what I have here okay uh from Fred Hill 25 Steven Drive Lor New Jersey when I asked you in the last council meeting if there were any or were if there were or or any plans to turn the Gloucester Township Nua property and the Gloucester Township ecological Center property into a Green Acres type protected land you said that no plans to turn the glosser township ecological Center and mua properties into a Green Acres would you please share on gler Township's public website and all your social media points my email to you and the mayor on June 23rd 2024 at 8:46 a.m. sharing the attached glosser Township Trail Network Phase 2 Cen County Bicycle multi-use Trail Network maps showing the Glouster Township ecological Center and Gloucester Township anyway property surrounding our known active State and federally protected GL Township Bald Eagles Nest from Lower Landing to the Timber Creek including all the gtmua ler Township ecological Center properties located there as they are shown on the map to be transform into a proposed green weight Green Acres with brand new multi-use trail that runs through the Gloucester Township mua and Gloucester Township ecological Center properties located there starting at clbd Road and glendorn ex extending past the Black Horse Pike again despite your claims in the last council meeting that council is not aware of the Timber Creek Eagles Nest on or near the gtmua and the gler township ecological Center properties and the Sprite your Council statement that GL Township does not monitor the Timber Creek uh bald eagle um bear with me population is clear now that we know that there is a approved County and gler Challenger plan to transform the gtmua and gr potential ecological Center properties into a Green Acres Greenway multi-use Trail land use can we stop using the GT mua properties and Gloucester Township ecological Center properties to wash and rinse pollutants into the Timber Creek area and begin to act in the best interest of the Gloucester Township residents and the Gloucester Township Bald Eagles Nest transporting the Gloucester Township mua and Gloucester Township ecological properties into the proposed multi-use Trail as seen in the Gloucester Township Trail network uh Mr has all the eges today so I'm just going to keep reading all the ovs and then answer it end how does the public gain access to Gloucester Township's 15c property public property located at block 1401 lot one and block 1402 Lot 4 are you aware it's illegal to direct storm water runoff from the gler township ecological Center huge piles of grass clippings that contains grass clippings into storm drains CS creeks and waterways is clearly stated on page seven of your summer report newsletter to the community and are you also aware that the gler township ecological Center storm water runoff from your giant piles of toxic grass clippings close every time it rains into the Timber Creek and the 6.87 Acres of wetlands the gler Township tax office says that the glosser township ecological Center sits on at a block 1402 lot three the GTA tax office says that the glosser township ecological Center sits on a total of 35.91 Acres with 6.87 Acres being wetlands this property dumps its IL legal toxic grass clipping storm water runoff into the Timber Creek and directly into our publicly owned land block 1402 La for which is public property surrounded by the gler township ecological Center and the timber creek with the only access to block 1402 Lot 4 public land being the gler township ecological Center so how can you run a business at the gler township ecological Center collecting tons of grass clippings from 24 local towns called the glou township ecological Center and dumping them on block 1402 lot three to be washed away and rining the storm water run off every time it rains that all runs directly into the Timber Creek wetlands and Gloucester Township public property at block 1402 lot four after you already admitted doing this is illegal in your December 23rd gler Township YouTube Dave mayor video about the glester township ecological Center and in your last two Gloucester Township seasonal newsletters for winter and summer on pages three and seven so I guess the real question is is the mayor and the gler township Council going to protect our Town's active State and federally protected active Bald Eagles Nest located at near the GTA mua property and the glou township ecological Center tur into a protective Greenway multi-use Trail as it already been improved and plan to be transformed into or will get you voted out of position voted out of position as a result your position that GL the township is not responsible to accept protect help or even keep track of the bald eagle population in gler Township or on Timber Creek were denying you are all aware that there are protected bald eagles and bald eagles nest at or near the gler township ecological Center and gler Township mua properties this is this is last this the last meeting it was but 19th this is resent you already read it I already but he resent it again 19 is there anything different to it no okay Mr Hill sent this question at our last meeting and resent it again um I'm not going to respond to that we we pra to responses last time uh Mr Hill is alleging that the Township's engaging in environmental illegal activities in the operation uh of a d approved compost site representatives of kingom County uh hasmat and the D have recently visited all of the area DP uh excuse me has been cited by Mr Hill and they have found no violations uh any efforts uh to protect Bal Eagles would be initiated overseen by the and not the township uh he made some assertions that there is a trail that is going uh through that area uh the GT compost site and property that's form that's currently leased by Mount construction is presently under agreement of sale with ferelli real estate holdings um there are no records of an existing bike path coming into contact with the AFF forementioned property there's no plain Green Acres projects involved in those Parcels that's all I had to add to that we will now open up the second public portion anyone wishing to speak please raise your hand the speakers entitled to five minutes there's 30 minutes total for the second public portion yes [Music] sir good evening Council