slide and the next um this is a this is a um a collaboration between the city of Venter and acit and um Drew next slide um the staff I just a little bit of data about the city of Venter how how densely
populated we are and how valuable a new open Green Space would be to the people the city of Venter who uh given we have a a beach but this is a this is a different aspect of uh of the city of ventner and we challenged um Drew Holmes and his class to come up with conceptual
designs the next slide this is a large track the land off to the left of that image in the green next slide next slide uh it was originally develop it
was originally contemplated to be uh homes and streets those paper streets are still on there but over the years it was not developed uh you can see that uh that's the same image there on the left hand side um next slide um this is the current tax map and
roughly the current uh uh state of it it's a it's a combination of of some paths and some uh some roads that uh that are still um prevalent through there but it's mostly untouched wetlands and some Highlands next
slide this was a a image of a um of a a part of a conceptual plan that the city did in our master plan this is one of the images that we gave Drew and his class here as a jumping off point for their study next slide and uh you may see this here and
I'll um I'll this is a topographical map that the class had done I'll pass this off to to Drew if you don't mind if you want to take it from here um and I and I just want to say thank you and to all the students that came here today and all the representatives it was really a
fascinating uh experience for me to see the creativity and the and the skill of this class they they um I think the the the they really they really um expanded on the idea of what this park could
potentially be in the future I'll leave it to you is got app mayor I guess we met with the May months ago school myself
and Tom and talked about the project and what was cool about is I was looking for a project to do that students wind up every year go of Jersey Society landscape arits and they had a design
problem and basically what that design problem is they designed forers and what what it does like each students we had students divided up
into students div oh can we let me give you a mic here move this one right over close yeah I for the zoom public apologize for my foolish Antics there
okay uh so we divided up into groups where we had about four students per table and they had about eight or nine design professionals at each table and what the students had to do the challenge was they had to come up with a
conceptual design each table had to come up with a conceptual design but the thing was they had to take it from somebody like I had to look at it like you're blind or I had to look at I see Mr Santoro over there had to take it like you're in charge of the public M
works department and you're thinking about it so everybody had their own little thought process you know you had somebody that had a wheelchair and uh it was great because what happened is the kids kicked in and went to town and uh
what was nice was they sat down and the students got the opportunity to meet with different design professionals and basically give their opinions and then listen to what the design professionals had to say and it was an awesome learning exercise and then we started
out by we started the day out with what exactly I'm doing here is we talked about the what they did they came in and did this toppo map first and the students met with the county and we met with uh the County GIS and they gave us a toppo map and then the kids came in
and cut this out on a laser cutter and made this map and what's nice about it is you can look at this map and tell what's useful and what's not going to be obviously if you see it the lighter colors are showing it's underwater so you're not going to be able to put a
trail underwat so that's just you're you're going to think about the high points what's observation and what's not you know uh then they kicked in and did a booklet and if you look right here I'm gonna bring in uh Kendrick up here and
he's going to talk about what he did with the booklet what's your name name is Kendrick TR I'm a student AC C can you come over here Krick um so what we did here for the
booklet is we we include like a lot of the stuff we went through so here's the uh wait where's the QR code uh it's not working not working all right so um here's an
introduction uh is like what the benefits of the Ecco Park could be the land in its history that's one of the things I had a look at we met with Dr Wagner from AIT
and he actually grew up back in the area and what the did the the students had to interview Dr Wagner and he explained you know what it was like in a his father actually took a maps and marked the maps up and showed the progression of how the
dump went and why it's called Glass Beach he explained all the background and the history and then Kendrick put it into this booklet right yep then we hit the demographics of the booklet and I don't
mean to be pushing you along but we we got to get going quick right so uh so um you want to talk about that uh we have a bunch of aerial photos of the site from um the 1930s up
until recently really and here we have um ecosystem in Wildlife that picture is by me and we had like a list of all the all like the creatures that live around the area in the
ecosystem and yeah perfect all right let's bring in the overall start talking about the entrance to the site how we designed that start over here my
name so my name is um oav Martinez uh I'm a senior here at c um so I guess I guess I'm very I guess thankful for this opportunity um given to us so that's what I want to say first
of all um but this project over here um over here is a um the entrance way of the park the other side there Kendrick yeah well you're coming that's actually coming this
