Tenafly council approves $4.09 million bond ordinance and seeks $250,000 county grant to light ballcourts
Summary
Council adopted a multipurpose bond ordinance appropriating $4,089,950 for public improvements and equipment and authorized a Bergen County open‑space grant application for $250,000 toward lighting Roosevelt Common pickleball and tennis courts.
The council unanimously adopted a multipurpose bond ordinance (26‑16) that appropriates $4,089,950 for a package of public improvements and equipment purchases, including information technology, communications equipment and vehicles. The ordinance was read and adopted on roll call with no public comment.
Separately, the council approved a resolution to apply for $250,000 from the Bergen County Open Space Trust Fund to pay roughly half of an anticipated $500,000 project to install lighting at Roosevelt Common’s pickleball and West End tennis courts. Administrator David said the project would be engineered to meet shielding and timer requirements; council members noted tennis and pickleball lights are typically timed to turn off at about 10 p.m. to limit neighborhood impacts.
