Five posting notice of their respective place. City of Loco Bach West advertised on school district website and advertised county democrat times newspaper. Let's stand for the pledge of
the flag of the United States of America to the republic for it stands nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Peter, would you mind call please? >> Jennifer Bachelor here. Uh Martha Dennis
here. Uh Jetty, Brian Keys >> here. >> Kevin, Erin Ori. Michael Sh here. Ryan Marino >> here. Jim Galler >> here. Here too.
Um, first up we have buildings, grounds, transportation, finance and safety. Um, Brian, you want to address this or do you want to let go? >> So, one thing I wanted to mention on there of a document that we added since
our last board meeting. Um, and this really was in reference to some concerns about the septic system. Um there is an addendum to the purchase and sale agreement that was added to the data room for the auction um last week and I
just want to call attention to number 13 on the bottom and I'm going to read it specifically you can see it up on the screen um no representation is made by the seller with respect to the existing septic system servicing the property or the state local laws rules and
regulations with jurisdiction over the use and the limitations of the existing and future septic system servicing the same. Buyer is encouraged to review NJDOP regulations and local township regulations pertaining to the property septic system, its wastewater
management plan, and the impact of the same on a subsequent owner's future use of the property. The permits for the existing septic system servicing the property are not assignable to subsequent owners of the property. the septic system for the property
discharged into the Alex offen creek which is a category one stream regulated by the NJP. So we just wanted to make sure that um to be in full transparency with the public that this information was shared with all the prospective biders in
today's auction and that it's up to them to do their due diligence to research the septic system. Um, with that we do have a need to make a motion approving the addendum. We're approving it. So, we do need a motion to approve
that addendum. So, move by Ronnie. Can I have a second, please? >> Second. >> Second by Ryan. Uh, any discussion on that agenda? If there are no questions or discussion, let's vote. Uh, Gina Vashetti, Brian Keys, >> yes.
>> Kevin Gooleski, Aaron Olirri, >> yes. >> Michael Shra, >> yes. >> Jennifer Bachelor, >> yes. >> Arthur Dennis, >> yes. >> Ronnie Garino, >> yes. >> And Jim Gallagher, >> yes.
Um, with that, we do have on our agenda a period for public comment. um the uh um that period uh we will open now. Um I will say that I have a few remarks about that. First of all um we do because of the nature of this meeting
and the timing of it, we are going to limit the total public comment period to 10 minutes. Um we do have procedures and requirements that include standards of conduct that need to be followed by members of the public. If a member of the public becomes disruptive during a public meeting, including during any
period for public comment, member of the board charged with running the public meeting should warn the disruptive meth. The continued disruption may result from being prevented speaking during the public meeting or removed from the public meeting. Disruptive conduct includes sustained inappropriate
behaviors much of but not necessarily shouting, interruption with profanity or comments seen as abusive, obscene, or defamatory. and no participant has meet one once during each public comment period. Uh members of the public are invited to address the board on any matter for a maximum of three minutes
during this portion of the meeting. Um we ask that you come to the podium. Uh just give us your name and the municipality where you live and uh and make your statement to the board. With that public comment period is open. Does anyone have someone something they'd
like to bring before the board? We do have one online statement. >> We do. >> So, I'll read it. It's from Sean Feifer, uh, West Animal Township. I'd like to thank the board for listening to the comments I provided at your September 29th board meeting and
for taking steps to disclose the issue I outlined with the way Twitter management plan septic system and category one streams of the addendum to your contract for sale that is on the board agenda for your special meeting today. I do have an unrelated question with respect to the auction itself. Most of the activity
seems to have been within the last day. What happens if a new bid is made within the final seconds of the auction? Is the timer extended for any period of time to allow the prior higher bidder or others to make a new bid or does the auction
simply end at the moment the counter reaches zero? So what I would say to that is right now the auction is scheduled um to end at 2:30. Um, just in reference to his comments, everything that our auctioneer
and our real commercial broker told us that things will possibly heat up from 2 to 2:30 that we probably would only expect a few bids leading up to that, which has been accurate so far. Um, as far as the ending, uh, although the
auction ends at 2:30, from everything our broker and auctioneer said, it will probably wrap up closer by to about 2:50 p.m. Um, so I think there will be opportunities there um, to kind of work through the final highest bid before the
board was to make a decision one way or another as far as what action they would take moving forward. So that's basically what we've been instructed by our auctioneer and by our commercial broke. >> Yeah, there is no snipe bidding. So there is a timer that resets if it gets
close to that 2:30 original cut off. It does extend by a certain amount of minutes to allow new biders to come in which is why as said it could end it closer to an excellent question and I like the answer. So that's good. Just clarify
about snake bidding. >> Snake bidding would be it's like somebody saw what the bid was and they want to go bid $1 over what the current bid is right at the the 229 >> 22935. >> And uh so to allow for that the timer will automatically extend itself by a
certain amount of minutes. I believe four to eight minutes to allow. >> And the auctioneer also controls the increments. So you've noticed originally was about 100,000. Now it's been reduced to 75,000. As that number increases, that number will continue and start to
come down a bit and the bids will get a lot closer to get a dollar. >> Just point of clarification, we would probably never get to the point where it was a dollar. >> Okay. >> No, that's how it works on like eBay, I think. >> And the price of us would be familiar.
