Allendale council appoints Greg Anderson as temporary fire chief and approves consent agenda including police vehicle purchase
Summary
Allendale Borough Council unanimously approved Resolution 2024 Des 248 appointing Greg Anderson as temporary fire chief, and passed a consent agenda that included final street‑scape phases, vendor approvals, and purchase of a replacement police F‑150 following a vehicle loss.
Allendale Borough Council swore in Greg Anderson as the borough’s temporary fire chief after approving Resolution 2024 Des 248 by roll call.
The resolution to appoint Greg Anderson passed on a roll‑call vote after a council motion and second; Anderson then repeated the oath of office administered by Mayor Wilinski. Councilmembers recorded affirmative votes for the resolution.
During the same meeting the council approved a consent agenda that the mayor said included approvals for lawn and commercial grounds vendors, final phases of the street‑scape project, and the award of a DoGrant for the street‑scape’s last phase. The consent agenda also authorized purchase of a new police pickup — an F‑150 — to replace a patrol vehicle destroyed in an on‑duty incident, and included standard budget transfers, a list of bills and the upcoming snow‑plowing contract awards.
Councilwoman Homman and other members emphasized the practical need for the police vehicle purchase in light of the earlier vehicle loss. Council votes to adopt the consent agenda were recorded with multiple yes votes and one abstention by Councilman Yaro.
The meeting closed with standard committee and staff reports and an adjournment. The council did not take additional separate votes on the police vehicle or the street‑scape items beyond their inclusion on the consent agenda; formal actions on those projects will follow procurement and contract procedures already in process.
