and a senior property owner that's been living here for 50 years. I just don't want to see Rosland all of a sudden becoming the apartment capital of Essex County because unfortunately as you could see some of the other surrounding towns they're having difficulty in
renting these apartments. >> We agree with you as you know that we're forced to do this. We tried to look at the best thing that could happen >> for one of them to go up and not get rented and then the other one stop them all. >> Good. Because I think would be nice if you have some nice beautiful culde-sacs
with homes like you built 50 years ago in the community. And that's the only thing I'm saying. I don't want to see 1,000 apartments in our community. I just feel it's going to hurt the school district. It's going to hurt everything down the line. Okay. Thank you for your
time. >> Thank you. We just update this so we have everyone has resolution number and then see where is Okay.
When number 4625 tax get whatever tax Yeah. Go ahead. But a lot of interesting possibly future
come down. If there would be consideration to uh senior developments like uh 55 and over development for new developers coming in. if we could consider that for the future for our seniors in town. So maybe they want to sell the houses that are too big for
them now and move into smaller maybe ranch type houses in a senior development if you would consider that for the future. >> Absolutely. Thank you. They're not here. >> Any other member of the public wish to be heard? Come forward. Anyone with us?

date of December 14th. December 14th is the manura lighting. Uh Christmas should be another great night for our families in town. Um but besides that, I just want to wish everyone a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and thank everyone in the town and up here for their friendship and and their their hard
work. Thank you. Uh committee reports, finance administration, councilman bar. >> Thank you, mayor. Um like to thank the boosters for donating these uh fire pits and uh and one I saw there. >> Bless you. >> Great addition to the to the complex. Um
like to also congratulate Councilwoman Gene Paratt for another for her re-election, Councilman Moose Trillo for his re-election. Looking forward to working with you guys over the next uh year. And um I'd also like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving as well. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you. Uh recreation, Councilman Bart or Councilman Schroeder. >> All good. >> Okay. Uh Councilman Schroeder. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh again want uh not again want to echo uh happy Thanksgiving to all and in this uh
holiday season to uh remind everyone that the Rosland Food Pantry uh continues to accept donations much needed and particularly for those after Thanksgiving if there's uh any non-p perishable items. Um please think of the
Roseand food pantry. That's all I have uh today, Mr. Mayor. Thank >> Thank you, Councilman. People would be surprised about the amount of food that we actually disperse to people in need in town and money that we disperse to people in town through gift cards and through civic associations. We don't
they want to remain anonymous and we people understand that but understand just because we don't broadcast it doesn't mean there's not a need >> for those people who who need food and need >> uh financial subsidy to get them through the holidays or just get them through any month of the year. So, thank you everyone and thank you for that comment.
Councilman Schroeder, uh, Councilman Bar. >> Uh, good evening everyone. Um, the DPW committee did not meet yesterday because I had a conflict. Um, there was one thing that I did want to bring up at the committee meeting, but I'll bring it up today. Um, last week when I was at the league of municipalities meeting, I went
to a couple sessions. Um, one specifically stood out to me which was um we have various um towns in Essex County, neighboring uh municipalities such as Veron and Glen Ridge um who've adopted uh complete streets technical complete streets program which is you
know making sure that you have sidewalks um making roadways as safe as possible. Um I'd like to see if we can do the same. Um so I've sent some information to the SWAT committee. Um I'd like to coordinate with DPW as well as our burough engineer to try to get everybody on board for this. Um just some statistics that I want to point out um
just to show how important this is to me. Um in the state of New Jersey, pedestrian and fa and bike fatalities as a percentage of total traffic deaths u in 2022 um 23.8% of pedestrian deaths of
fatality deaths for traffic for traffic um deaths were pedestrians. In 2023 it moved up to 25.2%. In 2024 it moved up to 34.2%. 2%. So, as you can see, this is trending in the wrong direction. Um, this is why I'm adamant about getting
sidewalks built in town. Things like that. Um, concurrently, bicycles, um, as a percentage of the traffic deaths have increased as well in the past in those three years. In 2022, we had 2.8%. In 2023, it went up to 3.5% and then in
2024, it was 3.8%. Again, trending in the wrong direction. Um so um the North Jersey Transportation uh authority offers free uh complete streets technical assistance to municipalities. Um they they look for community
involvement. We already have that with the SWAT committee. Um so I think a combination of myself, the council, the administration, department heads, burough engineer, and as well as residents who are adamant and care about
these um these types of endeavors. Um, I think we can really do some good things here. So, again, there's a lot of free um, you know, uh, programs out there that we should take advantage of. So, I just wanted to point that out today. >> Complete streets is big. >> Thank you. Uh, Cal Paradi.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um, on Friday evening, I attended the NJSPA hockey fundraiser for officer Mark Miller. It was held at the ice arena in Hackinack. offer officer Matessk um actually coordinated coordinated it.
