##VIDEO ID:2iL-GB1UirE## in compliance with the open public meetings at 197 231 the notice requirements have been satisfied the meeting dates for the year are confirmed that the annual meeting are posted on the public bulletin board in the lobby of the municipal center and published in the record within the first 10 Days of the New Year salute to the flag e e actually let's start from the beginning these would be only for micro licenses um as you can see in the notes the owner or 50 or more than 50% of the owners have to be a resident of tonfly or neighboring municipality all the uh employees have to be from the same Zone there is a 1,000 cell limit per month and all the other limits in the notes and if you guys want to pull up the zoning Maps if you have one uh it's to be so cm1 and SRB is the northern border of tunnel fly to about the I want to say Mr Walk area area maybe a little North that on Pont yeah so that whole that's those three zones B1 is the downtown and B2 is the Dean Street the sliver the the dental office and the southern part next to Dutch cleaners so I have a so perfect Dan thank you I just have a a general question before we kind of start having any knocking around details does the council want to move forward with figuring out a way to approve this whatever the details if Dan just finish I know spoke with other members of the oh as in the chief chief of police I talked to him last night uh when this first came around he was uh a little nervous about how it would be handled he said let the other towns deal with it uh he saw throughout the county uh Rell Park and fortly zero issues he's all he's all good and has no concerns that their security plans are Top Notch they just have to be Lauren question how does it work if it's a micro license do we still get the percentage yes the tax part is at the end of this memo it is 2% for the manufacturer 1% for wholesaler 2% for retail and to put that into perspective roell Park made over a million dollars last year of one store that's a full that's a full retail store but uh two micro at 2,000 lb per month ju just to keep in mind though the the roell park stor is on Route 17 and it's a massive it's a massive operation it's a massive operation so you know some questions council members might want to consider is just how many people you want to come to a store to to make that type of money because yes that that's it's a huge it could be a huge impact even the Fort Lee store is also full is full a lot of the time so those are questions for yourself when I was on the first version of this committee when it first rolled out and the chief had his concerns the feedback I got from residents was not a large appetite for cannabis retail that is what I heard um so uh I'm not you know like I said with the amount of traffic that it that I've seen it attract in some places you know it's not my top issue I would be more open to you you know the manufacturing or wholesale perhaps but retail I have some concerns but you know that's just feedback I've gotten also from other uh members of the community how about this how about we just go around the table and everyone just kind of say what their particular view is um before we start getting into details to have a sense of the direction we want to go to start uh go ahead I think the most important thing again I jul and I were on the first time I put a lot of value on the chief at the time the chief said it wasn't something that he wanted to kind of go first on um the fact that Chief's supportive of it now I feel better about it um you know obviously we have to look and we could be particular about the size and where it is you know in Fort Lee that's like 800 trillion Acres of space that's a huge building like there's real that's a full-on license correct nothing like that would ever happen in ten ofly also for Le is right by the bridge I bet there's just a lot of traffic there I think and I would ask and want ours to be a bit more Mom Mom and Pop yeah that's why you know there's a couple I did speak to there a couple uh folks that have been interested in it a couple years ago and then recently these are more residents you know I like I'm pretty I read from the stuff that you Wendy did you know we're looking for people that live around our area so the whole concept B I'm certainly open to it but again this is just the beginning we would need to see the other picture but this is the beginning I think it's the nature it makes a lot of sense one of the things that got me in these conversations was if we don't the next to it's a rare opportunity to generate occy places knows number people Lauren would sure so I have not seen huge successes in the small towns of cannabis so far um it is a nimi not in my backyard situation where initially when this rolled out everyone said well let the next town do it and then we'll see um right now our local residents I know are going to the next town um but I don't see the next I mean unless you're going to do these Mega stores I don't really see it generating the type of Revenue that tly might want our residents have other sources I mean I know most of my friends sorry they're going in New York City to the city dispensaries and coming home with it they're not wanting to buy it in their local backyard I will say that some of the stores downtown are not necessarily abiding by the age restrictions and there's concerns that the chief had raised last time around about the access to the underage stuff in the local in our to yeah we don't have we don't have it legally we don't have it legally right so that's a whole separate right right corre black the black market will always exist don't don't worry about that completely agree but I'm saying one of when I was on police commission one of the concerns was you know how do we regulate underage use and local use and walking from you know the teenss on the weekends or it's kind of crazy they're ubering to the stores or to the places getting things and then going back to wherever they're hanging out um I'm not against cannabis I'm all for actually cannabis Strangely I actually do this advocacy on