big congratulations to our very own and my friend former mayor John Madden uh who was recognized um earlier tonight as mayor of Meritus I got to get used to that uh thank you again John for all of your help and wisdom and everything you've done for the bur so thank you thank you that's it mayor that's it Council mccorn yes man' last week I would like to address something that Mich Edwards made in the points specifically that just they just were not true him being a form of councilman gave me a deep impression that he lacked the awareness of our roles and responsibilities and the duties and the difference between them and his actions were a political retaliation they with false allegations and defamation per se was succeeding moving forward as I can see tonight I'm always open to a conversation which nobody has done but I have not spoken Miss Edwards since he has resigned so I choose to move forward in love but I will not not allow friendship to be in our cat film what a blessing it is for news12 to give a local community giving them a chance to show off their entrepreneur spirit thank you mayor as me myself the mayor and the police chief make up this committee and the mayor has given me the privilege we've been reached out by two and by chance encounters with two other businesses currently there's a cap of four I'm ensuring that everything's going to work out with this and I've been keeping the mayor uh up to date with everything that's going on um for the seniors and disabled I mean I heard everyone's doing um happy and amazing I'm not surprised because it's great leadership over there so I have no doubt that this community and this department is receiving top-notch love and devotion in the Cent culture and Heritage I got my answer super Shady we're talking about transparency I thought ordinance amendments went through two readings um this is just it is what it is at this point um James Johansson was going to be appointed to it who has a passion to address such things as food disparages an opioid academics he has a deep career in handling these things so I guess is it still going to go through two commits Mr cor does it still go through the two reading process the ordinance was was read in normal course put it was two readings yes I mean what was the changes with the orance this was on last meeting for introduction and tonight for for there was nothing culture Heritage what are you talking about I thought hit the council madx no there was no so I think an appointment if I understand then I think the sunshine was by no no no no no so so I thought you meant the cons mtic so as I said in my email to you on this issue the appointments in the ordinance are mayor all appointments um mayor's discretion uh as to the consensus I believe that uh the mayor took tonight um we'll need to discuss the the implementation and that ordinance if in order to necessary will take the two meetings as you said okay so chapter 19 talks about appointments being Council mtic suggested within with the that is the culture and Heritage committee that is this it takes it and it says that we make the suggestions and the Mary they're approved it and without I had I was just lost so I don't think that's transparent so there I want to be very clear what your question is so two reads there are going to be two readings to change this ordinance to separate the culture because the members that were not interviewed were the successful members that have been running a festival and one's been running open mic night there's a couple things going on and they weren't interviewed right so this is like very biased very the appointment process Remains the Same as as it is at the mayor's discretion I think we agree on it correct you have my email on that and the ordinance is the ordinance is clear on that but if the we're changing the council mtic and we're finalizing it tonight wouldn't this take precedence so therefore it's still how it's supposed to be so they run on two separate tracks right the council mtic is one part of the ordinance make sure I satisfied so catic the third orig is you were talking about yeah which did get two reasons culture and Heritage the Amendments the mayor has gotten consensus for may require amendments to the ORD those have not occurred yet we discuss it with the administrator um what it's necessary to do that um without a consensus it made no sense to receive with that now that there is one okay that will this cons what's based off of a reading I was cut off so fast that I didn't have the appropriate time to to make comments so I just want to make sure that was clear the council yes after yeah few things not the previous there's plenty of time for that so is so as to appointments that are made or not made we do agree though I want to make sure you understand Council for the culture and Heritage the current ordinance is effective and those ordinance that that's what I followed and so when I followed that suggestion for that code and then I got a response was what just hold on jar we're going to get to it that was the mayor's email that was not I was confused I want come with the consensus to to Amendment so I'm just understanding that this is going through a two readings and the other members can come and have time to talk about what a blessing the committee has that that can happen that is going to happen yeah yeah that's certainly there is no instrument proposed right now to make the change only a consensus right mayor correct so we there's time to discuss that I mean I I have not been authorized at this point I to the administrator I will discuss what if anything is need to change the ordi to implement the consent and was has there been since last meeting has there been any attempt to reach out to the active members of the the chair of Vice chair none okay thank you mayor um the administration report um I'll leave it up to our wonderful administrator um he has been awesome so everything he says I think will get way better for me thank you man okay just just one just what tell me to just no no I want to hear what you got for me no I the bottom line is that at this point we have a cons I