>> I have nothing. >> Okay. So that committee reports counciloman. >> Yes. You have >> I have uh for for a pride and celebration uh Saturday, December 6th

about 25 Dickens characters walking around town singing Christmas carols fully in costume all day. Uh, courtesy of the Peland's um, theater group. Uh, big thank you to Mr. DeFransia for pulling all that
together. And to top it off, at the end of the night, the tree lighting on the lake will be at 7:00 um, right across the street from Stewarts. Stewarts will be open this year. >> Yes. >> Uh all the way up through the event. >> Right.
>> So again, that's December 6th. Maybe I said seven, but December 6th, Saturday, December 6th. >> All right. It's going to be a busy uh couple of days in the beginning of December. And I want to thank you for
all the work that you have put into as getting this all planned and and in motion. And I know it's going to be a nice uh Saturday walk around town and then um Sunday the tree lighting. >> No, tree lighting Saturday. >> The same day. So I say
>> I don't know why I say the seventh. I have the seventh in my head, but it's the sixth last year. >> And that's exactly what I wrote and I know it's 700 p.m. >> It's definitely December 6th. >> Okay. Well, that's the right date for everyone to remember and we'll be kicking off December.
So that's all I have. Are there any other commission reports? >> Yes, I have one, your honor. Uh, from the environmental commission, we have Beth Ojinski Garvin. >> Yeah, if you will come forward and uh keep everybody updated and also throw in
the uh the tree removal on the 22nd if you also all for >> I don't have to say who I am right now. >> Okay. But I you threw a that whole community block grant thing when Sam was
just talking about threw a wrench in my didn't it? >> No. >> Oh, okay. >> Because that was a old grant that we Okay, we're good. Sam, >> you get them every two every two years. We are we CD the town is qualified for CDBG.
>> Oh, okay. So, that's old. Okay, I'm just learning. Okay. So, this Saturday, our tree project beautifification, get rid of the uh tenacious trees, Bradford pear. Uh we're get starting to dig them
up. That's going to be 9:30 a.m. is when we're going to begin, oh, excuse me, Bradford Cal trees. The first leg is going to be between South Green Street and Marine Marine Street. The debris is going to be removed by personal trucks
and taken to the public works areas will be swept up. We'll let the people if there's any businesses in front of where we're working, we'll let them know do all that stuff. Um we're pl we were planning stump removal on Sunday,
but because of the gas lines, we need an NJ gas rep. So, they're probably not going to come out. So, that's going to be I'm that'll probably happen during the week when they tell us they'll be there. Uh,
let me see. We want to thank Jenny for all her help, Chief Nelson and Lieutenant Capo because they're going to coordinate uh our citizens on patrol in our green outfits. Uh, John at the public works
for coordinating this. And of course, uh, our environmental commission member Vince who really has just taken the ball right across the like the Eagles right across the goal line. Jed. Anyway, it's
strictly volunteer. None of this is any cost to the burrow or the taxpayer. So, and again, as always, if you anybody wants to volunteer here, watch it on TV, you're welcome to come out. Um, we'll be I'll see you at 9:30. Another project we
have in the works is the 12 tenacious invasive plants event as part of our public education program. Uh commission member Cynthia Cortez is working with the creators of that film. We wanted to do it in the winter when there's really like not much to do
except go to Florida, but it's probably not going to happen till late February, early March. We're coordinating with the library because we think that's like a nice cozy place. Mhm. >> We can't fund raise there, but we can stick out a basket for donations.
