City Council

The Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Hackensack was held at City Hall, 65 Central Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, on Tuesday, May 8, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. Mayor Meneses called the meeting to order and City Clerk, Debra Heck, stated: “In accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act, Chapter 231, Laws of 1975, adequate notice of this meeting was provided by sending a notice to The Record and the County Seat and by posting a copy on the Bulletin Board in City Hall”. Mrs. Heck called the roll: Present – Mayor Jorge E. Meneses, Deputy Mayor Michael R. Melfi, Councilwoman Karen K. Sasso, Councilman John P. Labrosse, Councilman Marlin G. Townes, City Attorney Joseph C. Zisa and City Manager Stephen Lo Iacono. A motion was made by Councilwoman Sasso and seconded by Deputy Mayor Melfi to approve the minutes of the April 2, 2012 and April 3, 2012 meetings with corrections, with Deputy Mayor Melfi abstaining from approving the April 3, 2012 minutes due to his absence. A subsequent motion was made by Councilwoman Sasso and seconded by Councilman Townes to approve the minutes of the April 18, 2012 meeting. City Manager’s Report – Mr. Lo Iacono spoke about the annual report of the Health Department that has been distributed to the Council and said that it demonstrates that they are providing an incredible amount of services to the people of Hackensack. He also said that the State had been in for an audit and that they were incredibly impressed. Mr. Lo Iacono will be congratulating Mr. Christ on another good year. Mr. Lo Iacono said that he also wants to compliment John Niland, our Emergency Management Coordinator, as the City has been notified that all documents have been approved for expenses from Hurricane Irene and the Halloween snow storm. The amount approved for Irene is $357,796 and the snow storm is $174,953. Mr. Lo Iacono said that seventy-five percent of this money is guaranteed by FEMA but that the other twenty-five percent should come from the State emergency management budget, however for the last few disasters the State did not give municipalities their share. Mr. Lo Iacono said that he continues to receive monthly reports on community policing on Hudson Street and Anderson Street and that he has also received communications from business owners in both areas complementing the Police department for the work that has been done. He also said that effrort has shown results in both areas. At this point in the meeting, Mayor Meneses announced that he would be suspending the regular order of the meeting in order to honor William Smith, who saved someone in a car fire explosion. The proclamation presented to Mr. Smith read as follows: WHEREAS, on February 28, 2012, William Smith was inside of his place of employment at 504 Hudson Street, when he looked out the window and observed a vehicle stopped at a traffic light that had smoke coming out of it; and WHEREAS, William Smith immediately went outside and saw a person in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, later identified as Stanley Kowalski; and WHEREAS, William Smith went over to the vehicle and physically and forcefully pulled Mr. Kowalski out of the car and brought him over to a bus shelter, while Mr. Kowalski kept repeating “call the Fire Department”; and WHEREAS, while removing Mr. Kowalski from the vehicle, William Smith further observed approximately five oxygen bottles in the front seat of the vehicle with flames around them; and 5/8/12  WHEREAS, seconds later, the vehicle exploded and the oxygen bottles were expelled from the vehicle, causing damage to the nearby building; and WHEREAS, if not for the instantaneous and heroic efforts of William Smith, Mr. Kowalski would have been in his vehicle at the time of the explosion. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JORGE E. MENESES, Mayor of the City of Hackensack, with other members of the City Council, hereby commend William Smith for saving the life of Stanley Kowalski and for defusing an extremely hazardous situation.

Section 3. In addition to the salary ranges indicated, each employee will receive longevity pay of one percent (1%) for each two (2) years of service, computed on the amount of the base salary of the employee at the time he becomes eligible for such longevity payment. In order to qualify for such longevity pay, the employee must have earned each two (2) years service credit on or before January 4, March 31, June 30 or September 30, in order to receive the added one percent (1%) longevity pay for the ensuing quarters.

Additional compensation of any nature, including overtime, will not be considered in computing longevity payments. Longevity payments will be computed from the time the employee was last employed on a full time basis by the City. Leaves of absence without pay with the exception of employees on official leave of absence due to military duty will not be considered in determining the length of service. The above longevity formula is modified from 1% for each two (2) years of service to 2% for each four (4) years service for all personnel hired subsequent to December 1, 1987, as outlined in the Personnel Ordinance. Longevity shall be eliminated as to all employees hired in this unit after April 1, 1999. Section 4.

All employees shall be paid on a bi-weekly basis except for changes required on account of calendar year requirements. Section 9. All parts of ordinances inconsistent with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed as to such inconsistent parts, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize any salary decreases. This ordinance shall take effect after passage in the manner provided by law, except that any and all salary 5/8/12 increases shall in all respects be subject to any applicable provisions of the Civil Service Law of New Jersey. Section 10. If any section subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
