I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF DECEMBER 7TH, 2020 REGULAR MEETING.
WE HAVE A MOTION, A SECOND TO APPROVE MINUTES FROM OUR DECEMBER 7TH REGULAR MEETING.
ANY OPPOSED? PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
AND NOW WE HAVE, UH, WE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE SCHEDULE TONIGHT, SO WE CAN MOVE RIGHT INTO OLD BUSINESS.
AND, UH, FIRST BIT OF, UH, OLD BUSINESS IS CONSIDER AUTHORIZING AN ADVERTISEMENT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND COMPLETE STREETS POLICY.
JEFF, UH, OR CASEY, CAN ONE OF YOU TAKE THAT? I CAN, UH, GUYS, THIS IS ANTHONY.
HOW YOU DOING, SAM? HI, EVERYONE.
SO THIS WOULD BE FOR, UM, UH, AUTHORIZING THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD FOR THE ACTIVE, UH, TRANSPORTATION PLAN IN A COMPLETE STREETS POLICY, UH, WHICH, UH, AUTHORIZED AUTHORIZATION WAS GIVEN.
RECOMMENDATION WAS GIVEN BY PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, IN EARLY DECEMBER.
UM, INFORMATION WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD, UH, DECEMBER 7TH, I BELIEVE, UH, DECEMBER 7TH.
UM, SO THIS WOULD BE TO, AS PART OF THE PROCESS AND TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS IT TO FORMALLY, YOU KNOW, MOVE THEM FROM DRAFT TO, UM, FORMAL DOCUMENTS TO BE, UH, ADOPTED AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE, UH, COMP PLAN, UH, CHANGES.
UH, WE WANNA AUTHORIZE IT FOR PUBLIC, UH, OFFICIALLY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, PERIOD, 45 DAYS.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE ADVERTISEMENT WOULD BE FOR.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAD PRESENTED TO US AT OUR DECEMBER MEETING, I BELIEVE, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, YEP.
AND, UH, YEAH, ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT ALL THESE PLANS AND STUFF IS IT SETS, UH, SETS US AT A PLACE WHERE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, REQUEST GRANTS AND APPLY FOR GRANTS BECAUSE WE HAVE PLANS IN PLACE, WE HAVE STUDIED OUR PROBLEMS AND, AND KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO FIX THEM.
SO ANYWAY, I'LL, UH, ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO, UH, TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND COMPLETE STREETS POLICY.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND COMPLETE STREETS POLICY.
I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE ADVERTISEMENT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, COMPLETE STREETS POLICY FOR A 45 DAY, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD.
CONSIDER ADOPTING RESOLUTION 2021 DASH SIX AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO OBTAIN EASEMENTS FROM 5 0 6 FRUIT FARM ROAD, PARCEL NUMBER AS NOTED IN THE AGENDA, AND 20 BROOKDALE DRIVE PARCEL NUMBER ALSO NOTED IN THE AGENDA.
AND 1 0 1 ROSEMONT LANE PARCEL NUMBER
[00:30:01]
ALSO NOTED IN THE AGENDA FOR THE TINDI RUN SANITARY SEWER PROJECT.WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THAT? YEAH, I'D JUST LIKE TO, TO NOTE FOR THE, THE BOARD'S EDIFICATION THAT OF THE 13 REQUIRED EASEMENTS, UM, FOR THE TINDI RUN SEWER PROJECT, THESE ARE THE LAST REMAINING THREE.
I KNOW THAT BILL DINGMAN AND I SEPARATELY HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH TWO OF THESE FOLKS, UH, VERY POSITIVE CONVERSATIONS TODAY.
UM, AND BILL, JOE AND I MET WITH, UM, UH, THE THIRD ONE THAT'S ON THE LIST THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, UH, THE DAY BEFORE NEW YEAR'S EVE.
UM, WE EXPECT THEM TO ALL, UM, UM, SIGN THE APPROPRIATE EASEMENT DOCUMENTS, AND THAT WE WON'T NEED TO INVOKE THE, THE EMINENT DOMAIN POWER THAT THE BOARD HOLDS.
HOWEVER, UH, UM, AS WE'RE IN A, IN A, UH, POSITION WHERE WE'D LIKE TO GET THE PROJECT BID, UH, AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO AUTHORIZE JOE TO PURSUE THAT IF NECESSARY.
THAT'S, YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY USE IT, RIGHT? BRIAN? WE'RE GOING DOWN THERE, BY THE WAY.
IN FACT, THE LAST ONE THAT YOU AUTHORIZED FOR THIS PROJECT, UH, JOE INFORMED THEM THAT YOU HAD TAKEN THAT STEP AND THEY AGREED TO THE DISCUSS TERMS, UH, THE DAY AFTER.
SO SOMETIMES IT DOES HELP TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS MM-HMM.
SO THE RESOLUTION ISN'T REALLY GOING AFTER THE PEOPLE AND SAYING, THIS MEANS WAR AND WE MEAN BUSINESS.
IT REALLY HELPS THEM, AND IT HELPS US TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S TAX EXEMPT ANYWAY.
SO THESE RESOLUTIONS, WHEN THEY COME IN FRONT OF YOU, DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THE, THERE'S A PROBLEM YET.
IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2021 DASH SIX AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO OBTAIN EASEMENTS FROM 5 0 6 FRUIT FARM ROAD, PARCEL NUMBER 61 DASH ZERO ZERO DASH 0 1 8 8 5 DASH SIX DASH ONE 20.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2021 DASH SIX AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO OBTAIN EASEMENTS FROM AS NOTED IN THE AGENDA AND JUST MADE BY, UH, BY, UH, SUPERVISOR HIGGINS.

