“So far, we have received 51 applications. I don't know the status of them yet because everything is kept confidential,” Wagner said, adding that eligibility is determined by applicants' income and damage levels.

Wagner described the county's two-tiered approach: direct grant awards up to $15,000 for eligible households, and an alternative, interest-free loan of up to $24,999 with no payments required until the property changes ownership for applicants whose damages exceed the $15,000 grant maximum. Wagner said the $24,999 cap was chosen specifically to remain under a $25,000 threshold that would trigger lead-abatement requirements.

The deputy county manager said she would provide updates to the board as the application reviews proceed. She did not provide a count of how many awards, if any, had been approved or disbursed, and she said the status of individual applications is confidential.","Deputy County Manager Amy Wagner told commissioners the county has received 51 applications for its storm-relief grant from 12 towns; the grant caps awards at $15,000 and an alternative no-interest loan of up to $24,999 is available to avoid a $25,000 lead-abatement trigger.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6483067,"County counsel announces public-comment rules for tonight's meeting",108,611540,720210,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5664106-cdb9068eb3ee9531ad5de8aed458f83b&start=611&end=720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5664106-cdb9068eb3ee9531ad5de8aed458f83b/thumbnail_611540.jpg","/articles/6483067/Union-County/New-Jersey/County-counsel-announces-public-comment-rules-for-tonights-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6483067-963b7be59687879321c397c257c6e0c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776240279&Signature=Gh3gATBxnjPBUWW6SPo84QUXi4hpK5ggkNlKpXfMVcgE36iV2PzO2oJXZpeDpTj1zOEZ~whyry6J08w8eROjc~4y3tSLs~fhPgOGEJux8qVHmuB4UAeYk4PfhWsxFlWPwIT3E8495R4b4ysxAsr-4H4f4U48m5fhtykgWP9zIse7o48A~Q-78v1NtCbsUvi9CzoQqTo5aZUZ6gpUTw~BGqI2aazsl1bV3~yqDfjMuQ480kDvXgnSoUp4empDNaZe6UbIvFI-Bwha6nugppj1qxeZA7ejFYwNfijCAEmBddHyQos2Bxfq2M84p4PUjn-16F19rthT5MdFHMA6MJG0eg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County Counsel Bergen told the Union County Board of County Commissioners that public speakers at the meeting would be limited to three minutes each and that a one-minute warning will be given before time expires.

The guidance, read at the start of the agenda-setting session, said speakers must stop when a red sign is held up and that no extra time will be allowed. Bergen said telephone use during the meeting is prohibited and urged in-person attendees to take conversations into the hallway so as not to disturb others.

The rules are intended to ensure everyone who wishes to speak has an opportunity. “Based upon the number of people we are anticipating will be coming before the board tonight to speak to ensure everyone who wishes has an opportunity to speak, the amount of time of each public speaker will be allowed during tonight's meeting will be 3 minutes,” Bergen said.

Bergen also outlined behavioral rules: audience members must not call out from the crowd or make comments outside their speaking time, must refrain from profanity or personal attacks, and may be removed for disrupting the meeting. To manage flow, speaking numbers will be handed out and called in groups of five; when a group’s numbers are called, speakers should line up down the middle aisle and wait until their number is called.

Additional procedural points included a warning not to block aisles and a reminder that violating the rules can result in a speaker's time being ended or removal from the meeting. These directions were presented before the board began consideration of departmental resolutions and other agenda items.","County Counsel Bergen told the Union County Board of County Commissioners that public speakers will be limited to three minutes, with a one-minute warning and a red light indicating time is up; phones and outbursts are prohibited and speaking numbers will be called in groups of five.","actionData","errors"]
