67
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:37.520
the evening. Mr. Delasio. >> Okay. So, several uh items here to update the commissioners on capital projects. The first one I'll start with the dayside bulkhead replacement project. Essentially, that project is complete uh with the exception of some

68
00:23:37.520 --> 00:23:54.000
punch list items. Um we went out and monitored the effectiveness of the improvements relative to last week's I guess title surge. And I'll have Steve correct me if I'm wrong here, but I can tell you that when we had a high tide, we went out and we

69
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:09.280
observed that a there was no flooding coming through the bulkheads. So the new bulkheads that were constructed and the raising of the streets definitely had an impact adjacent to the bulkheads. The closure of the valves helped the

70
00:24:09.280 --> 00:24:25.600
burrow with the exception of three areas which was Sweet Brier and one block north and south. However, as we learned as we investigated that when the tide went down, there was still water pocketing in

71
00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:42.480
that area until we had the valves opened and that's when the light bulb went off that the flooding that we were experiencing had nothing to do with the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the valves. It was the contractor who was dewatering on New Jersey Avenue into the storm system. Basically, the valves were

72
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:57.919
closed and water couldn't get out to the bay and therefore it was bubbling up in the street making it look like we had title flooding, but we didn't. So, I would say, and correct me if I'm wrong, Steve, I think the project has been very successful. We're going to continue to

73
00:24:57.919 --> 00:25:14.799
monitor that. So if we didn't have the contractor dewatering into those pipes, we probably wouldn't have seen any water on that high tide. >> I I can tell you I was up Park Boulevard a lot watching with curiosity and it was bone dry with high tide. So the normally

74
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:30.320
you would we would have seen water in the street ends and coming out of the uh the uh the inlets didn't have any of that. So, and even Lake Road, which is the probably the most floodprone area in that area, was bone dry.

75
00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:46.240
>> So, um anyway, so it was I think I think good, but I know it's it's fluent and we'll keep adjusting it. And I know I was actually with public works last week to see the >> the technology that >> they use to to to count the number of cranks that they tanks to close it and

76
00:25:46.240 --> 00:26:02.000
whether it's open and it's closed is pretty pretty interesting. So what so what was interesting was it it wasn't making sense to us why I think when the light bulb went off we went out there and the tide was down yet there was still water in the street and it just it didn't make sense. So we thought maybe

77
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:18.240
somehow someway the tide got up and breached the bulkhead and came into the street and it couldn't drain. But when we opened up that valve that water that drained the streets like in minutes. It was pretty interesting to see a gush of water like that come out. So in addition to the street end looking aesthetically

78
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:33.440
better, they're functionally better from a flood mitigation standpoint. So that's uh that project. So we're in project closeout and punch list for that. The reconstruction of Bay View Drive, which is the non eyebank portion of Bayiew

79
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:49.520
Drive. We have all the concrete work completed and roadway reconstruction is scheduled for after Memorial Day and should be completed by next Friday bearing any unforeseen weather issues. The Crest Fishing Pure Reconstruction is still in design. We're working with

80
00:26:49.520 --> 00:27:06.320
Francine on a material procurement contract for lumber. So to be continued on that. your New Jersey Ibank project, which essentially is uh one, two, three, four, five streets that are in construction. The good news is the contractor is currently out there

81
00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:22.559
paving, and he's probably going to be paving till about 7:00 tonight. We're going to have Stockton fully paved. Both Topeka and Preston will have base pavement and there will only be two streets left uh that will not have any pavement heading into Memorial Day

82
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:39.840
weekend and that is Pittsburgh and um excuse me it's Topeka and Preston will be base paved and Pittsburgh and Bay View will not be paved at all heading into the weekend. New Jersey Avenue sanitary sewer water main improvement projects we have

83
00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:55.200
ongoing work out there. We've we're making sure that those roads are going to be passable, safe, and enjoyable through the holiday weekend. The contractor essentially will be completing that project in the middle of June of this year and be gone forever

