Uh I know we did that last month, but it it definitely was a huge thing uh getting that done and getting it accomplished and uh getting everything that needed to be in there to
make sure that we are prepared and have a plan. And thank you um uh I already corrected that. And we'll be uh performing assessments, working with PD with the drones and whatnot. uh

there's anybody on there. Perfect. Okay, brings us to our engineers report. Okay, thank you. A couple of uh capital improvement project updates. The first one is the Bayside bulkhead replacement project. We have the street ends in various conditions at this point. Some
are waiting for base paving, some have concrete ongoing. Uh the bottom line is that that project will have all the base paving and concrete completed with a demobilization by June 13th. Um essentially everything will be cleaned up and gone by June 13th and then they
will remobilize in the fall. The reconstruction of Toledo Avenue was uh finished paved and I believe we had striping completed today. So essentially that project is substantially complete short of some project closeout and punch list items.
So that got completed on time. The similarly the 2025 road resurfacing program seemed like it was done in three hours. Um South State came in and essentially knocked the job out. So that's completed as well. We have some uh final striping and cleanup for that
project as well and that is complete. the large project um the New Jersey IBank Sanitary Sewer and Road Improvement Project which essentially is your typical we call your typical road program where we're replacing sewer reconstructing the roadways. That
project miraculously is out to bid. Um, our bid opening for that project is June 24th and on the assumption that we have a responsible bidder, you will be awarding that by June 30th and following all the procedures to enjoy that $2 to $3 million worth of principal
forgiveness, which is translation to a grant and that project would start in the fall of this year. Lastly, we have two grant applications we're going to be working on. I I spoke to Trish about having resolutions prepared at the next meeting. That is the typical NJ DOT
mispl. You have a road, a pedestrian, and a bikeway application to pick from that program. And there's also the LTPF program as well. So, we will um correspond with the mayor, make sure we touch base, we have the right uh categories and projects, and we will
relay that to Trish. Mark. Yes. So, I just wanted to commend you and the group that came in that did the street ends by the hotels. I was impressed how fast they got it done and lined. I thought they did a nice job. They cleaned up real well, too. So, it
looks good. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions? Oh, good stuff, Mark. Thank you. Just on those uh grant application, I just want to confirm uh I think uh the plan is uh is different blocks on Denver uh Denver road. Yeah. So, what what we'll do is I had
mentioned this to Trish before the meeting, we we have to go into the DOT system. We're going to pull a certain number and you have to adopt their typical resolution, their form resolution. So, yes. Okay. Yes, that's a a beach debate project if I'm not mistaken. Okay.
Uh engineer correspondence. There is none. Uh brings us to discussion items. First thing on the agenda under new business is ordinance to regulate wireless communications facilities in the public rightway. Uh Mr. Galunis, I believe we already have the
ordinance. I think we just need to amend it to include in include some insurance provisions. Is that is that that updating um the ordinance for the insurance provisions within the ordinance based on Jeff recommendations? So there's insurance requirements in
there right now, but these are much more specific and detail. All right. So I guess that sounds to me that's uh something we need to do and I guess the next next meeting for an intro June 11 in they they were already reviewed by our
risk management so they're ready to go so it can be introduced. Okay. What were some of the changes in there? What did you what did you notice? Uh just levels of insurance and uh types of insurance additional provision for workers comp. Okay.
Uh very typical type things insurance. Yep. Yeah. Thanks. Thank you. It also adds that you know it could be approved by the bureau's risk management consultant etc. Okay. That wraps up uh new business
items. Old business 250th birthday committee. Nothing there. If you're interested, send an email to our clerk. Municipal app is on hold. Historical museums on hold. Concession agreement, hotel, zone and beach shares, that's uh that's on hold pending the outcome of
the army corps and the D project. Uh traffic calming uh that work has been done, right? The all the pedestrian crosswalks have been painted as part of the street end. They did a nice job.
um beach back beach excavation uh that was already com that was completed in terms of the emergency aspect of that. Um it's we'll continue to keep that on there. So it's uh we're tracking that for uh preparation for 2026. Uh Commissioner Franco, anything
on dredging? We're still waiting on D response. Okay. Uh New Jersey Avenue infrastructure pre-counting mark. I believe you indicated that's the one we're we need to go out to bid. Yeah, we're hopeful at the next meeting we can do a resolution to strike a big
schedule. Yep. Okay. Uh CU Avenue, BA falls in capacity. Uh that is uh we're just waiting to hear from the grant grant writers Triad and Jim Routolla. Um nothing new to report on the Army Corps and the Dune project. uh Burough Hall
renovations. We awarded that uh contract to the architect at the last meeting and architect will uh start they I believe uh our construction office found the plans that were from 1994. Yes. So we're just uh waiting for them to uh get
started and hold uh various meetings with staff. And can I have a question on that, Mayor? What what actually are we doing with that for the project for for the renovations? like where do we have an idea yet? Yeah. So, it would be the uh exterior of
municipal hall, the police side of the building and any other uh changes that may need to be needed on the administrative side of the building as well. So, as as they meet with department heads, they'll be able to develop the concerns and the
issues. Uh and then obviously they're going to meet with each of you individually, governing body members to share any ideas as that you may have as well. And then they'll put together a I guess a plan to address um all the things that uh that that have come up.
