3
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:48.640
meeting tonight. Public comment provides an opportunity for members of the public to inform the governing body about their views. The governing body describes the city council's bylaws and the New Jersey statutes on open public meetings when engaging during public comment.

Disruptive conduct by audience members may result in removal following a warning and all participants are expected to adhere to professional

5
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:18.400
decorum. The governing body maintains model courtesy and respect and requires the members of the public to do the same. >> This time if you'd like to speak and line up on the side, come up. State your name where you live. >> Mr. President, I have Raymon Moa Jr.

6
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:42.159
Raymon Mora Jr. State your name, please, where you live. >> Hi, my name is Ramon Mora Jr. I'm from Violin. Um, I'm coming to you um kind of as a advocate for a community that I just received noticed of I what I believe is

7
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:57.840
an abuse of a landlord or at least neglect. Um, the Walnut Manners Apartments, they recently got notice that all of their cooling AC units that were uh that came with the uh their residents

8
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:13.599
would no longer be repaired or maintained, which right before the summer seems to be problematic. Um, these are people who um can't afford legal representation or advocacy. Um, these are people who really can't afford

9
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:29.599
to buy units and are discouraged by um, the leasing office to uh, put in window units. Um, I lived there growing up for 17 years. I know firsthand what it was like to not have uh, cooling. A lot of

10
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:46.239
people like to think that it's a luxury. I don't I don't see as a luxury because uh people who oftentimes live in these communities the inside temperatures of the apartments can get to 90 degrees easily with the humidity of violent. Violent has a very humid climate. You have people who are over 65 in these

11
00:02:46.239 --> 00:03:02.239
communities who will be at higher risks of heat strokes. Um I'll tell you what that kind of looks like as a as as a little kid who was living there. Um it means having less concentration in school. It means having less uh sleep

12
00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:19.280
quality because I can't sleep because of the heat. Um it also means passing out when I'm trying to study for homework when I was a little kid. It means uh increases of crime and aggression in the community. Um there's no surprise that Wana Manners um has a reputation of a

13
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:35.440
lot of crime um and a lot of police involvement in the area. Um, part of it could be just the neglect from just uh the city as a whole. I understand that there's nothing on the books for uh

14
00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:51.599
landlords to be required to provide cooling. Um, I say that you guys should challenge it. You have over a 100 units at that just at that one apartment complex, over a 100 residents who live there. Um, I've seen it done in other places throughout the country where

15
00:03:51.599 --> 00:04:08.560
their council um implemented ordinances that mandated that they would have to have some type of cooling in the property. Um, and this is a this is already a property that has units and the landlord is unilaterally saying

16
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:24.000
we're not repairing it. We're not doing anything. which to my understanding is a violation of at least a few things according to code my discussions with code enforcement. So I would implore you to maybe look into that if not just you know it doesn't matter how you feel

17
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:39.759
about me you have a lot of people in the community who are going to suffer. Thank you >> Mr. Dickson, >> can I can I address that real quick? >> Landlords law really well favor the tenants through the

18
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:54.639
habitability defense. It allows a tenant to withhold the rent um until the property is repaired. If they lease the property with air conditioning, then that's part of their lease. Um they can go after the landlord. um there you can

19
00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:11.039
get treble damages and they can afford an attorney because if they're typically if they if they're indigent and can't afford one they can go to Camden Legal Services which they're actually right here on Landis Avenue and they'll provide free legal advice and they do a lot of landlord tenant work.

20
00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:27.360
>> So I actually advise some of the tenants that I talked to about that same exactly what you had mentioned. A lot of them fear the landlord um retaliatory actions from the landlord so they don't speak up >> and that causes treble damages in in the landlord tenant court. So they have really really good rights. I used to do

21
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:42.240
a lot of that. >> I I know. Um but also like I I was speaking with code enforcement and they said that the habitability is only doesn't really pertain to cooling and which I was pushing back saying like well you know if you're at risk for heat stroke and you're like 70 years old living in these apartments that that's a

22
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:58.800
habitability problem. Um I just I hope the city council can maybe reach out to the landlord um if not the community there and say like hey you have rights know your rights and kind of expand on that because a lot of them fear eviction fear retaliatory and I understand where you're coming from from a legal

23
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:15.120
perspective but these are people who don't they don't um know their rights they don't know the law um and are scared >> turn them on to the Camden region they they do a good job and um and they're right there on Landis Avenue. >> Yep, I have been.

