Call to order. Good evening everyone. The date is July 22nd. The time is 6 o'clock p.m. And I would like to call this public meeting of the Rochelle Park Township Committee to order. First of the open public meeting act. Notice that the July 22nd meeting was published on the township website on January 7th in the Burton Record and Herald News on January 11th and in the hour town on
January 22nd. Notice the close session meeting was published on the township website on July 17th. Copies all notes are on file with the township clerk and have been made available to the public. Roll call, please. >> Muchi >> here. Judge Coella >> here. Deputy Winsley >> here. >> Deputy Mayor Schwinsky will be a few minutes and mayor
>> here. Thank you so much. At this time, I'll ask for a motion to adopt resolution 26-1199 authorizing town committee to enter close session to discuss legal issues, litigation, potential litigation, contract negotiations, attorney client privilege matters and personnel matters. Topics include shared service agreement
with Midland School personnel building department, police department, DPW, legal advice regarding land acquisition, legal advice regarding reimbursements for coaches, legal advice regarding El Acadero. Do I have a motion to enter close session? >> Motion. >> Have a second.
>> All in favor? I. Any opposed? Thank you so much. The town committee will now enter close session. Return at approximately 7:00 p.m. to conduct further business. We are now in close session. All righty. Can I get a motion to come out of close session? >> Motion. >> Have a second.
>> Second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? >> All right. Please rise and join us for the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Please remain standing for a moment of silence. Thank you. May be seated. All right. At this time, I would like to invite Chief Dean Pinto to the microphone for the police department's
recognition of officers. At this time, I'd like to ask George Orwell, Brian Monaco, and Paul Merso up to Vegas with you, please. As well as the mayor, police, if you want to come down on township committee. Let's go. >> So, I just want to mention that one of
our former dispatchers, Andrew Gorman, could not be here tonight, but uh we will see that he gets his commendation. And I just want to tell you a little bit about what um you know, he's being recognized for. It's the meritorious service award and that's an award for a highly unusual accomplishment under adverse conditions with some degree of hazard to life and limb to the nominee
or where death or injury to a third party is prevented. As I tell the story, you'll understand why uh Andrew is being presented with that award. Um his taking of information providing it to the officers on the road was complete and in real time. I happened to be listening to the radio and heard it unfold. His actions helped this person armed with an
illegal gun be apprehended before it led to an injury or death. Um, normally we like to show videos and pictures, but because this case has yet to be prosecuted, we couldn't do any of that. So, you'll have to listen to me tell you the story. So, on May 7th of this year at approximately 1940 hours at 7:40
p.m., dispatch received a report from a Shopright employee who observed a handgun fall from the waistband of a male individual walking through the parking lot. Dispatch provided responding officers with a detailed description of the male actor and the female accompanying him. Dispatch continued to update responding units as
this male and female went in and out of several local businesses as patrol units were responding. Within minutes after being dispatched, patrol units arrived and canvased the area and saw from the exterior the two individuals matching the description seated inside the Dunkin Donuts at 200 West Sage Street seated
with another male party. Without any hesitation, these all three officers entered the establishment. Upon seeing the officers, the armed male actor attempted to flee towards the restroom. The officers quickly intervened, gaining physical control of the actor and preventing him from barricading himself
inside. A physical struggle ensued as officers attempted to place him in handcuffs. Body worn camera footage, and I could assure you I've seen it, shows the actor repeatedly attempting to reach into his waistband while actively resisting arrest. Despite this, the officers successfully affected the
arrest without injury to the suspect, themselves, or any bystanders. A ghost handgun, which bears no serial number and is modified to function as an automatic firearm, was recovered from the actor's waistband. A subsequent investigation by patrol resulted in the additional arrest of two individuals who
had been present with the actor. Those individuals were charged with fraud and theft related offenses. During processing, this male actor who was in possession of the illegal firearm stated to officers, "You're lucky I didn't get to my gun. It wouldn't have been it would have been tragic." This statement
affirms the belief that had the officers not responded with immediate decisive action, the incident could have resulted in the loss of life or serious injury to both the officers and members of the public. These officers knowingly stepped into danger to protect our community, demonstrating exceptional courage. For
that reason, the actions of these three officers merits a gallantry star, which is an award for an act of distinguished bravery in the arrest of a person who is a major threat to the community andor the officer. So, Walter, I have plaques and ribbons. If you guys could help, that would be great.
>> Absolutely. Thank you. >> There you are, sir. Congratulations. Thank you for your service. Congratulations. Thank you. and again we have Andrew Gorman's award that we will take one you Bye-bye.
>> Yep. Yep. >> Okay, that's good. Thank you guys. Thank you. >> You was dressed. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. >> All righty.
We're now going to move on to a presentation uh and discussion regarding the township's transition to the Burton County Public Safety Operations Center. So, I'll call upon Chief Pinto and Lieutenant Kakowski >> and Captain Deprada as well.
