member Amavil here council member Condos she's excused this evening thank you council member Connor here council member Craft here council member Rotunda here council President Wil here mayor Peterson here thank you
the first uh thing we have is something and all of us can uh join together on the council and the community at large and uh recognizing and celebrating everything libraries provide for us and
in particular uh the upper shores branch of the Ocean County Library and we have uh an official proclamation to be to be presented to the library and posted as well and unfortunately Jenna had a late
uh email we had expected this evening the uh branch manager of the Upper Shores Library uh Sloan Boyce and uh there was a scheduling conflict that pres prevented uh her attendance so uh
that being said she will stop by and get the proclamation early next week and uh thanked everyone in the town and the governing body and certainly that is reciprocal we thank her and this is uh
and those who attended other meetings in the in the county and uh I suspect throughout the state this is a similar proclamation being celebrated not just statewide but nationwide and it proclaims the week April 6 to April 12th
2025 as National Library Week and it honors and thanks everyone who has made the libraries what they are what possible funding them keeping them up and running and everything they provide for communities organizations schools
businesses and individuals so uh Seaside Park is joining in that national uh call of thanks and proclamation so this is National Library Week and the first item for
discussion which had uh come up on several prior uh work sessions and in committee it's discussion of a proposed ordinance to modify the marina boat slip weightless procedure and I'll be taking a bill yes this is a
uh an issue uh to address uh what it is is the marina boat slip waiting list grow with virtually no depletion and this is to um to allow boat slips to be
given to new sips slip applicants in fairly uh you know to be done fairly um currently the slip holders uh who have slipholders are ones that already have votes as applicants are
ones that are trying to get into the marina so currently slip slipholders who have indicated in their new years every year they have in the fall they have to renew their application to say that they want to
renew their application but they also have an opportunity to ask for a different size slip typically larger um and they work currently they have priority over someone that happens to be on a slip on the waiting list for that
particular slip size uh should a slip size become available um slips that become available will be determined early in the new year is the way it currently works that's typically by February
1st um a little more background um first of all the changes to this ordinance the marine ordinance chapter 293 uh subsection six is the only section that will be uh
modified um there are currently seven slip sizes ranging from 20 foot to 50 foot um to give you an idea of the current weight list size for each of them um ranges anywhere from 1
to 38 people waiting on the weight list yeah for a 20ft slip there's only one for the 22ft slip there's five excuse me 25 foot slip there's 19 30 foot slip is 38 people
35 ft slip is 15 40ft slip is 40 and 50ft slip is four um people have been on the waiting list as early as 2016 and but most of them are right
around 2020 on average um there's a total of 194 slips at the marina for everyone who was wondering so so in order to uh reduce the size of
the waiting list over time uh we're now recommending that we change the current policy so that we for any given slip size we alternate between someone coming off on
the waiting list and someone that's internal on the uh you know that already has a slip a current slipholder so that basically is what this change is what you see in the red lines
uh originally what what had been distributed is one person from the weight list and then two from the uh existing permit holders would get would then have the opportunity but talking
with uh John Clever our marina manager yesterday um that we felt that it was better that we just easily just alternate between waiting list and permit holder just like that for each of the slip sizes so it's
it's a very fair process and it's the best I can come up with to be clear when you talk about permit holders port holders want to transfer to a different slip a permit holder is someone who currently owns there the reason why it's a permit holder they want to transfer to a different Yes or keep the explain and
he would get he would get priority no alternate no no sorry i got I got a 30 foot slip now I want to downsize to a 20 foot slip there's a lot of people waiting for 20 who gets the priority it depends where you are in the
cycle if you if the last person got one on the waiting list then you would not get it some a permit holder would get it okay if you were if same scenario if you were a permit holder you would get this slip
okay so if somebody was really anxious to get a slip could they take one of the bigger slips and put some other boat in yes they could if if providing that they're in position in in the waiting list you'd
be paying more though right a rowboat in there yeah we probably wouldn't allow that a kayak but typically the waiting list is longer for the bigger subs because we have less of them less yeah that makes sense
