ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YEAH. MUTE MY PHONE. OKAY. MAYOR'S REPORT. OCTOBER 3RD. THE TOWNSHIP CELEBRATED ITS VOLUNTEERS, OUR EMS, OUR FIRE COMPANIES BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. I THINK OUR TOWN IS STRONG BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COME AND VOLUNTEER AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. AS EVERYBODY KNOWS, WE HAVE 100% VOLUNTEER EMS AVAILABLE 24 OVER SEVEN. AND I AGAIN, ENCOURAGE ALL OUR RESIDENTS TO MAKE SURE THEY SUPPORT OUR EMS AND OUR FIRE COMPANIES AND WRITE A CHECK, IF POSSIBLE. OCTOBER 7TH TOWNSHIP HOSTED A CYBERSECURITY TOWN HALL WITH PRESENTATION BY NJ CYBERSECURITY AND COMMUNICATIONS INTEGRATION, CELL AND TOWNSHIP I.T. UNDER JOSEPH JOLY AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT ON CYBER THREATS, BEST PRACTICES, AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO PROTECT AGAINST EMERGING THREATS. WE HAD A GOOD SHOWING OF RESIDENTS WHO CAME TO HEAR WHAT CAN BE DONE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE DO HAVE THAT RECORDED, AND ONE CAN FIND IT ON THE WEBSITE. OCTOBER 8TH, THE ADMINISTRATOR AND I WERE AT AN HOA LISTENING SESSION AT CHERRY VALLEY. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT. IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO GO THERE, AS MANY OF THE RESIDENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO COME TO OUR EVENING MEETINGS, AND WE GOT TO HEAR A LOT OF ISSUES THAT THEY WERE DEALING WITH, ESPECIALLY THE ISSUE THEY HAVE WITH CELL SERVICE. AND THERE IS DEFINITELY AN EFFORT BY THE TOWNSHIP TO GET A CELL TOWER THERE, AND WORK IS IN PROGRESS AS FAR AS HOW, WHEN THAT'S GOING TO COME ABOUT OCTOBER 8TH WAS IN-PERSON PLANNED FOR HEALTH LISTENING SESSION AND COMMITTEEMAN ON AND I ATTENDED, AND I THINK IT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT HEALTH AND COMMUNITY MEANS, WHAT COMMUNITY MEANS. AND I THINK GOOD DISCUSSION ON OUR OPEN SPACES, OUR TRAILS AND ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, WHICH BROUGHT UP TRANSPORTATION. AND I'LL LET DENNIS COMMITTEEMAN ON TALK ABOUT NUTRITION AND SOME OTHER ISSUES HE BROUGHT UP. OCTOBER 9TH WAS THE RIBBON CUTTING AND GRAND OPENING OF AFC URGENT CARE MONTGOMERY PROMENADE.
AGAIN, IT'S A PLEASURE FOR THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE TO BE AT THESE RIBBON CUTTINGS BECAUSE THIS IS. BUSINESSES WHO ARE INVESTING IN OUR TOWN, AND ANY RATABLE THAT COMES INTO OUR TOWN HELPS OUR TAX BASE. AND OF COURSE, WE ARE GLAD TO WELCOME NEW BUSINESSES. OCTOBER 10TH.
