VANEK: Mayor, for the record, we would 19 typically recommend that Commissioners Rivas and 20 Martinetti both recuse from this matter. 21 However, under the doctrine of necessity we 22 request that Commissioner Martinetti vote. 23 MAYOR STACK: This just continues what 24 we’ve been trying to do at Ellsworth Park. 25 Ellsworth Park has been closed over the  34 1 last six weeks. We’ve been doing heavy planting 2 in Ellsworth Park. The park should be open 3 probably the first week of July, around the 7th of 4 July. 5 We’re continuing to do additional planting 6 probably in some of the walkways. I’ve been 7 working closely with Commissioner Valdivia; and 8 also Commissioner Fernandez has been at the site 9 with me. So we don’t have so much soccer playing 10 going on in the park anymore or ball playing; 11 it’s more of a passive park and we’re just trying 12 to keep it a passive park. So we’ve been doing a 13 lot of improvements there. 14 And we’ll hopefully find another 15 alternative in addition to what we built on 16 Washington Park; we’ll find other sites for them 17 to play soccer. But that park there should 18 remain more of passive park. 19 So, we’re continuing to do improvements. 20 We’ve done tremendous landscaping and we just 21 want to keep that park nice, so we’re going to 22 continue to do further improvement. 23 And we’ve been fortunate enough to get 24 additional moneys from the Hudson County Open 25 Space also.  35 1 I’ll move it. 2 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yeah, I’d like to 3 commend the Mayor doing that at Ellsworth Park. 4 There’s a lot of day care programs that walk 5 their kids there and it’s -- this is a great 6 green area for the kids and I commend the Mayor 7 for taking that in consideration in making this a 8 passive park for the younger kids. 9 Thank you, Mayor. 10 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: As a matter of 11 fact, we have three daycares -- 12 MAYOR STACK: That’s right. 13 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: -- within walking 14 distance, less than a block away from the park. 15 MAYOR STACK: Yeah, exactly. 16 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Mrs. P’s, -- 17 MAYOR STACK: Yup. 18 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Even four daycares. 19 MAYOR STACK: Four. 20 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yes. 21 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Four. 22 MAYOR STACK: And what we’ll do is the 23 small kiddie park that’s there is going to be 24 enhanced further. 25 It’s going to remain in the confines of  36 1 what’s there but we’re putting in a nicer piece 2 of equipment for the children. 3 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Nice. 4 ACTING CITY CLERK: Is there a motion on 5 the item -- 6 MAYOR STACK: Motion. 7 ACTING CITY CLERK: -- approve item 8? 8 Motion made by Mayor Stack. 9 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Second. 10 ACTING CITY CLERK: Second by Commissioner 11 Fernandez. 12 Roll call. 13 Commissioner Fernandez? 14 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yes. 15 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner Rivas; 16 recusing. 17 Commissioner Valdivia? 18 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Yes. 19 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner 20 Martinetti? 21 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Yes. 22 ACTING CITY CLERK: Mayor Stack? 23 MAYOR STACK: Yes. 24 25 REGULAR AGENDA:  37 1 2 9. Resolution to Approve a Budget Transfer for 3 the State Fiscal Year 2014 4 5 ACTING CITY CLERK: Item 9. 6 Resolution to Approve a Budget Transfer for 7 the State Fiscal Year 2014. 8 MS. VANEK: Mayor, there’s several recusals 9 on this Budget Transfer Resolution. 10 We recommend that Commissioner Rivas recuse 11 on all matters involving the County. 12 We recommend that Commissioner Fernandez 13 recuse on all matters involving the Grace 14 Theater, the Union City Redevelopment Agency, and 15 the Board of Education. 16 We would typically recommend that 17 Commissioner Valdivia recuse with regard to the 18 Board of Education. However, we ask that he vote 19 on that matter under the doctrine of necessity. 20 With respect to Commissioner Martinetti, we 21 would typically recommend that she also recuse on 22 any appropriations or revenues involving the 23 County of Hudson and the Board of Education. 24 However, she should vote on those two items under 25 the doctrine of necessity. And she should recuse  38 1 with respect to any matter involving the North 2 Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue and the 3 Construction Code. 4 With those recusals on the record, the 5 Commissioners can vote on the items. 6 ACTING CITY CLERK: Is there a motion? 7 MAYOR STACK: Motion. 8 ACTING CITY CLERK: Motion made by Mayor 9 Stack. 10 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Second. 