Northvale council appoints three to fire department, approves large consent agenda including $53,000 Clinton Avenue change order
Summary
The Northvale mayor and council appointed three new members to the borough fire department and approved a broad consent agenda that included professional‑services contracts, a $53,000 reduction to the Clinton Avenue project, grant applications and routine administrative actions.
The Northvale mayor and council on Monday appointed three residents to the Northvale Fire Department and approved a broad consent agenda of professional contracts, grants and administrative items.
Mayor (unnamed) moved to appoint Daniel Fletcher of 370 Summit Street (Norwood), Kunaman Lee of 160 Glen Avenue (Norwood) and Dennis McCalloff of 214 Walnut Street (Northvale) to the borough fire department; Councilman Munafah made the motion and Council President McMorrow seconded. The clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative responses. The appointment motion was carried and the appointees were welcomed as new members of the department.
The council then approved a consent agenda that the mayor said included resolutions 35–48 to create and finalize professional‑services contracts that the council previously approved in January. The consent agenda also included Resolution 49, a change order that reduces the final cost of the Clinton Avenue roadway project by $53,000; the mayor said the CFO will review options for using the returned funds within statutory restrictions.
Other consent items approved included an escrow return for Muffson Landscaping at 147 Walnut (Resolution 54), raffle licenses for May 8 and a March 27 casino night at Saint Anthony’s (Resolutions 55–56), and authorization for Negley to perform engineering work to study drainage and flooding on Willow Avenue ahead of a paving program (Resolution 57).
The mayor opened the consent items to public comment; no comments were received on the consent agenda. The council moved, seconded and took a roll call vote to adopt the consent agenda, with the clerk recording members’ responses on the record.
What happens next: the approved professional contracts will be finalized and executed, the CFO will report back on permissible uses of the $53,000 savings from the Clinton Avenue change order, and Negley is expected to begin the Willow Avenue drainage study in advance of the paving program.