the state level I work with a lot of cannabis Advocates um to create a scheme but the scheme has to be right for us to open up our town to it I do have a lot of hesitations the micro micr licensing is interesting but again I still need the police to be able to regulate I need us to be able to control so I I'm not seeing a ton of that in place still the doubles are the details to you correct okay okay all right Jamie so I'm for it I it's legal just like is legal we my experience is in these stores are nicer than any liquor store that I've ever been in I think security wise it has more security than any um any place that I've ever been in and um I think some Revenue better than giving Revenue to another town and I know that our residents are going to the town next door they're not all going into the city they are going to um dispensaries close by and I'd rather that money be used to you know go back to the residents of the town so to me it's it's it's a no for me Julie uh yeah no so I mean uh just a quick question is does Bergenfield or tck getting it or not t is T is getting uh what's that question is T getting one is your question yeah is T getting one t is on the angle L Leia border but yes they are getting one um so yeah no I mean I I understand that the majority of the council wants to pursue uh the questioning of this you know I'm just saying that I studied it in its first I generation I'm I'm not uh all in I'm just going to tell you from the start so I'd have to be convinced eventually but that's where I am right now so Dan is it safe to assume you're in favor of this concept yes yes you are all right so what would be the next step to to help clarify details the council pick the right details can I ask one more question yeah just on the zoning um I just want to make sure we weren't zoning originally next to or close to schools and church and religious centers it specifically has to be away from that yes but B1 will be um and I actually think this that zone will disqualify that area if you're 200t from a school or a relig the definition of that will disqual the same as liquor it will disqualify most of B1 okay I mean that's really whatting okay area has to be far away like M carel and Mount Carmel there the zoning the that restriction itself will disqualify a lot of the downtown so so Dave and Gabby how do well obviously all the details have to be gotten into off site how do you get suggestions from Council Members what do you think I think you have a three person committee right correct so I would I would reference it back to them and what we need to do is is to have the Govern body authoriz r or direct to ordinance for introduction so it sounds to me like what you probably want to do is have this committee work with Wendy to develop that and then bring the draft ordinance back for it to be considered and move forward from that I think it needs to go to planning board as well for the master plan review board after after we okay right all right so that's what I'm going to ask for I need to get a consensus from the council to have um Wendy and Gabby put a draft ordinance together to return back to the council and they're going to work with the cab commit get this done everybody good with that put a draft together okay you have Clarity on that I do all right okay thank you thank you all right thank you everyone short-term rentals um so this issue has been raised over the issue of airb Airbnb and ten fly yes so um this draft was prepared back um after the December meeting so it's limited to regulate rentals of 30 days or less um so we're just looking here for your feedback um if it's too much at 30 days um we can choose to regulate shorter terms such as seven or 14 um but if you allow us your thoughts on this we can move forward to the next steps this is what we already yes coun yeah she's just asking right the council's free to change its mind I do have a question just I'm going to throw out there uh about the permitted uses okay 101 13-3 talks about member of a housekeeping unit and then house guest it kind of doesn't or Does it include you know families and nannies and household help and employees um I think that's a good question I think that's probably a place where we could be a little bit so that to be expanded that could be expanded go ahead Lauren your hand was up first and I just want to say that I know that um public comment is later but there are residents here who want to speak on this issue allow public comment on this issue yeah we typically would do that we're just going to wait for the council to make their comments and then have a question it's a penalty of $1,000 total do we feel like that's enough to disuade someone from doing it if I'm making a lot of money I'm renting my house for week you know I might be okay with paying penalty build it build it into the price it's a thousand a day oh a day oh sorry yeah the following sentences each day of such violation shall be new never mind the the World Cup the World Cup yeah come on World Cup just put it into the house price it's about the it's about when we enforce it too right so so enforcement so enforcement is going to be an issue of People residents are going to have to report it to the burrow because the police department and the building department is not going to know unless we're told exactly and uh social media posts are not going to help that's not that's not going to be reporting do we want to make any exceptions for large events like the World Cup we don't have to make an exception if we're not if we're not enforcing it at a certain time well also if someone's right the World Cup World C last how long month weeks so you rent it for five weeks instead of four and you're legal or 31 days 32 depending on the month could be Rel Mass tax supp specifically to the to like a hotel tax almost a shortterm occy tax run around 12% CH about or years it's real and so we would like people1 days you play S Rentals but the town makes a lot of we consider there is is that are we being shortsighted in that and I agree we're not a vacation town we are a resent town but just to put that out