Those are participants and comparing, as you want that those would receive the miserable.

I just want to make sure that everybody can receive the same information.

Alright, as I was stating, and I also want to make sure that if there are any questions, I can answer them.

Okay, Gerardo Pichon, gracias because I can respond to the pregunta.

So again, I wanted to share some information to discuss specifically issues in the community regarding parking and enforcement of parking.

Again, as I mentioned, when individuals express their concerns, criticisms, or questions, but do so in a genuine, sincere manner, even when they're frustrated, I want to respond, especially when they are legitimate concerns.

Now I'll reiterate, I said it before, that can be subjective, what's legitimate to one may not be legitimate to all, but every now and then I try to filter what's being shared, and when it's a legitimate question, I want to address it.

So I want to thank uh Geraldo Pichon who submitted a question about overnight enforcement and early morning enforcement of parking, and I want to talk about parking in the city of Pasake.

So thank you all for joining.

I'm gonna try to answer questions later, but please let me make the presentations first, uh, and then I'll get to some questions.

Even though uh Ericsson put I Lugares if no parqueo dura una hour business, and when I levanta, I have this ticket because I think Eric, that's what I want to respond.

Hoy concentrate me solamente in this thing.

All right, I got it.

You shared why are people giving tickets out?

I know you know your mayor, and you're thinking, mayor, you have a tendency, propensity to go off on different topics and address a thousand things in one video.

Today I'm looking to focus, hyper focus, and uh and stay on topic regarding parking and enforcement of parking.

I'll try.

If somebody brings up something interesting, I might address it, but at least for the most part, I'll stay in the parking.

So give me an opportunity to address the concerns first, give a presentation on parking, and then we'll get to questions.

But let me just see, Alex, thank you for joining.

Mayor, we have a serious problem on Lincoln Street and Paul Synav.

I became a long time PASIC since 1995, we get tickets every day.

Alex, I don't want you to get tickets every day.

Let me do the presentation, guys, and we'll get to it in a minute.

Hector Laura, what do you think?

Flores, that's what I want to respond.

I'm gonna get to it.

Okay, buenas tardes.

All right, Carlita, gracias.

Okay, everybody's with us.

We're gonna talk about parking.

Let me talk a little bit about PASIC.

The city of Passake.

We just celebrate 150th anniversary.

I'm incorporated in uh, I believe it was April 2nd, 1873.

150 years.

With 3.2 square miles.

We're one of the most densely populated cities in the United States of America.

With uh according to our 2020 census, 70,000 residents.

There are a lot of cars in the city of Pisc, considering our size.

We're densely populated, we have a lot of vehicles.

Even more vehicles, as uh obviously things have changed over the years.

I've shared it before, with $99 down, zero credit, you can drive a car off the lot.

That's how some dealers advertise it.

Back in the day, only one person would have one car per family.

Now you can find five cars per family.

There are a lot of cars on the roads.

We understand that.

3.2 million of 2020, most of 70 mil residents in the ciudad.

So there are much gente in the pueblo.

But verdaderamente lo que ocurre in the años recién is that there are cars.

The volume of carros are much carrots in the carretera.

And there are much that's legitimo.

It's a critical that you understand when you say there are much carross in the city.

Give me a little bit.

Ario, yes, I know you're gonna have you're gonna have some interesting things to say, Ario.

It wouldn't be alive without your interesting feedback.

But give me a little bit.

This city is becoming more okay.

Buck.

Ah I'm staying on topic.

So let's focus on this.

Alright, let's go to some uh quick questions.

You pienso es que I have much of other cities that are union city for the ciudat para que viva taking more parquet, lo que no son de las cidades.

Um six and six year old.

I got it, Ario, I got it, I'm gonna get to it.

I got that.

Let me just get to the parking.

All right.

So Meses, we have in Passei, you know, some of you.

All right, Herbert, I'm gonna dress all that.

I don't just give me a little bit, because you you're bombarding me with questions, and I don't want to ignore anybody.

Just give me, give me five minutes to get to the presentation, and we get to questions.

Try to read a few and then I'm gonna get right to it.

Um, Buck, where they give you tickets for no park.

All right, Buckett, if we're not gonna be productive, fuck, I don't, I don't know.

I can't respond to you.

All right.

Um, you should come by Liberty Street and Pasic Garbage Clothes, refrigerator.

I'm staying on topic.

Parking.

We'll address that on another Facebook live.

Rent is also high.

Justin, there was rent stabilization, but I'm not talking about that.

We're staying on topic.

Parking.

Justin, look, stay with me.

Parking.

We're talking about parking.

Parking and tickets.

Parking and tickets.

All right.

You ready?

We're about to go.

Maria, buenas tardes, maybe, pero no solo pasake that ticket de noche, todas las ciudades.

I'm gonna answer.

What is it?

Okay, can you add a siren for street cleaning?

Jenny, that's a good idea.

I'll talk about that in a little bit.

Let me just get to this.

We have cars, but we have a lot of new buildings.

That's why we have a lot of cars also.

Louis, lose.

I'm trying to stay on topic.

It's kind of related, but we have a community that says we don't have any apartments, we need more apartments.

And then we get more apartments, and people go, we have too many people.

Apartments come with people, people come with cars.

If we want more apartments, if we need to raise our housing stock, it's gonna come with cars.

I think there are much edificious, but I think that's apartments.

Well, okay, let me do the presentation.

About to do the presentation, you ready?

Let's talk about parking.

First of all, as mayor, I can specifically point to over 700 new parking spaces that I have been able to push forward as your mayor and receive support with the administration.

I'm gonna show you.

Now I'm not just gonna talk.

I'm gonna prove it to you.

Obviously, you all know about the parking deck.

You've seen it.

This isn't promises made, and then hopefully you see it.

You're driving here every day.

Right on State Street and Passake Street, you see the parking.

But 300 park.

When you travel the noche, you can conoc.

Pero eso, eso es public.

Alright, you see it, the parking garage, the uh parking deck.

That's not promises made, and hopefully it gets done.

You see it every day.

It's getting bigger and bigger every day.

That is tangible, and that is for the public.

For the public.

Now Gerardo said, oh, that's for the benefit of City Hall.

Well, yeah, employees of the city are part of the public.

They're gonna come in in the morning, they're gonna park there, but that just frees up space around the city for you to park, and overnight that's gonna be for residents.

That's gonna help out Aspen Place, Main Avenue shoppers, that's gonna help out the businesses.

That's one.

I have uno de los programas, uno de los programas que podemos implementar.

Eso va a ver para estacionamiento para la main avenue para los comerciantes.

Eso va a ayudar para los residents of Aspen Place.

Okay, that's one parking.

Bear with me, Herbert.

Quédate conmigo.

Is that paid parking or free?

Parker.

Parker, let's talk about parking.

But you want to talk about payment.

You have to charge.

If you don't, people will leave the car for weeks.

It's so you can have turnover of vehicles.

If you, if you didn't have meters on Main Avenue, people would park their car there and leave it for two weeks.

You have to have meters to ensure the spaces get free.

But overnight, just like meters, you don't charge after 6 p.m.

Overnight it will be available, but in the morning, if you don't, if you don't ensure to regulate parking, then there's never gonna be any open spaces.

You need turnover and parking so people can use it, go shopping and then leave, not drop off their car, get on the bus and go to New York and come back at the end of the day.

We need to regulate parking, right?

So yes, there will be a paid aspect to a parking deck, and also taxpayer funded, but this I got from a grant.

I am looking to generate revenue to make more parking decks.

Remember, I have a dream project, the parking deck on Parker Avenue.

Parker Avenue.

Be familiar with that word, Parker.

It's your name.

Parker Avenue, I want another parking deck to help the people.

See, si se va a cobrar the parqueo in ese in this edificio aquí, claro, porque después los carros no se move.

It's como cuando estamos hablando de la main avenue, los metros, los parque metros.

Si uno no lo tiene, alguien va a dejar su carro, si move.

So I wanted to answer that.

Alright, let's talk about that.

That's that's 300 spaces.

Gregory Avenue.

One of the initiatives that I pushed forward, and this is a unique idea that I implemented in the city.

Maybe not completely unique.

It's not like it's never existed, but when I kept driving around, I kept wondering, we have these wide roads.

Why not go to angled parking?

Because angled parking, the amount of space in terms of the width, it's usually about five feet.

So you might be able to double and triple the opportunity for parking around the city when you do this.

I've done this on Gregory Avenue, on Broadway, different areas in the city.

Angle parking brings more parking to the city.

So you in certain cases you triple the amount of parking spaces.

So I wanted to show you those parking spaces.

I want to go to River Drive parking lot, River Drive Parking Lot.

And in the later, well, it's the new stationamiento.

And in this later, you can see it's a grama.

You can see how it was grass, the Jack Tatum Way.

And then on this side, brand new parking.

So it's 31 new spaces, public spaces.

Spaces publico.

Para ti, para mí, para todos.

Publico.

Alright, next one.

First Street and Jefferson Street.

La calle Primera in La Jefferson.

Puede ver antes lo que era, donde have camiones, no have space for stationamiento and desarroll 30 new spaces.

30 new spaces, Jefferson Street.

Benson Avenue, Benson Avenue, or rather Brook Ave, Brook Avenue, Main Ave.

Benson in front of the Animal Hospital.

You can see this used to be all grass.

That was the before.

Now it's all parking.

Take my word for it on the before.

There's a before.

It was just all grass.

But now it is all parking, 40 new spaces, 40 new spaces.

Christopher Columbus Park.

Parque de la Once, Christopher Columbus.

In unless you put it 49 nuovo spacious.

Or 43.

Before it was grass, 43 new spaces.

Alright, we're going to try to run through this because I want to get to the enforcement.

Pulaski Park, 3rd Street.

You can see it was trees and grass and dirt, unused space.

I drove by and said, I want to make that into new public parking.

I also united both of the lots, created more handicapped space, had it paved.

I had it all striped, and now we have not only 55 new spaces, but over a hundred spaces with both of the lots combined.

So that's even more parking.

Next, Myrtle Avenue, eight new spaces.

Obviously, I know you're going to say mayor, that's for the police at the substation, but they're not on the street.

So technically that frees of space on the street.

I know it's iffy.

I'll go back to Broadway.

There was a lot more in the angle parking.

