you mayor and council for having us here to make this presentation tonight. Something we've been wanting to do for a while. And um I'd like to just let you know a little bit about the World of Community Alliance. was formed in 2005
as a nonprofit organization with a purpose to beautify downtown area and restore the amazing historic railroad station. In 2016, Bergen County Historic and Cultural Affairs Office awarded recognition to WCA for excellence in
historic restoration. WCA members along with other volunteers continue supporting this area as a center of community activities. The railroad station has been home to the Waldo Museum of Local History and is
a centerpiece of one of the most wellattended auto shows in New Jersey. It has presented outstanding exhibits including a thread through time, the immigrant experience, trains, planes, and automobiles,
worldw, Revolution 250. Its permanent collection of military and local artifact displays makes this place a treasure for our community and visitors. WCA's museum team invites anyone who
truly wishes to participate in what we call the future of history and interact with people who have a passion for all of this and all the community stands for. So that said, the Walder Community Alliance and I would
like to have Chuck come up here please and other members of the Walder Community Alliance. Mr. Chuck, would you come up? I am I'm ambushing him.
And of course, Lisa and yes, any members of World of Community Alliance. Um, we'd like to bestow a momento of our Htown's history and memories in
appreciation to each of our vitally important organizations, including the Waldup Fire Department. I'd like someone to come up from the fire department. Okay. And the Wald Volunteer Ambulance Corps, which are here. Where? There you
are. Yep. Oh, yeah. Lucas. Hi. And Mr. Frankino, come on up. Come on down. And um Yes. And the world police department, if anyone is here. Oh, Troy. Okay. All right. Anyway. Okay.
Each of the history boards we'd like to give to you also comes with a QR tag and uh that will link to each of your organization's um websites and how to get involved with your organization and volunteer. And so we have these history
boards. You may place them wherever you wish to place them. And what I'd like to do is just if I can get a photo with everyone and uh Mr. Mayor, can I have one with you too? And anyone else that would like to come on?
>> Terrific. Thank you. May I go ahead and take a picture? I'm gonna put this right here forward here. >> Yes, absolutely. >> They're beautiful. >> Wow. He's >> on

camera. Okay. If I can see it. Okay. Look at me. And let's do one little from over here. Look this way. And I think we got it. >> Thank you. [Applause]
Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Right behind me. All kinds of things. Okay. Okay. Okay, our committees, financial administrative committee, Councilman Richie, >> you Mr. Mayor. Just good evening
everyone. Just want to spend a minute talking a little bit about something that got brought up at the at the end of the last council meeting as it relates to pilots and we'll talk a little bit more about it in new business. But, you know, we haven't actually been asked um from the development project at Harrison
A whether or not we're going to negotiate a pilot. But I just wanted to talk a little bit about the numbers since it it hits, you know, to the budget and our budget's under some severe pressure at the moment with a deficit and uh we're decreasing our surplus every year. So, if you look down
at Harrison A, uh at the corner of Prospect and Harrison, there's a vacant lot. If you go down Harrison A, I think there's five properties. The burrow, I would say the entire town currently collects about 67,000 a year in taxes from all of those those properties. I
think the burrow itself, which we all represent, take in about 12,000. The school will take about 75% of that. The the county will take about five. So that's 67,000. Now, any development, I would say any developer that comes in expects a pilot.
um especially if it's the first project in town. What that means is rather than paying taxes, they pay uh the town a share of the revenue that they make. So pilots tend to run from 10% of revenue to 15% of revenue, you can do that as a
progressive 10% to 15% as time goes on. Um, if you look at if we were really bad at negotiating, right, and we negotiated only a 10% pilot for the development that's coming in, assuming those apartments go for 3500 a year, which
who's paying 3500 um 3,500 a month rather for for an apartment, which is very low, and and the retail that's there. You know, we're looking at north of 200,000 in new revenue in new taxation for the town just on that development alone. So, we could put it
to referendum. We could decide not to offer a pilot and maybe they'll walk away, but we would give up 140,000 in taxation for a town which is I think really struggling financially. So, I would just urge everyone to kind of educate themselves on the advantages,
not just the disadvantages of pilots. I would urge all of us to meet with the board of ed. I would urge all of us to meet with the Chamber of Commerce. I would urge all of us to ask everyone to have a seat at the table and ask how can we bring new tax revenue into the town to help our budget rather than push it
out. And uh that's my report for this evening. Mayor, thank you. >> Thank you very much. Fire and police protection committee Councilman Renick. >> Mr. Mayor, I have nothing to report tonight. >> Okay. Thank you. Public safety committee councilman Sarah Colola Drake. >> Thank you, Mayor Walc would like to
thank the burrow and Tatiana for the invite to the last meeting slash chief mener's sendoff. A few standbys that they were at include the no kings day support for the police department and the ragmuffin parade. Thank you. >> Thank you. Recreation and health committee. Councilman Montelo.
