Charges were added for Grant Writer under Administration and Professional Services. The Borough has been facing significant increases with insurance, health benefits and Sewer Authority charges and have been trying to find a balance. Included are a new DPW Clerk, Special Law Enforcement Officers, an additional Police Officer and a Part Time Records Clerk in the Police Department. Also included is a 15% increase to utility expenses. The goal is to work with the auditor and present the findings at the next meeting. Capital budget is also in good standing, and that will be sent to our Bond Counsel so that they can prepare those Ordinances. Council discussion ensued regarding the Board of Education Safety Committee, expansion of the traffic study and the volume going into this year’s budget. Mr. Neale invited CFO Colleen Ennis to present an update on the Borough’s fund balance. Mrs. Ennis reported that the auditors completed the Annual Financial Statement. At least 50% of their work is done during the AFS. The fund balance/surplus in 2009 was significantly lower. It has continued to grow over the years. 2023 was the first year that the Borough utilized more of the current fund than what was taken in for the prior year. The fund balance will run back down if continued at this pace. Fund balance is necessary in terms of cash flow for the Borough and helps to stabilize the tax rate. The water surplus is not as hefty as the current fund, but take note that any time there was surplus utilized, it was always less than the excess that was brought in. These numbers will be utilized in terms of finalizing the budget for this year. NEW BUSINESS Wyckoff/Brady Property Discussion: Mr. Neale feels confident that formal discussion can begin. There currently are no deadlines or strong commitments. He welcomed any ideas. Mr. Ramundo expressed that the Environmental Committee would be interested in providing help and support. He asked if we are able to find out if grant monies are available to do some of the work to utilize as open space versus housing. Mayor Giordano shared that the previous owners were ensured that the property would be utilized for parks purposes. He would like to see a Dog Park at this location. Mr. Martinello & Mrs. Cericola-Drake expressed support of open space. Mrs. Weber asked if Boswell Engineering has taken a walkthrough of the location for ideas. Mr. Neale responded that Boswell has had a walkthrough and noted wetlands on one side of the property which has been taken into consideration. REGULAR MEETING MINUTES: 7 MARCH 11, 2025 Volunteer Fire Department Stipends: Mr. Brennecke shared that the Volunteer Fire Department stipends has not been updated in 15 years. He proposed to increase their allowances. There is currently $25,000 allocated and he asked that it be doubled to $50,000. Discussion ensued and council members asked that WALVAC also be included. Mr. Neale stated that this would require an Ordinance change. Mr. Martinello asked Mr. Bossong to research any reporting requirements for the IRS. Mayor Giordano said that the 50-year members will still get a stipend. PUBLIC COMMENT Mayor Giordano asked if any member of the public wished to come forward and to discuss anything and if so, please state your name only for the record. Cassie Hartman expressed her excitement for the ZOOM Council meeting. She spoke to the topics of mailings for dog licensing, the responsibility of the engineers for the Water issues and social media postings.
