River Edge NJ Mayor & Council Meeting 6/25/26
Published: Jun 25, 2026
Historic Society's Event Request Sent for Traffic and Safety Review
The Bergen County Historic Society requested permission to use the Burough Train Station parking lot in New Bridge Landing for a living history event on Sunday, November 26th. The council was advised to send this request to the traffic safety department and the chief of police for review and recommendations due to potential impacts on parking, traffic flow on a major artery, and the need for police presence. Concerns were raised about existing leases for parking areas, but it was clarified that the requested area is not currently under a lease agreement. The council ultimately agreed to send the request to traffic safety for evaluation.
Proposed Ordinances to Limit Pets and Regulate Feeding of Stray Animals and Birds
The council discussed proposed ordinances to limit the number of cats and dogs per household (maximum six, with grandfathering for existing households) and to prohibit the feeding of stray cats and birds. The board of health recommended these ordinances due to a lack of enforcement mechanisms and to address issues like rat problems linked to bird feeders and the spread of disease by stray animals. The ordinances aim to regulate bird feeding on public property and set parameters for private property feeding, ensuring it doesn't create a nuisance. The discussion included explanations of legal precedents for property use regulations and the principle of 'quiet enjoyment' for neighbors. The council agreed to move forward with drafting the ordinances.
Council Approves Community Development Block Grant Program and Expenditures
The council reviewed and approved several resolutions, including those related to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The CDBG is a federal program providing funding for municipalities and nonprofits for housing, infrastructure improvements, and first-time homebuyer assistance. The town must approve resolutions every three years to participate in this program, which is administered through the county. The council also approved various expenditures from different funds, including current, capital, grant, animal control, trust, open space, developers agreement, and recreation trust funds. A resident inquired about resolution 26-193, the community development block grant program, and its primary focus on housing and infrastructure, excluding open land and parks.
Town Notes Sold at 3.75% Interest; Park Improvements Nearing Completion
The council received informational updates on financial matters, including the sale of notes totaling $14,731,000 at an interest rate of 3.75%. The chief financial officer will budget 3.489% for net interest cost after premium application and plans to issue serial bonds in 2030 to replace temporary financing. No action was required as this was for informational purposes. Additionally, the final payment for Kenneth B. George Park improvements is pending, with a maintenance bond to follow. There are no other active construction projects at this time.
Ethan Miller Sworn in as Junior Firefighter, Emphasizing Volunteerism
The council discussed and approved the appointment of Ethan Miller as a junior firefighter. The ceremony included a swearing-in process and commendations from the fire department captain, highlighting the importance of volunteerism and the positive impact of new members on the fire company. The fire captain also introduced other present firefighters and spoke about the strong community spirit within Company One.
