The Borough of Ramsey Mayor and Council on Jan. 6, 2025, voted to approve the minutes of its Dec. 11, 2024, meeting and passed consent resolutions 236 through 240 (2024), including an endorsement of the West Bergen mental health care project’s Bergen County community-development grant application and authorization to renew a bond anticipation note.

The motion to approve the Dec. 11 minutes was made during the meeting and was seconded by Councilwoman Cusick; roll-call votes on the minutes and on the consent resolutions were recorded as “yes” from Councilwoman Cusick, Councilman Gutwecker, Councilman Kilman, Councilman Popolo, Councilwoman Poppy and Councilwoman Woods. No public commenters spoke during the meeting.

Borough administrator Jose summarized the three items singled out in the consent package. He said the West Bergen mental health care project’s Bergen County community-development grant application was being re-endorsed at a revised amount of $49,960 and that “there are no borough funds involved in this project.” He said the bond anticipation note renewal reflects a lower note principal after a $475,000 pay-down on the note, and that an appropriation transfer in the 2024 budget reallocates funds between two line items with no net tax impact.

The council recorded the approvals as part of a consent agenda that included multiple routine resolutions. No additional public comment was made and the meeting moved on to new business.

Details recorded in the meeting transcript match the roll-call approvals and the administrator’s summary of the three highlighted resolutions.
