>> Hello, I'm Nicole Gardner. I live here in Vineland. I attended Milville City Commission meeting last week, and the difference between that meeting and every meeting I've ever been in front of this council was night and day. Every commissioner there was engaging and an open to communication. They took time after public comment to answer
questions. They didn't stare down at anyone. They didn't give anyone a sarcastic bless you after their comments. They appeared to understand that at the end of the day, whether or not they agreed with what was being said, they had been elected to make the decision for the people. You could all learn a lesson in this. Part of that
meeting, as you know, was to introduce a ban in data of data centers in Millville. And whether it passes or not, it was a move in the right direction. We are seeing this action being taken in communities across all of New Jersey. communities, I would assume, that have very similar zoning and planning laws
that we do, where we were told there was nothing the council could do because of lawsuits. And from communities where data centers have been built, we're inundated with their stories of air pollution, water contamination, and promises of new technology that don't deliver. The writing is on the wall for what lies ahead for our city, and you
sit here staring blankly or doodling on your papers. There are still steps you can take to speak up and protect us from potential harm. As of today, data 1's air permit is stalled due to administrative deficiencies. The meeting for the amended site plan has been pushed to May 28th. We have reached out
to council on multiple occasions, both here and personally, to request that you consider a community benefit plan. Actions such as this include independent energy impact statements, updating vague wording in the city code related to noise limits, binding agreements to hire
locally first, and a community benefit fund to offset utility rate increases. I'm here to offer that conversation again. We're ready to talk to you. You need to meet us here. Hold this company to their word and make sure that there are no added hardships for the citizens
of Vinland. Off the topic of data one, but related to transparency, I know there's been a lot of talk about the Landis Theater closing. The city has made a public comment that I would like to point out was very carefully worded because the rumor isn't so much that it's closing, but that it'll be under
new management of a Vineland resident who happens to also have ownership in Data 1. And at the end of the day, it's a city-crolled entity with the power to appoint management. But here's my point to all of this. Rent for the theater was recently dropped from $5,000 a month to 2500 a month. And council just voted to
approve $2 and a4 million in UE funds for improvements to the theater. This all sounds like a community benefit plan that's benefiting a single resident. If the council and Mayor Fenucci are so willing to do it for one person, why is it so difficult to consider it for the rest of us?
>> Have a blessed day. >> Thank you. Have a nice night. Yes, sir. State your name, please, where you live. >> Jacobe Lindsay. I live here in Vin, New Jersey. Uh, and I am here today alongside of my cousin Jeff Lindseay to bring awareness to a new committee that
was formed, the Renaissance Group. Uh the Renaissance group is uh a group of people uh that are residents here in the city of Vandin that were either uh born and and raised in or still live in the areas between the boulevard, uh West
Avenue, Wood Street, and Aaron Street. Uh we are getting together to form a a community watch and any other things necessary as far as community cleanups and uh to take care of the safety and heritage of those that came out of the
that particular neighborhood that ironically is also uh the uh for years has been the prominent African-American community here in the city of Vin. uh we will uh be inviting you guys to come out and speak with the uh people from the
community, some of the residents, uh the heads of the three African-American churches that also are slated uh in that community as well. Um but we just wanted to bring awareness here tonight about that so you guys know uh what we're doing, who we are, and uh what we're
going to be presenting you guys with. All right. >> Thank you, Jacob. I told Jeff to uh just email me and let me know what dates you guys are doing all that stuff. >> Definitely. So, >> thank you. >> All right. Thank you, Jeff. >> Mr. President, I have uh Andrea Land who wants to speak about water report. Andrea Land, >> please state your name where you live.
Ma'am, >> got it. >> Hi. My name is Andrea Land and I live on South Main Road in Vinland. I just wanted to speak about the Vinand tap water quality report that we just got. Um it tested our groundwater
in Vinland and they found five contaminants that were above the EPA MCLGs and the report recommended that we use certified water filters to reduce the risk of getting these uh contaminants.
