Roselle Park's Mayor and Council adopted the borough's 2026 municipal budget at a special meeting on May 19, 2026, approving $16,193,592.47 for municipal purposes and a minimum library tax of $675,306.
Mayor Michael Signorello opened the meeting and read the required public-notice statement into the record, saying, "This meeting is being held in accordance with the New Jersey Open Public Meetings Act," before the council moved forward with the consent agenda. Borough Clerk Andrew J. Casais read resolutions by title into the record.
Councilman Emil Robaina moved to adopt the resolutions on the consent agenda, including Resolution No. 113-26 (authorizing the budget to be read by title only in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40A:4-8) and Resolution No. 114-26 (adopting the 2026 Municipal Budget). Councilwoman Erin Lyons seconded both motions; "all members present" voted Aye. Present voting Aye were Mayor Signorello and Councilmembers Petrosky, Robaina, Lyons and Casalins. Councilmembers Johnson and Patel were recorded absent.
The budget summary adopted by the council lists $16,193,592.47 for municipal purposes, $0.00 for the school levies noted on the budget sheets, and a $675,306 minimum library tax. The council record shows the required finding under N.J.S.A. 40A:4-8 that a complete copy of the approved budget was made available for public inspection at least one week prior to the hearing and at the hearing itself.
The council opened and closed the public hearing on the budget without any members of the public speaking. After adoption the borough clerk was directed to certify true copies of the adopted budget and to certify that each item of revenue and appropriation is set forth in the same amount and by the same title as appeared in the approved budget and any previously approved amendments.
Mayor Signorello also announced there were no items for a closed executive session. The meeting was adjourned at 5:35 p.m.
Next steps: the borough clerk will file the certified copies in the municipal records as required by the adopting resolution; the transcript and minutes will reflect the council's adoption of Resolutions 113-26 and 114-26 on May 19, 2026.