>> The price is right. >> Yeah. >> Well, here's hoping they overfid the show. >> Yes. >> Um, okay. Uh, they asked opportunity for public. Oh, I'm sorry, Jen. Go ahead. >> Well, so I just if one public comment, um I did um have
someone reach out to me um last night and bring up um the tiles in the bus. >> We haven't talked about in a while. And I said, I didn't know. >> So, here's what we decide. Two things. We also have a member of the audience, I think, who had asked me at one time
about child. Um, we've had some parents make requests to have their child's tiles removed, which we're open to. However, there are no guarantees that they will not break. So, what we decided to do several weeks ago
is I have Melanie Llafa, who's our TV production studio teacher, going over and doing a video montage of all the tiles. Yeah. >> Throughout the building, and then we are going to create that into a YouTube link and be able to share it with the community. So, it's always there forever
and some music to it and a cool thing. We also are going to interview a few uh former graduates of the West Animal School to go along with that video just to share some of their thoughts. And then, like I said, if we do have some folks, and I know of a few once we're done with the video, we will try to
remove them. But again, >> it's tough. There's no guarantees that they're not going to crack when we try to do that. if if they we have the opportunity to remove would they maybe want to come in and take their own picture of their file. Maybe that would be something >> that's a possibility or we could take it
and send it to them. There's different >> the ones that actually were asked of me already. I've already taken pictures of them so I have them >> um I went over there to find them. But uh we'll kind of see how that plays out >> because I know that was an important thing. >> Make sure we get the mural,
right? the big one that we had done. >> Any other public comment for this? Um if not, I will close the period of public comment and we will be so the way the rest of this meeting is planned to go, we are going to move in a moment or
two to go into an executive session. So we will leave this room. Uh we will be uh waiting um until 2:30 for the results of the auction so we can vision. Um the live stream I understand will remain on here.
>> Yeah, it'll just be a sign that says we're in exec will return. So if the board does decide to take action, which Jim will talk about in a second, um we'll come back in reopen the stream and if folks are at home, this will probably be closer to 3 o'clock and want to check
out where we landed. uh they can do that, >> right? And it's just so we will be coming back from that uh uh executive session possibly around 3:00 um some point after 2:15 case and uh we may have
we may be taking that which case we will be voting to accept uh one of the uh you know whatever the highest bid is that we feel that that's an acceptable bit. Any questions about it? >> Um, so let's try we'll try and beat
Helen for then. Um, so I will need a budget to go executive session 14. >> So moved by Aaron and seconded by Michael. Thank you. All in favor? >> I. Okay, we will take >> one minute before we get there.
>> So, we better hustle then. Is that what you're telling? >> Yes. the green button. >> Um, so we'll need a motion to come out of executive session at 3:41 p.m. >> So moved >> by Aaron. Thank you. And a second, please. >> Second.
>> Second by Jen. Thank you. All in favor? I >> uh so we do have to make a have a motion on here. We do have to make a motion to accept the uh contract and the sale with a sale price of $1.21
$21 million um with a closing date 30 days from today to company that's name is in the contract but is immediately to my mind >> Orlando.
>> So we do need a motion for that by Ronnie. Thank you. Can we have a second please? >> Second. >> A second by Ronnie. Uh is there any discussion on the motion? Okay, we can do a roll call vote for this. >> Jennifer Bachelor, >> yes. >> Martha Dennis,
>> yes. >> Gina Bashetti, >> yes. >> Brian Keys, >> yes. >> Kevini. >> Aaron Olri, >> yes. >> Michael Shra, >> yes. >> Bonnie Tarino, >> yes. >> And Jim Gallagher, >> yes. I will mention that Kevin and I were texting throughout the process, so
I was keeping him updated on everything. um he is working and was unable to call in and I appreciate all his support. So >> we did I hope I hope it was approved but the contract
not >> okay then we I guess we better for for the sake of uh making sure that we're covering all of our bases. We are also approving the attached resolution which gives us the authority to sign the contract. Um again I need someone to
make that note sound by Michael. >> A second please by Martha. Thank you very much. Um again roll call move. >> Uh Jennifer Bachelor. >> Yes. >> Martha Dennis. >> Yes. >> Jada Bashetti. >> Yes. >> Brian Ke. >> Yes. >> Kevin Oleski. Erin Olirri.