I didn't add that, but it's it's there.

And in Lamito Avenue, 8 spaces on the Gramma that not utilisaba, and stationamiento, just for the policies.

But okay, you say.

Alright, Gregory Avenue, 29 spaces.

La Jefferson y La Colombia, 24 spaces, 24.

River Drive and Paulison, 31 spaces.

Paulison Avenue, 16 spaces.

Benson, 50 spaces.

William Street, 13 new spaces with angled parking in the Williams Street, First Street in Jefferson, 30 spaces.

Ridge Avenue, 31 spaces.

Pulaski Park, 55 spaces.

Pulaski Park, 4th and 3rd Street, 35 spaces.

Gregory Avenue, 22 spaces.

That's over 700 on just those alone, even though Myrtle is really eight.

And in that list it said five.

To be consistent, it's about eight spaces now.

Here's what I wanted to talk to you about.

Obviously, parking is necessary.

As I look at the screen here in front of me with the uh 700 spaces, and that makes or rather begs the question.

70,000 residents.

Mayor 700 spaces.

Understand.

But in urban communities, it's not common to come up with new parking spaces.

You can build up.

There's not a lot to build out.

It's a unique and innovative approach to identify unused space and turn it into parking.

I mean it's a demonstration of a willingness by your mayor and by my team to find more parking.

We get it.

It's not easy.

But we're trying.

But you have to encontra cose nuevas.

But we'll see.

It's about $15 million.

400 new parking spaces.

It's definitely a dream project, but that's what I want to create.

Because I think it would be special.

I'm going to show you just a demonstration.

It's going to come right in front of the camera right now.

Check it out, guys.

Right in front of the camera.

You can see it.

Right there.

That right there.

You can see assistant.

That's the best part of this live where you can't see my face.

Here, let me get it.

Thank you, Renee.

And I spend it up.

Alright, check it out.

This is my dream project.

Este mi projecto did swing.

Este projecto.

Yo estoy luchando para esto.

I'm fighting for this.

That will bring us over a thousand new parking spaces.

That's the work that I've been trying to do in our city.

I wanted to preface the conversation of parking tickets and enforcement with us so you know that there is a genuine effort and desire to address your concerns and your needs.

This has been my approach for years.

This isn't something new.

When I became mayor, I promised you more parking and I've delivered.

But I understand you want more.

I wish we could have 10,000 more spaces.

We're getting there.

Little by little.

Not to the 10,000, but to the thousands.

So bear with us.

Yo sé que getting more.

But we're gonna get me.

All right, with that said, let's talk about enforcement.

All right.

Yes, yes, I hired new parking enforcement overnight.

But I didn't make this decision in the silo.

It wasn't an arbitrary decision.

This came as a result of an outcry from the community that there was a lot of illegal parking commercial vehicles overnight, individuals impeding visibility when someone parks at a stop sign, when someone parks on a corner, they obstruct visibility on turns, and this resulted in more accidents.

This is problematic.

So after doing traffic studies, I said I'm gonna hire overnight parking enforcement.

Also, many of you asked for parking permits.

I've been pushing, fighting.

It's been tough.

I've gotten approval for parking permits in certain sections of the city.

Some of you, once we got the parking permits, got tickets and said, Mayor, why did you put parking permits?

I'm going, you're the same person who asked for parking permits.

You know who you are.

But yes, we hired overnight parking enforcement.

Police go around and give out tickets in certain areas.

Now, Geraldo, you shared a video, and I will address your specific video and then I'll answer questions, and then I'm gonna bring in some uh professional responses regarding tickets.

Okay, vamos hablar de la multas.

But this decision, you know what I'm saying arbitrarily.

Okay, the police can respond to the criminal.

You contracted people who are in the city for limping the calles of the cars comerciantes that don't even start, and station around the stop signs in the esquina because they're not when you cause accidents.

But see, if you stay violent lay, are stationed in a manner that would cause, they are sure.

You entire you have received multiple.

So you have to argue.

Alright, with that said, I understand.

Look, the police have to respond to crimes.

We have patrol enforcement officers.

There was an outcry in the community.

Now they're out there working and they're giving the tickets.

I know it's frustrating.

I've received tickets.

And I get it.

You come home late, maybe you work in the second shift.

You come home at 11 or 12, you park your car because you couldn't find any space in front of a fire hydrant, a crosswalk, in front of a stop sign, you wake up with a ticket.

I get it.

I'm talking to the officers.

But also consider that if you're obstructing visibility on a turn, you're parked illegally and an accident occurs, and the city isn't enforcing it, it could be liable.

We have a responsibility.

So I wanted to address that.

Now let me look at some of your questions and then I'm going to bring in an additional insight.

So give me a second.

Take your time.

I hope I answered.

Gave you a presentation.

There's more parking initiatives.

I also want to go two hours on parking.

I got a lot of parking initiatives.

I'm working hard on parking.

All right, let's see.

Buck, we have read your question, but I'm gonna see if you have additional city of Passake, where they give you tickets for no parking at all.

Mechanics using cars that they are fixing and putting them on the street, and we lose parking.

All right, Buck, you're contradicting yourself, Buck.

You're saying that the police are giving tickets for no reason.

I passed a new law, for it.

I address the mechanics.

Mechanics can't leave their cars out on the street to work on them.

If they're using the street as storage for their cars, the mechanics will get fined.

Not the car itself.

Because a registered car with you know plates and everything that's up to date, you can't give it a ticket for being on the street.

But the mechanics, we've been going after them, Buck.

But who does that?

The parking enforcement agents, the police.

We're going after them, we're doing the work, Buck.

Just because you don't always see it, doesn't mean it's not being done.

It's being done.

I have the law passed.

You can look up the law.

Okay, dijeron que los mechanicos pone los carros in la calle, anda siendo nada.

No, eso no es verdad.

But it's not tradition.

But all right, let me go.

Um, Nelson.

We talked about um Liberty Street.

Let me see.

Floor, more people come to the bars here, and I get stuck looking for parking for hours.

Florida, you're right.

Look, it's tough.

We want our small businesses to prosper and to succeed.

We invite people to come shop in Persake and come and receive some entertainment.

Recreation is important, nightlife.

That's the life of the city.

We want you to come and dine and maybe get wined.

Depends.

If you have a romantic partner or if not, whine yourself.

I don't know.

Wine and die yourself.

But we want you to enjoy living in the city.

We want to be a vibrant city.

We want business to grow.

We want employees to have opportunities to work.

We want business owners to do well.

But that attracts people.

And they're gonna park in the city.

Now we we try to work it out and try to get them parking or ask businesses to let them park.

We don't have control over all of that.

Some lots make themselves available and others don't.

I get your concern.

We'll try to address by creating more parking.

We have been pushing, we've been pushing for more businesses to provide parking.

It isn't perfect.

There are more vehicles on the road.

We're trying.

Alright, bear with me.

Don't be too angry at my answers.

I'm just gonna be real and tell you the truth.

Alright, dame.

Pasic street by the new taqueria.

They have some cars that don't move never.

Ada, good question.

Let's address that.

Ada, if somebody parks their car and they don't move it for 48 hours, it can be towed.

Call the police.

973-365-390.

They come, they mark the tire, and then they come and check it in two days.

If it hasn't moved, they tow it.

He said, Carro no se mueve in 48 horas.

So that's the address of that.

Mr.

An ordinance against the mechanics illegally parking will definitely help.

I did, I did 12, I put it, I put it, Mr.

Graham.

I'll call you Mr.

Graham.

I know him since we were little kids, so we got a familiarity.

Anyway, you're right.

But I did pass our ordinance, and we're enforcing it.

And they do get their tickets for storing their cars out on the street.

Alright, um, on Lexington President, there's people parking at the crosswalk, and it's also blocking the view to exit the driving.

Bellin, that's what I'm talking about, but that's what we're talking about.

We give the tickets, some people get happy.

Whoever gets the ticket gets upset.

We can't we can't block the crosswalks.

You can't block crosswalks.

And if there's a crosswalk with a stop sign, that's even worse.

I'll get to that.

No pueden blocking la linea se cruzal is a linea de cruzal.

Um, 40 tickets.

Todo el mundo tapa en la cera.

Alemina.

Yo no estoy diciendo que.

I don't know if it's a day, but I'm like, Alex, come on.

I understand hyperbole.

I'm a fan of it sometimes.

But if you're going, my block has 40 tickets and your block don't fit more than 20 cars.

Alle.

I get it, you're making the point, but come on.

However, I will discuss it with the police.

I'm going to discuss it with the police.

Alright, guys, I'm trying to get to your questions.

We're going to stick to parking.

I'm going to try.

If I miss some of your questions, forgive me, I'm trying to get to everything, but there are more drivers on the road.

You understand that, and I'm trying to address it.

Okay.

Yes, you can't block fire hydrants.

Las pompas, no la bloquing.

You're gonna get a ticket.

And firefighters are gonna start giving out tickets.

Where we are we are giving them the authority to go out and give tickets if you park in front of fire hydrants, or if you double park and block a lane and a fire truck can't get through, they're gonna give tickets.

But that's safety.

That's a safety issue.

Alright, um, Buck, let's get back to you.

Buck, you make me nervous.

I don't know if I can read yours out loud, but I'll see.

Many of you, I agree, downtown for sake is mind blowing.

Even if they have parking, a lot of public parking, there's still no space because mechanics want to take the space without Buck.

I'm with you.

Now we agree.

We're on the same page.

Buck.

If this was the page, this hand will be me, this hand will be you.

We're on the same page, Buck, you and me, like this.

Look, Buck, we're united.

We're on the same page, Buck.

I'm going after the mechanics, Buck.

Just have patience.

I'm one mayor.

I'm working with my team.

We're gonna get to them.

It's a lot of mechanics.

The laws passed.

Now the enforcement comes.

Con los mechanics, see Buck tiene Hassan, and for mechanics no van su caros en la calle.

Alright, and resident parking passes.

I'm sure that would.

And I tried it.

And you hit a nerve, and we're gonna get your full name because you hit a nerve.

I wish I had one of those buttons.

And I let you know that you hit the nerve.

You know, I remember playing Doctor, the one where you would hit the side and be like, eh, you hit a nerve.

And all right, Anne Marie Lions, is that Misco?

Amory Lions Misco.