24
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:33.120
>> Bobby, also speak to um L and I to Matt and make sure that our inspectors are going in there and making sure that they're following the things that they have to follow so that they don't have to can't deal with the air conditioning, but they can deal with all the other stuff that's going on. >> Yeah, I I actually talked to uh Matt

25
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:48.319
Crow. >> Matt Rabbi, right? >> Okay. I didn't speak to him. Croll. Yeah, I spoke to him today. >> Correct. Correct. And again, um, these are AC units that I've seen pictures of, and there's mold growing inside of them. They've been there as long as, um, from

26
00:06:48.319 --> 00:07:03.039
when I used to live there, which is over seven, like 15 years ago. And I doubt that they've been maintained. And I mean, like, some of these internal components are rusted, like completely just in disgusting conditions. >> All right, we'll do we'll look into it, see what we can do with it.

27
00:07:03.039 --> 00:07:26.560
>> Appreciate it. >> Next I'm Nicole Gardner from Vineland. Um I have two separate issues I'd like to comment on. First is the proposed David Development project on Lincoln A that will be heard at tomorrow's planning meeting. There isn't a traffic study

28
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:43.280
because the engineer doesn't see this specific project as a traffic issue. This project exists in a vacuum or it doesn't exist in a vacuum and it's being built right in the middle of a known hightra area. I asked planning if it wasn't their job to address the issue whose it was and they said the cities

29
00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:58.560
which I can only assume is the five of you and the mayor. Um Lincoln Avenue has had multiple traffic studies done dating back to 2009. Highlights from those studies include notes such as Lincoln and Magnolia. There's a traffic capacity problem at this intersection based on

30
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:13.840
the existing traffic volumes. a traffic signal is warranted. And there's a high rate of rear end and angle turning movement crashes. And Lincoln Avenue has the third highest accident rate per mile according to a 2010 study. And traffic

31
00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:29.120
analysis results show that many intersections along Lincoln Avenue operate at or exceed their capacity. While many intersections warrant a traffic signal based on existing volumes, existing volumes and/or crash patterns. By design year 20 240, traffic

32
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:45.760
volumes are expected to continue to increase, resulting in degraded traffic operations, particularly during peak commuter uh periods. Specifically from the 2018 Vineland master plan re-examination, it is imperative the city evaluate their vehicular roadways in order to enhance

33
00:08:45.760 --> 00:09:01.920
traffic safety throughout Vineland and the surrounding Cumberland County. And on and on and on. I understand that this is a county road and there is a need for housing, but at some point the city has to step in and actually take action. Something should have been done a long time ago. I ask this board to take some

34
00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:18.560
action to actually address that area, push our city of professionals to push for reports, to make better informed decisions, and to not wait for another study to discuss how many more new accidents have occurred. The other comment I wanted to make was about our friend Charles over at Data 1. He was

35
00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:35.120
featured on a podcast within the past couple of days discussing general data center development and he touched on the one here in Vineland. He was all over the place. He said, "We'll use no water." And then he said, "We'll use one, two, three, four, or five pools of water." Um, he said, "We'll make so much

36
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:51.360
power we can sell it back to the city. You've never seen this kind of data center before. There's just no playbook for it." Just listening to him speak, I have no idea how anyone believes a single word coming out of his mouth. And on a personal note, as a working mother of

37
00:09:51.360 --> 00:10:07.839
two who's using practically every extra minute she has to stay on top of this debacle and to coordinate with other concerned community members, I take offense to his comment that the only people protesting here are paid actors and no real working resident of Vineland

38
00:10:07.839 --> 00:10:24.720
is actually concerned with this project. That's who you have invited into our community by being complicit to the whims of our mayor. >> Thank you. >> Next,

39
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:41.120
state your name, where you live, please. >> Hi, I'm Larry. I'm from Vinand. Um, I'm going to bring up a program real quick. Uh, it's called Youth on the Course. If you want the information, I will happily give it to any of you. It's they give out scheduled times to golf courses. It's like $5 per play. It puts to use that they offer scholarships. They let

40
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:56.880
kids you know underprivileged kids get to go on the golf course that you know all the poor people are going to look at. Um yeah on the Benet comments during that podcast the 1 gigawatt expansion came up again. Um do we have a guarantee like I know Fucci said in the past but can you at least do like a maybe

41
00:10:56.880 --> 00:11:12.480
something where you actually legally guarantee he won't go to one gigawatt just something you know um the paid comments that were paid protesters. I promise. I wish I was. The amount of gas money I wasted going out through fighting this dang data center. Um I

