North Haledon council reviews ordinances, consent agenda and enters executive session
Summary
At its July 17 work session the Borough of North Haledon reviewed proposed ordinances including a lease purchase with the Passaic County Improvement Authority and listed a consent agenda (including a settlement referenced as Borough of North Haledon vs. Kurt Faber, Docket No. PAS L-699-22 and payment of claims totaling $8,388,530.72); minutes show an executive session and adjournment but record no final votes on those listed items.
The North Haledon Borough Council used its July 17, 2024 work session to review several proposed ordinances, list consent-agenda items, and to enter an executive session before adjourning.
The clerk entered the engineering Project Status Report and the 2024 Road Improvement Project into the minutes. Council members reviewed communications and a list of proposed ordinances: Ordinance #15-2024 (amending salary ordinance), Ordinance #16-2024 (lease purchase agreement with the Passaic County Improvement Authority), Ordinance #17-2024 (repealing a bond ordinance) and Ordinance #18-2024 (salary amendment).
A consent agenda was read into the minutes; items listed included authorization for buy-back time, awards of contract for a High Pressure Breathing System and for the 2024 Road Improvement Project, approval of settlement of Borough of North Haledon vs Kurt Faber (Docket No. PAS L-699-22), award of contract for a 2024 F-550 chassis, raffle licenses, and payment of claims/issuance of checks totaling $8,388,530.72. The work-session minutes record the list of consent items but do not record a formal approval vote for those items during this session.
Council Member Donna Puglisi moved that the clerk read and waive the reading of an executive-session resolution by title; that motion, seconded by Council Member Bruce O. Iacobelli, is recorded and the minutes note 'IN ______ OUT 8:09.' The minutes do not record the subject matter discussed in executive session. The meeting was later adjourned after a motion by Puglisi, seconded by Council Member Jacqueline Roscio; the minutes record the adjournment at 8:12 p.m.
What the minutes do and do not show: The work-session minutes capture agenda materials and actions to open and close public comment and to move into executive session, but they do not show council votes adopting the listed ordinances or approving the consent agenda during this meeting. Any formal approvals would be reflected in a regular meeting or separate recorded vote and are not contained in these work-session minutes.
Details from the minutes may be reviewed in the official record; the clerk's signature block shows the minutes were submitted by Deputy Clerk Dena Cedar and approved at the August 21, 2024 council meeting.
