59
00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:46.959
mentioning that. I know the chamber has been working very hard trying getting a date and setting a place and setting this all up. I ran into John and his family getting ice cream to everybody. He told me all about it. [clears throat]

60
00:16:46.959 --> 00:17:01.279
So that was so that was really good. Very exciting. All right. [clears throat] Um, I have something from the mayor's forum. It was a piece of mail that I just got. And this is from the office of Mayor

61
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:23.679
John E. McCormack from where [cough] I'm sorry, it says Woodbridge. And this is all about the uh 20th consecutive year that they have had a senior

62
00:17:23.679 --> 00:17:41.520
Olympics, New Jersey senior Olympics. And it's going to run in September from September 11th, 12th, and 13th up in Woodbridge Township. And uh there's some information on it and a nice little booklet, too. So,

63
00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:58.799
anyone that is interested, I'm not sure anyone has ever gone. But um it sounds very exciting and they've got a lot of things planned and 20 consecutive years is pretty long run for this. So

64
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:15.120
that information is there. I want to say the fireworks and the parade went well for the 4th of July. Um fireworks have a little problem that I understand Danny is trying to work out. Have [clears throat] you heard anything? Um I

65
00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:30.080
I can elaborate on that. >> Okay. Why don't you do that? >> So um the fireworks in my opinion were still fantastic. We were just without a grand finale as we're accustomed to. The grand finale went off at about the

66
00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:45.919
4minute mark of the show. So at the start of the show when it started off like absolutely just going insane and crazy and kind of thought that was the whole thing. That was the uh operator accidentally set off. all the 4in shells that once the new 4in

67
00:18:45.919 --> 00:19:02.080
shells that we got that we had to get Amon to put the barge in the water for and stuff, they all went off at one time. So Danny's been working with the firework company to try to get something out of it, whether that would be um maybe like a small Labor Day show if we

68
00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:17.840
can pull that off or you know more fireworks towards next year's show, something. Um they seem very responsive. It was I feel bad the fireworks company had a bad Fourth of July because most of his shows got rained out and a lot of the fireworks got ruined

69
00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:34.320
>> um because they're from Pennsylvania. So we finished up right before that storm came through. >> Everybody west of us did not. So >> um us and then I [clears throat] think he does speech as well. Yes, I always I knew we always did

70
00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:50.960
>> and then they had a mishap there and had to pause their show for like 15 minutes and then start it back up again. But but the Danny and the fireworks committee is working on something. Um if I can add on something because I was going to say it under the thing the [clears throat] the

71
00:19:50.960 --> 00:20:09.280
amount of uh negativity and you know comments out in Facebook land and stuff was absolutely disgusting in my opinion. um people saying like worst fireworks show ever, this fireworks show sucks. Way to ruin 250th anniversary and stuff.

72
00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:26.320
I can say that out of all those people that I read, I read all the comments and stuff. Out of all those people, I've never seen one of them come to a spaghetti dinner and cook spaghetti or serve spaghetti or even buy a ticket to spaghetti dinner. I've never seen them with a whole sponsor at the golf outing

73
00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:42.880
or doing anything to contribute to try to make the fireworks better. Um, when Danny and I started kind of calling people out on it, the community as a whole kind of came out and defended that, you know, you're so lucky. It's amazing how many people think that um

74
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:58.559
the tax Yeah. that it's all tax dollars that pay for that. It's while all the all the towns do contribute a small amount, the vast majority of the fireworks is is funded through fundraising, through doing events, spaghetti dinners, the beef beers, the

75
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:13.679
golf outing, um the raffles that we do and stuff. It's it's, you know, 20some people busting their homes to to make sure that our tent has an awesome fireworks show. And to see how many people were, you know, kind of ungrateful to that was just it was

76
00:21:13.679 --> 00:21:30.080
really disgusting this year. And um It's unfortunate, but most of them hide behind fake names and stuff on Facebook like, you know, slimy lizard 259 or something. They don't even post it under their real name. So, you got to take it with a grain of salt, but I thought I

77
00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:45.280
thought it was great. Yes, we did not have a grand finale like we always knew the grand finale was early. Um, and I thought the parade was amazing. I was so happy with the turnout of the parade being almost 100° out. Um, and to see that many people outlining the streets,

78
00:21:45.280 --> 00:22:01.840
I thought was was awesome. >> Yeah, it was great. Yeah. My granddaughter wanted to go and actually ride in the back of the truck. So, that's what we did. And we waved to everybody. And then I showed her, I said, "Now, here's how we get to see the three because we're up in the

79
00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:17.440
front. [clears throat] I walk back to my house and then we look at everything as they go by and that's how I get to see the parade. So, it was it was a good day and that committee we worked hard all year. We

80
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:34.799
need every month and uh we burn all those fundraisers and there's a lot of work that goes into the background of putting that all together and it's a shame. At least we didn't get rained out. >> Yeah. >> You know, so >> but things happen. I mean,

81
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:50.159
>> it's, you know, it's out of our control that that that happened. There's nothing we can do about it. It was still It was still $29,000 worth of fireworks in 24 minutes. It's still the biggest firework display we've ever had. So, >> yes,

82
00:22:50.159 --> 00:23:07.919
my granddaughter wanted to go back to see her dad's fireworks, so we drove her back and then came all the way back for the town. >> All right. Um celebration. >> All right. >> I was just jumping on to your mayor's form.

