of things to discuss the uh environmental commission uh continues their efforts on developing the the the nature worker proposed nature War off of defil Lane uh they're working uh through design issues and utilizing the $5,000
grant that was received from sustainable Jersey and and continuing to uh investigate different uh funding opportunities for construction as the project moves along um we did have uh the uh great Egg
Harbor Watershed uh Authority or commission I'm not sure what it's called Uh was out there and has approved the project because that that would sit right on the uh you know right adjacent to the creek out there so uh there's some opportunities for their
collaboration and maybe perhaps some funding um the affordable housing and development uh subcommittee has met again uh last or this month with our uh Council relative to affordable housing
and we're continuing those efforts that we started with the resolution that we passed I think that was last meeting with regards to our our plan of attack to how to address round four and through those efforts we'll also be addressing uh the shortcomings from rounds two and
three so uh there'll be some more updates uh coming uh shortly on that with some uh somewhat positive developments on that uh along the development uh we've had discussions with the developer
proposed develop at 90 Broadway and there's been some discussions uh with Fair housing relative to uh the affordable housing requirements there and and those things are still being discussed uh our plan was to bring that
developer into do a public uh uh presentation because he has revised those plans uh but that's uh in flux right now depending on what uh what what the what how we come out with the affordable unit uh uh requirements there
the uh buildings and ground sub commmittee met and uh also met with both the administrator as well as members of the public works and we've developed a list a running list of things that need addressed throughout the the various
facilities we have uh some of those are bigger items that we'll need quotes or contractors we'll figure out how to address those but there are other little items that uh Public Works is going to be able to handle and uh through this list which we'll
keep uh keep it going uh that'll uh allow us to stay on top of those smaller things as well as the bigger things and and to that end if any Council people even the public have something that they notice that may need attention just send me an email we're kind of finishing that
off and uh you know polishing it up and we're targeting introducing the budget at our next meeting which is on February 27th with an idea of that budget being adopted the second meeting in March so if

right talk to the microphone talk the microphone do you mind doing that again thank you councilman gardy yes sent an email there was some discussion on the Beach concert series we all know about
the discussion we all know about the rfps we had four responses immediately after the first uh immediately after the responses on February 4 one of the uh applicants pulled out the other
one decided that that really wasn't their fit either that left two the city decided to try and expand the Beach concert series and that's what it has done by way of this resolution
should the uh two uh groups decide and proceed with a contract with the city the first is Tony mares they're uh their concerts will run on Friday night starting June 20
2025 running through September 5 2025 second group is the Summers Point Police Athletic League they're going to have two Fridays in June to have concerts June 6th June 13th two uh Fridays in September September 12th
September 19th and also Sunday nights during the months of July and August the uh contracts will be negotiated by Mr Frost myself and the
mayor we're supposed to follow and adhere to the RFP that we uh sent out any questions can I add something to it you may uh we're going to have to do an amend on it because there's one conflicting date in there that I was
just made aware of and there was one sentence of what I sent over for section two that was not put in it that I think is important for the second one but we can talk about that when we get to the or uh the resolution okay right at this
point I just want to make sure everybody in the AUD audience has heard what Mr Smith had read earlier and then just repeated if there was anybody that did not please let us know so now we're still open for comments on resolutions
resolutions only Charli falkenstein 41 great day drive excuse me one second Mrs Pearson sat down and we have somebody else up here well I was just wondering whether she was going to continue or not are you
done Pat are you done actually you're done okay all right I I just have a couple questions regarding the Beach concerts um number one I saw one
uh uh Tony Mart's uh proposal all right that he list all the board members I did not see that on the summmer point uh Police Athletic League proposal and my question is okay are there any board
members on uh the Summers Point pal that are related to any elected officials in the city of Summers Point that's my first question my second question is are there any elected
officials on the Summers Point Police Athletic League there is one uh council person on the pal and I'm not aware of of any other relatives of any Council people
that are on the pal okay uh that being said I would think that we have two council members that have uh Sons or daughters okay on the police force and I would think that they would recluse them
themselves okay from this vote I would have to ask for councel on that I don't think that it's not it's not in other words the Police Athletic League has no affiliation with the police department in summers point
is that what I'm being told a compound it's not a compound question it's a very simple question okay I I can disagree all right I still would like to you're talk over me don't do that no no