>> Sure. I missed something. So, um please take a seat. Yes. >> So, I'll quickly give a summation just so you have an idea of what's been going on since the the date of the resolution. Basically, we've been meeting as a internally with the department as well as with the appropriate authority which
includes the administrator, the mayor and the police commissioner. Um so again the command staff myself captain credit lieutenant Kakowski other members of the department um specifically Sergeant Shacken Sergeant Cobb Detective Rune have attended numerous meetings with our vendors as well uh which obviously we know we need to do in order to convert
the lobby bring in the camera system change some of the locking mechanisms and you know it's we've shared thousands of pages or at least hundreds of pages. You didn't bring the binder did you? Um and the the police commissioner saw the binder yesterday. you know, a binder
full of uh documents that the county dispatch asked us for. Um I I think we're ahead of schedule. Uh tonight, you have numerous resolutions on that are going to allow us to move forward with a lot of that vendor activity that we need to get done on again. And you know, all of this while the process has been
tedious, it's been um you know, and Eddie's actually been working on his off days as well. We're doing it knowing that you know, the safety of our residents comes down, right? We don't want any change in the service they receive after picking up the phone and that's our goal. So, uh, we're working towards that. I don't see why that's
going to be an issue. Um, again, you know, whatever happens, we don't want the hiccups and even if and I'm sure there's going to be some internal hiccups. We'll we'll have to make some policy adjustments, etc. The county was on board. Again, um, Miss Judge Cavell attended the meeting just yesterday where we met with the county and uh, you
know, we actually tked each other. They're like, you know, this is going to make us better. Some of your ideas are awesome. We, you know, we were complimented on our our motor vehicle stop policy on some of our other internal policies that the countyy's going to actually start using with other municipalities. and we had saw some things that they have that will make our uh police department better. Um so I
don't know what else I could share with you today, but we're here to answer any questions you might have. >> All right. Thank you so much. Any questions committee? >> So, uh chief, great work. I saw the great work that you did. Also, uh the
tenant uh I saw the binder which was we have it here as well as now the county has it has all the policies and regulations and procedures. >> That was just another milestone that we reached with the county was having that binder with with all those policies and procedures in there and that was a
additional milestone that you reached that was >> and that they gave you a large checklist. I know that was reading off yesterday and I believe that whole check list is now completed. That part is complete. Yes. Transition. >> I mean for the transition. >> Yeah. That there there's many parts.
There's many milestones through that. That is just one part of of Yeah, that was Thank you. I know it's a lot of work that you guys have been doing and Captain's going to volunteer as well as the chief. And uh working in this transition moving forward seems to be going a little smoother than maybe people have thought and I think that
there are a lot of new equipment. And one one thing I did hear yesterday is that oh we didn't have that before and now we have it coming to Rochelle Park. Am I correct? >> Yeah, there's some mapping software changes that we upgraded to um better delineate posts having only maybe 30
blocks on either post but it'll be on the county's mapping software. So they're just actual that's post A versus post B. >> Okay. And I see that there's extra um cameras and stuff that'll be put in that are part of the whole project. Yeah, the county agreed to at least um have access
to our salad report, right? It's, you know, to make more, you know, arresting armed subjects who say, you know, if I could have grabbed a gun, I would have killed you. That doesn't stop once you have somebody in handcuffs and told their, you know, so basically their lives in the jail, that threat doesn't end. So, for that reason and other many
reasons, for numerous, issues like that, we've asked the county that they be able to open our salary. So again, I also don't have to actually get out of the car, go get a button, get to go inside, open the door, and then come back, get back in the car, leaving the crisper alone. So just um some of those things we're adding a camera or two into the
salad port, obviously into the lobby area where members of the public come in, they'll be immediately on camera and view of the call/dispatch >> and they're going to be able to close also right behind >> it and then basically remain locked. >> And I think there was something about the lobby also with the
>> Yes, it's a lobby. as well. All right. >> All right. Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> I have some. >> Okay. >> Uh chief, some se several members of the police department had expressed concern that the transition would make the officers less safe. Right. Based on your professional judgments today, do you
believe that the Bergen Pock provides resources and capabilities necessary to safely dispatch emergency services for Rush Park? >> The dispatching? Absolutely. >> We do. Um, a second question, we recently approved the funding for the radio and communication upgrades to support the
burden piece. Can you explain what residents are receiving for that investment and how the upgrades improve our officer safety and emergency communications? >> Sure. I can tell you I'm no radio geek. Um, I'm a very honest person. Um, but I, you know, as for John St. John from
Burton County, um, is the radio guru of Burton County. Uh, one of the reasons he suggested Motorola radios was because we have some known dead spots here in attachment. I can tell you right now the apartment building street, the basement of Shopright, the Roman hotel is notoriously horrible. We just had a call
yesterday. Sergeant Colleen was calling in couldn't hear him on our permanent legacy system. These radios on the county system will limit those spots. Right. Last question is, how will the new radio system improve communication between Rochaw Park officers,
neighboring police departments, fire departments, EMS, and Bergen County during our major emergencies? >> Can't answer that. We've used the county uh through OEM before. The fact that we're going to be sharing frequency with Maywood um I think is a good thing. that
we for generations going back to my days on the road have kind of responded you know simultaneously to neighbor's calls and and there's you know they ours so that I think is one benefit um but you know what we did learn by going to
CSI commissioner the other day was um and I didn't know this prior the new CAD and RMS system under CSI which is the county vendor will allow us to see as long as they turn it on access to other municipalities that are part of the county their records. So we would do an
age search of John Catino and he was stopped in Loi Maywood. >> Yeah. Never as a question but I didn't know that. But my point being we'll be able to see some of that information that never before we would have been able to get others through then