okay and again the red line changes with my blue lines which uh the change that I made since since since we generated this for the meeting i'll just read it if you don't mind it's
um it's under subsection two uh it's it begins uh the new applicant or permit holder selection shall be determined based on the previous selection for that slip size
every other selection shall be from the waiting list whereas the other selection shall be from the marina permit holders note that this selection process is cyclic over time
uh that I added the initial selection for this process shall be from the waiting list therefore there's no ambiguity as to once this ordinance is passed as to which position uh you know
gets gets the next available slip so so the waiting list person goes first and then the permit holder then the waitingless person then the permit holder seems like a much fair way here's the changes by generation a lot of people
doing that permit going down and going up usually for go up councilman sorry the question that you just asked could you repeat that my question yeah my question to the council was is what's
the is there a lot of people going up and down what's what's what's how's that working more people going up in slips or more people going down typically someone with a 20 25 foot slip and you have a smaller boat obviously so often usually
as people continue in the vote their voting life you know they then get a bigger vote therefore they would want a larger need a larger slip okay so they usually go up only once that I can recall someone
going down because he had a a 40ft slip and he ended up going to a 25 foot slip because he didn't want to go out in the ocean anymore he just needs something for the bed anything else on that one from council you made that very clear thank you any
objection to [Music] always see I um that's a second record i believe it was just for discussion i don't think it's listed for introduction it
is not No not this time no we wanted to kick it around and polish it a little bit we need to So would we be targeting that then for the next uh meeting i would say so yes and we want to get that
to April 17 then 17 oh that's right it's a Monday enough time yeah i just had another meeting that night so I don't know if I'll be here the first reading
somebody will send you the uh the update okay anything else then on that next item on the agenda is discussion of proposed ordinance to create the position of police captain and that had had some discussion
in the past and copy committee i I know there's some conversation about uh going to that position as existed in Seeside Park in the past yeah yeah remember Frank Brown
was our captain a long time ago right he was yeah we used to try and go find out where he was sleeping at night before we made each other his car but that was a long time ago we've we've had discussions at our committee and and the council in general and um we think it's
um in the interest of of letting the police department continue its great work and operating a little bit more efficiently with the captain's position involved so that uh any objection that would uh go to a potential first reading i think
Jean's office has a giraffe that [Music] police department [Music] yes i don't know if it was sold over but it's attached to the
U it's attached to Yeah let's do it any objection then that's on the regular meeting agenda as well no I don't know yeah the third item for discussion is a
proposal from RBE it's dated March 25th 2025 for the preparation of an application to the flood mitigation assistance grant program that's through FEMA it's listed for consideration as resolution
2025149 at the regular meeting and to see the explanatory cover correspondence that came from uh Pam Da Alan didn't offer I don't
know who take take the lead on that there's some background I know yeah basically it's for assistance to homeowners that wish to bring their home into compliance for FEMA for raise their houses that RV
would assist in in the process of um the process of getting the permits and assisting the development and reetting of the house and then final inspections and then the homework would not be reimbured for the um the funds
until after CO is required then um there's breakdown for different task of coordination documentation and processing And then the completion when the project and the
grant close out has been completed borrow Seaside Park will receive 75% reimbursement for their services therefore for the cost of the services $18,500 the borrow of Seaside Park will receive $13,875 reimbursement from
FEMA i didn't talk one on one RV but we only had the paperwork maybe Karen wants to add anything i didn't Yeah i I mean ba basically it's it's a grant program for homeowners as as council president Wil said to bring their homes into compliance so it makes if we are
participating in this program it makes federal funds grant funds available to those homeowners and the more homes in CSI Park they become compliant the better our CRS rating is which potentially can bring down flood premiums for all homeowners yeah so um
so yeah the proposal was for 185 the if we're successful in getting the grant we'd be reimbursed 75% so the amount of money the borrow would be paying be like 40 would be about $4,625 which is a small investment in trying to get uh more homes compliant on our barrier island for the for the