don't don't don't start with me Tom don't start with me all right I again I respectfully request that the two members of council recluse themselves from the vot thank you for your
comments do we have any other comments on resolutions if if everybody can hear you I think it's got to be be recorded So we do need you to come over the the micophone the might be able
to go to him thank you thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak obviously with all of this regarding uh the the fact that the Beach concerts are going to be put
out to a third party it's all come into Focus about what they are what they're about and um I want to thank Nikki Nick regene of course uh for stating uh and explaining what the legacy of Summers
Point uh our musical historic cultural Legacy is about his book him coming forward and making these comments uh you know we are very very proud uh that we were able to do what we have done with
them as a part of the city so now uh because of what has happened with the request uh for bids of the RFP uh we have taken it on as a third party uh so we just want to um just say that to us
to us the most important thing is the Legacy it is preserving this unique Legacy that Nikki points out goes all the way back to the 30s so almost a hundred years and um you know the music
and the culture starting with the swing and what my father did uh what Tony Mart did in 1944 uh buying shik's Tavern and then in the early 50s turning it uh into an entertainment night club by going from
just like a piano player to a combo Swing Swing or Orchestra and then right through the rock and roll era so um uh now we uh find ourselves in this situation where we really want to
because we still can even though we're both 68 years old we're still able to do what we do and it's very very important to us uh but there is one person and this should not be about any one person but there is one person that needs to be
singled out and I think that everyone should draw their attention to this fact Nancy marada has given this community thousands of hours of volunteer service
thousands of hours in the last 21 years she should be honored she should be praised and she should be thanked for uh what she has done because we never could have taken it to the level where we want
National recognition as the Best Concert Series in the country without all these hours of work that Nancy did and we appreciated it two years ago when uh we were given that honor and um I just want
to say that um she has suffered a lot of pain emotionally she has I have watched her and it's painful for me to watch what she has gone through because of this this being in Jeopardy all the work
the honor what we do the Legacy that we defend that we present this has been a very very trying thing for Nance and I want everybody to know that I think that's an important thing for everyone to know we're ready to go we're ready to
go to work we're ready to do whatever it takes to do in a positive way and honor the city because this city is about its Musical Heritage and culture it's also about a great place to live with the families and all of the great things
that it offers the amenities and all of that but all of our existence uh in the last 100 years has been about both of these and we're very proud that the Summers Point Beach concert committee will be able to continue and we're very
appreciative of that thank you thank you Mr marata for your comments do we have anyone else that would like to speak on resolutions one other thing you're only allowed to speak once I'm sorry I didn't use my three minutes you're only allowed to speak once thank
you name and address just name right address hi good evening my name is Jim Glenn 223 dos Avenue um Summers Point resident grew up in the area um I'm I'm glad to be Beach concerts are preserved and Carmen and Nancy are going to
continue to do them um but I'm hearing something tonight that I'm just confused as a resident um and I think it's the win here I think is there's going to be more entertainment for the people of Summers point I mean you're going to have you know concerts twice a week okay we're
going to start a little bit early I get that I'm just confused about the Police Athletic League and forgive me and maybe maybe somebody can educate me uh they are a Organization for primarily youth
activities am I correct okay and when they have activities they're fundraising activities correct so they're raising money I I'm I'm I'm not seeing the connection between the Police Athletic League as we know its role and a concert
promoter can anyone share light on that in other words are you going to make money from the concerts to support to go into the police a Le or is the police athletically going to be spending money on concerts and just as a res I'm just I just want to be educated Mr Smith yeah
absolutely please okay I mean you understand my point just IDE right okay all right thank you thank you for comments motion to close I get a motion to close make the motion close the
public portion may have a second second all in favor I I not hearing enough eyes or nose on that i' would like to do a roll call please
I hi that one to close I yes I I I we're closed public comments so Mr havoc sir I note that the resolution 63 is the first one on the uh
yes it is uh docket here uh if I could uh take a few moments before you uh call for it thank you um I am in fact the vice president of the Police Athletic League at Summers point I'm very proud
of that I'm very proud of the work that the Police Athletic League does the purpose of the Police Athletic League is to Foster relations between police officers and the children of this community in doing that we put on
different events and activities for those children to participate in and police officers show up at those events and help with that and that uh what what the the whole mission here is to make sure that we get children at Young ages
