Can feel that's going to cost you something. I know that Speaker 5 00:15:40 Now that now that we got an actual president in charge and the vaccine is starting to roll out, we got some leadership maybe in six months, we'll all be together. I hope so. Speaker 2 00:15:53 You're very positive. Turn it on six months. Speaker 5 00:16:00 Well, yeah, I hope so too. But I mean, realistically, it'll probably take till this summer, I guess. I hope not Speaker 2 00:16:12 To get vaccinated. Speaker 5 00:16:15 Nope. The way I'm looking at it is it's like our it's our generation tests, you know, it's like being in a, you know, world war II or something, you know, you gotta, we have to just rise to the occasion. You make it through not much we can do about it. It would be easier if we had a Franklin Roosevelt instead of a Donald Trump could actually get Lee will lead us beyond idiocy. But Speaker 2 00:16:45 It's a tough one. Speaker 5 00:16:48 Well, Speaker 2 00:16:49 From everything I hear and see Speaker 5 00:16:55 Is this our last meeting of the year? Speaker 2 00:16:57 Nope. One more next week. One more. Speaker 5 00:17:06 I don't see that on the email I got up from Melissa. Oh yeah. I do see it. I see it. I have my glasses. I don't have my glasses on and I saw my iPad. I didn't print it out. Speaker 2 00:17:21 Oh yeah. It's I don't know three pages. Speaker 5 00:17:25 Well, I, I I'm having cataract surgery in about three weeks, I guess it is. And, and the, my eyes are, have gotten that were, they've gone from bad to worse. So, Speaker 2 00:17:40 Well, I had it twice one last year and the other five years prior to that, make sure you someone to drive you home. Speaker 5 00:17:51 Yeah. I'm looking forward to it, frankly. I'm going to put a lens in my eye and I'll my, my vision will be completely improved. Speaker 5 00:18:01 You won't wake up blind anymore. Well, you know, it's a hassle to answer, you know, it slows me down. I'm trying to respond to the fire call. I gotta stop, put my contact on. Then I can't really sleep in them. And you know, the two minutes or more to take to, to do that are three minutes over long, it takes is it gives a it's nice getting there on time and not so we'll be much more convenient. Sean Cahill had it recently. So it's not just you old gang. Most some of us youngsters, which aren't too young anymore. Just had it Speaker 2 00:18:42 Done. Speaker 5 00:18:44 Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty routine. Now I get it. I have a, a deposition tomorrow. Actually you got to put a jacket and tie on. So like I though I may have a hard time remembering how to tie a tie inside one in a while. Speaker 2 00:19:11 Okay. Give it a try Speaker 5 00:19:17 Once a month. Now I, you know, I probably have to wear it. Speaker 2 00:19:20 Oh, that's not bad. Huh? Speaker 5 00:19:23 That's supposed to know. As opposed to a couple of times a week. Speaker 2 00:19:29 Not bad, not bad. I didn't know what happened. I didn't office his clothes. Oh, mushing from home. So I don't need a tie. That's right. Speaker 5 00:19:58 Well, when we go on video and there's a judge there, or it's a deposition, that's a little more formal. I wear, I put on the jacket and John, you don't have a lot of people. Don't I just do a little old school. Speaker 6 00:20:11 I'd like to have the counsel's attention.

It is $7 million, 6 million, $650,000 providing for various capital improvements open to be open to the public. It is a resolution adopting ordinance. Are there any comments or questions regarding this item? Speaker 8 00:29:21 If I may counsel president all this is geared towards the reconstruction of a lot of streets next year. Speaker 7 00:29:27 Right? I did see that. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, that is, I saw a whole bunch of streets in there, so it's good for all of us to have that information handy too, for a residence. Number two will be an ordinance on second reading. It is fully funded. It is appropriating $2 million from the affordable housing trust fund for phase two of the senior housing Sterling village buildings, facility improvements. It will also be open to the public and it is a resolution adopting ordinance. So there are any comments or questions from council members or administration seen or not. The good thing we really want to see Sterling village get improved. Next item is an ordinance and the second reading is also fully funded. It is appropriating $1.5 million, $750,000 of which from developers contributions for preliminary planning and engineering for road in prison, it is open to the public and it is a resolution adopting ordinance. Are there any comments or questions regarding this item? Speaker 8 00:30:31 If I may council president, and this is for approximately I believe six streets throughout the town. I know one of them is Hanover. Think blue Ridge, the third phase of second avenue, Ethel road west, you know, there there's a whole, whole bunch of them there, Speaker 7 00:30:54 Right? That the whole list is included in that bond ordinance Speaker 8 00:31:00 Started council president weekly avenue, Holly lane, Pearl street, and love guard, which is a big one over there. Speaker 7 00:31:09 Yeah. I have a question of when is weekly mayor? When is that one going? Is it not, it's not Speaker 8 00:31:18 Sweet if you award the contract to start to engineering Councilwoman, that will start the engineering services. So I'm assuming that it'll take them to do the engineering design next year. Assuming that there's no real acquisition. That may be a 2023 construction Speaker 7 00:31:38 2023. Okay. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you also, no other comments or questions from admin administration or counsel on that item.here. Hanover's on that one. Yeah. Yep. Excellent. Okay. So see, none that will be on the next item will be an ordinance on second reading, amending various chapters of the Piscataway code. This is open to the public and it is a resolution adopting ordinance. Are there any comments or questions from council or administration on that item? Okay. Pain. None that will be on the next item will be a resolution authorizing additional engineering design services for the Piscataway community and cultural center project. It is grotto engineering associates, LLC, not to exceed $10,000, any comments or questions from an administration or council on this item. Speaker 7 00:32:39 Okay.

