The Pompton Lakes Redevelopment Agency on May 15 approved payment of four invoices and clarified that several of the charges are being paid from developer escrow accounts, not from the borough's operating budget.

The agency accepted invoices totaling the amounts cited in the meeting packet, including a $2,205 invoice and a $1,455.75 invoice from Colliers Engineering and Design. The board approved the payments by roll call vote.

The clarification about escrow funds came during the discussion before the vote. A member identified as Mary told the board that “most of those bills … except Jason’s nameplate” were to be paid from developer escrow, meaning the town would not cover those particular bills. The municipal clerk, Liz Brandness, had provided the meeting packet and related correspondence earlier in the meeting.

Roll call for the invoice approval recorded “yes” votes for Mister Quigley, Mister Ross, Mister Sinkie, Mister Avasi, and Councilman Bennett. The motion authorizing the payments was called and carried; no roll-call “no,” “abstain,” or recusals were recorded in the transcript.

The invoice approvals were handled as routine business; no amendments or follow-up assignments were recorded.

Agency members also noted routine correspondence from the municipal clerk and continued other agenda business after the vote.
