for servicemen here and abroad Thank you Roll call please Mayor Yuber here Deputy Mayor Laurer is absent tonight Committeeman Capid here Committeeman Kaiser present Committeeman
Weber here Thank you We have two proclamations The first one's going to be Vietnam Uh all right Vietnam is when I grew up and I was I had friends and that they were over there I remember we
used to cut school and go to the marine headquarters at five points and sit there all day I said I think about it you say what did we do we sat there and admired them at that time Kids admired
service Thank you for all your service We do appreciate it Chris All right So I have a proclamation Um I'm a Gen X kid My parents are that you know were born
in 1950 and are that generation And my story is is that uh my father's born in 49 goes and lies to the Marine Corps in ' 65 and tells him he's 18 They kick him out Goes back a second time they kick
him out Goes back a third time now he's 17 his mother says "I can't do it anymore." Signs off on him Goes in the Marine Corps So that is 66 Okay By 69 he is
discharged By the mid70s he is sick with Agent Orange Um lot of complications Managed to to to hang tight until 98
Um and and it's it's uh you guys know that when it's over it's not over right you know unfortunately what happens and you see this I guess my generation now would be September 11th right because you're going to see people forever and ever I I
was a you know police officer in New York when it happened and um on the job and we all you know everybody got sent over to to to New York City and so on and uh you see what's going on with that and uh I I don't know you know it it's it's
it's rough Um that generation you the I guess they're boomers right it it was they thought nothing of joining the service at an age where I I my my son
did the same thing My son went and joined at 18 He said "Either going to help me with it or not Join the Marine Corps." I was like "All right I'll help you." Thank goodness I helped him because I had him delivering munitions in the middle of the desert And he scored really high on the ASVAB So we
got him a better gig than that But um you know thank you I'm going to read a proclamation and and and you know I think what ends up happening is uh there's not a way to thank people for stuff like that It's just something that
they did for whatever reason It just clicked in them and that's that's how they did it So um I'm going to read this proclamation It's pretty long So here we go National Vietnam War Veterans Day March
29th On National Vietnam War Veterans Day March 29th we honor all those who bravely served in the Vietnam War and who sacrificed on behalf of our nation Throughout the Throughout the years the Vietnam War 9 million
Americans earned the title of United States Veteran Today and every day we honor their bravery and commitment and give thanks to a generation of Americans who so valiantly fought in the service of the country they love And we recognize the continuing impact on so
many veterans families caregivers and survivors In 2012 our nation launched a 13-year long commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War to ensure that every veteran
family caregiver and survivor impacted by the difficult years in Vietnam feels our nation's gratitude for their sacrifice We pledge never to forget the 58,000 service members whose names are etched at the wall in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to the families of the
more than 1,500 service members who remain missing and unaccounted for know that our nation's efforts to bring them home will never stop Whereas the Vietnam War also known as the Second Indo-China
War was a conflict in Vietnam Laos and Cambodia that began on November 1st 1955 ended with the fall of Saigon on April 30th 1975 with US involvement ending in 73 And
whereas all residents of the New Jersey of the state of New Jersey should memorialize the 1,556 New Jerseyians who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam conflict And whereas US Army Captain Eleanor
Grace Alexander of Rivervale who joined the Army Nurse Corps in May of 1967 was the only woman from New Jersey killed in action and today is one of eight women listed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington
DC And whereas Springfield resident and Silver Star recipient Specialist 4 Dennis Cole age 20 was mortally wounded while placing suppressive fire on the enemy to allow his platoon to withdraw
And whereas when those heroic soldiers marines sailors airmen and coast guard members returned home from Vietnam to a polarized and divided society all New Jerseyians should be united in bestowing the respect and honor these service
members deserve And whereas we must remain v vigilant in assisting those Vietnam veterans who need medical treatment for their physical and mental health Whereas the Township of Springfield
partners with the Church and Canon chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and the United States of America Vietnam War commemoration to remember and honor our Vietnam veterans as well as their families for their courage sacrifice and resolve Now
therefore Richard Huber mayor of Springfield on behalf of the township committee does hereby proclam uh proclaim March 29th 2025 as Vietnam War Veterans Day in Springfield and affirm our ongoing
