11
00:04:52.639 --> 00:05:08.720
the governing body about their views. The governing body prescribes the city council's bylaws in New Jersey statutes on open public meetings when engaging during public comment. As such, each individual shall have a threeminute limit to comment, cannot yield time to another individual, may only approach the podium once during public comment

12
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:25.280
for any one topic, and city council will not engage in dialogue with the public during this time. Disruptive conduct by audience members may result in removal following a warning and all participants are expected to adhere to professional decorum. The governing body maintains model courtesy and respect and requires the members of the public to do the

13
00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:40.639
same. >> This time if you signed a blue sheet. I think they're blue, right? >> Yes. Blue sheet. >> Rich will call your name and if you haven't once the names are called then can line up here and state your name and what you would like to speak about. >> First up I have Robin Blout. Robin

15
00:06:00.479 --> 00:06:16.560
>> 2211 Yankee Court in Violin. >> Just Vinland, that's all. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I built my house here in 2003. Three years ago, a teacher moved in behind me. He's been breaking in my home and harassing me. Then the violent police department has been upholding him

16
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:31.120
in his wrongdoing. Nobody's doing anything and I need something done cuz I retired from law enforcement myself and I've never experienced anything in my life like this before and I need something done. Somebody

17
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:47.360
needs to address this. Council President, we can I can contact the chief of police and find out uh a little bit more information for you. What What is the address again? You know what? Just write it down here. So, >> and my home was broken into and they

18
00:06:47.360 --> 00:07:04.319
stole one of my diamond braces. I had to go to I internal affairs for them to write a police report to get to the insurance company because they didn't want I guess cuz the cop is friends with the neighbor, they didn't want to involve him in the situation. But I pay taxes in violent. I pay a lot of taxes

19
00:07:04.319 --> 00:08:01.199
environment and I have a right to be taken care of like everybody else. >> Absolutely. >> Yes. Okay. Yes. Mhm. You spelled it right. You need my phone number. Okay. I even had it where

20
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:16.319
I did foster care in my home and one of the kids came to see me from Oklahoma and the kid was sitting in the driveway. The violent police department came to my house on my property and questioned that kid and asked for their driver's license. That's how much I'm being

21
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:32.640
harassed environment and I want something done. I can't even leave my home for them breaking in my house. >> Okay. Well, Mr. Tanette is our solicitor. He'll talk to the police chief and we'll see what we can get done with it. >> I appreciate it. >> Not a problem. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate it.

22
00:08:32.640 --> 00:09:02.080
>> Is there anyone else that uh would like to speak that hasn't signed the blue form? Please come up. >> Anyone else? Yeah, the blue horns are done. >> Sorry. >> Okay. Sorry about that. >> All right, Nancy Martin, Bridton. Um,

23
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:18.160
I am here talking about the animal shelter again. I I know you're probably tired of of this, but um this is still an ongoing issue. Um, we still have all the same unanswered questions as we've had since April 1st when the contract was uh was no longer valid. We still

24
00:09:18.160 --> 00:09:35.279
don't know anything about the capacity of the temporary holding facility. We don't know how you're handling medical issues, quarantine protocols, what happens if the animals are not adopted. We still don't have any solid answers or official communication on that. However, now there's a new development which is

25
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:51.040
actually the reason I wanted to come back. Um, so if you look on a national platform that are common commonly used by shelters, it's called adopt a pet. um valid platform. Shelters, rescues use it all the time to promote their animals. But now there's an official page

26
00:09:51.040 --> 00:10:07.120
operating under the name Violin Municipal Animal Shelter, which as we know is blatant misrepresentation. You don't have a shelter. There's no such thing as the Violin Municipal Animal Shelter. There's no existing building. There's no hours. There's no staffing. There's no license as a shelter. This

27
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:24.079
simply doesn't exist. So, this is actually feeling very deceptive now. And it almost feels like a band-aid, like you're trying to like violent is trying to deceive the public into thinking you've resolved this issue and met your legal legal obligation when in fact you're actually just kind of putting a

28
00:10:24.079 --> 00:10:39.680
digital placeholder on something that doesn't really exist. That's not responsible legal way to meet this obligation and it doesn't do anything positive for the community that might actually want to adopt these dogs. I do appreciate I fully acknowledge that