>> Uh no report this evening, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. >> Public Works Committee. Councilman Rundo. >> Uh no report this evening, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. >> Building and grounds committee. Councilman Weber. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um don't have much
of a report this evening. Uh the uh Lions Park is still going ahead as planned. They should have that done wrapped up by the end of the month and uh I don't know if we were still having some issues with the garage door wall back, but I think that seems looks like they it's worked itself out. >> Uh we have a meeting on site tomorrow,
Lucas, myself and Mike to talk about the proposals that we received and what the next step is. >> Okay. Excellent. Thank you. That's all I have, Mr. Mayor. >> Thank you, our administrator. >> Thank you, Mayor. I wanted to uh take a few minutes this evening to provide an
update that we received from H2M who is the water engineer that we uh that the burrow brought on board earlier this year to do a hydraulic study. Um I know there's uh it's you know it's it's it's a process and there are a lot of
components to that process and so I asked them to provide us with an update that I could share with you this evening. Uh we will start um as of May 13th of this year the following has been done to date. Uh so H2M worked with the
water department and Neil systems they are our SCADA contractor to access system data to calibrate the model. On July 30th of this year, uh there was the public presentation to provide an update on assessment of the water quality issues and the preparation of the
hydraulic model uh which was wellreceived and uh well attended. SCADA data became available midepptember uh H2M uh assisted with the data download uh and on October 9th uh and
they were provided to the H2M team to complete their hydraulic model. So again, our uh water department maintains data that comes into the system and so the effort uh has been made to get that info to H2M obviously as part of the
bigger picture. Model calibration is being finalized and the draft report is being prepared. Uh as you might remember that was the outcome of what uh the contract that the bureau went into with H2M. That draft report is uh ready for
internal review as of the week uh as of week December as of December 1st and then that report will be sent to the bureau to be reviewed and finalized. Preliminary flushing plan uh is being established for the water department so
that our fall flushing can be completed and that is being discussed with our water department this week. And then a final public presentation of the findings and future planning will follow the report finalization and that is uh I know many residents are anxiously
awaiting that uh all of us are and so that is just a few uh updates on where we are with that program. Thank you. >> Thank you Burl Clark. >> Thank you mayor. Um, I would just like to thank our um amazing special uh super board workers and our board workers for
an outstanding job um on election day. Uh the polls are very busy and they were very well organized and ready to go. Um I also wanted to thank Melissa from my office, DPW and PD for their assistance with the election. Um it's a long day for Melissa and I. Uh we get here around
4:30 uh to make sure the polling locations are open and that the superboard workers have all of their election materials and we end the day when the superboard workers and the board workers bring all the election returns back to us and we execute the chain of custody for the police department to bring the returns to the
county. So it's a really long day but it went really well. Uh just some figures from this election. Um, in Bergen County overall, 338,335 votes were cast out of 672,163 registered voters or 50.3%.
Um, early voting saw 67,77 votes, mailin ballots 53,392 votes, and provisionals 5,10. Um, in Waldwick, uh, 4,671 votes were cast or 60.15% of the total
number of registered voters here in Waldwick. Um, I also want to talk a little bit about the food drive that took place on um, Saturday, November the 8th, and to thank all the residents who donated food and gift cards for our emergency food drive. Um, so many
residents came by that we had to take three loads directly to Families for Families that day. So, I wanted to thank Steve Weber, of course, and Mary Kersh for also driving uh loads to uh families for families. And thank you again to
everybody who donated. Um also, I wanted to thank all the volunteers who came forward um to to volunteer and to help unload the vehicles and then load the van with the donations. Um we did have a lot of students, which was nice. Um and they were extremely helpful and I am working on their service letters um and
shout out to to them shortly. the 2026 calendar. The work continues on that. Uh Melissa's our lead on this and she's doing an amazing job. Uh the calendar should be to the printer hopefully by Thanksgiving. Um I'm working on the 2026 reorganization meeting resolutions. Uh

>> Thank you. Do we have a motion in a second to accept? >> Motion by motion by Andy. Second by Mark. Anyone have a question? Clerk, take the role, please. >> Mr. Bradock, >> yes. >> Miss Sarakri, >> yes. >> Mr. Martinella, >> yes. >> Mr. Roundo,
>> yes. >> Mr. Richie, >> yes. >> Mrs. Weber, >> yes. >> Okay. We have two uh introductions of ordinances. I think we're going to pull the first one if not the second. >> Correct. Correct. >> And then the second one becomes 23. >> Will become 23. Yes. >> Okay. Would the clerk kindly read
ordinance number 2025-23? >> Ordinance number 2025-23. uh an ordinance to amend chapter 64 of the code of the burrow of Waldick entitled parks adding that all dogs must remain leashed within a park.
