he'll take point on all the water issues yep that's it thank you Mr mayor thank you buildings and Grounds Committee Miss Weber thank you Mr mayor the work continues over at the public safety building um with the upgrades to the
fire suppression system uh there was the uh the wellhouse um well five the roof uh tree had fallen on it so that's under being repaired currently and then we had a boiler replacement at the nine Brady uh location that's all I have to report
thank you very much administrator thank you Mr mayor um I'll start with an update on water um our engineer H2M is currently working on the hydraulic model that we've mentioned before
um this model kind of develops an overall picture of the entire water system um hydraulic models such as the one being developed can uh be an invaluable tool in understanding the system behavior and we use this information to optimize decision- making
um regarding system operation so it takes a lot of input to get this right but it's going to give us a lot of valuable feedback um now and in the future forever hopefully future generations too um so right now where they're at with the model is a general framework has been developed um and
they've developed a flow test plan which is needed to calibrate the model um and then over the next several weeks H2M is going to be working with the burough staff uh to complete field flow testing um throughout the entire town so once that the model is calibrated HM is going
to run various uh scenarios to develop recommendations for addressing all the water quality complaints and clarity issues that we've been seeing the discolored water the odor um things like that um kind of on that same note we are aware the past week or so uh there has
been elevated levels of chlorine so we have received calls and complaints people have uh smelled a heavy chlorine smell um and and a look to the water so we are aware of that we are addressing it the water department's going to uh be working on this first thing in the morning to try and adjust those chlorine
levels um just a quick note on that uh we had some new equipment installed through with the PAS remediation project um so that takes some tweaking as everything kind of comes online again um we are also still working on the the water storage tank rehab project so that
comes into play a little bit too um we actually had to flip over the tanks uh earlier this week just to switch switch over and continue work on the other tank now so all this kind of contributes to some of the issues we've been experiencing but um definitely encourage
residents continue to call let us know if you don't notify us we might not be aware of the situation so please reach out whether you call submit the online form that's on the water department page or or shoot me an email at any time so thank you for everyone who has been
providing feedback um further down we do have a several ordinances tonight for introduction regarding traffic and traffic safety so I'll go into more detail on those later um I have been working with PD to gather all the quotes we need for the new equipment we want to
order new traffic safety equipment once the budgets pass um which hopefully we'll have capital pass tonight um I spoke to one company uh this evening so we have those quotes ready to go so as soon as we have the money for it we're going to start purchasing equipment and you'll see that start to go out as soon
as possible um I did discuss a a new target area for an additional study if we want to move that way in the future um PDA has recommended they would like to look at the West River Road area and the area around the Crescent School Gateway and Lockwood so um you know once
we kind of complete phase one which is the grid area and all the the new equipment signage that we're looking to implement maybe we could shift our focus that way and that's all I have for now thank you mayor thank you very much Clerk thank you mayor uh tomorrow's a deadline to change your political party
affiliation uh for the June primary just want to draw your attention to the uh legislature passed um A5116 and S4142 which changed the design of the primary election ballot to a block style um so there's no there isn't a party line
anymore um the candidates are grouped by position with a drawing for each position um for the order of the candidates for that particular position so um Bergen County block style ballot will be a horizontal ballot from left to right um and once I have the sample
ballot it will be posted um on our website um just so that people can get used to that because it is completely different and so you're not going to be able to follow along in a straight line you're going to have to go to each block um and that sample ballot like I said I
I'll post that as soon as I I get it um the primary election day just as a reminder it was moved to Tuesday June 10th and the polls will be open from 6:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m so you're going to be voting for governor general assembly um the Burton County Board of Commissioners and members of council in
this um primary election um I want to thank all the residents who donated to our our food barrel downstairs we had another pickup last week it leak week it was overflowing so we really appreciate um everyone uh pitching in and and dropping food off for um those in need
and I just want to wish everybody a happy Passover and a happy Easter thank you Miss Tatiana no report this evening Mayor thank you Mr attorney thank you Mr mayor so at the March 25th meeting I you know told everybody that we hadn't heard anything
about the COA lawsuit and the numbers and everything like that so March 25th was on Tuesday they had to have decisions and this all resolved by March 31st which was the following Monday friday morning I got into my office in about 5 minutes to 8 got a phone call
