North Haledon council approves consent agenda: contracts, appointments and $2.9M in bill payments
Summary
The council adopted Consent Agenda CA#2-2025 on Jan. 15, approving towing and raffle licenses, a Drager Alcotest purchase ($22,822.50), a shared services agreement with NRESC ($19,474.00 annual), a contract increase to Millenium (to $15,000), appointment of a probationary firefighter, buy-back time payments, and authorization to issue payments totaling $2,918,883.83.
At its Jan. 15 meeting the Borough of North Haledon Mayor and Council approved a consent agenda (CA#2-2025) that bundled routine licenses, contracts, appointments and payment authorizations.
The consent agenda passed by a roll-call vote with all members present voting in the affirmative. Items approved included: buy-back sick-time payments for Paul Levajac ($7,027.53) and David Parenta ($8,282.49); a 2024 veteran property tax deduction for Kenneth Sinatra ($250); towing licenses for City Wide Towing Company (Hawthorne), J & M Towing (Wayne) and Camp Auto (Wayne); raffle licenses for Haledon PTA, Circassian Education Foundation and Ridgewood High School; an award of contract to Draeger for an Alcotest 9510 system at $22,822.50 under NJ State Contract #T-3031; a shared-services agreement with the Northern Region Education Services Commission (NRESC) for technology support at $19,474.00 for calendar year 2025 pursuant to the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act (NJSA 40A:65-1 et seq.); the appointment of Theodore Wittner as a probationary firefighter; an increase to the Millenium grant research and writing contract by $10,000 to a total of $15,000; and authorization for the Mayor, Deputy CFO and Deputy Clerk to sign checks for the bills list, which totaled $2,918,883.83.
Resolutions were presented and moved for adoption as a block; council members indicated their approval by roll call. Where the resolutions cite certification of available funds (contracts and payments), the minutes record Treasurer/CFO certification. No separate public discussion or contested debate on the consent items was recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: contracting staff will execute the Draeger purchase under state contract and the Municipal Clerk is authorized to notify successful towing and raffle applicants. The Clerk and finance staff were authorized to process payments per the approved schedule.
