Parents Urge Township Council to Establish Class 3 Officer Program for School Security
Mark Ceino, representing St. Katherine of Sienna School parents, addressed the council regarding school security. He requested the establishment of a Class 3 Special Law Enforcement Officer (SLO) program to provide armed security for the school, as permitted by the Archdiocese of Newark. Currently, St. Katherine lacks on-site armed security, unlike other schools in the area, because Cedar Grove does not have a Class 3 program. Ceino highlighted that similar programs in neighboring municipalities (e.g., North Caldwell, Wyckoff, Kenilworth, Hillsdale) are fully funded by the schools with no taxpayer cost. He urged the council to consider establishing a similar framework with urgency, citing recent security incidents as reminders of the need for proactive measures. The school administration and the Archdiocese are supportive of the Class 3 program.
Township Council Introduces Ordinance for Taylor's Brook Riverbank Stabilization Funding
The council considered the introduction of Capital Ordinance 26-975, which appropriates $300,000 from the capital improvement fund for emergent repairs to Taylor's Brook. This ordinance also covers engineering costs for permitting and potential relocation of a telephone pole impacting 911 communications and power to the municipal building. The funds are allocated from the existing capital improvement fund balance of over $1.1 million.
Township Council Considers Amended Financial Agreements for 36 Cliffside Drive Development
The council considered the introduction of two pending ordinances related to the development at 36 Cliffside Drive. Ordinance 26-976 pertains to the execution of an amended financial agreement for 30 town homes, while Ordinance 26-977 covers an amended financial agreement for 317 rental units. This follows a previous agreement from 2021 with a developer who went bankrupt. The new agreement reflects a revised site plan approved by the planning board, which includes a reduction in overall rental units from the original plan (347 rentals down to 317) and an increase in affordable housing units from 57 to 69, satisfying the township's fourth-round affordable housing obligation. The bifurcation of the agreement into town homes and rental units was necessary due to how each agreement runs with the land.
