The meeting began with the certification of the election results from November 5, 2024. Lourdes Villasuso received the highest number of votes, followed by Ray Vorisek and newly elected member Talb Canan. As part of the democratic process, the board swore in these members to their positions, highlighting a peaceful transition of power and the importance of volunteerism in public service.

Following the swearing-in, the board proceeded to elect its leadership. Members nominated and voted for the positions of president and vice president, with both roles being filled without contention. The new president briefly addressed the board, expressing gratitude and pride in the work accomplished by the team.

Additionally, the meeting included the election of a liaison to the Reville Park Little Ferry Board of Education. This position was filled with unanimous support. The meeting also covered routine matters, such as adopting the code of ethics and approving the reorganization resolutions.

Public comments included well-wishes from a former board member, who expressed gratitude and encouraged the current board while reflecting on personal experiences and the supportive nature of the board during challenging times. This sentiment was echoed by others, recognizing the collaborative efforts and community engagement that have characterized the board’s recent initiatives, such as the successful referendum campaign last March.