>> That's as of now, but like everything else, it could change. Last but not least, the natural resource inventory. And I spoke to Liz Maritz at the library and she was in the two she did the one in 2007
and she suggested the community development block grant, the CDBG. We spoke to Jenny earlier and she said it was possible, but it usually goes for sidewalks. And I said, "Well, can we have it this year?" So when you talked,
I was like, "What happened?" Um, so I was wondering if the council would consider using that for us for funding. It's probably not going to be partial, right? Part that wouldn't cover at all for that. Um, it could. It depends on
what, like I said, I have to >> I have to just double check with the county because they're the ones that run the funding. >> Okay. >> Um, >> how it works is there's a a list of things that could qualify for it. Okay. >> Because it's based off of um
>> it's based off of medium salary, low income, all that fun stuff that if how it applies. >> Okay. >> Um, >> don't worry. We're not going to nag you every week about this. >> No, every two years we're allowed to apply for that. >> Okay. >> So, the 24 one you apply for, it goes
through 24 and 25 hopefully gets done. We submit and then in 26 we apply again. >> Okay. >> That's where you and I would start talking. There's two hearings on it that come in January and February. But I want to get I want to get
>> But I was under the impression like one of the hurdles would be that I'm talking to Liz that all the like any of these organizations and we're looking at other ones um the D couple other ones to help
fund that uh is that the applications had to be in by the end of the year or is that >> not for CDBJ? Oh, yeah. Proceeding to the applications I you I'll be advertising for it. I think the
application has to be in by fear early February. >> Okay. So, that's not as bad as falling right in the middle of the holidays. >> No, we have time. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. Um, one more thing. So, we presently don't have any fundraisers and I don't feel that we're
going to do any unless we think of something or maybe we could have some elves walk around Christmas day. My brain is going um no would not do that maybe. Um so, I want to remind everybody how you can
denote donate to us through Gareth at Tucker Burrow. uh if you put a check in a donation that you just put in Environmental Commission in the memo or if you give him cash, I don't think he Venos or anything like
that. So, it's pretty straightforward. >> Uh I think it was mentioned before somewhere in the past few months. I'm not sure if I thought I heard this, but I'd like to acknowledge the TBA again for their generous donation to us. That
was really very nice. Um, I know you appreciate our work and our endeavors as we're getting it cohesive and getting our feet off the ground or on the ground, however that saying goes, is we appreciate yours. So, we really
would hope that you consider and remember when you're doing the budget to put us in there this year. I think that's it for today. Do you have any questions? I think we're all covered. Everybody was real helpful for this. Good job. tree cutting down. Thank you
for your time. >> Mayor, if I could just add something. I know we're going to get a lot of complaints about the Bradford pear trees that are going to be removed. They do look very pretty in the spring of the year. They put out the white flowers. They're one of the very first flowering trees. Unfortunately, they are not a
naturalized tree. They are considered actually invasive. They're not indigenous to our area. And um they're what's known as a calorie pair. They flower, but they don't bear fruit. Unfortunately, with them, the uh the
root system actually spreads out and not down. So, it will lift the sidewalks. And Vincent, who has done an awesome job researching what trees would replace them. Uh he's come up with a couple alternatives that are natural and the
one I know is flowering. So, uh uh we'll let everybody know what they are. Uh Beth, do you know also >> Sweet Bay Magnolia? >> Yes, the Night and they are natural to our area and that's the uh and they're drought tolerant as well. So that's what
we uh wanted to stick with. Um but they will be removed and u unfortunately there will be uh complaints involved, but again it's uh the long term we're looking at something that's not going to die off and it's not going to grow up into the electric wires, which is a big
issue right now. I just wanted to put that out in case anybody had any questions why we were doing that. But that's that's exactly why because the root systems go straight down and not spread out. >> Thank you for for getting that explanation.
I know this committee has worked very hard on these plans and they've really been talking about it for a couple of years and finally it's going to happen this year and it seems like everything is falling into place. Well, I think too when Roger the engineer that Paul had
brought his neighbor friend like then it took a you know what I mean environmental engineer. >> Yeah. It just seemed everything came together. >> Yeah. So I'm excited to see how things go but people are going to be a little
shocked to see us taking some of the trees down but we have a an >> to make the whole thing better and safer and hopefully beautiful to again too. >> All right. Are there any other reports?
