, Mr. Scutina, for getting that to us. Then we're going to have to put it under introduction on this one. Correct. >> So we're going to do the introduction ordinance number >> 154. Right. 1254.
>> So on the agenda, if you could put that under the ordinance introduction number 1254-25. And we're listing it as what? Motors. What are we listing it as? The title will be amendment of chapter
180 entitled vehicles and traffic. >> So we do that amendment on that and traffic. Okay, great. Thank you. Any other discussion for this? Anybody else have another at this time?
Any correspondence? >> Not at this time. >> The election. That's an important. Thank you. All right. So, may we have the adoption of the public session uh of October 22nd, 2025 and executive session
October 22nd, 2025. May I have a motion to adopt these minutes? >> I'll make the motion. >> May I have a second? >> Second. >> Okay. So, Mr. Miller wasn't here, so she has. Mr. PJ wasn't here either, so they'll have to abstain.
>> Yeah, I'm going to abstain. >> Okay. So, that's three. All right. May I have a roll call, please? >> Committee woman. >> I abstain. >> Woman Arola. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller. >> Abstain. Committee man.
>> Yes. >> Mayor J. >> Yes. Motion passes. All right. So, we have next the approval of the agenda. So, we're adding on to the agenda uh 25-297, which will be
the 296 is over here. So, we have the 297 and um that's the walk-on resolution here and this would be the appointment of a temporary fire prevention secretary. Um would you like to read
this this uh Uh the title is appointment of temporary fire prevention secretary and Janikin. Whereas the township is presently in need of a temporary fire prevention secretary and whereas the township seeks to appoint Michaela Janikan as temporary fire prevention secretary effective
November 17, 2025 at an hourly rate of $15 and and therefore be it resolved that the mayor and township committee of the township of Rochel Park B and hereby approve of the appointment of Mirain as temporary fire prevention secretary effective November 17th at an hourly
rate of $15. And be it further resolved that the township clerk be and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward a copy of this resolution to Michaela Jennin and place a copy of same in a personal file upon its passage. >> Okay. Very good. So that'll be added and
everybody has that listed on to that agenda. Perfect. All right. So may I have a motion to and we also added the ordinance. Everybody have that one too, right? All right. So may I have a motion to approve the agenda? >> I'll make the motion. >> You have a second. >> I'll have a second. Welcome. >> Committee woman.
>> Yes. >> Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller. >> Yes. >> Muinsky. >> Yes. >> Mayor George. >> Yes. >> Great. Thank you. All right. So, we'll get into our reports. Um, may >> Thank you, Mayor. I'll start with Howard Avenue. You'll see obviously there's a
couple of resolutions on tonight's consent agenda. Uh, one is for the payment of Howard Avenue improvements between Patent Court and Harvey A. There's also a change on order on there. Uh this committee may recall that we made the decision to uh while milling and paving all of Howard Avenue, it made
no sense not to mill and pave Patent Court. So we did that as part of this project as well as updated any curbs and some additional driveway aprons that needed to be done as well as the 23 trees that were now planted on that section of Howard were actually just placeholders in the original plans. Um
once our shade tree commission and Dave Brown came to what types of trees they went there was a slight increase but again all within the 15% allowable and all well under you know within the bid. Um so that's what that is. Uh Howard Avenue between James and Patton the 90 plus trees have been planted if
anybody's been down that way. Uh unfortunately it's the fall and the leaves fall off but I'm sure it'll look great in the spring. Um and I have good news mayor. The rapid rectangular flashing beacon system parts have finally arrived. Boswell, the vendor, and the DPW were actually on site today uh preparing to get the installation
done ASAP. As soon as I have a date and time, I'll report back to this committee and let you know. For those that been down to Carlock field recently may have noticed the top of the spray misters are missing. That's a good thing. The manufacturer picked them up, took them back to their factory for some retrofitting. Hopefully, it'll fix the
ongoing issues that we had with them. Um they still have yet to be paid for that andor the the gazebo for that matter, but um that's it is a good sign. They were very finally responsive. Came up from Florida, picked them up and took them back. So, I hope once we get them back, they will be operational. The past
week, we completed a grant for the complete streets technical assistance grant. Uh, thank you everyone for the quick turnaround and letters of support that includes our environmental commission, our committee members sitting seated up here as well as others in the community. Uh, hopefully that happens. Excuse me. Uh, when I look once
I get a result, I will again inform this committee of that. We did receive a grant award of $138,790. That's a CDBG grant for the year 202526. We'll use that for Hoffman Avenue. That's the roadway we had put in for. Obviously, the job would have to be
