Please state your name and address and know that you have three minutes in which to make your comments. The council or administration will respond if necessary after you have completed any comments or questions. So anyone wishing to speak during this public portion of the meeting, please press star nine. Now  
Speaker 1     00:23:21    Council vice-president. I'm asking that first individual to unmute themselves,  
Speaker 0     00:23:27    State your name and address. Okay.  
Speaker 7     00:23:36    Hi, this is a predict Patel 29 redbud road.  
Speaker 0     00:23:41    Good evening. Yep. Good evening. We hear you. Thank you. Okay.  
Speaker 7     00:23:44    So I would just to make a recent comment regarding this school with law and also call the mere office this morning. I taught, I send usually my frustrations. Um, usually obviously you guys do not have good jobs. Um, but what I'm trying to do is filter out the issues and problems that are there that needs to be worked upon. So don't look at it as complaints, but look at it as opportunities. I usually send my email emails to counsel@pva.org. I don't know if you guys check it or not. Uh, so that's, that's just a normal thing. If you are not looking at it, please find a way to, to look at the comments that I feel anyway, long story short, I come to you with a concern that I had regarding COVID. Uh, my son yesterday was sent home, um, by, by the nurse at the school, despite not having COVID concerns, their excuse at that time or whatever your protocol is, COVID protocol. Uh, that was, that came down to the state pipeline and whatnot, um, said that, uh, through some app algorithm that they had to stay home, he did not have COVID. So he was sent home without, without even having COVID. But according to whatever the protocols and laws are written today, uh, he's a seven year old. He doesn't  
Speaker 0     00:24:58    Know good or bad or whatever COVID is until we feed him. We are teaching him what COVID is. He doesn't even know that. And now we are personally, I feel, and this is my personal opinion that I think now the government is overreaching private lives, and it's, it's conducting a psychological warfare on our kids, whether it's in the state or a country or township level, I understand they want to protect everybody. You want military goes out and protects everybody, but it doesn't mean that because we can find any wars. We are going to start war with our own people, with our own citizens. And I think we are getting very close to that. If this going in machinery is not kept in check. So this again, please talk with school boards or whoever that they're seeing that, Hey, everything is hunky-dory, it's not, um, and look crisis happen in many ways in different situations, but the trend that is going on with COVID, I certainly disagree with that. Um, and with respect to the rare few things on the consent item today, uh, the claim of funds and all that, can somebody tell what was the amount for the claim of funds? Like is this negligible where, what was the, how did that money was founded and, uh, what happened there?  
Speaker 0     00:26:13    Thank you for cake. Um, I would definitely recommend you to reach out to the board of education with those concerns also, but we will take note of them. And as for your second question, do you have the number in which you're trying to ask that question for? Because I'm not sure what you're alluding to  
Speaker 4     00:26:32    And this is, this is Tim I all the, okay. So February, February 16th and employee of the Wawa on new Durham road found $6,000 in cash in the vestibule. Uh, turns it over to the police and we've held onto it for the required six months and now we're releasing it and it'll be released to the person who found it. No one else has put a claim in on it.  
Speaker 0     00:26:59    Thank you very much for that clarification.  
Speaker 1     00:27:02    Um, council vice president asking the next individual to unmute themselves.  
Speaker 0     00:27:08    Thank you. Welcome to the meeting. Please state your name and address, press star nine. And please state your name and address.  
Speaker 1     00:27:33    Okay. You're unmuted on our end 2 0 6 9. I'm not sure if your devices on you that if you check that, please.  
Speaker 0     00:27:43    Okay. Is that better? Yes, we can hear you now, please state your name and address. Sure. I'm sorry, Virginia. Dahlberg 40 Dunbar avenue. I have some questions about, about the Sumpter discharge ordinance. Um, my first question would be, um, when does this take effect? Second question, please, Virginia, please, please list all of your questions and then we'll answer them all at the same time. Okay. Okay. Thank you. New to new to the system here. Okay. Um, I did send these in to the clerk last Friday. Um, what is the fine, the concern per the ordinance is ice forming. So is this ordinance only, um, in effect in the winter time, um, with the cost of a number of residents have lost thousands of dollars with hurricane Ida and then this ordinance came out right after that. And, um, that puts an extra burden to change the flow of the discharge and the flow of the discharge. If you go out to the street, you're in a circular path where it's coming from your basement coming up out, and then you're just, um, aiming it again toward the back of your house or the side of your house or whatever. And it's a circular flow. So, I mean, that's, that's another, I just want to clarify that. Um, and I know on my street, sometimes in the winter time, the water companies flush out the hydrants. Are they under the same ordinance putting water into the street? Will they be fine?  
Speaker 0     00:29:39    So, and also what you do with priests that don't have storm drains. Now it's my concerns. Thank you. Thank you, Virginia. And, uh, I agree with some of those concerns also, I think we've been having a problem with some people, um, residents, putting other things other than their, uh, some pump water into that system and running it out into the street, which is causing problems in various, um, intersections. But I'm going to leave this for further explanation also to our business administrator, Mr. Dacey.  
