Summary

At its Jan. 20 meeting, the Borough of Caldwell Council unanimously approved a consent agenda that included payment of $4,589,499.92 and the immediate appointment of Daniel Scarrillo as a crossing guard. The council also voted to enter executive session on personnel matters.

The Borough of Caldwell Council unanimously approved a consent agenda at its Jan. 20 meeting that authorized payments totaling $4,589,499.92 and appointed Daniel Scarrillo as a crossing guard effective immediately.

The consent agenda, presented by the municipal clerk and approved by roll call, was moved by Councilman Jurgensen and seconded by Councilwoman Hunkele; all members present voted in the affirmative. Present at the meeting were Mayor Jones and council members Jurgensen, Hunkele, Buechner, Daniolowicz, Brown and Rodeffer.

The payment amount is recorded in the meeting minutes as covering the period “1/1/2026 through 1/16/2025.” That date range in the minutes appears inconsistent; the council’s minutes do not clarify whether the end date is a typographical error. The minutes list the bill total as $4,589,499.92 and do not break down individual invoices during the public portion of the meeting.

Also on the consent agenda, the council approved the issuance of canvasser/solicitor permits and a resolution related to the Governor’s Council on Substance Use Disorder. The minutes record the appointment of Daniel Scarrillo as a crossing guard and note the position is effective immediately.

After adopting the consent agenda, the council moved into routine committee reports and the remainder of the agenda. The meeting later recessed into executive session to discuss personnel matters under N.J.S.A. 10:12 and 13 and resumed before adjourning at 7:44 p.m.
