Overview: The Pompton Lakes Borough Council meeting on July 16, 2025, was marked by discussions on financial challenges, including a projected 37% increase in state health benefits premiums and the introduction of a new ordinance to update the title of police officers. The borough is grappling with a financial burden following the anticipated hike in health insurance costs, amounting to an additional $550,000 needed in the next year’s budget. This increase is expected to strain the borough’s finances, prompting the council to consider alternatives such as moving to a private insurance carrier or joining a health insurance fund. Ensuring these alternatives provide coverage equal to or better than current offerings is critical due to existing union agreements.