Speaker 4     00:30:21    Okay. So the actual ordinance took effect back in early 2020. Uh, it is a year round ordinance. It's not only for the wintertime, uh, the purposes as the council way through as explained, we had numerous streets where people were pumping lots of, uh, water out into the streets and it would cause a freezing hazard and a hazard for people driving cars. There were a few streets that were essentially frozen all the time. Um, and it was an unsafe condition for the residents. It's unsafe condition for the motorists and for pedestrians, uh, the water company is allowed to clear out their lines. That's a public safety measure that they cleared the lines for the fire department. So they're allowed to clear the lines, uh, when they do it, you don't do that often. Uh, and the goal of the ordinances to get, keep water out of the streets and into, into the people's property and areas where it will not freeze or cause a problem for residents or for their neighbors.  
Speaker 1     00:31:37    The vice president, I'm asking the next individual with their hand raised on mute themselves 1, 4, 6, 5. Okay.  
Speaker 0     00:31:46    Welcome to the meeting. And please state your name and address.  
Speaker 8     00:31:51    Hello?  
Speaker 0     00:31:52    Yes. Please state your name and address.  
Speaker 8     00:31:56    You're speaking with me. I'm sorry. Are you speaking with me? Okay. I'm sorry. Okay. My name is Antonio . I'm calling about five 50 hose lane.  
Speaker 0     00:32:11    Can you, uh, ask your question and then we'll  
Speaker 8     00:32:14    Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not really, this is my first time doing it. I'm calling about a letter from two 20 sidewalk, special assessment. I got a boat here for $30,000. Hey, it's Ms. Smith. Yeah. So there's been a, you've probably gotten many notices prior this  
Speaker 3     00:32:39    In regard to the special assessments for the sidewalk improvements. Um, Yeah, so, so if this is the second one, that was a revision to the, um, to the certification of costs, um, there was the supervisor engineering, uh, found a correction on them. I think the actual assessment actually went down from the previous one. Um, so it would be reduced to the tax collector will probably be reaching out to you if he hasn't already, um, to correct your assessment that's already on there. Um, and, and work out, um, the payment plan that he may have already talked to you with in regard to that assessment.  
Speaker 8     00:33:19    I'm sorry. Go ahead.  
Speaker 3     00:33:26    Okay. Call the, um, call.  
Speaker 8     00:33:29    My question was, um, is that my property that the sidewalks are on?  
Speaker 3     00:33:35    Yes. I've only assessed special assessments on sidewalk improvements on the property owners,  
Speaker 8     00:33:43    But why wouldn't you allow me to, uh, make Judy sidewalks?  
Speaker 3     00:33:47    Because based on, I think there was road improvements on that property. I mean, I'm happy to talk to you, but you have to call the, um, uh, call the clerk's office or the mayor's office and they can connect you with me with me tomorrow. And, uh, my name is Raj Kumar. I'm the township attorney.

Speaker 3     00:34:05    What was it? Raj GeMar yep. Last name is  and I'm the township attorney and, um, the, uh, either the mayor's office or clerk's office will connect you with me. Um, you can also talk to the supervisor engineering. Um, he may be able to assist you on that, but I can definitely answer your questions and  
Speaker 8     00:34:26    How we, how did you say your last name again?  
Speaker 3     00:34:28    I'm sorry. Boomer. G O O M for Mary E R.  
Speaker 8     00:34:36    Okay. All right. I'll give you a call tomorrow then.  
Speaker 3     00:34:38    Sounds good. Talk to you. Is that fine? Yep. That, that works. Okay. Thank you,  
Speaker 8     00:34:43    Sir. Have a good day.  
Speaker 0     00:34:44    Thank you very much. Uh, council vice-president there are no other individuals with their hands raised. Thank you very much, Mrs. Cedar. I'm going to move 15  
Speaker 5     00:35:03    Council president. Uh, if I may,  
Speaker 0     00:35:06    One minute, I'm going to adjourn the meeting. If you want to, I'm going to close the public portion. Okay. The public portion is now closed and uh, okay, go ahead, mayor.  
Speaker 5     00:35:17    Very, very quickly council president in regards to the call, Mr. Patel, about the COVID. I, there is pretty strict standards through the department of health that the board of education, all the misspellings around the state have to adhere to. I don't know what the particular case was with his son, but I, I suspect probably what ended up happening is he may have been coming in contact with somebody who did have COVID and there was probably some contact tracing done and that which required by law, through the state department of health that they had to go into, I guess, a quarantine or not, and go and be tested. So, uh, so I suspect that's probably what happened, but one thing I do want to address though, is that, uh, when Mr. Patel did call today, he used a lot of foul language at the people in my office here, uh, which is unacceptable. So the next I'm going to this one's for Mr. Patel, if you plan on calling again, which is fine, just check your mouth. When you type of, uh, words that you use to the office staff here. That's all I have to say, president.  
Speaker 0     00:36:25    Thank you, mayor. Well, now move to adjourn. This meeting. May I have a motion to adjourn from the council it second, please. All those in favor, please say, aye, the meeting is adjourned. Have a good evening. Everyone. Can I buy.