Anthony calary Blackwood good evening uh what I want to talk about tonight I'm going to address to Mrs ALB Cher about some comments that were made last meeting um this is a a quote from you as a former Union president what uh in reference to somebody coming up and speaking about why nobody has comeing spoken with the employees about everything that's going on as a former Union president what I would have done is I would have had the shop steart call and request a meeting to find out what goinging on that's what I would have done it's not our responsibility I always took it on as a union and it's the Union's responsibility to find out what's going on and request a meeting with management to find out information and that's what I suggest they do so this is a letter from March 28th this letter is to serve as an official request to sit down meeting with you to director Gabrielle moscara who is the new director the sewer utility if your schedule allows it I would like to have a meeting on Monday April 1st 2024 thank you for your time bran it uh March 28th to April 1st I realize short time period okay didn't get a response to that one and ask that when she would be available so that's so with this letter some sort of response I mean wouldn't wouldn't if you get a letter was right by sending the letter right wouldn't you if you get a letter wouldn't you respond and and then we continue the conversation about the schedule or something like that so I didn't get any type of answer for that one this is to excuse me director Gabrielle mcara April 15 2024 the reason for this letter is to request a meeting with you this is my second attempt at trying to schedule a meeting with you I would appreciate a response thank you for your time I had Marlene harino who is the administrative Secretary of well of the SE utility she came to me and asked if I can put into a letter the topics I would like to discuss so the next one I'm not going to read all of them because not all of them pertain to this situation I'll just read the end so you have been doing what I suggested but you're at a point where you haven't had a meeting yet correct correct and what what was the reason that she couldn't have the meeting was it time constraints um so uh so I have a written response which okay doesn't really helped the situation at all the final topic I would like to discuss did you know when you accepted the role as the Director of the township intended to sell and why didn't you or anyone else come to speak with us here potential sale we've been kept in the dark since day one and now we've been left with this information without any idea of what's to come sorry we have several employees here with families to take care of and they use this job to take care of them the least that should have occurred was someone speaking to us to discuss what could happen if this sale goes through are there any intentions on moving the current employees to other departments and do they have plans of protecting employees through the sale should it occur as well as if the sale of the sewer department does not go through what are the plans moving forward you might not have the answers for the sales related questions but someone should come here and explain the thought process behind this to help ease the minds of the hardworking employees of the sewer department the response to that topic was from director mcara finally you inquired about my knowledge as director of the potential sale I am not involved with the exploration of the potential sale of the sewer utility system that's all I got to answer that was it not this Council that unanimously voted to begin the process to listen to bids to sell the sewer system a gos that's what I always recommended and that's what I did when I was a shop student I went to my BS and then the bus went to somebody else and I can't explain why you're not having responses that can't explain them so how come I'm sorry but I would hope that eventually respond to you in some of those questions that you had in a way just to give you even if she doesn't have the answers to give you some general knowledge of so you can take it back to your membership okay so how come you don't feel the council's responsibility to come talk to us since you are all the ones that unanimously voted yes for this because this this causes effects to everybody that works at at at the MU right and it's just at at a point now we're we're over a year maybe maybe not over a year but coming up to it and it's it's been since day one in the dark and it's at this point there has to be some sort of plan whether the sale goes through or not you had to have the thought of what would happen if the sale goes through and if the sale doesn't go through because if you don't if if you go you make a move like this it doesn't make sense not to not to think about the possibilities of what could happen regardless of when the vote is what happens with that vote I understand it's a vote but you have to know whether or not it's if it goes through this is what we're going to do if it doesn't go through that's what we're gonna do and I I see your point I also see the point that um it would be like you coming now to the president of something and saying I want to sit down and when you really should go through the steps but you have gone through the steps as far as I can see from the conversation that you're giving me now with the U letters that you sent and the responses that you have received so at this point I really don't know what to tell you because someone should have responded to you just personally someone needs to respond uh and not and and maybe not give you details because maybe all the details are very fluid at this point and you don't want to tell somebody something that's not necessarily going to happen because you don't want to say well you said that you to say what you know and not what you might be I would never say what you might be because I don't know whether it will be or not and I am understanding that and that that's the point I'm trying to make about the people up here we don't know whether it's going to be or not so I don't I don't know if anybody here can answer your questions like that the only thing we can do is respond to some of the questions that had there I think I I feel that