there in the event that there were exceptions the event we people apply to an exception exception to carry tax that we can should be an exception but it's been a meaningful to those their vacation other comments yes Lauren I'm kind of a Jamie here that the it is a little low the the penalty I don't know you have a really nice house know I have a tiny house and and you know I'm not worried I'm not worried about my house but the but the houses on my street have been rentals numerous times and they flip around and in between flipping around they get short-term rentals all the time I mean there's one that's a permanent rental it's a lot that's a nice I'm not staying here for the mayor's there because we do want we want to deter it before it occurs instead of enforcing it later after it I mean that's really the goal here I think we're all Julie Mr Mayor I remember one of the things you had brought up the last time is the idea of um that people who rent it for filming just wanted was that that was address that's in here right yes okay so people can rent and they pay and there's fees they pay to the burrow and all that good stuff correct okay all right so I'm going to ask if there's any members of the public here unless the council has more questions all right any members of the public want to speak in the chambers here today on this topic only yes please now just come to the microphone give this your name but not your address and not the address thing is a new rule very specific hi my name is Richard fonte and I'm here with my fiance Christina scolaro she's uh thank you thank you the mayor is scheduled to marry us on the 15th yeah so uh um so Christina has been a resident of tenly for over a decade and just this past year we bought a home together and I can't tell you where in tanly um and it was great for a couple of months until our neighbor moved out directly across the street and we thought another family was moving in Christina has a 16-year-old and a 13-year-old and there was a we thought a young uh a family with a young girl was moving in great turned out it wasn't the case and it's an Airbnb it's list it's actively listed every day right now now for about $400 a night and it's pretty consistently rented uh at least one night a weekend if not both and most of the time it's fine like you know there's it's a nice thought that people think that our street is someplace to vacation or to get away from wherever they live you know every day so I appreciate that but with it you know they're obviously transient and that's a little bit of a you know just stressing security concern at least 50% Christina estimates 75% of the time the plates are out of state doesn't mean they're bad people but it just kind of elevates my concern a little bit and beyond that um it's usually a group and there are parking issues so my understanding that is you know there's already a law prohibiting overnight parking there's you know five or 10 cars on the Street on the weekends which is a particular Challenge on our culdesac with us getting in and out but that's you know specific to this location um the garbage is not tended to routinely so it just sits at the top of the driveway because the owner doesn't get there but you know once a week or whatever it is so it's you know unsightly it's unkempt it's security issues and uh we're just you know distressed about the whole thing so thank you for taking up the issue and hopefully we can vote against it thank you thanks uh Omar is there anyone online who would like to speak on this topic only anyone online who would like to speak please raise your hand see no hands mayor okay so we'll close public comment on this topic so Gabby what's the next uh what's the next step here um if you would just direct us to continue we can finalize the ordinance keeping in mind your comments and bringing back everyone good with that yes okay let's do go ahead sorry the one thing I would ask is whether or not the ordinance deals with uh air the advertising on um Airbnb or vbo okay I think if if we whichever way the council go is if you prohibit it or allow it one you want to get fees if you're going to allow it two you want to make those organizations aware of the prohibition so that advertisements aren't on our websites if in fact we go towards prohibition say that again B right effecs it yeah and it's my understanding and I think uh Wendy had confirmed this that State preempts and and regulates anything over 30 days that's so right so someone Rents It for 60 days it's state correct so next meeting it would be in the first reading ordinance just explain oh yes it would be in the first reading um and then we can we'll take it throughout the normal process so we come back and you can do some more public comment if you would like so if you could give the clerk privately your address I'll pass that along to the police chief about overnight parking okay very good let's move on to the next topic thanks for coming here tonight by the way and I'll see you in a couple of weeks and you're welcome to stay or you're welcome to go all right so we have this uh skip the stuff ordinance that I think uh Dr OK put on the agenda here which is essentially um go ahead why don't you explain it oh did you want to do you want me to no I mean basically the summary is the restaurants don't give out the plastic utensils you have to ask for them perfect no change it I just printed I just printed out what's linked there um so this as Le on to environmental commission this was uh one of the things they were interested in uh roughly a dozen towns have passed it so far including Monmouth Beach westfields Hoboken you're looking at uh that ordinance Jersey City Red Bank and basically um the restaurant owners would save money while the streets are cleaner and we reduce plastic pollution and uh this just simply requires customers of takeout food to ask for the plastic utensils instead of them automatically being put in your bag have we talked to any of the restaurants at all so we I didn't talk to them but I know that tenly already does this they do and tenly Diner they do an upcharge when