utilizing infosare which is a county based system that which is inherently difficult to manage. That's all I have. Thank you. >> Awesome. Anybody else? >> I just want to thank you for bringing that up. The the radios that we have now, this was brought up yesterday. Uh
will be going to possibly a different department. Is that what you're looking at? >> Listen, the police department would like to maintain the um what's the word I'm looking for? I guess keep that the legacy radio system works, right? It's been working for us for 30 years minus
those few dead spots. what we've been able to do through UCCC laws when building office put in tiny little mobile repeaters that eliminate those test spots but um they will still work you know while the county radio systems obviously fast and approved eliminates the test spots outright these legacy
radios would work very well for whether it be search teams or if we have special details we assign them to you know um different department to utilize right now DPW operates on all the MS frequencies right we never got rid of
that. We've maintained it at a minimal cost, maybe $3 to $6,000 a year for police, fire, EMS, and computers um for maintenance cost. I I think it's always been worth DW radio, have the EMS, and they always use
ours as well because we'll be on a different frequency. So, I know circuit shadow. It makes sense. They do, right? Do pretty um you know, damage assessments. They go out they they they conduct rescue our shelter operations. So they're at remote locations, but it's
nice that Columbus is helping out during evacuations or schools. So to have that radio system working and and utilized by them would be great. I just ask that you know the police still here 24/7. Leave the radios in the police car and as we need them for emergency, we can throw them in the back of one of our cars
vehicles and bring that down to the EOC. >> Right. And I know >> a lot of >> I know that No, that's okay. I know that you had mentioned it yesterday too about the somebody from POC possibly being here if we had to have an emergency. >> Yeah, I had asked that question and by
the way, thank you for bring that up. So, we are going to be doing some cross trainining. Uh Pock is going to send the dispatcher that they expect to be working here for our our team members to Ro Park to be trained on how we do things so they can kind of transition that over to the county and we look
forward to that. So he deserves to this supervisor. I had asked the question, you know, you know, we flood, you live here, you get it. Um, you know, is there any way we maybe can get one of your representatives into our EOC, emergency operations in the event of a mass, police, whatot. Um and and again it just
helps because you know we're used to that you know whether it be a police department officer and there's times where we've had you know walking dispatch sitting in the room as well and whether it be you know jotting down information or kind of you know those guys and girls are trained you know there's a lot of radio chatter they hear
the things that the average person does. So we look forward to work with them hopefully we don't need it but have you place you know have it not need it and need it not have it. So, Chief, I understand that there's going to be a few more meetings that are coming up for this. >> I don't foresee any less than maybe
another 5 to 10. 5 to 10, right? >> I think it's going to happen. Yeah. And again, I want it where whether it's the 4year-old child that's calling 2011 331515 because grandma's not moving off the couch or the 8-year-old grandmother that's fouryear-olds at the bottom of the pool. When they pick up that phone
and call, we need to get people there fast. And that that's all our goal is at this point. And the same with the counties because we want to make sure that everybody's on the same page and if it takes 10 12 20 more meetings we'll have >> and I mean like stated less and J stated
too that the residents are going to feel safe. That's the main concern right that was the biggest concern. >> Your and that's absolutely our goal is to primary goal is to protect and that's great. Our responsibility is to keep our
residents safe. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Anybody else? >> I don't want to beat a dead horse, Chief. So, I'll just, you know, I got a couple of things and if I'm beating a dead horse, just be feel free to tell me. Just I just kind of just to get a
little bit more clarity. Uh I know when um our first responders visited POC on March 20th and then you know we had a a bunch of subsequent meetings after that and including the township meeting newsletter and just going back and forth and ultimately voting on it May 13th.
Based on your involvement, does that reflect the transparent and deliberate public process? And if you want to explain I know >> um I think a township committee meeting is the open and transparent process. >> No, I I completely agree with you.
>> Yeah, that's what you meet where the public gets to see the business of the township taking place. So, >> do you do you based on those meetings do you though do you think that there's any statements regarding officer safety, local knowledge, dispatch operations or technology that you believe should be
clarified or updated? Again, I I wish our core members were going to work in the county. We're not choosing to do so. That's familiarity won't be there. Um my goal is to make sure that the county works towards getting so basically what all the
residents might have heard and again you can based on what you're I'm just speaking broadly paving with a broad brush based on what they might have heard through social media or through maybe their neighbors. We just want to make sure that they they know >> from me, the chief of police never said.
So I I encourage every resident to call, come speak to me. I will break it down and then let you know that police department will serve your needs because at the end of the day, that's who serves the people. Um, and our main goal is to keep everyone safe. >> Every answer. Thank you. Appreciate it.
>> Anybody else? Yeah, I got a couple questions now that we're further further along with this with this um service shared service. Um can you explain the operational difference between maintaining a for
dispatcher operation and having access to a regional dispatch center staffed by dozens of dispatchers? How how does that improve the redundancy, resiliency, and the ability to manage multiple emergencies at the same time? >> So, I don't want to dodge the question.
I can just tell you not we're not in yet. Talk to anyone after September 1st as we, you know, go through any rolling payments. Um, I've only known this system. Um, you know, I I think once we're up and running, I'd love to answer that question and give you how I can see the
operational differences and if they're approved. and we talk about one of the map software. So I that's only because once you see this up and running I'm hoping that we you know I'll be able to give you a full answer rather than just one injection.
>> Okay, fair enough. I have another question too. Just one more. When dispatchers are unavailable because of illness, vacation, training, whatever other reasons, how is dispatch coverage maintained >> currently? >> Mhm.
