Loading...
Summary
The April 16 work session published a 16-item consent agenda including a contract award for Willow Field drainage and a notation that the borough applied for a playground grant; CFO Chris Battaglia recorded no conflict with the Battaglia Excavation award. The session listed adoption of the 2025 municipal budget and several administrative resolutions.
At its April 16 work session, the Borough of North Haledon listed multiple ordinances and a 16-item consent agenda for future action, including items related to personnel pay, licenses and contracts, refunds for qualifying veterans, and payment of claims totaling $1,329,863.81.
The agenda referenced three ordinances — Ordinance #4-2025 (COLA), Ordinance #5-2025 (Capital Budget) and Ordinance #6-2025 (Salary Ordinance) — and included a resolution captioned "Adoption / 2025 Municipal Budget." The work-session minutes record the items were placed on the agenda for consideration, but the transcript does not record a vote on the municipal budget or the consent agenda at this session.
The consent agenda listed, among other items: a buy-back-time resolution; approval of a raffle license; authorization to execute a redevelopment agreement with TFJ North Haledon Urban Renewal, LLC for Block 31, Lot 10.04; fixing salaries and compensations for 2025; refunds of construction permits; authorization related to the Governor's Council on Substance Use Disorder Alliance; acceptance of engineering proposals for municipal-aid and road programs; a lease agreement for a Kyocera photocopier; authorization to receive bids for Squaw Brook Road; approval of the Motorama Car Show; award of contract for Willow Field drainage to Battaglia Excavation; two 100% disabled-veteran tax refunds; appointment of an interim alternate to the planning board (Anthony Vaccaro); and authorization for payment of claims in the amount of $1,329,863.81.
CFO Chris Battaglia made a point on the record that he has no relationship or conflict of interest with Battaglia Excavation regarding the listed award. The minutes do not record whether the council approved the consent agenda or the municipal budget at this work session; those matters may be scheduled for action at a subsequent public meeting.
Administrative items noted at the end of the session included reminders about the FDS filing deadline (April 30), Youth Week (May 21) and an egg hunt scheduled to proceed rain or shine. The meeting adjourned at 7:59 p.m.
