We're now 7:00. Requirements of the sunshine law have been met. Uh this meeting was advertised in the Burlington County Times. An electronic notice was given to the NJAC 5 col39-1.5. We will now start with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. We'll now have a moment of silence. >> Roll call. >> Committee woman Dr. Caldwell >> here.
>> Committee woman miss >> present. >> Committee man Mr. Carr >> here. >> Committee woman Miss Mono >> here. >> Mayor Henley >> present. >> Um all members are present. They have a quorum. Also present. Township solicitor the township clerk. Township administrator, deputy uh administrator,
the uh fire EMS chief, uh Ray from public works, and Captain Beiri. All right, let's go. Discussion. Proposed amendments to chapter 99 of the code of Westampton
building construction. Introduce my friend and a friend to you. You all, Mr. Jim Brad. Thank you. Um so in uh the packet, excuse me, for command committee
members, um we have some documents that pertain to this particular discussion that has some changes that uh we are proposing to make to chapter 99. Um many of which are amending fees, either
raising or hovering, changing some um ways that we account fees, capital fees, and then um the introduction for the first time on day mechanical um mechanical portion of of the code. So
um this is at the recommendation of our construction official which is Mike Lman. Mike is here tonight in case there are any questions. Um we have um he put together
a brief explanation of the changes that are proposed in the in the draft ordinance and then also we put together um showing the strikethroughs and and changes that are proposing in the actual
um order stop. So uh again those who have probably heard about Mike Mike is a very experienced construction official has decades of experience. we were fortunate enough to um have the opportunity to bring him on
to work. I think you know by now that he has done a phenomenal job um has turned the office basically uh Wayne I mean it's just a completely different office now um everything from organization to
interaction with our customers to um you know proper fee uh schedule proper fee determining uh we've had the opportunity to also bring in uh a new technical assistant to the construction official the two of them are very well managed.
So, I just want to take the opportunity to kind of give Mike some that some of the credit sort of deserves. Um, but that's one of our requirements. A year ago, we were, you know, we're quite sure how things are going and now we're extremely happy,
you know, deserves all credit. So, I'm not sure if you have had the opportunity to review the materials that we presented. If there's any questions that anyone has, um Mike could give a quick overview on it if you if that's helpful. Um maybe some of the rational as to why
we're doing this, what we're doing now, um and be a little bit about what special mechanical that might be able give us the opportunity to open up to do a little bit about the type of work as well. So is that something that you would want to hear or other questions
direct questions? I don't have anything else anything after you I would uh Mr. Leman is it prohibitive to in previous fee amendments we've done in the past we've
worked in a discount for our veteran homeowners would it be prohibitive to work something like that in for these construction fees >> certainly something that's admissible um according to PCO standard
you know instruction and you guys really appreciate that. >> Um, we all know you've done a great job this past year doing that 180 and turning uh turning it up almost 80%. >> I got to say something.
>> I have to stop talking now, but you did a great job. >> Still I was let you go first. >> We're proud. We're I'm proud that you're here and you've done so well. So, thank you so much, sir. Mike, can I ask you a question or two? >> Yes, sir.
>> Aside from the chapter 99, because you're not really here a lot of times. That's not a thing, but you know what I mean, but so you don't get to hear like some of the things we say. So, just want to put on the record some of your comments. Like, we did have to get a new technical assistant, right? And you train a technical assistant.
>> How they how are they doing since you trained them? >> Fantastic. Honestly, I, you know, in the other towns I've worked in, towns I do work in as well, my TAS are always solid, always good, but I can't say I've had any
experience with anybody picking it up so quickly. And Sherman Stevens, >> we can't know names. We can't do names. >> We didn't we didn't open it. is doing a phenomenal job with not just how much you pick up the software and
the technical portion of it and understanding how things should be priced, what things we're looking for with additional information, but she's been outstanding above and beyond with how she dealt with the public and public relations. And that's just, you know, I'm I'm a firm believer that even though
it's a necessary evil or whatever you want to call it, it it's still a public service that we're providing. People are paying for the service and it should be treated as subs should be treated as customers as well as residents and she's done a phenomenal job. >> I got one other question for you. First,
I got to talk to uh Miss White. Has she has this person been so phenomenal that now she works at East Hampton as well? >> She does. She does the same thing for us that she handles for Michael over here. And um I
can attest and say that my residents are extremely happy with the customer service that she provides. She goes above and beyond. She's detailed. She loves to read things and reading is the very best part of
that job because you have to read all of the documents. So she's great. >> Thank you. Last question for you. Since you've taken over approximately, right, and I just want I'm asking you things to put on the record. Approximately, how much how many how much in fees have you
regained for the township that our residents want to make sure that we're getting everything, but we don't we don't really want to cost residents. Like, these are outside fees from from vendors that weren't collected. How much did you collect since you've been here
approximately? Well, I can give you the numbers as you know I gave the reports for the year where our numbers were without wage fees were approximately 1.2 million. Um the previous
set people that were here before me I'll just say the way that things were being priced things not being in line or being done correctly would have resulted in half of that. So I I can't give you the exact numbers without having to go back and go through >> 1.2 2 million feels good.
