Fire Company um um what my Eagle Scout Eagle Scout project is going to be is to help the fire company and uh so they can locate these fire to paint paint these fire Mal crosses we need painting them so it's easier to um like see so they can uh spot the fire hydrants in time so so it helps them uh like spot the fire hydrant so they can go connect their hose and go uh help the houses not burnt down um um talked talked to Mr Sweeney about this um he says it was okay yeah he said he would talk to me um talk to Mr M about this um um what you're describing is the multi crosses are going to be painted in the street yes yes sir how far from the fire height 2 feet 2et outside of the curve yeah what color are they yellow Mr Schnider here is our city engineer do you see any problem with that no and I did check with the uh manual uniform traffic control devices and it's not regulated under that because it's not a traffic control device um but it is permitted as a way for um to assist firefighters okay so with the bright yellow uh thing that the firefighters will be able to locate the hydrant that much quicker and get into service that much quicker years ago people hadt around I don't know if there's any of them any more last around town you're confusing my way here with your way here this will be this will be um every fire hydrant just the city streets not like route n or County or the state roads I live on a county do you do you have an idea uh uh I know that the I'm sure the fire department at least my conversation is with the chief is they they have some sort of inventory do you know what that number is uh roughly like I mean is it 200 300 I need a map Mr Sweeney's probably gonna show me and like how many but I don't know yet do we have a timetable and how long you expect this to take right like it's going to be done in August so once my project starts probably one to two days no no oh that's not a right a check you can't keep let's say it's at least two to three weeks I mean honestly let's just say how many hyr could you get in a day you know let's say you get 10 let's say you get 20 a day if that's at least 10 days there's got to be at least I don't know 200 200 fire hyds in town or more you got any idea Mr Snider I would be guess but please don't don't stay one or two days you it could be 500 what um how will you do it do you a stencil to do it with all exactly the same same size and you'll spray paint yeah oh yeah okay anybody else have any questions I think by using a stencil I think they could do he could do yeah it'll go pretty

that you have to be uh withdrawn tonight because we don't even have the Redevelopment plan finalized I expected to have it done on Monday and everyone's schedule sort of didn't mesh so that will uh that should be coming up probably at the next Council meting because the name has already been changed out there it transferred ownership a while ago back in in uh spring of 2023 ownership change okay so was just simply a grand okay it used to be a OT Marriot marot uh that changed in one the instead Mar this is really all they've done at this point is Chang the name they're putting together a plan can I ask another question absolutely what are they building on M Landon Road behind the golf the golf carts that that I can't answer right now because that's not a resolution but our resolution but just briefly it's uh there's an agreement in 2008 of the city a Redevelopment project and there'll be housing also part and Par that okay thank you for answering my questions welcome thank you good evening uh Christopher mosus and I guess I and I guess I have a question um on resolution 118 yes yes so could you explain what the recreation trust fund is for and purpose the purpose of it for the income that's derived from okay so the income that's derived from the boat ramp where does that go where do the monies go once it's in the bank account what do it use foror yeah we can use it for rec any Recreation purposes or just for the boat ramp any okay I'm just curious why is it a boat ramp um trust F trust fund then it's it's a recreation is it where the money's derived from okay so I have questions about the bo ramp should I wait until the public portion no you can ask them now it's fine okay um so I used so I used to vote ramp regularly during the summer and you might remember that I overed some documents last year huh okay yeah I remember so I'm not I'm not against the collection of fees for the boat ramp I am against the design of the the gate for the boat ramp and I met I believe is that Mr shellcross I'm sorry I met with the recreation director about two years ago and we went over a lot of the issues that a lot of the people have with the boat ramp that use it regularly um the location of the the the gate lack of signage the lack of road safety paintings you know telling people where they can go where they can't go um also also the parking there's a lot of people that park there with mobile homes things like that it doesn't seem he gets addressed I've called the police several times because there were people that were obviously parked in the truck and trailer spot that weren't voting and there's a limited amount of spots to use and it's a heavily used location um so what I was curious is they are taking money from people I just got my key fob the other day from public works and I want to you know I like talking about the good and the bad and I appreciate how the council has treated veterans I'm a vet and I appreciate the discount all right so I want to say Kudos and I think Summer's Point's a very patriotic town to that to that end my concern about the boat ramp is the maintenance of the boat ramp I've been using it for probably seven years I have a charter fishing business I bring people into the town and I always recommend they go to the summer Point restaurants to eat rather than go back toan City so I try to you know benefit the town you know since have the boat ramp and it benefits me and I try to you know make sure everyone benefits from it how come the maintenance at the boat ramp is almost zero I don't see any maintenance done to the dock I believe there is a plan there is a plan I know we've discussed what needs to be done so yeah yeah I'm sorry I'm not no I'm not talking about JFK I'm talking about Route 52 that's the one that I use so I met I I mean I called Mr sha cross