84
00:27:55.200 --> 00:28:11.039
relative to water sewer improvements. The fiscal year 24 NJDCA small cities program for Crest Pier bathroom improvements, that contract was awarded tonight, so we'll move that into construction. Centennial Park improvements. We have all of the work completed out there with the exception

85
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:26.880
of the installation of ballers and punch list items. Uh we're pleased that they got done ahead of this weekend as well. And I took a look at the work out there. Seems to be pretty good and looks looks good. And uh lastly,

86
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:44.399
we are working on the uh DOT fiscal year 25 Stockton Road. We have cleared DOT's approval to go out to bid. So, we will be publicly bidding that sometime in June and that'll be a fall construction project for you. That is my report.

87
00:28:44.399 --> 00:29:00.000
>> Okay. Uh there anybody any questions for Mr. Delasio? >> Good stuff, Mark? No, I'm fine. Thank you. >> Lots of uh work going on. So, couple quick comments on the uh on the streets that aren't getting paved. Uh we do have the schedule here so uh everybody

88
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:16.880
received an internal copy but for purposes of the public um everything basically starting next uh once we get through Memorial Day weekend then the contractors hopefully the weather will will permit them to finish up the paving. So it'll be next week that you'll see the rest of the paving uh

89
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:34.000
finishing up. Uh the New Jersey Avenue project just to remind everyone that project they still have a couple more blocks to go. that will go definitely go into the third week in June. They're on the northern end of the crash right around uh Aster Road and they're working their way to to Cressy Avenue. So, um

90
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:49.679
Mark, your office put together this federal report which has been very useful uh internally. So, good job, Andrew did a nice job. >> Yeah, and I just think in summary, we would have liked to have had those last two streets base paved, but I think given the fact that we lost like a month

91
00:29:49.679 --> 00:30:04.880
and a half with snow and freezing weather just really didn't help. So, we're falling a little short. >> Yeah. And the contractors and they they've been responsive. So, when the complaints or the con the questions come in from the public, everybody's been responded to uh within a very fast

92
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:21.200
period of time. So, that's much appreciated. Okay. Um that's it for the uh for the engineers report. Mr. Bosi, do you have to somewhere you need to go? You're you're welcome. >> I may >> leave. If not, we'll move on to the uh >> You need me to go with you? uh our min

93
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:37.360
uh interim administrators report. Traine, what do you got for us? >> Nothing. >> Nothing to report today, sir. >> Nothing to report. Any correspondence there, madam clerk? Nothing on negative. >> All right. Public comment uh before we uh uh head into our general public

94
00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:52.880
comment sessions unrelated to ordinance adoption. I want to read an excerpt from the open public meetings act and that requires that every portion of every meeting of a municipal governing body be set aside for public comment on any issue that a member of the public feels may be of concern to the residents of

95
00:30:52.880 --> 00:31:08.880
the municipality to ensure an orderly and efficient meeting and to provide everyone an opportunity to be heard. Here are the guidelines when recognized. Please come to the lect turn and clearly state your name for the record. All comments and questions should be addressed to the governing body as a

96
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:25.360

97
00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:41.919
make their comments. Personal attacks, obscenity, derogatory or slanderous remarks, and disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Please do not mention our employees or professionals by name. Respon uh the governing body is not required to respond to questions during

98
00:31:41.919 --> 00:31:56.799

99
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:11.760

The chair reserves the right to interrupt or terminate a speaker's privilege if the quorum is violated or if comments become disruptive or exceed the time limit. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and ensuring a respectful

100
00:32:11.760 --> 00:32:30.559
and productive dialogue. I now open the floor for public comment. Anyone? We'll start with anybody here in the audience. Public comment. All right, we'll go to the conference line. Do we have another round of public comments if anyone has anything? Anyone

101
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:48.880
in the conference line for a first round of public comments? Okay. No public comments on the first round. We'll go to discussion. There's nothing listed under new business. Uh under the uh old business, we have the historical museum. Uh that is um uh on

