   No doubt. Taylor hardware is a hole in the wall. It’s not at all a staple of our community. But Joe probably doesn’t mind the money he can make from the sale price. I guess the mayor doesn’t need to watch the parade from his shop since the brewery opened.

   We should definitely redevelop that whole block. If we can get some more apartments that would be great. More ratables to tax and offset that no increase. Who cares about parking, we’ll just require one space per unit. No problem.

   #2 More apartments = more kids in the school.
   Maybe apts for 55 and older. Take a look at your new tax bill. Schools cost to much.

   Taylor hardware is a very busy store that many Belmar residents use frequently. Leave it alone. And new apartments just add to parking chaos.
   “Redevelopment” isn’t going well here. Too many bars, a pavilion we can’t use and a huge ugly bar ruining the marina

    Besides misnaming the Avenues …. The proposed Redevelopment Resolution has this little gem towards the end …

    “The Mayor shall abstain from voting on this Resolution by reason of his or her “General Ineligibility” as provided by Belmar Ord. No. 9-5.”

    #11 …. after reading Belmar Code No. 9-5 …. we can only wonder how the mayor voted on the Kapalko Redevelopment Agreement last month?

    “9-5 General Ineligibility of Any Elected Official Who Receives any Pass-Through Campaign Contributions to Participate or Vote on Certain Categories of Matters.

    a. Any elected official who has received either as Belmar campaign contributions or other elected office campaign contributions during any of the three (3) preceding calendar years, including during years preceding his or her election, any pass-through campaign contributions shall be ineligible to participate in, or cast a vote on any of the following categories of matters for the remainder of that calendar year and for a period of three (3) additional calendar years following that calendar year:

    1. The award of any agreement to purchase goods or services, and shall be further barred from voting on the grant of change orders with respect to publicly bid contracts or agreements; with respect to each and every vote as to which the Mayor or member of the Council is ineligible by virtue of this provision, the reasons for the abstention shall be set forth on the record, recorded in the minutes, and noted on the resolution awarding the contract or agreement for the sale of goods and services;

    2. Any development matter, and any appointment to the Planning Board or Board of Adjustment of the Borough of Belmar;

    3. Any matter relating to or involving any Belmar alcoholic beverage licensee or any other alcoholic beverage licensee.

    (Ord. No. 2004-14 § 2; Ord. No. 2005-19 § III)

    #10: Looks like all of Belmar’s Resolutions should have this prohibition clearly stated for all to see and understand before voting. Matt “The Grandstand Man” deliberately duped the voters again and again and yet again!

    Nicolay may be in conflict also. Even though she may have paid her fine to the state, the borough ordinance calls for ineligibility to vote a specific matters for 3 years.

    Fire the attorney who attends the meetings. Seems he is asleep on the job or just another stooge. I would guess “stooge”.

    Jennifer should not have been allowed to vote despite several attorneys presence. Her votes should be rescinded.

    Considering the ineligibility of the mayor and possibly Nicolay to vote and Magovern’s absence, there may not be a quorum for voting on some things.
