COUNCILMAN BORRELLI – Congratulated the 10 new Police Officers, wished them all the best in their careers, thanked them for dedicating their lives to keep our town safe and secure. Stated that Mayor Reina and this Council has their back and wished the Jackson Township Police Department a happy 75th.

He recently read that Jackson EMS is helping some Ocean County towns and areas up North in our State that were devastated by flooding caused by Hurricane Ida. Our town’s EMS answers the call when there’s a need anywhere. Stated we are fortunate to have dedicated and selfless EMS, Police and Firefighters. He thanked Council Vice President Flemming and thanked all who serve.

He stated it was an honor this past Saturday to be with fellow Township Council members and join our town’s residents and dedicated first responders at 9/11. Remembrance ceremonies at Jackson Fire Station 55 and West Lake Communities clubhouse were beautiful tributes and reflections we never forget. Thanked Chief Carson at Station 55 and Harold Lazan at Westlake for the invitation.

In closing we are busy finalizing plans for Jackson Day on Saturday October 2nd from 12 to 6 p.m. at Johnson Park. There would be fun for the whole family including food, beer and wine, music, rides and all kinds of vendors; to encourage our fellow residents to attend. He hopes that there is nice weather for it; there will be a parade in the morning right before Jackson Day starts. In light of the year and a half we as a town would like to honor and recognize doctors, nurses and health care workers by inviting them to walk in the parade; if you work in the healthcare field or know of someone who does or someone who like to participate in the parade, or if you belong to an organization like a classic car club that would like to be in the parade please reach out to Officer Basso at mbasso@jacksontwpnj.net. If you would like to be a vendor at Jackson Day there is still time to sign up for it by September 24th preferably please email ksevcenko@jacksontwpnj.net or you can contact the Recreation Department at (732) 928-1200 at extension 1255.

COUNCILMAN CHISHOLM- Congratulated the 10 new officers and he wished them a long and healthy happy career here in Jackson in services to our community. It is great to see the force growing and it's great to have them out there on the streets.

He echoed Councilman Borrelli’s comments about the September 11th ceremony over at Westlake and over at the fire house; they were very moving and a great tribute to those we lost on that day.

He would like to bring to everyone’s attention that this Friday September 17th is the 234th anniversary of Constitution Day. Stated it is one of the greatest documents in human history outlining the freedoms of mankind. Encouraged everyone to read it and if you have not, re-educate yourself to those documents if it’s been a long time. Show them to your children and read them to your children as they do not get those in school, unfortunately. We are very short on civics classes these days. He looked to the State and Federal elected officials to read those documents as well, which they are sworn to uphold. Call and contact your elected officials and let them hear from you.

COUNCILMAN SAUICKIE- Thanked the Mayor for the proclamation tonight, they both know families that have lost children to childhood cancer in particular the Olsen family here in Jackson who lost their son Chase; he thinks with incredible advocates for childhood cancer and certainly help paint the town gold. Thanked the Mayor for taking the time to put that together and read it.

Congratulated our Police as Council President mentioned he was also taken notice on the number of folks that have graduated from Jackson’s high schools as a fellow graduate of Jackson Memorial, it was great to see that and for the parents in the audience you’ll understand he felt old and it’s surreal at least one of them being a graduate of the class of ‘19; which is the class his oldest daughter graduated in as well it hit home for him. Again what a great group as the chief mentioned over 100 for the first time 105 total officers now. Which is great for our town and for the size of the town and he said that our Police are second to none in the State. You should have been feeling the safest you’ve ever felt tonight with that group in the room.

Page 5 of 38

Last item he had mentioned was the 9/11 ceremonies; the one at Station 55 in particular was great. Stated if you don't know, Chief Carson actually started years ago doing a walk from Johnson Park roughly 3 ½ miles to Station 55 that was him and one other individual it's grown about 50 this year and his expectations are it'll continue to grow; something to keep in mind for next year if you want to be a part of something it's a moving tribute that the Chief and the company do. It was great to be there and an honor to be there other stations in town as well as outside of town were there as well as residents.

Another community event and not only did they honor the fallen from 9/11 but they also had a very nice memorial for the 13 soldiers we lost in Afghanistan. Stated great job to all of them.

COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT FLEMMING – Nice to see a bunch of people instead of our usual crowd.