I'm gonna say about two summers ago um I took my time out of my day I walked him for an hour and a half around the boat ramp it was a busy weekend in August I believe um he met other people got a lot of feedback from a lot of pretty much angry boat ramp users CU I don't think anyone really agreed with the way the thing was set up they thought it was unsafe the way it was designed um and there were a lot of issues that I brought up like signage rules of boat ramp use things like that is anyone planning on following up with the recommendations that were made to the rec department I don't know I don't know that addresses everything that you brought up with Mr ch um and beond that else okay soare I'm sorry that I'm talking about the placement of the gate so the state design that I opened the documents to try to figure that out to be honest but I try to do my due diligence and I could not from what I understand Public Works unless someone has a better answer Public Works set that up no that's not true create inst okay okay um so I don't know does anyone here use the boat ramp like the location really hazardous for people especially if you have a 25ft boat or larger it's really tough to to make the turns a lot of people have scraped their hubs on the concrete block that supports the meters um I was kind of I wasn't really planning on coming here tonight but um I did quickly I saw that councilman if I mispronounce your name mcgean sorry about that you um were asked about public restrooms at the February meeting and what it says councilman mcgean will investigate the request I was curious if there was an update one bathroom this the minutes from the rec meeting so I'm just going off that oh oh at the recation commission yeah this was the recreation committee meeting minutes I think there's been discussions with regards to pter parties I don't know it's going anywhere yet right all right but we could have that you have that discussion so how do so how do we how do I get involved in the discussion or because the Summer's approaching we have may your your concern I guess words in your mouth your desire is to have a porta potty down there correct because there used to be one there a few years ago there was a porty PO portal potty there now the problem is I take people out on the boat for several hours they used to be able to use the porta potties now I have to ask them to use the water front Marina on the both for a couple hours I have women and children I understand and you're your uh certainly desire and and the reasoning certainly sound and certainly is down on the record so okay so I just curious so what what'll happen is I'll have a discussion with with the other council members as well as the city administrator and Mr sh cross and see uh right so to have a further that discussion and see if ultimately a porta poty could be put down there or or if it's mared okay so since February there's been no movement on that is because people have asked me I have a Facebook page and I just want to be able to say so there's really nothing set in St yet but as stated here tonight we'll have those discussions made your certainly have made a case for okay um and next the trash can well a trash can our our facilities and this is often on social media all our facilities are like all national park are car to carry out you create trash please take it with you we if we put a trash can down there and as I'm sure as an experienced voer you're going to realize that that trash can is going to uh attract every seagull within the shouting distance and that becomes a real mess right so and we had this carry on carry out policy for uh decades and it's worked pretty well that's on our on our Park it's everywhere and that's a national like I said that's National Park uh protocol as well so okay um so I guess really I'm concerned about the upgrades like the cleats you can't tie your boat up the to the dock and that's a basic safety you know Hazard I'm talking about Route 52 I don't use kened park is there just one cleat there there's I think two well I don't I think haven't been down there I was going to stop by tonight but I didn't but from what I heard because on my Facebook page someone told me that the cleats are still not there and that's that's been like that for two years I had to buy 25 foot of rad to be a we'll take a look at that it we'll yeah um and that's pretty much it for right now I wanted to check on the bathrooms oh I'm sorry there's one more question there there's always an issue of an discussion about who owns who who actually owns the boat ramp um [Music] um talking about 3 Jason State you know you know what that's there was a comment about jurisdiction and it said the state had jurisdiction over it so you control the ramp it's Summers Point Property okay all right because I just want if I could find it quickly it said it incorrectly in here it said that it was State jurisdiction in the minutes it was a state project initially right yeah and so there's um somewhat convoluted uh jural matri for everything down there okay all right so I appreciate your answers to the questions I'm not here to be aeral like I said I don't even mind paying fees for the for the dock because I use it I just want to see it maintained thank and and and traffic lines so boers when they come back um I was in the Coast Guard for 5 years I did safety training I was trained for a boater safety course guys coming off the water they've been there maybe theyve had a few drinks they go pull out of the boat ramp maybe their Vision I think we understand i' I've let you go past the way past our three minutes so I don't want to get that's why I thought we appreciate your comments and we'll definitely thank you thank you thank you motion to close the portion for resolutions so move all in favor any opposed we're now closed for public