way um so this Ecco Park um has a lot of um I guess murals and I guess statues that represent the wildlife and um I guess Wildlife here that lives here in New Jersey in this area um so you have
it like a grab a well I believe it's a her SE Bash yes there um more people will explain their mural um but you have the entr um a bunch of murals and that's
basically the Vance way for Eagle Park so yes yeah and I guess the guy that designed the entrance way couldn't be here but what he wound up doing was we had a uh you look at it he came up with a conceptual uh design it's like glass
that's Glass Beach and then the what the the graphic arts department came up with a logo for the Eco Park and we'll show you that in a minute or two but thank you guys thank you all right we're gonna go with uh we'll start out with Hayden
and uh Joey grab your so each each group we broke the class up into about a group of eight and each group had to come up with their own design for uh so I'm not talking in the
microphone each group had to come up with their own conceptual design for an outdoor classroom I guess the Park itself is located right by the middle school and so they came up with a design an overall design where they were linking the Middle School to the Eco
Park itself to use that as a teaching tool T and I'm going to hand over to Hayden and Joey hello everybody thank you for being here yeah so um I'm Hayden and this is
Joey and this is our Outdoor Classroom so um I'm going to let Joey talk about the uh Greenery and the design of the car all right so I made a uh I designed like a clover shaped like type of
overall design I think it looks really nice and I added Greenery around it you can see that there's um rocks too and you can see there's trees surrounding it there's like I think a
moss like all over the Arches and and stuff so I think it's a really nice design and Hayden's going to talk about some of the apps aspects so for the entrance we have a Trestle for the entrance and inside of The Trestle we have glass now we wanted
to incorporate Glass Beach into our design so what would if this was like if this concept was picked up for an actual design how it would work is you take recycled glass from Glass Beach and you like melt it up and form it into the way of the arch and you either tend to green
or red now right here we have a tint green for the entrance and over here we have a tinted red for the exit now when you walk into the Outdoor Classroom you'll have benches and desks for students to sit in you'll also have a trash and recycling bin in an Ava desk
for handicap students now another aspect of this design is the Whiteboard now the Whiteboard can pull up and rotate to accommodate for students on each side and it can also move this way for the Ava desk that is our overall design and
thank you for listening thank you for letting us be here and showing you our Outdoor Classroom each student had to come up with a piece of sculpture and and all the sculpture relates to the ecosystem of the
par but if you look at the concept is overall they're going to have walking trails and then I'll have boards that that'll talk about the wildlife and talk about the sculpture and I actually just spoke with uh somebody from uh Mason gross School of
Arts up at Ruckers and they'd be in on this and Stockton is definitely in on it and guess I left that out Stockton came in and basically worked with the kids in the beginning remember that ha let's bring up Robert thank you
sculpture first yeah hi I'm Robert mcra um I am a sophomore at acit for the CAD program and for my design I made an outdoor classroom in a sculpture um for my sculpture um I wanted to do like
something that represented like the citizens of vetner I was thinking about like what is something that they do in the summer like what is their favorite thing to do um so I decided to do a surfer dude because as you know like a
lot of people like to surf in the summer venor is known to be a very beachy town so I'm actually a Brigantine citizen myself and I thought like hey let's make like um a sculpture of like something that'll like represent like the citizens
a veter so I decided to make like a surfboard um and a palm tree and I made it um the surfboard propped up like on the palm tree and I made a little surfer
dude and him holding a surf board so for my Outdoor Classroom I wanted to make something very simple and like have like a lot of nature so we made some ADI desks and we wanted to make this bace like wheelchair
accessible we didn't want to like make like so much going on that like you can like barely even move around the place but we have our archways we have rocks surrounding it trees plants like all
that jazz um so for the archway um we decided to add like glass on top of um of our Archway and and yeah we just basically have like rocks and trees surrounding it thank you guys so much for letting me
present this it is truly an honor to be here today e do you want to go first sh speak to this hi good afternoon after I'm Sharon garika Ramirez and this is my
sculpture it's a sculpture of a sea bass which is mainly made of recycled glass from the Glass Beach and it's supposed to be laid out with its fins like openly so then it could look like it's like
rising and me and my teammates we also made a park which concludes of having a lot of greenery in their like surrounding it in some rocks also it also has a greenhouse where people can go like inside and study or just have
like plants inside we also have these desks and tables where the um children can study we also have this beautiful central plant garden and we also have tall trees for
shadowing and yeah thank you your birds flying away oh um uh this is this is my sculpture it's um of my name is Sarah um I'm a sophomore at
acit um this is my sculpture it's a flicker um which is very populated it's uh very prominent in like the Eco Park um it's uh has
like uh like the a tree and like the branches surrounding it like representing how when it finds home in like dead trees and it carves out a home in
