again to all the all St [Music] yeah done with that am right EX the don't okay we're going to continue uh the meeting uh we going to do the department head memos turn it over to council president lanes and nothing's effective there's NOK spots remov nothing adjusted if anything reducing the size of the driveway so I see I would like to recomend that this curve approved this curve request approved it's second request I IDE from the I made a visit to properties as we custom it's our C to do that just to make sure so when I visited I um realized it's a corner lot and actually it's actually takes up the whole street so to the right side there is a curve cut that enables a garage and then also a parking spot where car wask so um I looked at and our professionals letter and we only allow one Cur cut per home so actually allowing a second Cur cut and removing one on street parking is not something that the council would like to entertain um that what have be over coverage so I that the council not approve this at this moment and allow it to go forward for a VAR that is what the Cent again only because two curs in a home are not allowed by our ordinance so we would be setting a street never so you're making a motion for denial this time I think that um I don't recomend removing a parking spot and adding Cur CS to a home uh know when we do public participation you can y i there or not aware of I don't mind it but at Point from what I it didn't showon for us to ENT it because it violates our no sorry you gotta wait till public participation sorry so can I ask a question myself then is this Construction come backs reloc so we could we could make a motion then to table this so let's do that until you guys go to the board I'll to table this I'll okay thank you council president Crowley and let's get to committee reports Council test sent summary and some numbers so I will get back tonight okay so let's start off with Okay so our permit activity report year today permits issued are 188 updates process 44 certificates issued 190 the uniform construction code um we have about 110 open violations um during this transition period the building department has been actively reaching out and working with property and business owners in an effort to gain compliance and clear a backlog of open violation and penalties they have been employing a generous reduction or elimination of penalties in order to satisfy the concerns of the residents and encourage compliance the application process they are now working on the backlog of about 38 denials for uniform construction code applications they are contacting applicants to determine what is needed to move their applications along or dispose of the application if they are choosing not move forward with their project overall status there have been no adverse effects on property or business owners during this period um Brian has um they have adjusted their schedule Brian um to provide additional early hours starting at 7:30 a. to the public instead of the usual 9:00 a. this allows the public and the contractors the ability to stop in on their way to work or the job site um they're making the office more accessible to the public by providing additional time to set appointments and increase walk-in hours from the typical 1 hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon um this will provide better service and experience within the department he's working with the staff cross training them in various aspects of the department so there's no laps in coverage and the information delivered out of the office is consistent um two of our staff members are currently attending flood plan prep classes okay so for our rental inspections we again this I'm just going to give straight numbers um the applications we have 412 total inspections 371 initial inspections 324 reinspection 47 47 right now we have currently 355 seasonal and 57 annual um so far the fees collected are 117,000 $600 fire safety activities we are working with the fire department and multiple business owners to identify and address light safety system deficiencies for example sprinkler alarm kitchen systems um fire safety inspection statistics they've collected about $25,000 and I'm not going to go into all those details because there's a lot but mertile license uh 411 sign applications 18 applications vacant and aband in um they've collected over 18,000 and there's eight active properties grease traps 57 applications 24 pending 13 pending payment zoning issued 98 and denied 29 so overall they're doing a great job thank you to everyone in the building department thank you to Brian and thank you for this detailed report um if you have um more specific questions or you'd like to um know more about this report you can come up to me and I can go into more detail because I know I just threw a lot but just as basic overall so again um I'm available and the building department is always available for any of your questions uh so that's that and just real quick um Arts committee so um I just want to briefly mentioned um christe Montella who um is one of my friends and um is a dear person she had uh joined the Arts committee way back when about four years ago when Paul was the mayor when he first created and she you know he needed someone and she stepped up to the plate to to run that and