please stand to the flag. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
All righty. I am going to review the agenda. Next we have um an introduction of a couple ordinances. The first one is something that we do every year. It is um to establish a c a capfank and exceed
the municipal budget appropriation of 2.5. Do you want to um talk about that a little bit, Allison? Sure. So, every year the budget the overall budget is allowed to increase inside caps appropriations by 2.5%. By putting this ordinance through, it
allows us to go up an additional 1% if necessary, which would bring us to 3.5%. And establishing a cap bank is just anytime uh unexpended appropriations are existing, you are able to bank them for
years to follow to allow you to increase the appropriation limit above. Perfect. Thank you very much. We um have two other land use ordinances. So when we have our our land use uh meetings, our committee meetings, we have our engineer in there and we have our code
official in there and we talk about um just different nuances that come up. One of the things we talk about and there was just something in our ordinance that we thought that may not just work for Allenale, you know, anymore. So what was happening is that our accessory
structures have a sideyard setback of only six feet. And that's fine if it's a small little shed or a garage, but people were starting to build very large twostory garages that were literally on top of like the next person's house. And since it was considered an accessory
structure, it could it only had to have a sixoot setback. So imagine like a you know a 20 something foot structure only 6 ft from your property line. So because of this new trend, we are changing one of the ordinances that the distance of
the height has to equal the distance of the setback. The second um ordinance that we're changing is we discovered that in our land use board meetings, the actual land use board different than the committee committee is um a lot of
people are coming when they're not even changing their impervious coverage. they're just maybe going up, but because there's more square footage, it actually also increases the sideyard. So, it's a variable sideyard and it just really wasn't making sense. And we were
actually approving them all anyway. U but they do have to bring in their lawyers, they have to bring in their planners and it's a lot of money. So, we're here to help facilitate our residents, not to give them a hard time. So, um, we we changed we tweaked that
which was, uh, also, uh, very similar what other towns were doing. Anything to add? Um, Council Delawisio point out too with the, um, the additional structures. Once again, just to reiterate, these are not even with
how large they've become for residents to live in. These are not they are, you know, additional structures. They're not to be lived in. And I think that's to be that's in our code already, but it's probably a good note to make sure that you
know that gets stressed again. Um, okay. Next is our consent agenda. These are matters that are considered routine. They're enacted in one motion. I will just pull out a couple to highlight. Um, we have um, well, we have this all the time is our emergency temporary budget
appropriations. This is money um that we can use before our budget will get approved and we're actually introduc to introducing our operating budget this evening. Um we have our fees for the Crestwood Cruisers coming in already. Another change order for the concession
stand which we um are hoping is moving on. We have our recycling um ecycle that we're going to put a new dumpster at the recycle center. So hopefully we'll be getting some fees for that. What did I say it wrong? No. happy. Oh, you're just
happy member there. Um, all right. And then of course, uh, another new business under new business resolution 25-113 is the introduction to our 2025 budget, which is in really, really good shape thanks to our
CFO. Um, all right. I'd like to open up the meeting now to the public on anything on the agenda. Come on up, Walter. State your name, please, and your address for the record.
Hamilton. Uh, you'll have to excuse my age. I'm I'm a little dense. You're not dense. You're sharp as attack. Come on. Would you take a moment to try this? Sure. Um, an accessory structure is like a
shed or a garage. And historically, they've been one story or pool cabanas. Pool cabana, shed, garage. So, the sideyard of your So, say here's your your garage and this is your property
line. It because it's an accessory structure, it it only has to be six feet from the property line to your to the new to the neighbor, right? Yeah. But norm historically they've been small but people now are building these big cabanas and these big garages and so
they're towing there's anything wrong with that house itself. No not the house itself. These are additional secondary buildings on the property. Do we have another ordinance relative to the house itself? Of course. Yes. Yes. You explain
that. That's all our building code. Well, it's existing. It's existing. Side setbacks are are part of our code whether it's you know 40 feet from the side or 25. It's usually it's usually like 50 from the curb from the front and then it depends on the size of your home
for the other ones. How high you and the district you're in you can go to 30 35 ft is our height for all of the zones. There's different zones and different zones have different sideyard setbacks. Some are larger than others.