bonded for. Um we'll worry about that next year. The estimated cost of that job is about 540,000. Finally, work has begun on 126 Howard Avenue and 16 Elorado Court. Those were two of the last remaining homes that remained in our FEMA grant for the elevation project. Uh but they have
finally received their permits and work is under the way and underway. Uh we already covered the fire prevention secretary, but what that's a result of um one of our current employees going to be out on sick leave and rather than have that position not filled, Michaela offered to help and we will hopefully
pass that resolution tonight allowing for that continuation of work being done in fire prevention. Uh mayor, you may recall, I guess it was last week, you had arranged for a meeting with the Senator Cory Booker staff. that meeting did take place and I'm happy to report as a result of the meeting and a result
of the prompting of this committee and our mayor um Mr. Booker staff was able to locate that there's about $500,000 to continue an Army Corps of Engineer study um I was able to Boswell actually engineering who participated in the call was able to find this fact sheet
regarding the lower saddle river flood risk management project and um I've reached out to both the Army Corps of Engineer um the actual gentleman cited on here Mr. Dr. Rafat Salim or I'm sorry, Ms. Rafat Salim and I've asked her for some updates. I have yet to get an email response, but I'll continue to
follow up. But again, knowing that there's about a half million dollars to update the study that was last done um a long time ago, um at least it's progress, mayor. So, thank you for facilitating that meeting. >> Well, the meeting also was attended by
Mr. Chinsky, uh our engineer, uh um I'm trying to think who else. Um Miss Miss Kim. Donatello >> and Mr. Donatella I think was he was there too and uh they had about six another six people of theirs uh which we
we didn't know about this 500,000 I think this is to look at the completion of it uh that they would be looking you know we have to also worry about the construction that's going on in towns that are neighboring us and that's a big concern too with the saddle river scrapbook area too so we'll keep on top
I guess you'll follow up I think there was a Mr. Thompson also that was >> Matthew right >> Matthew Matthew Matthew Thompson >> right that was also talking about it and let's see um Matt >> yeah they also they also did say unless I heard incorrectly that there was a
priority for the S River they have that's that's hot on their list right now >> yeah so >> we will continue to follow up >> see what we'll see what happens but it was a nice surprise I can tell you that it was a very big big surprise >> yes it was ask a quick question about
the spraying misters. >> Yeah. >> Uh Dean, how do we prevent more issues from coming about with those spray misters? Did the contractor offer >> any advice or reassure us that, you know, that was a one-time issue? >> Um it has actually not the contractor who did the installation, but the
manufacturer. Uh they're they're admitting that there was a design flaw. They're taking it back to make the retrofit. And you know, again, they haven't been paid for it. If it comes back and they don't work, I'm never paying them, Tommy. It'll be that simple. Um, but you know, it's the it was the first time we used this specific
vendor for this type of product because we've never done these in the in town, but uh there are other vendors and if that's the case where you know, I'm not satisfied or this committee is not satisfied when they do come back, we could look for other options. Great. >> Also, you um I don't know if you said anything about Matthews Field's starting
to be >> I did not. Thank you, mayor. Yes. For reminding. So, Matthews Field, as you may recall, through an open space grant, we've uh done uh you've approved a project. Uh that work was awarded. The bid came in very competitively to our advantage. Um Ballotano Construction is
the um vendor. Uh they've begun to mobilize their equipment and they're going to they have started to work. Um, and that'll include the batting cage, refencing the whole center field, refencing some of the the town's fencing along the side by Midland Street, providing a um warning track on the
outfield so we don't have to worry about the grass contingency washing away, and several other upgrades to the planters along the third baseline where we've seen a lot of uh soil erosion, new swing set, and updating of the playground surface. >> Was it I didn't hear maybe I didn't hear
the first part. Was there something with the Ballard? So, at the end of the road, >> yes, Mayor, you had asked um when we walked out the first time around during the design plans to uh put some more safety ballards because we did have a uh intoxicated driver at one time drive right into the the property there. So,
there'll be more of the concrete protective ballards put up uh to keep vehicles from doing so. >> And how's the roof going? >> The roof. So, yes, here in the municipal building, I will tell you this. Thank you again, mayor, for reminding me. Uh good news. Um, since the work has started, uh, we've had some severe
rainfalls, we've had some constant and steady rainfalls, and we've had no leaks within the building. Uh, there was only one time, and it was when they only prepped the lower roof. Um, as soon as we called the contractor, they came out and fixed their prepping. And even prior to applying the acrylic, was it acrylic?