You hit a nerve.

I tried the parking permits.

I called, I made the call to the community.

I said, come out.

You guys didn't come out.

I don't have a problem pushing for what you want.

But if you go out there and say, I got a thousand people with me on this, and you turn around and it's two people, the people you're trying to convince are gonna say, ah, you got two people with you.

I need you to unite if you really want it.

Look, if you want an initiative in Persake, I'm your guy, I'll fight for it.

But you can't have me go to that fight alone.

If that's really what you want, yeah, come with me.

I need the community united.

United, we get things done.

Come out, show your support, come to the meeting, or show up on election day so I can say, you know, you see these 10,000 people.

These people are serious and they're united.

We gotta get this initiative.

Now I don't always talk this direct, and I don't want to get off on a tangent like I said I wouldn't.

But it's you know what?

This is this is a real Friday.

So let's be real.

Let's be candid.

Alright?

You know how my name is Hector Carlos Laura, we'll go with Candy Carlos minute.

Let's split for a little bit and we'll do some Candy Carlos conversation right there.

Three C's.

Candy Carlos conversation.

Listen, you want big things?

Come out big time.

You unite, show the numbers, I'll fight for whatever you want.

I fight for whatever you want anyway, but if you want it to get done, I need super support from you, and then we can get some super things done.

That's real.

That's the truth.

Nobody gets things done on their own.

You want some big transformative stuff, then start dismissing all this division and come out together.

I fought for you.

You can see it.

You've looked around the city.

You've seen the change.

It's tangible.

I don't talk about it.

You see the work.

I'm putting in my part.

Sometimes really late at night.

I need you to come out.

Come out for me.

If you want these fights to be successful, I'll bring it up again, but I need you with me.

This isn't one of those battles, you know, you go to war for something, you need an army.

Nobody goes to war by themselves.

You and me go to war for big things, suit up.

Suit up, stand with me and let's hold the line.

If not, then we'll be discussing this for time after time after time.

That rhyme.

You know I'm upset when I start rhyming.

Alright, let's get back to uh some of the questions here.

He still hablando the permisos de parqueo.

Ustedes quieren que yo vaya a guerra para cambiar otra leyes andativas.

No me pueden dejar solo.

Ustedes me han visto, luchando, trabajando.

Ustedes cambian la community.

But if you don't sell, you have real.

Nada más se parece que yo estoy hablando de un approval de la comunidad, un respaldo que no está ahí.

You necesito que salga unido para reuniones cuando lo tenemos, para llamar and dividido para que yo vean que hay fuerza.

But when you empuje in the condado, in el Estado local, you think, mira, my pueblo is con me.

But if you can in the casa cuando viene la election, and después de la election, you can tell what is the perception that you dig on my colleagues and other officials in the condado and the state.

You say that's more real, but sincere.

Okay.

We were a little on topic.

It was just look.

Alright, resident parking.

And I spoke about it, you hit a nerve, I responded.

Alright.

Um, Eugene, traffic divisions should check the plates on cars regularly.

Many have fake plates, invalid plates.

We have LPRs.

LPRs.

L.

That's pretty good.

I came up with that.

That's not sign language.

LPR, license plate readers.

Ladies and gentlemen, we got them all over the city.

Some you can see, some you can't see.

Because we got covert operations going on in the city.

Dun dun dun.

We catch people doing bad things.

But yes, we have LPRs, and some of the uh police have them on the vehicles.

They catch the plates, they give out tickets.

Sometimes people get tickets and they go, Mayor, look, here's my registration.

It says that it's good to 2026.

And I'm like, that paper doesn't update when it got suspended when you didn't pay your tickets.

The computer said your registration is suspended.

Or the license plate is fake.

So you get the tickets and you get told it's happening.

I got it.

We're addressing it.

Okay, the license to see if the carrots have registration, it's suspended the registration, or six valid.

Thank you, Eugene.

Um, in the 40s that are parqueo and the iglesia ni el parqueo.

It's in front of the Polaski Lascu.

You create the vendor and ellos.

And the Iglesia, because the gente at the parroccia, and the parqueo, I have botellas de cerveza, I parafamelia, the drogas, and they're not con electron.

So if it's tier public, you la purify, but no se puede forzare la otra organization to sell.

Alright, in regards to the church, I think the church was sold.

Um, the one by Pulaski Park.

I think I know which one you're talking about by forestry.

That's a private development.

But I will say this, I can't force private owners to give their parking lot.

Well that's a funeral home or a grocery or a church.

I do know that some churches have tried to work with the community.

I'll give you an example.

I won't name the church, but it was one.

I mean not having Persake.

They gave its lot for public use, and then in the morning they were finding uh beer bottles, paraphernalia, certain other items that wouldn't be appropriate to mention while kids are watching.

I know kids are a little more advanced, but I'm a little old fashioned.

Let's just say things that sometimes you find when a couple might want to get a little more than romantic and didn't go home and they leave the things there.

Now imagine you go to church in the morning and you find these things in the parking lot.

Church is like we're not giving the lot to the public.

So sometimes there are extension circumstances that result in uh a private entity going, we're not giving our lots.

In an ideal world, I agree with you.

All the lots should be used.

Everyone who has a lot when it's not used should be open to the public.

We don't live in an ideal world.

Not everyone's responsible.

We'll try to make more deals, public-private partnerships to provide more parking, just because I like saying things with a whole lot of peas.

But it's also pragmatic and for the people, and it's progressive and may even bring a little bit more prosperity to the private owner.

Benefit the public in the city of Passake for the people.

All right, that's enough of that.

I'm trying to be a little bit uh funny, but I get the point.

The point.

You want more parking.

We're trying to work it out.

All right, let's get to more questions, and then I have a special guest.

Um, let's see.

Uh Aida or is that Ida, Ida.

Always check if they move the cars because people don't move the cars only for street cleaning, go by 6th Street.

Technically, Ada, if they move it, they're good.

You just can't leave it abandoned for more than 48 hours.

If you see one that's abandoned, but if you have a registered vehicle with valid license plate, and it moves for alternate side of the street, they're allowed to do this.

Unless we do parking permits.

And to do that, I already told you what we need.

You gotta come out.

You come out strong, I'll put that forward again, but I've been putting it forward since I was a councilman, I've been pushing for that.

I don't have the full support because the community wants it, but then when we fight for it, you don't show up.

It's not your fault.

I'm just trying to be real.

If you want it, you gotta come out.

Either come out to the meeting or come out on election day, because that empowers me to say, look, that's 10,000 people standing with me.

And you don't want those 10,000 people upset.

I can't have you stay home when we're ready to make the fight.

That's 30,000 registered voters.

If 30,000 people came out in an election, I'm gonna tell you this.

I'll get you whatever you want.

As long as the people agree, of course.

If you come out with all 30,000 votes, I'm like, hey, you don't want to get these people upset.

That's 30,000 people.

But if you're staying home, makes it hard for me to make a compelling argument.

Right.

Let me get to the questions.

How about South Street?

Ario, South Street, we're working on the parking.

Listen, there's a particular business that I've already sent a letter that if they don't do what they're supposed to, we're gonna take the lot and we're gonna open it up for public parking.

Right on South Street.

I'm gonna make that happen.

I'm gonna work that out.

You'll see.

So stay with me.

I'm gonna announce that soon.

See, but I'm a book parquero on South Street, Ario.

All right, Anne Marie, I do although appreciate the effort in creating extra parking.

That's what I'm talking about, and I appreciate the encouragement.

Sometimes it feels like it's all criticism.

All right, um, Joab, Joe Brody, on Quincy Street and Lexington, there are two mechanic shops whose owners live in Patterson and have six and seven park vehicles for months, and no one says anything, and we have gotten tired of calling the police and even writing to you about the situation.

All right, Joab, listen, when'd you write to me?

I know that's not the point.

I know you say, mayor, that's the part you read.

No, I get it.

No, they live in Patterson.

They can live in Patterson.

There's nothing wrong with Patterson.

I love Patterson.

I love the people in Patterson.

That's the third largest city in the state of New Jersey.

God bless Patterson.

They also start with the P.

But you've reached out to me.

I you gotta show me.

Because people tell me, may I write to you all the time.

And then when I call them personally, I say, give me your number.

I said, When'd you write to me?

Technically, I just wrote to you today.

Joe, this is the first time you're telling me this.

That's not fair.

You can't just post up.

I've been writing you all this time, and it's the first time I've read it.

In regards to uh cars that are being abandoned, I promise you that the police have heard your concern as of right now.

Give me a few minutes and I'll prove it to you.

All right, let me see.

You should put meters down Passake Street.

I did.

We expanded the meters down Pisake Street.

Go go past um State Street.

You'll see.

We added more meters.

I mean, I can go all the way downtown, but you're gonna get a lot of people upset in the daytime.

I'll do a study.

You want meters?

I got you.

I'll put the meters.

But you better come out and fight with me when people start yelling.

You don't have to, you're not the mayor.

I I got thick skin.

I'll take the criticism.

I'll look into it for you.

All right.

What about by school one and school 15?

Luis, where, where by school one?

Tell me.

Look, you have the Salvation Army.

I wish I had the money to buy the Salvation Army and take the parking lot and say, here's parking by school one, right?

Which is, you know, academy.

Now, here's the problem with it.

I could, I could use city money, and then taxes go up, and it will be a one-time fix because they're gonna get me out of here.

You know it.

You know it's true.

I can't use tax money to start buying property and create parking.

I want to create that $15 million parking deck on Park App.

I'm trying everything.

I've reached out to everyone.

Listen, there's a lot of people running for governor.

All you great candidates.

All you wonderful governor candidates.

If you're looking for an enthusiastic endorsement from a particular mayor in one of the most densely populated cities in the state of New Jersey, perhaps talk to me about funding the parking deck downtown.

Because if you can fund my parking deck, that is reason enough for me to consider endorsing.

However, if that is not compelling, then let me address anyone running for Congress or Senate or potentially president.

If you're interested in an endorsement, I'm willing to talk about my endorsement if you're willing to give something to Pasake.

Because I don't need anything for me, but I do want something for Pasake.

This message, though perhaps not uh directly approved by the city of Pasake, is Hector approved.

And so I need a parking deck.

If you if you give me a parking deck, I'll in case you didn't get it.

