Ridgewood council approves broad consent agenda including PFAS treatment contracts for Ridgewood Water
Summary
At its June 11 meeting the Ridgewood Village Council adopted a multi-item consent agenda that included contracts for PFAS treatment systems at Ridgewood Water facilities, GIS software support, road resurfacing and a slate of other municipal services and grants. The measures passed unanimously by roll call vote.
The Ridgewood Village Council on June 11 approved a broad consent agenda that bundled dozens of routine and capital items, including multiple contracts to install granulated activated carbon (GAC) PFAS treatment systems at Ridgewood Water facilities, a geographic information system (GIS) software support contract, road resurfacing work, and several grant applications and equipment purchases.
The consent agenda was presented by the village clerk and adopted in one motion and second by the council. Roll-call voting recorded unanimous approval by Council Member Frank Mortimer, Deputy Mayor Perrin, Council Member Weitz, Council Member Siobhan Winograd and Council Member Vagianos.
Why it matters: several of the approved contracts relate to the village's water system and PFAS treatment at multiple facilities. Those contracts are capital improvements that affect municipal infrastructure planning and future operations for Ridgewood Water. Other approved items include road resurfacing work in Ridgewood and neighboring Glenrock and Wyckoff, equipment purchases for recycling operations, and grant applications for NJDOT municipal aid and local transportation projects.
Key items adopted by consent (selected): - Award contract: Geographic information system software support for the Village of Ridgewood and Ridgewood Water. - Award contracts: Granulated activated carbon (GAC) treatment systems for multiple PFAS treatment facilities (Main, East Side, Mount PFAS treatment facilities). - Title 59 approval and award: Bank stabilization at Hohokis Brook along the Dunham Trail. - Award contract: Road resurfacing and repair in Ridgewood and in Wyckoff. - Award contract: Professional services for project management and video production / public relations campaign for Ridgewood Water improvements. - Award contracts and purchases for firefighter gear, decontamination washer (grant-funded), manhole frames and covers, and digital recording and sound upgrades for the municipal courtroom. - Authorize NJDOT 2026 municipal aid grant application for West Ridgewood Avenue resurfacing and a local program grant application for a bus shelter at Van Neste/Vana (Venice) Square.
The consent package also included administrative items: annual liquor license renewals, donation acceptances for trail planning, declaring surplus property, appointments to advisory boards, and shared services agreements (including a snow-plowing agreement with Bergen County).
What council members said: The clerk read the list of resolutions by title; after a motion and second the council voted in sequence with all members voting "yes." There were no recorded abstentions or dissents on the consent items.
Next steps: Contracts and grant applications move forward to contract execution or further administrative steps consistent with each award's procurement requirements. The meeting record does not specify funding sources or individual contract amounts for each award in the consent agenda.