>> Your honor, I would like to add a couple things. Uh when we're talking about these movies being made in Tucker, the reason that that came up at an EDC meeting and they really are trying to to push for this thing for the simple
reason. It will bring a lot of revenue into the burrow, not just to restaurants, it'll carpenters, electricians all the way around. So, it's a good thing. Uh, and that's why I was brought up in EDC. So, I hope we can
move forward with >> Yep. Thank you. our committees and our commissions are have really been working hard and a couple of them have some uh things very interesting things that are happening and um I I can't thank everyone enough
for doing that. All right, one last time. Anyone else? 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 forum. All in favor?
>> I. Any opposed? All right, we are now open for uh questions and uh comments from the public. Uh you will be limited to five minutes and when you are called you come up to the microphone and state your name and your address and you are
addressing the council. You are addressing us up here. >> All right, sir. >> First person here tonight. >> I haven't been here in a long time. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I am giving out a group of papers
to each of you. Uh this is >> I'll give >> Okay. Keep one for yourself, chief. >> Can I ask you to start with your name? >> Yes. Your address? >> Dr. John Evans, two Spruce Drive, Little Egg. >> Okay. Um, I was here before the council
many years ago, uh, 2019 to be exact, to start the center street projects. >> We got sidewalks, curbs, everything for the town uh, unit. Did you get one? >> I'll grab one.
>> Okay. Um, because it's it's it's important on you as well. Um, back in that time, I I started the working on Center Street
because a young lady almost got hit at the corner of Revolutionary. Now, this week, we had to say goodbye to a very good friend of mine. Um, Mr. Lousano was killed on the corner of Center Street in Oaklane. I have been
doing research because Little Egg is allowing a lot of developments into the town. We are growing by leaps and bounds. We have 26,000 cars a week on Center Street.
That's a lot of cars, especially if you live close to it. Um, what I have given you is a copy of the minutes that I gave to Little Egg Harbor Township Thursday night.
Uh, after Dominic was killed. I got to be careful what I say. I got chewed out after the last meeting. Um, that's why I put the police press report in here. also
>> what's allowable and what is not. Um I got really a big fire under my butt and I'm fighting with Middle Egg Harbor. Um, but what I'm here to ask the township tonight, I'm sorry, the burrow is that I
want to approve a um, as you can see by the NJAC1627-413B. I got it memorized. I don't have to read it. Um, this allows the municipalities on
municipal roads to divert any commercial vehicles. In your case, I'm on Maple Avenue cuz they continue to try and make the turn from Maple Avenue to Center Street. Even
though we clogged them up when we did it initially, we put that stop so that only fire trucks could get through straight through. Now I'm asking the burrow to
uh initiate a resolution to uh make it a municipal truck route either on Route 9 all the way down to Matstown or Radio Road. No heavy trucks. We still
have an issue with heavy trucks going down Center Street, especially at 4:00 in the morning. that mail truck that I'm sorry that truck that is dominant goes by every morning at 4:00 am or thereabouts
and at a rapid rate of speed. So I'm here to ask the burrow to uh review and discuss this. Um hold on it'll be back to me in a minute.
um NJAC, the ordinance that allows them to make that a non commercial vehicle road because then you don't have those big trucks trying to make that corner and tear up that pole all the time. and
any of you that are familiar with it know it. And um I would like to find out who would be the engineer that would be supervising that. I'm not sure which. >> Unfortunately, that's a county road.