from the judiciary saying that our matter had slipped through the cracks and not was not scheduled and therefore they were scheduling it for 2:00 Friday afternoon so we called Steve steve made himself available our planner made himself available and we jumped on the
Zoom call with the judge and the quote special adjudicator as well as the New Jersey Builders Association and to save you the long and tortured discussions that occurred at that basically the DCA had set us at 178 we
had recalculated at 147 the builders were only willing to their standard 4% reduction but based on discussions with the judge with the special adjudicator and going back and forth we tentatively
agreed on a number of 164 somewhere in the middle to resolve it um it's all tenative because we have to you know obviously the mayor and council have to agree to it and pass a res a resolution i just got the proposed settlement
agreement yesterday so I'll be reviewing it and then we'll have a resolution on I'll provide you guys a memo with my thoughts and uh and we'll have a resolution on at the next meeting i will say that based upon what I'm hearing from other towns there was no rhyme or
reason as to how these numbers were decided by the judges in these matters a lot of times it really from what it sounds like just was a matter of who your quote special adjudicator was some of them are
basically just saying the DCA's numbers are correct and you want to make the adjustments make it as part of your housing element fair share plan you know which we're doing both we settled on a new number and now we're going to adopt the housing element fair share plan which is going to further reduce that number uh based upon the vacant land
that's available that's in my opinion how the program was supposed to work the you know others did not have such luck there were some towns that raised legitimate concerns and the judge and the special adjudicator you know reduce
their numbers accordingly now where this goes after we do the housing ament fair share plan is your guess is as good as mine but we'll continue to uh to move forward with this and make sure we properly plan like we always have during all the uh the co the prior rounds but
that's uh that came together late that Friday and uh you know I just want to thank everybody for dropping what they were doing that Friday afternoon to jump on the uh jump on the call and be available that's all Mr mayor thank you thank you are we going to close tonight no no items for close this evening thank

exceed the municipal budget cost of living allowance and to establish a cap bank pursuant to NJSA484-45.14 anyone from the council would like to comment on this ordinance you could go first so I think the you know essentially the the state caps how
much you can spend every year over your your last year's budget and if you look at the what's maximum allowable to what you budget for that delta is something that you can bank away for future years so that if there's some unforeseen cost that comes along next year or the year
after you can dip into the unused allowance over the maximum i think it's a a testament to this council every year we put that cap bank uh uh uh to the side uh I think it it it speaks volumes that we we we don't overspend but uh uh
anyway it's we'll put that we'll put that in there as we usually do thank you for anyone else okay if not I close the council's comments and open it up to the public anybody from the public if not I close the public's comments and

Summit near Trap Hagen School um I reviewed this one with a lot of input from our PD we actually went on site and and studied some of the traffic flow during uh pickup and drop off times at the school we also invited our traffic engineers from Boswell out to view it
and they kind of agreed with the recommendations um to make Summit A oneway during school hours um and during the school year uh so not in the summer uh so it would be a one-way street going down from RI uh Nordom to Ridge during
those set hours um just to try and help alleviate some of the two-way traffic uh because it gets pretty tight there creates bottleneck and and creates some issues for kids trying to cross the street so this is an attempt to try and uh gain some control over that now wasn't this also discussed with the the
school yes board of Ed also was involved with this we had meetings with them to talk about this and this is one of the uh issues that they came up with that they feel will alleviate as Steve said all the traffic that's there during the school uh picking up and dropping off anyone else

yes mr martinelloo yes mr raando yes mr richie yes mrs weber yes okay any unfinished business from the council oh he went first he can go first mine's just an easy question um just following up on a resident who came to the last
meeting talking about the light um problem he was having i spoke I sent him an email today uh and uh he know everything that he needs to know is uh what's happening is uh Steve met he he sent me an email the next two days later and then what he did was I responded
back to him today uh what uh has been done so far is that Steve met with Joe and also with the engineer and the attorneys involved and they're working on uh everything that uh he's looking wants us to look into and as I told him that this will be done as soon as our
budget's passed so as soon as I mean I have the email is that is that the property on Bergen that you're referring to or John D on John Dow okay sergio sergio yeah he's been aware of everything that's going on so that tales I think into one of the
