A
I'd
like
to
welcome
everyone
to
the
special
session
of
the
central
municipal
puerto
vallarta
county.
What
a
wonderful
wonderful
day
today
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
introduce
judge
mike
lee
josh
lee
is
the
incoming
signing
judge
of
atlantic
and
cape
may
county.
As
of
march
1st
he'll
be
taking
on
his
duties
selected
by
by
the
chief
justice,
and
the
announcement
was
made
last
last
week.
So
congratulations
please
and
welcome.
A
Joining
me
on
the
bench
is
joshua
the
presiding
judge
of
our
municipal
courts.
I
think
the
best
president
josh
in
the
city
of
new
jersey,
without
a
doubt
and
thank
you,
josh
verasco
for
all
you've
done
over
the
last
10
years,
advancing
justice
in
our
municipal
courts
and
the
administration
of
our
courts.
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
introduce
our
tca
for
some
opening
remarks.
How
are
you
thank
you
judge.
C
And
good
morning
again
everybody
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
things.
We
have
so
many
wonderful
guests
here.
This
is
kind
of
a
quote
soft
opening.
If
you
will-
and
I
want
to
show
my
back
to
my
to
my
new
boss
here-
sorry
judge-
I
have
two
assignment
judges
right
now.
You
know
anyway,
we
are
certainly
planning
a
much
more
involved,
formal
dedication,
and
we
wanted
everybody
to
know
that
we're
working
with
county
government
and
everybody
and
we're
we're
looking
to
do
that
as
a
part
of
of
law
week.
C
If
you
will,
which
is
the
first
week
in
may,
which
is
going
to
work
out
well-
and
I
mean
everything
is
coming
together
so
beautifully,
but
we're
going
to
do
that,
but
judge
mendes
felt
and
of
course
I
thought
it
was
very
special,
particularly
since
he
is
officially
retiring
at
the
end
of
this
month
and
has
had
so
much
to
do
with
this.
So
to
talk
into
to
the
county
and
certainly
to
the
court
we
wanted.
I
we
felt
it
was
important
that
judge
mendes
do
the
official
oath
of
office
to
our
judges.
C
Judge
alberno
could
not
be
here
today,
but
we
have
we'll
introduce
judges
in
a
bit,
but
this
was
a
special
time
for
judge
mendes.
So
we
wanted
to
do
this,
particularly
for
you,
and
I
thought
that
was
really
a
good
thing
to
do
so.
I
just
wanted
to
just
say
a
few
things
that
I'll
try
to
reserve
a
lot
of
my
comments
for
from
may,
but
this
is
just
an
incredible
since
it's
our
first
public
gathering,
if
you
will,
this
is
just
an
incredible
time.
I
think
back
well.
C
If
you
will
judge
judge
executive
levinson,
I
was
thinking
about
the
possibility
of
a
consolidation,
and
we
just
started
pushing
some
ideas
around
and
clearly
judge
mendes
who
without
question
if
he
had
a
middle
name
besides
his
real
middle
name,
I
would
say
it's
reform
because
he
is
all
about
justice
reform
and
certainly
municipal
court
reform
and
judge
mendez
was
certainly
on
board.
With
that.
C
Of
course,
we
were
well
as
we
still
are
in
the
middle
of
covid,
so
there
were
a
lot
of
virtual
meetings,
but
committees
and
and
everything
just
really
took
off,
and
it's
been
it's
been
a
whirlwind,
but
an
incredible
and
I've
been
in
this
business
for
over
40
years.
It's
just
one
of
the
most
incredible
experiences
that
I've
had
when
I
first
started
bringing
people
that
had
never
been
to
this
building
before.
A
C
Brian
jenner
had
never
been
here
before
our
incredible
municipal
division
manager.
He
could
not
believe
this
great
facility
and-
and
I
kept
saying
this
is
a
great
facility
thanks
to
county
government,
how
they
maintain
this
renovated.
It
push
push
a
tremendous
amount
of
funding
in
this
and
we
all
knew
that
this
this
building
was
going
to
work.
If
we
could
pull
this
all
together
and
through
the
series
of
meetings
it
just
really,
it
just
really
really
was
again
an
incredible
moment.
C
Just
thanks
and
we'll
again
make
more
formal
thank
yous
in
in
may,
and
hopefully
a
lot
of
these
folks
will
be
here.
Certainly
some
of
you
are
here
now,
but
we're
hopeful
that
maybe
the
chief
justice
and
judge
grant
the
director
of
the
administrative
director
of
the
courts,
who
have
been
incredibly
supportive,
to
say
the
least
and
all
the
folks
from
the
administrative
office
of
the
courts
state
government,
my
gosh
jim,
the
the
things
that
we've
done
with
state
government.