Center Street >> Center Street is >> not, >> but uh Maple is not. I'm saying that you have the right to keep the trucks off of Maple. >> Okay. But we have to get permission from
the state to put the signs at Route 9. So they can't make that left. More and more of the trucks are getting smart and going down to um Oak Lane and then turning right and which is what happened to Dominic. That's why I approached
Little Egg Thursday night to with this ordinance to make Oaklane a non-commercial vehicle roadway. They can ride Center Street all they want, but then they can't get out
because if you have it one way, they can still get out onto Route 9. But I'm in the process. So, I'm going to get that re redone also. And I've only got about 30 years left in my life, so I might be able to get it
done. Uh, are there any questions? >> I think we have a copy of an ordinance that deals with um non-commercial. I think I saw something in there. And personally, I don't think it those trucks belong on People Avenue at all. Like, especially when you go past Center
Street heading out towards Radio Road. >> Yeah. Very few. That's so narrow in there. But I want to just confirm with the chief >> and that's why I'm trying to bring you in. I'm trying to bring the chief in because I want this to stop now that Dominic's been killed. We almost lost a
six-year-old back in 19 when I started this. And now we've lost a very good friend that I've known for 35 years. So, >> thank you very much for bringing us this to us and we will discuss it and and be done
>> and most some of you know where I live so come get me. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. Your name on this so that I have that also. Oh, I don't I know my name. That's why I put her on. >> I just want to make sure I have it on my
one paper I take notes on. I want to put it on your paper as well. All right. Do we have any other uh comments for this evening? >> Good evening. >> Sir, Mr. Solomon, >> Paul Solomon, 20 Edgewater Drive. Um we
brought the trees up at our Paradise Code meeting. So, the Paradise Co and Uplanders Association would like to fund one of those trees. >> Maybe more depending on the cost. We don't know the cost right yet. Um, me personally, I'll fund one myself. So,
you're up two trees. >> Uh, may maybe more depending on the cost. >> Um, we have our Christmas party on December 7th at the Grapevine. Any one of you are welcome to come. It's from 1 to 4. It's like $25 ahead. Um, it's it's a
good time. You know, we have entertainment gifts. Last year, making little tripods and giving out to everybody. So, and that's it. >> Have a good day. >> All right. Do we have anyone else? Yes, sir. >> Mike Cooer, 143 Water Street. Good
evening. Thank you for your time. Uh I was back here representing the town our town representing our street. Um we handed a petition back in July for Water Street being a dangerous uh
>> road. Um so I'm here follow up to see what what can be done to uh um cuz I I don't know. I mean I don't know the definition of a road, but it's not I' I've lived there for 30 years. The roads are very narrow. So, my neighbor's here
tonight. He uh got close to being hit. I had my son-in-law was mowing our lawn and you fall off our curb. Good luck. Um I can't even pull out of the drive. I don't let my wife pull out of the driveway anymore until I go out in the street and I back her up because next
door to me the streets I've got bushes there. I you know, we don't we don't have children here anymore, but our neighbors have children. Um, so I was just wondering, uh, you you all said you were going to take a look at the petition that we submitted and see what
we can do. I mean, I, you know, I I I don't know what the deal is with with speed bumps is or even a street even a miles per hour street sign that says how fast you're supposed to be going, but I it's it's dangerous. You all invited him
over my house some Saturday and we'll have pizza on the front porch and you'll see you wouldn't want your children or wife out there either. So you all spoke about it. I don't know what you Mr. DM I hope I don't have to go to your idea with the potholes years years ago.
