Thank you for your comments. Thank you next speaker Seeing none public speaking is here. It is now closed Anything from the council anything from the administration? See is an ordinance amending and supplementing vendor license for the sale of food and merchandise at public festivals To establish a seasonal festival endorsement for mobile vendors. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this ordinance? We're not collecting the revenues from all of these events from the permits department Let's talk about the 24 hours of foolishness with all the vendors out there Using new X emblem selling t-shirts and all the light But yet no revenues are coming into this city from them vendors You had the Latin festival with friends and family with vendors selling alcohol We don't have no accountability on our budget. We're all that Revenues came from they don't come back to the city for the permits It's all friends and family which is why I'm a continue to say the city is broke and bankrupt at the end of the day if you aren't holding them accountable if you allowing them to present a budget with Reliability for the dollars that are supposed to be collected by this city Including the parking authority is Parker the permits to the ordinance. I'm speaking to it and stop interrupting me permits that are given to the vendors are not Back to the city. I'm speaking to the ordinance the revenues that from these permits that are given to The vendors the monies are not coming back to the city Before you put this in place change anything to suit the vendors. So you still are robbing the city There should be an oversight for it now. What do you ask the question? Where are the revenues from the the permits that was already issued? We not getting accountability from code enforcement permits we're not getting the revenues That's the reality and those are the facts at the end of the day You're supposed to be the stewards over our budget the spending and approvals for everything and you're not doing your job Pay attention Ramos pay attention Kelly and that's the level of disrespect That we get when we come here to a true have our concerns addressed There's not even being questioned. How dare you? That is to work for and advocate for the people and stop being criminals Thank you for your comments next speaker. Good afternoon Council president she was speaking to the audience. I know who you are. Thank you She was speaking to the ordinance. This has been going on for quite too long Even when it comes to the little icy vendors, they were like one person Who controlled all these women who were out there? with their icy trucks parked up and pulled up in front of the schools and One guy controlled all of them and he paid one permit so there is a problem you guys are not collecting dudes I want to know sister Parker who gets paid for Arena, you know, I mean not the arena the performing arts center who gets paid for that Do we collect revenue for that when all those trucks are out there? When they have that whole front area all littered with all kinds of vendors and stuff We get revenue from that you guys are not doing your oversight job You're worse than the Republican Party in DC Whatever they want to do around the corner is okay with you Whatever they want to do is fine and stop attacking people at the mic. You guys should look at Edison Your mother would have had a stroke the f words that were flowing at members Not one person was thrown out Edison council meeting not one person was was grabbed by police Because they understand what freedom of speech means Thank you for your comments next speaker Deborah Salter, so can we get an explanation of what this is an ordinance amending and supplementing? You know because yesterday mr. Crump you were talking about Amendments and you know to amendments and things like that So can we get an explanation because we're talking about it and it would help if someone comes up and explains this Ordinance amending a supplementing title 9 businesses occupational chapter 25 then the blah blah blah blah And we know that we have had some arrests dealing with people getting shakedowns and all of that when it comes to We need some clarity and some transparency here because this is very vague and very word salad ish Right it's just an amendment to the amendment like we talked about until the ordinance and that Explain what this is and why is it here? What is the urgency and just to let you know that sister that was up here? expressing yourself to you had a breakdown in the hallway because she's not used to Just total ignorance of what she had to say about her living situation So you all are causing distress to people that we tell you all the time, but you don't care in real life in real time Breakdown because you don't care enough about how she's living we have tough skin But the rest of the people that we fight for that we call agent provocateurs for these are the people that we stand up for Who are ready to jump off a bridge because y'all don't care you live. Well your families live People come here breaking down because they're dying in their homes But they don't have a home and you sit there looking at them like they got four heads. She had a breakdown You're driving people to commit suicide because I don't care and if not for people like us who grab and hug them and tell Them that we whipped them. They just give up people out here. You are fired in 26. You're fired You are killing my people in this city and you sit there. Yes. Yes. Yes People telling you the woman heart trouble Got to sit on disgusting steps. You allow these people to come here make excuses Don't live like this. You don't live like this walk the street to hear the people talk to you