and they become comfortable being around police officers so they don't as they grow they don't you know we all see the news and how police officers have had a tough time over the last dozen years or however long it is and the Police Athletic League is trying to intercede
in that at a young age and develop that particularly in a small community like this it's very important and and and into our mission there are some other activities for older people or older kids like we we have fostered a a men's soccer league uh that is primarily made
up of Hispanic community and that gives us roads into the community the Hispanic Community which we have difficult reaching and we gain the trust of their fathers and then we gain the trust of the children and intercede on their leg
all that being said I'm very proud of that my uh intention tonight was to uh recuse myself because it would be a conflict now the reason the pal put forth a RFP was we saw it as an
opportunity a to get more awareness of the pal but we also saw if you looked at our if you had the opportunity to look at our response to the RFP and our budget we had did a detailed budget and a projection of revenues that we could
raise and it shows a a a uh a profit for lack of a better term profit is probably not the right word but a fundraising uh benefit and we had hope to uh gain that and then continue our our
like I had just laid out our mission uh now the way the the resolution is now is not what we were hoping for we were obviously hoping for the whole slice and our our analysis boast on that whole
slice so once this resolution was formulated and I did have discussions with Mr G and did consider this and did talk to the rest of our board on the pal and at this point uh the way it is now now we don't believe that we can make
that work and move forward and generate uh anything for that so the resolution is written and you can correct me Mr Smith is that there's an opportunity or you could enter into a contract it doesn't obligate the pal to enter into
that and as I sit here today and and having I said discussion with the rest of the board members that uh I don't believe we' be able to move forward with that Arrangement that's correct thought process on this is the
next step is for the mayor administrator and I to meet with representatives of both groups and discuss content of the contract so either side decides that
they they can't fulfill thect requirements side could either entity I should say could back out sure it's not it's not obligatory okay but as I say I be recusing myself on the vote because
while I could probably judge it fairly I I I don't want an appearance of conflict thank you Mr all right resolution number 63 of 2025 authorizing the mayor of the city of
Summers point to execute contracts for a beach series how long you been here I have a motion please I'll make that motion I have a second second any comments yeah Council council president uh two things
number one uh the Marauders have done a wonderful job as far as the Beach concerts are concerned I fully support them moving forward if a contract can be agreed upon between the city and uh uh
that organization and as far as the conflict of interest is concerned uh the only thing I've done as far as pal is concerned is uh gave uh donations and attended some uh activities associated with that but I do
not have any conflict of interest and I don't believe that uh either of my children sit on the board uh as far as there are only police officers here in town so uh having said that uh I just want to wish uh the Marauders the pal to
either come to an agreement and uh I certainly don't want to see the Beach concerts uh uh cease to exist thank you thank you Mr other comments please yes council president um goad I've made it clear from day one
that I was not I voted no for this whole process here but um I hope that if pal is not going to move forward as Mr McAn has indicated that they
let um Tony Mark cares know right away because I know they already have things scheduled that they were going to cancel so um I would hope that that would be they we going to do Sunday concerts no we're going to do Sunday
concer Fridays not Sunday to well that's what my amendment was going to be if we got to that yeah when I talked about that that Amendment um the other thing is uh when we spoke um last year with with Mr with the marad is
uh one of the suggestions was to have a liaison from Council or do it or at a or maybe a Beach concert committee from Council so that uh we have good communication between both committees and I would like to volunteer for that
if that is something that um we decide to do as Le on for uh yeah thank you any other comments yeah one one Charlie we got down um I would just uh tell you that I am very pleased that
we're going to be able to keep the number one beach concert in the United States uh going and I would like to also thank Nancy marada for all her work thank you Mr pllas Mr G did you
have a comment yeah the comment is there's a conflict with the 13th on there but there's also a line that was left off of my proposal for the pal and it was dates and times to be determined in case there was a conflict
so I'd like to make an amendment that we take out June 13th and that we add in dates and times to be determined under Section two at the end of that if we could do that and if I could get a second I'd appreciate that
I'll second that I'll second how about I explain why I removed it going to negotiate the contract anyway yeah I I seems okay if you want to leave it out leave it out everybody understands it you can do whatever you like yeah okay
we we have a a motion to amend correct yeah to take the June 13th date out do we have a second to do that we did got M second did that so coms comments please on that I I
just have one question the June 13th is that for the Jazz Society wants to do the six because he was going to do the one right before us and we were intending to do the 13th uh so that would be the Jazz Society oh I just just want to make sure that that's