11 ACTING CITY CLERK: Second by Commissioner 12 Martinetti. 13 Roll call. 14 Commissioner Fernandez; recusing. 15 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: No, no, I’m 16 recusing as per the counsel’s recommendation. 17 I’m recusing on anything to do with the Grace 18 Theater, Redevelopment and Board of Education. 19 Otherwise, yes. 20 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner Fernandez; 21 yes. 22 Commissioner Rivas; recusing. 23 Commissioner Valdivia? 24 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Yes. 25 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner  39 1 Martinetti? 2 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Yes -- 3 ACTING CITY CLERK: Mayor -- 4 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: -- but subject to 5 recusals on the record. 6 ACTING CITY CLERK: I’m sorry? 7 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: I’m voting with 8 recusals noted by the counsel. 9 ACTING CITY CLERK: Okay, voting recusal 10 noted by the counsel. 11 Mayor Stack? 12 MAYOR STACK: Yes. 13 14 OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO ADDRESS THE BOARD: 15 16 ACTING CITY CLERK: Mayor, do you wish to 17 take public comment at this time? 18 MAYOR STACK: Sure. 19 Just before we do, just -- I know 20 Commissioner -- Commissioner Fernandez met me 21 today on 18th and West and we were looking at a 22 piece of property at the -- the Old Saint 23 Michael’s Monastery property. And there’s a park 24 area that belongs, actually, to the City of Union 25 City on the corner of 18th and West. And  40 1 hopefully over the next six months to a year, 2 we’ll -- 3 This is only a pocket park. But we should 4 have that park opened up over the next year or 5 so. It’s another passive park in the City. It’s 6 existing there right now; it needs to be shaped 7 up and spruced up a little bit. But it’s a 8 beautiful piece of land and a very nice 9 neighborhood also that we could open up. 10 We need to put up some fencing on the 11 property to secure it from Saint Michael’s Walk 12 but it’s another piece of property that we’ll 13 actually have open to the public in Union City. 14 I know Commissioner Fernandez is excited 15 about it also. It’s a nice spot that we could 16 have a nice passive park and also maybe have some 17 additional little smaller events; whether it’s an 18 art show or a cultural affair or maybe a little 19 concert. We’re looking to do that. 20 We were over there today with the engineer 21 and hopefully we’ll have another green spot where 22 people can go for a passive park in that 23 neighborhood. 24 Commissioner, you want to -- 25 ACTING CITY CLERK: Nice.  41 1 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yeah, joining up 2 on what the Mayor said the space is -- he called 3 it a pocket park but it’s such a great space. 4 Once you remove that trailer that was there 5 unoccupied and dilapidated for many years, once 6 you remove that it’s a great area which goes 7 unnoticed but it’s a pretty big -- 8 MAYOR STACK: Beautiful. 9 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: -- sized park. 10 And once it’s redone and fixed up it’s going to 11 be wonderful. 12 It was also locked up by the Saint 13 Michael’s Board -- was locked up for many years 14 so the general would only have -- public could 15 not use it. 16 So this is going to be a great park for the 17 general community in that area; a passive park 18 with beautiful trees, landscaping. It’s a 19 wonderful, wonderful area in much need of a 20 passive area being that just a block away we have 21 a kids’ park. So this is a nice addition to the 22 community and to the area. 23 ACTING CITY CLERK: Nice. 24 MAYOR STACK: And we’ll make sure it’s not 25 intrusive on the resident’s at Saint Michael’s  42 1 Walk; that they’ll still have their space and it 2 won’t be intrusive on them. There will be proper 3 fencing put up on the property so it gives them a 4 level of security also. We’ll also have a 5 security guard at that property. 6 The way things are and the way things with 7 getting the park ready and everything, I’d like 8 to say we’ll have it open in the fall but let’s 9 say safely for the spring of next year. 10 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: I got to say one 11 more thing. 12 MAYOR STACK: Yeah. 13 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Because the Mayor 14 -- I’ve got to give credit to the Mayor -- this 15 park because he’s been looking at this park for 16 so many years. We talked about it -- 17 MAYOR STACK: Couple years. 18 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: -- years ago, 19 maybe six, seven years ago. This is not -- it’s 20 not overnight, so we’ve been looking at this for 21 a long, long time to recoup this land. 22 So I’ve got to congratulate the Mayor in 23 doing such a great job. 24 MAYOR STACK: It’s something that was done 25 by a prior administration. It could have been  43 1 Mayor Walter but it might have been prior to 2 Mayor Walter; I’m not sure. 3 MR. PRICE: The City -- 4 MR. DILLON: Can you just approach the mic? 5 ACTING CITY CLERK: Larry? 