things I mentioned i know there was an email about a house on Bergen uh it's a this is about lights uh from one house to another and and potentially you know the sometimes they're very bright they're they're up high and they're facing into windows of other houses i
fortunately my in-laws live like a block away from the one house we got an email from and I'm there all the time so I had an opportunity to walk past it uh during the evening hours multiple times i I have to say it it would annoy me uh if I lived there um so I again I think we
should if at all possible as we're looking at the the one residence on John Dow just think about the the residence in Bergen and I don't know if there's anything we do with the ordinance but well the ordinance is going to cover everything yeah okay perfect yeah perfect i I'll speak on that we had a lot of ordinances for introduction
tonight so the ordinance we drafted an ordinance my office drafted an ordinance to basically set what's called foot candle limitations at the property lines uh we surveyed towns around here and then we flipped it to your engineer who spoke with his lighting department and
compared it to the national codes and everything like that so we've adjusted it you'll have it for introduction at the next meeting now also anything anybody that has it already they'll be covered with this they could they'll it'll have to be everything will be changed correct good okay thank you uh sorry mayor just two two more quick
items that's okay so just following up on the the last uh last meeting about the H2S readings and just was wondering if you were able to get an update from the the sewer authority on I spoke with them today uh they did the uh they they stopped the gentleman in the street and
what they did is they're g gathering all the data and then what they're going to do is they said probably by our next meeting they will have uh results for us they're going to now do phase two um which they've they didn't decide what they're going to do yet about it but all they did tell me is that they have an
environmental engineer working with them to look at the other issues there was three complaints that was given uh last month I guess uh one two one of them was mulch second one was some type of
chemical in the house or chemical in the area and the third one they couldn't detect so they are they are working with everything and uh you know we have to wait for them to see what they're going to do they have some ideas he told me a couple of ideas that they have but he he
was waiting for um the engineers to review everything before he gives us the official what we're doing okay great no I'm I'm happy to wait um and then the last thing is just my bi-weekly reminder on redevelopment and the uh kind of what
the council would like to do as far as uh like a M like what is our vision down there are we going to we going to actually ever meet and discuss this enclosed i think we decided we're going to meet after in July everything will be brought back up in July in July yep why
we're going to wait till after the primary i think Steve knows that and we've talked about it okay anyone else yeah I have a question um I know we discussed in the past uh having like a separate page on the website for the different redevelopment projects in progress and potential so
has there been an update on that uh yeah trying to gather all the information we will have that that's still planned there's a few pages that we're we're trying to build out so because I know there's so many residents chattering online so it would be nice to just point them to a certain page try and get that up as soon as possible thank you yep
anyone else if not uh we uh public comment everybody from the public would like to come to the microphone here just give us your name no address please jim Schultz i'm here tonight with some other residents on Harrison Avenue
probably the last 3 to 6 months we have an issue with cars speeding down Harrison Avenue and I understand it's a pass through which I have no issue with because it's like John Dow you don't want to wait at the light you cut down Harris in half the problem is there's probably about 10 to 12 kids that are less than 12 years old that live on the
street they play in the street and these cars come down they think it's the Indianapolis 500 so I don't know if the town can do a study i mean one suggestion if you look at the stop signs they think they need to be reversed because if if you would come down Harrison from West Prostrect go all the
way down to Houston you'd go non-stop you don't have to make a stop at all if you come down Frederick you go west on Frederick and West Nangale you come down you stop at Harrison you stop at Houston but if you're coming from Houston going south or you're coming from West
Prospect going north it's a straight run and if you're out there 4:00 some nights and like I said majority of these people here have kids it's it's getting to a point where it's dangerous now and you can put the street signs out saying kids and playing and and it doesn't matter well first of all um I know you you
spoke with Steve and said you were coming and they're going to meet about this uh and the idea you just gave I know Steve's writing it down perfect so we will discuss that with the police and we will have some type of an idea what we're going to do in that area i know it
uh everybody does say it's a like a speedway down there yeah and I mean I understand it's a pass through yeah as long as you drive there 25 miles hour and you pay attention that's the street we live on but I mean today like I said on any given day it's you think it's a pace car at the Indy500 yes and it's
getting worse steve spoke with the police already and they we're going to be working on it good thank you thank you anyone else if not do I have a motion to adjourn motion by Katie second by Oh I'm sorry
