11
00:05:51.120 --> 00:06:06.319
to point out how important uh our current guests are because uh, Committeeman Weber showed up several minutes before the meeting instead of one minute before the meeting. Um, so I just want you to know how important you are. Um, and how great of a contribution

12
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:21.840
you've all made to this community. Um, and I want to give it to Chris Weber to read the proclamation. There are multiple parents out there who will confirm that you had to remind me when my daughter was up to bat all the

13
00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:39.600
time because I was always out there talking with you guys. And um the softball program really started uh to take off with what was the class of 2024, right? And we all had it in our

14
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:55.199
heads calculated when this group of girls was going to hit Dayton and make coach Dave Renie the absolute best coach in Union County. Okay, we had it calculated

15
00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:12.080
and this is now you you've got all three now. You've got a county, you got a sectional, and you got a state, which is pretty amazing. Now, before I get to you girls, I just want to talk

16
00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:30.160
about your parents for a second because my daughter is now coaching. Ash is now coaching for Fearless. She drove to Wall on Saturday and won three games,

17
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:46.720
I think. Got up at 5:00 on Sunday, drove to Wall, lost one game, and came home as mad as a cougar trapped in a car. Okay? And

18
00:07:46.720 --> 00:08:01.520
I said, "Ash, now you know what it feels like." I said, "What happened?" She says, "Oh, they played like garbage. we we just they just didn't play right. And she said, "I am so aggravated that I drove all the way up there so they can lose." And I said, "Now you know what us

19
00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:19.280
parents go through for year after year after year after year." And sometimes it clicks and sometimes it comes together. And starting with the class of 2024, it really started to come together because unfortunately prior to that, I

20
00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:36.320
think 23 had one girl, 20 two had one or two. There weren't many. And it started to click then. And you parents, this is your hard work. This is you getting up every morning on the weekend in the

21
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:51.760
summer and not taking vacation and making your vacation the field in Tom's River or Jackson or just getting annihilated by bugs weekend after weekend after weekend. Wawa.

22
00:08:51.760 --> 00:09:07.120
Billy Santangel loves Waw Wa. Okay, can't tell you the amount of talks we've had about Waw Wa, but Billy loves Waw Wa. But how many Waw Wa sandwiches have you eaten and Dunkin' Donuts trips you've made at at 6:45 to be on the

23
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:24.399
field by seven, right? This is what it is. You just have a group of girls who just won sectionals and states, which is to you parents, this is this proclamation is, man, I it might be it might be more yours than theirs, right?

24
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:39.360
because you you committed it and you sent them all for lessons and even when they didn't want to have the talks on the way home, I'm sure you all gave them the talks on the way home. Coach, coach, Katie, you know, Dave, you you

25
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:56.480
you you took these girls and and practice after practice after practice. you know, they would come home frustrated, I'm sure, but you connected with them and you were able to put together a winning formula that no one can take away from you. You

26
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:12.880
guys are now a piece of official history for Springfield and for Union County. So, this also is as much yours as as everybody else's. So, I will read this proclamation now.

27
00:10:12.880 --> 00:10:28.000
lucky that this is the second one we've been able to do in three years. Whereas the Jonathan Dayton Bulldogs had a very impressive 2026 softball season in which they won a North 2 group one state sectional title for the first time

28
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:44.560
in Dayton softball program history with a 5 to4 win over Whippony Park. hand. Whereas the Bulldogs won the group one state tournament for the first time in school history with a 2-1 win over Brownbrook. And

how these young ladies have impacted the community. First of all, I want to thank you for inviting us. Second of all, I want to thank you for the parade, which was amazing. Um, but also not only their influence and impact on the community, but even more important, the impact on

41
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:22.880
the young ladies in town who play softball at the youth level. Uh, we started our camp today and uh the enthusiasm is amazing. Um, and I don't know that you could even put a price on that, how important it is to to impact

42
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:42.871
the young girls in town like these young ladies have. So, they were doing it anyway. They're they were already rock stars to these little ones, but this raises it up even higher. So, congratulations, ladies and thank you. [applause] Would [applause]

46
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:56.640
Uh what coach said about the younger girls is very true. They they look up to you now. They what they see is they see a group of winning girls that I mean every everybody wants to be a part of a team that wins. Take them seriously. Be good role

47
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:12.640
models. Be kind to them because some of them are not going to be great initially. Some of them end up becoming great after a year or two or five or six. But just take your jobs as role

48
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:28.640
models seriously and this program will win for a very long time. >> Um so as a as a former Dayton athlete who didn't win a damn thing, um you guys have you guys have have done

49
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:45.120
something that is uh truly impressive. Uh, I remember, you know, when when I was going to school, Dayton was not a sports powerhouse at all. Uh, you know, it really wasn't much of it was much more of an afterthought uh than it is now. And now we're certainly on the map.