>> Feels good. >> I think you're pretty aware, you know, how things work out and we've wred that ship. Uh we fix how we deal with the residents and contractors alike, you
know, um holding them to accountability is another big portion because that also protects our residents, which is something that we're very interested in as well. >> Thank you, Mike. Appreciate your help. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.

Um couple of comments uh regarding um does anyone know like do we have a memo on file from the USPS where regards to accessing the cluster boxes in the neighborhoods for delivery of mail. The reason why this has come up is because um in my development in Rolling Hills
East, apparently the uh postal service has not been delivering mail to the cluster boxes. When residents uh did um contact the uh mail delivery or the carrier, uh the response was, well, it's not safe for them to access the cluster box, deliver the mail, and therefore
they had to go to I think it used to be Mount Holly, but now it's Mount Royal where you have to pick up your mail. In any event, some of us citizens are trying to dig that out, but I tell you, it's bad, right? I mean, it's it's pyramid-shaped size snow out there and the ice is really compacted. So, I don't
know what the uh regulations are from USPS, like when they will simply just not access the cluster box. Like, can we get away with a 12-in pathway to dig it out for them, or what do we have to do? Uh, and then number two, if if if public works can help out a little bit, um,
that'll just put a lot of people at ease knowing that they'll be able to get to their mail for medicine and things like that. So, just wanted to bring that up to your attention. Um, the second thing is, um, I didn't know that this was an issue, but apparently New Jersey, Governor Murphy, I guess before he left
office, he signed into law about the ebike registration. Do you guys familiar with this? >> Yeah. >> Is this a big thing? Yeah, you got to have license and insurance and registration and apparently it's going to be, you know, rigorously enforced. I don't know what's the police department plan on that. Is there going to be an
educational campaign before it really kicks in in the summertime? So maybe they can share that uh with us. Just bringing that up was something I wasn't really aware of. Um and then uh it's interesting to hear
from the construction official. Uh sounds like that good work is going on there. Uh, one issue though that um I did actually correspond with Sherrod about was, you know, when I come across violations of the New Jersey Home Improvement Contractors Act, I did share
with Sherrod what I believe to be evidence of such a violation of the act and as we know that is a penalty or violation or fourthderee felony. So that becomes criminal and it should be investigated. So, I don't know how much the construction official gets involved in
sort of like ascertaining that in helping or assisting the police department, but um I'm no expert in the law, but I can read the law. I see it and I see violations almost routinely. I don't write the law. The legislature
did. It is the law in the state. So, maybe we can have um you know, a little more uh enforcement on that. That's just the suggestion I have for you. >> Thank you. >> And then last is this Colorado case. I don't know if Bob, did you see this back
on December 22nd, 2025? People v. Michelle. The site is 225 CO64. So, this was interesting. this I know it's Colorado but what happened there was that some municipalities tried to um uh they passed ordinances where they had
a punitive element that actually was greater than the state statute that was corresponding. So in other words they had um a punishment element that was far exceeding what the state would impose if you were found guilty.