commitment to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War which began on Memorial Day May 28th 2012 and which will continue through Veterans Day November 11th 2025 5 I call call upon
all residents to seek out and extend their profound gratitude to each of our Vietnam veterans and their families Signed by Mayor Richard Huber
[Applause] Now um Mayor Huber is going to come down and acclamation Sure Yes Okay No he said something in it was worth his
reading but I remember um I come from Awood and going down to Broad Street Newark and the people lined up there for the physical trying to sign up begging to go It's so different now It was
unbelievable You said about volunteering It was unbelievable I never saw anything like Well thank you What the hell vietnam [Applause]
Take your time on it They all got to get a picture That's my That guy's my dude Man I love your grandson Yeah You guys have the microphone The only thing I'm going to request is that we have a fairly bad You have to talk into
it So that'll be quick I didn't get to this rank by turning down a microphone So but I I I promise I'll be quick Hey so uh Marty welcome home Um I do have pins for the rest So um small world the the proclamation talks about the Vietnam
War commemoration which is falls under the office of the secretary of defense um down in Washington DC Um I my name is Ed Crystal I graduated from Dayton Um grew up in Springfield My mom still lives up the street Um I'm the director for the Vietnam War commemoration Um
major general in the Army Um in the National Guard retired state trooper Uh so that that's my assignment now So my mission in life is to lead my team to thank and honor Vietnam veterans and their families And it's a great job Um any of these veterans here can tell you you go somewhere with a shirt or a
uniform on or a hat on Everybody thanks you for your service Everybody wants to buy you a beer everybody wants to buy you lunch something 50 years ago it wasn't like that 50 years ago sadly we treated our veterans and our return at returning warriors very badly We spit on them We assaulted them We as a we as a
nation and we treated them badly We couldn't separate the war from the warrior What I've learned in this job and again I'm going to be quick I promise What I've learned in this job is that we not only treated the returning warriors badly but we treated their families badly I work with gold star family members who tell me stories about how they had their their uh their
mailboxes hit with baseball bats and written on their houses and cars you deserve it um because they felt that their their uh their father or their mother shouldn't have been overseas to begin with So as as was said in 2012 the United States is trying to write that wrong and through presidential
proclamation and through congressional action the Vietnam War commemoration was made Um we cannot do this alone We we estimate there's 7 million Vietnam veterans still living here and abroad We're talking about anybody on active duty between 1955 and 1975 Anybody that
was drafted or enlisted could not self-determine where they went So we we put them all together Um we cannot do it alone We have commemorative partners like the Daughters of the American Revolution like the Sons of the American Revolution like the Township of Springfield and we have throughout the
country we have over 12 thou 13,000 commemorative partners They've held over 28,000 events and we've honored over four million Vietnam veterans So we're very proud of that Um that's all I have to say I do have pins We give out a pin We uh I've I've become friendly with Joe
Call who's uh Dennis Call's brother uh and also some uh gold star family members from Milbourne as well Um but we do give out a lapel pin Uh it's something small but it's from the United States government On the back it says "A grateful nation thanks and honors you." And I do have enough uh to give Marty to bring back to whoever was supposed to be
here tonight Hopefully some of them have it already But again God bless all of you God bless the United States And thanks again for letting me insert myself into your meeting Then we have one more proclamation Save soil
Okay Um this proclamation is on behalf of the township of Springfield for save soil Save soil is a global movement launched by Saguru uniting world leaders visionaries influencers and citizens of
all nations behind common purpose to restore and safeguard the world's soil And whereas save soil aims to address the global soil crisis recognizing that 52% of the world's agricultural soils are already degragated and by 2050 90%
of Earth's soil could be degra degragated And whereas addressing soil degradation issues would bring solutions for the loss of biodiversity nutritional deficiencies food security water scarcity climate change and mass
migration Whereas the proposed solution is to advocate for policies across all nations towards soil restoration and aim to increase organic matter in agricultural soil to a minimum of 3 to 6% And whereas in an effort to raise
raise awareness and activate support from leaders and citizens alike Saguru was on a three 30,000 kilometer journey as a lone motorcyclist covering 27 nations over 100 days since March 21st