you they'll say do you want the utensils and if you say yes then they charge you um so I don't I don't think this is going to be just have um so I don't think this will be a hard sell but um it's kind of a win-win they don't I don't they're not looking to to pay more to to give a lot of plastic utensils but to to your point Mr Mayor I as liais on with the Board of Health um I was actually speaking to council president Michaels about this that uh I'm always communicating with Ruby who does the the inspections the restaurants so if the council decides to pass this I I would also have her help me with that communication of that law cuz she's there anyway for the restaurants and and say Hey you know you don't need to give the utensils unless asked congratulations again see you soon good night go ahead no please um if it works for you what I'd like to do is let me send a note to the chamber copy you on it and we'll get their alignment as well again it sounds like a one other comment I have though the vine at $2,000 is is just from the symbolism is a little seems a little honorous if Airbnb finds $1,000 a day double Define for giving out plastic utensils It Out by accident well that's Hoboken but it says here including but not limit to app not to exceed $2,000 not to exceed right I just think it's too big of a number right so I I think we' reduced that to the Thousand it's consistent with the me right it just it just sounds inconsistent I think it's just poorly Britten right right so we'll blame that on gab I think we would have Wendy do our own ordinance with the same and in our case the enforcement would be the health officer and the co- enforcement officer okay all right so um Adam you're going to CC me theber one at a time I will yes I'll send a note to the chamber cop okay and if if there's a if there's alignment then would the first ordinance reading next next meeting we can prepare that for you thank you all right very good you guys good with that right all right budget hearing meeting schedule anybody have any issues with this or questions so I I was uh fine with things I just wanted to point out I sent this note to David that the 19th is I think the kids are off from school not going anywhere but I just wanted to throw that out there oh sorry 18 I think we're back I think we're back Ino it's snow day so then yeah don't do that day then

comment audience members wishing to speak will have a three-minute time limit to address the governing body on items on and off the agenda large groups are asked to have a spokesperson represent them Omar is there anyone in the chambers looking to make a comment see no hands mayor is there anyone online who uh wants to make a comment no hands all right we're going to close thank you Omar we're going to close public comment does anyone have questions for the administrator's report no okay I had a question I'm sorry and again I need to be um filled in on the topic but the Little League field I did have a question we're not going with natural grass a general big topic yeah so the in this is for the infield only at this point and the grant uh the infield being artificial turf will help with our ADA requirements under the grant uh that's how Andy H had written it to give it that sort of Niche um I will tell you in meeting with the little league representatives and Andy and Mike cassley on site the Little League leadership would prefer to have the entire field be Turf eventually so one of the things that I had discussed before I came off was that this field was going to be converted for both baseball and softball and softball has a dirt in field and so it was supposed to be able to be versatile for both the girls and boys um and why can't you play softball on a tur field doesn't what Jam's been a part of obviously SLE is a key the key part for us coming is we're using it more and the town's using it Jamie's been a key part of it yes she's beened she was out at the at the field the day that we you don't play like the turf grass that's never a softball field I personally would because I'm a softball coach but that's going to interfere with our commitments under the grant for I'd like to so maybe David you and I take this offline and fill me in on what's been happening and then I can maybe talk to Jamie because again the purpose of this was that it is for both softball and baseball yeah and with the materials for this uh mayor It's all under um State Contractor the bery County cooperative so we won't need to go out to a bid process perect right we're only getting the best prices we can okay all right moving on to uh to new business okay all right we're ready here yes okay we're going to start with 2501 placement of recycled leaves I typically start on my left

okay uh consent agenda any questions on the consent agenda yes all right yes were you first my head was down go ahead go ahead so I was uh I had a question regarding uh resolution r25 d58 for the add additional professional Engineering Services um I wanted to ask about that because I I know I've spoken to Adam I know that the little league uh Community themselves had really wanted this area and I thought that this because I mean it's clear that I think it was to be in compliance with the storm water regulations um that there's an upcharge if you will on these on these Engineering Services I was wondering if that was something the Little League might uh be able to fund since they're the the one you know we've already kind of invested a lot in this area and so question is can little le pay for some of this yeah so we or I think you havec Dr I spoke about this so there's two things one um actually the LI is eager we we disced they're line that they want to as we continue to invest they want to sort of co-invest with us um I don't know about this particular one and the speed of which we're trying to do this um again $1,000 so um I just don't know if they're kicking off March is there yeah kick off we're trying to get this work done by the end of March so we don't so I think that's when they're going to do start some of the fundraising I can to because I spoke to them