If I would if that was too subtle, if you give me a parking deck, I'll endorse you.

I just want my parking deck for the city of Pisake.

All right, let's go to the next.

Where on Parker?

Oh, right in front of the church.

Right in front of church, like by Sherman by Quincy.

There's two lots right before the school, right before number 10 school.

One lot belongs to the city, one lot belongs to the Archdiocese.

I want to unite both the lots and create 410 spaces.

This is it, right here.

This is what I want to create.

Right there by Parker Avenue.

So I need your support on that.

All right, let me see if I can get through the last of these, and I'm gonna bring my special guest.

Do something about all of the out of town school vans parked in our neighborhoods.

Gio, during during the daytime, they could park here.

At nighttime, I have addressed it.

They all came in protest, remember?

Because I was addressing it so much.

I was giving them tickets, told them they couldn't park, they kept protesting.

I have addressed it.

All right.

That shit, he should let that go.

I don't want to give off on another topic, but it's you won.

Somebody, somebody tell Kendrick he won already.

You should let that go.

All right, Mr.

Minor.

The worst part is that the police will ticket cars of people that work hard every day for that money for them to just write up tickets.

Minor Garcia, the police, they don't know whether you work or not.

Like when they look up the license plate, it doesn't say minor has just finished a 16-hour shift.

If you parked on the crosswalk, if you parked on the fire hydrant, you get the ticket.

Not everyone gets it, because sometimes the police miss it.

But when they see it, they give the ticket.

For real.

There's no conspiracy here.

At least not in parking.

There are some conspiracies around.

That's just I've been watching too much TikTok.

It has me worried.

I don't know.

We'll talk about those later.

All right, let me see.

And the Polaski and Frente ahí hay un parqueo debieron de construir para arriba y ayudar también.

Yerki, what is it?

Yopis?

Yopis Ivan, we are.

I'm adding 55 new spaces at Pulaski Park.

I can't do a parking deck there.

There's no space there.

We have to be practical.

Cito es siendo nuevo estacionamiento in a Polaski Park.

See.

Alright.

My pregunta is, Segural poniendo tickets por la noche.

She said, what are you going to get out of giving tickets overnight?

The people stop blocking uh fire hydrants, stop blocking crosswalks, stop obstructing visibility and causing accidents.

That's what we get.

And the commercial vehicles don't stay overnight.

All right.

Also, mayor, residents are not considering their neighbors by messing up parking spaces.

Yes, Alex Velaz Lopez.

That's from talking about.

Sometimes the neighbors call.

You think it's always us.

I'm not trying to rat on anybody.

Sometimes it's the neighbors.

Not your neighbor.

Your neighbor's great.

It's some other neighbor.

Don't go start a fight with your neighbor.

I don't want to start fights.

But sometimes it's a neighbor who says, hey, these people are parked here.

There's some people, they just look out the window, excuse me.

I think about that.

I was a picture.

There's some people who just look out the window constantly looking for something to call the cops on.

They say there's three cars parked on the corner.

The cops show up because it's recorded.

They put in a complaint.

They give the tickets.

I mean, it's solo vecinos.

But I otra vecinos cabezas.

All right, listen.

I'm gonna take a break because I'm holding a special guest here.

I'm gonna invite a special guest over.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our deputy chief of the Passake Police Department, Deputy Chief Louis Gentile.

Then the monetovice de la policía, vicefe, uh Louis Gentile.

Deputy Chief, come on by, grab a chair.

See if you can get a chair.

I'm gonna read a few questions.

You might need to bring that up.

Bring the chair up because that's really low.

I'm gonna look like a talk show host.

Like I'm one of those talk show hosts.

I feel like one of those talk show hosts, I'm too high.

I feel like I have to ask you a question.

So how long have you been in this?

Tell us.

Are you here to plug a new movie?

What's going on?

You gotta bring the seat up.

Alright, we're gonna bring a different chair.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're having some technical difficulties.

And uh somebody should give the ticket to the chief for uh bad chair, please.

All right, Chief, that looks good.

Fancy chief.

Now it'll be too tall.

Right, you're right.

Chief is fancy.

Come on in, Chief.

Okay, tenemos la policía.

La silla va a muerita para eso.

I don't think his feet touching the ground right now.

All right, it's good.

Chief, dangling his legs.

That's not good.

All right.

All right.

So I know you guys have some questions for the chief of police.

We're gonna go all the way down, but Chief, if you can share some things and then uh we'll try to translate.

Let me see.

Mayor, desde el verano pasado, hay tres coches que no los año no los an los año movido.

Rex.

Movido, uh the sea esos carros están abandonados, uno tiene brisa roto, los policias dice que no pueden hacer nada.

Rex, you think policial que me mito?

Rex says there's been an abandoned vehicle.

Three, three abandoned vehicles, and then they're they're not moving, and the police have been told, and the police aren't doing anything.

Chief, if somebody leaves an abandoned vehicle on the street, what are the police gonna do?

Is it nothing?

You can't do anything about it.

You can't tell me you can't do anything.

We're gonna do something.

All right.

Right away.

You let's cars out.

Let us know if it's something.

Do something.

If you let us know where those cars are, we first have to issue it a warning for 24 hours.

If it's still there after 24 hours, we could tow the vehicle for not moving.

Every vehicle has to move within a 24 hour period.

Chief, I've been telling anybody 48 hours.

They told me the second day you can move it.

So you're saying after 24 hours?

Yeah, you could tell it.

So if you if you if you come and check at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and you mark the car, and the next day at 12 o'clock in the afternoon you mark the car, and it hasn't moved, you can tow it after 24 hours.

Correct.

Okay.

So, ladies and gentlemen, it's got shorter.

I've been told by ordinance it was 48 hours.

The chief is saying 24 hours, we have that verified, Chief.

Uh-uh, you want me to triple check?

Please triple check.

I'm gonna triple check.

I'm sure you're right.

The chief may be able to say he may say that you can tow it after 24 hours.

I just want to double check because I want to give you accurate information.

Correct, Maria.

But Maria, you're not haciendo, he said, Hudson, and La Lexington, and La Mirth Avenue, and La Gregory and La Broadway, it's time in invierno.

She said, why don't we paint parking spaces?

I have been doing it.

I did on Hudson Street, Myrtle Avenue, Main Avenue, Lexington in different areas, Gregory and Broadway.

But now we're gonna start uh doing it in the spring.

We don't do it in the winter because of the snow and the weather conditions.

All right, Chief, you got some time, you got you got any updates?

Where are we at?

The mayor was right, I was wrong.

48 hours.

48 hours for ordinance.

I'm not gonna say the chief was wrong.

What I'm gonna say is that if there are other extenuating circumstances, they could tow in 24 hours.

Because you may have said it's been there for a week.

If they find that the car has anything suspended, they could tow.

So sometimes they can check within 24 hours, but if they get verified that it is abandoned, they can tow.

But it is 48 hours.

48 hours.

So I just want to give you realistic expectations.

So encoding the otro orders.

Um, all right, Chief, let's go to the next question.

Um, mayor, what are you doing about all the school vans from towns like uh Lake Hiawatha, Parsippene, Pinesbrook, parked all over the streets of Persake, taking up resident parking.

Why are they not getting ticketed?

Gio, they can park during the day, right?

The school vans.

Any commercial vehicle can park during the day, but after 10 o'clock, they can't be parked on the street.

So ordinances, the mayor, you've done a lot with that.

So and to not make it very confusing here on this live, you have S1s, S2s, you have different types of commercial vehicles, different types of buses, different.

So we can update you on the ordinances as far as when they could park, when they cannot park.

But what I will tell you is the mayor has done so much.

Our traffic department has done so much.

Captain Burnett identifying which vehicles could be parked, Captain Rivera when he was there.

So the mayor's done a lot of work with that.

We could update, maybe the mayor will post the ordinances as far as S1s and S2s and how long they could be parked and when they could be parked.

But the mayor's done a lot of work on that.

Our traffic department is very aware of it.

Our patrol divisions very aware of it.

And that has been addressed.

Believe me.

That has been identified.

There's been a far less issue with that because there were, to the public's credit, a lot of these vehicles that were being parked there, being allowed to be parked overnight, some during the day that shouldn't be out there during the day, but it is absolutely being addressed.

Okay.

We're gonna work with that.

All right, Miss uh they are getting ticketed.

If they park overnight, they are getting ticketed.

Um hold on, I just uh I just had it.

Let me see, Miss Evelyn Barbo said we have vehicles blocking our driveway, and we call to have them told, but they just get ticketed.

Chief, if someone blocks your private driveway, so your driveway belongs to you, you pay taxes.

Your own.

And you pay taxes.

Okay.

Some say too much taxes.

You personally, you say too much tax.

I understand.

I'm trying to work on that.

And they call the cops.

I can't get out.

I have to go somewhere.

The mayor said we should come to the meeting.

I can't.

I'm being blocked in my driveway.

Do you get a ticket or do you tow it in your own personal driveway?

The cops show up.

Someone else.

Somebody else is blocking your driveway.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Is it a ticket or a tow?

So the mayor made an ordinance where if it's your driveway, your own personal driveway, yes, you could park your car there.

But someone else can't block your own carriage.

So what's the consequences?

So you're talking to someone.

So I'm gonna tell you what the police do.

What we do is, yeah, absolutely get a summons.

You could also get towed.

But I'm telling you now, the officers are instructed, and they do what I see they do it.

They're gonna do a little two-two-two-too real loud with the sirens, right?

They're gonna put the lights on.

They're gonna knock on doors.

They're gonna say, hey, look, what does this plate come back to?

And then they're gonna go knock on the door and go, hey, can you move your vehicle?

What we have in the city of Pasake is we have a lot of vehicles that are registered, not to the city of Pasik.

Not that we don't have a lot of residents that are parking in Pasake, but if they have a registration from another state, from another city, from another now.

We can't go knock on their door.

But if their plate comes back to Pasake and they're parked really close, we're gonna actually knock on the door.

Say, hey, can you move the car?

But you will receive a summons.

But Chief, if I'm blocking a driver and I need to get out, will the police tow the car if it doesn't move?

Yeah, if we cannot identify the driver, get them to come move their car, yes, we're gonna tell it.

Okay, see alguien says staciona la tentative driveway and no pueden identificar el dueño del carro and so viene the vice of the policy, Luis Gentil.

