gets blessed tonight. So uh and then I will conclude that prayer with a blessing done in English and in Hebrew. This way we cover Christianity in Hebrew. I don't know Arabic so I can't do anything there. So
let us pray. Lord, our governor, whose glory is in all the world, we commend this township to your merciful and loving care that being guided by your providence,
we may dwell secure in your peace. Grant to our mayor, council president, council people, administrator, and all people here. Grant to them
uh the fullness of strength and wisdom to know and to do your will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful of their calling to serve this people and this community in your love
and in your fear. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God forever and ever. >> Amen. >> Amen.
>> And now the blessing prayer. It is the prayer the priestly prayer of uh prophet of Israel who gave this to his people when they were in trouble. May the Lord bless and keep you.
May the Lord look kindly upon you and give you his peace. Shalom. Amen. God bless you all. And uh I have to tell you I didn't vote for any of you
because because I don't live in the township. I live in Riverale. So, uh, I am a devout Republican from Rivervale. So, I just wanted you all to know that that, uh, I pray for you, uh, not only here, but in my private prayers and at
the celebration of mass as well, that you should all do well, be healthy and happy, and work nicely with one another, as we hope you will, and I hope that even in the church as well with its leadership. So, God bless you all.

I want to thank Judge Carol for taking the time to swear us in this evening. I have known him for decades and and honored that he accepted my invitation
to do so. I want to thank Father Tom for doing our invocation this evening. I have also known him for decades, starting when I was an altar server for him during my grammar school days at Our Lady of Good Council School. I am humbled to be starting my third term as
your mayor. I sincerely look forward to building on my relationship with the council to keep the town moving forward. I hope they feel the same way. It was my pleasure to swear in AJ Pakora as the new chief of the police department and most of the 2026 fireboard officers
including Chief Frank Ayella. We have started the process of moving pet licensing to an online service. This is not to replace the option of coming in person, but will be offered in addition to the current in-person visits. More information to come. I want
to make a comment about our leaf collection program. A few years ago, we switched from staging the leaves at Cherry Field to transporting them directly to our disposal provider. After hearing from the residents and making my own observations, I have determined this
plan is not working as expected. We will be researching options for next year's program. Recreation news. The 2025 2026 basketball program season will start this month. Thanks to the many volunteers that will be helping out this
season. Lots of luck and much fun to all the teams that will be participating in the instructional, intramural, and travel programs. Township of Washington 2026 lacrosse program registration will open on Friday, January 9th and end on
Friday, February 13th. If you are interested in volunteering with the lacrosse program or any other program, please contact the superintendent of recreation, Dan Scudi. A background check for all volunteers 18 years of age
and older is required. The fun with art and fun with cartooning program registrations will open on Monday, January 26th, and end on Friday, March 13th. As a reminder, teen will resume again this Friday. The Teen Center is
available to all Westwood and Township residents in grades 6 to 8 on Friday nights from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Westwood Community Center at no cost. Basketball, volleyball, pingpong, billiards, air hockey, and Xbox on a big
screen are just some of the available activities. Parents must fill out a registration form at the teen center on any Friday night or during business hours at the community center. Refreshments are available throughout the evening for a nominal fee. The
Burrow of Westwood and the Township Recreation Departments formed a joint venture to create a year-round SNAP program for children and young adults with special needs. The goal of this program is to provide positive recreational and social experiences for
all our participants. This program is open to any child aged seven through young adult who has a physical or learning disability. Please visit our website for more details about this program. Police Department news. They conducted interviews for the open positions within
the department. They also completed their range qualifications. Lastly, they took possession of a completely upfitted patrol vehicle. Fire department news. For the month of December, the fire department responded to multiple CO and
fire alarms as well as odors of natural gas. The department responded to a couple of calls reporting vehicles smoking and one mutual aid called to parameters for coverage during a working fire. At 11:25 p.m. on December 21st, the department was dispatched to a
residence in town for a reported fire on the exterior of a home. The bulk of the fire was extinguished prior to their arrival. Firefighters conducted overhaul for embers still showing in the house sighting and cleared the scene about 45 minutes later. Their annual tree sale
this year was a success and they thank all that came out to support the department. They would like to acknowledge Chief Zach Myros on a job well done and look forward to working alongside new chief Frank Iello and the 20 26 Board of Fire officers. They wish
the town residents a happy and healthy new year. DPW news. The construction of the new DPW facility started today. We look forward to getting the employees of the department a facility that will serve them well into the future. Public
affairs planning is currently underway for the we love our residents weekend in February and initial preparations will begin for the township's 4th of July celebration. Zoning office. There were a total of 27 zoning applications reviewed for the
month of December. Library. December was a wonderful month of gathering the community together to celebrate the holiday season. They held special holiday social programs for the local seniors, children, and special needs groups. They once again received a
grant from the ALMS organization for transportation of the seniors to a holiday event. This year it was to Morristown to see the Nutcracker. Their team was thrilled to have so many residents stop by their table at the town treelighting ceremony and tell them all the things they loved about the
library. In addition to holiday celebrations, they also offered an adult clay workshop, knitting classes, family story times, steam story times, music classes for infants and their parents, yoga classes, and much more. New and
exciting programs are coming up in January. So, please take a look at their winter newsletter and their website for details. Municipal Alliance, their next program is the annual footprints for life program. Municipal court, 154 total traffic