>> And how it's been. So if the dispatchers out typically would offer it to either another dispatcher for overtime if it wasn't if it was a minimum staff level police officer we offer it to another dispatch to cover and or demons if not police officer take
>> so I guess along that lines how often did that require overtime for officers covering dispatch respons I mean I wouldn't have statistically I mean generally we would only we we automatically would fill it with PDM dispatcher because Their rates are far lower as soon as that dispatcher was
out. We would never fill with dispatch or overtime unless there was less than three officers working. So it was it was rare that that there was overtime for the deaths. >> Okay, that's all I have. Just a few questions for me, Chief. Um I
recall, you know, in April, uh a lot of residents heard concerns that if that someone would call 911 and say, "I'm at the sand pit." And a county dispatcher wouldn't know where to send help. Is that an accurate concern uh after everything that you've heard so far? And can you explain how PTO's GPS CAD
mapping and technology will identify callers and get help to them quickly? So beyond the GPS and the CAD mapping as part of the CAD mapping, we've made it very clear that we're going to give all of those nickname places to the county dispatching. I was speaking with the team there yesterday. They will actually
upload it to their mapping software. the call takers unfamiliar with Roshaw Park, they will be able to go into that database and and see that you know valleys right to the county. >> So all those all those nicknames all those terms are going to be uploaded to
the system that resolution >> Rocky Ridge that's going in there too. >> I forward that to us right away and then you will get it over to the county. >> Beautiful. Thank you so much. Um police lobby. So residents also heard
that they would lose immediate access to help at police headquarters after dispatch transition. Is there routinely a police officer at headquarters after 4 p.m. today? >> No, actually it wasn't until 6 p.m. an hour compensator time is we haven't
dispatcher working. >> So there's originally not a police officer at headquarters during the night during the evening. >> Correct. Correct. >> At all. At all. Um, all right. So, if I were to to So,
you couldn't tell if I were to Oprah the cameras from police headquarters overnight, I won't see any police officers walking around, but there's there's times where I can't guarantee that you're going to see somebody. Okay? I just can't. Um, our minimum staffing is our minimum
staffing. Not say publicly, but you know, there's enough bodies to the posts and provide road security. That's that's the main contraction. >> Residents also heard Rochelle Park would lose access to Midland School and Township camera systems. Is that
accurate? >> The county has agreed to to uh to to watch our cameras. So as long as I give them access to those cameras, create use them, they they are willing to to those cameras. >> Okay. >> Great. So just just follow up to that
question and those cameras are still those live streams are still accessible from the police department. They're not going away, >> correct? >> So it'll be redundant. Well, if there's somebody in the building, >> if there's somebody in the building
>> and the Cleo that's there also has access to the cameras. >> Correct. He has access to the school >> and he will after September 1st as well. >> What if that doesn't change their mind? I can't answer that. They're there since their cameras, but my guess is yes.
>> Got it. Anything from anyone else? Chie, you're talking about the different um uh nicknames that were we talked about this yesterday with the different nicknames that are going and you know people concerned about the dispatchers not knowing where to go. Um
I look at it this way, our police officers know our town. So if somebody says to one of our the dispatcher says to one of our police officers, they're at Carl Field. I believe our police officers and this is of my opinion know
our town enough to say I know where far out field is. I mean I don't know even you know the newer ones which probably we're not that big of a town. So I know the concern that you're talking about with dispatchers not knowing it but I do believe our police officers know where
to go when to go. If I said, you know, go touch alley, which is, you know, >> if the information is transmitted to the officer on the road, >> if they know our town, >> correct? They know our street, they will know where, >> right? That's what I'm I'm trying to understand because, you know, everybody's worried about the dispatcher
knowing it. Well, I think our police officers know it more than any dispatcher to be there because I remember sitting here listening to a dispatcher saying that, you know, there were different situations. Our police officers are the ones who know our residents, our town. That's my opinion
and they know where to go. So while POC does look at that hopefully and I know that I believe he's a supervisor of PO he I mean he lives he lives on he knows it too and I believe there's some others too but our police officers I believe
know and they know where to go to get there where to go. I'm hoping that's correct. >> Correct. They given that information they won't know where to go. >> Thank you. >> Anything else? Awesome. Chief, Captain, Lieutenant, thank you so much. Really
appreciate it. See you guys soon. Thank you to our Rochelle Park Police Department. Thank you for families for coming. We really appreciate it and we'll see you next time. >> All right. Any correspondence to be read into the record? >> Okay. Fair. Uh, Police Chief Pinto has
forwarded three letters of recommendation from various members of the public and leaders of organizations recognizing members of the Rochelle Park Police Department for their outstanding service. And for the sake of brevity, I will read the letters in summary to highlight the officers and their achievements. The first letter
recommends Sergeant uh Ryan Burke and Officer Chris Salivia for their professionalism, compassion, and supports provided to a family during the sudden passing of a loved one. The second letter recognizes Christopher Kiska for his prompt and thorough investigation of a motor vehicle hit and
run, resulting in the quick identification of the responsible driver and praise for his commitment to excellence. And the third letter commends Officer Todd Sterling for his assistance in coordinating the safe transportation of 44 buses supporting
FIFA World Cup to 2026 operations, including his efforts to secure additional escort assistance from neighboring municipalities. And we congratulate these officers on these well-deserved commendations and thank them for their dedication to the residents of Rochelle Park.
>> Thank you so much, Gina. All right, moving right along. Adoption of minutes. May I have a motion to approve the close session minutes of June 24th, 2026? Do I have a motion? >> Motion. >> Do I have a second? >> Let's do You know what? Let's be even
more efficient. Let's do all of them in one shot. Can I get a motion to adopt the following minutes? Close session June 24, 2026. Public session June 24, 2026. And special meeting July 8th, 2026. Do I have a motion? >> Motion. >> Second. >> Second.

>> Committee Judge Carella. Committee Smith. >> Yes. >> Deputy Mayor Chowinsky. >> Yes. >> Mayor Miller. >> Yes. All right. We're on to reports. Let's start with our administrator, Samantha Carpio. >> Uh good evening, Mayor and Township Committee, members of the public. Uh
over the past two weeks, the administration has continued to focus on several uh major initiatives, including the POCR um transition uh that you heard from our police department earlier. I'm happy to report that we remain on schedule and we
continue to work closely with all parties to ensure a seamless transition uh with little disrupt disruption as possible. Uh in addition to that, we continue to also work closely with the Paramis municipal court for that transition. Um we are currently working
with our municipal court um clerk and ad and uh administrator to uh make sure the transition is smooth and doing gradual uh deliveries of documentation over to the new um parame.
