see that the sign of winter has passed. We see new life budding from trees, from the ground, and we see what a wonderful work that you're continuing to do. You are loving. You are good. You're gracious. Thank you for creating us and sustaining
us day by day. Thank you that you made us in your image to exist in community with other people. We thank you for our town of Woff. We thank you for elected officials, the businesses, institutions, schools,
the houses of worship, the families and the individuals that make our town the great place that it is. We especially thank you this year as we celebrate the centennial. We thank you for many who have served this town and created this beautiful artwork that we
understand to be white. May you continue to look favorably upon our town as we look to celebrate your faithfulness in the many years to come. God, we thank you for civil government. We thank you for their willingness to say yes to the calling and use their
gifts for the benefit of society. I pray that our civil servants would acknowledge this calling and perform it faithfully. Be with our judges, attorneys, volunteer first responders, and law enforcement. Grant that they would never neglect or abuse their authority, but that they would stand
firm for truth and justice. Keep them safe from harm as they continue to serve our community. I pray especially for the meeting tonight. Give our council members wisdom and guidance as they deliberate on the items before them. And may every

I have a roll call, please. >> Miss Bugdansky >> here. >> Mr. Bonstra >> here. >> Mr. Melion >> here. >> Mr. Shepard >> here. >> And Mayor Lane >> here. >> Uh Nancy, please confirm that the township committee has reviewed and signed all vouches for payment and the mayor and municipal clerk have signed
any necessary documents. >> They have, Mr. Mayor. >> Great. Can I have a motion to open the public open to the public for 20 minute commentary, please? >> Motion. >> Second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? There being none, the meeting is now open to the public for
any comments or concerns that you may have being residents of White. First, we're going to invite uh two of our girls scouts up to talk about the project that you've done. Uh if
Cavaleri would please >> I'm sorry, >> you want to do it during public. Never mind. Disregard. >> Yes. Yeah, we already discussed it. Uh if you come to the microphone, please. Uh if you need to lower that, it's fine. >> Yeah, obviously. >> There you go. >> Okay, that's okay. >> That'll do it. Great. Please let us know
what your what your project was. >> Um so my project had to do with like sustainability and being able um to be active even if you don't live in the best neighborhood or the safest environment. So my goal was to create something where kids were able to stay
active either inside their homes or close to homes like a driveway or sidewalk. um because not all parks are accessible and it's not always safe to go on walks where you live. So what I did is I made an Amazon wish list of a bunch of reusable items and toys. So it
was like foam footballs, like the skip game that you put around your ankle, hula hoops, pretty much anything that you could reuse cuz you know part of Girl Scouts is always like reusing things and we don't want to create any waste. So, which also allows the kids to use this to summers to come in all
different seasons and it not to get old or ruined. So once I was able to collect all these items, um I made um like a kind of like a bin of them and had a day where I partnered with Families for Families where luckily my mom works
which was really nice and I was able to um go during the family picnic and set up my own stand where the not only the clients of families for families were able to take some of these items but also people that were at Gufflebrook Park in Hawthorne. So it was really nice
because it was able to expand past just families for families and expand to um the residents of Hawthorne and whoever else was attending the park. So there I taught the kids how to use like different ways they could use these items other than just hula hooping or throwing the football, different games
they could play. And um at my stand I also had um cards and on my cards were social media accounts that I made where I would post um kind of uh cost-free ways to like of things you can do different ways to utilize certain
resources and um there were things like a YouTube channel where I did stretching, I did exercises also other fun games that you could play with these toys. So um it was just another way to help my project stay sustainable. And then after the event where people were
able to take these items, I actually had a lot left over because people were very um generous with their donations luckily. So I was able to implement my project at Families for Families and have a special space designated where my
items still are because it's also used as a food pantry and a lot of times um parents will come with their kids and their kids wait outside. So, it was really nice because this stand was right where you wait and check in at the food pantry and kids are still able to take items and it's an ongoing drive that now
stands there. >> Wow, that's really >> It's good. It's good to have connections. Is that connection here? >> Yeah, it was a good connection, but I still wanted it to be something independent from like families or families and truly be my own project. >> Yeah. Not only that, it looks as though because of that, you were able to get it
to kids that really need it. >> Yeah, >> that's a wonderful thing. >> Thank you. YEAH. Now we're going to have Emily Elizabeth Rollola come on up. Hi Emily. How are you? >> I'm good. How are you? >> I'm living the dream.
