actually I'm going to skip and go to 254, which uh is a resolution authorizing our RFQS, our request for qualifications for 2026 professional services. And we have one cash uh performance bond uh
refund for 730 Birwood Drive. And we're moving back up to resolutions uh 250, 251, 252, 253, and 256. They're all they're all tied together. Uh, as we've mentioned in the past, uh, as I mentioned in the past, health insurance
rates are skyrocketing for 2026. 37% increases in state health benefits. We've been working with our employees, with our two collective bargaining units, both the PBA and the DPW. Uh and we have come to a uh an agreement
on a proposal to move all our employees to a H to a uh what is the NJ direct HD high deductible healthcare plan with uh a health reimbursement account fully funded to cover the member out of
pocket. So, we are actually providing an we're actually providing an equal to or better plan for our employees at a 50% reduction in the premium from what we were going to pay next year.
Um so the resolutions uh in front of you are 250 updating our health insurance policy effective January 1. 251 appointing EB solutions which is doing business as the difference card to be
our health reimbursement services TPA for 2026. uh 20 uh 252 authorizes a memorandum of agreement with the Whiteoff Road Department Association concerning the health benefits which authorizes

would be paying in 2000 uh what they would be paying in December of 2025 extending that for two months um to help our employees avoid such a drastic increase.
Um that took several meetings between both associations and all our employees. I want to thank our public our personnel committee, the entire township committee for attending the the sessions and all the employees for taking the time to
come to the information sessions and for believing us and signing on board with this to really push forward savings um with regard to healthcare in 20 26. Moving on to ordinances,

provisions uh with regard to offduty um police work raising our uh billable rate from 135 to 150. uh pretty much because our overtime rates have gone up with the new contract and we need to make sure that our billable rate is
above the overtime rate. 256 authorizes our 2026 salaries for the Department of Public Works to go along with the uh 2026 through 29 um collective bargaining agreement

The 2026 calendar is going to the printer tomorrow. I've already covered the DPW contract and the health insurance. We have received word that we have been selected for an award of the 2026 leaf
composting grant from the NJD. Unfortunately, in typical state fashion, the award letter does not say how much we were awarded, so we're still waiting on how much that will be. Uh we have received word uh that we've received $215,934
from the Department of Transportation for our 2026 municipal aid program for Crescent A phase 1. We will reapply we'll apply for Crescent A phase 2 and we'll do that project similar to the way we're doing laws at one full fail swoop.

mediation with Dave and Fair just went over. Um, on the 11th, I was also invited to a holiday um reception at the Vista which was a very nice it was a different kind of a group of people. It wasn't a political event or a
governmental event but it was a nice append also in the category of non-governmental political I was invited by Charlie Shmire to attend the Shire Company's 100th
anniversary gala at the Indian Trail. I was away um and it was was a very nice event and um a lot of good memories, a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time. Most of us remember on the 16th
I was invited to an event at the Edgewood Country Club in Riverdale. I was invited by um Jewish Family Services Organization from Burton County for a gal they have in which they were proving an award to a white
president Rob's wife was uh he was an officer in the organization and he lives in town. He still lives in town and he put a lot of years in service to um to not only Jewish residents of the county but all residents of the county. It's
quite quite an event and quite a quite an organization they have and they do a lot of good. So I was honored to be invited to that. Rabbi Josh Waxman was there as well as so good to see. Um on the 19th I attend a library board meeting and as I mentioned a little
earlier they uh the library board adopted the new healthare plan that works so hard to put together. Um Okay. Um, I want to thank and congratulate the negotiating teams for both the DPW and
the township for bringing us a very fair andable labor agreement with our DPW, our hardwork. So, good job for everyone. Um, yesterday I attended a design review committee meeting.

and negotiating and getting our escalating healthare forces. We accomplished a lot and um and that's all I have other than happy Thanksgiving. Uh yes, mayor. Uh just to reiterate the uh uh settlement negotiations on our
housing element. Uh I was there as the mayor said with Matt and our planner on the 17th. We're going back this coming up Monday. I expect we will settle. They didn't really were not looking for that fair share too many changes. But I think
it's important to note that though we're going down that that avenue, there's a parallel uh avenue that we are part of a litigation group that is uh at least putting forth some of our grave concerns about this round four affordable
housing. And I think it's important for the public to know that even though we want to comply, we want to be uh uh protecting our zoning rights from any biller's remedy, we also are very concerned about what's going on with affordable housing. And we are going to
continue down the litigation route with our group statewide and the federal. Uh there are some motions that are going to be heard on the 15th. I don't know if I'll be able to report on any decisions on our meeting on the 16th, but I will let everybody know once some decisions come down about those subsequently. Uh,
as Mr. Lane said, uh, there was a nice ecumenical service for Thanksgiving. Almost all the clergy in town participated in it. It was great to see that even though there may be difference in religions, denominations, this town we bring people together and we find the
