Good evening, members of council. Mr. Mayor, um I'm glad I made it in time just to to make a comment or two. Um I have to admit that I was surprised to see this ordinance on the agenda since it relates to trees and the environmental commission of course is
very engaged in the review of applications for development that address trees. Um, I thought we might have known something about it in advance, but we didn't. Uh, and so I what I will say this evening really reflects just my comments. The
environmental commission has not had the opportunity to review this as a group. Um, but I did take a quick look at the ordinance and I see that changes that are proposed are procedural and I think that's great. I mean, the more that we
have procedure that is well documented, outlined, and very specific, that's excellent. And it's really, it's great for us, but it's wonderful for our residents. And I know the new tree ordinance has been somewhat problematic, especially with residential removal of
trees. So, I don't have a complaint. Um, and I think it's it's a good thing. And um my only concern is that uh it has been very helpful for the environmental commission to review applications and
then have them reviewed of course in great detail by the board's professionals. So while we look at some aspects of for example um tree removal, we do not have an arborist or an
environmental engineer to help us out. We're all volunteers. And so while there's a group of applications that would rely on the environmental commission's review but would not have the backup for the first
review on the part of the professionals. Um I hope it doesn't turn out to be too problematic because as I said we're volunteers and we don't have the resources that um the the boards have or the board's professionals. In any event, I want to say that I think
it's great that the procedures are well enumerated and um um I support it and I'm sure the environmental commission would as well. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Vicki. Yeah, Vicki, anytime it names trees uh going forward, I'll make sure the clerk sends you information so you have that because it
was more of a procedural thing. I didn't but but again, I I'll make sure in the future that you definitely get that information. We appreciate your service to the board and all the board members because it really is an important thing. So, we appreciate you. >> Thank you. Anyone else looking to speak? Seeing none, can I get a motion to close to the public? So
>> moved. >> All in favor? Well, I need a second. Second. >> Second. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I >> I >> Can I get a motion to adopt ordinance 0022-2026? >> Motion. >> I heard motion. I We get a second over
there. We got a second as well. Okay. Can I get a roll call, please? >> Uh, yes. >> Harris. Yes. >> Councilwoman Pascalone. >> Yes. >> Council Vice President Brown. >> Yes. >> Council President Deborah Ella. >> Yes.
>> Moving on the resolutions. The following resolutions are recent agenda only. Require vote for all listed. Each one must be read by the title. If any member of the council wish to have one removed and heard separately, they need to indicate prior to reading the titles. Does anyone need anything separately read? I'm seeing none.

He also his mom's an elementary school teacher and and there's just no words in times like this, but there is definitely actions. The Washington Township Police
Department, the Williamstown Police Department, the Washington Township Fire Department, our EMTs, people from all over came to give and just be with the family and and their in their time of real need.

words. But the actions of this community and the communities around us, it's not just Washington Township. They came from all over Gloucester County. There's people there from Camden County. They just came. They didn't know the family. They just wanted to be there in their time of need. So, thank you so much to all do that. Same thing with Jackson.

parents this this past Saturday. Thank you to Martino. They did a beautiful celebration of his life. They butterflies and pennies. I mean, you couldn't help but cry. It was really a beautiful thing. And his parents, you could see that just how thankful they really were. So, I don't think they're residents of Washington Township, but the um celebration of life was here in
Washington Township. So, that was a really a beautiful thing. Also, uh Pastor Kevin Brown, but it was pastor Kevin Brown's birthday this past week and the perfecting church turned 15 years old.