2022 Now therefore on behalf of Mayor Richard Huber who is on behalf of the Township Committee of the Township of Springfield do hereby proclaim henceforth March 21st as Save Soil Day in the Township of Springfield as soil is vital to all life and urge all
citizens to be part of the save soil movement to support national policies towards soil restoration and aim to raise the organic matter of soil to a minimum of 3 to 6% be it further proclaim that I urge all citizens to
participate in creating bright futures for our children and the future of our planet [Applause] You're welcome
That look good less than that Okay [Music] I'll try to keep it short and sweet So good evening everyone Mayor Huber SEM council members and resident of
Springfield It's an honor and a privilege to be here as we recognize March 21st as a safe soil day I'll say this is not just a proclamation It's an urgent call to
action for our future Let me just remind you soil is not just dirt Let me repeat that Soil is not just dirt It's the lifeblood of our planet and a legacy for

canvasing the town daily but will not be on a set schedule Please note that loose debris left in the curb will not be collected An additional note on the paper shredding if I may Mr Mayor you're limited to five bags or boxes PSNG update Uh the work on Myel's
been completed Milling from Lynen to Mars is scheduled for April 11th from 7:00 p.m to 5 in the morning All right that's milling Then paving is scheduled on Wednesday April 16th from 7 PM to
5:00 am as long as temperatures are 45 or above If not they're going to have to move it according to the weather Um maybe curb curb to curb Yeah they're going curb to curb right yes Okay And Rockborne and PSG will provide resident
notification along Myel Avenue and adjacent streets Our street Yeah our street sweeper Our street sweeper that was ordered in 24 is in It's at the vendor right now just making sure that everything is working properly This is
going to replace our 2011 unit that is out every day So I think that's kind of paid for itself Um I just wanted to touch on Oakland Park Some people may have seen us over there looking at it Uh
what we are looking at and Councilman Weber stop me or correct me if I'm wrong What we're looking at right now for that is to get that park leveled cleared and opened up as soon as possible If there's anything further that they're looking
we're looking to do at a later date we're trying to make sure that we don't do anything now that would have to be undone to do any phase in the future on our dispatch We're looking at May delivery hopefully of phones of
pooing crossed Fingers crossed And the line that we had the fiber optic fiber line they did find that and brought it into the building now So the phones are kind of our last phase I think everything else has been supplied to the county So we're hopefully we're getting
closer We also had some meetings this week on security cameras We're having a real issue up at the pool with people dumping So we're looking to put some more cameras up there We also had them look at the fire department and we also had them look at town hall for PD We're
going to have to probably go out and get another vendor or two to get some competitive numbers to make sure that what we're getting is valid and then we'll look at it from there make a decision what we will do and won't do I wanted to bring you up to date One of the things that we kicked off I talked
about was we've been bringing in the owners of the businesses on Mars Avenue and and I just want to kind of give you a little sense of what we're seeing because we're excited We're not going to get necessarily new buildings but let me
just give you some updates on 260 and 262 Mars Avenue We had the owner in the other day They've agreed that once the weather breaks that they're going to update the exterior of the building and work will be completed no later than the
end of the summer On 266 Mars Avenue they're going to update the exterior Also that will be completed within the next 6 months On Fort Caldwell we're looking at We looked at Fort Caldwell There's some items there
that need to be fixed but the big one is 295 Caldwell That's that little house that the the psychic was in That building's probably going to get demoed It's it's in very poor condition We're not sure what's going to get done there yet but at least we'll have a clean lot
at that point 243 Morris Avenue They're they're painting the front and the back of the building the exterior They're removing the satellite dishes on the building Repave the rear lot and stripe the rear
lot fix the porch sophets in the rear and remove all debris stored outside 239 to 241 Mars Avenue They also are painting the exterior front and back Repair repave the rear lot and stripe
the spaces The steps in the rear need to be repaired or replaced and fix the flood lights that are in the rear of the lot So as you can see along with the buildings that we're getting the new redevelopment at least we're getting some buildings cleaned up And I think
everybody's probably seen the one building and I'm not sure what the number is It was painted a dark gray New windows were put in That's what we're looking to do with the rest of these buildings If they just get done and cleaned up like that makes a huge difference So we we are getting progress