6 MR. PRICE: I always -- 7 ACTING CITY CLERK: Larry? 8 MAYOR STACK: Just -- just state your name 9 for the record, Larry. 10 ACTING CITY CLERK: Say your name and 11 address. 12 MR. PRICE: Larry Price, 1006 -- 13 MR. DILLON: I just need you on the mic, 14 that’s all. 15 MR. PRICE: Kevin knew. 16 I always loved that park. But I always 17 figured that was part of the Monastery Walk or 18 what -- 19 MAYOR STACK: Saint Michael’s Walk. 20 MR. PRICE: -- Saint Michael’s Walk. 21 MAYOR STACK: I did too. 22 MR. PRICE: The City -- the City actually 23 owns that property? 24 MAYOR STACK: I did too up until a couple 25 years ago.  44 1 Yeah. We actually -- that was actually 2 part of, I believe, some type of an agreement. 3 And I don’t know if it was when Mayor Walter was 4 here or maybe prior to him -- prior 5 administration, that that small piece would be a 6 park that would be open to the public. 7 MR. PRICE: Okay. 8 There was this trailer -- 9 MAYOR STACK: Right. 10 MR. PRICE: -- on that site that was the 11 sales office for -- 12 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yeah. 13 MR. PRICE: -- Saint -- 14 The land under that trailer also belongs to 15 the City? 16 MAYOR STACK: I believe -- I believe right 17 now -- and Christine’s checking the tax maps and 18 everything -- from the sidewalk on 18th Street -- 19 from the fence on 18th Street, facing 18th Street, 20 the corner of West, from there up until the 21 trailer I can guarantee belongs to the City as 22 what we know right now. Beyond that, I’m not 23 sure. 24 MR. PRICE: If it -- 25 MAYOR STACK: We’re hoping it does though.  45 1 MR. PRICE: If it includes the land under, 2 that’s -- that would be -- 3 MAYOR STACK: That’s a nice piece of 4 property. 5 MR. PRICE: That would be -- 6 MAYOR STACK: Nice piece of property. 7 MR. PRICE: -- a nice piece of property. 8 MAYOR STACK: It’s got to be about -- 9 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Sixty by 200. 10 MAYOR STACK: -- 60 by 200. It’s about 60 11 by 200. 12 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Have you taken a 13 walk by there lately? 14 MR. PRICE: Not in the last month. 15 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Well, go by it. 16 MAYOR STACK: We just did all the 17 sidewalks, -- 18 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: It’s beautiful. 19 MAYOR STACK: -- with tree planting. 20 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: The tree planting 21 on both sides. On the sidewalk and on the 22 street. 23 MAYOR STACK: We did the sidewalks from 14 24 to 21. 25 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Beautiful.  46 1 MR. PRICE: I’m planting things on my own 2 property right now. 3 MAYOR STACK: Right. 4 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: So take a walk; 5 you’re going to see how beautiful. 6 MR. PRICE: I’ll take a walk there. 7 MAYOR STACK: Yeah, take a -- tomorrow 8 they’ll be paving over there if you take a walk 9 by. 10 So hopefully we’ll have more information on 11 that over the next couple -- probably the next 12 month or so. 13 Right, Christine? 14 Please? 15 MS. VANEK: Yes. 16 MAYOR STACK: Good. 17 Okay. 18 ACTING CITY CLERK: Anybody else? 19 Okay. 20 MAYOR STACK: Anyone wishing to comment at 21 this time, please step forward, state your name 22 and address for the record. 23 Mr. Mercado, you have anything? 24 No? 25 Okay.  47 1 ACTING CITY CLERK: Is there a motion to 2 close the public comment portion of the meeting? 3 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Motion. 4 MAYOR STACK: Motion. 5 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Motion. 6 Second. 7 ACTING CITY CLERK: Motion made by 8 Commissioner Fernandez. 9 Second by Mayor Stack. 10 Roll call. 11 Commissioner Fernandez? 12 COMMISSIONER FERNANDEZ: Yes. 13 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner Rivas? 14 COMMISSIONER RIVAS: Yes. 15 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner Valdivia? 16 COMMISSIONER VALDIVIA: Yes. 17 ACTING CITY CLERK: Commissioner 18 Martinetti? 19 COMMISSIONER MARTINETTI: Yes. 20 ACTING CITY CLERK: Mayor Stack? 21 MAYOR STACK: Yes. 22 23 LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER HEARING: 24 25 APPLICATION FOR A PLACE TO PLACE TRANSFER OF  48 1 LIQUOR LICENSE NO. 0910-33-111-006 POCKET LICENSE 2 FORMERLY SITED AT 3717 KENNEDY BOULEVARD (OWNED 3 BY EL IDOLO, LLC T/A ANGELO’S CAFÉ) TO BE 4 RELOCATED TO 4215 PARK AVENUE 5 6 ACTING CITY CLERK: On the agenda we have a 7 Liquor License Transfer Hearing also. 8 MS.

So we notified the attorneys involved in 12 this and we agreed that we would adjourn this 13 matter until the next meeting. 14 MAYOR STACK: Okay. 15 MS.