Congratulated our new officers; it was great to see Major Applegate and talk about feeling old I’ve heard Sherry pulled me over a couple of times.

Jackson Day there will be tables there for volunteer organizations; he knows the Fire Department will have one there would imagine the investors are going to have one. Think about joining everybody needs your help; we need volunteers it is a dying industry unfortunately but it’s not something we can do without. It is not something the township would like to pay for. Think about joining some of our volunteer First Responder organizations.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT KERN- He echoed his fellow Council members' comments on the 9/11 ceremonies were absolutely first class all the way through. That is a time and a day for remembering those that we have lost. He keeps Mayor Reina in his thoughts that day and the rest of the people that were lost. It's very important to remember how many were saved. There were 17,000 People in the World Trade Center Complex when the first plane struck and 14,000 were saved. That's very important and that's why we have such respect for our Police Officers here and that we added tonight and for all our First Responders here in town.

MAYOR MICHAEL REINA- Stated that many of you know September is probably one of his roughest month’s family wise between pediatric cancer and 9/11.

Tonight’s ceremony with the 10 Officers is a commitment that he took with him before taking office, and that’s to support public safety and the military. You look around Jackson Township you’re surrounded by heroes every day, and unfortunately we don’t thank them every day like we should.

Based on everyone’s comments tonight it comforting to know where Council stands with him in the support of our First Responders mostly Police Officers and Firemen, not taking anything away from Mr. Couciero; who has done a marvelous job with Jackson First Aid. He thanked him personally and you know that it comes from his heart.

Jackson Township is changing as it is the need of more Police Officers and Council Vice President Flemming's request for more fire volunteers. He is sure that request could be echoed through many towns, but Jackson's our town. Those of you listening, those who are here, if you

know somebody that wants to volunteer or help in anyway; you know the Township is going to appreciate it. Remembering all those lost on 9/11 and moving forward hopefully we won’t leave anyone else behind.

JANICE KISTY, R.M.C. TOWNSHIP CLERK

SHELDON HOFSTEIN – 48 BALTUSROL DRIVE – Questioned the Council to consider passing a resolution requesting that the State legislature to take back control of affordable housing.

Council President Kern noted that the best way to obtain those changes would be to change the elected officials in the legislature through the election.

Mr. Hofstein also asked Council to consider hiring an attorney with legal expertise in religious land use in order to represent the town in court in the continued challenges to our ordinances.

Attorney Greg McGuckin had discussions with Council and he provided them with that information and it’s being considered.

Mr. Hofstein next concern was based on Article 3-2 paragraph A and Article 3-17, additional powers of the Council. Our laws are being broken and while our ordinances are not being followed. He wants to know if Council can do something about the people who are not following the rules. There are citizens who do follow the rules, but there are also those that are not, and he called upon Council to do what they can to stop that.

KORI SARGENT–26 CEDARVIEW AVE- Thanked the Mayor for his comments about supporting First Responders and Military.

Mr. Sargent wanted to raise awareness of a situation occurring in his Whispering Hills neighborhood. Codes are being violated and broken at two residential homes that recently

Page 37 of 38

changed hands. It is his understanding that one home is being used as a house of worship and another home is being prepared to be a school. He believes both the Police and Code Enforcement departments were notified. Buildings are used against Township Ordinances. No response with their home owners association. He asked for awareness of the situation and for it to be addressed.

Mayor Michael Reina thanked Mr. Sargent and the other first responders for their service. He went on to state that something has been out on the streets through the wavelengths for quite some time is that his office is open five days a week for issues such as this people come through the door constantly to talk to us and let us go on what's going on, whether we want to hear it or not. It's our responsibility to hear it. He wants to hear it from the source. He gave an open invitation all of Jackson Township that the Mayor's Office is open for business; you shouldn't wait for a Council meeting or when the Meet the Mayor resumes to come forward with information that you think we need to hear. Stated he cannot speak on behalf of law enforcement agencies because we can't direct them to go out and enforce anything; we can let them know what the constituents complaints are and that's all the Mayor's office is able to do. It doesn't mean we're passing the buck. They have to report back to the gentleman sitting to his left who runs the day to day operations of the town. Mayor Michael Reina stated normally he is in his office by 4 o'clock; so if you make an appointment you'll find him here at 4 o'clock but don't let that stop you. The Business Administrator is here 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Mayor Reina stated that BA Wall is the entity that runs the town during the day, he gets briefed daily sometimes five times in the day. He interacts with the Township attorney, the Business Administrator and with Council on a regular basis, he stated you cannot rely on social media. He needs facts, to speak to people and then he can relay that information to the proper authorities.