All right, Mr.

Parker, we'll look at whether we can paint yellow lines.

Those are restrictive in terms of how much parking you take away.

We're trying to add parking.

Yellow lines take away parking, but we'll do a traffic study.

All right.

Let me see.

Uh Florida's La Policias.

He said the police aren't here to protect, they hear the I say the word uh in a different way to hassle the public.

The police are here to protect.

And so receiving the tickets.

I've received tickets.

Let's be fair to the police.

We want them to move somebody else's car.

We get upset when it's us and it's our car that's doing wrong.

Let me see if we get to specific questions.

Okay, 183rd Street, you know vive la persona que puso desacapacitado, ya se fue.

That's a good question.

All right.

If you no longer live in a place, but you still have the designated handicap, call our city.

973 365, 5510.

Um, see alguien tiene un parqueo estacionamiento de capacitado y todavía no vive ahí, ya se mudó.

Or desafortunadamente falleció, chame en la ciudad.

But si pasa dentro del año, they can't para quitarles estacionamiento.

Sometimes you find out before we do this, someone unfortunately passed away or moved away, and they're not using the handicap anymore.

Let us know.

Call 973-365-5510.

We'll address it for you.

And we'll remove it.

Alright, let me see.

Mr.

Mayor, as a former member of our youth council, I've learned that advocating is essential.

I would like to ask Ms.

Jezebel Fernandez.

Um neighbors, procedures for neighbors double parking.

In front of my house on Harveston Street, there is a there is enough space for two cars to park.

Because parking on my street has become scarce, neighbors will park their vehicle in the middle of both parking spots as a method to save parking, which I assume is for their family members.

However, some people will try to fit their vehicles in the snug space that is left over, which leads the driveway of my house to be blocked.

My parents pay property taxes.

And it is not fair that guys, I'm not sure if the live is back on.

I think we had a temporary stop.

Let me see if we're actually back on.

It doesn't appear.

Okay, it looks like we're back on.

I'll let you know if we're back on.

Sorry, we have some technical difficulties.

I'll just confirm if we're actually live.

Okay, we are live.

All right, guys, we're live.

So, sorry, Jezebel, sorry, we have some battery issues very quickly, Jezebel.

Um, yes, I'll address it with the chief of police.

If someone's blocking your driveway, and because they're blocking your driveway, and people are trying to save spaces, but they're saying it's not insufficient or it's not sufficient sufficiently blocked.

They there's still enough space to get out.

I'll discuss this regarding an ordinance because technically you have to be impeded from getting out of your driveway for there to be a tow or a ticket.

That'll get addressed to ordinance is a good point.

Thank you, Jezebel, for sharing.

I know many disconnected when the battery went dead.

Hopefully you'll come back for the answer, but thank you, Jezebel, for that question.

Isabel dice si alguien participando el driveway, si le pueden dar un ticket.

Thank you for that.

Mr.

Mayor, there seems to be people that park in their one driveway that block the sidewalk.

That can the police do about it.

That's a good question, Jimer.

You cannot impede the driveway.

Call the police, they can get a ticket.

You cannot park on the sidewalk.

You cannot.

I understand what you're saying.

They park on the entrance of their driveway and they block the sidewalk.

Um, if if it's temporary, you're just dropping something off, there's leeway.

Obviously, the police aren't going to get there in time.

If they're leaving it for an extended period of time, they can get a ticket for obstructing the pathway, the pedestrian pathway.

So call the police.

It's not a 911 call.

It's more over 973-365-390, General Police Call.

Okay.

Um, if you need a handicap parking, you can apply at our engineering department for handicap parking.

Passake Engineering, that's located at uh 873 Main Avenue in Passake, New Jersey at our DPW site.

You can go there and apply at engineering for a handicap space.

Let me see.

Alcalde, in the market, Delhi, siempre are carross and parking and double parking yes in Peligro.

Yes, Leon, there is double parking by Market Street.

See, I parqueo del double or la Market Street.

But there are much negotiations.

Tratamos de entender, pero si vamos a mandar más policials.

Si no enforzamos, vamos a tener desorden.

Tatamos de hacerlo in una balance.

Alright, let me see.

Will more police be hired for the next civil service test this year?

Louis Zayas, I am considering, but we have a tough budget.

So I never want to hire so much that we may have to lay off in the future.

I try to be very pragmatic in who we bring on.

And some people get very excited at the idea, hey, hire 200 more police.

It means taxes are gonna go up significantly.

Now if you're with it, the taxpayers tell me, mayor, we want 300 police.

We'll pay whatever we need to pay.

I'm your mayor.

Here to do what you ask.

Not always, but within reason, where collectively it serves the interests of the whole of the city.

I don't have support to hire as many people as I want.

So we try to maximize the resources that we have and make sure we have sufficient police to patrol the city.

Okay?

That's a response to that.

But yes, if there are more retirees, I will be looking to replace those who retire.

Do you have anything to say about that?

Cars only move when there's a street sweeper.

Yes.

Well, again, another initiative mayor very early when he came in.

He wanted to make sure that the streets were being cleaned.

If people were receiving summonses, right?

So the initiative is yes, when a street sleeper goes by, goes comes uh into a neighborhood, that's when summonses are going to be issued.

So they are saying that the cars are being moved when street sheepers come, that's a good thing.

They're saying they only move.

They abandonment, they abandon the car, they only move when the street sweeper comes.

So they only move when the street sleeper goes through.

Yeah.

And never uh and then leave it there for like days.

That's a problem.

If it's 48 hours, we can take it.

That's a problem.

Si passa 48 horas, llama y se lo llevamos.

Uh, a Miss Kathy Martin says, I wish I had a mayor in DC like the Passake has.

I'll let you answer that.

Go ahead.

Having a Miss Kathy Martin was a very great benefit to the city of Passake, also.

I would add to that.

He said nobody told you to leave.

Where are you at?

Wait, wait, is Kathy over?

Come back.

Where are you at?

Where you at Cat.

We have a hot we have a few houses for sale.

Come to Pasake.

Alright, let me see.

Alright, let me see.

Carmen Gonzalez.

But I have vecinos that are afraid.

Vecinos residents of the Ciudad Passei.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have a driveway, use it and open up space in your block.

The Bible says, love thy neighbor.

So you love yourself.

The greatest demonstration of love, well, according to the scriptures that one would lay their life down for another, as the Lord did, and that's whole theology and salvation.

But in terms of driveway and parking, a great demonstration, maybe not the greatest, a great demonstration of love is to care for your neighbor by providing an additional parking space by using your driveway.

Use your driveway.

Listen, I get it.

Sometimes me and my wife put both of our cars in the driveway when it's really busy on the street.

And sometimes we park on the street.

It can be difficult.

But when you know that it snows and it's challenging, put your car in your driveway.

It's going to make a difference.

So I've heard from minor, and then I heard another gentleman earlier that you mentioned.

Um sorry I forgot his name.

But I have a question for the public.

Why the police or PEOs issue summonses?

And I'm open to responses.

I've asked this of officers and I've got some interesting responses.

Why do police or PEOs issue summonses?

Let me say a PO is a patrol enforcement officer for those of you who don't know.

PO they're hired by the police department, but they're civilians who give out tickets, patrol enforcement officers with authority when they give out tickets.

Why do you think they give tickets?

Now, me being politically savvy, I would never ask that question as it opens up a Pandora's box of individuals.

Okay, good point.

Alright, he wants to create issues on my life.

He could do his own life.

Apparently, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Deputy Chief Gentiles Live.

I'm just, I guess, you know, it's it's his world.

I'm just a squirrel trying to get a little nuttier in his live.

Ladies and gentlemen, Deputy Chief Gentiles Live.

He has a question.

I don't think anyone answered that.

All right, Chief.

Have at it.

I'm gonna read other people's questions.

I don't think they answered though.

No, it goes all the way on the bottom.

We got hundreds of okay.

Just to be clear, one doesn't need a permit on the weekend from Friday to night.

Well, you just asked the question.

It's gonna come, Chief.

Um, Friday night to Sunday, correct?

Well, you need a permit for specific areas in the city.

It depends on how the ordinance is read.

So you have to tell me what area you're talking about.

Um, let's see.

Andy, you should do parking permits for the residents only and not a Andy.

I want to do parking permits.

I said it so many times.

You want parking permits?

Come out and vote.

So I can have the power to push for it.

Because I've been pushing for it for years.

And every time I say the whole community wants it, two people show up.

When I tell people there's tens of thousands of people voting, and only a few come out.

How do I get this done?

You can't go to war without an army.

Some of these ordinances, you gotta go to war.

Andy, I'm just being real.

You want me to make change?

Come out, man.

Don't stay in.

I need everyone together, and then we can make it happen.

I've answered it, I'll get off my soapbox.

All right, let me see.

Mr.

Mayor, does the city consider implementing parking stickers for the people who live in Passai?

Giovanni.

I've said it so many times.

I'll do it.

I'll push for parking permits again.

But I need the people.

You gotta come out.

We have 30,000 registered voters.

Come out.

Come out and vote so I can show the power of our people and push for the permits for Passate.

That's a whole lot of peas.

I need your help.

We have potential to get the progress.

But if you don't come out, we got a problem.

See all those peas?

They're important.

Seriously, you want parking permits?

Come out.

Man, just come out during the election.

Come out during the meetings.

Let people know that we have a lot of numbers and we're strong.

Because as a leader, I can't stand up against my colleagues or go to the county or the state for initiatives when the people aren't coming out.

I'm being real.

This is some candid talk.

You know, there's the mayor Hector, this government, then it's Candy Carlos.

I'll get real with you and tell you what's up.

Without your vote, I don't have the capital to move things forward.

I need you to come out so I can say me and this whole army need this initiative.

But when I'm like me and two other people out here trying to fight, it doesn't have the same impact.

Let's get to the chief's question on the chief's live.

All right, let me see if anybody answers.

Um tell me when and where.

That's what I'm talking about, Patriots.

I'll let you know.

I'll let you know.

But you know, I'll go on the lives.

I say, come out.

Elections, they happen all every year.

Come out and vote together.

So people see that we're strong and we come out and we evolve.

But in terms of meetings, I'll put them up.

I'll do the town hall meetings, but show up.