UM, NOW WE WERE JUST OUT THERE, UH, CHATTING WITH THESE FOLKS NOT TOO LONG AGO, BUT ANYWAY, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SPEAK TO THIS REAL QUICKLY, THEN WE'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
JOE, YOU'VE HAD MORE DIRECT, UH, INTERACTION WITH THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS THAN I HAVE.
COULD YOU SPEAK TO THIS ONE? THE, UM, THE BLACKROCK ROAD FOLKS ARE IN A ARE, ARE, ARE FINE.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO ISSUE THERE.
UM, ASHTON FELDER ROAD, UH, WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT.
THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO IN THE HOME WERE NOT REPRESENTED THAT THEY WERE NOT THE LEGAL OWNER.
UM, THINGS WERE A LITTLE CONFUSING, I'LL SAY.
AND, UM, I'VE ORDERED A TITLE REPORT ON THAT PROPERTY TO DETERMINE OWNERSHIP.
UM, BUT THE NE CLEARLY I NEEDED WITH, WITH BLACKROCK ROAD, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE CULVERT.
A CULVERT MAY NOT COUNT AS A SEWER IMPROVEMENT.
SO TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE, FOR THESE PEOPLE, WE SHOULD HAVE THE RESOLUTION ON THE, FOR THE A ASHTON FOLDER GROUP, WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD JUST BECAUSE WE MIGHT NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHERE, WHERE, WHERE WE STAND THERE.
THEY DIDN'T DISAGREE EXACTLY, BUT THINGS WERE A LITTLE CONFUSING.
[00:35:02]
YEAH.I, I, YEAH, THAT, THAT I, THAT'S THE EXACT IMPRESSION I THINK WE GOT WHEN WE WERE OUT THERE TOO.
UM, I WILL, UH, ENTERTAIN, UH, A MOTION, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 20 20 21 DASH SEVEN AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO OBTAIN EASEMENT FROM 20 OR TWO 12 ASCHEN FELDER ROAD PARCEL NOTED ON THE AGENDA.

