PUBLIC COMMENT, ANY TOPIC
GAVIN KOHUTE- 405 BURKE ROAD- he is organizing a 5k mile for an Eagle Scout Project for Life Scout Troop #204. The event will honor First Responders, and benefit Jackson Volunteer Fire Company. The event will be held on August 29, 2020 at Johnson Park. A scholarship will be given to a Jackson Township student with parents who are First Responders. Thanked Council President Sauickie, Business Administrator Wall and Joelyynn Anderson. He is seeking additional advertisement on this event as more runners and walkers are needed. He distributed flyers with additional information and signup sheets for anyone interested in participating.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT SAUICKIE- asked Mr. Kohute to distribute the flyers to those residents who are interested or he can place the flyers on the table for distribution. He stated this a great event that he planned and he is a fan of the Boy Scouts. Congratulated Mr. Kohute for trying to advance into the Eagle Scout, it is a great accomplishment. Thanked Mr. Kohute for this event benefitting the town and the First Responders.
COUNCILMAN BRESSI- stated it is an excellent project and complimented Mr. Kohute for moving forward to the Eagle Scout.
LISA GOMEZ-2 ROUND HILL ROAD- thanked the First Responders, and the multijurisdictional agencies who were involved in containing this party. The residents are used to a safe and quiet neighborhood. The attendees of this party intended to do harm and our town cannot allow for these situations to continue. She supports the Jackson Police Department and does not believe in defunding the Police. She wants a response instead of a summons in these types of cases. She expressed she felt fear in her own home and wants the council to address this matter.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT SAUICKIE -the Council concurs with the statements made by Ms. Gomez and the introduction of this ordinance will prevent short term rentals for less than 30 days. In addition, the Police and our Township Attorney continue to investigate in order to determine additional summons and citations can be accessed. Some violations were assessed the same day as they violated COVID-19 executive orders and were processed by the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office. He is confident that the Police Department and Township Attorney will seek additional citations. This ordinance was a decisive action by the council.