Unfortunately, his team lost and the only thing I could think about was please nobody get hurt. Um it really turned out to be a nice evening. They raised a lot of money. There was also a a a bar in Pamis or a restaurant in Pamis that also donated all the take that
evening to um Officer Miller. The Rosland Police Department in coordination with the Rosland Police Foundation are conducting a toy drive from now through December 19th. There are a number of drop off locations. They
are the Rosland Police Headquarters, Maris Restaurant, Exxon Gas Station, Rosland Burrow Hall, Rosland Public Library, La Jim Johnson Steakhouse. Uh they'll also be collecting the last day of collection
will be at the December 19th senior holiday lunchon at the handover manor and I do believe they've already made a pickup at the library so people are being very generous. >> Um as far as the fire department, their
floor was started uh mon uh Monday. It really looks nice. It should take about three days to complete to three days to complete. The fire department also presented a fire prevention program at the Rainbow Child Care Center on October
9th, which turned out to be um the same day they participated in the new shop opening. So, they've been busy. They also had 30 alarms in the month of October. So, our fire department has been very busy. Um I just want to wish everyone also a happy Thanksgiving, a
happy and a healthy one, and to my council members as well. And thank the first aid squad for doing CPR for the seniors. >> Yes, I Yes, I forgot that one. The first aid squad did the CPR for the seniors at the Friday lunch. Yep. >> Yes.
>> Uh, Councilman Tully. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um, the beautifification committee is just starting to put up the holiday decorations. So, you look around town, some of them have been up and some of our lights are up. We have some new new supplies and some new decorations.
Um, I'd like to uh offer congratulations to Councilwoman Paratt and Councilman Men Trillo. He's not there. >> Thank you. >> For another um uh wonderful election. And also congratulations to Vto Miliki.
If anybody watched some of the fight or went to the fight, he won again by a knockout. And I was asked to mention the three contests that we have going on. the house decorating contest for the holidays, the gingerbread house making contest, and also finding the
gingerbread. Now, when you find the gingerbread, you have to take a picture with the gingerbread. If you look at our website or if you look at this week in Roseland, it does say when you find the gingerbread man, take a picture with him
because I've been seeing some pictures that it's just, oh, I you know, the gingerbread. So, I don't know how tight these rules are going to be when that happens. Um, let's see. Uh, what else do I have?
Uh, I think that's it. and wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving, happy turkey day, and don't eat too much. Thank you. >> Thank you. Anyone else have committee reports? >> Oh, once again, congratulations to Councilwoman Patty and Councilman uh Triller who aren't here.
>> Um, anyone else have anything to add to committee reports? If there are none, we'll move on to the approval of minutes of the November 3rd council meeting and executive session. Everyone receive the minutes for questions, concerns, or recusals. If
there are none, take a motion, please. >> So move. Second. By Bar. All in favor? >> I >> opposed. >> Oh, I forgot now. Wait. >> Hearing and seeing none. Next on the agenda is our second round of public comment. Any member of the public wishing be heard, come forward, state your name and address for the record. If
you're with us via Zoom, use the raise your hand icon. And if you're with us telephonically, press star 9. Mhm. >> Um the governing body has to go into another round of executive session. The public should know the governing body will not take any formal action or
return from executive session. We will simply take a motion for adjournment. That being said, do we have a motion to return to executive session? >> So move. >> Second. >> BRT. All in favor? I opposed without my blank. >> Hearing and seeing none. Thank you everyone. Have a happy Thanksgiving you
and your families.