Um, so for my gold hoard project, I really wanted to focus on um, bringing awareness about hygiene um, especially in homeless people because they're homeless, so they don't really have access to like things that we have like showers and like running water to brush their teeth and like for women menstrual
products. So for my project, I held drives and I collected hygiene like personal hygiene items like soap, shampoo, body wash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, like everything that you
would need like to to keep your personal hygiene good. And I packed them. I packed over a hundred bags each with like probably 10 10 hygiene items in and I donated them to Families for Families
and I also donated them to a woman named Mary Scoffield from Franklin Lakes. She has her own like independent um organization called I Matter and she personally goes to Patterson and like hands out items to homeless people and yeah that was pretty much it.
>> THAT'S REALLY GOOD. CONGRATULATIONS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER uh comments uh with regard to any other subject that anybody may have at this time? >> No. Okay. With that, if I can have a motion to close the meeting for the public
>> second. >> All those in favor say. >> Any opposed? Now, let's take some pictures. You guys can come on out by you. And you will be receiving a letter from the town uh officially shortly after
this. >> Oh, thank you. >> Oh, okay. >> Oh, cool. >> Why don't you get in the middle? >> You're the center of attention. All right. Show all of those desks that
>> now I just want to tell the truth. >> Thank you. >> Now we have an official one and then we'll get get everybody to come on up. Okay. Anybody please >> that'll What about you, guy? What about you,
too? >> Behind the scenes. >> You're behind the scenes. >> We got one. >> Thank you. >> Look for it on the website. >> Thank you so much.
>> Thank you so much. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> We've been growing like crazy. So, it's great. We'll stay in action. >> Very well. Good. Well, good ladies. >> Hi. How are you?
>> You can move on up now if you like. >> I need Thank you so much. >> Monday. >> That's good. >> Thank you. All right.
>> Thank you. >> Okay, >> Matt. May we have a review of the business agenda, please? >> Thank you. Good evening everyone. So on resolutions uh the first off is uh
in adopting the Bergen County uh multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan. This is uh an amendment to our emergency operations plan which is required by the federal staff act and the national flood insurance act. Uh it's a resolution uh that has to be
passed uh once and then if there's any amendments at the county level, we do not need to uh pass that. There are two resolutions on the agenda having to do with the street fair. The first is awarding a contract uh for the street fair amusements to Horizon
Entertainment and attractions. That's for the ferris wheel. And the second is a EOS contract for the fireworks. Um I'm going to come back to a couple resolutions in a moment. Uh first off on ordinances is 2078. 2078 is the
ordinance that we tabled at the last meeting uh with regard to the honorary and commemorative street sign designation program. Um the only amendment since our last meeting is that the uh fee uh associated with an
application is um $250. Um, ordinance 2080 is an ordinance um, which renews our lease agreement with the PTO economy shop uh, for another 5 years. Uh, as you know, we own that property.
Uh, and then going back, I slip skipped over a couple. There are several resolutions and ordinances having to deal with the municipal budget for 2025 uh, 2026. Uh, the first three items are housekeeping items that I'm going to mention. The first is authorizing the uh budget to be introduced by title only.