Uh I also wanted to make mention that uh last week I attended the Bergen County community stakeholders meeting with our township engineer and our OEM coordinator regarding the proposed improvements to the Market Street Bridge and the intersection of Market Street, Essex Street, and Rochelle Park uh
Rochelle Avenue. The meeting provided an update on the project's progress, proposed roadway and bridge improvements, including ADA accessibility upgrades, and the anticipated project timeline anticipated
approximately in 2030 to be completed. Um, but we will continue to monitor the project closely and keep the governing body and public informed as additional information becomes available. I had requested from the uh county a copy of
the PowerPoint presentation and will be shared on our website once it is available. Um finally uh we continue to oversee our grant funded projects, coordinating with our professionals on v various capital improvements, continuing
to um search and research additional grants that may be available to help offset some of these costs. Um, and then I would also like to thank our department heads as we implemented monthly meetings uh with the administration to kind of get what the
needs are um and updates from each department uh moving forward. And that's all I have. Mayor, >> thank you so much. Let's pass it over to Committeeman Sean Smith. >> Yeah, I mean I it's pretty uh pretty quiet on the home front here. I will say
that we are starting our adult softball league which will be starting August 9th. That is the date I've heard recently unless Mr. Matson in the audience has something to add to that. But uh we have five teams. Um it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
We're getting sponsors ready now. The games will be at Matthews Field and it looks like it's going to be on Sunday mornings, although there could be some Saturday night games depending on umps and what we can do. Um,
other than that, anything I'm looking at you, Walter, access for all? Nothing. That next access for all meeting will be August 19th. And oh, I will say the next WCK meeting will be August 11th, not the 4th because of National Night Out. So,
National Night Out is the 4th. The Wreck meeting will be the following Tuesday. And pretty much, unless you're looking at me, you're like, I'm forgetting something at all. It's a great report. Thank you so much, Mr. Smith. >> All right, committee woman, take it away.
>> Thank you. All right, so there's no meetings for the seniors in the month of July or August, but yes, I forgot this one is tomorrow night is tomorrow afternoon rather at 1:30 is the movie. >> Oh, that breakfast is sponsoring for the
seniors. Um, and that it starts at You're welcome and thank you to recreation for doing this. It starts at 1:30 and they will be serving popcorn. uh order will also be served. I think the the movie they're going to see is Sony. I believe that's the one they
chose. There's four of them, but don't quote me on that. Uh library. So, the other library will be closing starting 7:26 26 um for the month of August, a little bit of July in the month of August on Sundays only and we'll reopen
again in September. Um, they also started off a great uh summer reading kickoff uh basically with dinosaur themes and they still have a lot of the dinosaur themes going on. Please always check the website for the updates on that. Uh, as far as the police
department, during the month of June, the police department answered 1,29 calls for service. We investigated 49 motor vehicle crashes that first responders on 88 EMS calls made 89 motor vehicle stops, seven arrests and issued eight criminal charges and 226 motor
vehicle and town on the substances and violation issues. Um the police department did work along with at middle school um and uh did the lead for the fifth grade and they were part of that and they did the baseball game with the lead. That's part of the whole program
they did. They took the trip as well as um had a pizza party and um they were also at the graduation for the eighth graders. We have um a couple officers that did great mandated training. Few of them
were down with the FIFA World Cup and East Rutherford the detective bureau I think uh was assisted had assisted by the county prosecutor's office on the Howard Avenue robbery criminal enterprise investigation and five criminals were arrested um with

>> Yes. I can provide uh three updates on the uh well, now three updates on the toll for litigation. Uh as the committee is aware and I believe the public, there is one action pending in federal court in which uh toer has sued the township
committee over the uh different issues involving the redevelopment area. Are the that is being handled through the our insurance coverage? The the attorney for representing the municipality has filed a motion to
dismiss all the allegations as uh it's our position that the complaint has no merit. That will take some time before the judge addresses it. But the good news on that is you also filed a motion to state discovery which of course the
discovery process involves a lot of time and a lot of cost in terms of the legal fees that may be incurred and the judge has entered an order staying all discovery until the motion is to dismiss is decided. The other action is our complaint
against Tuler for violating the uh redevelopment agreement. And with respect to that action, a summary judgement motion has been filed. To has filed their response actually today. That matter is before judge guy and I
believe will be heard oral argument at least will be heard in early October. A third action involves the payment of their pilot uh of of their pilot for all the uh developments in the redevelopment
area. They contend one amount is owed. We contend another amount is owed. We also contend that the Mazda rental revenue is not part of the redevelopment area. that has a motion uh pending with oral argument returnable on uh July
30th. So that uh that brings us all up to date on the three actions now pending involving uh TOA. Awesome. Thank you so much, John. All right, it's time for new business.
So, uh, Miss Michelle Balac, uh, from the library board has tendered her resignation, uh, thereby creating eight vacancies, uh, and we thank Miss Balac for her service. So, at this time, I will be appointing Linda Mazone to the Rochelle Park Library Board.
Congratulations, Linda. Anything else for new business from the Township Committee? All right, it's time for public comment. May I have a motion to open it up to the public? Motion. Have >> a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? I. Any opposed?
>> All right. Public comments now open. Each speaker will be limited to five minutes and one speaking opportunity. Please state your name and address for the record. I just want to invite if you want to just come and take a seat at one of these chairs. Please feel free to do so. And thank you so much.
>> You sure? >> Bob, why don't you come take a seat right there? So then we'll go from here to here. How's that sound? >> We'll get you on deck. >> Get you on deck. >> Sorry. >> Take your number. >> Yep. And the bullpen. Okay. Take a
number. Good evening, mayor and council. My name is Ivy Kaplan. I live at 165 Central Avenue in Roshaw Park and we continue to have issues with the company across the street at 168 Central Avenue.