Number 2 20 20 various playground equipment replacement, play power LT, Farmington, Inc not to exceed $18,946. So are there any comments or questions from administration or council on this just said, I think we talked about this on the mayor show Mr. Mayor, this, this should hopefully be like the, the final pieces on the playground area equipment or is this, Speaker 8 00:33:25 And then we're going to start in this coming 2021 to start this the three-year cycle for the basketball courts and the tennis court. Speaker 7 00:33:34 Right, right. For some of the stuff that's a little bit more adult geared, but good. Okay. If there's no other comments or questions that will be on the next item which we vote on every single year is the resolution to authorize the temporary budget for calendar year 2021. As we know, we usually do not find out what the budgets are going to be until I guess, I don't know March timeframe if I'm correct there, Mr. Dacey and Mr. Mayor. So we always have to authorize the temporary budget. So any comments or questions from anybody on this item? Okay. Seeing on that will be on the next item is a resolution authorizing chapter 1 59, the cares act number three, any comments or questions regarding that item Dean on that will be on the next side and will be a resolution authorizing renewal of contracts with Microsystems and j.com for mod, for program, for assessing.

Any comments or questions regarding that item? Speaker 7 00:35:09 Okay. I think as we know, we were like in an every four year cycle on that. So we'll be seeing that probably every other year, every year potentially the next item will be a resolution authorizing purchase of 2021 Vermeer F 9 23, TX compact utility loader with tracks under sourced. Well national co-op to mere north Atlantic, not to exceed $68,471. Any comments or questions regarding this item? Okay. See, none that will be on next item will be a resolution authorizing purchase of a 2021 premier BC 1,515 inch brush chipper with tier four final engine under sourced while national co-op Vermeer north Atlantic, not to exceed $27,559.

Any comments or questions regarding this item? Okay. Seen on that will be on next to the resolution authorizing the purchase of a 2020 John Deere, 6 44 L wheel loader under ESB and J Jessica not to exceed $259,845 and 81 cents. Any comments or questions from council on that? Speaker 8 00:36:49 If I may council president, all this equipment is storing our normal cash capital ordinance that we do every year around this time, Speaker 7 00:36:59 Right? This is as part of what we used to spend to improve the, Speaker 8 00:37:06 So I know the council members are aware a lot of this equipment, there is a long lead time for it. So when you authorize an executed contract, some of it may take up to nine months to a year to receive the equipment. Speaker 7 00:37:21 Okay. Thank you for that explanation. Might I just ask, ask exactly what the wheel is? Her tests. Speaker 8 00:37:30 Loader is the big, heavy John Deere that you see. Like when we have a major brush event, when there's a lot of downstream, you have that big piece of equipment for four wheel equipment out there. That's grabbing the, the trees and the logs and putting it into a roll off that's a wheel loader. Speaker 7 00:37:47 Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. Next will be a resolution authorizing purchase of 2021 Freightliner one 14 SD chassis with DD 13 engine under ESC and J Campbell Freightliner not to exceed $137,000, $137,139 and 64 cents. Any comments or questions from council on this item? Speaker 8 00:38:13 Yeah, maybe the members know this. When, when you had the wheel over the Willow dumps into a roll off, roll off a chassis, this is what the roll-off is. Speaker 7 00:38:27 Yeah. Both of these tortoises. I mean, there's a code you read. These are, these are being purchased mare under Speaker 5 00:38:35 Contracts Just by way of explanation. That means that state has negotiated the lowest possible price for this equipment and, and municipalities combined, some shared services type of purchasing agreement. Is that, am I correct? Mare Speaker 8 00:38:52 That's correct. Or we're purchasing it under a co-op and other cooperative agreement. That's what all these purchases, the only piece of equipment that's not on the list is a specialty piece from, for the sewer department. That's actually going to have to be put out to bid. So Speaker 5 00:39:08 Yeah, I just want the public to understand that there's a process involved where the state negotiates essentially buying different types of equipment that they recognize municipalities or counties might need. And they, then they negotiate the best price. So it's not a quick, you know, somebody, sometimes we get read, people say, why are you paying X dollars for this? You know, it's because the state negotiated the best price. I just, I just want to make sure that that was out there. Speaker 7 00:39:36 Right? Right. Thank you. Thank you, Councilman Condon. It's always good to know that that anywhere that this township on an end of the administration always does. This is anywhere where we can have shared services or get best prices by going into a co-op or state negotiated contract. That's what we do. Okay. So if there's no other comments or questions, that item will be on, the next item will be a resolution authorizing award of contract for professional consulting services, blue Ridge avenue road in prisons from Morris avenue to Terminus grotto engineering associates, LLC, not to exceed $110,700.

