Lodi Borough Council approves temporary ambulance parking deal and liquor-license transfer in short Jan. 22 meeting
Summary
At a six-minute Jan. 22 meeting, the Lodi Borough Council approved a temporary ambulance-parking agreement with Bergen County at 80 Kimmig and authorized the transfer of an inactive plenary retail distribution liquor license (Res. 26-10); two school bingo/50-50 applications were noted but received no motion.
The Borough of Lodi Council met for a regular meeting on Jan. 22, 2026, and approved two consent resolutions: a temporary ambulance-parking agreement with Bergen County for space at 80 Kimmig and a transfer of an inactive plenary retail distribution liquor license (resolution 26-10). The meeting began at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:06 p.m.
The clerk presented the consent agenda and the council approved it by roll call. The council recorded affirmative votes for the ambulance-parking agreement from Councilman DelMonico, Councilman Maspos and Councilman Kraffa; Deputy Mayor Martin was absent and Mayor Luna abstained on that item. The council then approved Resolution 26-10, which authorizes a person-to-person and place-to-place transfer of inactive plenary retail distribution license number 0231-44-028-009; recorded yes votes were entered by Councilman DelMonico, Councilman Maspos, Councilman Grama and Councilman Carafa, with Deputy Mayor Martin absent.
Under new business the clerk listed fundraising applications for two local schools: a bingo and a 50/50/tricky-tray for Memorial School’s PTO and a 50/50/tricky-tray for Felician School for exceptional children. No member moved those applications for action during the meeting.
Attendance and procedure: the clerk led the pledge of allegiance and took roll call; Councilman Carafa and Mayor Luna were present, Deputy Mayor Martin was absent, and borough officials including Borough Manager Mark N. Shreeks, Borough Attorney Alan P. Spinello, Borough Engineer Tom Saffaro, Borough Auditor Frank R. D. Maria and Borough Clerk Rebecca Palladino were noted as present. The clerk read the required public-notice information for the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Law and stated the meeting was being audio and video recorded.
The council approved a series of prior meeting minutes and procedural items earlier on the agenda. With no further business, a motion to adjourn carried and the meeting ended at 7:06 p.m.
Next steps: the clerk announced upcoming meetings — an executive council meeting on Feb. 10, 2026 at 6 p.m. and the regular council meeting on Feb. 17, 2026 at 7 p.m.
