Um, 27 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:52.720 I'm going to uh say a few words and then uh we're going to have the coaches and the girls curls, we're going to have you come up one at a time and uh we'll present you with your certificate and if 28 00:16:52.720 --> 00:17:24.000 uh you could remain standing uh then we'll take a photo. Actually uh maybe my coaches could come I think that would that would help us. UM, I'm proud uh to recognize an extraordinary group of young athletes 29 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:42.240 who have brought a historic achievement to our town. For the past three seasons, this team has competed in the highly competitive Midamet Basketball League, facing more than 20 towns across Hamoth 30 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:58.320 and Ocean counties. This season, the girls entered the playoffs determined. They opened with a 21point victory over Manalapen. Amazing. followed by a hardfought three-point 31 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:16.400 quarterfinal win against Howell. In the semifinals against Point Barrow, the girls held a strong 10-point lead in the first and second half, earning a fivepoint win and their first trip to the finals. in the championship game 32 00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:31.600 against their biggest rival mall. Um the the back-to-back league champions, the girls trailed the entire way. I actually saw these videos and they were down by eight with two minutes 33 00:18:31.600 --> 00:18:55.679 left. They refused to give up, closing the gap with a strong final push to force overtime where they took the lead and secured THE WIN. WITH that victory, these athletes 34 00:18:55.679 --> 00:19:21.760 secured the first female championship at any grade level in the 30 plus year history of the Midmouth Basketball. Uh well, as as we all know, no championship season is ever possible 35 00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:40.720 without the dedication of coaching staff who guided the team who guided the team with patience, leadership, and a deep commitment to player development. Their ability to prepare, motivate, and support these athletes played a crucial role in the 36 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:58.960 team's growth in achieving this historic milestone. Can I have the coach's certificates? um for coach Craig Kaitley in recognition of your exemplary leadership and service as coach of the Tintin Falls 37 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:14.320 fifth grade girls basketball team. Through your guidance and commitment, you led the team to its first girls championship in three decades of midmouth basketball the play, elevating the standard of excellence for the Titan 38 00:20:14.320 --> 00:20:43.039 Falls community.

Okay, first up is one of our better players. She gives me a headache, I say more often than not. It's Brooklyn 40 00:21:22.000 --> 00:22:17.840 Barry. Next up, um I'll I'll say she's my favorite player because I have to. Uh she's definitely a team leader. Uh a big part of the the the championship for sure. No gay. >> Uh this this young lady stepped up huge 41 00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:48.240 in the championship game. Got uh two buckets in the last minute to get us in overtime. Two time game time buckets. It is huge. Mila Lu K. >> Uh this player really stepped up late in the season. Um you know, we needed it. 42 00:22:48.240 --> 00:23:17.440 She improved entire way uh and and really gave us a lot of good minutes late in the season. was a big part of the championship. Maggie Kajin. >> Thank you. >> This girl has been been with us all three years uh through it all. A very good player on our team. Uh always comes 43 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:44.400 happy, excited, ready to practice, ready to get in games. Katie Jarvis, >> another girl who's been with us three years. Uh, plays a lot of minutes. Great role player. Uh, goes out and plays hard every every minute she's out there. 44 00:23:44.400 --> 00:24:31.120 Lilia Kramer. Mother Gordon's been with us all three years. Uh been always committed, always there, wanting to get in, wanting to play, giving us good minutes, putting in great effort. Caitlyn Fighter another player with us all three years. 45 00:24:31.120 --> 00:24:59.039 Uh she might not have a lot of hype for basketball, but she does have a lot of heart and and love to see out there in the court. Julie Gos. This girl's been with us two years. She loves the game. Always wants to improve, always working to improve. Uh, great to 46 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:30.159 have on the team, Hannah Dabbing. Uh this young lady's been with us all three years. Uh might play harder than anybody else we have when she's on the court. So much effort on defense all over the place. Uh great great role player for us and and always giving it 47 00:25:30.159 --> 00:26:04.080 everything she's got. Just got to give her to give get her to give more high fives. Sam confessor. >> Last but not least, another player I've done with all three years. Uh she's always put in effort, improving every year, and you can just see it in her. She she wants to get better and and I really 48 00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:27.200 appreciate everything she does for the team coming out and her goalie. Uh really appreciate the mayor and the council having us out here. Uh it is a big achievement for these girls. Like like the mayor said, it's been 30 plus years of the league. No team from Ton Falls for the girls has ever won. So 49 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:42.960 that's basically more than 100 seasons. Uh and these girls were the first ones to get it done. So really impressive. Uh the two things I would say the reason why they're world champions, they're a great team. They they're ultimate teamwork. They get along great, which is is great as a team for games. It could 50 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:58.159 be a real headache at practices how well they get along, but that's a different story. But there's no fighting. There's no selfishness. They they know their roles in the team when they play to those roles. And that's why we're champions here. You know, I'm not going to lie and say we're the most talented team out there. We're probably not. But 51 00:26:58.159 --> 00:27:14.880 we played more as a team than any other team in the whole league. So that's what one of the big reasons why they're champs. And the other reason they never give up. The quarterfinal game against How down seven points late in the second half. The team that team had beaten us pretty good in the regular season. Wasn't look good, but we chipped away. 52 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:31.279 Chipped away. They got it done with it. A hard fought three-point win. Championship game against Ball who's beaten us more times than we had beaten them. Uh, you know, if you had told me before the game we're going to score 11 points in the first 22 minutes and then score 19 points in the final uh 2 53 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:45.919 minutes in overtime, I I wouldn't have believed me. But they never gave up. It was an incredible finish to the game. One of the greatest teams I've been ever been a part of for them. I'm sure would will be as well. And it'll be tough to top that in the coming year. So, I'm just really proud of all the girls and thanks for all them for coming out and 54 00:27:45.919 --> 00:29:38.320 honoring them tonight. Ready? One, two, three. Take a couple. suck too for sure. Yeah, >> before proceeding to the next agenda item, we will take a short threem minute 55 00:29:38.320 --> 00:32:56.720 break.