on those items So if there's any questions or comments I'd be happy to answer public have any comments sit tight We are getting things done You're going to see the downtown is going to improve It's taking a while but we will get there Thank you Thank you

I um just just a quick comment uh uh we earlier today in this this meeting we certainly did a save a soil uh uh uh resolution that you know talked about the effects of climate change I think
it's pretty uh uh evident the cost that is associated with not only Springfield but our entire state our entire nation and entire world of what we're facing currently with climate change And unfortunately it
is a a large bill every time we have a storm And we see it firsthand here whether it be the dealing with uh uh the actual cost of of of picking up debris
after damage that is done uh uh cleanup of our rivers making infrastructure improvements uh uh the like to handle uh all the effects that we currently have due to a rising global
temperature Uh that's not even taking into imagine the the amount of deaths that we have seen here uh from recent flooding right and and crazy uh environmental events uh uh and the loss of life which is unfathomable But uh uh
what's becoming certainly a huge burden on on local governments and the state is the cost associated with it And in Trenton uh uh the the legislature working with the governor is is is
working on uh legislation that would impose liability on the businesses that have uh that have contributed to this climate catastrophe Most notably our largest fossil fuel industry uh uh that
from a time period knew what the effects were going to be So at the end of the day uh what projects infrastructure improvements that need to be made across this state uh Springfield specifically right and in all our communities across
is there's different resiliency projects that have to be done right we we talk about uh making improvements to our pumping stations so that they can handle more uh capacity We talk about uh uh uh uh building uh uh uh dikes throughout to
handle uh uh capture water Uh uh the shores talk about coastal barriers All that comes with a cost So that's either going to be fronted by us the taxpayers or as uh uh uh the legislature is
working on making the the contributors of that pay and and and lessening the burden of the taxpayer So with that uh I think this resolution signals a from us
that uh we need our fair share from the contributors of this and notably Exxon Mobile uh uh Shell uh BP America who for too long knew uh uh what their product would cost and unfortunately we have to
deal with the ramifications of that and getting the the money to make these changes is desperately needed Thank you All right Finance pay some bills Uh uh I'll
make a motion to adopt payroll and invoices for the period of March 12th 2025 through March 25th 2025 in the amount of 1,630,374.82 I'll second Committeeman Kaiser Yes Committeeman Capid Yes Committeeman
Weber Yes Mayor Yuber Yes Thank you Okay Um correspondent Union County Bureau of Mosquito Control information on spraying for mosquitoes
The they can call a town hall and find out where they're going to be spraying Am I correct call the county Or county Yeah all the county and they will let you know where they will be spraying at the time I need to spray Um please before we go to public comment we do
have one question Yes that's what I'm going to Alex going to take care of it Going to read it You want it well I have it I think I have it All right No problem Uh uh this question is from Michael
Barttosh of 77 Tutor Court in Springfield New Jersey His question is uh uh have the mayors of the surrounding towns gotten together with our state legislators and the Army Corps engineers concerning the flooding of the Rawway
River Basin All I watch on the meetings is what happens with the Gomes building It's getting old I please send more questions I love reading Um
uh the as the liaison this year uh to the uh uh Army Corps to the Railway River Basin Mayor's group uh we have not yet met um in the beginning of this year I think a lot of
this I'll take two parts and two points to make Uh this is beyond the state legislature Um this is certainly a federal issue with the Army Corps of Engineers that
need to study this and a few years ago they were given that task and through legislation they're required to continue to give us a response even if it's my understanding even if the towns reject it They have to continue
going back to the drawing board time and time again And that's ultimately what happened last time is the proposal that was proposed was unworkable uh uh for the communities It didn't work for the communities that would have to hold more water through the uh through
the reservoir It wasn't it wasn't feasible and wouldn't necessarily uh the project suggest it might not even qualified for for federal funding because there wasn't a it wouldn't have helped as much as it
could have um at that point in time Normally what happens is the Army Corps of Engineers throws up their hands and says "Okay we gave you a solution If the communities can't make it work we're out of ideas."