First of all, I'd like to thank the mayor and Samantha as well for all their diligence and hard work. They've really been very helpful. Also, they don't seem to listen to the police at all. police have been there several times telling them they cannot
park on the street and still want to park on the street where there's no parking. I did suggest to the mayor um going through the DOT because it is a public it is a a a town >> county >> county road. It is a county road and
they have to go to the DOT to put in a sign, one or two signs stating there is no no parking. No parking just like Maywood has central act halfway through going turns into Maywood. They have a sign saying no parking at any time. We
don't have that. I don't know why but that street absolutely you cannot park. This goes on every single morning. Cars pulling in, cars pulling out. their their drivers parking on the street.
Tenants and residents cannot pull out of their driveways because of the through traffic. Police were there last week. They told them you cannot park out on the street. Whatever they told the police, it went away. This morning, another incident. I've been taking
pictures, taking license plates down, giving it to the police officers. I can't do that anymore because now it's gotten to the point where they're threatening me and I can't have that. Uh this morning, my incident, I happened
to be going down the stairs and I I noticed the two cars and I I sent an email to the mayor, deputy mayor, police chief, the captain, everyone has it, Samantha as well. And she responded, "Thank you very much."
I told the guy, "You cannot park there." They ignore me. Fine. I take the guy's license plate. The guy says to me, "You took picked up my car." I said, "Yes, the police are coming." "Well, I know where you live." That's what he said to me. That does not make me feel
comfortable at all. I don't like being threatened. Last week, one of the drivers driving away cursed at me. The other one told me I needed to mind my own business. Young people that have zero respect. They don't have respect for me and they don't have respect for
the police department. They don't care about the town ordinances at all. I wish and I know you have the ability. The town council does have the ability to either change your hours of operation or we broke their license altogether. I did all my research. You do have that
ability. You have to do something. You cannot let this continue the way it is. I I I do not feel comfortable living in this town anymore. I just don't. You have no idea who half of these people are and where they're coming from. some from from come from New York. They're all very young. They're all very
disrespectful. I don't know what else to do. I've done everything the police have told me to do. Take pictures, take license plates, and now look where I am. Now I have to worry for the next few days until my husband gets back from Greece. What is this guy going to do now? This is my
main concern. And I'm very nervous about it. I did speak to the mayor and he is definitely trying to help the as best he can. I don't know what else to do. It's It's up to the town council at this point. I can't put myself in danger anymore. I
just can't. They don't listen. They don't care. They shouldn't even be there in the first place. They should not be operating at all hours of the night, waking up neighbors. My next door neighbor told the police officer 11:00 p.m. 3:00 a.m. This is not even coming
from me. She told the police officer he has this morning he recorded the whole conversation with the manager and he told me to stay away from them basically and he I gave him the license plate number of the guy the guy who threatened
me this morning and he did call it in maybe because I'm a woman I don't know but it's very disrespectful and it shouldn't be so I'm just asking you whatever you can do to resolve this issue. This keeps going on and on. Here
we are a month later, same situation and I'm back again. And this is all I have to say. >> Yeah. >> Thank you, >> Ira. Thanks so much for for coming. I I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. And just to update the township
committee and the public, uh I has been calling the police as soon as she sees it, but by the time the police get there, um the delivery driver has in fact already left. Um, we do know that the uh construction official is issuing a summon
uh as well as the administrator has reached out to the county about no parking signs. Um, Mr. Scoutino, is there anything else that you recommend at this time? >> Well, the I I hate to put this burden on
you, but the fact of the matter is for the police to issue a ticket, they have to see it. But you have the right to file your complaint that you saw, especially if you took a photograph. I mean, that's evidence. So, you're I know you took it with your phone, but
that's able to get produced. So, if you took a photograph of the vehicle parked illegally, you can go to the police station and file the complaint yourself. Now, the burden of that is that you have to appear in municipal court to testify
and present the evidence against the driver >> and that's fine. And I have been taking pictures. The police officers told me this morning to stay away from them threatened anymore. No, I'm what I'm saying is is that you on those pictures you took, provided they're within the
certain time period, you could go tomorrow, for example, and saying, "I want to issue a complaint for illegal parking or parking in an area not pro that's prohibited, and you can pursue that yourself." And again, I feel bad
telling you that you have to do it, but unless the police get there and see it themselves, they can't write the ticket. You have to write the ticket. the violation will be issued uh provided of course the police do the work necessary to identify the driver of the vehicle
because that's who would get the ticket, the driver, not the owner. So they would have to uh get the information as to the owner of the vehicle and issue the ticket because you obviously are not going to know the owner in terms of them telling you I know where you live. That
can be considered a terroristic threat. So you may want to discuss that with the police department because that would be another complaint. In fact, that would probably start at superior court because terroristic threats are not considered initially a municipal matter. More than
likely, it would get them sent back to municipal court as a fourthderee offense. So that's actually a criminal violation. So you could consider acting on that complaint as in terms of what else the municipality can do.
There it was a resolution for approval that the mayor had s and and the administrator had sent to me and he is in violation of the approval and the representations that were made for that business owner to obtain the approval
and I imagine that's what he's looking to enforce. So that's the other action that the municipality can and is taking with respect to what is occurring. That's really the extent of that what can be done at this time other than also
asking the police department perhaps through the police chief because uh we can't tell them what to do but perhaps he can have what they call a standing order that to patrol that area a little more regularly and of course issue the
tickets if they see the violation. >> That's all wonderful to hear. However, months ago, I went to the police station wanting to file a complaint, and they said to me, "You don't have to do that. The police, they'll take care of everything. That's what I was told."