why is saying you know keep it loose so we can negotiate it put it together so we might have to take out the sixth also then so that way well why don't you why don't you sit down and do all the one person on this and and
contract will be negotiated you're going to have the opportunity mayor to be part of this all right finally that's why I put that phrase in there on a second so what is in front of us is amendment to number 63
at this point correct that June 13th changed from Tony Mar okay any other comments if not all in favor of the
amendment amended number 63 I I are any opposed not hearing any opposed number 63 is approved as amended yes good very good okay number 64
please resolution number 64 of 2025 we didn't vote on 63 we vot on we only voted to amend yeah that's all we did I'm sorry well don't let it happen again that's why I asked okay now we're going to vote on the amended number 63
ordinance all in favor I I any opposed no one opposed now number 63 amended is approved can I say one last thing in
this on number 63 when I wrote this resolution is because I saw nobody else jumping forward to do this and I thought I would offer a solution in here that would make everybody happy with the Way It Was Written is that it's an
opportunity to do concerts on those nights so if the pal decides as Sean had said they decide that it's not for them there's not going to be any Sunday concerts or or whatever but if they want to get in the concert business I'm
willing to give them an opportunity to play on the beach now and I I thank you Mr G for jumping forward to put something forward that we can vote on you don't have to thank me I get paid to do this stuff I have an opportunity so let's if we're done with number 63 as
amended let's please move on to number 64 and all the rest resolution number 64 of 2025 authorizing to apply applications for fiscal year 2024 flood mitigation assistance program grants from the Federal Emergency Management

different things that draw people to this town but as we get older having a hospital in our backyard makes us feel that much more comfortable that God forbid something happens they are the largest employer 1,600 employees they have which is incredible for a little

municipal review statement for proposed bus stop changes in the city of Summers Point those stops are along 9 which is obviously New Road U there's stops that are being offered on both sides on the
east and west um I would like to add this to the next uh meeting um and put a resolution out there for us to AC so that resolution would be to uh uh
sign off on this I yeah would be to have the city park I mean City Park to sign off on the uh that we approve this that we approve has the city engineer had an opportunity to look at this um I have not
investig I will you or uh yeah I mean and I haven't looked at it so I I just you know it's tough getting down Route n now if the boss is stopping three more times that wasn't my uh I'll tell what
my concern the uh should have cop of The photographs of theen West which has the shopping center strip mall
there my concern as legal counsel is uh the fact that there's no sidewalk there the uh bumpers for the parking are very very close to concern was
that their proposal sence is I have look that and agree to the following additional bus stops and I would probably suggest that we change that to we we we don't have any obligation we
don't have any input on the safety aspect of that I'm not really sure that's the best location uh we really want maybe what 3 andt overs
the I don't know it is tight I just just looking at that it just seems that it should just be on the other side of where Walgreens used to be and where that shoing things coming and then we all know that that inter so I I just I didn't like the
language here that that Shelby was obligating herself to make that decision that maybe we could modify that language can we get a a list of where the closest like what's the justification for adding
three more and where the closest ones are any questions call Jose J I'll we could forward a copy of that I'll contact I didn't get a copy the the purpose of bringing it up tonight was just to have a discussion like we're having it's also to
allow to take a look at this make these comments and then we could always put it on as a resolution going forward but Mr Snider I think you would be happy enough to call the person on here and have a conversation with yeah I'll discuss it with okay thank you I'm just printing it
up so we could have a little bit of conversation so that when it's on next time around we know exactly where we're going to go anybody else have any uh new business if not Mr Frost would you like to discuss
the whole p7 359977 okay thank you Mr Frost um I have a motion open up for public comments make that so moved have a second
second all in favor I I any opposed no one opposed Patricia Pearson excuse me 587 Marks Road I wanted to thank you for tonight and also um I want something in the record
that uh several years ago on Sundays on the Summers Point Beach there were some church groups that were given permission to play music okay which all sounds good
however a couple residents and one in particular said to me Pat I need your help I said for what for music on the Beach he said I like the uh Friday Night concerts they bring a lot of people I
put up with them they're very lovely and that's it but Sundays I like to watch the game I like to have a nice dinner and I don't want to hear baboom bab boom b boom and he said it I like a quiet
nice Beach on a Sunday so anyhow that was what he did so I think that if you're going to have Sunday concerts and you're going to take it on yourself whatever they are you had to send a survey around that whole Beach
area I mean one a whole block up and down the streets and find out if the people are happy with that just don't go throw on Sunday concerts if uh anyhow that's what I wanted to tell you thank
you for listening thank you any more public yeah there was someone else want oh okay yeah thank you Dave crra 21 Crestview Drive otherwise known as ground