Silicone. >> Silicone. Prior to applying the top layer of silicone, we had no leaks. Now that they've applied about an 80% of the silicone, we still have no leaks. um happy to report. So I've authorized Dave Brown at this point to and he has taken account of all the damaged ceiling tiles
throughout this first floor. We've actually placed the order today so he'll have them once the roofing project is listed as complete. He'll be able to replace all of the soiled and damaged and missing u ceiling tiles around. >> Okay. And I want to give 100% credit to
Mr. Chinsky on this. If it wasn't for him looking into it, how much how much was savings on it? Oh, >> close to half a million. Mor >> almost a half a million. Now, there was something with the chimney that was going to be a more cost and I believe Mr. Kinsky came in with something that's
safe than that. So, you're looking at to save on that, sir. Correct. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Can we comment on that? >> Sure. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, I have in front of me an estimate and materials for the chimney, which is about $440, which will give us the same 30-year
guarantee that we will not leak with through the chimney. Um, which was going to be a what, $17,000 line item. >> Got down to 14 >> 14,000. We still have some labor involved with this. There was a couple of days for maybe two of the DPW workers
which agreed to be able to be to handle what was left to be done. So, I think we it was a win-win all the way across the board on the we'll be done with this roof and this building for quite a long time, hopefully my lifetime. >> Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Trust. This
wonderful work and that's a big savings too with the chimney. So, let's do committee reports. Uh Miss Peter, would you like to go first? Sure. Thank you. Uh for the building department, 29 permits issued, total value construction, $1,99,77.
Total fees for permits collected, $26,668. Permit fees waved, $4,400. Uh zoning permits, $2,1225. 32 zoning permits, 24 zoning applications, three zoning violations,

Uh, I don't have too much to report on the buildings and grounds other than now that this roof is uh, pretty much a wrap. I plan on setting some sites and focus and I told Dave Brown and I told Dean that I would spend some time down at Matthews Field by that fieldhouse to
come up with some resolutions for a bunch of issues that were pointed out that have gone on way too long that need to be resolved. uh including windows, maybe a little central heating system down there, heating air conditioning system, um flooring, there's a there's a bunch
of it and the uh the spoils for the roof getting in through the sopet which should have been wrapped when whenever the roof was done, but that was prior to me. I I I just I am going to set my sights down there. I I was just like I told people, I I was embarrassed when I went in there for the opening day when I
had the opportunity to go in there for the kids and uh that's going to get rectified. Um I also want to thank the veterans and anybody that has served and anybody that volunteers and serves their time in the
armed forces. I have a um um I have a lot of um uh good good in my past from family members in in the armed service and uh and I and I appreciate everything that you've done
for us for us that sit back here. So, thank you very much for everything that you've done. Um, the last thing I want to say on the driving down, I I haven't had a chance to other than today cuz I was working down in that area, but driving down Howard A and driving down and seeing all the trees for the first
time and noticing them was a pleasant sight and I look forward to seeing them a bit bigger as they grow. So, thank you everybody and happy Thanksgiving. >> Very good. Thank you. All right. So, I just have a couple things here. Um, and

secure email and designing the flyers for September park office of emergency management is now part of the new register readiness resource and voluntary program that helps emergency managers identify and assist residents
access with access and functional needs. Uh it's a state bike registry which means that if you know of anyone in the state, a family member, a friend or anyone that you know that may have an access or functional need, you can go on to the portal and you can sign them up and they will automatically be directed
to the emergency management agency in their particular jurisdiction. So patrol shell park obviously uh I'll get it. any other place in the state that emergency management coordinator uh will have access to that information. It's particularly help excuse me particularly
helpful at times of evacuation. We'll be able to street have an idea of how many evacuated that have access or a disability or functional need and to properly assist them with evacuation and
or sheltering. Um, this, as you know, uh, now replaces the Brookfield Park Fire Department special needs list, which they send out on their annual solicitation. We're in the process of betting the 107 names that are on that list. Uh, and we're working to get that
transfer into the uh, into the portal. So, happy to answer any questions that you may have. You kind of have to get back to it. There's about 25 or 30 copies I left up on the table up here by where the agenda is and uh we're actively engaged in getting people
signed up. So if you know of anyone whether in town or out of town you want to sign them up. The information is on the brochure. We encourage you to take uh take a brochure and contact information is on it. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out and we can either assist you
in registering, assist a family member in registering uh or um any question. >> Okay. >> So, I see that it says emergency management community includes the public health officers, first responders. Does this include access for all?
>> No. >> Okay. Does this include the police department? Yeah. >> No, it does. >> Okay. >> Through through. Okay. at a time of emergency. We'll share that information with them. That's the way it's set up. >> Okay. So then it's it's the fire department or through OEM.
>> Through nothing to do with >> nothing with the fire. Got it. It used to be. >> Excuse me. >> It used to be. >> That's correct. Yes. >> Okay. >> That's over and then we have um assume those responsibilities. Okay.
