The most notable outcome was the council’s decision to amend the water rates as per resolution 51-25. The 6% increase in consumption rates reflects adjustments in the borough’s fee schedule, aimed at ensuring the financial sustainability of water services while the flat rates remain the same. The decision was made without any noted opposition.

Another notable resolution was the approval of a shared service agreement with the township of Bloomfield, targeting social services collaboration. This agreement, as outlined in resolution 52-25, aims to enhance resource sharing and service delivery efficiency between the two municipalities.

Additionally, the council authorized the sale of surplus property, including a 2006 Ford F-150 and a 2012 Ford Escape, via the GovDeals auction platform. This decision, encapsulated in resolution 53-25, is part of ongoing efforts to manage municipal assets effectively.

Public safety measures were also addressed, with the annual Fourth of July fireworks display at the Glen Ridge Country Club receiving the green light under resolution 54-25. The council also sanctioned various fundraising events for local schools, such as raffles and casino nights, through resolution 55-25.

In terms of infrastructure, resolution 57-2 saw the council awarding a contract to Buc Tree Experts for the pruning of approximately 20% of trees in the borough.

The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of the Department of Public Works’ efforts in snow removal and preparations for upcoming weather conditions. Residents were reminded to comply with snow removal regulations, including the timely clearing of sidewalks to avoid fines. Additionally, a community engagement event, “Coffee with a Cop,” was announced, providing residents an opportunity to meet with local law enforcement.