she has done a fantastic job and sadly um she has steep down and I just want to personally say thank you to all the hard work that she has done over the last uh four years and her dedication um she's given 100% of herself to putting on great events and you know just making sure that bringing um good things to our community and having everybody involved so I personally want to say thank you to her um she was one of the people that really pushed to have the farmers market and um you know we had our first um Farmers Market um on this past Sunday and you know I just want to say thank you tonight I feel getting on to that segue into that um we went I thought it was excellent um it was you know great vendors I know that there was some positive um feedback on how you know how we can move forward with some so there were great great feedback um so we're going to look into those things um I'd like to say thank you to the police offic that were there that were walking around they were so nice um a lot of the there was no place to go to the bathroom so that was a big concern and they went to every single vendor to tell them where they could go um I believe it's going to be next week are we having a Portage on there or um what's the status with that so when we had last met with the Arts thek committee they had said they weren't going to have a bathroom became an issue okay so all right to have I think we should because they would have they literally have to go across the street to go to other uh businesses and I just think it's not convenient so if we could work on that or look into it that I think that would be excellent it's not a problem all right awesome thank you yeah and um thank you to our volunteers that day uh Jun kuzo uh for being there setting up the list um I signed up for one day so thank you um and yeah was it was a great success and and I'm looking forward uh to going um and if you haven't definitely check it out I got two big

great vendors I as well spent a ton of money on just getting all the wees and stuff and the products it was really good um the mayor's Wellness campaign has arranged for committees to come in and kind of work the farmers market so I think that's a good exposure for the public to see the Committees and the Committees to talk about what they do in town so hopefully we can get more volunteers to come out and volunteer at our committees uh we are finalizing plans for a wellness Expo in June and two summer camp projects uh with wreck uh offshore wind again we're we're keeping a close eye on that uh we're drafting comments for the Atlantic Shore South lease areas uh which is one project in two separate lease areas Atlantic Shore South one and Atlantic Shor South to so Kristen oror really is involved with that uh and her and I talk uh multiple times a week on this so we are keeping an eye on this um I do want to Echo the statement by Council on Christy Monell's departure uh Christy was a huge asset to the Arts committee uh as well as Just Around Town helping out um sad to see her go uh we are I am going to work with uh Christine o to kind of redo revamp the volunteer experience here uh try to figure out ways to get more volunteers to come in um and maybe you know set some new documentation up and stuff like that I know she's working on anop document uh for chairs and stuff like

after Veterans Day uh just so we could salute our military veterans and thank you to DPW for putting those up uh 150 offici uh on the agenda tonight 1C uh is the appointment of several people to the Mount Laurel committee uh for those who don't know Mount Laurel committee is the affordable housing committee uh the state New Jersey just passed new regulations uh that we really need to take a look at and investigate further so uh it was on council's recommendation that we put together committee uh I chose counc in councilman p uh based off their their extensive experience on the boards uh councilman P has been on the board of adjustment for several several years uh but not only that he born and raised here he served as mayor served as counsel he knows the town uh and I think his knowledge and insight will be invaluable on the board see and counil Ros who served for a very long time on the planning board but also has you know his his full-time job as hotel management so he knows and stuff like that I just want to make it clear to anybody out in the audience or up here is that I I didn't pick my people um I picked people that I thought were good for the position and good for the committee and that's the way I'm going to continue to appoint people is people that are the right fit for the committee so um that's on the agenda tonight hopefully we can get that passed uh we just went through the uh antiemetic training would stand with us uh it was about an hour uh the woman Carly was was excellent uh I did a lot of research um in the past few months when when incidents have occurred uh and you know I read a lot of Articles uh took in a lot of information but to have her uh presented to us in a way that she did uh was very valuable to to me personally and I think uh most of the governing body got got a lot out of it um I thought it was very informative I kind of opened my eyes to to to more things on the uh you know how we treat people and anti-Semitism so I want to with us