Because together we can get whatever we want done as a community if it benefits all.

But if you don't come out, then it's just stuff we talk about.

If you don't come out, it stays just stuff we talk about.

We want to change it from what we talk about to what we make happen.

Let's get it done.

All right.

In the street cleaning, sing read sign reads 10 to 12, and the sweeper pass at 10.30.

Can you park on the side of the street?

Yes.

If it passed, I also put a law that the traffic enforcement must follow the street sweeper.

It can't give you a ticket if it's not with the street sweeper.

Now, once the street has been cleaned, you can park back on the street.

You don't have to stay off it the whole time.

I shared that when I first became mayor.

I changed that law right away to provide more parking.

All right.

Mary M.

Yes, I'll let you know.

All right, let us know when the meeting will be held.

Giovanna Rosa, I will, I will.

But come out when I'm like, let's gather together.

When I'm like, let's form, you know, run around individually for those of you who grew up in the 80s, but when when I make the call to Voltron, if we don't have an arm and a leg, we don't fall.

You have a Voltron.

Get all the lines together.

All the lines, the legs, the arms, body, the head, and then we're strong.

So when I say unite, let's unite.

And then we could fight.

And then we can get things done.

And that'll be alright.

Then once it's finished, we can say goodnight.

All right, all right.

Parker, they don't believe voting makes a difference.

Voting does make a difference.

I know.

You're cynical, you're jaded.

Sometimes you voted for people and go, nothing's happened.

I got it.

I got it.

I'm in the system.

So I get it.

But I'm being real.

If you come out in large numbers, we make big things happen.

Come out.

Doesn't matter which election, just keep coming out.

It takes five minutes to make a huge difference, man.

You come out, people see it.

And those officials that you're coming out for, they're empowered to stand strong and say, listen, my people voted me in here to make this happen.

Alright, I've made that point.

I've kind of beat the house.

Alright, Roca Acalde, what's in Bicycleta is atraves and not respect.

Alright, Roacher said, can you talk about the bikes, the people who ride bikes on sidewalks or on the streets and uh bump into people and don't respect the rules?

Are they subject to the same laws as cars?

Traffic lights and everything.

Are we talking about electric bikes or bikes?

All bikes.

Yeah, there's traffic laws for bikes.

Absolutely.

Now whether it's uh motorized bike or a bicycle, there's different laws that apply.

But there are laws of safety for both.

Absolutely.

Okay, I lay the carros and the bicycletas.

La policía le standing multas a la bicicleta van a seguir trabajando, pero see ISCOMIRS y no pueden andar in la calle hacia lo que de la gana.

Jesse said, keep asking.

Some parking officers only ticket certain cars, and it's not fair.

Jesse, there's a difference.

Let me give you a difference.

Heraldo, are you still on?

Heraldo, I hope you still want.

I know I said I would address you.

Geraldo, if you're still on, I want to show you the video.

Heraldo, you posted up a video.

Heraldo, si tu todavía está ahí, tu pusita un video.

And the question is why do some cars get tickets and some cars don't?

Geraldo, tu pueden ver que donde tu parqueate, aquí había un crosswalk, but stop sign.

So rewind that video.

Go back to the stop sign.

Don't show people license, but once we get to the stop sign, you're gonna pause.

Alright, wait, pause.

A little bit more.

Alright, pause.

Heraldo, la difference, tu preguntate la differenza, y te quiero responder honestamente.

Ese carro estaba stationado donde había un stop sign and un crosswalk.

It's un doble the violation de la ley.

But so in algunas, la violation is un poco más grave que la otra.

Guys, what I was gonna tell you is that some violations and all violations can be ticketed.

Some are more serious than others.

You parked where there was a crosswalk and a stop sign.

That's a double violation.

And also, because of the oncoming traffic, if you're gonna make a right turn and there's a vehicle on the corner and someone's gonna make a left turn in, you can result, or rather, your parking on that corner can result in an obstruction of visibility, which can result in an accident, and that could be fatal.

So some police, yes, they'll give tickets when the violation is a little more serious than a minor violation, like you just parked in a dead end and there's a crosswalk and it's overnight, and there's no reasonable expectation that people are crossing.

But other than that, yes, double violations.

That's like parking on the sidewalk, there is street cleaning in the snow.

You're like, why'd I get the ticket?

My man, you you broke every law in the book and added some.

That's what could happen.

Heraldo, I understand you're frustrated, but that's what occurred.

Heraldo, you say, I gente que tienes la ley and un estacionamiento, socorro arriba de la seda, and el día de nieve, cuando quiere pasar la pala, uno dice, violate toda la ley at allíamlo ecrito.

Algunas situations, el carro está parky in one lado, donde puede causar un accident, it is a carro, then no, no, no, no chance.

For this, hopefully that answered that question.

When are the town meetings?

I'll let you know, and then the council meetings.

They happen uh twice a month.

Twice a month on Tuesdays, typically sometimes on Thursdays.

They posted up on the city website.

Alright, let me see.

Jesse Tapia, take a picture and forward it to the investigation, please, and thank you.

Alright.

Yes, you're receiving some community.

You have the duelist of Fiesta, ellos are compromised the proprietors a reader for tratar.

It's a problem.

Let me see.

Jose Luis Aguilar.

He said a lot of cars have recently been going through red lights, Chief.

I've noticed it as well.

Can we step up traffic patrol and individuals going through red lights?

Absolutely.

And spoke to the officers a lot about that.

You're gonna see officers much more aware, paying a lot more attention to that.

Today we had enforcement, anyone that was out there, you saw a lot of cops on Route 21 for speeding and such, but moving violations are something that's very important that we have to be on top of.

Motorized bikes and uh motorized vehicles, they're not respecting drivers, they're cutting in between the parking reckless driving.

How are you dressing that?

When we do see that, we will stop those motorized bikes when we could.

I think you do also see that they have a tendency to be kind of shifty and get away from law enforcement.

But when we see it, we address it immediately.

We are stepping up and looking for find ways to identify the driver and then write summons to the driver afterwards if we can't stop the driver at that point.

So that's good for the public to know too.

Because a lot of times they may see that oh, the cops didn't do anything.

You may not know what's happening behind the scenes.

There's cameras, there's pictures we take, there's videos we recover.

If we identify the driver through those means, we could also issue summons is through the mail.

They don't respond to it, warrants get put out for them, they end up having to come back to court.

So you don't always assume that cops are not doing something because they didn't do it at that moment.

There are other methodologies that we we approach violations of such that you mentioned.

Seriously suck on my face because I have to translate all that.

Kind of hoping that it was gonna be.

Alright, guys, here's here's what's going on with that.

Give me one second.

So it's in motores the battery or bicycletas of battery, much of yourself.

Obviously, no, yes, because I have investigation and you encuent simply because you know loan, okay.

Let's see.

Yo soy el de la bicycleta.

See, José Luis, pero manejando tu bicycleta por those city.

Alright.

Perla, a mi me pusieron un ticket when you pass the barriadora, solo faltando 10 minutos para the dossier.

Solo falta 10 minutos para 20 minutos, ando que have a casa y cuando volvió la variadora y salir de casa rapid and official me vio y hasta rapid in my carro, and the square, but ellos no le pusieron tickets, and we dice oh no te vi, I cameras in a casa que pueden sustener esto y las cameras de la escuela.

You say that you are frustrated.

You entire.

But no accusations.

Not trying to see.

Nothing received promotion, no incentive for my ticket.

But no te pong accusations or accusations that don't have base.

Seguramente not in my casa.

I don't have much dinner.

City of Pac.

Pearl said that the police officers they give out tickets even though the sweeper left.

They do it around the schools, they give it to some, they don't give it to others, they avoid the teachers, but they give it to the residents.

Here's the thing.

Perlo also wrote they're doing this because they get commissions from each ticket.

That's not the case.

That's not how things work.

Perla don't make allegations, things like this.

We have to be serious.

Perl, there are no incentives.

Nobody gets promoted because they wrote more tickets.

You don't get a bonus because you wrote more tickets.

Tickets are written because that's their job.

If you have a video showing that they were inconsistent, bring it.

We'll take it to the court, we'll have your ticket removed.

If you have evidence, we'll work with you.

We're just trying to regulate and keep our streets clear.

Okay.

And that was one of the reasons why I asked the public.

Why do you think officers issue summons?

It's good for that that the public is aware that there's an absolute correlation between summonses and accidents.

Right?

So let's just say hypothetically, don't want to put any numbers out there, that there's a few hundred accidents per month in the city.

If you look at your enforcement, which is writing summonses, you will see that that is low.

And that's why there's more accidents.

More accidents mean more injuries.

More accidents mean more deaths.

Right?

More deaths, I don't have to fill in.

That means you know a lot.

So without issuing in summons, you lose the awareness of things.

Summonses are issued for awareness.

They're not issued for monetary reasons.

Like the marriages, they're not issued for promotional, they're not issued.

Mayor's not driving around the 200,000 dollars Mercedes because it doesn't work like that.

Right?

It does not work like that.

The way it works is there's an absolute correlation between issuing summonses and people being safer.

Because it brings awareness.

That's what it brings.

Somebody asked me once, oh, I've been asked this in my career.

What's some of the hardest things you've ever done?

And I could, there's a long list of that, but the hardest thing I've ever had to do is being at an accident scene.

And I've been at many.

Where somebody lost their life.

And now the family comes.

And at that moment they realize, although we try to be sensitive about it, not kind of revealing too much information to 100% sure, but they know.

I don't want to be gruesome, but there could be body parts or something.

They know what the finality is.

And you get that soul cry from that family, from that mom, from that grandmother, from that husband, from that wife, from that child.

And I'm telling you, it's a direct correlation of not issuing enough summonses.

Because summons is being issued brings awareness.

Slowing down a little bit at that stop sign.

These cause crashes, cause injuries, cause deaths.

So it's a correlation between awareness of writing summons, safety of residents.

It's all a big correlation.

So dice that's a responsibility.

Geraldo Pichon said his car was the wine colored car.

So this is not your car.

The white one is not your car.

Your car is the other.

This is the one at the stop sign.

So Geraldo, you did that for the car that no received.

El Martes, vent at the ayuntamiento.

Geraldo, I mean not your carro, but we'll try with this.

We'll talk about that together.

You guys need bike lanes on Main now.