And so naturally somebody litigated that and eventually what happened there was that the Colorado Supreme Court they struck that down. They said the municipalities cannot impose laws that are greater than what the state would impose. So now every jurisdiction in Colorado was scrambling to rewrite their
ordinances to make sure it's in, you know, compliance with that Supreme Court decision. I'm not saying that's happening here in New Jersey, but I know that Kim says she's working on a project to redo all the ordinances, right? So maybe this could be a nice project in the summertime for an intern or a law
clerk at your firm to kind of scrub through our ordinances just to see what would be potentially in conflict. We may never have to amend it cuz it may never come up as an issue here, but I could see somebody litigating that, you know. So thanks guys. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> You almost got closed out on Mr. Pikes. I tried to watch the finish of evening news and >> that almost cost you. That almost cost you. Let's go. >> Sometimes they put public comment at the end and you're there till 10:00, but thank you for being so quick. >> I'm here to ask a favor. I'm Kent Pipes
from 35 Mount Laurel Road in Hannesport. I run a business that's based in Mount in Hannesport. I'm sorry, West Hampton, 1841 Burnington Mount Alley Road. It's a social service agency. It's a housing development company. It's a real estate brokerage. Um, and a combination of
other things. Um, we were participating for the last two years in a New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency program called the foreclosure intervention program, which used federal money to provide funding for nonprofit groups like ours
who had a demonstrated history of buying, renovating, and selling properties in the open market. You couldn't just go in and participate if you were an everyday common social service or nonprofit. You had to have a track record. And we were approved right
away. We've done nine properties so far. Um and un unbeknownst to us, we bought a foreclosure in Spring uh Spring Meadows at the 43 Sharpest Drive. When you buy a foreclosed property,
you're supposed to go through the same procedures that everybody else does. Any deed restricted property must be gone through the housing and mortgage finance agency uh in order to qualify the buyer and or the tenant if it's a rental property.
The bank did not do that. We renovated the property and after 6 months of marketing found a qualified buyer who earns about $150 $15,000. And when the title work came in, we found a deed restriction that limited it
to affordable housing until July 5th, 2026. We were supposed to close a week from tomorrow on the 13th. Title company advised him that he would not have clear title when we passed the
deed. His mother is an attorney. She given me two letters now asking to cancel the contract. Um, I've asked a number of people if the township had the authority to lift the restriction because the law gives you the ability to
bind it for another 30 years before it expires. So, I think it's a reasonable request to ask you in within 5 months of it expiring anyway to do what you can to lift the restrictions so we can sell it
with a with a clear title. Um, no attorney has given me an absolute yes or an absolute no. But if you can salvage this deal, I have a buyer who's ready, willing, and able, and by the end of this week, I probably will lose the deal and have to market it
again and then hold it vacant for another four month, five months. That's the letter of the law. But it's stupid to bind the property for 5 months when it's going to expire anyway. We'll hold it. What good does that do?
Doesn't serve anybody's purpose. But the law is the law unless there's a little phrase in the law that says under certain conditions. And I'm hopeful that your attorney can advise you whether those conditions would apply to your willingness to be able to lift that
restriction. But in the end, if they can't, I'm simply asking you not to put a deed restriction on it for another 30 years because I have federal money involved now and I'm in a bind and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency expects me to sell it to a
qualified buyer who will be a homeowner and the taxes will be increased because it will not be a affordable unit anymore. And as you know, I'm developing affordable housing in your town like every other town. so I will be able to replace it and going forward you won't
lose one of your credits. Um so it's one of these mix match deals that the state did in its wisdom 35 years ago passing the affordable housing law but sometimes the the good intent goes
ary when the markets change. It's hard. It's hard to do business in today's world. And this foreclosure intervention program is a wonderful program. And if you can do anything to help me, I'd appreciate it. You have any questions?
Does your buyer sign some kind of agreement that they have to live there at this property for a certain amount of time to be part of your program? >> No. After the purchase of the property, there are no restrictions at all from the HMFA.
It's not deed restricted in any way. Um the only restriction is is there from 1990 for 30 200 1996 I guess from two for 30 years. >> Are the other homes in that area affordable house affordable housing homes? There are a lot of infill
affordable units in that development, but since the seller did not disclose that it was a deed restricted property, they broke the law, >> but I inherited it. Okay. Um, and I'm bound by not being able to sell it
without violating the law as well, unless I comply with the restrictions. So, when the seller when the seller sold you the property, right, was a title done on the property then when it was sold. I've been in this business for 30 years.
the last line of the title report, but it shouldn't ever have been put up for sale because the seller, the the bank that foreclosed had to go through the same law of notifying the HMFA and being approved in terms of putting the property for sale and having the buyer
approved by the HMFA housing affordability strat service as well. It's a complicated business, but I don't want to spend money suing them. It's only 5 months and the cost of owning it for 5 months is is probably
less than the attorney's fees. So, I got to sit there and hold it, but I'd rather see the homeowner in it and taking care of it and participating in the community as a as a new middle income buyer. He's not a low-income tenant or or or buyer.
