questions on the resolutions only yes Mr SL quick quick answer hopefully John sluka 950 sovet Court uh the award of contract of number 21 20 that number 2022 local roadway Improvement is this something that we started two years ago what this was not even started it was probably planned in 2022 2022 that's I say there's probably a good answer to this one yeah I was just on the roads this fall they are awful but we were waiting for everything to get everything to get approved and everything else I just thought it was a little weird that it was almost a year and a half or two years old uh the other one is what happens on number 18 onsite en environmentally safe Truck Wash service we get the water that goes into the thing and you know I understand that because they asked a question last year what happens to the water they collect it and a um they put like a bubble around the unit that they're washing they collect the water and they take it with them for proper disposal oh so like out into where if it happens to be yeah they have the they have the infrastructure necessary to properly properly get rid of it stuff because it has to go somewhere you know I know it doesn't dry up okay good enough thank you thank you sir anybody else yes sir good evening good evening yeah uh two two quick and easies uh n number two what exactly is planning incentive program and I think the the there's $1.4 million more you're asking for where is that going or what is it for and and the other one is question 8 just my own information this is this is the new police garage building back is that is that what that is yes so I wanted to make sure I got both your questions yes number eight is the Special Operations garage that is going in the rear that's correct my my question is my own information don't you normally do heating and vacuuming and HVAC and plumbing and everything as you're building it uh well we are still building it we have a temporary Co but in order for us to occupy it with actual people we have to finish this part so we we have been building it it's been under construction for several months okay and now we're at the point for the HVAC oh so that's like you you don't do it as you're building it like you would a house well we did the nuts and bolts but now we need the professionals to come in and Fin finish the design and take the design that was laid out and finish the work okay okay uh and yes planning incentive grant program so you have to you have to notify Green Acres by filling uh out giving them a comprehensive planning incentive grant program application that tells you about all of the parcels that may be acquired for open space or maybe interesting to us to acquire for open space or interesting to the county or interesting to the state to require for open space so if something comes up during the year from the boss committee or the county calls us about an interesting seller we already have notified green anchr that this is a property that's interesting to us and we may be acquiring so they want to see you continuing planning to do that they want to see you can having a an idea of what Parcels would work for you for o space and kind of prioritizing that so that's what the planning incentive gr program does this is also asking because we had put the Breton Woods property on here something wanted to acquire for them to up their funding to us to help us offset the cost of that acquisition oh so the 1.4 million is for Brenton Woods but you're asking more than you originally got yeah because we have other properties there were a couple of other properties that we're looking at at the same time it wasn't just AER okay thank you thank you sir anybody else from public please seeing none close public roll call councilman

should have taken that out council president Vincent manino I get that right hopefully yes orber councilman and Council woman the people of brick workers and residents like and the local news reporters as well uh my letter air pollution can cause a variety of health problems according to the National Institute of environmental health science air pollution can affect lung development and is implicated in the development of empyema asthma and other respiratory diseases such as chronic obstrusive pulmonary disease which is COPD most people know by increases in asthma prevalence prevalence and severity are linked uh to urbanization and outdoor air pollution Dr Allen Thomas Charlie a health expert states that long long-term exposure to air pollution can impair lung Health aggravate pre-existing illnesses and rais death rates deep blood bloodstream and lung penetration by delicate particle particulate matter and pollutant such as ground level oan can lead to organ damage and inflammation it is the major threat to Global health and prosperity air pollution as all forms is responsible for more than 6.5 million debts each year globally a number that has increased over the past two decades please please note that this is not an exis of list of health problems caused by the air pollution vehicles are a major source of air pollution producing about onethird of all US Air Pollution the small carbon monoxide and other toxins Emitt by vehicles are especially troubling because they leave the tail pipes at Street levels where humans can breathe them the polluted air directly into their lungs the gar stay Parkway continues to impact the Liv of the not so well wealthy residents and nothing is seems to be ever done some of the other things one may read if they don't