um just I I you know I support this ordinance 100%. The the um new chamber of commerce is what kind of brought this forward and uh I think we have a great chance of bringing more revenue and more people to Tucker, which brings more
revenue. So appreciate you guys entertaining this ordinance and uh I think it'll be a good thing for us. We already have someone not even affiliated with this that's doing looking to do a film project in Tuckerton. So there's a lot of great things here, a lot of great places. So just wanted to say I
appreciate you guys entertaining the ordinance. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> That's great. Thank you. >> Are there other comments or questions? >> Seeing none, I make a motion to close public portion. >> Second. >> All right. I had a motion to a second to close public portion. All in favor? I

Uh any questions or comments on ordinance number 10 as presented? Does anyone have any comments on that? attention to a non street. What exactly is it? What was the old one and I'm learning? >> Yeah, the old one um basically it it
limited the number of trees that you could take down. This one actually does a little bit more deeper dive into it um for permitting and things like that. Replacing trees of a certain size. If you take down a certain size, you need to put back a certain size tree. Things like that to limit um people just going
and clear cutting and things like that. So, um it should be it's good because it's it's more of a permitting process and it also has um types of trees that are are more native to the area and things like that that should be reintroduced.
>> Okay. Thanks. >> All right. Any other questions or comments? >> Seeing none, I make a motion to close public portion. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to public to uh close I'm sorry. uh public comment

things. Number one, um on January 1st, uh the Highlands Fourth of July fireworks committee will be doing fireworks over the lake just like we did last year. We are all set for that. Um it was really, really cold last year, so
I suggest that uh when you come out to see them, dress appropriately, dress warm. Uh it is something cool because it's, you know, no humidity this time of year. So the the fireworks are really really crisp and clear versus on 4th of
July. So um >> that's 6 o'clock. That's what I was just thinking. I think it's 6:00. >> Um but we'll be here on January 1st at noon. So I can verify that. >> Okay. But yes, and it'll be I know it'll
be on Facebook. The 4th of July committee will put it out um I'll put it out on the Pride and Celebration page as well. Mhm. >> Um, >> that sounds great. >> So, that's January 1st. It's not New Year's Eve fireworks. It's New Year's Day fireworks. >> Um, that was that. And then I wanted for
Pride and Celebration to touch on Yield Christmas >> in Tucker. Um, >> wonderful. >> Which was on what day? The sixth Saturday. Um, so it was uh first off the weather was fantastic. Um, couldn't have really
asked. It was probably, you know, 40 40° and sunny, not that windy. Um, I was ringing bells for the Salvation Army for an hour or two and I really wasn't that cold doing it. Um, but everything everything went off great. I did manage to make it over to the Methodist church
to see the live nativity. Um, which usually I'm attending the horse and carriage rides, but unfortunately this year, uh, a couple weeks before the event, the horse passed away. So, we lost our horse for the horse and carriage rides and didn't have it this year. Um, he does have another horse. He
just wasn't confident enough with that horse around little kids and stuff yet this year. So, that will be back next year. Um, but it did mean that I got to go walk around town a little bit. And I saw uh the Dickens characters out carolling. They actually were caroling
right on the corner uh in town there for a little bit and that was really cool to see. Santa. Um, Santa was very happy with his visit to Tucker. Uh, Parkertown Fire Department brought Santa from where he was stationed at Little Burrow Hall
over to Stewart's for the tree lighting that night and that was really cool. We came in a sleigh. Um, our police officers were fantastic. Thank you, Chief, uh, for having them all lined up. We had a lot of people crossing back and forth and, uh, everybody was safe. the
the the officers were on top of it and it was very very well conducted. I if I were to take a guess, I would say we probably had maybe around 300 peopleish or so that were out for the the tree lighting. So, it was a it was a big crowd. It was a good crowd and uh yeah,
the police officers did an amazing job with that. Um so, I just wanted to to thank everybody that participated, the Methodist church, the Presbyterian church. Um, I know I forget people, but the Tucker Denorium was huge. The
Pilence Thesbian group where the Dickens characters, they were really nice. I got to thank Santa Claus for coming. Um, and Stewart's for being open. That was nice. That was really nice that Steuarts was open and still let us use their half of
their parking lot for um, Santa to come in and for Parker Town and everybody to set up to keep everything safe. So, and oh, and thank the sandpaper because they did a really, really nice write up. It's the center page of this week's sandpaper. Um, spectacular write up. Dad
was beside himself that his Christmas pyramid made it into the made it into the sandpaper. So, I think uh he every year he says, "I'm I'm done. I'm not doing it again." But I think the fact that it made the paper might mean that it comes back again next year. So, um,
and then, uh, off topic, I forgot to mention it during my time. This is not a committee thing, um, but could you please pass on to, uh, John Panis and the guys down there, they did a bang up job with the snowstorm. Um, the streets,
we went to church and I took all the backways and stuff just to see how the roads were. And uh it was yeah they were ahead of it on Sunday morning and did a did a fantastic job. >> So >> that's good. And um I just want to thank
you for what all the things that you did pulling it all together and um everything went off it seemed without a hitch. Um the one thing I would suggest I was standing next to Santa when he tried to get up to pull the thing and
his boots and that that step there. The step needs to be bigger. >> Bigger. >> Yeah. >> I'll pass that on to dad. >> Okay. >> He's the builder. >> Yeah. I thought he was gonna maybe go backwards. So, uh, that was my one, uh, comment there. It was nice. I think
Stewarts didn't expect all those people. Um, but it was good. I think they were hanging around inside before they went out into the cold. It was it was cold day by the evening time. Uh, but everything just went so well and it was great. and I just thank you and your
committee for everything that you did. >> Uh we had a very successful day. So uh that was that and now I'll turn to you Mike. >> Thank you. >> Council member >> first I wanted to start out I neglected to say happy Hanukkah, merry Christmas
and happy new year to everybody. >> Yep. I forgot. >> And then with that being said I'd like to call forward our environmental chair which is Beth Ojetski Garvin. Well, thank you, Councilman. >> You're welcome. Come on down. >> And psychic.
