West Milford EDC adopts previous minutes, hears tourism-map and Chamber updates
Summary
The Economic Development Commission unanimously approved the Oct. 8 minutes, carried several projects into 2026, received a tourism map update indicating a Q1 2026 draft, heard a Chamber request from Jenti Jewelers, and adjourned at 8:07 p.m.
The West Milford Economic Development Commission adopted the Oct. 8, 2025 meeting minutes and reviewed standing projects at its Dec. 9 meeting.
Councilwoman Ada Erik moved to adopt the prior meeting minutes "as presented," and Commissioner Rudy Hass seconded. The minutes record the vote as "unanimously in favor." The document does not list an itemized roll-call vote for that motion; a separate adoption record later in the minutes lists a set of "ayes" and absentees that differs from the attendance recorded at the start of the meeting (the minutes themselves list both attendance and a later adoption roll-call). The commission’s minutes state only that the motion carried.
Commissioners recorded there are no remaining 2025 meeting dates. Several projects were carried to 2026 with no update recorded: the web/calendar, Restaurant Week, QR codes at trailheads, and the Women in Business quarterly luncheon.
On ongoing projects, Councilman Matthew P. Conlon said the tourism map draft is under review by the NY/NJ Trail Conference and is expected to be finished in the first quarter of 2026 before county review and publication. Commissioner Stu Feldman provided a Chamber of Commerce update; Councilman Conlon noted a request in process from Jenti Jewelers related to the Mayor’s Business Spotlight program.
At 8:07 p.m., Commissioner Rudy Hass moved to adjourn and Councilwoman Ada Erik seconded; the minutes record the vote as unanimous and note the meeting adjourned.
Why it matters: Adoption of minutes and routine project updates are formal steps that keep the commission’s record current and identify items carried forward for 2026 work. The tourism-map timeline and the Chamber’s pending business-spotlight requests are actionable items expected to return to the commission for further discussion.