Mayor Michael Reina stated to Mr. Sargent he knows the issues at hand; there are legal aspects that they have to uphold, they have to wait for certain items. He has been told a lot of the [Court] cases have been held up because of Covid and they’re still not holding certain types of cases in Court. He stated you’re not falling on deaf ears, we are moving forward; unfortunately, it’s at a snail’s pace because of the Court system. The information that comes is must be verified, which is time consuming and in a hundred square mile town that’s constantly changing. You could imagine how much time it could take as far as the Building Department is concerned, which recently hired two additional inspectors and had a resignation; we’re constantly looking to staff up with quality and sometimes as fast as we hire people they leave. You have Code Enforcement Officers that are out because they are sick. These are all the things we do not announce but when you ask a question, we want to answer you in the most reasonable legal fashion without going into some kind of litigation that we are currently going through, which prevents us from doing other things.

Mayor Michael Reina expressed to take them up on the offer to meet with us and let us know what's going on and we will follow it through; we work for you.

Council President Kern asked Attorney Greg McGuckin to provide an update on 41 Mill Pond and 16 Short Hills on where we are on the process there.

Attorney Greg McGuckin stated it has been referred to his office by Code Enforcement and Construction Department they’re reviewing the documents now that have been provided.

JOSEPH RUCCI-24 SHORT HILLS BLVD. – Had addressed the Council with concerns of chain saws being used in the early hours of the morning – 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.

ANGEL FERRER- 15 CEDARVIEW AVE- He expressed his concerns that the neighborhood is changing, one home is used like a hotel, and he was concerned about solicitors walking up to him while he is walking his dog in the neighborhood asking if they can buy his house. He doesn't feel safe.

Councilman Sauickie wanted to confirm this is the same development that had 700 person party last year, and Mr. Ferrer said yes. Councilman Sauickie asked Mr. Ferrer if realtors are approaching him, and Mr. Ferrer said yes, while he was walking his dog. He said the realtors are telling him not to list the house, implying they will just buy it.

Page 38 of 38

Council President Kern asked Mr. Ferrer if solicitors are knocking on doors in the neighborhood, and are the realtors stopping him on the street.

Mr. Ferrer said yes they do knock on doors and had called his phone as well. Council President Kern stated we have a permit system and no knock Ordinance. So if solicitors that are violating that, please report it. You can call the BA from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and if someone is doing work in the neighborhood before 8:30 AM you would have to contact the police.

KORI SARGENT- 26 CEDARVIEW AVE- Asked Council is there something that can be done with the stop of the rampant law breaking within the Township and their home owners association. The Home Owners Association has no answer. Laws are being broken while the legal proceedings are happening.

Councilman Sauickie asked Attorney Greg McGuckin if the town is within its power to issue summonses to the contractors doing the work when there are stop work orders on a particular property.

Attorney Greg McGuckin anyone working on the project can be issued violation notices and can be fined.

Councilman Sauickie asked BA Wall at this point have we done that.

BA Wall stated he can verify that but he does appreciate the input tonight and will verify that tomorrow morning.

GLENN MARTIN- 36 OVERLOOK DRIVE – He agrees with his neighbors, and is concerned that the quality of life that we all worked hard for, is changing, and not changing in the right direction.

JOE KRAKOWSKI- WHISPERING HILLS – Questioned Council about calling the Police when Code Enforcement isn’t available to call about seeing something going on. Mr. Kraskowski said the problem when calling the Police is that they interrogate you and give you a hard time. He asked if there is a number that could be called before or after hours.

BA Wall stated it sounds like it’s a management issue where we could address the protocol with which a call is handled and documented when it’s after hours or overnight and how that call is managed and he can meet with you.

Mr. Krakowski second concern was for 41 Mill Pond Road where a number of trees are being cut down. Asked how the home owner is issued tree permits while having 4 stop work orders.

Attorney Greg McGuckin stated if they issued the permit beforehand then obviously it would not and if they meet the criteria for the permit; it would be arbitrary for the Township to deny the issuance of the permit. What he doesn’t know if the Township has an ordinance regarding if there’s an existing violation no additional permits should be issued. He would have to check that; if not, an ordinance amendment that could be considered.