102
00:32:48.880 --> 00:33:05.120
hold. And the reason just just to make sure everyone understand. to the the the there are items the Christmas decorations and other lighting decorations are being stored on the southern end of the rescue building. Um there's still the the uh the demolishing

103
00:33:05.120 --> 00:33:20.320
of the 2011 West Pittsburgh property. There'll be a a container there at some point uh this year, probably towards the end of this year and at the after summer for sure where those items from there could be relocated in there. Then after the summer and all the busyiness goes through, we can go in and and and look

104
00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:37.200
at the work that needs to be done in the uh in in the south side of the rescue building. So uh that is uh the status of that uh traffic calming at the last minute. Uh we authorized going out to bid uh for the New Jersey I Bank second

105
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:52.960
phase and phase one of Park Boulevard, which again that is Cressy to Sweep Ryer. So that project is uh we're just waiting to get the uh the bid uh spec uh I mean sorry the bids to come in and then uh hopefully we'll be able to award I believe that's still tracking mark

106
00:33:52.960 --> 00:34:08.079
correct me if I'm wrong some point later this year for that project to start. >> So that so that project we have to have a open award before the end of June of this year to take the $3 million grant. So that is tracking for that time frame

107
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:24.320
and you would have construction start in the fall for that. >> Okay. So, all right. So, that's good. So, for purposes of traffic calming, Trish, I'm I'm thinking that we could probably take this off the agenda. >> All right. Um,

108
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:40.639
back beach excavation. Uh, nothing on that yet. Uh, we're still working through, uh, which is a little bit further down there under old business, the Army Corps and the D. last discussions with them is that uh if and when they do the project the back beaches would be part would be uh

109
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:57.440
excavated uh when that project gets done. So uh more to come on that anything >> I I believe next week we're we're due to meet with um engineer to discuss the next steps on the direction of where we're going. So Francine um and I were

110
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:11.760
discussing that right before Enron. So that's the next step with that. >> Okay. uh Washington CV beach south falls in capacity. I know we're getting closer to the announcement on the uh the FEMA grants which again is it looking like it's it's positive and that would be for

111
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:26.800
a potential um pump uh pumps pump for uh pump station over on the on the west side. So more to come on that uh Army Cory NJD dune. So just to just to bring everybody up to speed with where we are

112
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:44.560
on that. Uh Wildwood has approved um uh a dune to and also the uh some sand back passing with uh in borrow area A similar to Wildwood Crest that basically where they would take the sand would be in the water uh in the water of both Wildwood

113
00:35:44.560 --> 00:36:01.119
and and Wildwood Crest. um they want to, you know, clo the gaps that go down in through the dunes is to give us a a slope that takes you down takes you down over top of the dune and then put you down onto the onto the uh the bathing beach. So, um there's still some things

114
00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:17.200
that we're trying to work out. Uh in the original uh in the original plan there was in our state aid agreement there was some discussion and understanding that they would uh explore what's called a lur credit which is money that would you

115
00:36:17.200 --> 00:36:33.280
know come back towards to to the burrow uh as it affects our fishing pier. Um so we've they they took this they took a stance that you know hey it's that project is not eligible. So, um, we asked them to, you know, continue to

116
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:49.359
think about the lurk credit, but also come up with some more creative thinking as to how they could help potentially fund, uh, fund, um, the the part of the fishing pier project because we do have to raise it so the sand doesn't eventually, uh, come back over it. It's

117
00:36:49.359 --> 00:37:05.599
already, um, a maintenance nightmare for for public works. In addition to that, I had I had proposed and and asked them to consider because when if they if and when they do take sand uh from the front part in the water side of our beaches, you're going to see our alpha lines get

118
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:21.520
exposed, which means that is the perfect opportunity to extend the alpha lines further into the water. So I did ask them to consider absent of the lur credit or any financial uh creative financial help to maybe they would they

119
00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:38.240
would help they would pay for and as part of the project extend our alpha lines. I don't know if that's going to possibility but certainly threw that out there and asked them to consider that. They didn't they didn't say hard no. So we'll we'll have more information on that uh hopefully within the next week or two.