Uh thanks to Senator uh Cy Booker at the time there was language that was included in a bill that that was going to be unacceptable for this project Uh so once once they couldn't agree the army corps has to go
back and start over again analysis and maybe come up with another plan Um that takes many years It took many years for that last plan to be uh uh to be I guess issued Um going forward uh uh so the
army corps is per my understanding is still working on a feasible alternative Um I don't know what that feasible alternative is going to be um if it will ever come to fruition but that is where the army corps stands uh the last that I
understand the the the the the towns were exploring uh uh getting their own uh engineers and continuing to do their own studies but once again this takes a lot of time effort and money Um so I don't
necessarily have I I just wanted to rehash that kind of background uh uh and then kind of say hey in the foreseeable future because we do know that another event knock on wood won't happen soon but will probably happen in the future
So we we continue to try to meet uh as frequently as needed and I will certainly update you uh to any new uh uh uh updates that we get from that group And to that point right that's why we we we know that these projects take money
And that's where our other resolution earlier in the night uh ties in any project like this uh whatever solution they eventually come up with whether it's uh uh dredging uh uh the reservoir
in in in Essex County up in Milbour or or widening the channel down the road down the down the road to Clif to to not to Clifton to Cranford all takes money and is is millions and millions of dollars that the local governments don't
have that the county government doesn't have that not even the state has That's going to require at the end of the day large federal funding And unfortunately we have an administration in the federal government right now that is cutting those projects There was a million
dollar investment in Milbour for a pumping station uh that they applied for last year uh through federal funding that was just slashed recently Thankfully our federal dollars came uh uh a number of years ago when our engineerings put it in to to make our
pumping station improvements or we could possibly be in that same group that got slashed So when you're talking about cuts on the federal level of of of in the guise of saying taxpayer money is that saving taxpayers money i would not
think so that's harming people down the road that is unfortunately going to have a old decarpet system when a flood comes and Milbour can't pump out Thankfully that was in Springfield But those are the kinds of cuts that will ultimately affect a project that the Army Corps of
Engineers comes up with when it doesn't have the funding uh uh to make those improvements To to follow up on one thing that you were saying um because you We just had the lights done at Meiselle And that was
a fouryear announcement Yeah All right It took four years to get the lights at Meiselle There are a lot of people that are asking about the driveway The driveway The driveway I'll just you know I've changed my stance on it and here's my opinion on it
Now uh if you asked me last year I was one of the biggest pushers to get the driveway paved I am not so confident now that I would want to take the responsibility of paving the driveway and finding it
upsets the balance of water that Meiselle Laurel Lynen South Maple Colonial all those places take We need to find ways to cut impervious right i'm hoping that an engineer or from the county or somebody who has a
better a better idea than just black topping it or whatever comes up with something but it I it's a little bit more deeper than just paving a driveway and walking away I I would feel horrible if we pushed so much for that driveway to be paved and find out that
it tore up people's houses because there's a lot of smarter people than us here right that that that actually can do those calculations Nothing is as simple as paving right even your driveway uh when they rehash right they slope it so that it goes out that it's
no one should just take asphalt and just cover it It's not that simple So uh uh and I know these seem like simple things but they're really not Every small little thing that that occurs accumulates right one one little drop of
water eventually becomes a a a a major flood right that's how it every flood starts So uh we do have to be smart A lot of this takes time I know that's not what anybody wants to hear but uh there's a lot of smarter people working on this that need time to try to solve a
solution And thank you environmental commission for changing my mind on that Um there's one other thing John have we ever heard or about they seen the Mars Avenue
tunnels have we heard anything about that bridge yeah Yes we have We just signed off actually right we just had to sign off on that to let them um Yeah there's a resolution actually
before I believe it's coming before the committee on the 8th of April Um we had to sign off on it agreement Which bridge are you talking washington and and Mars Yeah Okay the state the state's at the point where now where they've asked us to sign an agreement relating to certain
engineering costs and things like that which will be the responsibility of the DOT So they're we're one step closer to them beginning that project I don't know if we have a time they didn't they didn't put a time on it and to show you talk about time that's got to be
is it 2010 Thank you I I know it was a long time second time first time the Model T was going over it but okay I just wanted to bring that out to people realize Okay Public comment on any government
issues Anybody seeing none public portion is closed That's it I'll make a motion to adjurnn I second All in favor i opposed
Thank you Have a good night