Zones down. tracks A and double A. Sounds like a question. That was a good question. Anything else? Okay, got it. Good. Anybody else from the public like to speak on agenda items only,
please? Not seeing anyone. All right. So, first I'm going to um have Doy read Ordinance 25-05. Please read our intro to

I'll keep it brief. Uh this evening, you and I last night attended the Allenale Recreation Commission meeting. uh Barry and Chief Dylan as well. Um it was a very uh engaging meeting. We discussed a variety of topics including field fields uh the past winter sports season which
went very well for basketball uh spring sports. Um I'm sure Councilman Dallas is here will talk a little bit more about the fields of preparation. So I won't steal your thunder on that. But uh our relationship with ARC especially over the past year has always been great but you know the mayor and I started attending their monthly meetings um in
order to keep those lines of communication open. So again, great meeting, covered a lot of topics, and um they're very happy with our partnership and I I see that continuing for for the long term. So Councilman Oul, thank you, Mayor. Uh quick report the public safety committee
has not met since our last council meeting, but we're looking at April 8th for our next gathering. Uh I reported on my last report that we'll be swearing in one officer in April and a second when he finished the academy. still be swearing in one officer in April, but we hope to have a second candidate swear in
the future. Uh, and finally, today was the third time that we hosted the Gary Letsia Memorial Blood Drive at the firehouse. I stopped there between work and here. Uh, the turnout seemed to be pretty good for the short time that I was there. Thank you to Walter Andy for coming out, donating as always. Thanks
to Suzanne for the effort. I turned away your veins. I thought about making sure uh Dr. Philadelphia just texted me the final number for today. We collected 34 units of pole blood. So 34 units has the potential to save 150 lives. So a
heartfelt thank you to all came out donated today including my daughter literally 30 seconds ago just texted me a picture of her plugged in over there. Okay. That's all. Thank you. All right. Thank you very much. Counciloman Solo. Yeah. I
just want to second Matt's um comments. It's such a great thing that our um community shows up for and I think we're up to like 30 pints by the time we left there today. Great. Um and I was talking to Matt's friend Matt who organizes all of this and um he has some great
suggestions going forward on how to advertise it even more. So um it was great. I could not give because little note to anyone who looking to give blood, you have to be symptom free of anything when you walk in there and me still coughing from this prolonged cold that I had was like they're like you
can't you can't give. So um it was great. Uh you know there's some great things on the agenda tonight of which uh the finance team and the land use team um had a hand in. Um not the least of which and the most important of which I think is introducing our budget. So
Alison, once again, thank you for everything that you and our finance team does. Um, it's looking good. Um, also the uh the um dumpster the that's going to be down at um the recycling center uh for
e-waste is a big deal. Um it doesn't cost the burrow anything. In fact, we get money for it. So Andy, thank you for your help with all that. Mark, I know you're a champion of this as well. So this is just really great news. Um, and then land use wise, I mean, once
again, this is just another way that I think the burrow constantly is re-evaluating things and addressing things and and you know, Joe was a part of it for a while as well and Tyler is on our land use board and um, we really do try and um, make things as easy on
our residents as we can while also making sure that our environment is is safe and and fair for everyone. Um, so that's about it. U next land use board meeting will be in um agent in three weeks and finance
we're cruising along. Excellent. Thank you very much. Councilman Delawareio. Thank you mayor. Uh I have a very short report. Uh I was on vacation two weeks ago. So we uh DPW committee has not met. We actually have a meeting tomorrow
morning as you know. Um but I know I spoke to Andy a couple times. You know guys been busy just filling potholes where they can. Uh we are going to discuss timing so we can start going assessing our roads so we can start getting the program together to resurface like we have years ago and get
that program back up and running. I know the guys are frantically working to get our fields and Crestwood ready for use as the nice weather is here. So I know Andy has a nice report. He's going to give a little update and uh that's pretty much all I have right now.