just want to make sure I'm clear we have a consensus to go ahead with splitting it up the way I asked we will write the the ordinance to fit that and we will put it out for a vote right exactly with respect Jeremiah with respect to not interviewing everybody it's not my job to interview it was your job to interview all those people because you had four months to do it but you didn't interview me or ask to have a conversation with me either Jeremiah you why would I interview I didn't even get a response I didn't even get an email I did not get a phone response when I said please respond by answering these questions about these five people never got it when you finally came and you finally address hold it Jeremiah I'm speaking when I came here and I asked I said do you have anything to say on this I have nothing to say you had four months all these people are asking at every meeting what's going on what's going on it's not like we deferred to give you an opportunity to research it there's no mystery what all these people and myself were looking for when we got to that meeting there was no mystery we wanted to know what was going on and why you chose not to answer not to follow up which told me that you weren't really interested in it I did the research on my own because you did not and at this point the fact that I interviewed five people I'm not interviewing the three people that won I might as well interview the seven or eight other people that that left the the culture and Heritage at the end of the day I'm G to have the numbers that's what it's going to come out to is that people have left more people have left than have stayed for whatever reason and I'm not pointing at anyone in particular to say that they're the cause of it what I'm saying no I'm not Jeremiah what I'm saying is that what the way it's working right now is not working not not working at all you got a couple little things done fine but we're our argument here is not to tear things down or because you birthe it or whatever our argument right here and it's not even an argument the suggestion was made to split it up because this is how we're going to get better results we're going to put Heritage with the library where it's where they have they're ready to go they're chopping at the bit they're already moving on it as far as the cultural stuff it's part of the it's part of uh the recreation which the way I look at it right now you're part of it so make sure that when you go to these Council mtic meetings that you bring up what you want to see and make sure that it happens that I mean so you you you're trying to make believe everything got torn apart and nothing got torn apart it got split up into two units that that actually do this stuff to get it done better that's where we're at listen mayor it is what it is um I strongly believe that this was done in an unethical transparent ways how much maybe it's untransparent if you were showing up the meetings you would have been it wouldn't have been my liaison spot like requested even though it wasn't required of us liaison to apply to these meetings under mayor Madden's wring with why we're changing back to a council meeting I didn't need to come to these meetings but I still involved myself not once not once was there support or care for that committee that's fine everybody on there was amazing there's great people that are on there they are amazing and Mr Edwards the same thing he did great things and those thing there was just a bunch of disagreement that came out but there was no conversation just like this there's no conversation I would like a date of this email that you just made public that talks about our communication I would like this my opa's open check my private phones that we talk on that you email me on your private phone check Oprah everything I'm an open life I'm not I can tell you it's it's there's an email because attorney cour was copied on I would like to see this email because I sir have not has the Lea on I don't believe that there was I'm not going to argue with Jeremiah the counselor will send it to you because I'm sure he has it because you were copied on it and he was copied on it because I will not communicate to you without having a lawyer involved right so I'm not looking to here but I will the mayor did send email Jer I will send it to you is that okay yeah absolutely I just want to make sure there's no there's no you're talking about the four months but you're talking about when you're talking about this whole string of absis where there was minimal meetings and I was sick and there was things that were going on there was articles about that as well that I felt were like okay but I was sick because mean I did reach out there was communication all of a sudden there's an executive thinking let's photo to get this guy out of here nobody reached out to me let's let's open the phone laws nobody we're not your I'm not your mommy I'm not going to email you and reach out to you you're in charge you come to us but you're going to Mr Edward Jeremiah this is going to be cut off right now fine you'll get the email and we can go from there but I think I I we dotted our eyes and crossed our tees I can't that too far away it's your M yeah okay I'm gonna send it to Jeremiah and maybe you in the mayor can discuss this offline that's perfect okay I'm send this Jeremiah come up with your things put it in writing I not I'm just requesting I would like for you to reach out to the culture and Heritage leadership I think that's a fair request may I will reach out to the other two people and I will tell them what which way we're heading and they are more than welcome even been an offering of splitting it let's give them the culture let's give them the Heritage and let's transform chapter 19 into something like a community impact community so therefore we can still there's no discussion there's no discussion because you decide to discuss it at a meeting where have you been the last couple of weeks public officials man public officials like what's going on going on Jeremiah is that you're you're sitting there taking the easy way out you have to sit there and do the you're taking the easy way out you wait to the meeting where have you been the last couple of weeks where were you the last few months I I sent that I sent a reminder I sent another reminder I don't know why you're telling me I'm taking an easy way out it's not easy to talk about this in public it's not easy to serve with things that are happen Jeremiah you you thrive on the public why aren't you you don't you can't call me on the phone right I'm done yeah it's just nuts you can talk over me but I can't talk over you like this is crazy okay she can keep okay we'll move on you you're G to get your email and we'll go from there appreciate it okay councilman dinino yes I'd like to also thank Lenny and his guys for picking and I