SOMERSET COUNTIES JOURNEY THROUGH THE PAST WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE HISTORICAL SITES IN MONTGOMERY, NEW JERSEY, AND ESPECIALLY IN MONTGOMERY. THERE'S A DIRECT
[00:10:03]
CONNECTION TO AMERICAN. AMERICA'S COLONIAL AND REVOLUTIONARY WAR, PAST, LOCAL LENAPE HERITAGE, AND PRESERVED NATURAL LANDSCAPES. I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE GULICK HOUSE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PLACES THAT IS RUN BY OUR VAN HARLINGEN SOCIETY. IT'S A ONE AND A HALF STORY DUTCH COLONIAL HOUSE THAT WAS BUILT FROM FIELDSTONE IN 1752 BY DEREK GULICK. HE WAS MARRIED TO REACH, AND A STONE PLAQUE ON THE EXTERIOR HAS THEIR INITIALS ON THE YEAR IT WAS BUILT, AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO ALSO DROP IN OR GO AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT SAM, WHICH IS OUR CHURCH IN SKILLMAN. THIS HERITAGE MUSEUM PRESERVES AND SHARES THE RICH HISTORY, CULTURE, AND STORIES OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE SOUTH MOUNTAIN REGION. ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF JOURNEY THROUGH THE PAST, AN EFFORT THAT THE SOMERSET COUNTY DOES WITH TOWNS IN HERE, AND I'M ENCOURAGING OUR RESIDENTS TO PLEASE FIND TIME TO GO AND VISIT THESE SITES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LEARNING ABOUT OUR HISTORY MAKES US ALL STRONGER TOGETHER. THE UPCOMING EVENT WE HAVE, WE JUST HAD OUR LEGISLATORS RIGHT HERE. BUT NEW JERSEY OFFICE OF LEGISLATIVE SERVICES ASSEMBLYMAN MEMBERS FREEMAN AND DRULIS ARE HOSTING A VETERANS RESOURCE FAIR OCTOBER 20TH AT THE OTTO KAUFMANN COMMUNITY CENTER. AND THEN, OF COURSE, TRUNK OR TREAT. LET'S NOT FORGET THAT'S ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH AT MONTGOMERY HIGH SCHOOL. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME. AND IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BRINGING A CAR, DECORATING YOUR CAR, IF YOU'RE A LOCAL BUSINESS OR YOU RUN A NONPROFIT AND YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE, YOU CAN DECORATE YOUR CAR AS A TRUNK AND HAVE SOME CANDIES AND THE KIDS WILL COME. AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO BUILD COMMUNITY. AND YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS. AND THAT'S IT FOR ME. AND WE HAVE ALSO HAD OUR RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING.IT WAS A GOOD MEETING. THERE WERE DIFFERENT THINGS BROUGHT UP. I THINK THERE'S A DISCUSSION ON HAVING A SURVEY BY A RECREATION COMMITTEE TO SEE WHAT ARE THE NEEDS OF THE TOWN. WE DID ONE FOUR YEARS AGO IN 2022, AND SEEMS LIKE SOME UPDATES ARE NEEDED. AND THAT'S IT FOR MY REPORT. I THINK NOW IT'S THE ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT. THANK YOU MAYOR, I JUST WANTED TO UPDATE EVERYONE ON THE DOG PARK THAT'S BEHIND THE OLD MUNICIPAL BUILDING. THERE WERE SOME REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE MADE, AND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE UNDERWAY. SO SOME BROKEN BENCHES HAVE BEEN REMOVED. NEW ONES ARE ON ORDER. AND WE'RE WAITING FOR A STATUS UPDATE FROM THE SCOUT WHO PRESENTED HERE. SHE IS DOING SOME AGILITY COURSES FOR THE THE THE DOGS THAT USE THE PARK. SO WE'LL GET AN UPDATE ON WHEN THAT WILL BE WILL BE HAPPENING. I WANTED TO ALSO, CAN I JUST MENTION ABOUT THE DOG PARK REALLY QUICKLY? I WAS WONDERING IF WE WERE LOOKING INTO. I DID MENTION TO REC COMMITTEE ABOUT POSSIBLE BASKETBALL COURT THERE. I THINK THAT DISCUSSION DID HAPPEN AT THE REC COMMITTEE. OKAY. AND IT THE COMMITTEE PEOPLE WANT TO DISCUSS IT AND SEE WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD, IF THAT IS THE RIGHT SPOT OR. THERE IS ALSO SOME OPEN SPACE LAND. KENT WONG, ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEN BROUGHT UP. SO THERE'S DEFINITELY THAT. YOUR MENTION OF TRYING TO GET A BASKETBALL COURT WAS BROUGHT UP. THANK YOU.
