4. The Amboy Guardian *June 1, 2022LOCAL PERSPECTIVEEDITORIALNo, They are Not DisposableLet’s face it, men and women were put on this earth, andthey are both built differently toproduce life – bottom line! Wealways think of women whenit comes to the primary care ofa child even in marriage. Butthere are many instances wherewomen are the breadwinner,and it makes more sense financially for the woman to go towork and the man to stay homeand take care of the children.When I watch YouTube videos, some of the most movingones are between fathers andtheir children. There was oneparticular one when a man wasmarrying a woman who had adaughter from a previous relationship. Before reciting thewedding vows to his intendedwife, he bent down to the littlegirl, and took her hand andpromised to always be by herside to protect, support, andtake care of her always. As hewas reciting those words, shestarted to cry and at the endgave him a huge hug around hisneck.I am not ashamed to admit thatI get very emotional and tear upfrom that man pledging the devotion to his new stepdaughter.You don’t have to be a biological father to raise a child. I alsoremember one time watchingSteve Harvey who has a showand showcases young children.He was interviewing a little girland Steve Harvey pointed to aman in the audience, “Is thatyour father?” She looked athim and sternly corrected him,“NO! THAT’S MY DAD!”As I stated in a previous edi-torial, when I was growing up,every boy had a father (figuratively and literally). Whenever an older man wanted togive advice to a younger man,he would always start with thephrase, “Now, listen son,” before he would dispense wordsof wisdom. I remember a fewyears ago, when I was eatingin a fast-food place on SmithStreet, and there were four highschool students sitting at another table and one was giving outadvice to another one, and onesaid to his peer, “Now, listenson.” And I just smiled from earto ear because it brought backmemories when I would hearolder men address young menthat way.When I see men taking careof young children, it remindsme of my dad. He showed kindness to all, which made him soendearing. We were blessed thathe lived to the age of 95, and hewas joyful to the end.It was so heartbreaking to seeall those families shattered inTexas and those precious angelswere taken from their families.One particular father stood out.He talked about his stepdaughter who was so precious to him,and he always promised to takecare of her, but he couldn’t. Itwas just so heartbreaking as hetalked in tears. As anyone whohas lost a child, you know whatthey always say: “This is notright. A child should never diebefore me.”So, to all these men who arefather figures, I salute you. Youare heroes. C.M.Published by Amboy Guardian LLCP. O.

Torres againexplained why he voted for removal. “It was based upon thetestimony.”King continued, “The cleaning of the scene and the shooting plus other infractions canalso be the basis of revocation.’Council President Bill Petrick asked if would have to bebased on each individual charge(lodged against this establishment).King explained there werenoises and fighting, which hadseveral charges on those itemsalone. “Besides the shooting,there is a 6-page document onwhat this bar did wrong, whichhappened on single or severaldays.”Petrick then began readingseveral of the charges which included acts of violence, etc.King spoke again, “There areadditional notes on each specific charge that you will have tovote on each individually.”Petrick continued, “Some ofthe multiple charges includedthe use of weapons, loud music, fights, and any violationsimposed on El Patio, which alsoincluded fire violations. Employee lists were not available.They also supplied false information. The trade name theyused was incorrect and they didnot obtain the current licensefor 2021 thru 2022 which theymust get through the city.”King said, “When the El Patiocase was in court, they pled notguilty.”Petrick asked if the councilcan act on Resolution R-2385/22 Authorizing the suspension/revocation of Plenary Retail Consumption License No.1216-33-068-009 held in thename of Royal N Inc., t/a TheCourt House Inn, d/b/a El PatioBar at 417 Fayette Street effective TBD.King responded, “Yes.

Petrick told Balut,“Please use the microphone, because people said there is a conspiracy that we are cutting youoff on purpose.”Balut said (closer the mike),“That bar has been a terrorto that neighborhood, and ithas been protected, and whyso long? The same thing happened to a bar on Keene Street(where there was also a lot ofproblems), and that bar wasprotected.” Balut then statedthat is why the State Police hadseparate charges on this bar (ElPatio). “It’s about time.”Petrick then asked, “Is revocation immediate?”King responded, “ Only immediately after it has been published in an approved newspaper.”The meeting adjourned at 6:38p.m.City Budget and Funds Dissected5/23/22 CaucusBy: Carolyn MaxwellPERTH AMBOY - Council President Bill Petrick announced that the council willbe taking a 5-minute break before starting the regular caucusmeeting due to the length of theSpecial Public Meeting for theEl Patio Bar.The regular caucus meetingslated to start at 5:30 p.m.Petrick spoke first, “RegardingOrdinance No. 1 – Granting renewal of Municipal Consent toComcast to construct, connect,operate, and maintain a cabletelevision and communicationssystem in the city of Perth Amboy.Petrick said, “We are still having problems with the ComcastSystem, and I am asking themto address this problem.”Councilwoman Milady Tejeda asked, “Who does the Boardof Education Meetings?”Petrick answered, “Comcast.”Tejeda said, “The Board ofEducation has no problemswith their audio.”Council President Petrickmentioned that he was happythat the city was authorizinga donation of a small antiquetable to the Proprietary HouseRoyal Governor’s Mansion. “Itwas in our lobby and currentlyin our basement. Now we havethis big desk which is at