uh Mr shear uh giving us a safety report good morning mayor governing body so I will give you a synopsis of the report so we have um four meetings that we're required to hold each year um with all department heads or
designate to be in attendance to review all safety concerns that occurred uh occurred within the uh quarterly period the meetings are scheduled on March 5th which already occurred June 18th September 17th and December 10th of this year all 10:00 at the conference room
next door so I will give you a statistic report excuse me from January of 2024 through December 2024 uh and the great news is that we had seven reports now the related
accident reports andor close call reports so you take a look at that over the course of a year that's an astounding number um on December 19th of this year 2024 excuse me of 2024 uh part of this safety incentive program which is a
celebration hosted excuse me at the Wildwood Recreation Center the lunchon is a reward for achieving the maximum allowance of funds from our GIF in the amount of $2,500 which is provided by the risk management insurance for the burough and
recognition for all safe actions for all burough employees so it's a recognition of our efforts and safety reporting timely reporting and uh just being consciously aware so and last point is uh this award has been achieved for at least the last six years that I've been
involved with this so uh commend everyone involved keep up our safe actions and we'll continue to receive these awards in recognition okay thank you thank you any questions anybody good stuff Steve thanks thank you okay uh Madam Clerk we have uh some correspondents that I believe Mr schwarz
asked you to share with everybody would you mind reading that in please yes sir so Mr schwarz sent an email and he wanted me to read this and it reads as follows i want to express my continued support and appreciation for the efforts put forth by the governing body to keep
the Wildwood Crest beaches the way they currently are between the wide beaches and the existing dune system we have ample protection for property and infrastructure accepting government money just because it's being offered is not the right decision when it would be
spent on an illconceived plan i applaud the governing body for employing the engineer to create an informative video demonstration that clearly indicates the detrimental effects this project would have on the Wildwood Crest beaches i
encourage the commissioners to continue with the burrow's opposition to this project because common sense says we are better protected when the ocean is further from property not closer thank you for your time and energy dedicated to this issue thank you Trish and thank
you Mr schwarz all right that brings us to discussion items there's nothing listed uh for consideration under um new business uh with respect to old business uh 250th birthday committee uh still seeking volunteers to serve on a
committee to start planning some events uh for two uh 2026 which is the country's 250th birthday if any interest out there please email our clerk um Wildwood Crest Municipal App we did receive the quote we're just uh haven't had a chance to dive into those details
historical museum is on hold uh concession agreement hotel zone and beach share is also on hold uh traffic calming is on uh is on hold we did at the last meeting pass a resolution to add some addition uh some additional uh pedestrian crosswalks along Ocean and
Atlantic Avenue as well as uh Park Boulevard uh back beach excavation and so just to touch on this real quick uh we had so public works engineering looked at this uh in-house uh unfortunately we're not going to be able
to do that there's just uh way too much sand to move excavate uh with the current equipment uh that we have uh so Mr delasio met with a contractor uh along with public works uh to uh recognize and identify some of the areas
that need some some I'll call it leveling out so we don't have some ponding uh so we're just waiting on that quote uh to be submitted and forwarded to uh our um to our attention uh for for future consideration hopefully before uh summer gets here um dredging anything on
that we have a meeting this week with the subcommittee to see what the next step is uh regarding this long overdue topic so we're we're in the process this week okay Don I have a question about the excavation part real quick yep so
when do we feel like that process is going to start when are we getting involved with it so we're out there right now surveying it we're going to provide a plan that conforms to the burough's D permit once we have a rough plan we're going to give that to a contractor he's going to quote that and
then we're going to bring that before the board okay so when we start identifying the areas that are lower it'd be great buddy's going to be back in next week so we can have him involved the chief of of course the beach patrol involved with those conversations i think that would be good just to give us
a little heads up he knows the beach yeah i believe the quote is going to be based on equipment and manpower for the day yeah you probably could spend a lot of time and money regrading the entire beach so you're you have to pick and choose what you feel is a
public safety issue um hazard ponding and then we would focus on that okay just want to make sure he was involved okay thank you i have a question it's not public comment yet i know but I had something I sent something in for correspondence
