Richard Salkin -Hackensack- I consider this a public service announcement it is a very important week. In court room 315 the case of State of New Jersey vs Rose Greenman will be heard. She doesn’t believe city ordinances apply to her. She is running her law practice out of the14 th floor of a high rise without a certificate of occupancy or variance. We’re not even at that point because she wouldn’t even let the inspector come in. I find it inspirational in some ways. The festivities are Thursday. This is an untitled ode dedicated to Council Woman Greenman. Happy New Year to those of you who speak to me. Chris Colli- Hackensack-I have two things tonight, underneath your temporary budget appropriations we have human services and it used to be welfare and we don’t have welfare anymore so why do we have a salary there for it? CFO Jim Mangin comments. Is there any progress on getting Channel 7 to do anything but put up useless information? I’m only a grandparent but sometimes I am called upon to take the kids to school. It would be nice to know on television whether school is open or closed and why can’t these meetings be broadcasted or any other event the city does. Every other town has them. That’s all I ask. Thank you. Richard Serbo-Spring Valley Avenue- A muse is a rare thing and it inspires lyrical poetry not a silly sonnet so Ms. Greenman apologies from the audience. I want to start with political cultures. There are several around the country. It strives for the betterment of all citizens, the others are individual political culture. The results are individual achievements by the elected officials. That culture exists around here and other parts of the county. That sends me off to generally last weeks article from Todd South in the record. I thought it was excellent but what seemed to get in the way was elected officials taking credit for it. It seems once development projects begin elected officials want to take credit for them and use them politically. Lastly I just want to mention that early in the summer I mentioned to the Mayor that change is needed. After the meeting he said we will be changing. I just wanted to ask what the changes have been and will be and what’s going on. Where have we gone what’s going on? That’s it and I’ll stay brief happy New Year. 30 1/6/2015 Regina DiPasqua-Parker Avenue- I am glad the calendars will be out however the leaf schedule is not on that I am sure. As far as the street sweeping on my side of the street it’s on Thursday. My side of the street hasn’t been cleaned since December 18. It’s not going to happen for many more years but there was no planning ahead. I just have a question Mr. Mayor. This is what I am concerned about. Mr. Salkin said what he wanted to say, for the rest of the council to be blamed for what he said is inappropriate. I don’t think the rest of you should be blamed for something someone in the audience said. That’s what I am concerned about. Were all wondering about this case and how it got this far. My point is I think the city attorney might want to discuss how you handle this. It’s his call he is the referee not you guys. A motion was made by Councilman Sims and seconded by Deputy Mayor Canestrino to close the meeting to the public. Council Comments Councilman Battaglia- Thank you for coming and Happy New Year. Deputy Mayor Canestrino- Happy New Year. One other announcement next week at the Freeholder meeting there will be a point of discussion that concerns the City of Hackensack. There is a facility on Prospect Ave looking to do decontamination of their own medical waste. That will be being brought up for a vote, if anyone has concerns or wants to learn more about it please we encourage you to attend. If you care to be there please do so. Have a great evening. Lets hope we have some warm weather soon. Councilman Sims - Happy New Year. Two weeks ago everyone talks about bleeding blue and gold, a crossing guard I found him he was passed out in his car by the high school. I called the police and they came. He had phenomena and he passed away. If you don’t mind if we could have a moment of silence for him. He took off three days in fifteen years. (moment of silence) This Saturday we are going to dedicate the floor in the main gym at the high school at 12 pm for a basketball coach at the high school. Councilwoman Greenman- Thank you Mr. Serbo for being a standup guy. Can’t say the same thing for a whole lot of people. Thank you for coming and goodnight. Mayor Labrosse- Happy New Year everyone, one of the things I want to see on the calendar in the future, the calendar is late in January and no one knows what’s going on the first two weeks of January. I think we need maybe to put January on anyway even if it’s doubled over. Summit Avenue I am glad Ms. Salvo flexed her muscle and I am glad to see they are going to work on that drain. Glad we may get the street sweeper from the County. Mr. Colli I have a note to talk to Al Dib tomorrow about the cable. We had a very unfortunate incident on New Years Eve, we lost one of our citizens, a man took his life on the railroad tracks on Central Avenue. My heart goes out to his family and friends and the workers who had to deal with that. As far as change I want to address development. Development doesn’t happen without elected officials changing things and allowing it to happen. There is credit due to past people and people up here today. Change well that’s your change, there is change on Main Street, crime is at an all-time low in Hackensack. The Main Street development itself is the most major change right now. We have changed to do the study for the two way conversion of Main Street and State Street and were chipping away at tax appeals. The next few days are going to be very cold if you know someone who needs help please call City Hall. Watch out for frozen pipes. Thanks everyone for coming. 31 1/6/2015 There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:58 p.m. Approved by Mayor and Council on February 24, 2015. ______________________________________ Mayor John P.
