by force or coercion and that is what is happening is a gross violation of your freedom and of the American spirit. One week from today you have the opportunity to reject that and hopefully start to bring New Jersey back to free America where millions of your fellow citizens still roam unencumbered. You wouldn't know it if you live only in New Jersey and don't get to see that but it is actually going on outside. Make sure everyone you know is getting out to vote and encourages others to go.

For the first time in two years we should have been encouraging kids to wear a mask this weekend. Let them have some fun this Friday. As the Mayor and the rest of Administration will host a safe and trick or treat here at the Municipal Complex. Bring the kids out let them have some fun have a safe and happy Halloween.

COUNCILMAN SAUICKIE - Thanked Councilman Borrelli for his kind words around the soil fill ordinance going in tonight assuming Council passes it.

He wanted to offer his Condolences. Stated that one of the highlights of 2020, which was a rough year for the whole world, happened on February 11th, 2020 where he had the honor of submitting and reading on the behalf of the Council and the Mayor a proclamation dedicated to Chief Prioli. It happened to be his 88th birthday and we declared it Nicholas Prioli day. He’d ask that everyone keep him in mind. His volunteerism and the fact that the man lived to be 89 years old and was walking home from a call at the Fire Department; it is just outstanding things and talks to the character the man. What he took when he read the proclamation of paraphrase was after talking about the time he spent within the Fire Department. He wanted to point out that as a family man as he married the love of his life in 1954, he grew his family to include four sons, five daughters, 29 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Stated that was as of last year and it may have gone up. To him that’s a measure of success, a life that is well-lived not only did he live for the town and what he did for the town but you know when you pass away and leave 29 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren that’s a good life. If you could keep his family in mind; he knows they’d appreciate it. He was a great man and he will be severely missed.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT KERN - As his fellow Council members already said and he would like to echo the condolences to the family and Station 55 family. He wanted to reiterate again how amazing it is that there's so many people in this town right now that volunteer their time, whether it be for a First Responder, First Aid, Fire, sports, to coach sports, to be a troop leader for boy scouts, girl scouts. There's many different things throughout the town all the different clubs as Councilman Chisholm mentioned there's many opportunities to volunteer in the town.

He is going to work with the Mayor and Business Administrator for next year during the food trucks and fireworks festival to set up a day where all of the volunteer organizations in town can be celebrated and also have a free table to come and sign up additional volunteers or different people speak about what their organization, does how they help and see if they can recruit more members because everybody's always looking for volunteers. There's many opportunities throughout the town to volunteer. Whether it's the Pathfinders or one of the other boards, please fill out a form that we have online and think about volunteering. He would like to dedicate that day to Chief Prioli as the example of volunteering.

MAYOR MICHAEL REINA - He thanked the Council for saying much of what he was going to say and the only thing that will continue to bear repeating is may Nick Prioli rest in eternal peace. He's a great man a tremendous asset and is going to miss him.
