RESOLUTION TO PRESERVE GLEN ROCK’S TREE CANOPY
WHEREAS, the Borough of Glen Rock has been a Tree City USA since 1994 and prides itself as a beautiful, tree-lined community attracting residents, shoppers and businesses, and
WHEREAS, due to age, natural weather events, construction, clear cutting, disease, over-zealous pruning and tree topping by utility companies, and other factors, we have seen a decline in the shade tree stock in the Borough, and
WHEREAS, trees sustain our quality of life in many ways by helping to purify the air we breathe, stabilizing the soil, reducing storm water runoff, replenishing ground water supplies, helping to ease flooding, providing a buffer and screen against noise and pollutants, providing a haven for birds and other wildlife, mitigating ambient ground temperatures and air quality, conserving and enhancing the Borough’s physical appearance, and protecting and increasing property values, and
WHEREAS, there is a direct relationship between the preservation of the tree canopy in Glen Rock and the health, safety and welfare of residents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council direct the Borough Administrator to:
1. Create a Tree Fund, which will be funded through private donations, for the purposes of subsequently acquiring, planting and maintaining trees on public properties within the Borough
2. Take appropriate opportunities to educate residents on the benefits and health care of trees within our community
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor and Council urge every resident to do his/her part to encourage the planting, proper maintenance, and preservation of mature shade trees and to ensure the sustainability of our community for generations to come.

6. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: (Before speaking at the meeting, each person must state their name and address. 5 minute limit)
Neil Finn – Doremus Avenue – Mr. Finn thanked the Mayor and Council for the courtesies extended to the families of Frank Kozar and Anthony Ciaramella during their recent passing. Mr. Finn expressed deep concern over the rising taxes, primarily due to the Board of Education.
Council member Pazan commented that the Council will be meeting with the Board of Education as a whole on March 4th at which time this subject will again be addressed.
Andrew Brown – 31 Dean Street – Mr. Brown expressed a safety concern where there is no stop sign at Dean and S. Broad Street.
Mary Henninger – Thornbury Avenue – Mrs. Henninger asked for an update on the leaf removal (and odor) from the landfill. Lenora Benjamin stated the majority of the leaves have been removed. Council member Surrago commented that the problem stemmed from the tub grinder being a “shared” piece of equipment and Glen Rock not getting the equipment as often or as soon as required. Mrs. Henninger asked how the occasional shuttle-bus user can still use the bus. Lenora Benjamin stated there is a book of ten passes for $10 that is available for the occasional user.
Bill Brown – 675 Lincoln Avenue – Mr. Brown asked if resolution #5 (Fire Official) was an existing position. Mayor van Keuren stated this is just a new employee; the position has been in existence for years. Mr. Brown questioned the definition of sustainability and wondered where the term comes from.
Andrew Brown – Dean Street – Mr. Brown commented when the leaves are picked up in the fall there should be a cover over the rear of the truck to prevent leaves from flying out. Lenora Benjamin commented the majority of the trucks do have, and use, a tarp over the leaves.
Jim Seaton – Ferndale Avenue – Mr. Seaton commented even though it would be nice to be more environmentally friendly hybrid vehicles cost much more than a standard vehicle and the batteries are made overseas.
Leslie Kameny – Beech Road – Ms. Kameny clarified that the tree canopy is a term used to refer to the tree coverage in the borough. When the tree canopy shrinks then any environmental deficits become visible; i.e. cleaning the air, stormwater runoff.
Bill Brown – 675 Lincoln Avenue – Mr. Brown questioned if there is any truth to a request being made by a resident for the borough to purchase a piece of property which would alleviate his parking issues. Mayor van Keuren stated this body has not discussed that subject formally, or informally.