Okay. The captain knows about it. The chief of police know about it. Do you really think they care? I don't think they care. I honestly do not think they care. Stand police officers all hours of the night. They're short staffed. This morning it took the officer 15 minutes to get there because only only two
officers on duty at 8:00 in the morning. Only two and they were on call. So relying on the police department. I don't think so. >> That's who has to enforce it. I I >> I'm sorry, but they do not enforce it. I'm not trying to be rude. You don't
understand my position. They do not enforce it. I have spoken to the captain. I have spoken to the chief OF POLICE. WHAT ELSE am I supposed to do? I can't take them by the hand and tell them what to do. I can't get them there fast enough. They're on call with other calls. What do you want me to do? >> No, no one's other than what I already
told you. No one's asking me to do anything else. I think the administrator and the mayor are going to request they can't order. They're going to request the police department to be more diligent with respect to this issue. But there's laws and the police chief is
in charge of the police department and nobody can tell the police chief how to run the day-to-day operations of the police. They can ask, they can request strongly, but those are the answers. I I I understand you don't like the answers, but that's >> because they don't work. That's why
because I've done every single thing I was supposed to do. I spoke to the chief of police. All I hear about is we're sending guys at all hours of the night. This is the story I hear over and over and over and over again. I'm done. I am not going to do anything else. If they
break the law, they break the law. I'm not going to get myself into trouble anymore. I was already told to stay away from them today. I am not going to go the extra route and cause troubles for myself. I live here. They don't >> Well, nobody's asking you to do that. >> I I I totally understand your
frustration. This should not be happening to you or your neighbors. We're extremely concerned. Again, we're doing everything we can on our end on the municipal side, but I do think I would the next step is and I'll set this up with you. Let's have a meeting with us and the police chief about next steps.
>> That would work very nicely. >> Just I just in case so you don't want to have them see you take a picture. >> Where is your house in correlation? Are you directly across the street? >> Do you have a Ring camera? >> No, I don't. >> Might be a good investment. Put a Ring
camera by your door. Then all >> I have a Ring doorbell, but I don't have a Ring camera. That's a good >> But you said you said you already took pictures. >> Yeah, she's got >> I will I am directly across the street. >> Yeah, but just like video walk across the street and take their
license. I walk across the street just to help the police officers. >> But like 3:00 in the morning of those early times where you and they're not allowed to. So, just for full context, based on the resolution from 2016, and please correct me if I'm wrong, uh, administrator, they're not allowed to do
deliveries before 6:00 a.m. and after 8:00 a.m. >> And then that uh continues again from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. >> So, anything outside those hours gives the construction official the ability to provide them with a summon, >> right? They they can't come at all hours
of the night and wake up neighbors. They can't. I mean, the the parking is one issue. The other big issue is the noise. They they are breaking the town ordinance of noise and the police do not have one of those devices. >> They don't need the device. >> They don't need the device.
>> We were we were we that was too cumbersome and and almost impossible to enforce. So now the standard is different. That ordinance was amended by the township committee last year and they really just have to be a certain distance away from the property and be able to hear the noise to be able to
write the songs. But again, they have to be there. >> I understand. I just I just emphasize they have to to enforce it. They have to see it. >> So I next steps let's set up a meeting for next week with the chief and I will follow up with you. Thank you so much for being here. I'm so sorry.
>> Thank you very much. I appreciate it. >> Thank you. Absolutely. >> Thank you. >> Mr. Bob Davidson. >> Hi. How are you? I attended that meeting last night with the county. Um to be perfectly honest with you, it's the exact same meeting that I attended when
I was uh employed by the township. >> Wow. like eight or nine years ago. It's just that they have to redo everything all over again because there were issues with the uh the the house on Marshall and uh Marshall and as extreme the
historic building. So I just want you to all understand I'm not sure if any of you attended the meeting or or attended the other the the for the public officials or not. I'm not sure who >> uh Samantha was at the meeting on Tuesday, >> but I don't know how much you know about
it. So the whole point of the matter is is that there is going this is not going to help anybody um that's going to be um north of Essex Street as far as flooding is concerned. There is absolutely nothing that they're
doing here with this bridge that's going to be able to eliminate the issue or even cut the issue down. So I think you really should know about that. Um that that was brought up again. I didn't bring it up was another resident that did bring that up last night. The other
thing that came out at that meeting last night and I'm not sure if it was reported or not is that um because I had asked is they're going to have to do detours uh because they're going to have to take the bridge out and so there's going to be some major detours in that area. So I had mentioned in order to try
to help with the detours if they would be doing Rochelle and railroad when would that be happening? But I'm not sure if it was mentioned here or not or if you even know, but they're going out to bid at at the end of the year or sometime a little later on in this year.
So that's some great news. I mean, it's taken forever for them to do that. So that was good news. I'm not sure if you know what they're going on. >> Well, and Bob, tell the public how long has that been going on for? I mean >> Oh, it's been going on. It's been going on forever. Actually, longer than the
this the Market Street Bridge, >> right? in all honesty. >> Was that before you were administrator when those conversations started or was when you were administrator? >> No, no, I was the administrator also for that. But uh yeah, but anyways, but either way, >> great news. >> Yes, that that's really good news. I'm surprised you really didn't don't even
know about it. >> You do? >> Oh, you're talking about they because they're doing the extension of 17. They were going to be starting to live with >> Well, 17 has nothing to do with Market Street. was part of that. You're talking
about Railroad Avenue expans. Yes. >> So they were talking about that as being pushed out and they were talking about that the whole time. >> Yeah. Well, again, what I'm talking about, we're going to get funding for the Rochelle Avenue and Railwood Avenue. So, and that was that came right from
Joe from the from the county. Um, the other thing I just want to I'm a little bit perturbed about quite frankly was the last time when I saw the the previous meeting there wasn't supposed to be another meeting until the 22nd
which is tonight. Um, it wasn't until last Thursday, just going through the me uh uh the the computer, the YouTube or whatever, I saw that there was a meeting, special meeting the night before.