very good thank you uh councilman Dodie yes mayor uh I have the monthly report for the fire department I think everybody got it La for January they had 50 calls that which means they'll have 600 calls this year if they aage that let's hope let's hope it doesn't come to that um just a couple highlights they put on here motor vehicle ACS are eight there was one structural fire they had arm activations say smoke detector activations unintentional malfunction there 16 of those um gas leak seven couple highlights that the chief would like me to have read in on the 1 at 5:34 p.m. 112 Mountain Avenue there's an open fire an open fire that's self extinguished no problem there January 6 Street 37 Edgeworth there was a vehicle fire right next to a detached garage and the vehicle was extinguished without any incident or damage to the home the ninth they had a uh they had a do standby because of um weather at that point when the storms was coming in uh link Boulevard to Mountain uh for a smoke condition they located moderate smoke condition that was coming from a fire hydrant that was struck by a tractor trailer that was on the 12th 13th Wilson Street responded to report of fire in the back backyard they located some more fire and was knocked down and the last one he wanted me to mention was Pier Pon Avenue responded to report of the tree that fell onto the structure structure and his utilities were checked and the construction official was notified okay we also went I know um council president Khan was with me we went over and had a meeting with them about the fireplace because the office of emergency management has been Manning a lot of the fire bus so there's was discussion what happens IE structural fire they can't be fire police their first duty is for OEM so they're tomorrow next week is their uh Board of fire officers and are going to try to change their bylaws a little bit so that you can join just the fire police because right now you have to be a full-fledged fireman to be on the Fire Poli so somebody like you or Mr M ex- mayor M if you want to be fire police just to go direct traffic which is a different school he couldn't even do it he would have to go to the fire academy to become fire police so they're working on that that's what's going on with that um I got the report too late from the court so that'll be next one that's all I have M okay very good thank you all right councilman Quinn okay so the County showed up to the board heal meeting um once again they made all sorts of promises yeah we're going to fix all the forms

uh finally executive session this evening will involve a discussion of Municipal real estate located um well known is block 265 Lot 25 and a report from our Council regarding L CR that it that's it all right very good thank you very much okay let's move on privilege of the floor uh for the record please state your name and address I'd like to open the I need a motion to Second all in favor all right Frank Bryan 303 Street Maple Street um maybe I didn't follow it tonight uh you were uh talking about promoting individuals or businesses I couple weeks ago I was talking to Mike conahan and he had brought up about maybe promoting businesses is that what you were in other words we got let's just put this way people families entities I mean part of it could be just the you know a department um basically items in Middle sex that we feel have been beneficial to the town long term I think talking I'm right uh I was under the impression I'm just picking Beyond these or the bagel place we've got a lot of nice businesses in town that I feel are worth promoting if there's a way to promote them this this is going to be part of it because we're it's yeah you know like the farmers market that's our downtown ex a lot of good businesses in there and I think they need a little recognition instead of going well exactly and that's what that's what the purpose of this is I mean we've gone a few years now without recognizing anybody for anything yeah you know including people that leave commissions that have been on there for you know some of the non non some of the other commissions where you'll have a member there for like 40 years and they just leave yeah and you don't hear a Peete nothing you know no thank you I think you already or the library um was promoting our veterans that beautiful out there a lot of people but I'm saying promoting individuals could be different than promoting a business somehow I don't know how we're we're going to work on that to figure out what's the what's the criteria we use to pick all right and then I don't know how I'm going to get away with this one but it seems like everywhere I go John Madden is showing up and uh a lot of accolades getting sent to him the other day called me up and he said are you coming to the meeting tonight I said why he said no we're going to bestow some another Honor on me I'm still trying to get my $65 back from that dinner uh and he said he got a call from the state John bramnick and I don't know if everywhere I go when I see him should I just turn around and and run because I it's just uh but it's welld deserved you know what it is if he's outside get him a Podium and if it's inside get him a Le turn unbeliev but welld deserved but I'm saying it's got to end it's not a fair it's like a farewell tour he doesn't go away all right all right thanks Frank oh and I want to thank everybody