Uh second is uh authorizing self-examination of the municipal budget which means every three uh two out of every three years a municipality as long as they have adopt they have uh a certified CFO they've uh completed their
uh debt statement and their financial statement on time. They've submitted their user-friendly bud budget in the year before. They have no over expenditures. Um and um they are fiscally stable in the eyes of the director of local government services
are permitted to review their budget internally and not have to go through a thorough review. That does not mean the state division doesn't look at our budget because we'll send it down to them tomorrow and probably about 10 o'clock on the day we're going to adopt, we'll get a letter from them telling us
about two or three things that we need to submit to them in order to get clearance to adopt. Um those are the two uh resolutions on consent. Uh the ordinance on consent is an ordinance which uh authorizes us to uh exceed the municip municipal budget
appropriation limits and to establish a cap bank for for cap bank purposes. This is not uh a savings account. It truly is just a bank uh on the appropriations cap. So anything that we don't use this year uh we can bank to a future year on
that two on that two to three and a half% appropriations cap. And then the final resolution is on non-consent and that is the actual introduc introduction of the 2026 municipal budget. And I'll leave uh the uh explanation of that to our next uh to our adoption meeting
which will be the first meeting in May. Um and any other comments the finance committee uh wants to uh say on that. However, I do want to thank the finance committee and all our department heads for their uh work on this. This was not an easy budget. It's not an easy budget
um year for anybody. Um but uh we worked through it and I appreciate everyone's uh help with that. Some updates. Uh we have now been one month into our highdeductible difference card HR program uh to help lower our
cost for health insurance. We've had no major hiccups in the month of March. Knock on wood. And hopefully that continues uh going forward. We are currently in the open enrollment period for Delta Dental. Uh that uh contract year starts May 1st. We have been able to offer a new plan this year with a
$2,000 deductible. In the past, we only were able to offer a,500. Those employees can elect to contribute to uh those forms are due in finance by Monday. And just a note that Delta uh sorry, all dental plans for the employees are fully funded by the employees. So there's no t the the
taxpayers don't pay for that. Um, starting about this Friday, the next round of street lamps will be refurbished throughout the town. The same vendor who completed the last two rounds will be completing the job again. 40 polls were done in 2024, 32 and 25,
and 33 this year. This year, uh, we are focusing on Madison A. We have one pole left, the poles on Main Street, and the poles in this complex. DPW has also been working to install new light posts uh in the triangle across the street from the ambulance core where the sidewalk was put in and the grass
was put where the trees came down. Um we've submitted our grant closeout to the state DCA for the memorial field uh restroom facility. Two weeks ago, myself and the grant writer from Bruno Associates met with Senator Booker's office to explain our projects that we
submitted for congressional spending. Um, that was a virtual call. Sore bills have been mailed. First half bills are due on May 1st. Reminder that the post office recently changed their postmark procedures and uh they no longer postmark items the day they are retrieved from the mailboxes, but the
next day. Uh, so just remember that. Uh, but it really doesn't matter for tax and sore purposes as much as it does for election purposes because tax and sore purposes, they still always had to be received here by the 10th day. Um, a contractor for Rockland Electric
Company recently completed a uh lighting upgrade at our DPW garage. Uh, this is through a state grant program. Uh, manufacturers rebate and incentives. The total cost to the township is $0. Uh, we are just looking into I believe we have uh we're going to be probably
contracting with them to do work in the ladder back room. Also, those are lights are the only ones really in the building that haven't been replaced yet. Boswell is currently moving forward with the engineering required for the replacement of the drainage culvert under the YMCA driveway. Uh this is required so that we can have a shovel
ready program if we are selected to get congressional directed spending or so we have our engineer estimate for funding for the project next year. The county's contractor has started the concrete work on Whiteoff A and Godwin A project the repaving program.
We're waiting on a start date from Smith Sandi on the RLins project which includes the pedest the Spring Meadow pedestrian improvements. The court office renovations were comp substantially complete and our first court session back here in three months was uh happened last Wednesday. Uh the I
do want to uh express uh the judge's thanks to the township committee for getting that job done. Um staff met this week to uh review what changes we believe are necessary to the tree ordinance now that we've had over a year of registrations and permits
issued. Uh and we'll be putting forth amendments at the next meeting for review. Uh Nancy, how many tree contractors registered last year? >> 50 no 48 I think. >> 48. Just shy of 50 tree contractors registered in town last year. And just remember that the reason we put that
tree contractor registration program in was really to protect the homeowners and to protect the assets that the homeowners have and that we have on our streets. Making sure that our that the contractors that are working in the town um the tree contractors that are working in the town have the proper insurance.
The deadline has passed to register your dog for 2026 without a late fee. Uh we do have 860 dogs registered uh and licensed so far and the late fee is $15. As of the end of March, the clerk's office has received and processed 157
OPER requests. That was the end of March. We're on the 7th day of April, and we're at we're at 180. So, team up to tidy up will be Saturday, April 25th. Registration is 8:30 a.m. here in town hall. One time per month, vegetative waste
collection has resumed. Refer to the calendar for your assigned route and pickup day. Anybody who missed our first round of spring leaf pickup can put it out at the curb next Wednesday. >> No, by Sunday evening. >> By this Sunday, this upcoming Sunday for
collection next week. Sorry about that. Um, Congressman Godheimer's staff will be holding his office out will be holding office hours here this Friday from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Uh, the last day to register to vote for the upcoming primary election is Tuesday, May 12th, and the clerk's
office will be open till 9:00 p.m. that evening to assist those with registrations. Um, we do have an appointment on the agenda for a new member of the Shade Tree Commission. And I do want to announce that we have a new Shade Tree chairman. >> Yes, >> Dan Krian. Correct. >> Correct. Correct.