inside the foyer of the entranceon Market Street which is notneeded.”Petrick then mentionedR-243-5/22 – In opposition toconstruction of the CPV Keasbey Powerplant in Woodbridge,New Jersey. “We haven’t heardfrom this company, yet.”Councilman Torres spokenext, “On Saturday the air quality was not very good. I hopewe oppose this plant coming inwhich will negatively impactour community.”Petrick continued, “All ofthese warehouses are not good.We have a lot of differentBoards who are not addressing the additional fumes withtrucks coming in that are impacting our children and seniorcitizens.”Torres then stated, “We needto know how these idling trucksare impacting our city.”Also mentioned at the caucusthat there will be three additional ordinances added to the5/25/22 regular meeting. Oneordinance had to do with affordable housing units. Petrickasked, “Will some of those newunits be set aside for affordableunits?”Law Director William Opelresponded, “Yes, through deedrestrictions.”Councilwoman Milady Tejedaasked, “What about the ordinance that was on our last meeting? We were adding additionalpolice officers.”Councilman Joel Pabon remembered, “This ordinancewas going to add another captain, ten officers or a DeputyPolice Chief.”Tejeda continued, “This ordinance will give the police department flexibility.”Torres added, “This is thesame resolution that we tabledin the past. The GovernmentStrategy Group stated we needto increase our Auxiliary Police.”Business Administrator Michael Green said, “The StrategyGroup said we need to increaseour quality of life. This givesthe flexibility for our leadershipto decide this. We can also takeadvantage of the grants from thestate and federal government.”Torres was concerned, “Thisgrant is limited to the time it hasto be used and the amount ofmoney. Strategy Group told uswe also have inflated pensionsand benefits.”Tejeda then asked, “Is therea law where you have to havea certain amount of police officers depending on the type ofcommunity (suburban versusurban).”Acting Police Chief LarryCattano came up to speak,“There are recommendationsonly and we fall short of therecommendations. All of ourpolice officers are also commu-nity trained. There is a grant toincrease our community policeofficers.”Councilman Pabon spoke up,“I support having ten more officers. The problem is the numberthat are leaving. If we alwayshave the ten additional on thelist, it will help alleviate thatproblem. I just want to see morepolice presence on the streets.”Cattano continued, “Increasing the number of police willhelp us. In some cases, it will bebasically changing the title ofan existing officer and not adding a captain and this move willgive us more flexibility.”Council President Petrick said,“We should strike the languageof Deputy Chief if the body decides to do that.” He then askedLaw Director Opel, “Can wediscuss the amendment to thebudget (R-240)?”Petrick then went through alarge list of changes he thoughtshould be made in the budget.He started with the mayor’s office which included vehicles,association fees, etc. He questioned, “Why are there two vehicles under the mayor’s budget?”Green explained, “The taxassessor uses a city vehicle forcity business only.”Petrick said, “When monies are expended, it is put backinto the general fund. Some ofthe money going back into thefund that were not used included such items as media and contractual services.”Tejeda spoke up, “Remember, we can’t name a particularperson whose salary you can increase or decrease.”Petrick continued, “In discussions with the city clerk, I knowthey needed another person. Weare defunding positions wherethere isn’t a need for them, andwe have the maximum numberof directors.”B.A. Green spoke up, “TheOECD (Office of Economic andCommunity Development) getsmost of their funds from grants.There are hardly any municipalexpenditures in their budget.”Petrick said, “The HPC (Historic Preservation Commission)needs additional funding to hireprofessionals and to preservethe city’s history and landmarks. Former mayors havefailed to provide these funds. Inthe Uniform Code Department,if all their money isn’t spent,they keep it in their bank, andit is not going into the generalfund. Encourage them not touse all the money, now.”Green responded, “Scott Melski from the Uniform Code Department said the money theyare using is needed to do the jobright now.”Petrick then asked for a listof projects that are almost completed.Green said, “We are alwaystrying to get remediation grants(when needed).”Petrick then asked, “Whatabout this Dream Plan which isnot realistic?”Green explained, “It is a concept plan using different vendors and architects that wouldpresent proposals using theirown money.”Petrick then said, “I saw theyare getting rid of the K-9 unitsince they can only detect marijuana which is now legal.” Hethen said, “There are two Directors listed in the Water/Wastewater Department and we onlyneed one.” He also wanted tomake sure about the number ofvotes needed to make changesto the budget. Is it 3 votes needed to do reductions and 4 votesneeded to increase?”Law Director Opel answered,“Yes.”Green then talked aboutR-246-5/22 – Authorizing thecity to participate in the NorthJersey Wastewater CooperativePricing System.“There is no cost or obligation.”Petrick made a comment,“When I changed my water filter, it was pitch black, whichwas a first for me.”He then questioned R-2485/22 – A contract with Z Brothers for road rehabilitation andimprovements on High Streetfrom Fayette Street to Buckingham Avenue and SadowskiParkway in an amount not toexceed 456,293.41.“I just want to make sure thatthis money is not being wasted.”Green then talked aboutR-249-5/22 – Agreement between the city of Perth AmboyBoard of Education for the Stateof New Jersey 2022 SummerFood Service Program (breakfast and lunch) in the amountnot to exceed 348,345.36.“Kenny Ortiz is still in chargeof this and there are differentpickup sites.”Green
