four um we are we are tabling uh we have no ordinance introductions C the ordinance that is listed will be tabled and we hope to have it on the next meeting okay yes it it dealt with um purchasing procedures that are mostly in
commissioner Moto's um department so we wanted to make sure she was here for it uh good idea 100% thank you so it's regarding purchasing procedures um we have uh no ordinance public hearings or adoptions we do have
a number of resolutions for consent starting with 097 which is a authorizing a tax refund uh 09 interrupt me if you have any questions 098 is a resolution authorizing a
contract with LX Consulting Group uh environmental consulting services for wetland delineation is adding a a small portion to their existing application correct and we are we actually we had got a revised quote right so we are
going to do I believe it's a survey so the actual not to exceed amount will be 9,875 okay all right any questions on that nope um resolution 099 is U implementing the
leap Grant so this is in addition to the uh other leap grants we have but it is regarding the Hawkeye program correct just explanation of what that is is it's a tax assessment uh pro project with Geographic informational systems
pictometry that kind of stuff Count's putting it forward to all the towns and it's good program seems to help yeah cost use on our tax they're they're talking about um you know how how uh you can it'll be helpful going forward with
any any assessments yep um great uh resolution one is uh include additional services for um uh resolution uh for uh doing and in the
uh the Eco Park uh and some cost analysis for that for $1,500 cers right for cers yeah it's not listed there but it is for cers in addition to the work they've already done for us um we can hope to use that um estimating for uh grant
funding um resolution uh 101 is uh e is the Community Support funding application do you have any anything to add to that commissioner yes so this is a grant coming out of the federal government through bandrew Senator Senator changing
his title Congressman van Drew's office um for a grant application for more funding for Boardwalk uh restoration and reconstruction it's a $5 million request for our Boardwalk project so that would allow us to either offset what we were putting in or to extend where we're
going to replace the boardwalk one or the other um if we decide we can go a little further because what we've funded now through the state and our funds gets us from Jackson to the pier approximately so this would add another several blocks or we can offset the
seven million we put in seven and a half with that one way or the other I think we want to probably want to extend it sure to get more of it done so great everyone listening please think good thoughts about that grand opportunity exactly um resolution one two is uh
formalizing an agreement with our former police chief Mike Miller not to exceed 215 21,500 uh this is a professional service which he already offers is actually a savings based on his year his hourly
rate in the past he uh is an expert in um the uh data management of evidence rooms that is his Niche so uh uh and that any questions on no
that um we have approval of bills and payroll G oh I'm sorry we are going to add uh one resolution uh one3 resolution is accepting the resignation of Joseph Callahan as firefighter sorry to see him go sorry to
see him go but best wish them best of luck yep um and then uh we then moving forward we'll have approval bills and payroll uh I don't don't have any discussion items unless you do no no

all it's not a big audience you can see um any Lance uh commissioner langra do we have any announcements uh we we have no announcements or safety reports but commissioner langra do you have any comments or reports for the just a couple things um I'm G leave the stage
to you to talk about no you all whatever so the beach replenishment is complete um we've got our beach back between the pier and and yeah I wrote it right when they were just finishing it with with Rick um didn't get a chance to get down there this week but uh was out on the
pier on Sunday and it's nice to see you know not the dunes being the the first thing you see from the water on Buffalo Avenue so um and Evan was home for 10 days and he got to go down there and City he's like my beach is back so it's good to see um little hiccup on the
Venter traffic lights project down from Oxford to Jackson still waiting on the polls that's why you still see the flashing lights and the temporary lights uh we hope to get the polls in at least the first delivery sometime next week or second week in March get those installed
the boxes you'll start to see the control boxes coming in and being installed they're going in this week and next um Somerset Avenue sewer main replacement is progressing I believe the main might be finished and then they'll go back and tie in all the sewer laterals little hiccup there this week
they hit a water main little 4-inch main I think when they compact it it loosened up the joints and and cracked that pipe so they were right there they fixed it within a couple hours so good job by Public Works getting in there with them and the contractor to fix that quick enough bigger issue acua sewer leak out
uh it's actually behind Kingsley Drive running from the pump station on Lafayette out to the the County facility um they've been working on it all week it's a rather large main rather large issue so they've been keeping us up to date on it they found the leak it was
them they kept saying it was a storm drain but it wasn't was their sewer leaking so they're working on getting that fixed um and I I think mayor they decided after finding the first leak I think it was a seam perhaps that had separated that they were going to go
ahead and replace or repair proactively the rest of the line good good yeah Brian um has been giving us emails updates on that I didn't see one late this might have been today or something you got that but uh they've been up to date on it I'll leave the
stage to for you to so thank you segue into our Bandshell stage we have uh a don't have we have a a date of our um groundbreaking next Friday uh time between sometime to be
determined between 1 and 2 pm for u a just a quick uh opportunity to thank everybody especially the beautification committee that's um pledged a a significant donation on behalf of the Bandshell um to uh not to put any
pressure on the contractor but we are 88 days away till Memorial Day no pressure there but we hope to have it for the majority of the summer and um we're happy to have uh that project finally underway it takes a long time to get
things also uh I mean uh looking into summer we have had an influx of uh of applications for class ones but there are still uh there is still time to apply for uh class one that uh officers uh there's a two-e training course and
you're basically uh if you have an interest in uh Public Safety of some kind it's a great way to to find out if that's the right uh type of career path for you um and it it uh it you get to see a wide range of uh of experiences in
Venter um throughout especially throughout the summer as as we get our influx of people and with those other things um I would just recommend the public start to look at our uh
summer um wesk at vent. wes.com um March 3r is when that opens up for all the camps and the camps do fill up uh for June July and August so uh the soccer camp the beach volleyball camp Marine SS Camp basketball camp softball Camp Field
Hockey Camp surf camp which always fills up um because it's a very close ratio for uh instructor to um to to to student and then uh the sports camp itself is a wide ranging camp and then not to miss the Lifeguard Camp which is also very
popular with the with with kids so there's a lot a lot to offer and it's right around 88 days till the unofficial start and if I can jump in on that we may need to delay that opening while we're reviewing the fees for this year there's a couple of things that I think
need to be tweaked that we may present to you at the March 13th meeting for your approval and uh if if there aren't anything things to really be changed then we can just go ahead but as we sit here today I suspect that that March 3D's not GNA work oh okay for the start
of the camp right for the registration so stay tuned excellent thank you um that's all I have if it's okay unless you nothing um can I have a motion to open
the meeting for public comment on moved I'll second Lisa langre yes mayor Creo yes seeing no uh public in the chambers as there anyone on the zoom platform that wishes to comment on any topic whatsoever