>> Okay, so we started the tree removal, you know, and as I started doing this, I look closer now, and I mean, I can't drive any slower. I already annoy many people driving through town, which is a pleasure. Um,
and I really don't even notice that they're gone. However, so we did that 11:22 and 23. New Jersey Gas by chance decided they would come out on Sunday. So, we got to do Saturday and Sunday. I have to tell you that it took us about 5
hours, I think, both days. Um, the men and women worked swiftly and without incident. I didn't have to call Jenny with any anything. Well, yes, I did because we needed cones because we didn't think we
could fill the holes. But anyway, so that went off about a hitch. Um, why I called Mike psychic is because last meeting he said, "I know that some people will complain about the trees being removed while we being thinking, you know, no good deed goes
unpunished." I don't know if any of you saw it, but Kayla shared the post I made about the trees being removed and no cost to the taxpayer and blah blah blah blah and a story. And of course, people came at
that like raw me. But however, more people defended us and said, "Read the post. It's at no cost." And I think that's maybe where the first donation that we got from a woman on Clay Street who we will celebrate um
came from. But anyway, so it was great and no, you know, we didn't have any problems at all other than the stump in front of Wells Fargo and John Bethanis told Vince that he would do that. He just needs more from Jenny. But it's not anything
terrible. I mean, they moved swiftly. You know, it just all worked and we had nice weather also. Um I want to thank again Vince Larcelli and his son Andrew who's just out of the Marines who came and helped and was king of the Kabuda.
Cynthia Coritz, Debbie McMun, Mike Depri our liaison, Anthony Skagle, John McCormack and Roger Hoffman who is an engineer and we have adopted him as an honorary member of our environmental committee. I want to thank Jenny
Savannah, John Panis, Mike Deckman, Mike Groin down at the at the yard. Those guys were great. Helped us. Cones, whatever we needed. And of course, last but not least, Chief Olsen. I don't remember who was out there. >> Nick the mayor.
>> Yeah, he stopped by, but I think when we go on the other side of the road, and I don't know when that's going to be. Uh, the first quote we got for trees, we were talking about at our meeting last week, $335 per tree, which comes rounds out to
about seven grand in total. So, um, we uh I don't know if we're going to like plant any like plant these trees this spring. We just, you know what I mean? It's not. The next removal is going to
be involve wires on the side of the post office, but I'll let you know. Um, we talked about setting a date with the help organization, the textile recycler, which right now I believe at your American Legion,
your tech, do you have the box for the textile? >> Yeah, they're in the back of parking lots, too. >> Yeah. at his American Legion at I think uh I believe it was the West Herden Firehouse has a box for textile recycling. We want to do a drive because
then we can get money from that if we do our drive. So I'll let you know when that happens. We do have a date for our invasive species presentation which is March 23rd at 6:30 p.m. Tucker Library. Uh, of course we'll be asking for
donations. And the one thing that got brought up, we talked about was that two the 2026 municipal aid grant that all the townships, burrows are getting across
New Jersey. Ours is 235,663. And we were wondering if the environmental commission will be if there would be any funds of that available to us. Um >> that is that just do
>> correct? >> It's so that those funds that are coming to us is from the department of transportation. >> So it doesn't involve like roads or maybe something for the trees or something. >> Well, we have to apply for it. So we have to put in for specific gift. No, we
have to apply specifically for that. That award of the 200 something I think is for Kelly Avenue and Parker Road. >> Okay. >> Um which includes repaving and stormware um >> okay >> fixes. All right.
>> That those so that transitional aid they call it it's taxes that they charge us for at the gas tanks, >> right? that goes into the it's called a aid, transitional aid, department of transportation. >> And then you have to apply and you have to put in a application and be specific
on what you're asking for. >> All right. I'll tell everybody to watch the video of this so they can listen to what you just said. >> Um, okay. I think that's it. Happy Hanukkah, happy, happy new year. I'll see you. >> Thank you very much.
Are there any other reports tonight? All right, seeing none, may I have a motion to open public forum? >> Motion to open the public forum. >> Second. >> All right, I have a motion and a second to open public public forum or any
comments or questions you may have. All in favor? >> Any opposed? All right. Does anyone have any questions or anything they'd like to add to what's been said tonight? I have I have one in the public for somebody that's not here. >> Okay.
>> So, Doris told me to wish everybody she's not here. She's in Texas, I believe. >> She did say, "Please wish everybody a merry Christmas and happy new year from her." So, >> chill just went down her spine. >> She really did. She did. She told me to