Excellent. All right, staff reports. We'll start with um Allison. Hi. Um so I guess I'll just focus on a little summary of the budget. Uh so this year's budget is reflecting an estimated 3.4%
decrease in the total tax rate which is estimated at 2.034. We're showing a very small increase of only.54% in municipal taxes on the average home which equates to about $22 a home. So that's always good news. Um
we were very successful in 2024 with generating additional revenues which has definitely had a huge impact on allowing us to continue to decrease the tax rate. Some of the revenues that increased was our cell tower revenue which increased
more than 50% now that we own our cell tower, municipal pork feeds and sewer revenue. Um, we also have in the budget uh the funds that we got from the PK litigation which is being utilized to get put into our capital fund to be used
for future capital projects. On the expenditure side, we were we made sure as always that we're fiscally responsible in 2025. Unfortunately, there are some things we can't control. The largest increase to our budget you'll see is health insurance. you
know, that's not something we can control, but we did our best to work around it. Um, and for the most part, our items did not increase. A lot of our larger expenditures that we see every year either stayed the same or did go down a hair. So, the overall outlook on
the budget is definitely one to be proud of. I think we're in a really good place considering everything that's been going on. Um, and I'd like to thank the mayor and finance committee, Councilwoman Lo. Um, we've worked really hard over the last year to begin projecting our
budgets years in advance and I think this budget just goes to show how successful we've been because we've been prepared for everything that's come our way. Um, we've already started today, we had a couple of meetings reassessing some expenditures that we currently have in the bureau to see if we can get them
lowered for next year. So, we're constantly looking for different ways to help our taxpayers. Yep. Um, and then the last little side note that I'd like to mention, which the mayor can add to because I might not have the facts right, but a couple of years ago, the
burrow applied for a grant to help with the community center project. Um, the mayor is the one initiated what, two years ago? Over two years ago, over two years ago, she initiated getting a grant for the community center and it was extremely
cumbersome. the documents, the back and forth getting approved and getting denied, and it wound up having to be a team effort to get this to really get going. And, you know, we sat down one day about a year ago, and she's like, you know, we both need to do this. And countless emails, countless phone calls,
back and forth, in and out, and different people, too. And we'd get some leeway of staff, you know, you'd be emailing one person and then a month goes by, somebody else emails you. But after a year of diligently working on
this grant, I am happy to say that last week we received $750,000 in grant funds to be applied to the community center project. We are much more efficient than it it's uh it it was definitely a
team effort. Actually, it was probably long ago because longer than two years because Michelle Ryan is um is the one who I was writing it with. So, um but thank you. Yeah, it was. And I couldn't I don't know if I would have had the bandwidth to to take it to that home
that home stretch because it was really getting very very frustrating. So, um Yeah. So, that really There was no counting on the money at one point. No, it it was and if it wasn't so much money, we would have probably just threw our hands up. It was that crazy. But we did get it. So, that's good news in 2026
and uh 2025 that we got that. So, it'll help 2026 when we have to start looking at our capital funding because it's a decent amount of money that's going to lower it. Thank you very much. Okay. um our clerk, Linda. Um just regarding uh
elections, um April 16th is the deadline to change your party affiliation and uh May 20th is the last day to register to vote to vote in the um primary election and we will be open, our offices will be open until 9:00 p.m.
that day. Super. Daddy, do you have anything to report? Also, on May 20th, we have the satellite clerk coming in to the community center. Oh, that's right. and they will be providing um passport applications with photos on
site. They can swear in notary oaths, um free photo cards for seniors, veterans, and exempt firefighters. And yes, we'll be having more. Excellent. Thank you very much. Alrighty, Chief of Police Mike
Dylan. Thank you, Madam Mayor. It's a busy time at the police department. We're getting ready for a reacredititation assessment in early May. Our school programs are in full swing and we are showing success with the arrive program. That's the program that places a mental health provider in our headquarters to respond to residents
in need of ongoing psychological assistance. And uh special thank you to Allison who is always attended to our needs at the police department and willing to work out solutions to any budget challenges. I break her. Zoe, the budget challenges, aren't
there? Is that it? Yes. Thank you very much. DPW Superintendent Auntie Galiera. Thank you, Mayor. Um, DPW has been quite busy lately. Um, we've been prepping the fields to for opening day on April 6th. Um, we've been preparing Crestwood Lake
for the Memorial Day opening. Um, the concession stand is moving along nicely. if anybody's been uh out there and impressed with lately. Um there is now an e-waste container at the recycling center. Like everybody said earlier, um I just want to thank uh Carrie Nasi, our
recycling coordinator, and Kim Malivery for both of their hard work with the project. It'll be a great addition to our recycling center. Um and lastly, the roof at the Red Barn at Crestwood has been uh fixed and new gutters have been great. Not even in that. Excellent. All
right. Um Ry with our burough attorney. Thank you, mayor. In addition to ordinances and resolutions on tonight's agenda, I think the uh summary report is water, sewer negotiation, litigation. That uh that basically covers the last two weeks since our meeting. a lot of
discussions involving uh um sewer and sewer related matters uh water matters uh with Violia with homeowners uh and also with some uh developers uh let's say in an adjacent community. Thank you. Very very nicely said. Um okay, I will
give my report. We had our first of four town halls um this past week and we had um I think 55 people there which is amazing because we probably don't have 55 people in all of our council meetings combined. Um but we we laid out our 2025
um strategy goals and plans and we'll have that out for the community to take a look at. Every council person got to talk and answer questions about each one of their committees. So it went over really well. Um of course we have the budget tonight. Um Allison explained it. Um we're really really happy that we're
able to offer our municipal portion at under 1%. Um it's pretty much unheard of these days with the cost of everything going up. But um we we are we are very conservative. We look at every single line item. We just we we spend wisely.