He's a he's a working man with a with a a good income. Um, and he'd love to be able to take title, but I'm stuck. >> Question. >> If you can help me, I'd appreciate it. >> This is a solution guy. You know, we sat on the panel together. So, >> if you have you have affordable housing
units in West Hampton, right? If I do agree. >> Well, you currently have affordable housing units in West Hampton. I do already have affordable housing West Hampton. We own like five properties and we have five units above our office building. So, you have maybe 10 units of affordable housing that we've helped you
um in your state obligation. >> Do do those properties has one that can move in or can you rent it as an affordable like you're doing one of the other things like to to bridge it. You know what I'm saying? I'm just looking for a solution. Fortunately, the HMFA funding does not allow me to rent it.
>> It's a homeowner program. >> So, sometimes a good deed goes un goes punished anyway. You know, no good deed goes unpunished. They said, >> "Well, some good deeds go unpunished, but not all of them." >> You said you're getting elected wasn't
punishment, and that was a good deed. So, >> you said you're you're getting elected was a good deed, so that didn't go unpunished. >> Oh, it's been punished. >> I don't know how to say that. You know, >> it has been punished. Punishment has been served, but All right. >> All right. So, if your attorney can help
you out, I have a time limit. I'd like to see action soon, but if you just give me a pledge that you wouldn't put another 30 years restriction on it, I would be thrilled if I can't work the other problems out. >> Fair enough. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> I remember you live next door to uh >> Yes. Harper. >> Yeah. >> So, I told you guys I came I came in January. I didn't realize you guys moved it up to 6:00. So, I quotes uh for, you know, >> as reorder >> for the leaf truck, not leaf truck.
There's one for leaf truck, but the claw truck to pick the brush up. That way, we can maybe see about getting rid of the trailers, one of the machines to, you know, make it safer. You only need one guy. >> Excuse me for interrupting, but can you state your name and >> Flip Allison
>> and address? >> Uh, 680 Woodland Road. >> Thank you, sir. And uh so the main thing was about the claw truck, you know, uh that way even in December, November when we're picking the leaves up, it would take one day to have a guy go out and
pick the brush up. Maybe a couple days instead of, you know, having nobody out there picking the brush up uh during those months. I know it's league season. Um but the thing was I got the quotes. Uh, you know, I I didn't realize uh
ladder and of course they left. You know, we we just spent over $2 million for a ladder truck. We we just picked up one that we had referred for $800,000. I didn't realize they were up that high. You know, this call truck only cost $220,000. Still a lot of money, but I'm
sure this would save the township a lot of headaches, you know, and people from uh calling up complaining their stuff's not getting picked up or amount of time. So, I just wanted to leave this with you guys, I guess out there. >> All right.
>> Appreciate it. Thank you, Mr. Alison. >> And you guys did find a new uh I guess supervisor. >> Have a good evening. >> You as well, sir. >> With no other questions, we uh move to close public comment. All in favor? Hi.