OKAY. THANK YOU. ON THE VICTORY TOWN SIGNAGE. IF YOU REMEMBER, WE HAD JESSE HAVENS TALKING ABOUT THAT. AND SO I DID FOLLOW UP WITH RICKY MASON, WHO'S OUR CHAIR OF OUR LANDMARKS COMMISSION. AND THE LANDMARKS COMMISSION HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO GET VICTORY TOWN ROAD SIGNS. SO THESE ARE THE SIGNS THAT WILL IDENTIFY WHERE THE ACTUAL MARCH TOOK PLACE ALONG SECTIONS OF RIVER ROAD AND MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP. SO THAT IS A KEY COMPONENT OF THAT. IN ADDITION TO THE HISTORICAL MARKER THAT WE HAVE PLACED HERE AT THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING, AS WE'VE EXPLAINED, FOR ACCESS TO PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY WALK UP TO IT AND READ IT. SO I DID WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. I'M NOT SURE IF JESSE, WHO'S ON THE LANDMARKS COMMISSION, HAD MISSED THAT MEETING, BUT THAT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED AT LANDMARKS COMMISSION. OKAY. AND THE PLANNING BOARD MET ON ON MONDAY THE 12TH. PAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE GOING TO GIVE THIS UPDATE, BUT I DID WANT TO SHARE THAT. TARA KENYON, WHO'S THE CONSULTANT WORKING ON OUR PERIODIC REEXAMINATION OF THE MASTER PLAN, GAVE A VERY THOROUGH PRESENTATION THAT EXPLAINED ABOUT THE MASTER PLAN, ABOUT THE REEXAMINATION PROCESS AND SOME OF THE CONTENT AND SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE RECEIVED THROUGH THE PLAN FOR HEALTH INITIATIVE THAT WE'RE DOING. THAT'S THAT $50,000 GRANT THAT WE GOT THROUGH THE ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION AND THE NEW JERSEY AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN STAYING ON TOP OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MASTER PLAN THAT THEY GO ON TO OUR WEBSITE, LOOK AT MEETING VIDEOS. IT'S THE LATEST PLANNING BOARD
[00:15:05]
MEETING ON OCTOBER 12TH, AND IT'S SHORTLY THERE INTO THE AGENDA ITEM. IT'S ITEMIZED ON THE AGENDA. SO YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON THAT SECTION AND IT GOES RIGHT TO HER PRESENTATION.VERY HELPFUL. SHE DID A REALLY FANTASTIC JOB. SO I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DO THAT. AND THAT IS IT FOR ME. OKAY. DEPUTY MAYOR, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. FIRST, I WANT TO ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME FOR MY SUNGLASSES. I WENT TO THE EYE DOCTOR THIS AFTERNOON AND MY EYES DID NOT RECOVER IN TIME FOR THESE BRIGHT LIGHTS. SO I PROMISE I'M NOT IN WITNESS PROTECTION. AS FAR AS MY COMMITTEE REPORTS. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE CHECK WE JUST RECEIVED FOR THE WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENTS. THE OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE HAS NOT MET SINCE THE LAST TIME THAT THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE MET, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RESCHEDULING THE MEETING. I DON'T THINK IT'S RESCHEDULED YET, SO LOOK OUT FOR THAT IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S OF INTEREST TO YOU. AND OF COURSE, THE OUR ADMINISTRATOR JUST GAVE A GREAT UPDATE ON THE PLANNING BOARD, SPECIFICALLY THE MASTER PLAN UPDATES. I REALLY ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED IN THE MASTER PLAN UPDATES TO LOOK AT THOSE RECORDINGS, BECAUSE THE PRESENTATIONS ARE VERY CLEAR, THEY'RE VERY CONCISE, AND THEY REALLY HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO UPDATE THE MASTER PLAN. IN ADDITION TO THE PLAN FOR HEALTH, WE HAD AN UPDATE ON THE FARMLAND PRESERVATION PLAN. SO I KNOW THAT IT'S OF INTEREST TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND COMMITTEE. OKAY. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. SO THE AG ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WE DIDN'T HAVE A MEETING BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING PRUDENT TO TALK ABOUT. BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PLANNING BOARD FOR ADOPTING THE FARMLAND PRESERVATION PLAN THIS PAST MONDAY. IT'S BEEN A BIG MULTI YEAR PROJECT FOR THE AG ADVISORY, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE IT ADOPTED. THE VETERANS COMMITTEE. THE VETERANS COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE'S A VETERANS RESOURCE RESOURCE FAIR ON OCTOBER 20TH AT 9 A.M. TO 2 P.M. AT OTTO KAUFMANN. THEY CAN COME LEARN ABOUT WHAT LOCAL RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, GET IN-PERSON ASSISTANCE FROM NJDEP FROM SORRY.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO DO BECAUSE SCHOOL IS STARTING. SO PEOPLE GET REALLY BUSY. YES, YES, SCHOOL STARTS AND THERE'S A LOT TO DO IN SEPTEMBER. AND THEN LASTLY, ON OCTOBER 5TH, THERE WAS A, I GUESS, A FIRE, LOCAL FIRE, THE POLICE, FIRE COMPANIES ONE AND TWO AND EMS WERE RESPOND RESPONDED TO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. THE TWO RESIDENTS, THANK GOD THEY'RE THEY'RE SAFE. BUT YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A A PET THAT UNFORTUNATELY WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT. AND I TALKED TO ONE OF THE FIRE FIGHTERS AND BASICALLY THEY WERE LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR AS WE GET INTO THE COLDER SEASONS, FALL, WINTER, PEOPLE HAVE SPACE HEATERS, REALLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AND CHECK YOUR FIRE DETECTORS AND SMOKE DETECTORS, ALARMS. I KNOW I'M, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WHEN THE SUMMERTIME AND IT'S LIKE IT'S BLARING AND IT DOESN'T REALLY, IT'S THE NEED TO CHANGE THE BATTERY AND IT'S JUST MAKING ALL THIS NOISE. I JUST RIP IT OFF THE CEILING, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T, IF YOU, IF YOU, IF YOU DO, PLEASE REPLACE IT, FIX IT, PUT A NEW BATTERY IN, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT COULD, IT COULD SAVE LIVES.