>> Okay. Great. Thank you. Anyone have any questions? >> Uh just about outreach. How can we uh get this out so that residents know about it and know to register? I know that at the last access for all meeting we talked about pushing into senior meetings um and working alongside Access
for All to get folks to sign up. >> Good question. I'll be at the senior meeting tomorrow. Okay. They all meet sometime I think near the end of the meeting. So I'll have brochures and I'll make that presentation to them. I would think anything on our website. I know now that we've updated the OEM portion,
excuse me, at the township website. There is an access link uh to register any there. Um and whatever you could do, share it on your own social media sites. Um I can send you an email electronic version of the road if you want to get that out somehow or whatever you can do
to encourage folks to to participate. And again, stress the fact that it's not just Roal Park, it's anywhere in the state. Okay, we would only get access to obviously Roshell Park, but you know, family, friends, neighbors, or someone you know that live out of out of out of park in the state. So, you know, it'll
help them as well. Excuse me. So, whatever you could do, um, and again, I don't know if it's on the town. I believe it's on the town's website. >> It is. >> And as of tonight, it was shared on the PD website at about4 to 6. >> So, it's on the town and the PD. >> Correct.
>> I don't think the sign board. >> Yeah. Sign board. It's not on social media yet, right Dean? >> Have Jean, have we posted this yet? >> No, we'll get to it. So, >> I wanted Pete to do his presentation and then we'll go from there. We'll definitely get it out there. Yeah.
>> Anyone else? >> All right. Thank you very much. >> Getting the word out again. Thanks for the help of the secure email to help designing the brochure and uh let >> Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So, now we should go on and we have the public
participation. Um council. >> Yes. Uh will everyone uh please be uh reminded that please state your name. You don't have to say your street address, just the town in which you reside. There's a 3minut limit which uh
for tonight's meeting because the agenda is rather lengthy will be strictly enforced. Any comments or questions that are asked will not be responded to until after the all the members of the public have had an opportunity to address the governing
body. After that portion is done and the meeting is closed to the public, then to the extent that we can answer the questions or your comments require a reply from the administrator or members of the committee or myself at that time we will respond. >> Okay.
>> Oh, and you only can get up one time. >> Okay. May I have a motion to open the public, please? >> I'll make the motion. >> I have a second. >> Second. >> And I have a roll call, please. >> Many women are teaching. >> Yes. Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller. >> Yes.
>> Trinsky. >> Yes. >> Mayor Judge Carllo. >> Sure. Yes. >> Okay. Anybody that like to come up and speak? >> I'm going to vote fast cuz I only have three minutes which is ridiculous. Statute. >> It's in the statute.
>> Yeah. Because the governing body can set the time. >> It's mandatory. >> It's mandatory in the statute. >> No. >> No. That's what I'm saying. It's a recommendation. So, it's a ridiculous option. Well, it's used by many municipalities. That doesn't count for my time cuz I wasn't speaking here. Um,
I'd like to the mayor ask uh Mr. Peachy. Uh, are you resigning? Did you are you resigning from your position? >> Excuse me. You have to address all questions to the chair. And again, we're not respond. We're not responding to any questions until the public. >> Okay. Well, I want to know if Miss Petri resigned. She obviously he's running for
another position this past election and I guess she doesn't have any more interest in the township committee and also her committee uh for her campaign committee. He says uh PG for RP. I noticed that on her
signs and I want to know if that was her uh committee for this township committee or was there a new committee formed for the board of ed race because it might be a campaign finance violation. >> I I didn't get the first part. So, what did you say? It's a on signs. What? >> Her signs are paid for by a PG for RP.
>> Okay. >> And you have to specify which office you're running for. >> Okay. >> So, I want to know if those campaign funds for the township committee for the board of ed. >> Okay. >> I just want
uh Committee Miller, this for you. What's going on with the 8ft weeds on the house on Central Avenue and the tents that you said would be down over at Armada in November. Uh on November 1st, there were 30 to 40
people all over the street of Susana Avenue for over an hour and a half. I called the police department after an hour and they told me that the police were there. There were no police there. Then they told me that the people were at a
Halloween party, which I don't think was on the street, but that's where everybody was. >> These people were in the street >> all over the street in the road, on the sidewalks, on the street corners making noise. Cars driving up and down. I was told by the police dispatcher
that they were uh waiting for Ubers, which is below me because they all had cars. Three were parked in front of my house. So, I don't know what's going on with that. Uh, and oh, I was also told by the administrator
that there's a new noise ordinance. And I'm not sure exactly what that was, but there is a person who plays the drums two blocks away from me every night for two hours. And you could hear it. It's on Lincoln. It could hear on
Saskuan in East Forest. I don't know how no the neighbors are complaining about it. This guy plays the drums and >> drums. He sang >> drums. I don't know what doesn't play a song. He's just pounding on the drums for 2 hours, maybe 3 hours sometimes.