C
But,
as
you
all
know,
we
did
get
a
piece
of
very
important
legislation,
thanks
to
then
senator
sweeney,
who
was
very
much
behind
that
and
working
with
his
staff
division
of
government
services,
jim
jelena,
because
he
just
folks
he's
gonna,
think
I
know
at
some
point
but
but
you
know
from
I
said,
state
government,
our
court,
you
know
the
superior
court,
the
municipal
court,
the
division
judge
belasco
brian,
all
of
those
folks,
everybody
wow
county
government.
Some
of
you
are
here
just
thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
know
all
of
you.
C
I
consider
your
friends,
but
this
is
a
jerry
and
jerry
griffin
and
jim
and
I.t
facilities.
I
mean,
I
said
it
was
an
incredible
facility
when
we
walked
in
here,
but
what
a
what
a
great
place
now
and
everything
that
we're
doing
so,
thanks
again
to
everybody,
I'm
sure
I
missed
diana
ratulis
here,
just
county
government
has
been
phenomenal.
We've
been
working
with
the
sheriff
or
you'll
see
the
security
enhancements
that
have
been
made.
That's
going
to
make
this.
C
C
So
I
there's
no
doubt
that
I
miss
somebody
and
on
my
thank
yous,
but
just
I
it's
really
important
in
this
first
public
setting
that
we
just
certainly
sincerely
just
say
thanks
for
all
of
this
effort-
and
this
is
this-
is
really
an
exciting
and
exciting
time
for
all
of
us.
Okay,
and
certainly
myself,
I
really
believe
in
the
municipal
courts.
It's
always
been
a
part
of
my
my
real
love
of
working
on
the
court,
so.
C
D
C
E
Just
like
to
say
thank
you,
everybody
for
attending
and
howard.
You
had
to
nail
on
the
head.
This
was
such
a
collaborative
effort
and
everybody
was
tremendous
in
getting
us
to
this
point
where
we
are
now,
and
I
can't
express
my
gratitude
as
a
division
manager
for
everybody
who
assisted
and
put
the
work
in
here
to
get
this
make
this
a
reality.
E
D
E
Molina
miller
and
charisma
serrano,
but
they
all
have
been
supportive
and
they've
all
put
in
tremendous
work
and
tremendous
hours
in
getting
us
to
this
point
where
we
are
today,
but
I
cannot
thank
judge
velasco,
our
pj
enough
for
everything
and
all
the
wisdom
and
knowledge
that
he
provided
us
and
helping
us
get
through
this
as
well.
Thank
you,
judge,
velasquez,.
E
E
E
Although
we
had
a
few
bumps
in
the
road
we've
been
able
to
overcome
and
judge
mcguire,
I'm
sure
that
you
could
attest
to
some
of
the
things
that
we
had
to
work
through
and
iron
out
to
get
here,
but
thank
you
judge
mcguire,
for
you
for
your
efforts
as
the
chief
judge
of
this
court
and
getting
us
through
this.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
tony
tubman
she's,
the
court
administrator.
E
E
C
E
Because
now
eileen
is
going
to
be
our
point
person
for
the
municipal
division.
She
was
hired
as
assistant
division
manager
for
my
office.
We're
the
only
municipal
division
in
the
state
of
new
jersey
with
two
assistant
division
managers
and
eileen
is
going
to
be
our
point
person
here.
She
was
hired
for
that
particular
task
and
duties
and
I'm
sure
she's
going
to
do
outstanding
job.
E
C
C
Yeah
and
chief
sharkey
and
all
the
sheriff's
officers,
so
thank
you
for
the
continued
communication
and
working
with
us
on
that.
I
appreciate
that
my
assistant,
the
operation
joe
hack,
is
here
jill's
been
very
involved
in
the
project.
Jamie
seymour
from
my
office
is
always
involved,
there's
genie
but
again
rit
people,
everybody
everybody's,
just
we
don't
have
enough
balloons
to
just
celebrate,
but
we
will
okay
so
again.
Thank
you
all
and
judge
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to.
A
A
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
our
municipal
officials,
who
made
the
courageous
decision
to
become
part
of
the
central
municipal
court
in
atlantic
county,
and
they
they
were
able
to
see
all
the
benefits
to
the
people
that
they
serve
when
they,
when
they
come
into
the
municipal
courts
in
a
centralized
facility
facility
like
this
and
the
goal
that
we
have
of
providing
a
multitude
of
services
to
assist
people
that
may
have
mental
health
issues.
Domestic
violence
concerns
addiction
issues
and
we
hope
that
we
can
coordinate
services
and
provide
tools
to
our
judges.