Um water filters are expensive and replacing the filters are expensive. The other the other alternative is people buying these big cases of those plastic bottles of water and then we get plastic into the environment. And I'm just throwing it out there, but maybe
the city of Vinland when we have this many contaminants could supply water filters to Vinland residents who request one. The contaminants tested five above the guidelines. I'm going to try and
pronounce them. One is per floroctinic. Oh wow. Brmo doromethane gross alpha bromeothform and uranium. Let's talk about the first one. That's
all I have time for. Um, it's a PFAS uh contaminant which means it's a forever it's a forever forever chemical. That's what that stands for. That means it stays in your body and it accumulates and the risk is that as it accumulates after you know
like 70 years you can get cancer. And I remember we used to get notices in the mail of the water reports and there would always be a contaminant in there and it would always say but don't worry you'll only get cancer if you drink it for 70 years. I'm 73 so yeah I have been
drinking it for many years. Um this particular contaminant per fluuroactanic um it causes prostate and kidney cancer and my husband died of kidney cancer. It causes liver and he lived in violent for
his whole life. uh liver damage, immune system effects, reduced f fertility, pregnancy induced hypertension, liver damage, risk of obesity and it interferes with natural hormones including thyroid. A very dear friend of
mine is pregnant. She already has hypothyroidism and she has autoimmune disease. And I found that this particular contaminant or these forever chemicals, the only way you can get them out of
your body is um well, one of the ways to get it out of your body is through breast milk. So when she's has the baby and is going to be breastfeeding, she is going to pass those forever chemicals on to her
newborn baby. I think that's horrible. So our water our water is not good as it is. Then data centers can threaten drinking water, especially when they're built over sensitive aquifers near wellhead protection areas, which is happening in our town. There's risk of
tank leaking, fuel line ruptures, storm and flood damage, uh, and cooling systems may use uh, refrigerants, corrosion inhibitors, and biochemicals. So, what I'm just
saying, our water is already bad. We're already putting our residents at risk. Oh, and if if you could do something about it, that would be what >> and give Mr. Dickinson your information and someone uh this way you could talk to somebody that deals with the water department. >> Okay.
>> And see if something can be done. >> Gentleman right here. >> Now, gentlemen, >> right there. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. You're welcome. >> Next. State your name, where you live.
All right. Um, Larry from Vinland. Um, just could talk on two things before I move on to another topic. Uh, True North showing up to the planning board and trying to barricade the parking lot from homeless people. That's just ironic. That's not a church. That's just I don't know what that is. Second thing is our public defender that I tried to warn you
about him being on Tesla's law firm with Tesla being a very racist individual. William Holmes is writing articles for the Blaze. The Blaze is a known their most known article is when they compared the KKK to the BLM. So, I love that that's our public
defender in a high density minority city. Um, yeah. I don't the data center. I I don't know. I still understand why this is going through. It's cool to see Millville. It's so weird walking into Monroe Township and Millville and Bridgton and the communication is just
so much so much cleaner, so much better. you get openness and I had no faith in Milville's commission when they were elected and at least they talk. I don't I don't know what's going on. I just I still the budget meeting Fucci disappearing as soon as public comment opens. I don't even know where Fucci's
been this entire time. Uh Tesla supporting it Drew supports it. Uh I'm glad I guess since the guy that donates their campaign is behind the data center. It's just frustrating. I I didn't really have much to say today. I didn't really plan anything. thing. I think this is a lot of money going out
and I wonder how many people invite even though there's a meeting going on tonight. Would be nice to give the public better notice. Um yeah, I I do want to add a topic is there's a bunch of empty buildings on Landisk. Can you just like pick one and make it a youth center? Like the simplest thing in the world. You want to
get kids off the street. You want to give kids a place to go that don't have the money, don't have the funds, their parents aren't home. Youth center. There's an empty um furniture outlet on Landis. Just something. Pick a building. Build a youth center. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Say your name where you live.