It's very annoying. That's it. I hope the questions are answered and I didn't go over the 3 minutes. >> No, we still got 25 seconds. >> You want You have 25 seconds. So, anything else? >> No. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, we'll answer at the end when I think the attorney
said at the very end. >> Yeah. Anyone else, please? I don't answer. >> No, no, you will. Make sure you write these down. Um, I want to know the whole township
committee, did you leave Jenna PJ out of communications in the beginning of this year? The second thing I want to do is say that committee woman, you you wrote this online and it got
sent to me. When I first joined the township council, I was genuinely excited to work alongside a new Democratic majority. When you first joined the township committee, it was a Republican majority. But I want to let you know if they kept
you out of negotiations, it's exactly what you or any kind of discussion, it's exactly what you did to me. So karma baby. Yeah. Shake your head. Here's another thing. You You went to go run for assembly. You
went to go run for the school board. It's evident you don't want to be here. So do yourself a favor. Resign in December and Gail could take you one year shot. Everything you wrote in that post is you. You are a phony.
Second thing. Second thing. The resolution to put the pump station out to bid. We've got another Northwest Financial. It went out without the resolution. So
the resol I have it right here from a Dodge report. It's out now. tonight you're going to pass the resolution. Why? Why? Why was the hurry for it to go out? That's what I want to know. Why
>> are you was that? >> And another thing I want to know, whose bright idea was it to >> to have a groundbreaking when the contract's not even awarded? >> Okay. >> Okay. Whose bright idea?
And since when is closed session? I just picked up on it. Why is closed session known as executive session? That is a board of ed term. It's been known for close session in this town for forever.
I looked back on agendas and minutes. So, how did it go to executive session? Was there a resolution for that? Don't answer. That's okay. >> No, >> but it's evident it was you, mayor. Second thing, you have a resolution
25291 Stapleton retirement. Does anybody know that Lieutenant Stapleton assaulted somebody in this town? I have the police report here.
What's being done about that? What's being done? And you know why the retirement is February 1st? So he can get his five weeks vacation so he can get all his perks. He should be made to retire now
cuz it's again another employee getting away with murder. It's got to stop. >> Okay. Thank you. Anyone else have questions or concerns from the public? Hi.
>> Hi, Michelle. Um, Michelle Ballock. We are here with two other eighth grade moms. Uh, we just wanted to say thank you. Uh, Jenna Peachy gave us the idea to have Hen Hall um, sweatshirts for we had used Hen Hall to have an eighth grade social and all the eighth graders received hoodies from there. Um, so it
was really nice and beautiful event. So, we just wanted to say thank you very very much for allowing us to use it. Um, >> I just wanted to say that it was a beautiful event and Hen Hall is a very very nicely updated beautiful place. All
of us were very shocked how much it's been updated and wellkept. >> Did you all get you all Are you talking about those sweatshirts? >> Yeah, they there's >> I see I see it on you. That's why I'm asking. >> A vendor was able to donate these and then we hot pressed them on ourselves.
>> The kids had a great time. Wonderful. We don't get to use that often and they were surprised at, you know, how much there was for them. They're eighth graders and >> yeah, >> they had a great time. >> The game table and everything. It >> was great. >> Great. >> Thank you. >> Thank you very much.
>> And I just have one other thing. It's just a little discouraging to see how town people um like add salt to the the the table when um there's no need and people are are picking on a certain
person, but there's another person on your board that left the board to come here. So like you want to pick and choose. It's just not there and it's not it's not a pretty town to live in when we have this >> being recorded um on YouTube. So, it's
it's just it's not a nice look, but that's all. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Okay, let's see. Um, anyone else at this time? Okay.
>> Okay. Oh, sorry. >> Diane rehearsal park. Um, this is just something I guess to Dean or whoever when you do whatever with the bicycle and the motorcycle people, I know you can't officially do it, but if we're going to do a um informate information
thing, people have to be told, this is adults and kids, you do not ride your bike at night, a black bicycle, and you're dressed in black. Between my house and here, there were three people coming up chestnut totally in black, no
lights on there. bicycles. And I mean, thankfully nothing happened, but I see this all the time at night. And I don't know if they just don't think about it, but if it when you do an information thing, you could add that in there. I don't care if they put
headlights on or lights on their bikes or even when they're walking, there's people that walk at night and they walk in the street, they're all in black and it's just I don't want to wait till somebody gets hurt. I just think it's an accident waiting to happen. So, if we could add that to whatever information goes out, it'd be great.
>> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. Anyone else? >> Hurry. May I motion close the public? >> I'll make the motion. >> Second. >> A second. >> May. >> Yes. >> Woman Naruto. >> Yes. >> Mayor Miller.
>> Yes. >> Many. >> Yes. >> Mayor Judge Kavala. >> Yes. >> All right. So, I know Mr. Miller wanted to answer some of this. Do you go? >> Absolutely. So, um, Mr. Scarper reached out to me, uh, a little while back, uh, about some of the
concerns that he just mentioned. The tents, um, at Acadero, uh, there is an empty sign on the corner of, uh, Central and Rochelle Avenue uh, from a business uh, as well as a specific property on Central. And I forward those concerns
uh, to Mr. Pinto. And I know we got some responses on some of it from uh, our building department. if you would just touch on those that'd be great. >> Sure. So, the reference to Central Avenue property with the 8 foot tall plants, unfortunately, if you read our ordinance, they fall under, you know,
plants and not weeds. And that's what they are. They're they're flowers of some type. Um, in reference to Elasado, I have an email right here where uh the construction official advised the ownership that all tents and utilities be removed by December 7th. Um, and prior to reconstruction, any outdoor
seating or tents, he would need to obtain all prior approvals under the ordinance this committee passed. And if he fails to do so, it'll be a daily penalty of $1,000 per day. As far as the sign on Central Avenue goes, again, it was forwarded to the zoning officer and code enforcement officer to look into. Um, I'm not aware of any specific
ordinance, but I asked them to look into make sure that there's something that can be put and they were going to have a conversation with the business owner. Um, I know where I live there actually is one on on the very similar corner of a shopping center. Um, and it sits it sits out, you know, without uh signage
and it does look off and it's annoying as well. So, we'll continue to follow up. Now, the yellow acid is a big one and that's a December 7th deadline. >> Mayor, I can answer the question as to the noise ordinance. Yes, the noise ordinance was adopted earlier this year. The prior ordinance required a decibel
level reading which required you to bring an expert in to uh conduct the test. By the time they would get there just many towns had that in their ordinances, but it just became too hard to enforce and to locate someone. So the noise ordinance was changed to make it
uh much easier to identify a violation. In the case you're describing, depending upon the hours of the noise, it would most definitely be a violation. You just need to call the police officer and if he can hear >> directly I'm just let me just let me finish. So,
uh, if you call the police department, all the police officer would have to do, especially in the case you're describing, which you wouldn't even have to go this far, but stand on your property and he can hear if he can hear the noise, it would be a violation. >> It doesn't even matter if it's inside
your house. If you can hear from your property, it would be a violation. Uh as to uh the when there were 30 or 40 people, I I think the our police chief will have to answer that about that incident where they were told a police
officer was going to be there and the statement is that a police officer wasn't present. >> Yeah, I have no independent knowledge of that specific incident. Mr. Scorp is more than welcome to meet you at the police department. We'll sit in the chief's office with the uh leadership. Yeah, we we had an event not too long
ago of a house party down on um >> Someville. >> Someville >> um where there was about 350 to 400 juveniles. I had two officers working. Uh so it took about 2 and 12 to 3 hours to clear out all of those juveniles. Again, they are juveniles despite the fact that they're consuming alcohol and
cannabis. My officers are procluded by state statute from approaching and arresting them for such. Matter of fact, officers can be charged criminally if they were to follow up. Um, and I don't I'm not I'm not familiar with the specific instance you're talking about, but you more I'd be more than happy to
sit and talk with you about it. I did follow up on the drums. A matter of fact, Sergeant was dispatched. It's a juvenile who plays the drums in his parents' home. Um, it was during the daylight hours and the hours that wouldn't preclude such noise. Um, the the family was asked to insulate the
home and the room a little bit better. Um, again, it's a it's a juvenile playing an instrument. I think that's better than a juvenile uh causing problems. You didn't call. You came to see me during the day, Joe. Mr. >> You came to see that. You came to see me.
>> You You need to call when that happens. >> The as to All right. As to the two questions directed to committee person uh Fichi. The one dealing with whether or not there was an election law violation. I'm sure Mr. Scoffer, as you know, that really is not under the
jurisdiction of the governing body. That would be for that would be for Elac. And as to whether she would resign, those are questions. Again, she's not required to respond to that. Uh so she can. No, she's not required to respond to those questions. >> Let the attorney finish Mr. Scarpa,
please. >> So So she is not required to respond to those questions. She chooses not to. She's perfectly within her rights not to uh respond to uh individual questions respect with respect to her position on this committee or how she how she
campaigned with respect to a board of education seat. >> I'm aware of that. >> Okay. >> All right. So here for one second >> then we have Miss Bonaface's questions. >> Go ahead. You want to start?