homeowners uh you know it's a 75% uh reimbursement grant for the design and construction cost of raising the homes and it's actually 90% if the home is a repetitive
loss which is pretty good it's again it's reimbursement uh the homeowners would have to put up the money up front um and it the grant is says it's competitive and homeowners are not guaranteed not guaranteed to be approved
so they have to put in all the paperwork and once they're approved then they could go ahead and uh proceed I guess to uh to raise their house with all the correct paperwork in place we have had several residents through our code office inquire if we're participating in this because they would like to
participate in this program as well so for the small cost to the burrow of 4625 it's a big big help out for the uh for the residents who need to do that it's a small cost but a big return for Yes so
yeah absolutely yes it's nice anything else on that from council that too is on the regular meeting for action as well as you it's off point but I want it's related
to potential reduction in our rates for flood insurance and a homeowner asked me I didn't know the answer so I should have asked someone prior to this moment but the fact that we've now uh had
installed a whole host of new fire hydrants on Ocean Avenue with the water project is that then reported through the engineers office or through the town itself to the program so that that might
lower our rates or is that a annual that that doesn't have anything to do with flood that'll be for fire for fire that's better to lowering your rates would it not i I just wonder if that gets reported or how we do go about it
well the question usually on homeowners policy is that do you have a hydro within 1,000 ft yeah and there are more of them now seemingly we haven't added any we just replace old ones we added one on every block was there one on every I think they haven't take the old
ones out yet no they're they're additional ones yeah they're additional they're putting for flushing and there's a number of them that's a good question we I'll bring that up at our um the public works meeting
um forgot the date okay tuesday april 8th yes april 8th put that on We'll put that on the agenda i'll we'll get the answer on that all right anything else on work session items from the
council hearing none I'll go into the audience if anyone has any comments on any work session items if you could give your name and address to the record and you might
um yeah the um flood mitigation assistance grant program sounds great is there um how much is the grant in total that that we would be applying for are we the we're not we're not applying for
a specific grant each homeowner will have to apply for the grant there's an assistance program for the homeowner okay it's not a total grant for $1 amount so what is RVE then applying for
they're assisting the homeowner homeowner to get the grant to get their grant the homeowner is responsible for paying for the work and they will be re reimbursed the homeowner itself will be reimbursed so they would have to have the the I'm just trying to clarify this
they'd have to have all their plans and designs and stuff ready to go in for the grant application uh RVE according to the paperwork RV is going to assistant in all that those phases okay design
they can't just say "I want $200,000 to do my house." They're going to have to have more than that right they they would have to go through the process I assume okay the portion they would be reimbured for would be to portion bring their billing into compliance there's other
other issues besides raising your building i understand you would have to have um windows and everything but not sure about that but that's what this is for to help the homeowner and that's why a lot of people have the unknown because they don't know what the requirements are rve would be the engineering firm
that would help them with that am I correct yeah absolutely great idea and our flood plane manager is an RVE engineer so Oh okay and then there's also there's process where during the construction phase RVE would actually go
in and inspect it oh okay make sure they're compliant at to make sure they're at the end result they would be qualified for the grant so the house doesn't fall down no that they would qualify for that's for the money to get the money back get the money back but but then also the bureau can be
reimbursed up to 75% for our assistance in that the cost the bureau for hiring RB to help the people with this correct that's exactly right okay my other question is about the proposed ordinance to create the position of police captain
and you just said somebody said that we didn't have that position in the past yes so I guess my question is twofold why did we let the position go in the past and now why all of a sudden do we think we need the position back i was not here when when they let it go
by the way so I don't know why they let it go it was quite a while ago wasn't it John i believe the last captain that we had was Frank Brown but I don't know that yeah it's been a while i think the
ordinance changed maybe four or five years ago to remove the captain because we had no plans to have a captain and I think the way the warrants was written is that we were supposed to have a
captain so that's what got removed that's why I remember it so after four or five years of not having a captain why now do we think we need a captain well the the captain would do the way I understand it would do the administrative work and the two