you deserve a response to some of those questions thank Mr Cal thank you I'm sorry your time is up we have more time you can come back up again Mr is there anyone else yes [Music] yes Denise coin choose Landing it would be helpful if you call my name because there's people sitting behind me I don't know if you're speaking to them or speaking to me so that's why I'm not sure say yes who you meet yes okay thank you um after the last meeting I had questions regarding our trash contractor and I was under the impression that our trash contractor was Interstate Waste Services and so I went did some research and the reason I believed it was Interstate waste Services is because that's what it says on the township website and it says um starting February 2021 gluster Township will be switching to a new Waste Disposal Company Interstate Waste Services so that was as of February 2021 and then I went and found the resolution um which gave the contract to Central Jersey waste and recycling that was approved January 2 5th 2021 so I'm wondering why the resolution was approve for Central Jersey WT and recycling but it was posted on the Township's website saying that our trash contractor was Interstate Waste Services they share the same address Miss coin they I believe they're the same company and on our bill list the check goes to Interstate Mr cars you want to add anything to that no you're correct my recollection is it went from saltera to Central Jersey to interstate interstate was Services acquired sua in May 2022 well after these documents at some point it was Central Jersey okay well it still doesn't answer it still doesn't answer why the resolution says that Central Jersey but it's put on the website it's Interstate Waste Services it is Interstate that we send a check to is there a problem with your trash pickup no okay I'm just wondering why the documents don't match and why there's a discrepancy and why you know it doesn't say that our contract is with Central Jersey on the Township's website when that's what the resolution says Mr kmer if you could look into that the structure of the corporation Central Jersey Incorporated they're the same company and trash is still being picked up and they're still receiving our check is there anything else you want to add to that yes um the other thing I wanted to add was when we gave the contract to Central Jersey uh it's we increased the amount the bid amount from 19,38 to 19 m382 488 to 20, 973 988 which is a difference of roughly 1.6 million could somebody tell me why that occurred Mr Caris can you recall that process when we went through a bid process I don't know what she referring to can you provide that information to miss coin before the next meeting I've been looking into it thank you very much we'll get that information for you miss coin it's resolution 21 colon 0146 and [Music] um I also the lease for the commercial property says Central Jersey waste and recycling doesn't mention IBS or salt tariff so I just think it's confusing and I think that the documents and the website should match each other because then if I was sitting council member and I got a document later on that had to do with Interstate Waste Services and the resolutions are with Central Jersey I might not think the two are connected or they could be doing business as interstate vice versa it should say that don't you think well we have Mr car take a look at is anything else you like to that thank you thank you Miss Mr paloro yes yes good evening Council Ray pador from the historic village of Ariel good evening um as we've had in previous discussions we regarding how everything all went down with the MUA um we had inquired uh regarding conversations or dialogue between the comp controller's office and the township I believe if I'm not mistaken he said could speak on that because of attorney client privileg is that correct that's correct okay now I'm gonna ask a question regarding that U attorney CME privilege uh and that is is there any litigation going on between the township and the comp Troll's office Mr cor can you answer that yeah I'm not sure with the control office answer some of the reasons that you hire an attorney would be for protection for documents for inquiries litigation I'm just asking if we can rule out that litigation is going on between the cont controll office and my Township not there's n to my knowledge okay so it's a basic dialogue back and forth with the comers office and our Township regarding moving forward on the bid Andor sale at this point uh and yet you're moving forward putting out the bids would it be safe to conclude that that dialogue between the com controller's office and my Township is completed they had permitted the township to move forward to putting out the request for bids um I have not seen anything since that time period Mr Carter do you have anything else no they permitted us again to move forward they are reviewing all aspects of the vid process all documents we respond through our attorney to any questions that they have okay so if I can move further um let me start with what is the name of the attorney and Law Firm that is representing us uh with regards to the controller's office Hopkins Del a little Lou Place Hawkins Del field Woods okay um Megan s to as the attorney okay now are they also representing the township uh in guidance or legal regarding the bidding also is that the same firm that's correct okay to the best of your knowledge does this Law Firm have any history current history of donating to any political packs Andor campaigns within the boundaries of Camy County or Gloucester Township I'm not aware of Canam County uh and they have not provided anything to the local party that's my belief okay I'd like I'm sure you looked that up already but you think I know they didn't give you anything do you think I par questions I already know the answer go ahead that's possible uh Mr marado I want to thank you for turning up the volume on the microphone no that is the clerk that she has this nothing she just to amaz me about Nancy there's nothing she doesn't doe it's not the best but thank you for turning up the volume we even heard Mr kir and Mr clis tonight that's how magnificent that was thank you Miss Paris I haven't been here so my mother's not well but sorry