>> All right. >> Uh we have received the $22,500 contribution towards the new lacrosse wall practice area from the YMCA. Um an amended lease agreement uh with regard that includes that uh practice area into the Polish field lease agreement uh will
be presented at a future meeting. We're just uh finalizing some details on it. So, at a future meeting, the council or the township committee will be recetoerson and place-to-lace liquor license changes. So, in 2023, there was a law
that was put in place that prevented licenses from being pocketed for more than two consecutive terms. So, we have a family that owns two retail distribution licenses. And in order to prevent the licenses from being
taken by the town, they are being sold from one family member to another, and they're being swapped from active to pocket so that they are not considered inactive. Um, >> it's a it's an acute way of getting around the law, but unfortunately, we
will still have one pocketed license. So, the license that's currently active will go into pocket and be owned by the other family member. And the pocket that's currently inactive will go active and be owned by the operator of the store. >> And along with that, I guess goes a change of address for the license that's
becoming active. >> Uh, place to place one will go place. I got it. >> They're both going person to person and one is also going place to person. >> Okay. Um, and finally, the Centennial Street Fair will be held on Main Street Saturday, June 27th from 11:00 to 4:00,
followed by live music and fireworks beginning at 6 p.m. on Memorial Field. Vendors looking to sign up for the street fair and people looking to help sponsor the day can reach out to Denise in the town hall and refer to our website. A special e-news will be going out this week, probably on Thursday,
Wednesday, Friday. Uh, specifically having to deal with the details of sponsorships and signing up. Um, that's in addition to our regular e- newsws that will go out on Thursday. >> And I believe I've covered everything. >> Thank you for that.
>> Mayor, I have a point of procedure. >> Okay. on um 2078 >> 208 >> the the the table motion. >> Yes. >> I think we need a motion to remove it from the table and put it on the agenda
for consideration. >> Okay. >> I think according to Robert's >> That's true. We do. >> That's correct. >> You want the motion now? >> Sure. >> I'll make the motion to remove it from the table and put it on the agenda so we can consider it. >> Okay. We would on put it on the consent agenda >> where for introduction.
>> Yeah. Yeah. On the consent. >> Yeah. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Okay. Roll call. Nancy. >> Miss Bdansky. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bonstra. >> Yes. >> Mr. Malcone. >> Yes. >> Mr. Shapper. >> Yes. >> And Mayor Lane. >> I.
>> With an affirmative vote. The motion is approved. >> Thanks. Anything else? >> Thank you. >> Mayor, may I ask a question? >> Sure. >> Um, for the street fair, is it rain or shine? >> Yes. And then even the ferris wheel too >> or is there like
>> so the event is rain or shine. Um I have to work out the details on the ferris wheel. >> Okay. >> But uh so as long as there's no lightning it can operate. >> Okay. >> Uh usually uh just depending on the operator. >> So we'll have a stipulation. >> Yeah. >> It'll be beautiful out there.