120
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:54.560
um burough hall renovations. We're just uh getting through uh Memorial Day weekend and I'm sure we'll get back once we get caught up with all the busy all the busyiness. We'll we'll be diving into uh reviewing those uh the drawings that uh um Jerry uh what's his last

121
00:37:54.560 --> 00:38:11.680
name? Jerry Blackman uh came up with. All right. Anything on the digital paper? >> I think we're going to hold off until after the summer to revisit that one. So, >> all right. just money purposes. >> All right, so we're going to move on to our last round of public comments, then

122
00:38:11.680 --> 00:38:33.839
we'll go into any commissioner comments and then we're ready to rock and roll for a close session. We'll go with anyone public comments. Come on up to the lect turn. Okay, >> thanks Mark. >> Marie Nickerson really have like three little comments. First of all, I was

123
00:38:33.839 --> 00:38:49.280
down the beach this morning. My god, are we lucky. We are blessed. That is such a beautiful beach, and I thank Northwood for contributing. I feel bad, but we can't give up any of that. It's just it's just too beautiful. Another thing,

124
00:38:49.280 --> 00:39:04.880
I was at the arts pavilion last week for a lunchon and to help everybody who helps try and helps us old people. That is another gem that arts and I loved it as a library but believe me turning it

125
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:20.480
take thank god it wasn't a parking lot. It is a gem that we use and I'm so grateful we use it. We only need one thing in there. Crest beach tails. >> Oh, >> I bought the whole lot and we have not

126
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:40.000
replenished it yet. I keep going back to see if we've replenished and we have not gotten any yet. That's a good seller. >> Uh the next thing um um it's just uh one little thing when we we

127
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:56.240
were going to talk about the center of town. I just want to say can we have a little fountain? Nothing big. Just a little fountain and maybe people will throw money in it and we'll make money. >> There you go. So uh so I'm glad you brought that up, Marie. So June 3rd in

128
00:39:56.240 --> 00:40:11.359
this room, we'll have our uh public presentation >> to talk through the the look, the feel, some of the details. The county reps will be here, our planners will be here to kind of talk everybody through it >> and and that would be a perfect time to

129
00:40:11.359 --> 00:40:27.839
to we have it on the record now to to to certainly make that request. That is absolutely something that's possible. There's going to be plenty of electric and water connections and so forth there. So, >> uh we're looking to create something special there for sure. >> Okay. All right. Great. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you.

130
00:40:27.839 --> 00:40:46.400

133
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:35.839
you know, with all the all the amenities that folks are going to use. Unfortunately, the weather forecast uh isn't looking in our favor. So, it's I hate to look at it as you're going through all this work and then it's going to rain, but at least it's prepared and we'll be ready to go as soon as soon as the sun comes out. Um Steve and and the men and women at the

134
00:41:35.839 --> 00:41:51.760

It it it was the picture of you want to build a broch make a brochure that's today's the day to take the picture for sure. Um and the last

135
00:41:51.760 --> 00:42:07.280
thing I have is uh with respect to the uh number 17 resolution. So uh Brian I told we have the month of August as veterans and military appreciation month. Um, that would be something that I think the burrow would should be, you know, if there's some, you know, I know

136
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:23.760
we're celebrating our 250th, but there are some additional things that we may be able to do to recognize our veterans and military. Uh, that would be something I think that we could start planning for, you know, maybe in June for in time for uh, August. Um, Mike Marino is our veterans chairperson, so

137
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:40.640
he may be somebody that we want to uh, engage as well. >> I'll send the resolution. >> All right. Um, that's all I have. Solicitor Galzeras, you have anything for for the for making sure you're >> legal affairs of the bar are in good order. >> That's good. Good to hear.

138
