North Haledon council reviews engineering updates, introduces ordinances and consent agenda items
Summary
During its April 15 work session, the North Haledon council heard status updates on local road and intersection projects, received multiple communications from residents and organizations, and listed several ordinances and a 15-item consent agenda including a proposed redevelopment agreement amendment and playground equipment proposals.
At the April 15 North Haledon work session, borough staff provided engineering updates and the council reviewed a slate of new-business ordinances and consent-agenda items that will be considered in later proceedings.
Borough Engineer Joseph Pomante reported on public-works items including Overlook Avenue/High Mountain Road intersection improvements (a new meter had been installed but the old one had not yet been removed) and that improvements to Highland Road were currently out to bid. Under communications, the council received notices and letters from Officer Janouk (LEAD invitation), Tim Henderson (disabled veteran), Aidan Horgan of CABT (Coalition Against Bigger Trucks letter to senators), Giovanni Magno (Sun Properties LLC/Spinner Court bond-release request), Lisa Tanis (Belmont Avenue speed-limit concern), Vanessa Talarico (Youth Week), and VCCA (Motorama Car Show).
Council members reviewed proposed ordinances that were listed for future action: a COLA ordinance; an ordinance authorizing a financial agreement with TFJ North Haledon Urban Renewal LLC; and an amendment/supplement to the salary ordinance. Resolutions listed included the reading of the budget resolution, a self-examination of the budget, and introduction of the budget. The consent agenda contained 15 items, among them: acceptance of Kompan playground equipment proposal; acceptance of Boswell Engineering proposal for High Mountain School playground; release of a maintenance bond for Sun Properties/Spinner Court; an authorization to increase deferred local and regional school taxes; a final change order for Squaw Brook Road improvements; appointment of part-time dispatchers Salahuddeen Aljayeh and Joseph Daskus; and authorization for payment of claims totaling $3,026,583.02. Where the transcript lists items without further detail, those items are recorded here as introduced but with substantive particulars "not specified" in the meeting record.
Discussion items and reminders included the 2026 budget and a filing reminder that FDS is due April 30; Youth Week scheduled for May 20 with a pizza reception prior to the meeting and a May 8 deadline for write-ups; notice of opening day for softball and baseball; and a councilmember report that the annual egg hunt was successful. The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m. on a unanimous roll-call vote.