>> Yes, it will be. >> All right. Let's uh go to our township committee reports. May we'll start with you over there. We don't have much, but I since I wasn't here at the last meeting, I do want to um touch on the fire inspections that were held last month. So there are about five
inspectors um from a company that come in and inspect each fire company in Woff um from stand asking questions about standard operating procedures to checking equipment, making sure everything's to code and everything's up to par and not you know just pretty much
checking um everything that's in the um firehouse. Um everybody did a great job. I think they took about a month to do everything clean and check everything and um the outcome it was very close with Sikamac company number 31 um with
flying colors and all of them do great. Um all the inspectors have said that um Wyoff has one of the best volunteer fire companies that they've ever seen. Um so I just wanted to touch on that. They had a great inspection dinner to celebrate the day after at night um at the Indian
Trail Club. So it's really nice um to see them work together um even all the companies working together and celebrating. So that's all I have to report. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Uh just two things. Uh one I attended the Memorial Day parade meeting. I'll
let Pete probably give more details on that. That was on the 25th of March. And on the 26th of March, there was the uh Richard Water held a four town uh summit, if you will, on everything that's going on with Richard Water, all different towns, what what's progress
has been made, where they're going, what still has to happen, etc., etc. And I did tour the DPW building not too long ago and saw the new lights and it is much bright. It is much brighter in there than it ever was in the past. >> That's it. All right, Rudy. Oh, thank
you, mayor. Okay. Um, planning board meets tomorrow night at 7:30. Um, we will reconsider the fence application at the corner of Ellis and George. I don't know what's going to happen. It may be
memorialized as a um a a rejection. Um, we will also memorialize 358 Clinton Nav, which is a new dentist office where the um veterinary office used to be. And the Cedar Hill Shopping Center has request that their memorialization uh

things were covered. Library board met on um the 25th of last month of uh March, but it was business as usual. and last Wednesday I think I attended the partners in pride meeting. Um they're

hands I'm going to do a flower pot that's all I have mayor thank you >> thank you mayor I'll be brief since Matt took most of my report I was really about Sorry. But uh um I'm going to reserve
comments about the budget till we have our adoption of the budget the first meeting in May. Um but two things that Matt didn't cover about the centennial is and speaking about light polls. Um we will have special centennial banners that will be up this year along with our
annual tradition of our military banner. So, they'll be uh we'll have them um around town and they'll look even better on the new painted uh light post we have around town. And then next Wednesday, April 15th, there will be a volunteer meeting for the Centennial. Anyone that

Oh, wait. Sorry. Um, Memorial Day parade. Jim and I went. There's another meeting tomorrow. I've been on the parade committee since my first year. And, uh, it's, um, we want to thank our veterans along with Denise from town hall of BFW for putting this together
and planning is ongoing. Fortunately, a lot of it's almost like rinse and repeat at this point, but uh, we still have our meetings and we'll be finishing have some meetings going forward and our next one's tomorrow night. Do you just want to touch me on the uh the street sign piece you brought up at the at the
meeting? >> This for the VFW for the sign. You asked some of the people at the parade meeting to give us their thoughts. >> Oh, the for what we're doing tonight. >> Yeah. So, we brought I brought Jim and I brought the ordinance to the parade meeting uh just to run it by the BFW.
They all seemed that it was very appropriate for what we were doing with the different um levels of veterans that we would be honoring in it. Um that was their comments. They are having actually their official meeting tonight and they were going to take a little further more further review of it. But all the
initial feedback we got we were pretty much spot on with what um Matt Dave and May put together for the artist. Thanks for reminding me you guys. All good. >> Okay. I'm going to be very brief. I want I want to committee Melion to recognize
that briefness. Uh I just want to say that uh we have a lot of projects going on in town. Uh we hopefully uh should be have walking and marching on a brand new paved street at White A Memorial Day parade. All the curb work is being done.
It's going to be a lot of work done on God and the town's really going to look uh really sharp for our centennial. So that's that's all I have. David, your report, please. >> Yes. Uh you may recall that prior to our special meeting on March 12th, we had struck an agreement with Fair Share
about reducing the U density over 475 Lafia Avenue, that's the Abundant Life property, going up from eight dwelling units to six. Um they were in agreement with it, but it was a verbal agreement at the time. Uh they said they were too busy to I'd send them a a uh amendment
to our medi our mediation agreement, but I did send that on to them. They said it looks good. We just got it back signed. The mayor signed it yesterday in my office and I've uploaded it. So, it's part of the official court document. So, we do have that reduction over there on that property. I just want to let you
know it's finalized, taken care of, and we're in agreement with them on that. >> Every little bit helps. >> Mr. Mayor, I do have two final items. Sorry. >> Uh there was a request for curb your dog signs uh signs at the Larkin House. They are on order.
>> Oh, okay. and there was a failure of the generator on truck 241. Of course, the truck we're getting rid of later this year. Um, replacement of the generator would go somewhere between 12 and 15,000. Uh, we've uh been able to source a vendor
who can rebuild it uh at about $5,600. We filed an insurance claim. Our out of pocket will be 2500. The insurance will pay the rest. >> Good. two >> and the PO for that was cut today. >> Thank you. >> All right, we're going to move on to the
