North Haledon reviews road and playground projects; consent agenda lists $4.44M in bills and multiple appointments
Summary
At its Jan. 21 work session the borough engineer reported progress on intersection lighting, Manchester Avenue bidding, a 10-street 2026 road program and proposals for the High Mountain School playground; the minutes list a 16-item consent agenda including authorization/payment of bills totaling $4,440,599.47 and two part-time staff appointments.
Borough Engineer Joseph Pomante reported at the Jan. 21 North Haledon work session that the Overlook Avenue/High Mountain Road intersection light is installed and operating but still experiencing programming issues while the borough awaits power to a new cable box. He said Manchester Avenue improvements will be out to bid on Feb. 19 with award planned for March 18, the watershed inventory report is expected next month, and the 2026 Road Improvement Project will include 10 streets.
Pomante listed proposals for High Mountain School playground rehabilitation and Highland Road improvements and noted change orders for Squaw Brook Road improvements. The minutes record that Joe Pomante was dismissed from the meeting at 7:36 p.m.
Clerk Dena Cedar read a 16-item consent agenda that included acceptance of multiple engineering proposals (Boswell Engineering listed), authorization to receive bids for a High Mountain School playground and for diesel and gas, appointments of Renate Elatab as part-time assistant tax clerk and Christopher Delgado as part-time court clerk, approval of towing licenses, a shared-services agreement for regional education tech services, auction authorization for surplus DPW equipment and an authorization/payment of bills totaling $4,440,599.47. The work-session minutes list the items but do not record a formal roll-call vote on the consent agenda itself.
Procedural actions recorded in the minutes include a unanimous roll-call approval to open and then close public comment (no speakers) and a unanimous motion to adjourn at 7:53 p.m.
Why it matters: the projects and procurement steps described affect local streets, school recreational space and service contracts; the listed payment total is a significant fiscal figure for borough expenditures. The minutes do not record final approvals for the consent items in this work session.