lieutenants would then be both patrol lieutenants in charge of of of a different squadron and stuff which makes the department more efficient who does the paperwork not the lieutenant who leaves him puts him on a road what right it's the captain like the
councilman said he'll do all the paperwork and the tenants will be on the road is that what would happen the lieutenants would be out on the road then right i believe that's how it work i I can't speak for the police department what i guess if they were part of the
platoon again Mike Spatino 59th Avenue uh she stole most my questions um my question then goes back to the uh the FEMA grant now uh is that uh right now just a uh a
grand circumstance from FEMA for 2025 or is this uh open-ended that will continue as long as we have people that are in the flood plane and in need of um you know lifting their property or or is
this a 2025 only this this goes until November 2025 the applications would have to be in all right work in front of us there probably are a lot of properties that are that would be possibly eligible are
I I know it's an undertaking that the township probably doesn't really want to do but uh are we uh going to try to let these people know that are in that uh circumstance that they have an opportunity to get this grant and that
they have to do it by the end of the year or else they may be so yes okay and uh is there any limit right now that we know of from FEMA that they're like "Well we have 5 billion and uh when it's gone we're done even if it's
July." Or we just don't know that i don't know that answer okay okay i don't I don't know the answer today right and uh All right so going back to uh to the question that Edi was asking about the
uh the hierarchy of our our police department um you know uh Council Rat I mean you're you're in public safety is is your your do we uh did we do uh some kind of an evaluation or what
what again i just don't know the criteria that was brought up that said look I think we need to have a captain again was there a a meeting did you uh interview the present police staff to say the structure needs to be reworked
how did we come to this decision we had a we had a a public safety committee meeting with our attorney a while ago and then we had a second one a few months ago and we interviewed the two lieutenants u prior to the council interviewing them on April 14th I
believe for the for the bacon cheese position but it was felt that most of the other towns have it and a captain would help um with the with the administrative work and there is quite a bit of it now with with the new police regulations and the licensing and stuff
like that allow a chief to direct the department allow the lieutenants to direct the sergeants and the patrol officers and keep the paperwork flowing properly make sure we have our accreditation and stuff okay and just cuz I just don't know the structure of the town uh who's uh who's in the
hierarchy uh above captain what is what do we have the chief chief just chief okay so it's in it's in the ordinance it describes the chief's duties the um captain's duties lieutenants duties and the sisters okay great thanks any other public
comments on work session items hearing none I would close the public portion unless there's anything else from council i'd entertain a motion for a brief adjournment then we begin regular meeting i'll make that motion motion by council member Ammobile second by

back to this police chief thing I'm I'm trying to understand so I hope you could help me understand this Um so the I understand more paperwork Everybody has more paperwork I do understand that But it seems to me
what you're doing is adding you're already paying a captain You've got your officers you've got your captain and now you're going to add a chief to do paperwork Oh they have a chief now You're adding a captain Yes Okay great So you're adding They don't have a chief
right now either but you're going to get one Yeah Okay So you're adding a captain They're adding another salary to this force Well the the captain will be one of the two lieutenants So it's only a minimum So it's a shift of the
responsibility But since it's but you're So you're you're have this chief who's mostly going to do paperwork Couldn't you have an administrative assistant do the paperwork i don't believe that I don't believe they'd be qualified

participants out there particip who deserve our thanks as does uh every member of the council has been here on many occasions and obviously the younger you are the better backs you might have but they all have poles too to pick up and stick the whatever litter and a lot
of people like to go to the particular beach that their family is acquainted or goes to during the summer So uh absolutely that's encouraged to go to every beach uh try to cover them all because a lot of the crowds and some of
the buses of the students cover right around Second Avenue in particular and there's another pickup site in Midway Beach South Seaside Park There's one in Stockton and they're all up and down the New Jersey coast So hopefully it's a
rain or shine event and hopefully it doesn't rain but So yep And might might I add mayor that you know after everybody's been there picking up all the trash and everything and for a couple hours they probably worked up quite a hunger and things like that So
