ORDINANCES (Previously presented) Ord. # 1549 - Final Reading - AN AMENDMENT TO AN ORDINANCE TO FIX THE COMPENSATION OF CERTAIN OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE BOROUGH OF GLEN ROCK, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY. 6. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: (Before speaking at the meeting, each person must state their name and address. 5 minute limit) Michael Zislis – 48 Diamond Court – Mr. Zislis commented that the borough has taken considerable time (two months) to determine if he needs a permit for a retaining wall on his property. Originally Mr. Zislis contacted the town to find out if he needed a retaining wall and was told this was not under their jurisdiction, due to the proximity of the brook, and should contact the County. The County stated no permit was required and work could commence. Next the Police were called and, per the Administrator’s instructions, was told to stop the work. Lenora commented she has spoken to Mr. Zislis several times. After considerable run-around Lenora was able to reach someone at DEP and was told a permit was indeed necessary, that’s when the Police were asked to stop the work. If any work touches the water a permit is necessary. Mr. Zislis claims he spoke with DEP and they told him he did not need a permit. Council member Orseck suggested whomever Mr. Zislis spoke with at DEP send something in writing. Mayor van Keuren commented he will confer with the Borough Engineer and respond as soon as possible back to Mr. Zislis. Mary Henninger – Thornbury Avenue – Mrs. Henninger asked Council member McCullough is he knew how many seniors have signed up for the recycling program. Mr. McCullough replied there have been ten. Mrs. Henninger asked for an update on the building renovation and pending move. Lenora commented the Police hope to move July 1st and the borough office 2-3 weeks after that. On September 27th the League of Municipalities will be conducting a Clean Energy conference and Mrs. Henninger asked if anyone from Glen Rock would be attending. Mayor van Keuren stated he believes there would be a conference along those lines in northern Bergen. Clean Energy is certainly on the agenda for the building renovation and a high priority for the town.  Jim Seaton – Ferndale Avenue – Mr. Seaton commented he was shocked to here the town is considering putting a “plastic” field in town for $600,000. Mayor van Keuren clarified this project is in the early stages and the discussion is being held by the Recreation Advisory Board. Mr. Seaton commented that one of the reasons the municipal building is in the condition it is is because for thirty years the town has been catering to every self-serving group and their luxuries. Necessities should be taken care of first. Council member Orseck commented that the turf field discussion is in the very preliminary stages with the Recreation Advisory Board (which is made up primarily of volunteers). Council member added that there are 1,100 children in just the baseball program. It is the intent of the RAB to raise the money through fundraising for the field, nor has the site been determined.  7. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Council member McCullough Seconded by Council member Orseck Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m. _____________________________ Jacqueline Scalia, Borough Clerk
