With the homicide task force from the Union County Prosecutor's Office being the lead agency, I ensure you all that our department and the prosecutor's office is working tirelessly
to resolve this as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, I am not able to comment on the investigation, but I can tell you and I'm sure you're
aware that we have extra patrols out there and resources to ensure that our community is safe. Along with that, we have the crisis intervention team working with some of the victims and
some of our first responders. I'd like to thank each of you for your continued commitment to public safety and your support during this situation, especially your patience and
understanding. It's truly appreciated. And I don't want to stand here on a soap box, but I'd be remissed if I didn't acknowledge our officers, the fire department, and
EMS. This is a high-risk, lowfrequency situation that we train for all the time. Fortunately for us, we don't encounter it that often,
but these men and women did a phenomenal job. Quick response, courageous, and professional. So, I thank them and I'm proud to lead this department. Thank you. >> Thank you.

give you a few very simple examples that we've been dealing with for quite some time. We had a parking issue on my street across from the Yeshiva school. Took down the parking handicap signs. Now, we're going to go through the process because they just decided we
don't need them. I have a sign on my front lawn for 72-hour parking. I can't even tell you how many recent times there's been cars parked there. Nothing happens. they stay there. We have had an issue with the with the school with the
parking. So, okay, that's supposed to alleviate that. We have the school that operates 11 years without a working permit for the kitchen. They have caused problems with grease, sewage to the neighbor's
house right next door, causing $17,000 worth of damage last year. This year we also have a nicer issue 1210 Kirkman, another one of the properties. Illegal chicken coops that
have caused a rat issue in our neighborhood. One car, $1,220 to get the wiring fixed from the rats chewing. I've had several calls made. I had the health department out. I also have an issue with one of the inspectors
telling me, "Rats don't like dirt. They just like sheds." Well, how about the burrows that are in the backyard that I actually took pictures of yesterday? And why do we allow all this to happen and nothing is done about it? The properties
that they have are kept deplorable. They finally got notice to clean it up. I don't know if they took the coups down. One of them was down today, but I don't know if the other one was down. But this is ridiculous. I have to pay for an exterminator to protect my property
because I'm across the street from Iraq. This is ridiculous. What are we going to do about this? >> Um, thank you so much. We do know that we followed up and the chicken coops were removed. Um, and thank you for bringing this up to us and we will
follow up. >> Well, yesterday they were up. They were done. When did they take them down? >> I believe it was Was that today or today? >> Might have been today. Yes. Anthony Manguso is here. Would you like to speak? >> Sure.
>> We are we are fully aware of this problem. Uh we have uh finded one owner uh who has paid a fine and he's getting in compliance. and some of the other complaints that you have, we have taken care of them along with the illegal basement apartment that we went in there
and have pictures that there's no illegal there's no apartment anymore. >> Well, there's two tenants living in there. >> Well, we we go in there, we take pictures. Okay. So, if they move out when we're there, we can just keep going after them again. I'll send somebody back out there tomorrow. But we were in there and have pictures recently along
with the chicken coupe that's was move removed today and they're fully aware chickens are gone. They are gone. >> Thank you so much. Do we have any further comments from the public? >> Mayor, our parking authority supervisor
goes to that street twice a day. It's in the blotter. If there's a violation, we issue. If there's not, we don't make it up. We move on. We provide resources there to address the complaints. If they're not there when we go there,
there's nothing we can do. The handicap signs were not needed anymore. And it opened up more spots. That's why they were removed. Our traffic bureau did a study and that's why they were removed and I think you're aware of that. >> Yes. Thank you so much. Appreciate that.
director. Do we have any other other comments from the public? >> Motion to see you walking. >> I'm walking slow. Sorry, Ruth Slovic. Oh, sorry. Ruth Slovic 1221 McGee. Um, I
just wanted an explanation if you can on um resolution number 11 and 14. It 11 says, "Authorizing a professional services contract with Nishwain Group for a master plan re-examination for an amount not to exceed $80,000." What is
that? >> So, the state requires that we have a master plan uh examination. So, every six to seven years. So, the time has come up and we are hiring them to um do that. So they walk around town and see
where we we can uh redevelop or better the town. >> And that group is um services professional services. >> Yes. They're a planning uh >> a planning a planning company. >> Yes. >> Okay. That's I want to confirm. And
number 14 um a professional services contract with Neglia Group for C4 operator for a period of one year not exceed 45. What is that? So um they they um they service the
sewer and pump uh license and um the size of our town is a the number four. So C means collection and the four is the size of the town. So they will be in charge of sewer and pump license. >> Okay. Um, I I've mentioned in the past,
I don't know what you you're allowed to do legally, but it'd be nice to have an explanation so I wouldn't have to come up and ask all the time or anybody else reading this would understand that as well. So, I was wondering if there could be more transparency per se as to what's going on. And I noticed that when you um
when the the draft and first readings were introduced, there was an explanation. And it would be nice if there was an explanation each one of these so that the public can know what's what's going on as well. Okay. >> So just a suggestion to you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you.
>> Any further comments, questions? Seeing none, >> motion to adjurnn. Second. >> All in favor? Thank you.
