In a recent Nutley Town Council meeting, members passed several resolutions and addressed community concerns and programs. Notably, the council recognized Women’s History Month, calling upon citizens to observe International Women’s Day, and approved a resolution celebrating the 109th birthday of the naval reserves. Additionally, the council authorized tax and fee refunds, addressed the temporary budget, appointed a Special Law Enforcement Officer, and approved community event permits and raffle applications. The council also moved to discuss contract negotiations and litigation in a closed executive session before adjournment.

The council’s passage of Resolution 4524 to support and celebrate Women’s History Month stands out as an event. Mayor Scarpelli led the council in acknowledging the importance of observing National Women’s History Month in March 2024 and the global observance of International Women’s Day.

Another resolution, number 4424, was unanimously passed to honor the naval reserves on their 109th birthday. This resolution commemorates the dedication and sacrifices of naval reserve veterans.

The council also addressed fiscal responsibilities by authorizing refunds for overpaid property taxes and permit fees to Sun Power Corporation Systems.

In administrative actions, the council appointed Joseph Castellano as a Special Law Enforcement Officer III, a move that contributes to the town’s public safety efforts. Additionally, there was a change order for the recycling and vegetation waste removal contract with Eseri and Sons.

Community programs and events were also a focal point of the meeting. Social affair permits for the Friends of the Phoenix Foundation, the committee to reelect Alons Petco, and the Nutley Rotary Club’s annual car show were approved, highlighting the council’s support for local organizations and community engagement.

Commissioner Evans announced the availability of New Jersey senior freeze program applications for 2023, with increased income levels that could enable more households to benefit from the program.

Public safety was addressed as Commissioner PCO informed the public about the second neighborhood watch meeting and encouraged residents to participate in the program through the Police Department. This initiative is part of the council’s broader strategy to enhance community security and foster collaboration between residents and law enforcement.

Commissioner Kelly highlighted upcoming events for Heart Health Month and Women’s History Month, including health-focused activities and networking opportunities for women.

Raffle applications from the Nutley Youth Baseball Club and the Nutley Music Boosters Association were approved, further illustrating the council’s endorsement of local groups and their fundraising efforts.

The meeting concluded with the council moving into a closed executive session to discuss confidential matters such as contract negotiations and litigation, reflecting standard procedure for handling sensitive topics. A motion to adjourn followed the executive session, with the entire meeting lasting until approximately 7:26 p.m.