A
A
I
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
reluctance,
for
example
on
the
part
of
the
people
that
work
in
the
municipal
courts,
but
here
we
are
most
mostly
not
all
of
our
staff
at
the
central
fort
came
from
the
municipalities
already
experienced
people
with
great
skill
and
knowledge,
and
I
am
very
pleased
that
we
put
together
a
wonderful
staff
to
to
manage
and
administer
case
management
in
this
court.
Likewise,
our
judges
came
from
the
municipalities
as
well,
so
we've
been
able
to
achieve
something.
A
A
Some
of
you
may
get
a
chance
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
tour
today
at
the
different
parts
of
our
municipal
core
facility
here
in
in
this
building.
Wonderful
courtroom
right
next
to
us.
I
we
remember
appearing
there
before
josh
pereira
when
I
was
a
young
lawyer
appearing
here
before
I
believe
just
greenberg
sat
here
in
this
courtroom,
new
starters
out
on
the
third
one
and
and
and
maximizing
the
use
of
this
facility
with
security,
with
great
recommendations
that
have
come
to
us
from
the
sheriff's
department.
A
A
I
want
to
highlight
the
great
work
of
solution,
ferguson
for
the
county,
going
out
of
their
way
and
promoting
the
concept
and
trying
to
highlight
the
benefits
of
this
important
new
way
of
handling
municipal
municipal
courts.
Of
course
I
want.
I
want
to
be
thankful
to
the
former
president
of
the
senate,
senator
sweeney,
who
was
sponsored
of
the
latest
nation
that
ultimately
became
the
law,
along
with
the
senate
and
and
and
and
the
assembly.
Just
to
give
you
an
example
of
the
commitment
that
the
courts
have
in
this
concept.
A
They
actually
allow
me,
as
simon
george,
to
appear
before
the
senate
assembly
and
the
senate,
and
I'm
sorry
for
the
senate
and
the
assembly
to
testify
in
support
of
the
law
and-
and
I
did
that
not
often
actually
has
not
happened
in
any
other
time.
In
my
opinion,
I
suggest
for
for
20
years
for
the
last
10
years
as
a
as
a
situation.
So
I
am
I.
A
I
am
very
thankful
that
we
are
where
we
are,
and
I
look
forward
to
a
very
successful
model
that
people
in
the
future
in
other
places,
will
come
here
and
learn
how
the
great
people
of
atlantic
county
put
this
together.
The
courageous
decisions
made
by
the
municipal
officials
to
do
this,
and
and
in
in
some
ways
it
is
the
fulfillment
of
the
promise
of
the
1947
constitution
for
a
unified
court
system
in
the
seventy
years.
A
F
It
wasn't
so
long
ago
that
we
really
wondered
whether
we
would
ever
be
here
today.
There
were
a
lot
of
obstacles
on
the
way.
This
truly
was
a
collaborative
effort,
a
true
shared
service
between
the
judiciary,
the
county
and
the
participating
municipalities,
and
I
I've
got
to
give
so
much
credit
to
everyone.
It
was
a
tough
task,
but
we
persevered
and
we're
here
today
because
of
that
perseverance
from
everybody
in
this
room
judge.
F
I
especially
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
judge
belasco
was
terrific
throughout
the
process,
particularly
when
keeping
us
in
line.
When
I
drafted
some
things,
and
he
would
come
back
and
say
no,
we
got
to
do
it
this
way
and
really
being
there
is
the
steady
hand
throughout
this
process,
so
judge
I
thank
you.
F
I
thank
howard
and
the
members
of
your
staff,
and
I
can't
say
enough
about
brian
jenner
boy,
what
a
great
guy
in
helping
us
through
this
process,
all
the
spreadsheets
and
things
that
he
that
he
did
and
you
know
with
he
gave
to
judge
samson
and
I
to
go
around
and
discuss
with
the
municipalities
and
time
after
time.
I'd
come
back
to
him
and
say
you
know:
can
we
tweak
this?
Can
we
tweak
that,
and
he
was
always
there
willing,
ready,
willing
and
able
to
help
us.
Janelle
was
terrific.
F
We
wouldn't
be
here
today
without
jerry
griffin,
who's,
our
director
of
facilities,
who
coordinated.
As
you
know,
we
were
involved
in
a
big
hvac
project
here,
which
got
delayed
a
little
bit
through
no
fault
of
the
county,
or
the
contractor
was
just
waiting
for
some
component
parts
to
come
in
to
complete
that
project.
F
But
jerry
kept
everything
on
track
and
he
is
largely
responsible
for
the
the
beautiful
building
and
this
courtroom
that
we
sit
in
today
and
then
the
municipal
officials
we
have
with
us
today
mayor
charles
kane
and
deputy
mayor
richard
sheep,
from
the
host
town
of
hamilton,
township
they're.