like reading what I write air pollution Linked In dementia cases uh any addition of the NIH research matters read about findings from the health and retirement study funded by the National Institutes of Aging that showed higher air pollution was linked to the increased risk of dementia ni HS funded research found that younger adolescent brains developed differently when when they were exposed to air pollution during childhood even when pollution levels were well below the national air quality standards this study is first to assess how air pollution may affect the growth of children's function functional networks which PA information between different regions of the brain and are essential for cognitive and emotional development the NS sister study is a leading resource for research on environmental factors and breast cancer in this study White and her group found that women who live in the areas of high air pollution had a higher risk of developing breast cancer this vary geographically due to the different sources of pollution around the United States a 14 to 20 foot pollution noise and safety wall along with the increased number of Threes And brushes needed along with the heavily expanded Garden State Parkway the people of Evergreen Woods which are not the richest Community the people of Green Brier not the richest senior community the people of Brian Mills not the richest Community either the people going to school and working at Brick high and L Mill School basically the working class people die prematurely and get little help or no help people of Cherrywood town hall and the library also feel the abuse of New Jersey turn Park Authority every day doesn't anyone care I guess the council comons at of the meeting is a great opportunity to show that the mayor and council members care for The Not So financially well off in the township although I will guess things go will go the same way they have gone in the past little or very little is ever done thanks for your time I yeld back 45 seconds thank you anyone else from public yes sir good evening council president Council Administration and mayor my name is Charlie bacon 366 ran Copus Drive uh I was watching TV about a week and a half ago and I noticed a popey's commercial come on and I know at my age I shouldn't be eating that in full disclaimer I do not work for Popeyes however I did a little Googling on it because uh the board of adjustment a matter of fact did approve Popeyes to go next to the wobble I did not full disclosure attend any of the meetings during the hearing of Popeyes but I attended numerous meetings on the Wawa and when the Wawa was in front of your board of adjustment there was a lot of concerns raised by the traffic especially making left-hand turns out of the exit of Wawa and it was discussed by quite a few citizens that live on cross streets in that area across from that and that was approved with knowing full well this was going to be an issue there's no question W was are magnets a lot of people like them to eat and that's why a bank and several other things were approved there so I looked at the popey's approval with two conditions one was the paper Street which I get that seemed like a reasonable one the one that concerned me a little bit was the condition that was placed on popey's coming in here as a result of something that was approved by the wav now the board you had all your professionals here and this room was quite filled with people expressing concerns if that was allowed especially a left-hand turn coming out of waa then I read the the thing that was in front of popey's before the approval with all the conditions the problems with the uh the location of that exit close proximity to Jack Martin so what I'm expressing here is there's two things one my concern about putting a condition on a business because a board approved something knowing that this was probably going to be an issue and there was no conditions placed on that when waa was approved so I think going forward we should be careful when conditions are placed like that when the origin of the traffic problem was in fact related to Wawa with no post review allowed with that approval that's number one number two this came in front of the board in early December of 22 and the condition of them building there and part of that was to move the bank out of the anchor so that they could put a drive-thru was a do do approval so my question in front of this uh body is what is the status of that because that's probably 13 14 months in has there been any movement on that do approval at all may I clarify Mr B oh sure thank you if you're asking about the no left turn yes yes so uh this goes back so many months and so many consistent followups by not only uh the mayor's office and my office but also traffic safety and engineering and Tara Paxton and L use um the do was the one that asked us the township to support what they wanted to do which was no left turn VI resolution which the council did that day the day we got the request we changed the agenda and yet they have done absolutely nothing um in terms of the signage and formalizing the no left turn since we did that we have followed up repeatedly um and the answers we get is it's still being worked out with the their legal department of the dot so we will continue to follow up we greatly support that we the council supported it the day they were asked to support it way back in the day and it's it's really out of our hands but not beyond our scope to continue to follow up