Mr. Krakowski asked do violations go only to the home owner or to contractors that are willingly violating the stop work order.

Attorney Greg McGuckin anyone who is violating a stop work order can be summoned.

Mr. Krakowski asked are they being summoned for 41 Mill Pond.

Attorney Greg McGuckin stated he became aware of 41 Mill Pond fairly recently and I received the documentation just a few days ago. He doesn’t have the answer to that yet.

Council President Kern stated we have a noise ordinance and work ordinance for when contractors are allowed to do work; if they’re outside those hours. We need to call.

Page 39 of 38

Attorney Greg McGuckin stated that he has been reviewing the noise ordinance and the construction ordinance and our ordinance says if you meet the noise requirements you can continue to work after 6 or 7 PM as long as you don't violate the noise ordinance. So for new construction in particular you can violate the noise ordinance for new construction for existing property rehabilitation. If you are not violating the noise ordinance you're permitted to work after that time and hour are allowed to work under the noise ordinance.

Councilman Sauickie asked Attorney Greg McGuckin in that case it sounds a little gray in terms if it’s being followed; for example a resident heard banging at 2 o’clock in the morning and a resident calls that in is that violation.

Attorney Greg McGuckin asked if it violates the noise ordinance and the decibel level at that time of night is different from other times; that requires the measurement of the sound. There’s no blanket on prohibition on construction or work in a house it just has to meet the noise ordinance during those hours.

JANINE NAZINA- CEDARVIEW AVE- She stated there are multiple issues going on as well, and addressed Council with the issue of swimming pools being rented on Cedarview. She was doing yard work outside on a Sunday and observed 20 women coming and going on the hour and using the swimming pool.

Mrs. Nazina second concern was the cutting down trees on 41 Mill Pond early in the morning and this is a huge issue in the neighborhood. There are also contractors trucks parked up and down the street despite the stop work order notices on the door.

Mrs. Nazina third concern was about 16 Short Hills having multiple families in and out and now and you have to worry about the children in the neighborhood, because these are strangers. Mattresses are being delivered in the 10s, 20s and 30s and this is not normal. This is becoming a health issue because the homes in this area are well and septic.

Mrs. Nazina Fourth comment was that you call the police they come and address it but as soon as the police leave the neighborhood; it continues. There has to be something Zoning and Code Enforcement could do. She stated she called Code Enforcement for 3 hours today and could not get through. The phone rings and rings.

Council President Kern told Mrs. Nazina that if you cannot get in touch with Code Enforcement during the day to contact Administration.

Councilman Sauickie told Mrs. Nazina that last year the Council introduced and passed an ordinance banning short-term rentals, which included pools. He asked Mrs. Nazina to call it in. Mrs. Nazina stated she cannot get in touch with Code Enforcement.

Mrs. Nazina’s final concern is speeding; she stated it is out of control. The speed limit is 25 miles per hour; people are doing 60/70 miles per hour.

JOSEPH RUCCI- 24 Short Hills Blvd. - Stated there is a problem when you call Code Enforcement and it prompts you to hit number 6 and it just rings. If you call another number and someone else picks up and they’ll explain to you that Code Enforcement is not there but if you call this number and extension 1295 it will direct you to Code Enforcement.

BA Wall stated our IT department could address that issue tomorrow. The lines may not be directed to the right area or it’s not following on appropriately and he thinks it could be buttoned up.

Mr. Rucci stated they had four stop work orders and he stated he did speak to someone in the Township they did explain to him that they also got did get the permit for the trees at the end of August. He would like to an explanation on what a stop work order means.

Attorney Greg McGuckin a stop work order means you just stop everything on the premises that would be under issued under the construction official; so for plumbing, electric, general construction. Ordinance is structured and if the applicant submits the

Page 40 of 38

appropriate information it would be arbitrary for the Township to deny it. That only applies to the Construction Official’s authority and that covers what’s in the building.

COUNCILMAN CHISHOLM thanked everyone for coming out tonight and sharing the information; some of it we were aware of and some of it we were not aware of and it's good to hear the feedback. We're doing everything we can to look into these things and hope to have more information soon. He thanked everyone for coming.