>> Good evening. My name is Bailey Winder. I live in Maze Landing. I'm here tonight because this fight is bigger than one project. It's about who gets heard in Vineland and who gets silenced. And I want to start with something that happened last time I
stood here. I asked a basic question about a possible conflict of interest. The result was a threat by Council President Paul Spanelli with a slander lawsuit. I hope it doesn't come to that today. For asking questions, for speaking up,
and for simply doing what every single member of this community is entitled to, to speak our mind in America at a public meeting. If that doesn't concern all of us, it definitely should. It's intimidation and it is unacceptable.
But here's the thing. It didn't scare me off and it won't scare off this community either. If anything, it lit a fire because people know when something's wrong when questions are met with threats instead of answers. And let me
be clear, we are not going anywhere. Not next week, not next month, not after a postponed vote. Because this issue is doing something powerful. It is bringing the community together left, right, and center. People disagree about almost
everything in politics right now, but this is about community interests versus big corporations and versus political deals that enable them to get the red carpet rolled out. Just a few weeks ago, we held a rally. Multiple organizations coming together,
neighbors standing side by side, proving what this movement is about. Because this is not so much political as it is about water, electricity bills, quality of life, protecting our farmers and our community. And now there's a
postponement. If anyone thinks that a delay in a decision means we are going to lose momentum, they are wrong because what is happening here is going to continue and be sustained. We all know the playbook. delay, wait out
voters, then push through when nobody's watching. That's not going to happen this time. A delay doesn't weaken this movement, it strengthens it. It gives us more time to organize, to dig in, to demand real answers. So, it's not going
to work. And the questions that we are asking are incredibly reasonable ones. Why are decisions moving so fast? Why are basic details about energy and water so unclear? Why are residents getting reduced speaking time when the community
concerns are at a peak? That's not how you build trust. It's how you lose it. And this is bigger than violent. This is a fight across New Jersey, across the country. Twothirds of the residents of New Jersey are in favor of a moratorum on data center development. I join them
in a call for that moratorum. We should have city council and local government stand with us and our desires to protect the community interests. Massive AI data centers without guardrails, without transparency, and
without putting people first are not the job of elected officials. >> Wrap it up, sir. Time is up. >> You could go time there. >> Um, communities like ours take the risk and corporations take the reward. But here's
what gives me hope. That this community is not backing down. Not after threats, not after delays, not after being told to be quiet. So, I'll end with this. You can delay a vote. You can try to intimidate people, but you cannot stop a
community that is awake. We are going to keep showing up. We are going to keep speaking out. And we are going to keep fighting until Violent's future is decided by its people, not by corporations thousands of miles away. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Have a good night. Anyone else? Seeing no one, we'll close that. Okay. >> Oh, go ahead, sir. I'm sorry. Hello. Sorry everyone. Sorry. My name is
Rashid Khan. Uh I'm representing my brother. He's living in Los Angeles, California. He's a lot of property. >> Speak into the microphone. >> Sorry. He's the property here. I'm He's property manager in the Bland in
Melbour. So we have some property here. The 501 Eastland Avenue. This is the world building. Uh we bought it this 2019 and 20 2018 and 2019 I
think. Uh so they are still empty. There's no rental not find any and tenant. So they are I now I planning to make some small one event party. So the birthday party, anniversary and some uh
local we have Asian community lot here. So they are interested to make inseal our own party centers. So I apply last year
with all proposal. I'm sorry with the every paperwork but I'm still waiting last I I think n eight and nine months I not receive any any response.
So I talked to Miss Katy Hec many time. So today he's advised me to come to the city council in uh >> I believe that resolution is on tonight >> ordinance or
uh it's on for final reading tonight. >> Okay. >> You can speak at that time because that's when the public hearing is or you can continue to speak. >> Oh okay. Sorry sir. So he told me she told me she told me you can come in this console and >> that's fine. >> Yeah you can talk. So this is we are