tickets were issued in November with 102 from the Township of Washington Police Department and 52 from the state police. The court collected $4,543.86 in revenue to the township. Lastly, town reassessment. I'm reading a
subset of a message I put on the mayor's Facebook page and the town website. There has been an increase of over $1 billion in total property value throughout the town since the last reassessment. The average assessed property value rose to $797,200,
resulting in a corresponding decrease in the tax rate from $2.85.9 85.9 to $1.687 per 100. Assuming all other factors remain inconsistent with the 2025
figures, the average residential pack taxpayer would have seen a decrease of $32.92. It is noteworthy that 56.8% 8% of the residential properties are projected to see a redu reduced value, sorry, a
reduction based on the 2025 budget. This week, a letter will be sent to each property owner notifying them of the newly assessed value of their property. As indicated in that letter, any inquiries regarding the new assessed value should be directed to Appraisal
Systems, Inc. via their website or by phone to arrange a meeting. Township employees and elected officials, including myself, will not be able to assist with matters related to the content of the letter. That completes my report. Thank you, Mike. >> Thank you. Uh my comments are quick. Uh
just want to thank everybody for their support for remaining in this position and uh congratulate Miss Vez, Mr. Sears, and Mr. Kamari on their reappoint. Um I'd like to thank the fire department for everything they do and to the new fire board, congratulations. and
congratulate our new police chief, Mr. Pakora. Um, and just uh happy holidays, happy new year, and let's have a prosperous 2026. Mr. Alman, Council Vice President comments. I know it's uh Sure. Thank
you. Um, I would just like to uh speak to social media and its impact uh and uh the use of it. So I think social
media is an excellent source of information. I think uh it's a great place to uh share good things and bad things. Uh I however I do think uh
people who post anonymously um you know anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. Uh I would like to say that uh Mr. D. Carlo uh is extremely responsive to uh resident
complaints. uh he is accessible via phone and via the website uh under government and township administrator. So if there are issues that you are having with the way the town operates, the way they collect leaves, the way
they plow, uh I would recommend that you reach out to the administrator. uh he is more than responsive, more than willing to listen and I found him more than willing to work with uh the departments and the residents to address their
concerns uh where possible and feasible. Uh so uh the DPW uh you know it's mother nature leaves come down then snow gets on top of it. uh they leaves can't be collected in a day
and the snow can't be plowed curb to curb in an hour. Uh and I think we need to allow them to do their job. Uh which I think they do uh very well. So uh again I think if you have a problem with services provided to the town, uh a
first step would be to reach out to the administrator. Uh you certainly could reach out to the mayor or anyone on the council. uh or attend a meeting and voice your concerns uh because uh just to read about it uh behind an anonymous
name on social media is disheartening uh to say the least. Uh the second thing I'd like to address only because the mayor has brought it up uh is the revaluation. So, uh, we were, uh, on the council were
provided some, uh, data regarding the revaluation. And one thing that sticks out to me is we have one, uh, parcel of farmland that has an assessed value of $2,300.
Um, I believe I know what that property is and I would just like uh the council and the administration uh to explore if there is any uh way that we can uh ensure that everything
that uh is required to have that exemption is being met because $2,300 the tax on that, you know, it's changed from a cup of coffee and it is a large piece of property. Uh and I
>> I know in the past, Mr. Alman, we have asked for the justification and the prior assessor did was able to >> Well, not only did I mean >> No, but I'm think we we should do the same thing like we did in the past. >> The new assessor does also that's on her radar.
>> You know, it I don't think it's only a matter of the fact that uh there is a form that's complete. I mean, if you're running a farm, do you have to have other regulatory, you know, are there regulatory controls that you need to
have in place? Water uh about water, about runoff, about anything that we can to ensure that it is being run as a farm and that the township is not being disadvantaged by them playing uh or
using the rules to their advantage. I think you know we should use every rule and every regulation in our arsenal to leverage uh you know as leverage and ensure that we are getting our fair share. So you know
perhaps there could be a discussion for the next meeting or an offline discussion but I I would like to see that because it's a a tremendous opportunity for us potentially to uh increase revenue. >> That's my report. Thank you. Councel
comments, Miss WZ, >> thank you. Um, so I'll keep it nice and brief. Also, um, I want to thank the residents for their support in providing me with this opportunity to serve a circ term. I also want to thank my running
mates, uh, Mayor Kalamari and Councilman Sears. I wouldn't be here without your support, um, throughout the last four years. So, thank you for everything that you've done for me. I also want to thank my family for being here to support me
and to my daughters for their patience and their love um and understanding of my love for community service even when they would turn around and say you have another meeting. So, thank you. It's it's not easy, you know, mom being gone
a lot. So, it's it's important to be a good example, but at the same times there's definitely sacrifices. Um and to the council, I look forward to continue working with you all uh administrator, the mayor, all the departments um of the
township. We have a fantastic team in Washington Township. So, thank you everyone and God bless you. Happy 2026. >> Thank you, M. Mr. Sears. >> Thank you, councelor. Yes, I want to thank the residents for their support during our election. Uh thank you very
much. And um I would really like to have the council work on the budget, see how much we can reduce and eliminate uh maybe um give some relief to the taxpayers. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of uh
opportunities we can look into to reduce line items. >> Thank you, Council President. >> Mr. Casio. >> Well, I think it's all been said, but um again, I look forward to working with my council members, the administration. Uh I think we have a good group group up
here that we've had in the past, and I think we can um definitely get together and make things a little bit better for our residents. And that concludes my report. >> Thank you.