Both
here
gentlemen,
I
appreciate
your
being
here.
Thank
you
and
we
have
mayor
paul
hodson,
who
is
from
the
largest
municipality.
That's
part
of
this
court.
F
There
were
a
lot
of
people
at
various
levels,
but
particularly
a
lot
of
the
municipalities
that
didn't
want
to
see
this
work,
and
you
three
in
particular,
and
the
mayors
and
administrators
of
the
other
towns
that
joined
had
the
courage,
the
courage
to
do
the
right
thing,
and
I
truly
believe
this
is
the
right
thing
and
that
it
will
work
out
and
the
process
that
we've
started
on
will
be
vindicated
as
we
move
forward.
So
thank
you
again,
everybody
and
judge
blee.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
your
new
role
as
well.

constitution
of
the
state
of
new
jersey
that
I
will
bear
true
faith
and
allegiance.

My
old
friend
judge,
hanson.
I
give
him
my
two
cents
and
it's
what
a
great
way
for
me
to
start
my
career
march
1st,
as
assignment
judge,
to
come
to
this
event.
I
can
tell
you
that
you
know
we're
in
the
infancy.
You
did
all
the
hard
work
and
my
wife
has
a
saying
to
include
his
exclude.
So
I'm
not
going
to
recognize
all
my
friends
here
and
I
don't
want
to
reiterate,
what's
been
said,
but
we
have
hard
work
to
go
to
move
forward
in
the
future.
B
B
I've
always
had
a
great
relationship
with
the
county
government,
our
municipal
court
administrators.
I
know
what
it's
about
you
know
looking
at.
That
was
one
of
the
youngest
prosecutors
in
the
county,
public
defender
and
municipal
court
judge.
So
this
is
this
is
where
my
heart
belongs.
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
talk
about
my
municipal
court
judges.
I
couldn't
have
selected
minor
people
I'll
start
with
presiding
judge
belasco.
B
You
know.
I
got
the
call,
as
a
municipal
court
judge
from
mayor
de
panphilis,
become
the
municipal
court
judge
northfield
winwood
the
next
day,
I'm
meeting
with
judge
velasco
and
he's
training
me
and
trained
me
well
recognizing
how
important
the
physician
is,
how
much
how
challenging
the
physician
is,
and
once
I
started,
I
was
ready
to
go
due
to
his
leadership,
he's
also
a
college
grad.
So
that's
good
I'll
start
with
many
people.
Don't
know
this.
B
I
consider
a
mentor
judge
followers,
my
first
job,
if
you
can
imagine,
as
a
first
year
law
student
was
as
a
law
clerk
for
judge,
paul,
rory
and
some
of
his
partners,
and
I've
learned
so
much
from
judge
fauley
about
justice
and
and
compassion
for
your
clients.
So
it's
such
an
honor
to
have
him
working
again
together.
B
As
I
mentioned,
judge
freed
we've
known
each
other.
You
know,
since
I
first
started
practicing
as
practicing
attorneys.
We
were
adversaries
and
I
say
that
jokingly.
We
had
a
great
relationship
and
I
happened
to
serve
as
a
solicitor
in
galway
township.
When
judge
freed
was
selected
and
certainly
admitted
with
the
you
know,
my
high
recommendations
do
judge
mcguire
and
I
cannot
forget
mrs
mcguire.
B
B
What
a
great
week
and
judge
mcguire
and
I
and
bringing
team
on
a
lot
of
different
sides
of
the
table
same
table
and
we're
always
cooperative
friendly.
We
did
we
understood
our
roles
and
what
a
beautiful
thing
when
I
became
the
presiding
judge
of
january
to
have
michelle
mcguire
as
my
go-to
appointee,
with
some
very
difficult
things
always
done
with
a
smile
on
her
face
and
people.
You
can
trust
and
missing.
Judge
verno
and
I
were
in
the
school
play
in
holy
spirit.

No
thanks,
I
just
very
briefly.
I
don't
want
to
repeat
what
has
already
been
said.
I
want
to
thank
the
staff,
they
do
a
tremendous
job
up
and
when
I
turn
the
engine
room,
that's
an
old
growing
term.
They
really
get
a
lot
of
work
done
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize
thank
the
county,
the
municipalities
and
the
joint
effort,
brian.
G
I
first
walked
in
here.
I
thought
there
is
no
way
this
building
will
be
ready
by
march
1st
and
to
sit
here
now
and
see
this
courtroom
in
this
condition,
and
all
you
people
here
who
have
made
it
possible.
I
just
thank
you
all
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
and
it's
upward
and
onward
from
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