BEING A RESIDENT OF CHERRY VALLEY AND WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW NEW CELL TOWER COMING, COMING, AVAILABLE.SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I, I DO WANT TO REITERATE THAT WHAT THE ADMINISTRATOR DID BRING UP IS THE CELL TOWER CAN ONLY GO UP WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO LEASE. AT THIS POINT, WE DON'T HAVE. AND WE HAD ASKED THE WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHO'S TAKEN A LEASE. SO BEFORE IT GETS CONSTRUCTED. SO WE HAD ASKED THE THE RESIDENTS IF THEY COULD ALSO HELP BY WRITING TO FCC AND SAYING THAT THERE IS A BIG ISSUE. I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP. AND THEY ALL AGREED THAT THEY WILL ALSO MAKE AN EFFORT AND WE WILL DO IT ON OUR END. BUT YES, MORE PEOPLE WRITING AND SAYING, HEY, THIS THIS IS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. BECAUSE IF SOMEONE IS IN, YOU KNOW, NEEDS TO CALL 911 AND YOU DON'T GET CONNECTED THAT THAT'S HORRIBLE. BUT THANK YOU. AND, AND I WANTED TO SAY COMMITMENT, MARTIN THAT DENNIS COMMITMENT ON AND I ATTENDED THE THE COUNTY SESSION. DID YOU WANT TO UPDATE COMMITMENT ON ABOUT THE COUNTY SESSION, ABOUT THE BUILDING THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE SKILLMAN. SO YOU SAID OPEN SPACE. SO THAT'S WHY IT CAME TO MY MIND. YEAH.

NOW, THE THE COUNTY IS SAYING THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY THEY'RE AT THE DAIRY FARM. AND THE DAIRY FARM IS, IS FALLING APART. IT'S VERY UNSTABLE. SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO RELOCATE TO THEIR PROPERTY ON SKILLMAN PARK. AND THEY ACTUALLY WERE VERY THEY PLACED IT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER WHERE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO REALLY SEE MUCH OF THE BUILDING OR THE ACTIVITIES. IT ALSO HELPS THEM MAINTAIN SKILLMAN PARK A LOT BETTER BECAUSE THEIR EQUIPMENT IS RIGHT ON SITE. AND, YOU KNOW, I FOR ONE, LOVE SKILLMAN PARK. I THINK IT'S THE BEST PARK IN MONTGOMERY AND PROBABLY IN IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. IT'S JUST VERY CALM, QUIET. YOU KNOW, YOU WALK THROUGH, IT'S, IT'S, THERE'S NO, LIKE A LOT OF ACTIVITIES GOING ON. SO YEAH, I IT'S IT, THEY PLACED IT RIGHT.

HAVE MORE UPDATES THEN. THE BOARD OF HEALTH HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY. FIRST OFF, THEY HAD CORRESPONDENCE FROM RESIDENTS EXPRESSING CONCERN ABOUT MONTGOMERY'S DEER POPULATION IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH. THAT LED TO A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. AND THEN THE BOARD OF HEALTH WAS GOING TO URGE THAT THE TOWN LOOK INTO ADDITIONAL WAYS TO REDUCE THE DEER POPULATION. THE BOARD OF HEALTH ALSO HAD AN ANNUAL REPORT, WHICH WAS A LOT OF PAGES AND A LOT OF PRESENTATION, AND IT WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO FIND OUT WHAT ALL THE BOARD OF HEALTH IS DOING.THEY WERE GOING TO THEY ACTUALLY ASKED IF THEY COULD GET ADDED TO THE AGENDA AT SOME POINT, JUST TO MAKE THAT PRESENTATION HERE. AND I HAVE TO SAY, IT WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE AND EDUCATIONAL. SO THAT'S THE UPDATE SO FAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I GUESS LEGAL UPDATES FROM OUR ATTORNEY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. NO LEGAL UPDATE IN PUBLIC TONIGHT, BUT WE DO HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. PUBLIC COMMENT.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO ADDRESS THE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE ON MATTERS PERTAINING TO THE TOWNSHIP WILL BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON. IF COMMENTS ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE ALREADY STATED, PLEASE INDICATE YOUR SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION GROUPS ARE ASKED TO SELECT A SPOKESPERSON. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE? OH, OKAY. YES. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MY NAME IS JEREMIAH OBERT. I RESIDE AT 943.