42
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:28.160
really wish somebody was paying me for it. Uh my last thing is on Vargas cuz you made a Facebook post and you mentioned me. I saw that. I I like it. You found your voice. I just wish you found your spine to keep it up. And uh yeah, that's I wish the youth get the

43
00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:45.120
youth out. Get the youth involved. They come into Wawa. They literally just steal from Wawwa all day. My mayor visited me there. He ran away from me. It was kind of adorable. Um, but you need to get the youth. You just We have 12,000 kids at how many youth centers? 12,000 kids. How many youth programs? I

44
00:11:45.120 --> 00:12:02.160
swear I go to Newtonville. Newtonville is the Martin Luther King Center. Middle of nowhere, maybe a couple hundred kids. They take care of Collings Lakes, Falsam, and Newtonville. And we don't have anything like that here for those kids. That's all. Thank you. >> Thank you.

45
00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:27.680
Is there anyone else that hasn't signed that would like to come up and speak? >> Say your name, please. Where you live? >> Bert Brewster. I live on Plum Street. Um, I am also talking about the AI data center. I have read the environmental

46
00:12:27.680 --> 00:12:44.160
statement that data 1 has put out. I have concerns about the water usage. It says that it will be using the city's mainline that is already in that area. As you know, New Jersey has been in a drought according to the NJD for the last few years, including last year

47
00:12:44.160 --> 00:13:00.560
where Vinland residents had water off and on throughout the summer um or certain parts of the summer. Um, I would also like to encourage people that are listening currently that if you have noise complaints, you can go

48
00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:24.000
uh according to the NGT to the Cumberland County Health Department, which can be contacted at CACOH.org or at 856-327762. I would also like to state that the

49
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:42.800
environmental statement uh uh has a section on proposed alternatives and that it does not go into depth on other land usage. It says that typically that other industrial uses um have less pollution

50
00:13:42.800 --> 00:14:01.120
uh air emissions noise uh problems but it does not go into depth about that comparing it to other industries and I'd like if there's an opportunity to have more clarification on that more clarification on that also if you are concerned about Landis

51
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:17.519
theater uh ordinance 20 2634 is being talked about today. I'd encourage you to look up the city meeting and look at that ordinance so that way you can be better prepared if you'd like to speak on that when that opportunity comes

52
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:49.760
forward. Thank you. >> Anyone else? Please state your name, where you live, please. >> My name is Nancy. I'm actually in Bridton resident, but I have many family and friends that are living in Violin and very concerned um about the lack of transparency regarding

53
00:14:49.760 --> 00:15:05.199
>> Nancy, what's your last name, please? >> Martin. >> Thank you. So, I'm here to talk about the um lack of contract with an animal shelter as legally required for each city. Right now, we have a apparently, according to social media, a temporary agreement

54
00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:21.120
between Vinand and some place called LA Hardy Hound K9 Training Academy. Um, but the concern is that there's been no transparency and that this is does not legally follow the requirements for each city. And there's been a lot of

55
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:35.760
questions raised that we do not have answers to. And these are just some of the the many questions. >> Ma'am, to answer that question, it's the contract with the animal shelter is under litigation. So, we really can't tell you anything.

56
00:15:35.760 --> 00:15:53.839
>> Well, in terms of the LA training academy that that there seems to be a temporary contract, there's no transparency regarding that either, which is not part of the litigation from my understanding. and call the business office. I'm sure they can help you. >> I have attempted to do that. Um, we do

57
00:15:53.839 --> 00:16:10.399
I'm saying we because I've spoken to many family and friends in Violin. Uh, we have not received any call backs, any emails back. We've gotten no communication regarding such things as the mandatory 7-day stray hold coming from New Jersey. What happens with the dogs that are at this this temporary

58
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:26.639
facility after the seven days? How are the outcomes being tracked and documented? Will the outcomes be disclosed to the citizens who are the taxpayers supporting this? Is is this a temporary agreement? Is this a long-term agreement? We don't know. There's no

59
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:43.040
there seems to be no plan for any cats. We've only seen dogs posted again on social media, not from communication official. Are they being quarantined properly? Are they receiving medical care? There's a lot of questions regarding the welfare of these animals. The citizens of Island do not have these

60
00:16:43.040 --> 00:17:02.160
answers. This is not acceptable for the citizens. This is not acceptable for the community who loves the animals and we would like some transparency and some communication. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Anyone else? >> See no one will close the public

61
00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:20.720