Uh, I I I don't know how or what, well, actually, I do know how. I know, Mr. Mayor, that you used the social media quite a bit. I don't know why something like that you couldn't put something out just to let the residents know. Well, that's our way
of doing that is through social media. It was also on the Google calendar on >> No, I'm talking about your personal >> because you Yeah. You put something out all the time. >> Yeah. Yeah. But township specific township business like that. I mean, that's the sole uh purpose of township social media. So, uh if you follow the
township social media page, Township of Rochelle Park on Facebook, it'll pop up right on your feed. Uh but it was posted. Yeah. Well, I know was I didn't receive it until after the fact. >> And it's like, you know, whether or not I was going to be here or not. I just
think that if you're going to have a special meeting, especially since you indicated the fact there would not be another meeting until this evening, that there has to be a better way of the residents to know what's going on. And I I just just want to bring that up because I I just just don't think
especially under the circumstances today with social media the way it is is that there is a way of doing these type of things. I mean, I'm not going to check every single day on Roel and J. >> Listen, if you have any ideas, we're absolutely open to them. You know, we
can't send a rave alerts about it. Um but, you know, we we we do use our social media, we use our websites. Um, you know, >> I know you're really big into it, but that's why I was kind of surprised. >> Well, that's why I went on social media. Yeah. >> Well, I'm not sure if you went on for that
meeting or not. Who Who posted the one? >> There was a flyer for the special meeting posted on the Township of Rochelle Park's Facebook page. >> On the second. >> On what? >> On the second, right? That Thursday before, right? >> I don't know the specific date, but I
know that was posted prior to the meeting. And I I'm only saying because I'm not going to go to >> right >> every single day and most residents are not going to >> I do recommend all if you do have social media to please follow the the township social media page uh and uh as well
because again if you do follow it it would pop up on your >> is it on the regular I'm sorry because I'm really not too good with this. >> Yeah. Yeah. And I'm absolutely if you stay behind I'll help you. >> So I mean the whole thing is that again I'm not trying to be critical. >> No this is something that I'm passionate about uh as well. I want residents to
know when events are happening. Uh if there's a special meeting called, you know, I want them to know. So, um I'm always communicating with the clerk. Let's get this flyer up. Let's make sure that's in the in the Google calendar on the township page. >> Um just learning from the past as well.
>> Okay. And I apologize. I'm not trying to go over my five minutes, but the other thing as far as that sound ordinance is concerned, um I do have issues in my area. I'm not going to get into them in a public forum, but the whole point of the matter is is that I believe that you can have
loud music until 10:00 at night. Um, or if it's not supposed to be any more than 1 hour, I believe was something else that was in there. The whole point of the matter is is that if you have people that are playing their music extremely loud
during the daytime, at what point does that now become an issue? because it certainly is an issue. >> Yes, sir. >> You're saying during uh during the hours of of 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. or beyond those hours? >> Normal hours. >> During normal hours.
>> Yeah. Like >> that's from what the limit is. >> I think it's creating a quality of life, right? >> Well, there's a window in the ordinance. I don't know specifically what the time is, but I think the window was really established based upon court decisions that said what would be a reasonable
time restriction. So, uh, I mean there you can't just arbitrarily pick a time that let's say for example, you said you couldn't have loud noise after 3:00. Well, why? What's so important after, you know, or before 3? Yeah. After >> I think I think the point is is what is
the limit to that loud noise? Is there a limit to that loud noise? >> No, there is no there is a limit, right? That's what he's asking. Certain again, if it's certain distance and he can hear the noise at that point of distance, it's a violation of the ordinance. >> That's what you're asking. right there. Well, I mean that's part part and part
still. So if the officer comes at 1:00 in the afternoon and it is blasted. Okay, that's completely unreasonable. Okay. Um so the officer says, "Okay, you got to knock it off." How long is he supposed to knock it off for? Is it an hour? 2 hours?
>> No. It's a lower. >> Is that supposed to be here for the rest of the day? >> Yes, they have to lower it. >> Okay. >> They came to I'm going to give you a real life experience. They came to my house. I had my guitar out in the back facing the woods. Nobody there. And I
had my amp up and they came and they I turned around and said, "I got a fan." He says, "We like your playing, but can you lower it a little bit?" And I said, "Who's I mean, you know, was during the day in the woods and all right, I lower it down a little, but you know, you're expected to lower it down to a
reasonable, you know, reasonable limit for quality of life." How do you feel? If in fact this is happening at 1:00 and it's considered to be unreasonable by the officer, then that should be it for the rest of the day. >> Well, I'd have to I don't want to
comment without reading the ordinance. I have to prov you ordinances I write. If I could have them all memorized, I wouldn't be sitting here. >> Uh we'll look into that and and obviously always reach out to the police department, but if we can be of any
support as well, please let us know. >> Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you so much. Anybody else? Going once. Going twice. Hearing or seeing no one. May I have a motion to close public comment? >> Motion.
>> Have a second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? >> All right, let's move right along. We have a lot of ordinances on the agenda and the first ordinance is uh an
ordinance for introduction which is ordinance uh number 1273-26 amendment of chapter 80 entitled construction codes enforcement department. Do I have a motion to introduce that ordinance? >> Motion. Do >> I have a second? >> Second.