yeah I just ask you to continue it seems like an obvious thing your request obviously which started with them right right and and yet now that we did what we were asked to do they it's just Cricket yeah I I don't understand the inner working of do they actually approved both of those left-and turns out of that before that was approved but to your point it doesn't seem like a big change to do what they ask you to do with the resolution so thank you on that the other thing another full disclosure uh that I do want to bring up I talked to Mayor Ducey about this probably a year and a half ago uh in a meeting that I saw him in and it concerns the uh Dunkin Donuts on Herbertsville Road and that was approved as most of you know or some of you new members congratulations on uh winning the election that was approved to convert a bank and when that went in front of the planning board they utilized the uh one of the Bays for the bank and the problem over there and it continues to be a chronic problem is I would ask this governing body to to follow up with Public Safety which I asked the mayor to do not looking to give anybody tickets but I've been by that road when I used to live over there that it would block herbol road not only does it block Herbertsville Road it causes problem with people coming out of the traffic light there so maybe they could do something type of study that and especially I think on Saturday mornings things of that nature where that becomes very dangerous and I just asked if that could go through Public Safety again I'm not looking for people to get tickets because it was really created by a board approval with no provision in if the q line gets full and you can't have you can't blame people when they're trying to get in there to use a drive-thru so that would be another thing I'm I'm asking if you could follow up with Public Safety on and just check into that um because that continues to be a problem I occasionally go to Prime and always ask him about it so thank you for allowing me to go beyond my time have a good evening thank you sir take care anyone else from public please seeing none Clos public Mrs Bergen and how are you I was we how's everyone I have nothing thank you thank you yeah thank you yeah mayor creep thank you I just have a couple of things uh first I want to point out uh one thing if you've read uh I believe it was the last issue of the ocean star uh and I'm not sure if it was anywhere else I know that Dr Farrell was recently interviewed regarding the devastating cuts of the brick school system continues to have to live through and uh you know I I I've been trying to follow up as with that as well I know that the school district submitted an application for state state stabilization Aid funding and uh you know the S2 Cuts have consistently uh cut funding for the past seven years and and we deserve to be fully funded we deserve to be able to provide a thorough and efficient education for our students so with that in mind uh I do know that the application that was sent in was excellent uh and it requests uh full restoration for the aid that's been taken away again and I've had several conversations with the chair of the education committee Senator Vino to tell him that brick needs this funding and um we would like that restored for all the funding that we've lost so um I just wanted to keep people up to date with that that I have been reaching out I have been pushing to have that funding restored and that the children in Brick deserve to have that thorough and efficient and quality education so I'm hoping to get hoping that the school district gets some good news on that soon um and we'll continue here in our office to impress the need for fair funding for our schools uh other things going on beside that um I was able to attend the police EMS Awards uh at the beginning of January it was very exciting I would like to congratulate Alexis Sweeney and Michael magnetti they were the 2023 EMT uh EMTs of the year they both did such a fabulous job that two people got the award this year and I all the time that I've spent with seniors and and talking with people around town one of the things that has always resonated is the fact that our EMS Squad is the best of the best I've never had anyone say anything other than what a wonderful uh group of people they are how they're always so kind and caring and how they're uh they know their stuff and they come in and they're um just always such an asset to our community so I want to thank them publicly for doing all the hard work that they do on what is arguably as I said at the award ceremony uh at a time when they're meeting people on what would consider be considered probably the worst days of their lives and they're always there to be um the best that they can be and I I'm very grateful that we have them here fulltime in our Township uh so thank you to them and when you see them out on the roads or if you see them out getting a snack of the WWA or if they're just happen to be out and about make sure you thank them too on January 12th I was able to go to the brick vers brick basketball games uh we had uh the girls play and the boys play each other at Memorial and congratulations to Township girls and Township boys they both pulled off a win so congratulations to them great games uh it was very exciting to be there for that match uh on the 13th I was able to go to a ribbon cut with councilwoman D young for unscathed cuts that is uh located over I don't remember the the plaza name but it's
