You're right!  You get wisecracked at, made fun and light of, feel
foolish for speaking, because 1) You will be ignored and made to look
stupid and foolish and 2)  If you protest their behavior or lack of
interest, you get walked out!  So speak up all you posters who don't
attend or live here!  It's easy for you.  The residents get thrown in
jail or shut down by the FCC, if you DARE broadcast negative OPINIONS!
 Isn't it odd, that the one councilman vilified for speaking up and
not going along, is treated the SAME way?  He keeps us informed as to
what the agenda is, KNOWS he's beating a DEAD HORSE, so it's the
residents who DO speak up, that they sick the authorities on us!

I realize you mean well, but come on down and sit in and see if what
I've said isn't true!  I like the case for an internet forum, but like
a lead balloon!  We've been down this road before.  I'm as guilty
as anyone that doesn't attend.

H...  I think we all know what's coming, or rather going.


i've been thinking they need a permanant sidewalk by the stone pony 
for a while.

and chew on this: take a look at the new sidewalk going in by the 
sewage treatment plant on 7th avenue. its a PERMANENT matching 
sidewalk, consistant with the rest of the permanent sidewalks going 
in at the oceanfront... why? because the sewage plant is being 
finished, and thats whats going to stay there... so why bother 
putting in a sidewalk that needs to be taken out. just put in the 
permanent one. and this new sidewalk isnt connected to any other new 
sidewalks, its probably just gonna have blacktop leading up to it 
from the other sidewalks which will be replaced in coming years as 
projects get completed.

the stone pony as we know it obviously isnt in their future plans, 
otherwise they would have taken the opportunity to put in the real 
sidewalk when the other one was ripped up (and it wasnt like they 
rushed in this temporary sidewalk when they ripped out the old one 
either, there was no sidewalk for almost a month after the old one 
was taken out)

also, still no repairs to the damage on the side of the building from 
ripping out those sidewalks. (and one more thing i'd like to rant 
about the stone pony... could they please take down that ugly coors 
light triangle sign which is bolted to the front of the building... 
that is the tackiest piece of shit on what should be a respected 
historical landmark)

its probably only a matter of time before they release plans for the 
new Casino which is probably gonna include something like a 2500 
capacity stone pony knockoff. and im not too sure why either, being 
that MM wants retail and entertainment on both sides of ocean avenue.

steps need to be taken right now to make sure this doesnt happen, 
otherwise they'll get their plans done and it will be too late. same 
idea as finding out about the bandshell.

now unfortunately, many of us dont live in AP so our voices are 
meaningless at council meetings... and many of us, including myself, 
unfortunately cant go because of work schedules during the week. but 
there must be other ways...

 Why is it that the many pertinent issues voiced in this group are not

 people are not attending.
 
 I could take a day off monthly to drive down and hold hands with Rita

Its the law Jack.

Council meetings are held in a specific format and order with an 
official record made of the proceedings. All comments made and 
actions taken are then the official legal record of the City.

That is why I attend every public meeting possible, they are the 
official workings/processes of the City not rumour, half-facts, etc.
Good conclusions are best made from the facts.

Ad Hoc message boards, forums, etc, are great but do not qualify as 
having any legal weight. The also tend to spread opinion in greater 
quantities than reality. Not to say that a healthy discussion is 
undesirable :-)

Great that Maureen is posting the actual audio so one can know what 
goes on. The only other option at this time would be to order 
transcripts.

Don't need to convince me of that ...

Regarding the lights, I brought the issue up many, many times. I 
even got laughed at here for raising such s 'trivial' issue. The 
City ignored my official testimony at meetings... now we have what 
we have.

In addition the Pony itself has horrendous perimeter lighting as do, 
the MM/AP offices, ConHall, North Beach, BCH...etc, etc.

I warned that it would propagate and eventually get beyond 
controllable. Other communities have gone so far as to adopt 
lighting standard ordinances that are retoactive, forcing the 
removal of non-complient fixtures.

They are much nicer and better comminities for their efforts. Don't 
hold your breaths for Asbury Park to address this rather simple 
and 'trivial' issue.

It's a case of smoke and mirrors. Those lights are what you find at an airport,

Exactly what you'd expect from an organization that specializes in retail

Unfortunately for me, the council meetings and my work schedule are completely 
incompatible. There has to be a way to get this city to grow some balls and 
start 
demanding that MM stop acting like they own the city and can do whatever they 
want.

Jack, I understand your work schedule, but at my last tally, (a few 
days ago) there were 339 NON-BOUNCING members in this group.

Not all group members are residents, but I am willing to bet that 
many are.

Why is it that the many pertinent issues voiced in this group are not 
voiced at the Council mettings?  The educated answer to that is that 
people are not attending.

I could take a day off monthly to drive down and hold hands with Rita 
to loudly say WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?  But I would not affect 
anything because I am not a resident.

I do listen to the Council meeting minutes (thank you Maureen) and I 
long to be a resident.

I did not intend to single you out Jack, I was just lamenting over 
the lack of participation in the Council meetings in general.

Residents of Asbury Park, make your voices heard!

Glenn