it can't happen it's not right now wait your public comment please no it should have been read somebody else read uh an email that was sent in i sent you guys an email and that I asked to be read and it's not on here and I'd like to know why okay ma'am i'm not going to address that here i'm
not going to address it here you have the public comment to speak and I'm happy to allow that for you ma'am I caution you that you're disrupting a public meeting at this point and law enforcement could become involved if you continue disrupt the public meeting okay i was asking why mine wasn't this is not public comment section and the mayor
instructed you of that i was like looking at the correspondence wonder again I again I I caution you for the second time then I'll ask when I get up there okay uh so let's move on to uh New Jersey Avenue infrastructure pre-count so uh there's there was a a conference
uh call or Zoom call with the county's officials um there was also a on that same call was our engineer uh our planner and so forth with respect to the New Jersey Avenue project so just to remind everyone there's two aspects of
this project new Jersey Avenue is is a county roadway so the county is going to be coming in and giving New Jersey Avenue from Cressy down to Ramler uh I'll call it a road diet um and at that time uh is when the burrow will also for
six blocks create this uh new downtown uh but before all that there's the infrastructure work which is the sanitary sewer connections and also the water mains that need to be replaced the funding will be available uh very soon I think in May Francine u and then that
project as far as the infrastructure part of the work is concerned will happen uh just after the summer that's the plan okay washington Avenue CU beach falls in capacity we were just waiting just to hear back from FEMA on the the
uh award of any grant money the the army corps and the DP dune so uh not much has changed with other than that uh we are getting some I'll call it islandwide cooperation where North
Wildwood Wildwood and Wildwood Crest signed a letter asking Congressman Van Drew to intervene to ask the Army Corps and the DP to sit down with all the municipalities to talk through the issues that we all have with respect to
the project so that includes the sand borrowing it also includes the the Dune project uh there's no uh uh hasn't been any uh reporting no no information on that at this point it just happened earlier this week uh I I will say that
uh we uh have asked for meetings individually as municipalities to to be told that basically know uh what the plan that's in front of us is what is what they're looking to do uh we contend that there's options and issues that
need to be identified we're not opposed to the Nawine project and we're certainly not opposed with working with the Army Corps and the D but what the current plan is um significantly harms our beach in terms of its width um and the Dune project uh is something that we
all we're we're the only municipality that has dunes so you know our position is why why demolish a part of our existing dune system to create a new dune when we already have it so perhaps what we currently have can be enhanced to meet the specification of the Army
Corps so that is what we're hoping to do uh but that's uh I'll call it news at 11 nothing more to report at this point okay burough Hall renovations uh so we did receive a quote from from the architect uh we uh believe uh our CFO
identified that May would be the time frame to move forward on the uh on the award of that contract and again that that uh those burough hall renovations are the exterior of this building and also the police side of of this building all right that's all I have uh for old
business governing body anything to add under under old business no thank you no I'm good mayor thanks okay now we have public comments just give us your name and come on up to the podium reminder you have a 5minute maximum time frame lisa Ripo Wildwood Crest 9000 New

read and digest all that we have protocols and departments as as you already are aware of between the county and and the police department it's just I don't have I don't know so I'm not to answer your question when there was an allegation made or we have have have I been directly involved i don't even know

highest regard for our our police department our staff our elected officials our our appointed officials our solicitor you name it so I'm I'm not aware so you the only advice I could give you is follow the protocol and the procedures that you've been asking we tried to do that so we thought that
happened but it didn't that's the problem it was a false plan forget your Mr go ahead feel free i know if I found out who did it I'd probably be in jail right now
but ask him about this here my time's off ask him about this this late bill please go up there and ask someone to explain that trust me we got a late bill about paying our taxes in February that we were delinquent and luckily I had the
receipt in my pocket show that I paid it why was that sent to us as a delinquent uh payment i've sent 18 requests and nobody can explain it to me you do have a 10day grace period to pay that i don't know it's the first time I'm hearing it