But walk on that teddy, we're working on that with engineering to add more bike lanes.

We did it on Lexington app.

We'll add some more.

I may not have.

We did it on Broadway as well.

Alright, um, Alexis Common Sense is not always so common.

Alexis.

Um, let me see.

The white card didn't have any tickets.

I got it, Nelly.

I just got it.

I didn't get it before, thank you, Nelly.

I didn't have it before.

I'm not sure if we're frozen right now.

How are they sure that the white car didn't get tickets?

Because the guy who got the ticket is the one with the video tape.

He just sold the video tape.

So ayuda por 3600 mes de renta la duena no me deja.

Mayra, mandame la información porque uh are we frozen?

I still see it live.

Oh, okay.

It seemed like we were frozen for a bit.

It might just be my phone.

Listen, guys, and we'll talk about rent on another time.

There seems to be a little bit of technical difficulty on my phone, but I'm gonna go to some of the last questions and we're gonna finish up.

Next on Passake Mundo.

Jorge Martinez, that's funny.

That's funny.

Listen, we might start a new show, the Candy Carlos Show.

But we just talk for real.

Oh, perdón, perla.

Disculpa, Pella.

Okay.

Let me see if there's anyone else responding.

Let me see if there's any other.

Alright.

Abril.

Abril Borales.

Abril, the grand leader in the ciudad, due to Aichihua, Aichihua, donde buscate the burritos.

Or qualquer comida, California Raw, Caribbean Roll, Todo Rose.

La comida mejor, excelente, deliciosa.

Pasa por I Chihuahua.

That's not good.

Yes.

Let me see.

I couldn't have said it better.

A brief, it's important that we voice our opinion and share our concerns and be present in all activities, and then we get things done.

Maria, what can we do about people who have their handicapped parking spot and yet tend to park either in front or behind their designated spot?

Maria, that's a good question.

I started an initiative and passed an ordinance.

It's called the use it or lose it.

Use it or lose it.

If you have a handicap space and you're not using it, we'll take it away.

Send us a picture.

Snap a picture.

Get a picture.

Send it to us.

Maria, and if somebody is parking outside of the handicap and saving the handicap for someone else, we will remove their handicap, but we need evidence.

We don't give out handicap designation.

That comes from the state.

So it's not the city.

But we can make you lose the parking space.

So take the picture and send it to us.

Let me see.

Ashley.

Mayor, this is another issue.

I've tried to apply for handicap parking.

I have a sister who is disabled and we can't get it approved.

Ashley, there's a uh cap on how many you can get.

So if uh if a block is only allowed to have two and you apply for more than two, they can deny you.

And tema de los estacionamientos decapacitados or personas decapacitado, hay un limite.

So in una cuadra oro, si la map permit in dos itenos, no te dan el otro.

Pero si tú pide para el otro bloque, or la vuelta la masana, te lo pueden dar la I.

So cheque otra vez, uh, B y cuando te lo negaron, regresan here y preguntale, hay otro sitio cercano donde me lo pueden dar.

If you can't get one right there, uh you can ask, is there a near spot or one in proximity to my home around the corner on the other block, and they could check if one is available there.

Okay, guys, um, yes, we'll check Gregory Avenue.

Ashley, this is something that is important for my family since it's regarding my disabled sister.

She suffers from mux girl dystrophy, and unfortunately, as time passes by, her muscles continue to deteriorate.

Ashley, yes.

Um, again, check around the block.

You can go to engineering and you can ask them is there a spot in proximity to where I live where you could consider giving me another spot and they can check that out.

All right, Teddy mentioned that the scooters don't have license plates.

We are following up on license uh plates and those motorized vehicles that don't have license plates and bicycles and those toy vehicles because they're not required.

We've been pushing for legislation and law to update.

So thank you, Teddy, for uh sharing that.

All right.

I think we've answered just about every question.

And I'm gonna go through some more questions later on, but I want to thank all of you for participating.

I want to um obviously tell you that I'm sorry for some of the technical difficulties that we have faced.

They have been a bit of a challenge, but I try to get to look, we have 304 comments.

Um Ashley, you can meet with me anytime you want.

This is the best way to reach me.

You got it?

Pay attention, everybody.

I give it out always.

Last 15 years I've been giving it out public.

973 986-8269.

That's my cell phone.

I've never hit it.

Everyone's always had it.

My public number, 973-986-8269.

I've only ever had one number for 15 years, I've given it to you.

If um, if you can't reach me when you call, just send me a text.

Sometimes I'm in a meeting, sometimes I'm at an event, sometimes I'm with my family.

Not enough.

I've realized that.

In the next upcoming years, I'll be spending more time with my family.

My kids are getting older and I'm losing time with them that I'm never recovering.

But I'll try to reach out to every single one of you and respond.

How to share that a little bit because I've been thinking about that a lot.

At the end of it all, what really matters is the time you spend with those who love you.

I love serving the city.

I love responding to all of you.

But life is short.

You got to make it count.

So if I don't answer, send me a text, I'll get back to you eventually.

But in City Hall, uh, Tuesdays and Thursdays are always the easiest day to catch me in the office.

Other than that, I'll try to be in the community.

But if you text me or you show up and say, hey, I want to see the mayor and leave your information, I'll come back to you.

Okay?

Uh 973, Nuevo Chenti6, 82, 69.

Myra, 973-986-8269.

826.

I've had the same number for 15 years.

Some of you have called at three in the morning.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Have one person call at three in the morning just to talk.

I said, listen, man.

That is not an emergency.

They wanted to talk about their favorite show and the difficulty they're going through.

I don't mind conversing, but I gotta get some sleep.

To be fair, I did just get off of fire, so they thought I was still awake.

All right, you got my number at the end of me telephono, you can call.

Handicaps need to stop reserving parking for other people.

Ellie, it's called the use it or lose it law.

If you don't use it with your handicap space, you will lose it.

Send us the information.

All right, Ashley, that is my number right there, Ashley.

You can call it.

You wrote it out, but call it for something important.

Or call it because you're inviting me to eat because I get hungry.

And then I'm out and if you if you cook a good soup or something, or a hamburger.

I'm a state guy.

Make a good rebye.

I'll come by.

We'll bring the deputy chief.

All right, Kenny Kalano.

Great job, Mayor and Deputy Chief Gentile.

Continue enforcing the laws of the city of Persake.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Kalano.

We hopefully answer your question.

We try to stay on topic.

Parking, parking spaces.

Those of you came in late in the very beginning.

We did a presentation of some of the parking, not even all of the parking.

We didn't talk to you about Broadway.

There's other spaces we didn't get to.

Dundee Island is a whole lot.

We'll we'll share those in the future.

But there's hundreds, almost a thousand new parking spaces, which isn't a panacea.

So all the problems we have, but it's pretty good.

It's pretty good.

All right.

Seeing if I miss anything.

Um Berlin, Alcalde di Culpa, but me asistencia, pero es importante.

Oye que usted está hablando de tema, por eso le escribió, pero no le no le misquejas.

Berlin, yo no vi to look at me escribita.

Mandamelo por messenger.

Yo te lo voy a leer.

Send it to me to Messenger.

Guys, sometimes all the questions don't pop up, and then I see it after the live.

So I'll try to go through some that I missed.

Let me see.

All right.

Guys, thank you very much.

645.

We started at five.

That's an hour and 45 minutes.

We're gonna cut this short.

We'll come back to you again live, maybe in the community, maybe in the car, maybe from here.

It depends on what the next question is.

Heraldo, gracia por hacer la pregunta, decimos esto.

No solamente Geraldo, pero todos.

Vamos a ver cuándo va a ser el próximo tema.

All right, thank you, Geraldo, for uh asking the question.

Your car is the wine-color car.

I'm clear on it now.

I know you couldn't turn.

I'll find out why the white car didn't get a ticket.

Deputy Chiefs did say you may have not seen the ticket, and maybe they got a ticket in the mail.

Sometimes one uh patrol officer will go by and the LPR will read it, or they'll look at it and they'll send the ticket in the mail, and then the next person who comes already knows they're getting it in the mail, so they don't give it on the car.

A veces, Geraldo.

Jalium Amulta que viene por el correo.

Kisabino otra policía temprano y le dio uno.

Ifiene por el correo, o le puso uno y lo quitaron, vamos a checkar si no le dieron.

Porque solamente la multa, no quiso que no se lo dieron.

Ki sale dieron una multa anterior, no le quieren dar dos tres por la misma cosa.

And mayor, some people are even so brazen that they'll take the ticket off and still leave their car there.

Lily, Lily said some tickets come one year later and that's ridiculous.

Lily, I'm not gonna argue with you.

If you got a ticket a year after the infraction, that is ridiculous.

I'm with you.

If you got it, if you did something in 2025, like January 2025, and you get the ticket in December of 2025 or February of 2026, that is ridiculous.

If you have evidence of that, somebody wrote you a ticket in one year, but you got it the next year.

Now don't come with a ticket.

Talking about they wrote it in December 31st, and I got it January 2nd.

Don't play.

But if you got the ticket a year later, like 10 months later, bring it here.

I will go with you to fight that ticket to say it's ridiculous.

I'm with you.

If if you got a ticket a year later, that is ridiculous.

I'm with you.

All right, Ellie.

People who don't have New Jersey plates should get tickets because what Ellie, I just drove to North Carolina.

Sometimes people come out of state to visit family.

You can't give tickets to people because they came from out of state.

Sometimes you're traveling.

I once drove to Florida.

Technically, I slept on the passenger side and my friend drove.

He still talks about that.

Because he's I said I could drive.

I didn't know it was a stick shift.

So it was 17 hours.

He was he was mad at me for 17 hours.

That was a tense ride.

I said, listen, I'm I'm here to be your wingman.

But he thought we could split the ride.

I digress.

You you get it.

Sometimes people come from other communities.

Somebody might come from New York, Pennsylvania, they're visiting.

We can't just give you a ticket because you're from out of state.

We're one nation.

We respect all these imaginary lines that we create, but you you can come here if you're from another state.

It's not illegal.

We'll be real with you.

Okay.

Oh, Ellie, but they live here.

Some people live here but work in another state.

Some people have done that.

Now I don't know.

It's a gray area.

If you're driving a company vehicle from New York, you might be bringing it home here in New Jersey.