AND 5 0 6 BLACKROCK ROAD PARCEL, ALSO NOTED IN THE AGENDA FOR THE ASHKIN FILTER ROAD CULVERT REPLACEMENT PROJECT.
AND NOW WE'RE ON TO THE NEW BUSINESS SECTION OF THE MEETING.
AND, UH, THE FIRST PIECE OF NEW BUSINESS IS TO CONSIDER AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT OF THE WALNUT STREET AND JACOB STREET ALIGNMENT PROJECT IN MONTCLAIR.
IS, IS THIS, IS THIS A REFERENCE? I'M SORRY, BILL TO INTERRUPT YOU.
IS THIS, IS THIS A REFERENCE BRIAN TO THE ORDINANCE? IT IS NOT THE ORDINANCE.
IT IS ASKING THE BOARD TO, UM, ALLOW US TO ADVERTISE, UH, FOR BIDS FOR THE PROJECT.
CUZ I WAS GONNA ASK THE EXACT SAME THING.
SO WE, WE'LL MAKE THAT IN THE MOTION.
UM, BUT, UH, YEAH, FINALLY, JOHN, I THINK MAYBE WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
JOHN, YOU SHOULD PASS THE MOTION.
I'LL BE, I'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE THAT MOTION, BILL.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT OF THE WALNUT STREET AND JACOB STREET ALIGNMENT PROJECT IN MONTCLAIR FOR BIDS.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.
ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
UM, AND I HAVE YET ANOTHER INTERRUPTION.
GOING BACK TO, GOING BACK TO ASCHEN, FELDER 2, 2 12 IS WHERE THE CELL TOWER WAS OR IS, YOU KNOW, THE RA THE RECENT ZONING HEARING FOR THE TOWER? THAT WAS TWO 12 ASCHEN FELDER.
AND I JUST NOTICING THAT THAT'S THE ADDRESS THAT WAS USED IN THAT MOTION.
THE PROPERTY THAT I WENT TO WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET.
UM, AND RIGHT NOW I DON'T REMEMBER THE ADDRESS, BUT IT WOULD BE ODD.
I, I WANT TO SAY IT ENDED IN A FIVE, MAYBE ALL THE DOWN LOWER, CLOSER TO BLACKROCK AT THE HARD, AT THE HARD S TURN THERE.
UM, AND I, AND IN THE PAPERWORK I PREPARED, I DON'T THINK I USED TWO 12, SO I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY.
UM, ON THAT WITH STAFF, MAYBE I'M LOOKING AT IT NOW, JOE, I SEE 1 75 FELDER.
UM, YEAH, I CAN, I CAN READ THE PARCEL NUMBER INTO THE RECORD IF THE BOARD WANTS TO CORRECT THE RES CORRECT THE, UH, RESOLUTION ON THE FLY HERE.
IF WE COULD JUST CORRECT THAT, THAT THAT TWO 12, THAT TWO 12 WASN'T, YEAH.
SO IF, EVEN IF YOU, WELL, I DUNNO IF THE PARCEL NUMBER'S ALSO INCORRECT.
I MAYBE SO, BUT THE ADDRESS IS, UM, LET ME SEE.
YEAH, WE NEED TO CHANGE BOTH THE ADDRESS AND THE PARCEL NUMBER.
IT'S FOR 1 75 ASH AND FELDER ROAD.
PARCEL NUMBER 61 DASH ZERO ZERO DASH 0 180 1 DASH ZERO ZERO DASH ONE.
DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE THAT NOW? IF YEAH, LET'S CLEAN THAT UP AND THEN WE'LL BE DONE WITH IT.
SO JUST AMEND ADOPTING RESOLUTION 2021 DASH SEVEN AUTHORIZING THE USE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO OBTAIN EASEMENT FROM 1 75 ASHTON PHOTO ROAD.

ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
UM, SO WHERE WE'RE AT NOW? OKAY.
SO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, UNDER NEW BUSINESS, CONSIDER AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS FOR THE RIVER CREST CONNECTOR TRAIL PROJECT.
SO REAL QUICK, THIS IS THE, UH, TRAIL FROM THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, UH, DOWN ALONG THE GOLF COURSE, UH, THROUGH THE RAVINE DOWN TO THE CHUCO RIVER TRAIL.
IT'S ABOUT, UH, JUST SHORT OF 4,000 LINEAR FEET.
UH, YOU DO HAVE A GRANT ON THIS PROJECT FROM A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE MON 2040.
UM, SO WE'RE GETTING READY TO GO OUT THE BID FOR THIS PROJECT.
WE DO NEED TO GET THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION BLESSING IT ON IT ONE LAST TIME, UH, BEFORE WE DO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
BUT, UH, WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOUR BLESSING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, UH, UPON THEIR APPROVAL.
JUST, JUST TO BILL, JUST A QUESTION.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE TOTAL COST ON THIS THING IS GONNA BE? THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE WAS APPROXIMATELY $250,000.
UH, I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN THAT BECAUSE OF THE CROSSING AT BLACKROCK ROAD.
WE'LL HAVE A, I I DON'T WANNA SAY A SIGNAL, BUT YOU KNOW, A FLASHER THERE.
SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED IN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE, SO I THINK IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT $250,000.
BUT, UH, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR COMPLETION BY THE END OF THE SUMMER.
AND THAT, AND IS THAT ALL PAVED, MR. DINGMAN? YES.
I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO, UM, APPROVE ADVERTISING FOR THE RIVER CREST CONNECTOR.

I HAVE A MOTION AND A AND A SECOND TO AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS FOR THE RIVER CREST CONNECTOR TRAIL PROJECT.
AND ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, UM, CONSIDER TAKING ACTION TO REMOVE AZIZ ABDEL FROM THE ZONING HEARING BOARD.
AND, UH, I, I JUST WANNA SAY THIS WAS NOT ANY FAULT OF HIS EASES.
HE WAS CALLED OUT OF THE COUNTRY ON WORK AND WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND MEETINGS LAST YEAR AND HAS NOT RESPONDED TO OUR, OUR EMAIL.
SO, UM, AND I, I, WE HAVE A CANDIDATE ACTUALLY, TO APPOINT AT OUR FEBRUARY REGULAR MEETING, UH, TO THE BOARD TO REPLACE HIM.
BUT WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION TONIGHT TO REMOVE AZI, BECAUSE THEN HE HAS A 30 DAY PERIOD TO FILE AN APPEAL IF HE WANTS TO.

SO, UM, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS.

I JUST WANNA DO A SHOUT OUT AGAIN TO OUR, UH, CHIEF, UH, UH, CHIEF KEIGAN AND ALSO SENATOR MOTH IN OUR ENTIRE DELEGATION, UM, FOR THEIR HELP IN GETTING THIS, UM, AWESOME GRANT.
I DON'T KNOW OF ANY GRANT OF THIS SIZE OR MAGNITUDE THAT ANY MUNICIPALITY HAS RECEIVED IN RECENT MEMORY.
MAYBE THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE SUBURBS.
SO, UM, AND THAT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO, UH, GIVE US SOME BREATHING ROOM IN OUR CAPITAL, UH, CAPITAL BUDGET.
UM, ON, ON A DOWNSIDE, A LITTLE BIT ON THE GRANTS WE'VE RECEIVED WORDING, WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME CLARIFICATION.

I, I, I JUST THINK I'M, I'M GLAD THAT WE WERE, WE WERE ABLE TO REAPPOINT ALL, UM, ALL OF OUR CONSULTANTS.
UH, I I THINK THAT THEY, THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB AND I THINK THEY'RE MOVING THE TOWNSHIP FORWARD.
AND, UH, I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER GREAT YEAR WORKING WITH THOSE GUYS.
UH, I GOT ONE BOOK FOR CRI, OR TWO BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT I'M GONNA RECOMMEND ONE.
IT'S A BOOK CALLED FIRST PRINCIPLES, WHICH TALKS ABOUT THE EDUCATION OF WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, ADAMS. IT'S A LITTLE DENSE IN LITTLE HISTORY, BUT, UH, BUT I FOUND IT REAL COMFORTING TO READ IN THESE TIMES.
SO ANYWAY, THE BOOK IS CALLED FIRST PRINCIPLES.
I GOT THAT FOR CHRISTMAS BILL.
I DID, AND I'M, I'M ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH IT ALREADY.