We spend your tax dollars wisely. And that is the most important u message to get across. If there is money out there grants, we will go for it. It is free money. It's nuts not to take it. So, we apply for every single grant. Um um Council Councilman Yakarino talked about
prior meetings, we are going to be doing the tennis courts instead of doing them this year. We're waiting another year so we could actually apply for another grant to put towards it to get at least uh more than 50% of it funded. So, um that's what we do. And today also, we
had two meetings that also are potentially going to save the taxpayer money. One was a fiber optic meeting and we had Jim Coban on who is our um IT vendor and talked about um a grant that the county actually received and is
passing on to municipalities. So it looks like we're going to save a little bit of money and then have faster speed and less traffic on our lines. This is why we needed a lot of questions. Yeah.
So, uh bottom line is uh we can actually cancel our uh Verizon subscription and our optimum subscription and it's actually um double double the amount of speed or double the amount of capacity uh for less for less money. So, it's really a it was a no-brainer. The second
meeting that we had was actually with our insurance agency and this is something that we are have to discuss a little bit more internally and we're going to run some numbers but also seemed uh too good to be true where um we could potentially save money with our
insurance. So as Allison mentioned the insurance went up 17% this year. I think the year before it was like 20some percent. So, it's something that is called a difference card. And um I'm not going to explain it in detail because we will roll it out if we're going to, but
it's just just illustrating that we look at everything and look at all different ways that we can that we can save money. And then as she also mentioned the S cell tower. Um I'm just super super stoked that we did our research and that we actually own the cell tower now
because we're making incredible revenue and there's not a lot of opportunity to make revenue in a municipality. So I'm really happy about that. Uh we had a ribbon cutting today for another new establishment in town called uh Morning Morning Bloom. I've called it so many
different names. Call it Spring Bloom. Morning Bloom. Um Eddie Velli, who also owns Allenale Steakhouse in Mezoluna, opened up his third restaurant and it was delicious. We actually had lunch there today and it was really good. So we wish him well and we'll definitely be
going back. Um Fair Share Housing, we had another uh call this week. There is so many facets that are going on with the Fair Share Housing. Um, we have a letter that is going to a memo that's going to be going out to the community that's
going to try to hopefully explain it a little bit better, but we've been dealing with different lawyers and all different facets of it. Um, it is definitely going to be challenging. It's one of the more challenging things that we're dealing with as a municipality, but we're, you know, everybody else is.
It It's uh something that is mandated by the state and um just doesn't make a lot of sense if uh if you lay it all out there, but it's something that we do have to do. So, we are complying as we always have and trying to do it the best way that we can and the smartest way that we
can. Okie do. Let's see what else. Oh, the I just want to mention the community center really quickly. Um it's going really well. I really want to thank um Amanda for for stepping up and um learning and growing and tweaking along
the way. And we're still doing that. So, it is um it is a work in progress, but everybody absolutely loves it. It is filled all the time. And um we're going to start as as Die mentioned, we're going to start trying to host some free
community events. So, the first one is uh something that Bergen County is offering where it was the passport. um another um Allenale resident reached out to me and wants to do a service for uh providing or giving information on providing um wills like how to write
your will or what you should do for your wills and things like that. So I think that would be another great community service. So um so that's about it. We went to the ARC meeting, talked about that and done with my report. All
right. So, for any unfinished business, anybody forget anything? So, for new business, we have resolution 25-113. Allison did a great job of describing it. Um, do we want to open it up actually to
the public? I think we should probably open up to the public. Does anybody want to come up and um have any questions about resolution 25-113, the introduction to our municipal budget? and
then Walterwood Hamilton. Uh I'm here in behalf of my neighbor. I'm not going to tell you his name because he didn't give me permission. He has objected to the fact that his his kids have been playing in
town play areas. They've not had the ability. You use the facility to go to a bathroom. Well, I'm sorry. What facility? Because it's not the community center because we have about 25 stalls in
there. Well, apparently many of them were not available for them to use. He needs to come in and talk in the community center. In the community center. No, no, no, no. The bathroom. Walter, if if they're going to Crestwood or going over by the
ball fields, there are Porter Johns out throughout the area. They're always open. They're clean. Oh, I Oh, you're talking about outdoors. The bathrooms at the Red Barn are closed because of the weather field. the the one at the um the Grandstand Field
that's closed, but there are um Porter John's throughout Westwood Lake, throughout the Red Barn, and also by the Grandstand that are there that are always open. Walter, they're closed in the winter so the pipes don't burst. So, they're going to be open in another week. So, what we do is we put portaotties there in the winter time for
people. Well, on his behalf, I object to what's happening. I don't want to talk about that. next time. Love you, Walter. Thank you. Tell him to come in with you.