>> Uh as to close first executive session. It towns refer to it differently. Some call it closed. Some close call it executive. It doesn't require a resolution to change. >> We closed it. We called it closed for a long time and it got changed because we
had a board of ed member sitting that seat. >> Well, there's two board of ed members previous Miss and I didn't change this on here and I'm not going to argue the point with you at this point. It's the same thing. >> Please go ahead. >> Okay. Next, as to the staple staple I
I'm asking, please staple >> as to the Stapleton retirement the the the individual wasn't right. The individual wasn't right for this meeting or that he was going to be discussed by the committee. You as a member of the public are free to say whatever you want with respect to any employee, but the
committee cannot respond abided the employee a right notice notifying him that he may be discussed at tonight's meeting. So I have to advise the council not to answer any questions about uh Mr. Stapleton or any employee for that matter unless they've been right with
respect to the meeting as to uh the resolution approving the specifications for uh was it >> the seven how would it pump station? >> Oh the pump station >> well
>> we have a timeline on that. Yeah, there yeah that there there was a timeline. It can it can you're right it would it would have been better practice to have approved the advertisement before the advertisement was made. Uh but again this cures any defect in the
advertisement by doing it at this point in time. But I'm not going to say that it should not have been done before the advertisement if it wasn't done. I I don't really uh recall whether it was or it wasn't. So I'll take your word that it wasn't as to improving the specifications that that's very
important in terms of giving a further protection from liability uh to the township. It's recommended by our insurance carrier that any specifications for any job especially one of this magnitude that the council actually approve the specifications. Uh
so those resolutions approving the specifications are to give us further protection in case there's any issues. uh and that's under the torque claims act to give us further immunity. So that's why uh that was done with respect to approving the specifications and it's
not it's okay to approve those specifications before the bids are received uh which is what is being done uh this evening. Uh mayor I don't know if Mr. Pichy was left out of communications in January or or not. I have I have no recollection.
>> I I I don't believe at all. I think she was involved in all the communications as in everybody uh that was on this committee. She did speak about um a couple of things that we had and I don't recall anybody being left out. Does anybody feel that they were left out at
the beginning of the year? Miss PJ, do you feel that you were left out? >> No. and no miss the January and the February meeting because she's not hereations but to everyone as far as I recall
>> right because I do believe all the communications go out to everybody uh Dean correct everything everything goes out to everybody >> yes may have so I don't I don't understand what what that was about but okay >> and as to the as to the uh
groundbreaking I I do not know whose idea it was however I part of the my understanding of why they wanted to do a groundbreaking because the pump station as you know is been a topic of this community for a long time and I think an effort was being made to let people know
that progress is being made and also uh the township committee is aggressively seeking further grants because of the cost of the project and I think they were just looking to bring further attention to the project by having a grant breaking as to whose idea it was I I I can't answer that idea. Well, we can
assume anything at this point. Um, I just want to I just >> I'm going to ask nicely. I'm going to ask nicely, please. Nothing from the public right now. Let's continue this going forward. Um, >> Miss B, Miss U, >> Mrs. Bassel, uh, your suggestion about
the wearing of the black. I, uh, I understand that. Maybe we can get that on some kind of reflection or something on there because I do understand what you're saying that people are walking around and riding around with the black and it's hard to see. Sorry.
>> Yeah. Okay. And Mr. Mrs. Ballot for Mrs. Ball. >> She took off. >> Um Okay. Yes. Uh Hen Hall. Um that I have here. Uh the sweatshirts are nice for the wearing which was very nice and I'm very happy that she was able to use
Hton Hall. I believe Hton Hall uh administrator can be used by others as long as they request correct >> request that to go through >> request go through the deputy clerk or the recreation secretary. We do have a form that needs to be filled out has all the requirements for it. Um and I will
say reflectors and lights for the actual micromobility units is required within the ordinance. Again wasn't dictated by state statute yet. So, uh, we added that to the the ordinance, but we will definitely make it a part of our social media and our outreach and education platforms to advise parents to tell
children specifically and maybe even themselves to wear brighter colors or reflective garments when riding at night. >> Okay. Very good. All right. And anybody else have any comments? Yes, Mr. >> Yeah. Uh, also just want to touch on H Town Hall. Uh, it's such a wonderful facility and I know that some families
are also doing birthday parties there uh for their children. So, I just think it's it's great overall. Um, Dean, while we're on the subject, are you can you remind the public about the outdoor dining ordinance? Just what do these restaurants have in regards to options
in April in regards to what sort of structures they can have and that are permissible? >> Yeah, I don't I don't want to pretend to remember the ordinance uh verbatim. Um, but there is a time frame within a year. It's I believe it's April through November that they can apply uh for outdoor dining, but it's much more
limited than what's currently, you know, at that property at 375 West Bet Street. And they were the only restaurant currently utilizing uh outdoor dining, but any restaurant would have to be inspected by our zoning and co our construction official to make sure it's within the limits of what the ordinance
said, but it doesn't preclude outdoor dining between April and November. >> Thank you. >> Right. But I if I remember correctly or there was something that was just sent to us that the tents would have to be coming down soon. >> Correct. December 7th. >> I'm sorry I can't hear. >> December 7th is the drop dead uh
deadline for Elaso to remove all outdoor dining and any electric whatever other utilities they may have in that parking lot. Uh if they fail to do so, it's a thousand. That's the risk of $1,000 per day in penalties. >> It must be down. >> It must be down by December 7th.