up there again I can sit in the audience that was my last thing to say it's easy to throw stones at everybody up there and but the time you guys spend away I keep repeating that away from your family the Committees it's an on 24hour a day job whether you're a councilman the mayor to do this and then tonight uh there a couple people supposed to come oh let me know let me know and then oh the weather's too bad well you guys all showed up how bad is the weather it's not so but those people will what happened and when and why so I give you credit for Vi there thank you Frank thanks cage 240 hawood I have a few things I want to ask about um it was a little unclear sitting here in your audience listening to the whole conversation about the cultural heritage um so I know you guys have a consensus of what you want to do and it's going to be done in ordinance form over the next couple of months or whatever that seem that seem that seems like we did I have to really look at I mean we'd have to change the ordinance almost certainly yes okay but you may not have to change the Ordinance one has to review it um one wants to one wants to know what the consensus is before we expend funds but whatever the consensus is will be done by whatever means okay um I want to make a request about you I hear a lot about transparency and wanting to be open about things some of the other towns that I've been to meetings at um you know you guys do a good job online have a packet has a lot of information about the resolutions and stuff um but I was wondering if you could uh in the future put a list I know you guys get a build list some towns like Watchung obviously they don't have the expenses that we do they put every single bill in in the packet it must be a lot of work for the clerk's office I'm I'm not asking to do that but I know there's you know sometimes when I've opened the bills in the past you get a sheet that says yeah this company psng is getting this you know we're paying this for water whatever um and it just has the list of the vendors and how much they're getting paid at that meeting do you think that is something you guys could do going forward at some huh we don't get it until today like I don't have it until today too late for the agenda right I mean we could obviously good I mean is it is it worthwhile doing it that way I mean one of the discussion that we're talking about she doesn't get it until today yeah the finance gives it to us tonight actually and and it comes and gets you know gets approved so Finance gives it to you the day of the meeting um normally we get it you know the packet the day of the meeting but it's not like when the agenda goes out which is the week you know like it was last week well taxpayer this not any way against you um that's a little concerning that you guys get the bill list on the day of the meeting you don't have RW it I mean it does get reviewed Dave I mean a lot of those bills list I mean they're they're they're pretty they're pretty standard I mean there there's not a lot of variance and usually the variances are asked about for sure right no I I agree a lot of them it's a recurring Bill and pretty much you pay it quarterly or every month I've seen those in the past but occasionally you know you get you get the one or two page you have two or three that stick out that really like wow this is like a onetime expense where it's a little bit higher than normal or lower than normal and you might want to ask about it so when do you guys get an opportunity to ask about that if you get the bill list on the day Mr Chism doesn't get the bill list till the day of the meeting when do you have a chance to ask about you can look at it right at the meeting you could look at it before a lot of times I mean for guys like myself and Michael the finance committee we're asking all the time I mean it's ongoing you know it's a it's an ongoing dialogue with the CFO and and everything else about any types of anomalies okay well again I'm not trying to I'm not trying to be argumented but I think oh I'm not I'm not taking it that way I'm just trying to tell you I mean normally in a in a course of business which is what I do we you know usually we report things back and forth I go I go through the the CFO or myself because I see a lot of the bills where I'm at and it's like I know what they are I see them all the time so you you know and in your mind it's like all right this is right this is right that one got to ask this one you know so you know plus when you have your conversations with you know with the CFO you would talk about is there anything popping up did anything happen well this broke that broke uh you know uh we needed one of these it was an emergency I mean usually the things that pop up that pop up that are or anomalies are usually I hate to say it for the fire department or the police department because either gotten an accident or something blew up or you know that's usually where the where the big ones are and and the nor noral ones or I mean you just see them I mean usually if you get an OB one for DPW us because they bought sand or they bought some uh you know some sort of Supply that they use over over a period of time so but I mean it it's not there on the day of I mean we get it the day of you could they it's a computer report you could print it off almost any time but I guess the the question is if you're if you're curious I I mean that the easiest way is it's not really practical to do it every time I would just open it if you're if you're if if you see anything that's out of out of the ordinary do that but you know then the onus comes on comes on the public to seek the information and I'm thinking if some of these other towns excuse me that I've been in can just provide the information why can't you guys just provide the information even if okay if you got I understand Mrs ch's point about the agend in the packet was out on Friday all right you don't have it then you got it today okay can it be posted tomorrow the bill summary from tonight can it be posted tomorrow can it be posted by fridy of this week somewhere I mean I I you know you guys talk again I'm