Tell him to come in next time. You can't be You can't be giving You can call any time and ask or call Andy. You didn't get bored today. I have this cough. So, they wouldn't take me. I filled out that whole stupid, you know, questionnaire thing you have to do and then I go to the, you know, and they wouldn't let me
do it. So, I have no sticker. My husband gave them. Okay. Um, do you have another question, Walter? Walter, do you have another question? Walter shut it off. The m the It's the mics. I know. We We'll have to talk
about that. I was listening to the reports and half ago I could not hear because of the hum. Okay. We We are going to look into fix but it's a big project. So, we have to redo all of this. We have We can't because it's the
microphones. I can hear you speak. Well, I'm speaking on that. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Peace. I'd like to open the meeting up to the public on anything. Any um anybody from the public like to come up? Come on up.
Hello. Welcome back. Yeah. Just can you state your name, please, and your address? My name is M Michael Gal. I live at 21 Oakwood. Thank you. What can I do for you? I am
Michael Gal at Brookside student. I am here to ask the council to address an issue. Okay. The water fountain that is attached to snack stand is broken. The school bought a new one.
But it is sitting inside the snack stand and needs to be installed. The school maintenance team cannot install it. It must be done by the town employee because this is town property.
The student at Brookside Jordan PE class and Allenale children draw town sports are asking about it because they need water when they are playing. This is important especially with the summer
coming. True. I am asking you to please install the water fountain soon. I have pictures for you to see the condition of the broken water fountain. Okay. I'd love to see the pictures and I'm going to have
our DPW superintendent Andy at Google at Google um answer the question for you. So today we removed the old one off the wall and I had a contractor there today look at it and I'm going to have another contractor there tomorrow to look at it
as well so we can get proposals to install it and it'll be installed very soon. I promise you that. Yeah. Okay. All right. High five. Excellent. Good job, Michael. Thank you. Thank you. High five. Yeah, you left them hanging. All right. Anybody else from the public
wish to speak? Come on up. You're the only one left. Might as well say something. Might as well for laugh. Mark Savano22 Breland Place. Um and I just want to say again how pleased I am that we have that electronics collection
now at the recycle center and also Andy mentioned that there's going to be collection of metal as well so that people can bring that material which is very convenient. I I happen to have quite a bit. So that's helpful to me.
Um I wanted to mention the success of our last EPS collection styrofoam that we've collected between Ramsey and Allenale. Between our two collections, we had another 600 cubic feet of material.
Excellent. Yeah. And um we needed to make different arrangements because it's beginning to get tough to work with Ridgefield Park. So I reached out to Sean Hamlin in Rididgewood and he agreed to allow us to bring the material there
and they have a collection container. I think it's probably a 40ft container that was completely empty and when we were done delivering it was completely full. So, we continue to be one of the top
collectors of anywhere in Bergen County, Allenale, as small as we are. We need to put that little blurb in the newsletter about that. Say that. Yeah. Yeah. It uh I'm proud of the efforts that uh the citizens are making. I'm thankful for
your assistance and uh also um our green team that does a lot of work to keep these collections going. Um so the uh the three towns that are participating in the program now Ramsey, Upper Saddle
River and Allenale we've completed the first cycle of three months of collection and um I did start to publish the ongoing schedule so that the residents of town know that every month there will be a collection in one of
those three towns. Super. Yeah. I just wanted to share that information with you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anybody else from the public wish to speak? Oh, you came right just under. We're just about to adjourn. Uh Bruce Rossler,
40 Maker Avenue, just rolled in from New England. Ah. Um I sorry I didn't get her on time, but I was uh talking to Amy and I was asking if you would consider uh the fence ordinance. Mhm. Uh perhaps
making that six foot instead of five at the very least the sideyard and rear rear yard. So that was one thing. Uh I think you need to consider deer fencing for the public and also for farmland
assessed property because I need some kind of relief. Um and I would ask that you consider that strongly. And I'd also ask about the setbacks. That's very sensitive to us. For my own self-erving interest, you
know, if you do come up with deer fencing, possibly for pharmacess property, maybe that could be different for setbacks and whatnot as opposed to homeowners because we we really can't coexist with the deer anymore.
So, that's really Yeah. Know, we were just talking about how in land use we've been, you know, altering. We look at things.