When you come up to speak, please clearly state your name and town for the clerk. You will have three minutes and all remarks must 108 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:30.000 remain respectful and follow the rules noted in the agenda. At this time, I would like to ask the clerk if there are any uh public comments were submitted prior to the meeting via email. >> There were none. >> Thank you. If there's anyone who like to speak this evening, you can come up now. 109 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:56.319 Yes. >> My name is Daniel Deetsz. I live here in Tintton Falls. Uh, is it okay if I hand you guys some papers? >> That's fine. >> Yeah, there's like nine copies here. Good evening, Mayor Clay, Council 110 00:47:56.319 --> 00:48:12.319 President Nessie, and members of the council. Um, again, my name is Daniel Deetsz. >> My family has called Tinton Falls home since 1977. My roots run deep here. My father served this burrow on numerous boards, dedicated years to our safety as an EMT 111 00:48:12.319 --> 00:48:27.599 and chief of the Tinton Falls Fire Company, number one. Following in those footsteps of service, I've had the privilege of serving on the board of ed for Mammoth Regional. Uh, and I currently spend my time coaching youth baseball and basketball. Um, I mention this because I care deeply about this 112 00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:44.000 town, uh, the same town that attracted my parents in the 70s and continues to attract young families today. Uh, as Tinton Falls grows, we must ensure that oversight grows with it. Right now, we are a ship drifting without a compass regarding residential dog breeding and 113 00:48:44.000 --> 00:49:01.200 pet density. We have strict rules for livestock and chickens. Yet, our code is silent on highdensity breeding operations in residential backyards. I see this as an opportunity for this council to act proactively before a lack of oversight allows these situations to get out of control. We shouldn't wait 114 00:49:01.200 --> 00:49:15.760 for a neighborhood to be disrupted by noise and sanitation issues before we decide what a hobby is versus a business. Neighboring towns have already set a course for us to follow. For example, Freehold and Bel have established common 115 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:31.920 sense caps on pet density, while Wall Township uses square footage requirements to ensure that as density increases, the standard for humane care remains high. By establishing a density per square foot rule or a hobby breeder permit, uh you're protecting the 116 00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:47.520 character of our neighborhoods for the next generation of kids that I'll be seeing on the ball fields every weekend. Um there will be a gray area that comes up uh regarding new legislation. Uh so to protect our current responsible pet owners, I would recommend a grandfather 117 00:49:47.520 --> 00:50:04.079 approach which would require a simple registration of existing animals. Uh and we can protect these families for the natural life of their pets while still stopping the immediate expansion of highdensity breeding in our neighborhoods. This ensures we write the ship for future without causing undue 118 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:19.200 hardship today. Um, again, I've given you all a summary of how our neighboring towns have handled this problem, and I I'd like you all to keep a copy of it. Uh, let's protect the quality of life that my family has spent 50 years helping to build. Thank you. 119 00:50:19.200 --> 00:50:44.559 >> Thank you, Mr. Deetsz. >> Anybody else? Good evening. Ellen Goldberg, 90 Glennwood Drive. Um, before I begin, I have quite a bit that I need to say and mostly it's um thanking people. So, I'd 120 00:50:44.559 --> 00:51:02.000 like a little leniency on the three minute. Am I allowed >> if you speak quick? >> I'm trying, but I have a lot to say. Um, this so this is regarding two different things. Um, so, uh, as far as the inear 121 00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:19.520 festival, I wanted to extremely thank the DPW for everything that they did to help run the fourth annual Titan Falls Environmental Festival. They have been delightful to work with uh, in all of the time that it takes to plan this festival. a special 122 00:51:19.520 --> 00:51:34.000 acknowledgement to Caitlyn, Danielle, and Brian for all that they did and so much time that they helped spend um preparing for this. I additionally want to acknowledge all of the members of the environmental commission and the green 123 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:51.200 team for their participation in getting vendors uh being a part of meetings and or braving the elements to be there. Unfortunately, as has been stated, the weather was awful for the third time of four years that this event has been 124 00:51:51.200 --> 00:52:06.800 held. Congratulations goes out to all of the Tintinfall students who entered the poster contest. The posters will be displayed here at Burough Hall for a month and then at our Titten Falls library for an additional 125 00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:23.920 