trees yeah and this is my uh EO like f room um I kept it pretty simple um it's a the Contour of a habiscus flowerer with a su dial to see the time
based off the shadow of the sun um we kept it pretty simple we had a trail leading up to the classroom with a couple uh chairs and tables thank you
okay hi I'm mad Angeles Cruz and I'm a student at acit and this is a box turtle I did the box turtle because it's known in the forest and the woods I wanted to really go deep into the history of the site first and I did it more
realistically of how it would look it's has these abstract designs it's black and yellow and has like an orange eye and I was really curious in this animal and I was had a really fun learning about this and the history about it oh and it also will be made out of stone because I just thought that was just a
Bigg like pretty piece that you'll be seeing it really catches your attention all right so here is my classroom design I have three other people who helped me on this project but they could not show up today so we tried to describe a abstract design so here we
have like the bleachers and here will be a platform for the teacher or whoever is speaking to the class we also try to create two entrance ways with archways with vines all over them just to create a more eco-friendly type of design and
then over here we have um Ada friendly tables and we also have just more of a private section for when there's a smaller group of stud students we have another section other than like a bigger stadium and we really wanted to create a very open eco-friendly natureful and so
we have these rocks over here stones and it's full of grass and yeah thank youbody so we're going to present the mayor and Council in the city of vetner students came up with
a we have a a plotter at school and they came up the graphics class came up with a logo for the park itself and we made a sign for future home of thank you thank you so yeah Round of Applause these are this is the these are
future designers here they really took this project like um in the spirit of the problem solving the this this huge tract to land is a blank canvas and the and I want to thank you all for the concepts and the effort that you put in and and Drew the the level that you
brought this class up to and you challenged them to keep pushing the design I've been in that classroom and he is a Taskmaster he's got a million things going on and pushing them into into the model making and the graphic design and uh and the quality is just off the charts seniors you literally hit
it out of the park the seniors couldn't come they had done a bunch of different design it would have probably we'd be here another half hour but just want to thank the city of ventner everybody the parents for bringing your kids tonight definitely you could see what a great

the so they'll probably be at a at um they'll be at acit and just so I can I can we can talk offline but the the um as a conceptual project not you know the this was really a kickoff for the students so for the city project we're going to have a a kickoff meeting for
for the professional design of the park as well so I'll make sure you get invited to that all right yeah uh Capital discussions so no Capital discussions this evening correct correct um we'll have um minutes for December
19th and January 9th um we have no ordinance introductions and no um no public hearings uh we do have res uh resolutions this evening um by consent
uh the first resolution will be 2025763456 authorizing um a black party road closure for Venter Avenue um resolution
077 will be uh road closure for the holiday parade so a lot of this is yeah um same yeah there's there's a lot here that deal with all our events going from 76 it looks like
to uh um 87 they jump around a little bit there's one or two that snuck their way in right or dealing with other authorizing of the mostly it's no parking and um and boat ramp there's a so I'll just go through them they're
pretty quick um so that we don't miss anything if there's if you want to make bring any comments to them or say generally they're the same as last year right we we tweaked the wording a little bit to to show more clearly if it's no parking or if it's road closure or part
of the road closure title um so that's the only change okay and then so that's for uh the seafood festival the holiday parade uh the fireworks display the color run the the Maria Maria pasta
dinner the Cancer Society bike ride the marathon the block party again uh Farmers Market uh um and again these are all no parking or suspension of parking for these events
um waving a fees for City events so the city sponsored events we have various ones that we don't charge ourselves for uh and then we have uh 089 is um we'll be authorizing a tax refund um
090 will be um uh Management Services for the water tower repair and repaint for Remington and and Vernick not to exceed $143,000 um and then we have another tax refund
091 and another Z tax fund 092 and then we have uh authorization for Engineering Services for uh brick facade at the um at well number nine for not to exceed uh $3,500 that's for Zar
engineering um we have we have a another uh Public Works item uh not for uh ibank support for the uh uh lead service line replacement phase one in Venter Heights for
tetratech if I may that's also that's also the final design and specs for that project okay so I just want to thank commissioner langra for being on the front end of this whole lead uh uh service replacement so having this
already in the pipeline to start I think we're way way ahead of a lot of other communities um and this is for the design of that process um then we have um another award
for uh this is for host compliance for our short-term rental compliance monitoring um again if I may uh host compliance is gone the company now is granicus LLC they took over host compliance I see okay so this is
