North Haledon work session reviews projects, consent agenda and event requests
Summary
The Aug. 21 North Haledon work session covered engineering notices and project updates (including planned American Legion rededication), communications about local facilities and organizations, numerous consent-agenda resolutions, and a reminder about the Sept. 11 ceremony; the council authorized no substantive final ordinance votes in the minutes.
At its Aug. 21 work session the North Haledon Borough Council discussed several borough projects and communications, reviewed a consent-agenda listing of resolutions and received brief updates from staff.
Mayor Randy George told the council that residents on Linda Vista were given notice only the week of sidewalk construction and asked that the borough provide more advance notice for similar future projects. A Project Status Report was attached to the minutes; borough staff reported that American Legion roof materials were arriving and siding work was scheduled next week, with a rededication planned for Veterans Day.
The minutes record that Holland Christian Home has joined the Christian Health Family and is now called Windmere. The North Haledon Education Foundation has requested permission to hold a Zerbini Family Circus fundraiser in 2025; a resolution authorizing the event appears on the council agenda for adoption. A letter from Cliff Konnerth raised concerns about recruiting Boy Scout members and leaders.
Other items noted for council action or inclusion on the agenda included a certification for a change order for Valley Group related to Pickleball Court Improvements; a Forever Freedom request for a construction permit fee refund at 20 Nassau Street; and four ordinances listed for second reading and adoption (Ordinances #15–#18 covering parking on borough-owned properties, a lease-purchase agreement with the Passaic County Improvement Authority, repeal of a bond ordinance, and a salary amendment). The minutes also list a consent-agenda block of resolutions and an authorization to issue checks totaling $7,451,689.03.
The minutes record that the mayor expressed support for the borough joining an effort to pursue litigation in opposition to the state’s upcoming fourth round of the affordable-housing mandate. The minutes also include routine procedural votes to open and close public comment (no speakers appeared) and to adjourn; the meeting was declared adjourned at 8:09 p.m.
The items above were reported or placed on the council agenda for further action; the minutes do not record final ordinance adoptions during the work session itself.