on to Old business uh discussion of West Maryland Avenue street vacation so technically Mr I should have picked up on that it should be discussion relative to the implementation of a decision and recomendation resolution of the uh the zoning board concerning the uh construction of a fence on the back and of the property on vacation of the street and the developer uh has written to the city requesting a a clarification request as opposed to them being required to go out and they uh handled the installation of new fence in the back that was required by the DNR uh they have suggested that the city uh take over this and we build them for it and they pay it for so I just need some directions help respond to that and uh Mr Schneider can jump in if he feels it's Neary remain Qui I fence is already existing it was to replace the fence why do they want us to do it is it our fence I didn't hear you that's the uh that's the consensus I guess is that they don't want to have to do well think that it may be easier as a replacement I think they have to amend their DP permit if they have to because it's in the wetlands buffer so if we do it we don't have to amend any perit we can just do it well it's in kind I mean I have I would still file not I we probably still need to file an application to get clarification that okay so there would be effort on your part so there they're agreeing or they they recognize that it's not just the wire and the or whatever involved in getting the fence Thunders like we would like to call soft course they're going to cover all that including solicitor Khan and administrator KH they're going to pay all the costs incurred I don't think the uh administrator has cost ass well it only about1 he can assign some hours to it um uh that is what has been proposed we can we can if that's the direction you want to go in we can tighten that up but if you don't want to do that there's no reason for me to engage in a lot of discussion I need some Dire from counil as to what you want us is is there specific specifications for the type of fence that needs to be put up there well it was an odd thing I'm assum I'm assuming zoning the zoning board would do that you're dealing with issues that never even heard of but when they were here on the issue of the street vacation uh Mr lario mentioned the fact that there was a portion of the DNR that dressed defense was unaware of it um uh uh the fence located southern boundary of the property shall be moved at appens inside the property boundary should be located outside theate surve so the current fence is not in the right place or no this isn't there I'm sorry apologize I apologize if the ACC Street vacation is approved the applicant shall be placed the chain Ling fence at the south side of the property for the Improvement satisfaction Sun Point City Council that is located on properly currently owned by the city of sun point that is subject of the required Street vacation that one makes much more sense yes doesn't [Music] specify okay I just I just wanted some clarification on what type of fence had to go had to go up there I would just recommend that it be vinyl coded I agree with that what's the estimated cost for the replacement um I haven't gotten any prices yet but probably around if I had to guess it's fairly long it's probably around 10,000 why would we want to do this a lot of the posts have to be what type of uh what type of agreement would they enter into to assure us that they're going to reimburse us well it's just a letter to me that was the that was the nature of my question how you know how do we how do we guarantee that we get the money back we put the fence up in there to get okay you have to have uh do it all the time M well the DNR says that they'll replace the fence so do they have to have that Chang they have to go back and change that it replace replace I just need some Direction counil I I'm fine with us as long as we're going to get reimbursed that way I think we have we have control over the uh the quality of the fencing and things of that nature like the engineer said vinyl coded if they put the fence up there's no guarantee it's going to be vinyl coded I think there's uh there's a legitimate reason why we should they're requesting that we should take control of that uh f yeah I agree as and especially as long as there's an S account my only concern is we get into this and we find out as unforeseen situation to our engineer is going to know that yeah he'll research it and well the cost is going to be what the cost is until the end of the day so I'll also get a few quotes just to so we know what the escrow should be as long as all the as long as that's of course as long as the estimates are covered that includes labor too the material complete project sure tax well that um include they're going to be responsible for installation and maintenance last what this says and see we didn't we didn't include anything in the street vacation on this um this was just imposed by the zoning board well they're asking us to install it but mainten it should be on maintaining it should be on them we might we might get another the ratio yeah we don't want to maintain it well I believe it's our fence it is our so the maintenance of our fence would be on up I got confus think I would think You' be a onee guarantee correct yeah should okay so it is our fence okay all right I'm okay with that everybody's good with that y okay all right is that all you need Mr Smith mrar was kind of when I was reading the wrong yeah it's certainly confused me but pull his Bat Out yeah okay um does anyone else have any old business to discuss hearing none any new business to discuss okay uh discussion of the bills Mr Mr Frost

public comment please Sub sub second all in favor I any opposed we're now open for public comment good evening everybody John hellig 106 East STS um not to beat a dead horse or talk about this West Maryland Avenue job anymore than we need to I just and I would defer to our engineer one thing I think Council should be aware of they have submitted for their D permits they don't have their D permits they've been waiting 15 months it's a very contentious application so I'm just not sure that the city auto inject itself into that whole issue in terms of the permitting the construction I don't have a problem with if they want the city to run the construction let them get the permits you know that's that's how I feel about it they're already into this with the DP that'd be my recommendation thank you thank you motion to close the public portion so moved all in favor any opposed we're now closed for public comment may I have a motion to please make that make that motion second second all in favor any opposed Mr Frost can pay the bills are there any further comments for the good of the order from the governing body I don't know it's a comment I just have a question