>> Okay. So um all right I think we have everything. I think that moving forward let's just try to work together here. I don't think that's censioned amongst us. We have gotten a lot of done a lot done and and I think all of us can agree to this. We
can all agree to this that we've worked really really hard this year. Let's just try to keep moving forward. All right. So let's go on to um introduction of ordinances. Miss Kim, would you please read them? Ordinance 1251-25,
amendment of chapter 75 entitled certificates of compliance. Ordinance 12525, amendment of chapter 73 entitled keeping of other animals. Ordinance 125325, amendment of chapter 199 entitled public health nuisances. And tonight we added a
new one, ordinance 1254-25, which is amendment of chapter 180 entitled vehicles and traffic. >> All right. Okay. May I have a motion to introduce ordinance 1251, 1252, 1253, and then we added 1254? May I have a motion?
>> I'll make the motion. >> May I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Who's got that? >> Roll call. >> Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Committee woman. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Miller. >> Yes. >> Committee. >> Yes. >> Mayor Judge Cavo. >> Yes. Motion passes.
>> All right. Would you please read it? Thank you. Notice is hereby given that ordinances 1251-25 1252-25 1253 25 and 125425 order introduced and passed on first reading at a meeting of the transition committee of Rochel Park held today
November 12th and order published in accordance with the law. said ordinances will be considered for final reading and adoption at a meeting held on December 10th at 700 p.m. in the Treasure Bros Park Municipal Building at which time all persons interested will be given an
opportunity to be heard concerning such ordinance. >> Thank you. All right. So, we're just going to go on to the consent agenda. >> All right. So all items listed below are considered to be routine and non-controversial by the township committee and will be appointed
by one motion. There will be no separate discussion on these items unless a committee member or citizens would request in which case the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda as part of general orders. So we have all these different ones here and let me introduce the other one. We have
uh the roll starting with um number 25 and it goes 279 280 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93
94 95 and then 97 because 96 will be a separate one that's authorizing the uh flag um the diabetic flag. So we all added the 297 on there, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Yeah. 297 on that. Great.
>> Uh I just have one thing I'd like to ask uh uh administrator about. I know that um we were looking at a couple of these um different shared services with the county, right? >> Yes, ma'am.
>> We are going forward with >> Yes, we are. Would you like me to touch base? So, the first one is for the highspeed fiber optic. Upon having a meeting with the county and their um highspeed internet provider or contractor, I was able to get confirmation of everything that we would
need and it would be provided only at this building. Unfortunately, they don't do remote municipal locations yet. Uh but this is basically would be providing internet to this building and allowing us to cancel one of our um providers uh to a savings about $350 to $400 per
month. Um Mr. Mr. Miller brought this back to my attention. I had looked into it last year when our IT provider and our our computer consulting firm said not to do it. Uh there was just too much not in play yet with the county, but they've since managed to get this
network up and running. So a year later, we've relooked at it and I'm satisfied it's going to be a benefit to this town and will remain. We'll keep our redundancy of another outside provider, but again this should provide a savings uh to the municipality as well as a very viable service. And the other one is
just something that while speaking with their shared service coordinator, he mentioned we're one of only a few municipalities that had never signed on to the Office of Emergency Management and the sharing of county-owned um emergency and non-emergency equipment. Uh we know through OEM we've been able
to borrow things during emergencies, but this allows us to have access to excavators, bulldozers, um light stations, you know, remote light trailers, um in addition to what we already have here in the town, as well as, you know, bar barriers, barricades.
So things that, um for no fee, it's a no-brainer to not join on. >> Right. Now that you said equipment, heavy equipment, >> some excavators, bulldozers, correct? Light towers. Is that like a a list on a >> they have a county maintains a list and
it's based on availability and obviously we would have to you know put in a request to borrow it and or any if you should need it it's on an as needed basis. >> Okay. Great. Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Anybody else have any questions on these? >> No. >> Okay.