about it is whether they come in personal or they read a memo for the council what their plans are and how we feel comfortable about their plans to to help us with the the fundraising and one about some other unencumbered areas we talking about so that was the thing that I don't know David if there's other places like budget wise that could be used that have not been incumber we could use for this it's the beginning of the year so I know it's harder than usually the end of the year but we can take a look at that the reason I said talked to Adam about this I have some concerns that it I know automatically I say okay open space but we start you know 14,000 here or 20,000 here you know we we always have rather large projects in open State um so that that was my concern so that we could possibly let me talk let me confirm Susan about the it and we'll get back to you yeah I mean the resolution uh I would pass I would ask you to pass the resolution and we'll uh look at the line on of charge I'm not sure off hand if we have any any U availability in the temporary budget for 145 for this so may need to go into open space at least for now house I don't know Susan are you prepared to answer that right now or so I see that it's being charged against Capital line right now no 2558 it in compliance with with storm she's right to be in compliance with storm we yeah that was inal we 25- 58 yeah okay I mean we $75,000 this the that we did for $75,000 I believe so yeah so that's where okay all right so there's so it's out of capital thank you Lauren please respond to Julie first and then I'm going to do my comment second first our residents pay taxes and we separated out into open space for the purpose of open space and Recreation of green spaces to ask them to pay twice now I think is very disingenuous of our Council we have open space to be used to maintain did I ask to pay twice did did I do that it's not that I'm saying twice I'm saying if you now they've paid their taxes we've put it into open space to ask the little Le board to now collect from our residents again for the 145 I think is a problem and I don't think we should be ask keep keep something one thing here about the little Le field Lauren might be Lauren okay one at a time Lauren I I do think this is important to mention about the Little League fields Mr yeah so the little league is there option in their offer to help fund raise amongst donors to contribute to this field that's understand I was part of that right so it's not taxpayer money per se because if it's donors writing a check of their own free will it's kind of a different level thing that's something to pay for this if there wasn't another source the background here is that this is an amazing thing that we did last year the school who's owned the field said they don't want to pay a dollar we've done some amazing things and the school again was recognizing that the town collects open space for wreck and hoping that we would use it in this project the town collects open space we can also pay for your salaries but that's probably not how open space is I mean we use open space on a pretty regularly consistent basis for a very nice project this is a very good just because you have the money you have to plan for how to spend you can't just chip away you know I really feel very strongly and one of the things I'm going to continue to say this year is that we are foring our open space rather than using it for our community you're supposed to needs to be applied I haven't been here the last year but yes as needed as required under the open space law so good and this is a perfect project but so let me get to my second comment and that is um if if we are questioning the use of turf or is that so far down the line that I can't even question it now because I'd hate to have a storm water Budget on Turf if Turf is still going to be discussed well it's already down the road for the turf at the infield I mean the beautiful thing about Turf is you get so much more use out of the field and I I'm not clear why softball can't be played on its Earth field it doesn't it's a s it's it's a I just don't there's no grass in the infield so that's what we any other questions about the conent okay can I get a motion to approve resolutions R 25-55 through r25 d58 Mo I have a second second Omar please call the role

that uh we wouldn't have that that facility available until at least the end of February um which is Fast Forward because the original concept from C was that it wouldn't be available at all for this winter season so yes yeah they the they put the concrete walls in they need to cure for a period of time so that curing time isn't quite so you'll see activity quite rapidly in the next couple weeks counc Michel Julie yes so um thank you for interest in the skip the stuff ordinance that was one of the agenda items for environmental commission and um for the Grove Street Park uh the Green Team uh was wanting to know about how to a lot the ADA Compliant flower beds so um just to let everyone know that the Grove Street Park which was funded by open space uh has the ADA Compliant flower beds and those are kind of up next for people who are differently able to be be able to uh reserve for those flower beds so the Green Team wanted to know how many flower beds there will be and if we could get that answer by kindergan so that they can make their process of how to um divy those up divvy up those lots the specifications are in the plans so I can get those specifications for you the number I believe is U it's either four or six but off the top of my head but I'll get you the number four or six but are those like um I guess it would be the specification then they would say to me they would say okay then that makes me four are they four by eight or and and so they the goal is under the spec to be at least uh 18 in off the ground no more than 30 and that will be ADA Compliant yes no that's fantastic so they they just want I told them because you said that we should be ready for some sort of unveiling in February so I them kind like a rib um I would probably say more like April