and Carly who came out here from Alaska so that's pretty crazy uh and just want to talk about three quick events happening in town this Saturday the Memorial Day bike parade uh 9:30 a.m. meet in the foreshore pool lot off of Arnold uh and they will do the Memorial Day ceremon follow right after the parade party by the Sea uh is May 30th from 6:30 to 9:30 at the lobster Shany and battle of bands will be on J 8 I know Rec just released the uh lineup uh we have I think 10 or 12 bands it's going to be uh it's going to be great we have uh some uh trying to get some celebrity judges I think we're working on that uh we have the rat radio station will be mcing uh and we're GNA do a tribute to Chris baz is from town uh the Greeks uh and we're GNA do a tribute to jul Lo who uh was tragically killed while away at college so will be there um so it would be it would be a really nice event so hopefully everyone come out with that and that's all I have I have a coule I want talk and the agenda one of them is Chargers I had a little hiccup with Kevin for like two years on getting this move forward we had a gr for this and we can can pick up like 30 credits for Su Jersey for Ev Chargers um we went out to bid and had to go out to bid a second and yest I did get proposal I accept the proposal for flow Services USA subject to the grant was 75,000 and the proposal to and given that we don't have another meeting sometime in June I've been going out for quot painting one is for here at ball from the entire exterior we had I had quotes one came in at 484 one came in at 467 and one came in at 426 there's provisions the bath house um I end up having to this is at I also received three quotes to rept um 426 419 39 but then I also received a quote to have it sided withon siding 39re build 4000 and I would to attend to prob years when we bought the building of to original contract to grq not to exceed 40,3 with about the ands along Chicago right kind of I said wouldn't it be nice really if you have a a grandfather his grandson sitting there with a fishing po right off that little space there so Christine comes up with this photo from from an image that she has from a postcard and the postcard can pick that exact image it's nor Rock St but we can't achieve that because there's a there and so I mean if you really think it's a safety issue just take at that Chief have we had any accidents there if you go over there's a SE had jural issues they were going to come back and take days wonderful thank you very much can I can I um just ask I know we had talked about it I just want to um about the resident on New Jersey we had talked about possibly putting up um the um oh a guard rail guard rail I just um so for the residents out know I'm sure you've noticed the house that's on New Jersey 35 the fence was taken out and then on the front of the house um so she had sent a letter to the council mayor and um it really moved me I had I spoke to her um she was literally sitting in her living room when the second accident happened she thought the car was going to go right through her um front living room and there used to be a guard rail on 35 and I think after Sandy it was taken down so I told her that we would definitely be on top of this and you know you know safety concerns her daughter they moved down here to retire and for Mother's Day her family wouldn't come down with the kids because they were afraid that they would be sitting in the backyard and a car could potentially go through the thing so I spoke to Christine real and counsel and we're just trying to you know what we can help her I I told her that we will do everything we can to make her feel safe and so I was going to um you know make a make a recommendation for us to look to put the guard rail back up there or even councilman Gan had made a suggestion it would be on her like putting a rock you know one of those real nice rocks like on the corner like a boulder on top and the guard rail but that was something that you know we could discuss with her but we were just trying to think of things because I don't think a light would necessarily work I know there would be some push back on that the only other thing I thought of is like I know we have a stop sign and again maybe you can have stop sign with lights but I know the residents over there my other suggestion was we could talk to the residents on that street and get their feedback as well what they would like you know since they live there right and I yeah to do when I I asked them I cop update on the proti for a long yeah and that street and that street yes and that street is very unique because I I drove up and down 35 to understand why and if you look at all the other side crossing over the guard there's no throughway and then St Peters is a oneway and the other Street has a light that is the only street that is like that that to get through so this is the only canest one of the Reas theyed trff that unless Bradway you have to stop at Lake before you can cross we Chang the entire flow of form an to one way this way change municip we ched I know there's a lot of drawbacks speeds as well well I think if we could start with a guard rail if that's a possibly looking at it that would be great theed as well I talked to a few too and I think a lot of them are for it I mean you know yeah we'll