The motion and second is in order to pass this ordinance on first reading and that it be advertised on local legal newspapers required by law setting a public hearing two weeks from tonight's meeting at 7:30 p.m. or soon thereafter as the matter may be reached. Motion in a second. Motion by Michelle, second by
Mark. Anyone have a question on this? What this is is that we looked through our code book and we found out that we don't have anything pertaining to dogs being on a leash of we've had some, you know, people complaining that dogs are running around doing things that they're not supposed to do on the lawn. The
little children are afraid of the dog not being on a leash. So, what we're doing is to protect everybody. We're passing this ordinance. >> Anyone else? Nope. Clerk, please take the role. >> Sure. Mr. Bren, >> yes. >> Miss Sarah Kadri, >> yes. >> Mr. Martinella.
>> Yes. >> Mr. Raando. >> Yes. >> Mr. Richie? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Weber? >> Yes. >> Okay. Any unfinished business from the council? >> Yes. Thank you. Um I was wondering when the last water committee meeting was for the members that were appointed to that
committee. >> Uh so the committee began when the hydraulic study was uh agreement was signed. We had a few initial meetings. We have had internal meetings uh with H2M which include Kelly, myself,
Colleen, and Mike Lour. So, we met as recent as last week with Karen Benson of of H2M to talk about the progress and obviously the transition the past month and a half bringing everybody up to speed and on the same page with uh you know what they've been doing and what the next steps are.
>> Yeah, I believe the mayor appointed council members also. Has that entire committee met recently? Because obviously this water is a very important issue to meet. We didn't meet. What we did was they decided that they would have the people here in the building take care of all that stuff and then once we have to meet we'll meet at a
whole as a whole council. But uh as our administrator said she met with Colleen, with Kelly and with Michael. >> Okay. And I you may have mentioned this in your report earlier, but the broader town hall which was promised in the summer to be in person, when would that
be scheduled for? So they're reporting that once that final report is given to us, then we can set the date. So their internal review is the week of December 1st and then they'll send it over to us to review and then we can set a date together with them. The hydraulic model takes uh you
you want to make sure that your hydraulic model takes into account preferably up to a year of data because you want to at different times the system is experiencing different pressures and different usage. So, you want to have a significant amount of data that covers all of those, let's
say, seasons throughout the year. Um, so certainly, um, they're on track with with what they've been doing. The, uh, anticipated meeting, I guess, uh, prior to me was suggested that the fall would be the best time, but as of September, they had downloaded our SKA system. So,
they need that information in order to have a full presentation. >> Okay. Maybe just a suggestion. and we can put this out to the residents because I've had so many people asking me and honestly I don't even know the answer. So I know people wanted to come in in person and voice their concerns. So if we could maybe put something out that this is the status, this is the
timeline and why it's taken so long kind of ease their uh concerns. >> Absolutely. We can share that update that I received today. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else? >> Nope. Any new business from the council? >> I have some new business. >> Yes. >> Yes. So, following up on the last meeting where we talked about uh
referendum for the potential pilot, you know, I've I've had a lot of questions uh from residents mayor. Why are you recusing yourself from the conversation on Harrison AB? It's a it's a big project. It's a central part of town. You are the mayor. Um to not participate
in that is has raised some some questions. >> I would have to concur with the attorney on that. >> You can't answer why you're not participating. the attorney. >> Have you ever met with the developers or their attorneys or finance years prior to us? You're not going to answer any questions on on
>> I haven't haven't. >> You will not. You've never met with them? >> No. >> Never. >> No. >> Okay. And do you think that it's appropriate that you recuse yourself from the conversations but then recommend that a pilot be put to referendum for that exact exact project?