50
00:18:45.120 --> 00:19:01.760
Uh, and I hope uh that we stay on the map. Um, and just raise your hand if you rode on the fire truck in the parade. Uh, I just have a question because I've never done it. Was it cool? [laughter] Um, and uh, and I hope that we we get to

51
00:19:01.760 --> 00:19:18.799

Uh, we'll get you even more fancy pieces of paper uh, and recognize you even more. So, uh, you know, everybody give the Jonathan Dayton

53
00:19:43.120 --> 00:22:08.640
Thank you for coming and good luck in the future. [applause] All right. Uh we are back. Um is there public comment on any governmental issue? I mean on agenda items only. Anybody for agenda items

54
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:25.559
only? Please come up. All right. Seeing none, um we are going to uh move on to reports. Uh Director Bcher, do you have a report for us?

55
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:42.960
>> Thank you, Mayor. I'm going to touch on a couple bullet points. Uh yesterday we attended a meeting with the DOT regarding the Mars Avenue bridge replacement over the Rawway River. Some of the takeaways were that they

56
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:59.600
completed the bridge specifications and the final design. Green Acres and easement studies are all completed. They plan to go to bid in the fall and award in early December. Uh so school ends next year on June

57
00:22:59.600 --> 00:23:16.400
18th. The plan is for a hard close beginning on June 22nd, 2027 for 10 weeks. So, their plan is to have that bridge out and back in before school opens in 2027. >> Okay.

58
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:31.679
>> Uh all the traffic studies detours were completed. Obviously, we're going to be having some meetings prior to the project with emergency services and public transportation. And I saw the bridge bridge design.

59
00:23:31.679 --> 00:23:48.720
Uh obviously it's going to eliminate the three arches. It'll be a oneb barrel bridge with that open concept. And they did try to maintain the historical look of the bridge with I guess is a good thing. [snorts]

60
00:23:48.720 --> 00:24:05.919
Um moving on to the Corwell Bridge cover. So there hasn't been much activity over there. Reason why is the contractor is waiting on the county to approve a change order to add two storm basins to correct a pitch problem in the road

61
00:24:05.919 --> 00:24:22.480
which will eliminate ponding after the project is over. Once the uh once the change order is approved, they'll install the basins followed by the curbing and pave the road. So, the change order did push the completion date back a little bit. Right now, we're

62
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:40.159
looking at a July 10th completion date. Uh we have a our next paving project is going to be the long awaited Wino and Lynen Avenue. Uh the specs were approved by the DOT. Uh we should be going to bid

63
00:24:40.159 --> 00:24:56.159
over the next two weeks. We're looking at a late summer, early fall for this work to begin. And again, this is a state funded project with a grant of 322,000. Uh the engine the engineering cost was

64
00:24:56.159 --> 00:25:13.360
375. So that's pretty much 85% funded by a state grant. Uh I have a project coming up [snorts] um with lighting. I'm going to we're going to be updating uh all the lighting in all all the main buildings and our

65
00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:30.400
parking lots. Uh that's going to be done by Queen Lighting is going to be performing the work through JCPNL. It's an energy saving program. Uh so they're going to be replacing over 400 lights at a cost to us at $577

66
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:46.480
through that program, which we'll get that money back in savings quite quickly. Um those are just some of the highlights in my report. Everybody has my report. If you have any questions on anything in the report or my bullet points,

67
00:25:46.480 --> 00:26:03.120
>> can you go the noise? I couldn't hear. Can can you go back to the Morris Avenue Bridge? I I I really I was so distracted between the noise in the hallway and you give me one more time. >> Sure. Okay. So, the bridge over the Rawway River, they completed the bridge

68
00:26:03.120 --> 00:26:19.279
specifications and the final design. It's done. Green Acres and the easement studies are all completed. It's done. Uh they plan to go to bid in the fall and it should be awarded in December of this year, obviously.

69
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:35.919
Uh, school ends next year on June 18th. The plan is for them to do a hard close immediately following that on June 22nd for 10 weeks, at which they're telling us that that bridge will come out and go back in, which is possible. It's

70
00:26:35.919 --> 00:26:52.799
probably all pre-cast. Um all the traffic studies were gone uh were done and there'll be meetings prior to uh the project next year. I I see that as being a very logistical

71
00:26:52.799 --> 00:27:09.679
problem. >> They didn't give you any kind of hint as >> I do have some of what they're doing. So coming out of Union, uh when you hit Liberty Avenue, that's going to be the point where uh you'll either be going right or left based on a GVW.

72
00:27:09.679 --> 00:27:28.320
So the lower GVW, probably under 33 GBW would be like a Mason dump and pickup in cars would go to the left. So either you're going to go out, you're going to either hit Route 22 or you would turn on the Miltown Road.

