Oakland swears in new police officer as council approves capital projects and $1.01M in bills
Summary
At its June 17 meeting the Oakland Borough Council hired and swore in Bradley Hildebrandt as a police officer, adopted several capital ordinances for water and flood prevention, approved a slate of resolutions and raffle licenses, and authorized $1,008,800.98 in bills.
The Oakland Borough Council on June 17 voted to hire and swear in Bradley Hildebrandt as a borough police officer and approved a set of capital and administrative measures, including the adoption of water-system capital ordinances and a flood-damage prevention ordinance.
Bradley Hildebrandt recited the oath of office and signed the paperwork on the council dais after the council approved resolution 25-1-84 to hire him. "I, Bradley Hildebrandt, do solemnly swear..." the record shows. Mayor Eric Amala and council members welcomed the new officer and the mayor said the borough is glad to have him join the department.
On the same agenda the council approved a broad consent slate of resolutions (25-1-85 through 25-2-06) covering recreational refunds, discharge of a tax lien, grant-related items (including NJUCF Green Team community grant and opioid-settlement payment), liquor-license renewals, a shared-service agreement for fire-apparatus maintenance, NJDOT grant applications, a Ramapo Indian Hills High School field-usage agreement, and an authorization to settle with Pacific Construction. The council then authorized payment of bills totaling $1,008,800.98.
Council members also completed final adoption of capital ordinances related to water-system repairs and road resurfacing tied to a Lehigh Way water-main break, and an ordinance to fund recurring water-system improvements. The council approved funding for an Alcotest breathalyzer purchase that had been recommended for court validation.
The meeting concluded with announcements about upcoming meetings: a joint planning board and council special meeting on June 23 to discuss the borough’s fourth-round affordable housing work and the council’s next regular meeting on July 15.
Votes: motions, public openings for comment, and roll-call approvals are recorded in meeting minutes and the council carried the personnel hire and listed ordinances/resolutions with affirmative votes at the June 17 session.