So, you're recusing yourself on one side but then deciding to jump in on another. You're not going to answer. I'm sorry. You're not You're not allowed to answer. My attorney >> You're not allowed to answer anything. >> Okay. You know what? I don't want to hear from the attorney. I would like to
hear from you. >> You're not going to answer. >> You could open me and then it'll go to the attorney and then the attorney will give you your answer. Am I correct to say that, sir? >> Uh just by way of clarification, the the the choice to to recuse himself is uh is the mayor's decision and once he's made
that decision, he is not required by law to disclose those reasons. He can do so if he so chooses. He is not required. Uh >> but you've never met with them before. >> No. >> No. Okay. >> Nope. >> Thank you. >> Well, I met with one person. That's why I had to recruit myself. I was forced to meet with them. But that's that's
>> you were forced to meet with them. >> Well, I know where you're going with this. >> I really for me to start talking about why I recuse myself might make a big damper on if you want to do a pilot program or not. I'm just asking question I want to just stay what we could do is
we could meet with our attorney Craig Bazong >> or Anna and she could sit down. >> You have met with them. >> I'm sorry. >> So you have met with the developers? >> No. >> Nope. >> You said you just said you did. >> What happened is two years ago or well four years ago we had a uh a meeting. It
was with Patrick uh uh what's his name? Patrick Weary uh a developer their attorney. attorney and they discuss about a a plan for that area at which time this happens a lot. They meet with the mayor, the administrator and then
what we do is we tell the people we'll come back and talk to the the council about this. What happened was it never got that far because when we met we decided the project that they wanted at the time was not feasible for the town and that's the last time I met with any
developers about that area. the new developers here. I never met >> the >> I know who you never met with the the DMR folks in town. >> No. >> Okay. >> I met DMR when he was here first time. >> Any other new business?
>> Public. Open to the public. Anybody from public would like to comment, just come up. Just state your name, please. No address for our records. >> Hi, my name is Nadia Lepino. I live at 92 Rididgewald AB Waldick, New Jersey. Uh Mr. Mr. Mayor, I have a question for you directly because I want to address last council meeting, you publicly asked
residents to not believe social media regarding posts that were about you and that they should come to you directly. Correct. Okay. Excellent. Less than 24 hours after that or 48 hours after that, you sent an email to residents plus it was publicly posted on Facebook
discrediting or basically alleging that I committed or was involved in election misconduct. This was clearly a lie and you had my name clearly outlined in your email so we know it was about me. My questions are three-fold. So I had the comment and then my question. Can you explain to me on why you chose to make a
public accusation rather than address it with me directly despite asking residents to do the opposite as it pertains to you? What is the justification or the criteria rather that you can use to justify this difference? It seems a little bit of a hypocr hypocritical because you had just asked residents less than 24 hours to
come to you directly. you and I had never had a conversation. And then my last question is regarding residents who choose to step up and put themselves out there to serve regardless of political party are now going to expect or can they expect rather to be publicly defamed without direct communication
from you as again you and I never had a conversation. >> Well, first of all, I know why you're here and why you're saying this. >> No, you don't. >> It's all well and good. >> Okay, that's fair. But I'm asking on behalf of the public as well. I I have a right to do whatever I I have a right like anyone else does have a right to
voice my opinions on who I would like to >> Facebook. >> I'm sorry, sir. >> Not put on Facebook. >> Well, I I did that. But I'm not complaining about what you're saying about me on Facebook. >> I never said anything about you on Facebook. >> Yes, you did. >> No, there's nothing about me that I said
to you during that time period on Facebook. >> I don't want to get you involved. >> No. >> No, there is nothing. I know you're here tonight to just come after me and attack. >> You're damn straight. >> You're damn straight. We're out to get you. That's right. Go >> ahead.
>> Because you're a liar. You're a phony. You're crap. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. You deserve it. >> Thank you. >> Because you remember this lady. >> Oh, yeah. >> You had coffee with her. What' you tell? >> I didn't have coffee with her. >> You did. You had coffee with her. >> I had coffee.
>> Yes, you did. I'm so pissed off the microphone. Please, folks, folks, just a brief come up to the microphone. >> Just a brief point of order. >> I'm so pissed off right now. Sir, sir, sir, please. Just a brief point of order. We would love to hear from everybody in the public. Everybody in
the room has has uh their right to speak. We would just ask that if you do so, you approach um the podium in an orderly fashion and address your comments to the to to the entire council. Thank you. >> You all know who I am. I don't have to introduce myself. I am so livid right now as to what
happened through this campaign. It was malignant. And we went, me and my running mate, we had to fight against two parties. One was the Democrat party and what I consider to be the Rhino Party.
Okay. He's right. >> This man over here who's supposedly the mayor had established protocols in conduct when you ran a campaign. He broke them all.
Broke them all. And he sits there like a little Mussolini telling people how to run their lives. He basically has never listened to his constituency.
He he gives them lip service when he lets them talk to them and then he does whatever the hell he wants and you know it and you can't refute it. >> I'm not that woman over there is my
wife. >> I know. >> And you invited her to coffee. >> I didn't invite her for coffee. >> Yes, you did. You want her to come up here and straighten you out? >> I could. No one has come up here and straighten you out, >> sir. Do you want her to come up here and straighten you out?
