hearing none hearing none uh Mr Mayor uh what I have to report is that this Monday the 27th is Memorial Day we will be having our parade parade will start at 11:00 at dolls Avenue take about 45 minutes and then we will have a ceremony Park all are welcome to attend you know and uh I encourage the uh Council if you're up for it to walk with myself and council president in the parade and uh it should be a great event and I hope everyone can make it and that's all I have the report thank you Mr frosto okay tonight Mr Snider um I just wanted to see if anybody had any suggestions for um it's part of the Safe Streets the trans Grant along Shore Avenue Shore Road um we are part of the grant we're eligible to add additional bus shelters if that's something the city council is interested in um I don't need an answer today but um if you want to look around the only other spot that I know um that was discussed previously was at um Pleasant and um Shore Road right in front of the new um new parking lot new parking lot I did discuss the uh area with the developer and he's fully in support of it we have to extend the concrete a little bit but that's they said they would move some that Landscaping wouldn't be a problem the bus shelter would need to be a little smaller than the standard one because it's uh the RightWay is a little narrower but it will fit but that's the only one that I was planning to put in the plans but if anybody the other um which may suggestions what location was that Pleasant and sure right in front of the new parking lot where the so you need the space for it you just can't yeah it's about you need about 5T width at least I maybe there'll be one it' be appropriate to have one the at the bus stop in front of the urgent care I don't know if I a fit there but I don't I'd be happy to measure possible I think we looked at the Urgent car and we also looked in front of the library but I don't remember why we didn't Library is because New Jersey Transit needed a historic study to do it right okay yeah but um the mayor suggested uh right before you get to the crab Chop on Maz Landing Road on the on the south side of Maz Landing Road there's a bus stop there right at the end of the fence of the parking lot for the crab trop okay well that won't be that wouldn't be covered onto thisby Shore Road we'd have to see the nice thing this is we don't have to deal with new Transit and we five years to do it we can do it as part of the bid and it's covered under the grant so that's why I'm suggesting it now we want to get it done so everyone as you're driving down Shore Road um send your suggestions on if you think there's another cor how's that work so say we find a spot then we got to go to the homeowner or the property owner and we got gement to put that there or we got to work a deal or no we would try we fit in the right right now like I said usually as long as you have 5T and then 3 ft behind it for the sidewalk M um and we're still in the right away we don't have to go to the property over we wouldn't need eement so if it's a residential house and there happens to be a bus stop there we can just put that on the other side of the sidewalk if I'd measure first but yeah as soon there's enough room gotcha okay's if there's not enough room we would need EAS it but all right than that's it thank you Mr Smith you okay no you're not okay did you have anything you to I'll say something a little later okay we can't wait okay um does anyone have any committee reports to offer I know there's a Mr haror School Board yeah I attended the uh last school board meeting and a couple things came out of there uh kinata Brown will be filling the vacant spot on the board of education we do have a new principal at Jordan Road School Ken

suggestions to contractors uh operating in in the community here and and this is an initiative uh born uh in our in our Green Team uh discussions uh helping us uh obtain U certific certification through that program New Jersey substainable program uh but this is rather important uh because uh vinyl sighing has become so important and the and the composite materials that are now very popular with tax and so forth and in other phases of construction uh are creating these microplastics and we need to do something to control them obviously our waterways are very sensitive uh and we need to keep as much as we can out of that and hopefully this information only kind of resolution will get to work on camera and Spark to you know cleaner job sites thank you madam president yes I think this

other facilities in town that we can they could be out of sight they don't need to be uh stored in the future uh at City Hall that's all that's why we want to sell them that's why we want to sell them but they've been sitting out there for months okay and I don't think our City Hall Parking Lot needs to look like a an abandoned police vehicle lot or a junk yard and I think if we're going to in the future we should store them in some other location other than in City Hall if we want to take pride in our building thank you thank you president yes I um I kind of agree with you there Howard that uh