YOU MAY WANT TO GET THE MIC A LITTLE CLOSER BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT. YEAH, IT DOESN'T GO. YEAH.
CAN YOU. JEREMIAH OBERT I RESIDE AT 943 ROUTE 518. EXCUSE ME, NEW JERSEY IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY. EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU SPELL YOUR LAST NAME FOR ME? FOR THE RECORD, IT'S LIKE ROBERT WITHOUT THE ROBERT. OKAY. THANK YOU. MY NEIGHBORS AND I ARE HERE THIS EVENING TRYING TO ADDRESS YOU FOLKS AND LET YOU BE AWARE OF AGREEMENTS THAT WE HAVE WITH SJC VENTURES, THE MONTGOMERY PROMENADE PROJECT. WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. WE'RE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE RING ROADS. SOME OF THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS ARE GROWING, YOU KNOW, GROWING PAINS, BUT I'M SURE WE'LL ALL GET USED TO IT AT SOME POINT. ONCE THEY HAD STARTED THIS PROJECT, THEY HAVE KIND OF GONE OUTSIDE OF THE GUIDELINES OF THE AGREEMENTS THAT THEIR ATTORNEY, MR. GOLDSTEIN, BACK IN 2019, I BELIEVE IT WAS WHEN THEY TOOK OVER THE PROJECT, SAID THEY NOT ONLY WOULD HONOR TO THE LETTER, BUT ALSO WOULD BE TRANSFERABLE TO ANY NEW NEIGHBORS THAT MOVE IN, SINCE THE AGREEMENTS ACTUALLY ARE PERTAINED TO THE PROPERTY, NOT NECESSARILY THE INDIVIDUAL THAT LIVES THERE. THESE AGREEMENTS WERE DRAFTED BY MY DECEASED SPOUSE, JAMES KEARNEY. KOOSER, ORIGINALLY WITH MADISON MARQUETTE, AND I HAD BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS. WHEN THEY STARTED THE PROJECT, THEY BUILT A MOUNTAIN OF DIRT ALONG OUR BACK PROPERTY LINE WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO CONSTRUCTION SCREENING, WE GOT NO CONSTRUCTION SCREENING. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, THEY WERE REMOVING THE MOUNTAIN OF DIRT. I ASKED THE CONSTRUCTION A GUY FROM MARCH WHY AND IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE BUILDING THE BERM IN THE WRONG PLACE. IT'S THE SAME LOCATION THAT THEY HAD TO DIG DOWN 30FT TO GET TO THE SEWER LINE. OUR BORDER LINE FENCE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME OR BEFORE THE SEWER LINE WAS TO GO IN THE FENCE DIDN'T GO IN FOR A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE SEWER LINE WAS PUT IN. WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE ANY OF THIS CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS GOING ON. MR. SEAN MCLAURIN WAS REALLY TRYING TO HANDLE THIS PROJECT FROM GEORGIA. I HAD SENT HIM A NUMBER OF PICTURES WHEN THE FENCE WAS GOING IN, DEPICTING THE FACT THAT THE FENCE NOT ONLY WAS NOT 24IN OFF OF OUR BACK PROPERTY LINE AS THE AGREEMENT STATE, BUT ALSO IS THE WRONG STYLE OF FENCE. HE DID A LOT OF DELAY WORK. WE WALKED THE BACK PROPERTY LINE.
WE SHOWED HIM THE DIFFERENCES. THE FENCE NOT ONLY WANDERS BACK AND FORTH FROM OUR BACK PROPERTY LINE, BUT AS YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S NOT LEVEL. IT GOES UP AND DOWN LIKE THE OCEAN GOES UP OVER A MOUNTAIN IN THE BACK OF TWO OF MY NEIGHBOR'S YARDS. SO IT'S A LITTLE RIDICULOUS.
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM NOW. AND SEAN ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME, YOUR LAWYER ISN'T ANY GOOD AND YOUR AGREEMENTS ARE MORE OF A GUIDELINE. THEY'RE NOT REALLY A LEGAL DOCUMENT.