29
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:56.160
having photos versus no photos gives some of the dogs a chance to be adopted to be seen. I fully acknowledge that. I fully appreciate that. Some chance versus no chance. Of course, that that's a wonderful thing. Of course, it is. However, it it's because it's not being

30
00:10:56.160 --> 00:11:11.839
operated as a shelter. There's no visiting hours. There's no staffing. There's no volunteers. There's no fosters. There's no donations. There's no events. There's nothing that happens in an actual shelter because this is simply a website showing some photos and the I only happened upon it by chance

31
00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:28.480
because of following this specific issue. People I've talked to have no idea this exists. It's not out there. Violent has never made any public official public comment saying, "Hey, here's what we're doing." So, it's it does not look like you're trying to

32
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:44.399
fulfill the obligation. It also doesn't look like you actually truly care about the welfare of these animals on the site on the adopt a pet site. It not only is it deceptively claiming to be a shelter, but a lot of the animals now say needs home fast in big red letters, which

33
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:59.839
implies they're going to be euthanized, but again, we don't know because we haven't received any answers, any solid information. So, this isn't just about I I've mentioned before there's taxpayers money at stake that that isn't being addressed, but this is also truly underlying the welfare of the animals.

34
00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:31.600
This issue is about the welfare of the animals and people that care about them. And this is deceptive and it's not acceptable. >> You anyone else? Justice. >> Hi, I'm Larry. Um, I'm going to go a

35
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:48.000
little off topic here. I took a visit up to um Delaney Hall. It's uh and I know recently people brought up the denouncing of ICE and the things I saw and the things you hear going on inside that facility uh miscarriages because there's no medical treatment. People being teargassed and beaten inside of

36
00:12:48.000 --> 00:13:03.920
jail cells. People being isolated because they organized the hunger strike because there was worms in the food. Um I ICE hasn't been staying in Vineland like it's a tourist destination. They stay at our hotels. They wander around. There's

37
00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:20.560
no challenges. There's no legislation passed here stronger than the states. I don't understand how we're okay with this. Um, I got to go to Laney Hall on the 26th where I watched them violently beat women outside of the outside of the hall. It was just unarmed protesters

38
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:36.880
being dragged to the ground, beaten with batons. Um, it was pretty brutal to watch. Uh, people being pepper-sprayed, tear gas, maed, just unarmed people. And the whole time the ICE agents were just joking, laughing about it. Uh there was one

39
00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:51.920
instance where they pulled down somebody's mask and pepper- sprrayed them directly in the eyes and this woman was maybe 90 pounds and they made a joke about how she'll never be coming back here. Um this is a public sidewalk in New York. This ain't people doing

40
00:13:51.920 --> 00:14:07.839
nothing wrong. It's a first amendment right and these people are beating people. I still have some bruises myself. Um, I also had breathing issues because of the pepper spray interior ass. And I just don't get it. Um, they kidnapped a medic. It's also one of the

41
00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:23.519
wildest things I've seen. The medic was across the street minding his own business and they threw him to the ground, beat him, and dropped him away six blocks with no cell phone. That's not legal. Um, yeah. And again, going on

42
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:41.199
what's inside, it's it's just not People are being beaten. They're being tortured. Everybody here knows what the fifth, the fourth, the 14th, and the eth amendment are and why they exist and why they're so important. And just not be able to announce that. And then watching Vinand's little golden spoonfed little

43
00:14:41.199 --> 00:14:56.720
brat go up there and talk about how ICE is helping us and it's all our fault. And man, Mike Tesa just really waiting for that armband and the goose march. I It's just disgusting. I I wish at some point this is going to be your people.

44
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:12.320
understand it. Like it's going to be the people none none of you are necessarily like Spinelli is not a white name like you know the poem first they came for it's I did nothing you know it's just I wish people just learn their history learn

45
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:29.360
what it means myself I know my Irish descendants I know why I'm here I know that ICE is not something I should ever be for anybody should ever be for and I really wish people would just denounce it cuz again they were targeting women joking about it and beating meeting them in the streets of Newark. Thank you.

46
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:49.279
>> Thank you. Anyone else? No one. We will close the public session. Mr. President, I present ordinance number 2026-36, ordinance amending ordinance 2004-25 as

We're certainly, you know, moving forward as as much as we can, but the my client was just a bit of a nervous Nelly. He was a little concerned. The ordinance made it

65

seem like the purchase of the property was a bit of a foregone conclusion. And again, while we're still very interested, uh we do intend to conduct our due diligence.