But I I off the top of my head, I know that the exterior of the building, including the roof and the police side, are definitely high priority of that project. And the budget for that, we're not we're not sure yet. Yeah. No, that would we would go through that process and then Francine would put the money in place it said for maybe some point in
2026 or following year or something somewhere in that time frame. Right. Thank any other questions on business. Okay. Brings us to uh commissioner uh I'm sorry public comments then we'll go
into commissioner comments. We'll start with anybody here in the audience just to come on up to the podium. We just need your name. Do not need your address. Hi, my name is Joe Viscomi. I just wanted to see what the progress was on the ordinance for commercial truck parking. Uh I know that the solicitor
had mentioned that they were really trying to crack that down because there's so many standard people are using trucks now for everyday vehicles and I've seen other towns where they make a rule that excludes you know 10% of the vehicles. It so I just want to see what the progress was on that and uh
and point out with the spending. I know that there's been a couple people outspoking on spending that it is a concern of a lot of residents of being careful on the spending uh and I believe I've been in this barrel for a long time that you guys for the most part have
been but just going forward we just are they are cognizant on spending uh and I know there were some comments made of all the new vehicles that were parked at C view and Washington over the winter for the uh uh the beach service And I I
don't want to pick point of that. It's just that the residents are cognizant of spending and they do get worried. So just keep that in mind as we plan for the future. Thank you. Thank you. One quick part about the uh the beach vehicles. We parked them back. They are
lease vehicles. They're they're not costing us as much as things could be. So we're uh we understand that. Thank you for talking about that. And I don't and not to open up that whole thing is but yeah one way or another they're cost and it's I honestly I differ with you on
buy on leasing versus buy. Uh I have vehicles I keep for a long time. So I know that you ran those numbers and and that has come up. I I can't see how the savings. I 11y old truck and an 18y old car and other cars. So I I believe in
buying them and then keeping them for a long time. But again, I just it's I do hear other there's a few people that are very outspoken, but for the most people, there are a lot of people that are worried about spending and I know we're talking about looking at doing some stuff on building. I also believe in
doing things a little bit of time, not waiting for a burrow to fall apart uh at the same time, but Okay. And I think Joe, you had he had a question on on the commercial truck ordinance and discussion. I know that's still under review at the moment. Yeah. because I mean there's so many people
that have an F-150 or an F250 and they put a a cap on the back of it. So it's just and I know that you you brought that up that it's it's it's hard now to define what that is. I know some vehicles are registered as commercial and I don't know if that crosses the line. Most res most people use it for
their own use. It's just it's not a commercial tag. So just and I know like I said we've already thought about that. So thanks. Thank you. Okay. Um, any other public comment? All right, we'll move right on
to the uh solicitor report. Everything is good. That doesn't get good. All right. Uh, we'll go to commissioner comments. Everything is good on my end. Mayor, I'm fine. Of course, I'll have to say something. I thought the Did you want to comment about the bike ride this
morning? Go ahead. Fire. No, you got it. You ready? Go ahead. You got it. It's your turn. It was great to see the school uh community come out and we all met a vendor. They drove down their bikes back to the school. I think it's great that it keeps the community involved and keeps the kids involved. The second thing I just want to mention
is uh and it's all the departments had a hand on this weekend that just happened and everything really went smoothly. Our town looks good and everybody is working well together. So, thank you and thank you mayor for your department there too. All right. Thank you. Uh so I just want
to comment somebody had uh resident had asked a question at the last meeting on how many beach boxes and how many was too many. I just want to make I got I did get that information. 297 boxes um 595 doors. Um there's approximately 11
boxes at uh every one of the 21 locations. Uh that when I say location, so that's they're kind of grouped in. So there's 42 street ends and there's roughly 21 locations. um which yields about $285,000 worth of revenue to the burough. So I believe that equates to a
little over a penny on the tax rate. Um the answer to the question on how many is not is enough. Uh just to be fair at the southern end of the crest beaches are skinnier than the northern end. So recreation has advised that hey if we're going to add more boxes we could
certainly do that in the north. There might be a point on the southern end of the crass that we may have to you know pull back the rains a little bit. So, I just wanted to make sure that individual was not here tonight. Um, but I just wanted to make sure that we got that information out. Uh, I also want to echo
um the comments. I thought the weekend, you know, we were originally calling for rain in terms of the weather. The good news is the sun came out, people are out moving around, a lot of people walking to the beach and the bike path and using the parks and and doing all that. So, uh, for that I'll say a success. I haven't heard anything um, from a public
safety standpoint and public works. We had we had some headaches, but we were able to work through all that. So overall, I I I have to say it's been really good. Now we we use these next couple weeks to button everything up that we couldn't get to Memorial Day weekend and let's hope for uh well, you know, better weather than than
what we've had leading up to Memorial Day weekend and have a great summer. So that said, that's all my comments. Thank you. All right. And we do not have a close session. We're going to table that until the next meeting. Yep. On June the 11th. Okay. Can I get a motion?
Motion. Second. All in favor?
