Tenafly Borough Council Discusses Noise Concerns and Introduces New Police Ordinances
- Meeting Overview:
The Tenafly Borough Council meeting addressed noise concerns related to upcoming events and introduced three ordinances, including the addition of a Deputy Chief of Police position and amendments to police salaries. Public comments primarily focused on disturbances expected from FIFA events coinciding with church services, while council members introduced ordinances concerning police department roles and equipment.
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public concerns about noise from events scheduled for the same weekend as services at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Concerns were raised about potential disruptions from a FIFA-related gathering, which might conflict with church services due to noise and crowd control issues. It was clarified that the event was not directly associated with a local café, Cafe Angelique, but rather with a private entity planning an indoor exercise event. The council and other involved parties, including a local resident DJ, were in communication to address these concerns, with assurances that the FIFA game would likely start after church services concluded.
The council also introduced ordinance 26-9, proposing the creation of a Deputy Chief of Police position. Members discussed the ordinance, set for a hearing in July 2026. Additionally, ordinance 26-20 was introduced to amend police salaries for the years 2023 through 2026.
Furthermore, ordinance 26-21 was introduced to authorize the acquisition of a new sewer jetter vacuum machine for the Department of Public Works, with a budget of $600,000. This equipment aims to enhance municipal services, highlighting the council’s focus on infrastructure improvement.