Seeing none that will be on the next item will be a resolution authorizing award of contract for professional consulting services, Hanover street road roadway improvements from Carlton avenue to plumbing street. Najarian associates not to exceed $73,500. Are any comments or questions regarding this item? Okay. I think we can all see that there's a trend here.

So the next item will be a resolution authorizing award of contract for professional consulting services for Holly lane road improvements from south Randolph hill road to Seward avenue. It is Menlo engineering associates and is not to exceed $99,300. Are there any comments or questions regarding this item? Tina on that will be on the next item is a resolution authorizing award of contract for professional consulting services. Love Garth street row a street road improvements from south avenue to center street. This is TNM associates and it is not to exceed $250,400. I take it. There's a lot to be done out there, Mr. Mayor, Speaker 8 00:41:53 That is probably in the top three streets for worst streets in town. Speaker 7 00:41:59 Hmm. Okay. All right. I'm sure a residents will be happy to hear about that. Any other comments from council or administration? Okay. Seen on that will be on the next item will be a resolution authorizing award of contract for professional consulting services.

This is second avenue. It is phase three roadway improvements from Elwood street to Hancock route. It is Alamo group not to exceed $97,700. Any comments or questions from council administration on this item? Speaker 5 00:42:52 I do have a question. What is marijuana is not included in the last, you know, 150 feet or so from down to the corner, Speaker 8 00:43:03 From what I understand, Councilman that there's, we're looking to do Hancock street and there's some storm water issues out there along with the Stratton street. So we, I guess we have to take care of the Stratton street stuff first, before we do that last one block stretch. Speaker 5 00:43:23 Yeah. That's a county project that covert I, don't not sure the status of that, but the covert that runs run to their Speaker 8 00:43:31 Probably that last block may do that internally the engineering design, because it would only be one block. So, Speaker 5 00:43:40 Okay. Speaker 8 00:43:43 And by the way, a Councilman we're expecting to be out to bid in January for the phase one and phase two of second street, second avenue. Speaker 5 00:43:53 Well, are they, are they summer 2021 projects? Good because they're in the running we're streets to Speaker 7 00:44:07 Does that also include that. Thank you, Councilman con, Mr. Marriages, Alison 2021 includes that part of the culvert. That is the county project. Speaker 8 00:44:17 No, no. I think the county, the county is probably about two years away, maybe. Yup. Speaker 5 00:44:23 Yeah. That that's been, you know, that's, that's an unfortunate hold up. Cause we had planned on moving forward with Stratton street and told residents we were going to do so, but it's conditioned on the county fixing that covert that runs underneath that COVID has been a problem. I know the resident that lives in the adjacent to it and she's had some difficulty with flooding and the county is as not, I mean, the county has a lot of Colbert's to do. I mean all over the county, I mean hundreds and hundreds of them, but that anything that fixing that culvert and the drainage issues out there of what are, what are holding up the completion of that street, which is frustrating because, you know, we, we can't do, we can't do the street and then have them rip everything up for drainage issues have to be done in a certain pattern in a certain order. There is a Speaker 8 00:45:11 Method to the madness. Speaker 5 00:45:13 You go ahead and proceed. I don't want to tie anything up further. I'm just glad we're doing some of the streets over there. Speaker 7 00:45:20 No, that is perfectly to be discussing this. So Speaker 7 00:45:28 That was just going to say, so the next resolution, and if you had any comments about this, this is authorizing the award of the contract for the professional consulting services for the Stratton street, south culvert. I'm not sure how to pronounce the group NAIT group or Naya group, not to exceed $296,000, which obviously is a big amount, but it's a big project. Any comments or questions regarding this, this item?