not trying to be argumentative I'm just saying you guys are pushing for transparency you all talk about transparency this is a way of being more transparent something we could do I'm might be something we do like post the list it's just like you say it's a one page list I've got no it's more one page we upload it may it's it's sizable but a PDF it's right here mayor I I can that I meet with the um the CFO and and we'll see if one we can maybe get that build a little earlier and if not we can certainly look at how to post it as soon as possible I say I have a problem I don't have a problem with that it's not a matter having a problem with it because like you say my selfing taxpayer could over it but it's just like I said some other towns maybe I don't know how they do it or how what their timing is but I've been to some meetings and some towns and and I look at the you said watch watch I mean well we could take I me can you bring us one sure I mean they at times put every single invoice in there and I'm looking at it I'm like this supposed be a ton of work care care I don't think that's to put every Dave I'm sure there's some sort of Middle Ground that'll be palatable okay all right well here's my next item um no no um I know you you mentioned tonight talked about this being mayor mad talked about this um reinstituting the environmental commission which I think is a great thing I think if we had had an environmental commission when some of those high rises were going up on the boulevard were proposed maybe things would turned out a little differently but I was wondering what's their role going to be um because in other towns and I'm sure Mr corini could speak to this um environmental commissions reviewed development applications they don't have any say they can't re check that they can't approve it but they weigh in they say okay we think the drainage on this thing needs to be looked at a little bit more or is our environmental commission going be doing that type of thing so the environmental commission is statutory of which that is one of the statuto roles so yeah I I haven't looked at the ordinance recently Dave I will look at it actually right now but I I when last I looked um it was pared the uh the statute so yes so they will be able to do that when when the joint land use board is looking at a a site plan they will get a chance to look at it if they have any recommendations they would they would be added to the checklist checkl that's how it is in other towns that's a good thing and I'd add to that just so you know that the idea of the reinvigorated environmental commission is to also take on special projects and initiatives right well you know I've heard you know we have a Comm Community guard and this and that and I was hoping sitting in the audience that that they weren't going to be relegated to just that because I think like I said especially if you have people with expertise on it sometimes you know even if they say you know it's a joint land you guys should take a second look at this maybe you know I I don't think that's a bad bad no it's actually a very good one right right I to look at alternatives for drainage and other things that could be helpful right okay my last question um Mr L place has mentioned it a couple times at these meetings I've been at that he's going to bring in a speaker at some point in the spr to talk about ethics can you tell me who this person is going to be and and why they're coming and talk about ethics it's actually something I wanted to do because I know in my past experience in other communities it's been good from time to time to sort of have a refresher about local government ethics just basically you know every aspect of being a local official being a member of a board or commission being on a council um I see it as a refresher um and there's a speaker I have in mind I'd rather not say his name yet because we haven't signed him up yet but he's very good he's very an expert on land use particularly in terms of Ethics okay so and not just land I'm sorry but this this will be at a council meeting yeah we have to not notice it U because it'll be the full Council mayor and Council so it'll be to public be like a regular counil meeting like a presentation presentation will the public be able to ask any questions of this speaker I wouldn't think so I think it would be a healthy do have a dialogue and have you know answer questions I no problem with that at all okay all right I don't have any question any more questions thanks all right anyone else stepping up good evening my name is uh hary 3 Cleland Avenue miltown New Jersey I want to thank you all for honoring John M have know John most of my adult life and uh he's been a wonderful person uh everything that you want know bam I know also and uh I'm also

councilman to now yes councilman doie yes councilman Quinn yes and councilman Rex yes okay okay okay all right moving on to the agenda Workshop item uh number one Heather Lane property erosion um at this point I don't any update everything's ready just waiting on Lenny waiting on weather and Lenny I think it's more weather than now I mean everything's there just a matter when we're starting that's was was there any further damage from these recent storms I haven't gone there this last this last storm but I haven't heard anything so probably you're not right right my understanding is um engineering and DPW they have been out to the site the Bron we're hoping next week we don't get another snowstorm to start working there was a pipe that showed its face somewhere I mean they're thinking I think that was somewhere yeah between the two houses lot of time that's a storm drain a lot of times they'll run that off of like the gutters the problem too thick yeah it's it's probably from the old ranking F form I think I would think the problem with the PIP there is it's allow water back in too so they're going to have to do something with that yeah I guess it depends even do they know where it even came from It Go they they were ask the camera but where it is is hanging over the you can't get the camera have to hover there the camera you can't