73
00:27:28.320 --> 00:27:43.279
Yeah. Uh, and anything heavier, your heavier GVW trucks would make the right on Liberty. They'll head over to Boxh Hall Road and over through Milbour. I haven't gotten the actual detours

74
00:27:43.279 --> 00:28:01.120
coming down through Springfield, but u I would imagine you're going to hit Maple A and that's going to be it. You're going to have to make a left there. So, um, and they did comment that the, uh, that the detours are going to have

75
00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:16.559
to be constantly adjusted. Um, when you look at something like Miltown Road, when it gets, I mean, if you have the littlest problem over there, it it's backed up all the way to Liberty. Um, just assuming you're going to find impatient drivers are going to

76
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:32.080
start wandering around through Laurel Drive and Smithfield, which is not really going to help them at all. But, um, I think for myself, I think that detours is going to be a little more difficult

77
00:28:32.080 --> 00:28:46.640
than a bridge. >> It would be easier to build another bridge on the side as a temp bridge. Yeah. than it would to >> Wow. >> There's no way commercial is gonna stay >> Wow. >> going up the box. >> Oh,

78
00:28:46.640 --> 00:29:04.640
>> all the GPS, >> you know. So, you do have, you know, some big trucks. You have a lot of tractor trailers. So, again, this is according to them. They're going to tweak this as they move along. >> And it's a prefab bridge though, right?

79
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:20.559
>> Yeah. So, thank God it's in the summertime and hopefully it won't end up getting pushed into the school year because I can't imagine that happening. But they seem to be fairly confident they did all the

80
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:37.279
work. There will be some early preliminary work going on prior to the project, but it's not going to affect the traffic at all. It'll be off to the side of the road. Has [snorts] there ever been a a a car count on Morris Avenue? Ryan,

81
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:53.840
>> I believe they did it um when they did the repaving a few years back. I don't know what it is. I have a contact to the state. I don't know if that guy still works there. >> It's got to be thousands >> daily. >> I mean, this this these conversations have been going on probably what six, seven years.

82
00:29:53.840 --> 00:30:09.200
>> Yes. Yeah. They actually did a presentation I think back in 19 is when they first approached this with with this. And I know for a fact coming out of Union on a regular day around 8:30 9:00 the traffic is backed up all the

83
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:25.919
way down past oh god deep into Union down by college >> way to CVS. I mean, >> oh, it's too long. >> A long it it can take you a half hour to just get from the Springfield line down to Kane.

84
00:30:25.919 --> 00:30:42.159
>> Absolutely. >> Lights that the light on Miltown not going to be sufficient to flow that traffic through. >> But those are all things they they did speak about. I guess we're going to get a little deeper into it in the near

85
00:30:42.159 --> 00:31:02.960
future. unfortunately needs to happen and we hope the flow of the water underneath the bridge. >> Yeah, >> we eagerly await those plans. >> Any other questions for Director Bcher?

86
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:22.320
Captain Westover, >> are you good in terms of your report? >> Yes, sir. Okay, we are moving on to Alex's second favorite part of the meeting. Uh, I'll make a motion to adopt regular

87
00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:37.840
meeting minutes of April 28th, 2026 and regular and executive meeting minutes of May 12th, 2026 as emailed. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I I >> I We're catching up. >> We're doing great.

Uh, new business. Ordinance is on second reading. Madam clerk, the floor is yours. >> Ordinance 202612. This ordinance grants renewal of a municipal consent to Comcast of New Jersey LLC to construct,

97
00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:23.919
planning? So, we did, as uh Deputy Mayor Kaiser just mentioned, this resolution, sorry, this ordinance was actually introduced at the last meeting. Um, that was then sent over to the planning board for a consistency review and for any recommended recommended changes. The planning board did come back with a

98
00:34:23.919 --> 00:34:38.560
couple minor changes, but they were although they were minor, they were significant enough that uh I thought it would make sense to reintroduce the ordinance rather than going through the amendment process. Um the changes from the initial first reading uh really were

99
00:34:38.560 --> 00:34:55.520
just to make it clear that the this is both the westbound side of 22 and the eastbound side of 22 that there'll only be one permitted car wash going each direction. Um it also clarified the uh the limitations in terms of adjacent

100
00:34:55.520 --> 00:35:11.520
property boundaries and and the proximity of one car wash to another. uh and also specifies that the um that there are no manual car washes permitted that it's it's automatic car washes only. Those are the those are the principal changes from the last version

101
00:35:11.520 --> 00:35:26.240
of the ordinance and generally speaking this ordinance allows for car washes in the HC zone uh which is highway commercial and essentially is the area adjacent to the route 22 corridor through Springfield.