>> Hi. >> Dates to remember. Next house committee meeting is February 17th at 7 p.m. Land development board meeting is February 4th at 7 p.m. Historic commission is February 25th at 7:00 p.m. Recreation Committee meeting is February 11th at
7:00 p.m. Township and Chase uh money skills hosting small business 101 workshop at the municipal building West Hampton February 11th 6:30 to 7:30. Committee liaison reports
and comments. >> Good evening, West Hampton Township. I just have a couple of um liaison reports for this evening. Um the first I just start with a update or point of clarification from the last meeting. Mayor had asked me if the um senior
bingo events for April and um October are open to all or just West Hampton residents. So, I did do a little bit of research and it is a West Hampton Township resident exclusive which will be advertised on the flyer the same as it customarily has been done in the
past. So, just wanted to clarify that. And um the tenative dates are April 25th and October 3rd. If everyone wants to see the date, I think it'll be a nice event for our seniors. um school boards um update. Just a reminder that at the next meeting on
February 17th at 7:00, we will have our Black History Month essay contest for our middle school students. Uh we'll be recognizing three of them. So, please come out, listen to them, read their essays. Um also with the support of their families and their principal. And
again, that's u February 17th, our next meeting at 7:00. Um, I also just wanted to say that I was really glad to see all of the shared services agreements get approved tonight on um, our agenda. I think that in this economy, it's important for our local governments to
help each other out, stick together, um, also to reduce costs without sacrificing services. That's all my comments. Thank you. >> I don't have any comments for tonight. Uh good evening and thank you all for uh
your attendance. Um and thank each and everyone who serves the residents of this great town. Um it is so important that we continue to work in the interest of making sure that Westampton is uh a
desired west a destination for Burlington County. Um I'd like to acknowledge Black History Month and Dr. Paul well and committee. I'm looking forward to the essays uh our next meeting. I just want to highlight the
fact that I did attend the January 28th uh board of commissioners, county of Burlington meeting, uh the last meeting that they held. There was a lot of uh great information during that particular meeting um and some really good uh
resolutions that will benefit uh us in this particular uh town. Okay. The recreation committee continues to do a marvelous job. When you look at the indoor soccer, uh still going strong, uh volleyball, uh basketball,
um a number of events that we're doing and um kudos to that particular committee. Uh as far as the Timbuktu advisory committee, um we're planning some really good things coming up for this year. So stay on the lookout for that. And uh I attended the Mount Holly
Fire and Ice this past Saturday. It was cold. Um this is the first year I attended in a long time where the statues did not melt. Um some of them are probably still there. Um great event. Um saw a lot of
West Hampton Township individuals participating. Um so that was wonderful. Um, thank you all for your attendance and uh looking forward to good month. >> Thank you. Um,
>> I did see some posts on Facebook today about USPS not delivering to uh >> Roland Hills. Um, if public works could look into that, that'd be awesome. They can lend a hand on clearing out the the
>> two crews right now. >> Oh, wow. >> Tomorrow, you know, and clean up the road a little bit. Thanks for being on top of it. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. >> Thank you >> so much. >> Um
I guess I need to get go back to school with Mr. Lunaman. I guess I'm a little The only crime I'm aware of as far as the construction HIC act was not getting a contract signed, >> but it's more than that. >> It's more than that.
>> Okay. But I'm guessing that's referred by you or by the homeowner. >> Well, it depends. Okay. Contracts between the homeowner and the contractor. That's matter involved in that. However, there are certain things that are violations
and certain criminal. >> Understood. Well, I know with you at the helm that's not going to just go away anyway. So, thank you though. And then I'm not against uh Mr. Pipe's proposition.
However, I'm I'm aware of quite a mountain to hurdle when it comes to getting rid of a covenant on a property. But we'll talk to Bob about it. Um but that shows you my position on extending it for 30 more years. So that's all I have. Thank you for coming
everybody. >> Thank you for coming out. I appreciate uh all our department heads and feedback we know we've gotten from everyone. Um you know we have an engagement here of uh of good employment what I would say.
Um that's a that's a nice little little turnaround. It was a little bit of a bridge from people you know retiring to being at this point. And sometimes the people don't always the people who are here don't always get a fair shake. They've earned their fair shake, right, by
outworking people or working hard. And you know, I'll give an example. Lisha Hodes is here. She sits in the front. This isn't the first meeting she's been at. So, I would challenge anyone from the past to say when they talk about what work gets done here now versus work
was done in the past. How many times have they been seen at meetings when they don't have to be? Right. So, I think that gives anybody, if you have any questions, a little bit of a detail of how dedicated the people are who work here right now to helping the residents
and learning a little bit more about what you're looking at. Learn a little made me nervous. Learning a little bit more about um learning a little bit more about our municipality, our town, how's it work, and how to forward themselves with us. So, with that being said, we
have a motion. Oh, wait. Wait a minute. Executive session resolution number 40-26. Resolution authorizing the council committee and support staff to meet in private session and authorizing an exclusion of the public from that portion of the meeting dealing with specific issues requiring non-public
discussion attorney client privilege litigation. Do you have a motion? >> Motion. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Roll call. >> Dr. Paulo. >> Yes. >> Mr. Maddox. >> Yes. >> Mr. Carr. >> Yes. >> Mr. Congo. >> Yes. >> Mayor Henley. >> Yes. >> Yes. Motion passes.
>> Have a good night everyone. >> Night. Oh, quiet guy.