renewing the contract for three years with this uh under the new name gotcha so same service to um to monitor our short-term rentals in the city and it typically it has been at a savings to the city the
monitoring um resolution 096 is uh uh change order for the bulkhead at Winchester Avenue right and these are the final change orders that projects being closed closed out okay so that that project
will be closed out and it is I guess completed or closed to it I believe so so without any other comments commissioner Mento do you have any other comments on on those Workshop items I do not by okay so they'll be through
consent uh we'll have bills and payroll and I believe we have one discussion item this evening correct which is yeah that's fine there was a you want to brief brief Us in on that yeah it's
very simple it's a uh joining in with the county on U right PL application for the leap um it's called Eagle View what this is it's actually for use by this County various tax assessors gives them
access to the aerial photos and stuff they need to do their tax assessments so there's no cost to us it's just us endorsing and participating in that program the Hawkeye system it's a it's called Eagle View Eagle View same okay used to be called something else yeah
yeah great and we have to have those updated for what day-to-day use or for reevaluations well eventually if you do a revalue you certainly need to have updated tax maps but it's a good idea to
keep them updated on a regular basis um so the the assessor frequently needs access to aerial photography uh when he's doing his work to see the before and after of what's gone on at properties yeah that's right it gives a
gives you a a a look back onto the property and if you've ever been and and and so the tax assessor uses it when he gets questions from the public for their properties looking for compar comparables that that kind of thing do you know this is something the County's doing inh house or whether they're Contracting
out I I think it's a it the there's a a letter in your packet I believe hopefully that you got that and it uh it is a contract with a company called Eagle View forly known as P pictometry
so the county enters into that contract and then offers the services to all of the municipalities through shared service agreement uh and the package includes the resolution that will be on the next meeting for your approval assuming that you're willing to continue
this process Tom did we have that meeting with the county did that that's next week that's next week okay that's it for me thank you yeah okay so um can I have a motion to open the workshop meeting for public portion
I'll make the motion so this welcomes any uh any of the public to speak on any of the items that we've discussed so far in the workshop I'll second the motion Cindy can I have roll call commission Mano yes mayor Kel
yes seeing none in the chambers is anyone in the zoom platform have any comments for uh public portion on items we talked about so far anybody on Zoom wish to question or comment any of the items that have been discussed or commented on so

19 2024 regular and January 09 2025 regular I have a motion to approve minutes I'll make the motion second roll call Cindy commissioner Mento yes mayor Cal yes we have no ordance introductions no ordinance public hearing and no
ordinance adoption may have a motion to adopt resolutions 2025 d76 through 202-9665 $839 44 payrolls for this period $63,750 reports commissioner Mento do
you have any comments or reports yeah I do um let me just go to my little note here that was on this phone well one of the things just we've been you know updating for some new information so we
have some information on our uh Pages Facebook page on uh calendar Rance like some of the ones we just talked about tonight and we had resolutions on so if you're interested in any of the um activities coming up this year um you
can find the schedule on special events Facebook page and probably on our Facebook page also um also if you go to our um web page um for the tax collector you will
find the property tax relief app um for it's one application this year very important for anchor for senior freezes and another program called I believe New Jersey stay or stay New Jersey um
there's also a website you can go directly to with the state property tax tax relief app. new jersey.gov property tax relief app. new jersey.gov I encourage everyone to go to that and see if there's something you can apply for
for some tax relief um if the I'm trying to see what it's called stay New Jersey or New Jersey stay I can't remember what it is exactly um that's pretty exciting if that comes to fruition and and the state has put it out in their literature so
hopefully that will um happen that'll give some some seniors particularly in um people under a certain income and it seems to be a little generous for that income level um in my opinion some relief on their taxes so please go to
that and there's an application deadline great that's what I got great thank you um I I have um uh just briefly um projects are moving forward with the um
with the new Bandshell um and keep in mind there are believe this is true 102 days until Memorial Day that seems quick right I know it feels like we're in the depth of the winter but I just kind of
felt like that should be noted that we have a only 102 days left until Memorial Day so um keep uh that that's time to gear up for our spring and all the special events really put the Venter in a in a great life and um we're looking
forward to that week that nicer weather um any if yeah yeah okay I do have one more thing I believe we're going to be introducing our budget in March at one of our March meetings I met with Amy this morning and an auditor our auditor
and Tom and um they've been working hard all of them and Amy promised to work some magic and I think she's going to do it um at least help us you know for part of you know covering some of the expenses that are increasing this year
