Board of Commissioners meeting tonight, Monday, September 14th at 6 45 p.m. Everyone would stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I'd like to give notice that we had an executive session meetings September 1st and also prior to this meeting for legal, real estate, and personnel matters. We're going to start off with public participation. So anyone from the public can come up for five minutes and speak. Just tell us your name and your street address. Good evening, Commissioners. Chris Todd, 108 Northway Avenue, Christopher's Restaurant. Uh WBOD. Might as well start this off right now. All right. Hey, uh, so I'm referring to the park that the WBA just found out about the Friday before Labor Day. Not one single P. We heard it through rumors. Not one P from a commissioner or anybody in the township. All right. Uh we found out 10 days ago about something that's going to impact the business impact the most the businesses in the WBOD. All right. Um why is this happening right now? Why is this on the agenda? I don't understand. I'm part of the uh the TAC, the technical advisory committee for the vision of Wayne. Uh, there's a lot of great information and a lot of pertinent information to this subject, okay. That the public does not know about yet because it has not been adopted. It seems a little shotgun start to just do uh you know, start this program to vote on this today. All right. I mean, you pay 200,000 dollars for this vision and you're already jumped starting before it's published to the public. Makes no sense to me. I've never seen you work like this before. It's very confusing and uh honestly very aggravating and insulting. All right. We haven't even I can't, I guess I can't say it, but what I you know thank you for meeting with us last Tuesday, um, Maggie and Catherine. We got a little insight to what you're proposing, but I gotta tell you the pictures that are out there don't match up with what's on you know on the agenda today. Okay. The temporary park does not look like what's the finished product. There's no asphalt, there's no AI uh generated photo of asphalt, um, curbing, sod, and lights over the existing blacktop that's there now. Okay, so that's something that people should know about. I mean, restaurants, MMs, they get sued for that kind of stuff, false advertising. They should see what you're gonna put up for temporary a temporary structure for up to maybe two years. Because I know you have 155,000 set aside for this, but we all know that's not enough for the finished product of what you're visioning. Okay. And lastly, you know what, those are my biggest points. I don't know why you're jump starting. The vision of Wayne, like I said, it's the best comprehensive plan I've seen done. I've seen three of them. There's a lot of information in there, and people don't know the full effect that some of these projects have. I'm not saying it's it's great or it's bad. Okay, there's a lot of great information in there. That's all. Thank you.