If you're getting better insurance in Pennsylvania, I don't know if that's valid.

Some people are known to do that.

I'll let the cops know.

Excuse me.

I have a neighbor who has multiple cars with different state plates.

Ellie, send me the information on the street.

We'll check it out.

Your neighbor might be watching Facebook, might be like, come on, Ellie.

Can we talk about this, Ellie?

But hey, we'll we'll respond.

All right.

If they don't live here, we'll we'll address it.

Lily Topia.

Ellie Rivera Passake is flooded with out of state.

Lily, I don't know if it's flooded.

Lily, I don't know if it's flooded.

Sometimes we we kind of, again, we use hyperbole.

We'll say everybody's from out of state.

Not everybody.

A lot of people, maybe.

Some maybe not flooded.

I haven't seen it everywhere.

I could weigh in a little bit.

Go ahead, Chief.

Just just to kind of touch on that.

So if there's an out of state plate that a PEO writes a summons for, we have another step that we have to take to issue that summons because it's out of state.

The court can't run the out of state.

It has to be done at the front desk.

To make a long story short, on a weekly basis, we are very far south of about 50 a week.

If that if that gives some clarity.

How about the people from the bars?

Flora May Reyes, you gotta be specific.

I don't know.

Are we upset they're not inviting us?

I'm not sure what you're asking.

No, I know what you mean.

Um they park, they go to the bar.

I can tell you this.

Don't drink and drive.

Don't drink alcohol and drive.

You can drink like soda and juice and water.

You'll be thirsty when you're driving.

But don't drink alcohol and drive.

If you have a designated driver, that's okay.

Get a designated driver.

Pick one person, and then everybody else can have a good time.

But you shouldn't drink and drive.

Try not to drink a lot.

That's not healthy for you.

Outside of that, yes, the bars get full because it's a business.

And again, I mentioned that we have a balance.

We don't want to be so rigid that the businesses fail.

We don't want to be so permissive that the burden on the community is overwhelming.

We try to balance it out.

Cristina, buenos tardes, señor Alcalde.

Cristina, yo lo habla varios, appenme, respaldeme.

You take apoyo.

But necessitarian for cambios transformatives.

Ustedes quieren cambio grande, and elecciones.

Dame el apoyo.

Grandemente, yo le prometo que yo voy a traer el cambio que ustedes quieren in this area.

But since you dig, mira, and we sell one number pequeñito.

Sangan abotar.

I've said it so many times.

You guys want big change?

Those are wars.

Nobody goes to war without an army.

You need to show up.

Come out big time for elections.

30,000 registered voters in the city of Passake.

You want big change?

Show big support.

Come out and be united.

If we're not divided, we can get big things done.

Nothing can be so big that it would stop us if we came out united.

I don't know if I expressed that appropriately.

There's nothing bigger than the unity of the community.

Come out strong together and we can get things done.

Alright.

Are commercial cars allowed to use street parking?

Ashley, yes, but not overnight.

Can you paint lines for parking spots?

Jennifer, I did it on Myrtle Avenue, Hudson, Lexington, Broadway, different areas.

We're gonna try to get the rest of the city, but during the winter, you usually don't paint because the weather conditions aren't conducive.

We'll start it up in the spring again.

Yes, that's my initiative.

And over the next few years, I'm gonna keep painting parking lines.

I've already started it.

I've heard the community.

I checked it out, I've been doing it.

We haven't gotten to all the streets, but in the winter you tend not to park.

I mean you tend not to paint because it's not conducive.

It rains, it snows, it's very cold.

It's better to do it in the springtime.

So yes.

Okay, Aurelia, yes, Aurelia, mira, si tienes seguro de otro stado, como estable mencionando.

No queremos decir que uno tiene el derecho de hacer fraude.

No importa que placa si está stationado bien, no va a haber ni mucho problemas.

No, tenga placa de otro stado mal.

Calvin Johnson had a question earlier saying you should create like shuttle bus almost.

Like almost saying it doesn't matter.

Yeah, but I said I'm gonna stay focused on just this topic, but we have shuttle buses.

We already created them.

Thank you, Calvin Johnson.

But we already did free.

And I'm looking to expand it for weekends and uh late night.

All right.

Let me see.

Theodore, I'll go by 7th Street tonight when I'm leaving.

Downtown is flooded with people that go to bars and no parking on 4th Street.

Great for the bar, but we'll address it.

If they're parking legally, look, it's tough.

We want our businesses to do well.

I've addressed it.

I can't, I can't be so restrictive that a business fails.

If you want me to shut down the bar, they have to be in violation of something.

What about those neighbors that say parking people in my street, don't move their cars until their friends come to take their spots.

Um, Janice, it's illegal to try to save a spot for someone else.

Look, we try to coordinate in neighborhoods and be considerate of our neighbors.

If you keep parking in front of somebody else's house when you have a driveway and you're parking, that's rude, but not illegal.

It's not, it's not appropriate neighbor etiquette, it's not illegal.

But you should be considerate.

Unfortunately, people aren't always considering in an ideal world, people get it.

We don't live in an ideal world.

However, if there's ever any real issues, like someone abandoned their car or leaves it for 48 hours to save a space, call the police and we'll tell them and they'll get the message.

Ario, Pasake Street is all apartment and business and more apartment coming.

It's a night down there.

Ario, it wouldn't be a Mayor Laura live without at least one job from you.

I got it.

We're trying to create apartment.

People want apartments.

Ario, we have 600 kids graduating a year from high school.

People want apartments.

If I didn't provide apartments, people would be yelling, why aren't there more apartments?

But I got it.

We've been slowing it down.

I've been slowing the development down, Ario.

I've been slowing it down.

Right?

We wanted to raise the housing stock, residential between, but I've been slowing it down.

But back to parking.

We're gonna conclude on parking.

Um, Ashley, because that's an issue here on Third Street.

Um, and the commercial vehicle is used to reserve parking for the individuals' personal vehicles.

I have noticed that this commercial vehicle uses street parking every day.

Ashley, if the commercial vehicle stays overnight, send us a message, call the police, not the emergency, but the general 973-365-390.

If it's overnight, they can get a ticket.

Um, Jignesh Rana, thank you for watching.

Let me see if there's any.

Can the residential parking stickers be smaller?

Yeah, I'll look into that.

That's not a big deal.

You mean the ones we already have?

I was able to get some residential parking because I've gotten some support.

Come out a lot.

We get a lot more residential parking.

Just saying.

Uh Teodora, por favor, hagalo lo de la línea in la Avenida 678, porque la gente se parquean a la mitad para Patapakeo.

Theodora, anda Primavera, vamos estudiar si podemos pintar mal downtown.

There is no parking anywhere.

Moyo.

No, I'm not frozen, Moyo.

We didn't freeze.

Moyo.

Nowhere.

Nobody, if I go outside, it's just no car.

Not a single car is parked anywhere in Pasik.

Not one park in Moyo.

Moyo.

Moyo.

Put it out.

Yes, we have parking issues.

It's an urban city, which is a bit redundant.

It's urban, it's a city.

It's a city.

Um, we have a lot of vehicles.

Yes.

I got it.

But there's some parking.

And we're adding some parking.

Go to the beginning of this long, long presentation.

All right, Moyo.

That was entertaining.

Let me see.

Moyo, back to you.

But these trucks take most of the street.

There should be something done.

If they're parked overnight, we can give them tickets, call us in, Moyo.

Moyo, I like you.

I like saying your name.

Thank you, Moyo.

All right, that's it.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the mayor of the city of Pasake, Hector Carlos Laura.

This has been an interesting live.

I try to stay on topic.

Parking and tickets.

We may have detoured just a little bit, but we made it back.

And the chief try to usurp, take control of the live, throw out a controversial question so that people can say, because yeah, I want to make more money, so you can add some money to your pocket so you can raise taxes.

I don't know why he asked that question.

Thank you.

Thank you guys for not answering that question.

Listen, you gotta be careful who you invite live.

You might need to next week, it might be Deputy Chief Gentile going live from his own page.

Let me cause an issue to meet this year.

Deputy Chief.

Pero thank you, Deputy Chief, for being with us.

Thank you for answering all the questions.

Thank you, sir.

And uh thank you for all the patrol enforcement officers.

I let them know.

How many patrol enforcement officers do we have overnight?

A bunch of them, but on a regular night it's about two or night.

Yeah, CEOs, we have two.

And if I could, you know, thank you to some of the captains, like Captain Burnett, Captain.

Thank you.

Captain Burnett, Captain Castellan for uh, you know, making enforcement and making sure that it's relative to the safety of the residents and being fair and reasonable about it all.

All right, this last comment.

Roger, see.

Unidos, the number is a guerrilla.

But you receive the approval for executively.

But not a guy since it was a lay the permissible parqueo, I'm milles and milles that are don't.

Some 30 miles registered a voter.

Salling a botal para que yo vean los numeros and okay, este pueblo when you get algo, lo tenemos que hacer.

But if you don't sale, the mami gritando, peleando.

Mira, yo lo grado mucho por la gracia de Dios.

Muchas palabras.

But I'm gonna in su casa and they can appoint responding.

Mira, si tu eres part of my equipo, so it is part of the team, Laura.

Salgan conmigo.

Guys, I'll say it again.

You want big things, nobody goes to war without an army.

And some of these initiatives are war.

Now you've seen what I've been able to accomplish by God's grace.

I give glory to God.

I thank him for his favor and for your support.

Some of you have come out to support.

But you want me to keep fighting for big things?

You're on my team, you're on team Laura.

Come out and vote.

Vote with me and vote for the teams that I support so I can get bigger things done.

But come out in big numbers.

So when I look and I point to you and say, look, you see that army?

They came out, that huge group.

This is what they want.

And I'm stronger to fight for stuff.

If not, it's gradual.

Listen again, we've done a lot together.

I thank God for what he's allowed us to do up to this point.

But there's so much more.

So much has been done.

So much more that can come if you come out.

Alright, with that said, thank you.

Gracias.

And uh until next time.

Be safe and God bless.

All right.

I put it, I put it in uh fresh one before we started.

Uh usually they hold uh two to three hours, but I guess it uh get it full charge.

Yeah, all right.

Well, at least it reconnected, it's just really hard.

Yeah, live doesn't die.

It's just uh it's the connection.
