RESOLUTION #98 OFFERED BY: MECCA SECONDED BY: STEIN
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council of the City of Hackensack, in
the County of Bergen and State of New Jersey are keenly aware of
the severe financial burdens now borne by the citizens to provide
funding for �ecessary governmental services; and
WHEREAS, providing for police and fire protection is a
necessary element of governmental services; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Council subscribe to the principle
that police and fire personnel are entitled to fair and
I
reasonable compensation for their services; and
WHEREAS, under the provision of N.J.S.A. 34:13A-16, et seq.,
collective bargaining efforts between municipalities including
the City of Hackensack and their public safety employees are
conducted under the ominous shadow of compulsory interest binding
arbitration: and
WHEREAS, history and experience have revealed that the
current law, as presently administered, has had the practical
effect of imposing essentially coerced settlements upon the
communities without providing any avenue for practical
alternative relief; and
WHEREAS, the principal factor utilized in such forced
settlements is reliance upon alleged comparables without any
realistic weight being accorded to the remaining statutory
criteria which are to be considered; and
WHEREAS, the present implementation of the Act places
impermissible weight and reliance upon "comparability" with like
employment in other communities while essentially ignoring the
legislative mandate to consider several other factors,
especially:
I
"The interest and welfare of the Public" and "The financial
impact upon the governing unit, its residents and taxpayers"
N.J.S.A. 34:13A-16g (1) . (6) ; and
WHEREAS, the result of this artificial bargaining
environment is an essentially unrelenting succession of ever
increasing compensation increases which will, if continued, soon
bring public safety compensation to an unconscionable level: and
WHEREAS, the communities of Bergen County are strictly
constrain ed by operation of the state imposed municipal budget
cap, which forces the governing bodies to reduce services and
compensat ion in other areas so as to provide funding for the
artificial and inflationary compensation increases which are now
essentially mandated as a result of the present collective
bargaining system: and
WHEREAS, presently pending before the New Jersey Assembly,
is proposed legislation, namely Senate 1643 and Assembly Bills
A-336: A-836 and A-1059, which, would reform the compulsory
arbitration system in various beneficial ways: and
WHEREAS, The Mayor and Council deem it to be in the best
I
interest of the citizens of the City of Hackensack and the public
throughout Bergen county, that this legislation be adopted:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of
the City of Hackensack in the County of Bergen, State of New
Jersey as follows:
1. That the Mayor and the City Council, of the City of
Hackensack hereby formally expresses support for the legislation
currently pending before the Legislature, namely Senate 1643 and
Assembly bills A-336, A-836, and A-1059, which taken together
will restore a measure of balance to the compulsory arbitration
system by fairly mandating greater recognition by arbitrators of
the public interest.
2. That Governor James J. Florio, the Senate and Assembly
of the State of New Jersey should be and they are hereby
petitioned to take immediate action to support, adopt and
implement the pending legislation reforming the compulsory
arbitration process in an effort to introduce reality into the
compensation of public safety employees consistent with
reasonableness and the economic situation of the involved
communities and the taxpaying public.
I
3. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution
be transmitted to Governor James J. Florio, and the State
Legislature.

Mayor Zisa opened the meeting to the public for discussion
of City business.
Bill Hines, 30 Ross Avenue asked if taxes are not paid can
one apply for permits to work on their property.
Mayor Zisa replied that applications can be filed.
The City Attorney added that in the event one would have to
go before the Planning Board or Zoning Board, it could be a
condition, but we do not have a law that would ·prevent one from
getting a permit because of non-payment of taxes."
Mr. Hines stated Champion Garage at 16 2 Linden Street does
not have plumbing and the repaving of the street is being held up
because of this and his taxes have not been paid.
Joseph Lascala, asked why he could not get a tax bill when
its due. It was explained that we could not get a tax rate until
the budget is adotpted.
Jack Donovan, Willow Avenue, again discussed having Council
Meetings televised. He still feels the City Council should give
this serious consideration.

taxpayers who do not have cable.
Deputy Mayor Robinson said she heard that televising City
Council Meetings has helped those municipalites that have it.

crossing will be done prior to the Anderson Street Improvement.