due to um really measures beyond our control um so uh thank you for all your hard work and um I look forward to seeing the final result great I have couple just a couple
of comments uh first uh like to compliment Rick and the DPW crew again for the the work they did on cleaning up this most recent snowstorm U streets were perfectly clear by the time I came to work U so I'm sure you all
experienced the same thing those guys were out all night they did a great job I want to just compliment them on that um to add to Future things coming up we have been issued our permit from cfra for the boardwalk project so that will
be a go I guess as soon as the summer is over but we're not going to try to start construction before that I don't think uh and the beachville project is finished you've probably seen the gigantic pieces of pipe being driven down Atlantic Avenue leaving town so
that project uh apparently went very smoothly I I didn't get any complaints from anybody about it and we have a nice big wide beach in places where there wasn't one so um another success story yeah can I ask Rick can you tell us
everybody sees your guys out after it snows um you know pushing the snow off the street but tell us what you do before it newns because I don't know if we all know what your whole team has to do before it SNS I live on veter Avenue so I can attest they were out all night
yeah this uh this storm was was unique in several ways that the uh it's it started snowing after our people were ready working for eight hours so for the cleanup part our people worked 24 hours
were actually on duty Around the Clock a couple people had to go home for child care and for to take care of their dogs and parents for a little bit and came right back but the preparation is great because um any storm we have we do we
have to apply and put on uh plows and very heavy salt spreaders and other equipment that we're going to need in the the days that will will come so that by itself takes two or three mechanics a heavy equipment operator and about 6
hours to do that all the equipment is checked for safety and make sure it's in proper operating condition and then uh we have to load and Stage equipment and other places we've expanded the manner in which we remove snow from our
sidewalks and put ice melter down on the sidewalk so we stash and put equipment out by the ball fields we stash some equipment by the library and then we have to uh begin brining the road we brine all the county roads from that pass through Venter from Atlantic City
all the way to the Longport bridge and uh Jerome Avenue that's uh ventner Avenue and then we brine uh some of our critical uh arteries and then we uh really focus on uh fire station one and two and City Hall so that the the police
fire and EMS can deploy safely and we have an emphasized um focus on City Hall to make sure our employees are safe when they're coming and going and can get their vehicles in and out and then this storm again was unique because it was dropping an inch of snow an hour so once
once it's plowable at about an inch and a half we just keep plowing and plowing and plowing and moving it continually um until we can see pavement and and we did we were able to um have an accurate uh weather forecast also
which was beneficial we we're now we've come through our second um major storm we have no accidents we didn't damage or hit any uh civilian Vehicles we didn't damage any of our equipment and uh we had no injuries also which was something
yeah something that we we pride ourselves and and we have a better uh uh focus on on safety so I'm very very proud of the men and women that work in public works and really John Connor our street supervisor Public Works supervisor orchestrates the the
equipment in Street like he's like he's directing an orchestra and it it works very very well so the day or night before snowfall you're getting all the equipment prepared and and the inventory and you're brining yes okay yes and
we're also staging uh salt and ice melter we have limited storage uh capability so we have to make sure we receive our delivery and we have all of our our salt spreaders um loaded uh onto the trucks and then loaded with so we can we can
get out quickly and I saw John the first storm and he was very proud it was It was kind of nice to see because he's like did you see the streets did how'd you do you know how do you think we did I'm like you guys did great yeah you also plow and take care of the parking lots at the
school regardless if they're open or closed their maintenance people handle the sidewalks we bring in the heavy equipment and handle that and uh we also respond we have we have certain citizens that um we have citizens that are on dialysis we have citizens that are alone
and by themselves that need to get out so so there's a a group of people that will call Public Works and in addition to making sure the streets clear uh sometimes we help them to make sure they can get out of their house safely or they could meet their transportation for
dialysis or these other emergencies so uh that that happens a few times they have our cell numbers and we we ask them to call us so so we could help them yeah yeah so it was it was very successful and and uh um I'm I'm very
proud of them yeah great job do you I'm curious do you have the pl where you Bran or or it just makes it easier yeah yeah the um it doesn't melt the uh snow and ice completely what it does it it limits the adhesion it doesn't stick to
the asfalt and it helps us it it's it comes off the road smoother and it reduces the buildup of ice so you can use you in Savannah yeah yes but but thank you that thank that's why you you probably no a while back when we were prepping our
equipment um even in the off seon we we had to come we need to plow we need parts and certain things so we have you know maintain our state of Readiness sometimes that jinxes it so you don't get any snow or weather but this time this time it backfired and we did get