>> Sir, can you please no show some decor? >> I am fine how I am >> because I'm so pissed off at how things were run in this town. I held it in for so long, eight months.
You can ask I call them my teammates. I was calm. I went to every door in this town to represent our platform. You've done nothing different than any other person who has ran. Don't sit up there
complaining that you are not. Sir, can we please direct your comments to the council, sir? If you could basically speak. >> So, basically, we ran our campaign as clean as possible. If not, if not crystal clear, then we get bombarded by
this man over here regarding crap, making accusations, lying. Okay? And by the way, my wife had coffee with him and he said, "Well, you know what?
Your husband is making a big mistake." Why? Because he's going to split the Republican party. >> I never said anything like that. That is exactly what you're saying. >> No, you did. No, I didn't. And first of Well, you could I'm sorry. You can continue your conversation. >> So then he said, "Hey, by the way,
you know what? Have him run." But he nobody has to vote for his running mate. Let's run it like that. If you want witness witness a right over there. Okay. So, what do you think
anyone's going to think about when they have to run in this town and have to represent a platform and then have cra be crapped on? Okay, it's garbage. This man is hated throughout the town.
Everybody hates him. >> That is not true. That is absolutely >> absolutely true. >> I'll tell you something. I'll say this. >> That is not true. >> I'll say something. Majority of the people The majority of the people in this town hate that man. >> The majority of the the majority of the
people in this town hate it. I am right cuz I talked to a lot of people. >> Not enough. >> Really? >> Well, I said a majority. >> No, you said everyone. Sorry. >> Okay, great. Everyone. Majority. Whatever you want. Now, the idea is this. Things have to be straightened out in
this town. We had this platform. I thought it was a fantastic way to approach everything. Okay, it was honest and we went to everybody about it. But there was a split and there was a
trashing of people. That's the worst part of it. The loss. Okay, we take it as it is. But we were trashed on. Okay. And that's garbage.
Not for a town. Do you understand that? We were trashed on. That's really crap. >> Anyone else? >> Yes. I want to say something, too. >> My name is Frank Gerno. I live in this
town almost 60 years, and I never seen anything like this in my life. Also, the water. We can't even open the water. Every time I open the water, it turns brown. Even my cat doesn't even want to drink the water. We have to give a bottle of water. I mean, the tax is getting getting crazy because there's no
there's no revenues in this town. And if they don't pass that darn thing down where we the plane that we have that right now that um Prospect Street and the other it looks like we're downtown Patterson. That's what it looks like.
Exactly like Patterson. >> So now you're insulting Patterson. >> No, I didn't insult Patterson. I mean, they're looking like I said, >> who are you? None of your business. >> And also, your concern, >> folks. Folks, if we could please just address all the comments to the council and again, if you'd like to speak, we'd
be more than happy to give everybody in the room a chance to speak. Just please do so um in an orderly fashion at the podium and uh when it's your turn. Thank you. >> And also, when we pass in White Avenue, this that thing smells so bad, it's unbelievable. You can even you can't even stand the smell. And it's been
going on for years and years and years and nobody's doing anything about it. Nobody. I mean, come on. Let's do something about it. Let's like like uh Trump said, make America beautiful. Let's make Walt beautiful and fix it up. And you know, that way we all can live
in, our kids can live in, our grandkids can live in, and everybody else instead of just, you know, accuse one another. Let's make the town beautiful. And what that's what we need. >> Thank you, sir. Anyone
else? >> If not, we go we're going to be going into close session. Do I have a motion to go into close? >> Motion by Andy, second by Mark. All those in favor? >> Do you have something to say? >> Oh, did that gentleman want to say
something? I'm sorry. >> Hello everyone out there. My name is Robert. I live on West Prospect Street. I've lived here for one year. I just have uh one question on West Prospect Street. I see you put a sign or a little
thing that says speed limit 25 miles an hour. There are a lot of children playing after school. I live there and I'm watching the cars are coming down like crazy. Could you put a speed bump or at least do look into it? Like near
Lakewood Drive, you start because when even after the high school games, okay, we win, everyone's happy. They're going down there like crazy. And like I said, many of my neighbors, they're afraid to put their kids in the front yard because again, the cars are coming down a little too fast. So, I'm just asking, can you
do a study or something? I'm glad you put the sign there. It's really not working. So, maybe we could do some speed bumps. I'll share your feedback with the police department and we'll continue to look at that area. >> Okay. Thank you so much. >> Is there anybody on the TV?
No questions. >> No questions. >> So now we going to close and we'll be coming out. No decisions being made. No. >> Okay.