You know, we laugh but it's it's I I keep coming here. I mean I I don't I like to come here. You folks are busy. We appreciate what you do. But at the same time, where I come from, we don't just let somebody get hurt and then do something about it. So I I'm not so worried about me as I am my wife and my,
you know, my daughter and her children coming over now and everybody else that lives on the street. But everybody on the street handed in that we we submitted that petition. It wasn't submitted as a petition. It was submitted that I was asking for speed bud. So, honestly, that's really not a
fair representation of of us doing submitting the petition for whatever that means. Um, >> so I I'm just here to see what you all spoke about. >> Okay. Um, I I don't know. I don't have an answer
for you right here. Uh, we'll have to uh get together again and then look into I got to get back to you. would you please uh give me their phone number before you move? >> I can I I can I resubmit this submission and if you could just please represent
that on the minutes of the meeting if >> we submitted that. >> I'd appreciate that. My number is 2011. >> Just wait till >> Yeah, wait till after the meeting. >> Oh, >> you don't want people knowing you're we're being recorded so the website. So,
>> all right. >> Unless you do. No. Um, I don't know what else to say, folks. If you can help really do something because that road is really not wide at all, you know. >> Okay. I'll get whatever council to be in
charge of looking into this. >> I I noticed that you all had the police. We appreciated the the police presence there for a while. That was cool, but I don't know what they have to uh to enforce if there's no speed signs, and it's kind of tough where you all got to sit down there to to see something, you
know. Um, the last thing I wanted to just say is when you come off of Route 9 where the cigar club is there, and that's kind of it's kind of good they're there now because it seems like people slow down coming off there. Um, but if you make a left, I don't know what that street's
called to go back to Wawwa. There's a stop sign there, you can't see it. It's all worn out. And the other day, I went there the other day. I'm coming down from the back of Waw Wa. And this lady comes around. There's trucks parked right in front of the stop sign. She comes around. I was I couldn't go
anywhere. Couldn't go anywhere. So, I don't know what's going on with that over there. >> Anyways, >> thank you for your help. >> Yep. Thank you for coming. >> That's Shorts Lane. >> Pardon me. >> Shorts Lane. >> Yes. Yeah. You know, if you pull up there, there's more that that building
has now got tenants, which I understand you want to park, but you're parking I I don't know what the law is. I think you have to be more than 5 or 10 ft off the stop sign cuz if you parked right in the corner here and you come around, good luck. >> Good luck. Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you. >> Which uh I'd like a volunteer to look into this. Maybe two of you can work together >> or looking into this this way. >> Madam Mayor, I will.
>> Okay. All right. Thank you. And I'll get the petition out and, you know, we can go over everything again. All right. Thank you. Yes, sir. >> Good evening. Ken Dyer, 147 Water Street, Packardan of
a I'm the neighbor of Mike there. And I I just basically here in a second what he's talking about. Actually, I was the one that almost got clipped. I was just raking leaves. I had my back like this here. A car came by. I actually felt the breeze of the car. That's how fast they
were going. And I said, "Geez, if I would have stepped out one more step, I would have got clipped." So, it can be dangerous there. And I noticed that I don't see any speed limit signs or even speed indicator signs. Some places I've
driven, I've you see the speed indicator tells you how fast you're going and it makes you think. So something like that might be good on the street for a while to make people think cuz like you said, especially coming off Route 9, you're going one speed and then all of a sudden
you're coming on a narrow road and you don't realize how quick you're you're going. Some people don't realize it. So if you had a sign saying you're you're such and such speed and here's the limit, it might make you think about it. And I know it makes me think when I try down a road and I it says you're doing
29 or whatever. It makes me think, oh yeah, I better watch where where I'm going. So something like that might be considered and I might be helpful there for a while. But like I said, I'm just seconding what Mike was talking about and we would appreciate some
consideration there. >> Certainly. Thank you. >> Thank you. anyone else this evening. >> She's good. >> She's good. >> Happy Thanksgiving. >> Your radar sign on center street. I love like >> Yeah. As long as they keep it trimmed
up. >> I uh Yeah. >> Yeah. There are a few streets in town that are very very narrow. They have a lot of traffic on them and they can be very dangerous. You have to be alert all the time when you're driving it or if
you're walking or live near it. >> All right. Uh, one more time. Anybody else? >> If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> Motion to close the public forum. >> Second. >> Okay. I have a motion and a second to close public forum. All in favor? >> Anybody opposed?
>> All right. Uh, >> motion to adjurnn. >> Second. >> Okay. I have a motion and a second to adjurnn. All in favor? >> Any opposed? >> All right. Thank you very much for coming. I hope everyone has a safe and healthy healthy Thanksgiving.