can't really if you dug back you're gonna have to dig back and then cut a hole all right so assuming it's it's cold frigid weather the next week I mean would would they I mean is it safe to say if it's not if it's dry and cold that they would start we would hope so yeah the biggest challenge has been uh the condition of the land actually across the river of Township for for accessing the site which has been very wet but yeah yeah it needs it needs to be dry even if it freezes though a lot of times you ride the you know the vehicles back and forth because they're heavy they generate a lot of heat and then you you get mud quick but we are checking it daily so okay all right uh number two pillars of the community um this is something that I basically put forward I think that we should get into what I'm what I'm looking at is at the first meeting of the month every month to recognize somebody something not 12 Awards one you know and then but every monk have one you know for someone that we deem you know worthy of an award and it could be an individual a family a business and or an entity you know you might say hey the just pick one out you've had someone on the the you know you had a group of people that have been on the swim pool commission for 50 years or something like that um so are we asking for recommendations from the public or are we doing this we're gonna I Envision doing it internally there's enough people here with enough background that if everyone submitted 10 names of individuals five families five businesses and five entities we can come up with one a month to get us through the year I would you know um Michael's been charged with finding us and appropriate uh award I guess to give out and I know you're you've been hunting them down so you know basically what we're looking for is is is a consensus that this is something that we want to move ahead with we want to we want to get it get the names in get it started for the first meeting in in in March would the stop sign crossing guard all these ways would that something I mean anyone anyone you guys any anyone you guys think I mean but I think I would try and limit it to more people that have given to the borrow other than something exceptional from a business like if a business donated food during a flood or something like that you know what I mean I I would tend to think smile in the morning a pretty good you know what I was thinking is that as far as like if you're asking me I would say if like at most you'd have a business one and three yeah you know like one a quarter I'd like to see it sort of be something for service to the bar rather than just some you know what I mean ex exactly like Frank mentioned before I mean like Beyond's been in town for long generation exactly so what I'm what I'm saying is that you know we have we have a year to lay these things out um I would I would sit there and say that there are some very long-term people that we should look to address you know just because let's you know know I mean we should we have a lot of people that have been doing a lot of things for a lot of years and they that's where we should start and I don't I'm not going to say I have any in my mind I got a couple but for the most part let's start with a list I would imagine if people think along that lines the the the the high Mark should come out pretty pretty soon in in the process and you can send them to me or send them to Michael send them to Michael he'll collect them he'll Cate them and he'll give us a the suggestions and we'll go from there all right so once again do we have a consensus that this is something that we want to do sure sure Mike Doug yes all right Bobby Jeremiah yes all right so we're we're all on board what would be the target date I would I I would tend to think the second meeting of March the second meeting or the first meeting of March Michael you think what do you think it'll we can make I think the second to be all set up if you don't mind F all right fun at least we got a plan perfect okay um privilege of the floor um does anyone have anything else to add at this point no all right privilege of the floor on agenda Workshop items uh motion to open motion second all right all in favor all right anyone have something to say step up to the mic give your name and address please agenda Workshop items only I can't believe you let this one slide by John can't believe it that's okay all right that's all right too late n n you had your chance to blow up like try the stuff box 7 John Med 39y Road two days ago was on Heather Lane and stunningly number five now now lost about 16 in of their backyard and he has rows of rocks like layers and it exposed two pipes the one looks like a ductile pipe which I think um councilman that's probably what would you say it could be anything drainage that won't set either a six or8 in pipe and then there looks like a PVC pipe on top but the point is five he Lane now is getting whacked again and you know each storm they're they're very concern so hopefully Lenny can do his magic with ppw and do the thing well it's not as we know we're just trying to stop the erosion I mean we still have to keep the pressure on the powers that be to to to do what there's they they tell us they're going to do well I I hope everybody can get those resiliency grants I think that's that's going to be the key it would be a it would be a help but you know the the the odds are you always hate to go there with your hat in your hand and have to beg for things that there supposed to be doing for us as an underserved Community well that's and John a lot of warm weather I mean the big issue now is Mother Nature that's right that's we need some help yeah so anyway that's my little contribution and thanks again thanks for the resolution real quick what Frank was saying again I am shocked to to get all these little Aces I got something Workshop items only I'm sorry talking about pillar of the community yeah you're right stock is Fallen all right all right thank you thank you mayor Meritus all right uh motion to close motion uh all in favor okay at this point we're going to go into executive session
