Rutherford council authorizes Memorial Field grant application and approves seasonal hires
Summary
The council authorized a grant application to NJDCA for roughly $500,000 for Memorial Field improvements and approved temporary/seasonal hires including a cross‑country youth assistant and a temporary fire‑safety employee.
At its Oct. 14 meeting the Rutherford mayor and council authorized submission of a grant proposal to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for the 2026 Recreational Improvement Special Grant to continue improvements at Memorial Field; the amount cited during the meeting was approximately $500,000.
Council President McGawan introduced Resolution No. 214 authorizing the grant submission. The council moved, seconded, and approved the resolution by roll call.
The meeting also included routine personnel consents. The council approved the appointment of Maya Stadler as a cross‑country youth assistant at $12 per hour and the appointment of Susan Fuji as a temporary employee in the fire‑safety bureau at $30 per hour; both appointments were approved by motion and roll call.
The grant application, if awarded, would fund continued recreational improvements at Memorial Field; the council did not detail a specific project list in the spoken record. The personnel appointments are effective per the clerk’s authority and listed hourly rates were recorded on the consent items.