HOWEVER. MR. GOLDSTEIN SAYING ON RECORD UNDER OATH, THIS FINE COUNSEL THAT THEY WOULD HONOR IT TO THE LETTER AND TO THE TEE AND THAT THEY WERE TRANSFERABLE, TOLD ME THAT HE IS NOT THE PERSON TO TRY AND DEAL WITH. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH ATTORNEYS. I RETAINED ANOTHER
[00:30:03]
ATTORNEY, MORE LEGAL FEES AND EXPENSES FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN HANDLING THIS IN LIEU OF MY DECEASED SPOUSE, WHO WAS AN ATTORNEY FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAD HIS OWN PRACTICE IN PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY. QUITE SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY. YOUR TIME IS UP. BUT IF YOU WANT TO JUST FINISH UP, I HAVE THE AGREEMENTS. IF I COULD DO SO, WE WE DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HELP OUR RESIDENTS. YEAH. YES. PLEASE LEAVE THAT WITH THE CLERK. AND AS A TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE, WE DO WANT TO SUPPORT. YES, YES, YES. SHE WILL MAKE SURE WE GET IT.THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE TIME. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY. ORDINANCES. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING. THERE ARE NO ORDINANCES FOR INTRODUCTION ORDINANCES, PUBLIC HEARING, FINAL ADOPTION. THERE ARE NO ADOPTION RESOLUTIONS. RESOLUTION 26 DASH TEN DASH 281. AUTHORIZING. AUTHORIZING THE MUNICIPAL CLERK TO CERTIFY THAT THE GOVERNING BODY HAS REVIEWED THE COMPLETED BEST PRACTICES INVENTORY AT A PUBLIC MEETING. YES. ARE YOU SHOWING UP? YOU'RE NOT SHOWING ANYTHING? NO, NO, I'LL JUST TALK ABOUT. YES, MAYOR. THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL COMMITTEE. AS YOU KNOW, EVERY YEAR AROUND THIS TIME, DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES RELEASES A BEST PRACTICE INVENTORY THAT EVERY MUNICIPALITY HAS TO COMPLETE. IT DEALS WITH YOUR FINANCIAL OPERATIONS. IT DEALS WITH YOUR OPERATIONAL PRACTICES, YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTORY AND REGULATIONS, AND YOU HAVE TO MEET A CERTAIN SCORE. AND IF YOU DON'T, THEY CAN TAKE AWAY A PORTION OF YOUR STATE AID. SO THIS YEAR THERE WERE 71 QUESTIONS. SOME OF THEM HAD MULTIPLE SUB QUESTIONS TO THEM, BUT THERE WERE 71 QUESTIONS. YOU HAD TO GET A SCORE OF AT LEAST 34 TO MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVE 100% OF YOUR STATE AID. THE MAX SCORE YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN WAS 48 POINTS. WE RECEIVED A SCORE OF 45.5 POINTS, WHICH IS 94.8%. THERE WERE THREE QUESTIONS THAT WE DIDN'T GET SCORED ON, TWO OF THEM RELATED TO LEAD REMEDIATION, WHICH WILL BE HANDLED BEFORE NEXT BEST PRACTICES. THIS IS RELATIVELY NEW, THE REMEDIATION, BUT THIS IS ALREADY BEING WORKED ON. AND BY NEXT BEST PRACTICES, IF THEY HAVE THIS QUESTION AGAIN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER YES TO IT TO THE TWO QUESTIONS. AND THEN THE FINAL QUESTION DEALS WITH LABOR AGREEMENTS, SIDEBARS AND WHATNOT POSTED ON YOUR WEBSITE.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T DONE. WE'LL DISCUSS TO SEE IF WE WANT TO DO THAT. AGAIN. ALL OUR LABOR LABOR CONTRACTS ARE ON THE WEBSITE. BUT THAT'S, AGAIN, IT'S IT'S PROVIDING A LOT MORE DETAIL TO PUT ON THE WEBSITE. BUT AGAIN, WE'LL DISCUSS THAT. OKAY. BUT AGAIN, WE SCORED 45.5 OUT OF 48 POINTS. SO AGAIN, VERY, VERY GOOD RESULTS FROM MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP. THANK YOU TO DEPARTMENT HEADS, ADMINISTRATION AND ALL THE EMPLOYEES FOR TRULY, YOU KNOW, HANDLING AND CREATING SOUND OPERATIONAL PRACTICES AND AN ENVIRONMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STANDARDS THAT WE UPHOLD HERE.