can we have your name and your address please Paris in milber Department I'm going to start out with the Green Acres of the lake water over there at ver owned by Vernon Hill and it's polluted and if you can get in touch with Vernon Hill maybe he could save the Ducks and the keys from getting run over by the drug dealers and everybody that lives in there that is not taken care of by the police department because it's been 10 years that I've been following them and the homes that are buying now the drug dealers um on eight on 9 Milbridge Road and a couple CP other homes that are in our Township now when you blame and you change that document about blaming the parents and stuff and taking them under consideration um a lot of parents today can't afford to have one job and both parents have to work and I know that for a fact is I had to raise three children by myself and my kids didn't do drugs or anything and my kids grew up and they're very well everything is great for them but I had a son that got killed and decapitated by a drunk and a drug a drug drug person that was taking drugs back in 2001 at 19 so I mean to blame these kids and take them for disorderly conduct and then slap them on the wrist and let him go maybe the way you're trying to do this with smash rooms I mean when I read about that you're going to put a smashroom business in this Township where they go in with bats and crowbars and and break glass and break things for $30 and $50 what child can afford that I mean instead of taking them for counseling or taking them to play sports or putting them into a sports program and a camp what what kind of what kind of craziness do you know that the police in this Township that I talk to say they don't even know about the heroin uh gas stations that are here and the Indian gas station Stores um sell heroin gas heroin gas station okay my nephew who went goes to Highland told me about the gas station heroin that is sold and they they give it to the kids that they're underage anywhere from 13 to 17 so my thing is why isn't this stopped why isn't after 10 years that I did Undercover free for Gloucester Township with Corporal mlin and I know every single apartment in every single house don't I Chief Harkins because I did it free and they're still doing it and I'm still living here 10 years later which I'm leaving after this year I'm going to be out of this town I'm out of the state actually so you won't have to listen to me anymore but but I don't understand why drug dealers are still selling drugs hardcore drugs and synthetic drugs like flaxx which is bad salts which you can which you can lace in marijuana okay also the excelene which is a hes tranquilizer and that's why these kids are going so crazy they're acting like zombies and they're acting up at your carnivals and everything else you blame these kids because there's no parenting because parents have to work because there everything's so expensive anymore okay and then they go to these things and act up with their peers all right so maybe they have to have some type of somebody out there to help these kids in the school systems and you pay for all these other things pay for the them to go through metal detectors here why don't you pay for metal detectors at the school systems when the school starts up next year because they carry in knives they knife other children and everything that I've telling you I've been I've been witnessed it okay and so has my sister-in-law her daughter was actually beat up at the high school so there's fights up there all the time how come that's not out in the public anyway that's number one why who passed the marijuana dispensary at the TD Bank across from the apartments within like 100 feet when was that passed it just opened I don't have a time period of when that pass I was never I it was never at the meetings I look back at the meetings who passed it I can get you that no thank you I want that one also I need um one who okay the solar panels on up top of the uh uh want the year and who passed the solar panels on the top of the gems landfill we miss Paris we discussed that before no no no I want I want to know who did that also the state do they I called I'm I'm in touch with the EPA and the D and they said they did not do it oh you a contact person yes I do I'm I just want an answer from you can you provide that to me that contact person no I want you to answer me I have a contact no no no I will let you provide me that I'll bring it to the next meeting because I'm going to call them again and tell them that you're saying the state yes thank you also the ccmua yes told me that they have not checked the waters over there and the levels and the and the poison that over the gems landfill that mua who have worked for you guys for 30 years would do it and the state hasn't checked it for five years so you're getting rid of good people that do their jobs and would do a better job then then the mayor at American W that's why you're trying to bid it out and so don't kid any of these guys that are working and my time is up thank you thank you Miss bars is there anyone else seeing them CL public portion calling of directors Mr nothing to report Mr ctis nothing to report Parkins nothing to report Mr Mel thank you Mr I just want to say good luck to all the little leag boys and girls going request to win a championship and hopefully somebody from get have a great night be safe this is Al right TR wasy to as as concern a lot of children don't have responsible parents in whether they're working full time or not that doesn't matter lot of my son had respect for me and I have respect for him and I see a lot of respect has going out the window in society today so I was happy to pass this mainly because it's going to help our Township Police monitor situations and there will there will be consequences to these actions when they're negative and I think that's really important we can't just go around abusing the system and not expecting something in return negative way so hopefully this will help our Township not have any more problems um as far as groups of kids getting together thank you this Grace love I want to thank Chief Harkins the Jun committee and everyone that participated in J team uh celebration it was the first one it was an amazing time we all
