Resident presses borough on pistol range reopening; attorney says insurer must decide
Summary
A resident told the Hasbrouck Heights council the Pistol Club has its own insurance and urged reopening; borough attorney and police OIC said the NJIIF (borough insurer) controls the decision.
During public comment at the Hasbrouck Heights council meeting, resident Jim Giarratano asked when the borough pistol range would reopen and said the Pistol Club carries its own insurance and historically operated under agreements with prior administrations.
Police OIC Lt. Jeff Werner responded that the decision has been referred to the New Jersey Intergovernmental Insurance Fund (NJIIF), the borough's insurer. Borough Attorney Mark DiPisa told Mr. Giarratano that the NJIIF's decision is determinative for the borough.
The exchange was recorded during the regular session public-comment period; the transcript does not record a final decision by NJIIF or further action by the council. No named motion or vote on the pistol range occurred at the meeting.