month. There were multiple winners of bigger prizes and everyone that submitted a poster received a goodie bag of environmental items except for the three that are still at my house waiting for someone to pick them up. Um, thank you to the school districts for 126 00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:39.520 supporting this contest. Finally, oh, and the Girl Scout troop. I have to mention them, too. Finally, I must thank all of the residents who, like I said, brave the elements. It was cold, raining and windy. However, we had a terrific 127 00:52:39.520 --> 00:52:54.880 number of vendors and they most of them were very happy and spoke to me about being um impressed by the number of residents that did come out. Uh I also want to take credit for moving 128 00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:11.680 the tables further in underneath the pavilion because it was so much better than we've had in the past. Um, on another note, I am beyond thrilled that the state passed the law regarding skip the stuff and now the bureau is showing 129 00:53:11.680 --> 00:53:28.800 support by hopefully passing the resolution. We are hoping to get around town and inform all of the food establishments um of the state law and the burough resolution. The green team and the environmental commission are discussing ways to recognize the food 130 00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:52.319 establishments that will be following this law. Thank you very much. >> Buzzer beater. Thanks. >> Would anybody else like to speak this evening? >> Good evening. My name is Anthony 131 00:53:52.319 --> 00:54:09.920 Chickaliss. I live on Yale Cordon Falls and I was informed a couple months ago by someone on the council as to why a request that I made along 132 00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:30.000 with uh Mr. to modify the uh discharge of firearms issue. Why it wasn't being enacted by the council? I was told that we just we just didn't receive many 133 00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:48.400 calls as to the problem. Let me explain to you why you're not receiving calls. Approximately one month ago, I I was walking my dog back home 134 00:54:48.400 --> 00:55:03.760 and a shot came out from the wooded area behind my home or the next door home on Yale Court. I got my dog home, got his leash off, 135 00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:25.760 called 911. I gave them my phone number, my cell phone number, and I was told by the dispatcher, "We'll take care of it." Okay. 136 00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:42.480 I went to my front door. After waiting there for about a minute or so for someone to arrive, I realized I didn't have my cell phone on me. It was being charged. So, I walked away to my bedroom, got my cell phone, put it back, and went back and stood at my front door 137 00:55:42.480 --> 00:56:00.400 for 15 minutes, not seeing an officer. After a half hour, I called the Titan Falls Police Department and was told, "Oh, the officers came. They didn't see anything 138 00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:15.839 suspicious, so they left." Now this was after being told by Chief Deluchia, Mr. Venogga and I that the proper procedure 139 00:56:15.839 --> 00:56:34.040 is not to stop and talk with the people who made the call right away, but to go into the woods immediately for the officers and when they exit the woods then to speak with the people. 140 00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:51.520 Wow. Your patrol car apparently drove in while I was just getting my cell phone and drove right out because they said nothing suspicious. 141 00:56:51.520 --> 00:57:08.720 Like they could see from the street 200 feet into the woods behind the houses. >> Right? That's why you don't get calls. People don't want to waste their time, 142 00:57:08.720 --> 00:57:28.319 but that doesn't do away with the safety issue. We ask for two things and that's it. Oh, my three minutes are up. I'm sorry. You take care and have yourself a good evening. >> Thank you, Mr. Chisles. >> Is there anyone else this evening would 143 00:57:28.319 --> 00:57:45.280 like to speak? Hearing no further comments. May I have a motion to close the public discussion? >> Motion. >> Thank you, Mr. Nice. May I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Miss Buckley. All in favor? 144 00:57:45.280 --> 00:58:03.359 >> I >> Does any member of council have anything else to add this evening? >> Yes, council president. I just wanted to know if we can get the contact information of Mr. Deetsz. If he could just provide that to the clerk or the council president. Yes, there was. >> Thank you. 145 00:58:03.359 --> 00:58:21.200 >> I actually Do you mind if I ask a question? >> No, go right ahead. >> Was there a specific house that that that you have concerns about or is it just a general um >> There there's one in particular there's a few in town I know about. >> Okay, we could Yeah, I was just curious. 146 00:58:21.200 --> 00:58:40.240 >> Thank you. May I have a motion to amend the agenda to include a resolution concerning the appointment of a business administrator? >> Motion. >> Thank you, Mr. Nice.