83
00:23:07.919 --> 00:23:25.559
>> Yeah. You want to do the solicitor and the clerk first solicitor. Do you have anything for us today? >> I'll yield to council member. [laughter] >> I have nothing. >> Well, thank you guys.

84
00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:42.000
So, so I have a pride and celebration. So, Friday uh night we had our first concert. It was um Rayon. They were really good. They're Buddy Holly uh Royal Orbison band. um really good. I think the uh Smokeoky

85
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:58.720
and air quality kind of maybe kept some people out of that system or I counted 102 of them that were out there. Um but they were a really good band. [clears throat] Um they're a lot of fun. So this Friday we have um the Later Days

86
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:14.720
Blues Band. Uh we had them last year and I thought they were awesome. They do a lot of blues but rock stuff as well. Um, and then we'll have we'll have a concert every Friday up until August 14th will be our last Friday night concert. Then

95
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:40.320

100
00:27:47.840 --> 00:28:03.440
march in the parade for the first time in about 20 years. I used to march with with my local Labor Day at South Planefield and St. Patty's Day in Union, New Jersey. I actually built that party for for my local. Um there's nothing

101
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:18.080
like it. The feeling of marching in a parade, people cheering, yelling your name out. It was it was pretty cool. Um Paradise Cove has a discount card now. >> You can go to Paradise.com and you can see we have nine different

102
00:28:18.080 --> 00:28:35.520
businesses signed up. Um [clears throat] I'm working on a 10 form. Um he should be signing soon. Um it's it's good. that we have more members to sign up probably extra five people >> signed up for our group and that's about it. Is there any news on the um the

103
00:28:35.520 --> 00:28:52.799
grant writer or dreary or excuse me shoreline restoration? >> I haven't I haven't gotten any we were not asked from uh the congressman or the senators. We were not set on to the next round um where we

104
00:28:52.799 --> 00:29:10.559
were talking about going for the funing. It wasn't really a grant. It's like the uh same type of funding we got for Tucker and Beach. They put us through the first round, but we were denied this to go on to the second round. They did not pick our project, but they're still in the works. That project was to

105
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:28.000
basically pay for the design of um the dredging of uh Thompson's Creek because uh the other grant, the one that's for the climate control uh forget the exact name of it that doesn't include planning. So the bureau

106
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:44.080
would have to put out the planning funds which again council pretty much said listen if we have to we'll fund that if we get that grant but we had put in for about a good amount of money but uh Senator Booker and Senator Kim did not choose

107
00:29:44.080 --> 00:30:00.080
our project to move forward but we're still in the other one what's the name of it like resilient climate control something with the natural gases type thing. >> We're still in that production >> car. That's it. Um, we're still in that

108
00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:16.640
one. It's just, like I said, that doesn't cover the cost of permitting, engineers, all that fun stuff. >> So, basically, it's on hold right now. >> No, it's not on. It's still in the process. It's It's been submitted. >> Reason I ask is a lot of my neighbors been asking about it and I want to be

109
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:32.080
able to give them an answer. >> So, >> it's been submitted. Um, and like we haven't been kicked back that we haven't gotten it yet. So it goes through a process just it takes a little while for them to announce I guess >> we had the state police out there

110
00:30:32.080 --> 00:30:48.799
yesterday. I was cooking breakfast at American obstruction in order and evidently one of the neighbors took it out. So I did call state police >> told me to do that. So I did that and there's nothing for him to do at that

111
00:30:48.799 --> 00:31:03.496
point. >> But >> it's still it's not on hold. It's [clears throat] still it's in the process. It's just like I said, we were hoping to get two into one, but the one said no. >> Keep trying. That's all I can do.

112
00:31:03.496 --> 00:31:27.760
[clears throat] >> Everybody watch these days. Yeah, >> it's not going to be [laughter] >> the fireworks are great. >> Move to close public forum. >> Second. >> All right. I have a motion and a second

113
00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:47.480
to close public forum. All in favor? >> I motion to second. >> All right. Motion to a second to all in favor. >> Thank you very much for coming. Hope we see you next month.