Summers Point uh this is a walking group that um I'd like to get started here in town would meet on Mondays at a different location uh each Monday and it's spelled out in the flyer the time would be at 8:30 the purpose is real simple is to promote health and create opportunities for people to pursue fitness goals while meeting neighbors um real simple group um to to put together just trying to get interest out the community for um events like this and and to get people moving and talking Rick asked me earlier when he saw this he said what if you had 600 people I'd say that's a win we'll figure that out uh that happen um looking for you know to see how many we can get out there uh we get regular people out there to help us uh you know have people meet their goals uh hopefully this grows maybe we could get some things going with the hospital for Fitness talks and things of that nature but uh after Co we all know a lot of people you know kind of took shelter um I think it's up to us and beho us to get people out and moving and have recreation activities for all of our citizens this light exercise so I hope everybody uh will join with me in uh getting this started and promoting it so thank you anyone have any anyone have any questions or suggestions from Mr aorn I think it's a great idea it's a good way to get out the public get people out walking cuz I know you love to walk all over the place so that's right but uh I think it's a great great idea can't wait to take part in that are you going to have a specific distance that we're going to no I really think what I'd like to do is uh you know uh put together a path you know based on these um on these Gathering sites and then you know if somebody wants to walk 10 steps and come back that's up to them but um you know I think we'd have an end point that's legitimate maybe a 30 minute walk and again after that walk's done and people want to gather and do some more walking together that's great I I just I don't want to make this a thing where people make it a competition or everybody thinks they got to walk for 90 minutes um you know I want to really make this a community activity okay um should we have some sort of subcommittee to help you with this I'm hoping as the Bo gets out uh I know Mr mcan's helped me a little bit here with some of this maybe he'll be part of our subcommittee uh I can't walk that far you can just jump in cold water but uh know no there there are longer than the campus but no I've had people reach out already and I you know once it gets going I'm hoping this thing is a Grassroots thing we can answer all these questions once we see how many people are out there what type of Interest it is I really don't want to put a lot of uh uh rules rules around it because I think you're taking the right approach and and I think that this type of program and and I have a couple things coming uh behind this that it it this is critical after we we've gotten Beyond this pandemic and and people and I'm not going to philosophy but there's a lot of depression out there a lot of anxiety out of that and a lot of people are trapped in their homes and this will help get them out and this will increase happiness and that's uh you know that's really you know a great goal and a great thing so I I applaud you for this initiative thank you thank you okay I agree sounds great Charles appreciate the initiative all right thanks Mike okay we need approval for a New Jersey firefighters application for membership for Bryce Edmonds we always welcome new volunteers and our fire department we appreciate anyone that steps up absolutely y uh discussion of the bills Mr Frost sure so this evening we have a bill list in the amount of 3,632 673 and thank thank you I have could I have a motion to open for public comment please make that motion second all in favor any oppos we're now open for public comment the only did she leave she left okay thank you I'm Nelson good evening I'm from the tribe of Asher I live in Ocean City on Central Avenue I spent almost 600 days in city county and state custody against my wishes as a free American city of Summers Point has been asked to clean up ocean City's mess judge freed sent me to jail without asking me any questions I was sent a I was picked up on a warrant that wasn't properly served I never got notice of it officially I spent 59 days in the county jail because I refuse to give jurisdiction to the martial law flag and I know it's going to sound like Patriot myth fine let it I've got proof and we'll see at the end of the day what happens I'm currently in court sitting here uh against my will cuz who knows what he's going to order the next time so uh the prosecutor has no oath of office okay on file judge freed says the one from 2013 from Atlantic City is valid for her to operate in your city I disagree okay I think he's trying to cover himself and let me tell you two reasons why could somebody tell me when I have 15 seconds left please yeah we got it okay because then that way I don't feel I'm not offending you with the time problem thank you we appreciate that yes um so uh I forget where I was Judge freed oh yes Atlantic City judge Russell part who is part of the behind what has happened to me uh with the Chiefs two different Chiefs of police one who's been uh asked to retire now police officer who sat here I say made false charges apparently he's lost his job removed and re sign point being is if it's not me if what I'm saying is true the next person also is going to have a claim against the city if she's not properly oathed okay also the city solicitor does not have the proper oath what they'll say tend to what they've said in the past is that oh I took the I swore when I became a lawyer years 20 years ago sorry if they're working for this municipality they've got to have an oath of office under New Jersey statutes to the Constitution I saw miss the new woman Heath I believe wonderful she's look going to be a great great u city clerk I presume but she will have to sign the oath that she took T already done so so I'm asking for uh someone from counil or the mayor to get evidence does the prosecutor the a dozen cases a week need an oath of office to support this Constitution under New Jersey statutes not the one from Atlantic City so my point about the judge was he had when he gets reappointed in Ocean City guess what he signs another oath same judge same city so why does this prosecutor not have to have a proper oath that's how our founding fathers said the only way we can keep the people free from being uh attacked by government not that I mean all it's all what in your hearts what's happening but when an evil heart gets control and power you know what happens they send me to Ancor for 6 months just cuz I refuse a lawyer public defender that's what happened so you got your this City's responsible for 59 days at this point of my life that's all for thank you for your time any questions no thank you thank you Nelson and I hope your walk goes well exercise is good appreciate your time thanks it's close motion to close please yeah I'll make that motion second all in favor any opposed we're now closed for public comment I have I have a motion to pay the bills I'll make that motion second in favor I I I any oppos okay we can pay the bills with any further comments from the governing body okay hearing none we'll take a five minute recess and then we'll go into executive session interesting you get your note I don't know why must sorry IED you just like that