Thank you for your comments next speaker. See none public speaking is not closes or anything from the council. I Will say two things one. I wish miss Davis was still here Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you. I you know two things number one I did ask my chief of staff to get your phone number and I but he's standing behind sitting behind you So I know it's not a callback. It's not a go back and forth I just wanted it's not see miss Davis Davis. It's not I'm trying saying I met with the owner of Pilgrim Village a few weeks ago and I wanted to see I wanted to talk to miss Davis to see if anything that they said they were gonna do is done D is an ordinance to extinguish the right of reverter in Authorizing the execution of a settlement agreement between the City of Newark and 613 South 18 LLC Sponsored by Councilman council second by Councilman Kelly. Is there anyone wishing to speak on this ordinance? This is same property that they got next to the lot From invest Newark and then built a two-family house on and you had to settle is that what this is here? But they got the property for dirt cheap and then built a two-family house on it. Is that what this is? They flipped the property for almost a million dollars Is that what this is and a settlement for the city with some like six thousand dollars after they got over a million dollars Is that what this is is anybody here to answer the question? What is the Roberta for for the settlement? What is the settlement? Y'all been doing this all too long, but I'm tracking I'm Tracking everything who owns the property What is this? What is the settlement for? Get the property for dirt tree flip it then when y'all decide Oh, they flipped it and we didn't get out cut Now you want to come back and sue them for a settlement. There's still a fraction of Can someone explain it at least the people that's sponsoring this But I do understand that most of you don't read this stuff Your aids don't research nothing and you just come along and whatever the dude on the second floor Can anyone explain what this Roberta is and what the settlement is for? Shouldn't Alison lad be doing that but y'all made her the person over hard. She ain't even hard She should answer this question or somebody from Corporation council, but like everything else y'all don't have no answers Irresponsible how dare you each and every one of you? How dare you? I'ma keep advocating for the people out there that don't have a voice to question Because it's my right to do it my constitutional right and my civil rights I'm never gonna forget that because people fought long and hard and died for us to have these rights That y'all have bastardized in this entire building and in this chambers Thank you for your comments next speaker Ever salt is this 6s FD D isn't David. Okay, so, you know, I watched you know Cuz I have you know watch parties for this sometimes so this ordinance I saw Alison lad get up here and do a very So we sold the adjacent lot to one owner That owner sold it to another owner the other owner sold it to another owner who is now trying to sell it to a home Now when we stood up here and I believe a lot of times Ramos had asked questions. Well, who is this person? Why are we giving them the adjacent life? Somebody would say oh what they have the business next to it Also, no matter what's asked and forget round she trying to ask a question Y'all just straight cut her off and disrespect her on a regular, right? I'll don't make me play the tape. I'll play it. So That being said so there was no oversight. So now we're coming here for this Ordinance so that this will not delay the homeowner buying the property I understand that and I respect that however, there was no oversight So now where did this oversight all of a sudden come from? Because now the party that owns it is trying to sell it to a homeowner When did this compliance process go into effect? When did it go into effect right and why is it important now? Because we don't see any documentation about who the owners were and the transactions and all of that stuff But yeah, so when did that go into effect? And then it said in order for this to happen the original owner would have had to follow all of the rules For this compliance thing that's now in place Because the first owner sold it to the second owner sold it to the third owner Who's now trying to sell it to a homeowner who was probably trying to buy it in the first place and was told no We asked for lots next to where we live. I did that to the lot next to my mother been there patriarch You know matriarch of the city blah blah blah Nothing ever happened, but you gave it to somebody else in this case again three Allison lad wants them to pay the six thousand dollars Which was the original price back to the city and then have the city go after the original owner for the rest of the money This is just a whole bunch of spaghetti all over the place Because there was no oversight, but now there's a compliance issue here a compliance thing that you put in place again When was that put in place? Why is it important now? Why wasn't this done back then but every time we said it all these agent provocateurs? They just like to make noise. They don't know what they're talking about and here we are Thank you for your comments next speaker Ali from how many these girls ladies. I mean clean girls ladies are good Allison is a professional, but she makes the worst deals Why are we taking the short end of this city I hate to cut you off in it, right? I just can't hear can you speak a little louder? Oh, I was talking. I want to that's me. I was talking soft Okay. Thank you. I have a soft part of me Now if you're a business person and I am a business person been one for it since I was 17 in high school Why is the city taking the short end is they land so Whatever it should cost and then let her go or him go sue that person Then let that person go sue that person, but we're gonna go all the way back to the first person Right. Come on now. It's not it's not funny, but it just you know, when you say it like that. It's like Accounting you know, I mean the probably the first person that bought it probably bought it as a LL probably bought is the corporation so you can't sue them. Anyway But why are we taking the shorts when we can't make our budget? Well, we got to go bar money See in business, we would be playing hardball But Allison lad she just come up and say I'm gonna get it She's professional. She's good, but she don't have the she don't have any what they say skin in the game No skin in the game. She so she just do it. Okay, give us six thousand dollars And like I don't know what the deal is but say the deal hypothetically is worth six seven hundred thousand dollars more We get the six thousand dollars and we're gonna go back and sue the person from the person in the person in person It's bad deal and you know, it really is it's bad deal Because we need money guys. We can't make the budget right? Because what I'm saying is I'm just trying to come to common sense. Why is north always taking the shorts? But guess who take the shorts? It's the police It's not the person to make 400 000 or 300 000. It's the people Thank you for your comments next speaker Seeing no one else the public hearing is now closed
