the office of the City Clerk as a permanent record.
Mrs. Dukes advised the Mayor that her Docket was completed.

The Mayor thanked her and commended Mr. Lacava and his staff for
a tax decrease in the budget. He also commended the City Council for
understanding the burden on our taxpayers and the Department of Public
works for understanding we cannot fund all of their requests.
He advised Mrs. Dukes that she could now hang his picture. This
is his first full year and his first full budget.
The Mayor asked the City Manager if he wished to speak.
Mr. Lacava said although there were those who felt the petitions
that were sent to the Governor would not help, they did have some
effect on the legislative procedures.
The Mayor asked the City Attorney and members of Council if they
wished to speak.
The City Attorney reported that the Berkshire Garden suit filed
by Mr. Koval has been withdrawn and dismissed, and the Sebring
Associates suit is in the process of being dropped.
Mr. Stein said we were successful in petitioning the Governor
regarding the taxes, and 1.1 million dollars of the increase in our
budget was the result of the Bergen County Utility Authority for the

sewers. It's time we and other municipalitites who use BCUA put
pressure on them for their accountability.