give it right now so you do have a 10-day grant to pay your taxes so I don't know when that was to me it's like harassment it was a month and a half after we paid our bill that we got it it was just generated i'm trying to help my husband here
i know but he's you know I get I got one not delinquent but I forget to pay stuff i mean it happens so is it taken care of is it done no comments i'm going to leave i don't know this is insane i'm done this was sent a month and a half

collector while you're here okay anybody else public comment hello uh my name is Jack Von Savage and um I uh represent the seller of uh 2011 West Pittsburgh um ultimately I was speaking with Jason i'm not sure if our
correspondents uh you know got to this but thought this would be on the agenda today or um in the discussion for new business but ultimately um the property is um um block 158 lot one right behind
the uh public pool uh here in the crest and ultimately you know we're looking to basically square off the lot um as of right now it's sort of a um trapezoid like shaped like lot um I guess it was
you know originally there was a street there Bay View Street that was supposed to be put in um and ultimately I guess every other lot was squared off and this was the only one that wasn't and was wondering if there would be a possibility and what the you
know procedure would be to uh potentially have the option to um buy this 1,200 square ft of a you know trapezoid from or triangle to you know square this off um from from the burrow um I'm not sure if this was ever uh
brought here or the So um Mr hesley as you mentioned so he he did give us an a memo internally uh we have not had an opportunity to discuss it formally yet so um we will we can certainly discuss that internally or and or place it on the agenda for for proper consideration
we just to be honest with you we there's so much business that the municipality is looking at dealing with right now so uh there was there we didn't get the sense that there was a time frame or an urgency to this so for a for a decision by the governing body so uh allow us the opportunity to discuss it and then I'm
sure we'll get back to you okay all right that'd be fantastic should I um would it be you know he said that for this originally was the 26th and the 9th but um we'll just wait from just you you can you're more than welcome to email our clerk and she'll let you know when it's going to be formally placed on the
Great thank you very much you're welcome anybody else public comment yes sir thank you Mr mayor just uh this may be out of turn ordinance 1455 i just need your name sir oh pardon me carl Schmooer
thank you certainly uh ordinance 1455 the beach uh will that affect wintertime permit driving for fishing and the like or is this uh on season are you eliminating the the winter time no
permanent no this is basically for vendors that are on the beach and traffic that's on the beach we used to have a uh metal magnet that's stuck to the side of the vehicle and basically you couldn't really see it unless you're right on that vehicle so this is going
to give the police an opportunity to identify vehicles that are supposed to be on the beach compared to unfortunately some that are not this won't have an effect on I forget what when that come October like the fishing permit the usual winter time yes sir
there's no no problem with that great wonderful thank you for the question appreciate it just wanted clarification thank you no worries public comment hello Katherine Hughes Crest um I know thank you for supporting our beaches and our dunes um are we going to stop
cutting down things within the dune system because the cedars get cut down and the pitch pines will that uh cease so we can continue to grow the dune system um I know that the public works does cut down those trees yeah yeah so
uh the DP allows for the trim the the pruning and the trimming back of vegetation in the dunes uh prior to what I call what they what they refer to as the budding season so that's what that's the work that you see going on to keep to keep the dune maintenance uh why
don't we keep it growing so we continue with our maritime forest to just strengthen our whole dune system is there a reason why we cut down the trees not just for hotels well it's so they can get a beautiful view it's a little bit of everything it's it's maintenance
as in when you're walking down to the using the walks to go down down to the path it is uh somewhat for people that are enjoying the bike path um so that they can you know not look at the the height and so forth really just for three months out of the year yeah well
there's also Well I think that I think that obviously the state is okay with it or they wouldn't permit it right so what about us shouldn't we keep it well we've we've been we've trees growing healthier but we've been doing this we've been doing this has been going on for years
so this is the first this is the first but a lot of them are endangered trees that you're actually not allowed to cut down like a red pine okay yeah i'm not curious yeah i'm not familiar with with uh you know where you're referring to and so forth but if if there's if there's certain issues years ago I saw
we watched them cut down pines that were endangered pine trees and then they just kind of drove away from us so they wouldn't encounter a conversation so I was just curious if we were going to keep cutting down things as it stands right now i mean if there's
