does but preandandy [clears throat] we had a time you know on it and I believe it was like 7 to 9 in the morning or and then uh to 6 or something in the evening. Um, so he called up his head of
the county traffic division who is more than happy to put in the request to New Jersey DO and all that. He just wants something from the governing body saying that we're endorsing that. So I just put together a resolution

going to have vendors there, uh car show, ice cream trucks, food [clears throat] trucks, music all day. So, it should be a great day. Uh hope we have a very good turnout for that's all I have. >> Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you for
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]
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
>> 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
>> 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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
>> 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,
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.
>> 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.
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
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
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
the next day is the Chamber of Commerce's event also at the ball field. So I get to meet the stage all set up. We don't have to go out there. we can leave it set up for. [clears throat] >> Um, and then we did have already one rescheduling our what was supposed to be
our first concert of the summer um with Stranger Things and they come from Bucks County, PA and they were getting really bad storms out there >> two Fridays ago. So, they couldn't make it out here through all that. So, we have rescheduled them and that is going
to be on Saturday, September 12th in the afternoon from 2 to 4. and we're changing venue for that. We're going to be doing that concert over at Tipsy Park >> and we're joining with the um town the Historical Society that's their flea
market over there. So, we're going to provide the band and the music for the flea market this year. >> To make instead of competing in two different locations. >> Yeah. >> Um and the county gave the be okay for me to take the stage over and set up
over there. Just need C more to go with me to see how we get the electricity to the stage. >> You can pull some strings or lines. >> Well, that's that's 220, isn't it? >> Or is it just 110 but has the plug of the
>> Yeah. >> Or are you going to use our stage? >> Our stage. Yeah. >> Oh, okay. Well, we have to look where >> where we can put that. >> Great. That's all. >> I have one quick thing, your honor, [clears throat] about the environmental
commission. >> We are looking for new members. Uh we lost unfortunately another member. And uh we have two openings, one for alternate and one for the regular members. So if anybody's available that can show up for the meetings, we'd
appreciate it. It's hard to get a a forum of course in the summer anyhow because everybody's busy. So if anybody knows uh someone out there that would like to join will take like to take an active role. >> Um you can see the planners they did a lot of work
group nine handling that >> and [clears throat] the people we have on there are fantastic to begin with but of course like I said this summer it's it's tough to get people to come out. So if anybody has uh any friends or anyone that they would like to join
>> paper too. [clears throat] >> Yeah. Just submit a submit a letter >> and that's all it takes. [clears throat] >> So that's what I have. >> Thank you. And they they have been working hard. All the all the committees have been working hard. Every they all
have different projects they're working on. So it's great. All right. Anything else? Do you have anything? >> I do not. >> Okay.
And do you have any other reports? >> Wow. >> Move to open the public forum. Second. >> All right. I have a motion and a second to open public forum. All in favor? >> Any opposed? All right. We're open for
uh any comments from anybody today. And there's Five minute limit. >> I'm going to take five minutes. I get 10 minutes. I get some interesting discussions online drive. [clears throat] Um, as far as the parade, the parade was awesome. I got to
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
[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
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.
