2003 RE-ORGANIZATION

REORGANIZATION MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 2003

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO OUR ANNUAL REORGANIZATION


MEETING.

I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL WELCOME TO OUR HONORED GUESTS,


WHO HAVE JOINED US 'rms EVENING.

PLEASE WELCOME STATE SENATOR BYRON BAER, WHO FOR 30 YEARS


HAS BEEN A GOOD AND TRUSTED FRIEND. SENATOR'BAER FIRST SERVED US
AS OUR ASSEMBLYMAN AND WAS ELECTED OUR STATE SENATOR IN 1991.
EVEN WHEN HE WASN'T IN OUR DISTRICT, ms OFFICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN
AVAILABLE TO HELP OUR ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS RESIDENTS.

NEXT PLEASE WELCOME ASSEMBLYWOMAN LORETTA WEINBERG.


LORETTA AND I GO BACK A LONG WAYS IN THE DEMOCRATIC
ORGANIZATION SHE IS A NEIGHBOR OF OURS FRo,M TEANECK. SHE HAS
DISTINGUISHED HERSELF IN THE NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLYAND HOLDS AN
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POSITION AS CONFERENCE LEADER.

NEXT IS OUR ROOKIE ASSEMBLYMAN GORDON JOHNSON.


GORDON IS ALSO A CLOSE NEIGHBOR FROM ENGLEWOOD. HE WAS A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN ENGLEWOOD; OUR COUNTY SHERIFF; AND THEN
ELECTED TO THE ASSEMBLY. WELCOME.

ALSO WITH US IS VALERIE VAINIERI HUTfLE, THE NEW CHAIRWOMAN


OF THE BERGEN COUNTY BOARD OF FREEHOLDERS.

AS A FORMER COUNTY CHAIRMAN, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO


ALL OF US IN ruts COUNTY TO HAVE A STRONG AND INDEPENDENT VOICE IN
THAT POSITION. I KNOW THAT VALIERIE WILL BE THAT VOICE.

I AM SURE THAT MOST OF YOU REALIZE THAT AS YOUR MAYOR, I


HAVE TAKEN GREAT PRIDE THROUGH THE YEARS IN THE
ACCOMPLISHEMENTS AND ACTIONS TAKEN BY rms MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

BUT YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW THAT ANYTIME WE NEEDED SOMETHING


FOR A RESIDENT OR rnrs TOWN, AND IT WAS A STATE ISSUE, OUR FRIENDS
IN THE 37T H DISTRICT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR US.

SO ONCE AGAIN WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME
TO JOIN US. THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP YOU HAVE GIVEN US THROUGH THE

THE YEAR 2002 WAS RELATIVELY QUIET HERE IN ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS;


NEW BEAUTIFUL HOMES CONTINUE TO BE BUILT; OUR COMMERCIAL
NEIGHBORS ARE IMPROVING THEm PROPERTIES.

CNBC IS WORKING MORE QillCKLY NOW TO GET READY TO MOVE IN.


THEY ARE FINISHING THE INTERIOR OF THE BUILDING AND I CAN TELL YOU
IT IS SOMETHING TO SEE.

DURING TIDS YEAR, I THINK THAT IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING WITH


THE OLD AMBULANCE CORPS BUILDING, THAT HAS BEEN USED FOR
STORAGE BY THE BOROUGH. THROUGH THE YEARS THE BUILDING HAS
STARTED TO FALL APART.

MY THOUGHT IS TO CONVERT TIDS SITE INTO ADDITIONAL MUCH


NEEDED SPACE FOR THE BOROUGH HALL FACILITIES.

I WILL BE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO HIRE AN ARCIDTECT TO PREPARE


PLANS AND HOPEFULY WE WILL START CONSTRUCTION IN LATE SPRING.

THE ONLY ITEM THAT CAUSED SOME CONCERN TIDS PAST YEAR WAS
THE SMALL INCREASE IN OUR PROPERTY TAXES., '

SINCE WE WERE REQillRED TO STABILIZE THE TAX BASE BY BERGEN


COUNTY AND SINCE OUR LAND IS SO VALUABLE, MANY RESIDENTS WHOSE
TAXES WERE INCREASED WERE DISMAYED.

WE STILL HAVE THE SECOND LOWEST TAX RATE IN THE COUNTY AND
COMPARED TO OTHER TOWNS AROUND US, WE ARE STILL BLESSED WITH
LOW PROPERTY TAXES.

MY HOPE IS THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR, THERE WILL BE OTHER


AJUSTMENTS BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NEW RATABLES AND TAXES WILL
EVENTUALLY GO DOWN A SMALL AMOUNT.

TIDS IS NOT A PROMISE BUT SIMPLY A STATEMENT OF PROBABILITY.

I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OUR RESIDENTS, WHO SERVE


ON OUR BOARDS: THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT; PLANNING BOARD; BOARD
OF HEALTH; SHADE TREE COMMISSION; ENVillONMENTAL COMMISSION
Al\'D OTHERS.

THEY SERVE THEm FELLOW RESIDENTS GRACIOUSLY AND MORE


OFTEN THAN NOT, WITHOUT THANKS. BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT WITH
SOME GRIEF.

THOUGH IT IS UNFORTUNATE, IT SEEMS THAT THE NATURE OF


MUNICll'AL BUSINESS IS TO OVERLOOK THE GOOD THAT IS DONE AND FIND
FAULT WITH THE FEW THINGS THAT MIGHT GO WRONG.

SO TO ALL OF YOU, WHO HAVE AGREED TO TAKE ON THESE


RESPONSffiILITIES YOU HAVE MY THANKS AND GRATITUDE.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO THE POLICE


DEPARTMENT; DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS; OUR VOLUNTEER
AMBULANCE CORPS AND FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE IN THESE DEPARTMENTS ARE


DEDICATED TO THE RESIDENTS AND HELP MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE
EACH DAY.

TONIGHT WE HAVE SWORN IN TWO COUNCIL WOMEN, NEITHER ONE IS


NEW TO THE JOB OR TIDS TOWN.

PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE YOU CANNOT FIND 2 MORE RESPONSffiLE,


DETERMINED, OR BETTER QUALIFIED PEOPLE, THAN PAT AND LYNN TO
SERVE AS COUNCILWOMEN. i

BOTH OF THEM ARE LONG TIME RESIDENTS. BOTH GREW UP IN


ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS AND STAYED HERE TO RAISE THEm OWN FAMILIES.

NOT ONLY ARE THEY PROFESSIONAL WOMEN, WHO ARE RESPECTED


BY THEm PEERS, BUT THEY ARE ALSO MOTHERS WITH YOUNG FAMILIE S.

THE RESIDENTS OF ENGL EWOOD CLIFFS HAVE CHOS EN WELL, AND I


AM PROUD TO HAVE THESE TWO EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN SERVING ON TIDS
COUNCIL.

SO, AS WE GO INTO TIDS NEW YEAR, 2003, I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE


WILL HAVE A PEACEFUL YEAR.

IAMHOPEFULTHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE A YEAR THAT IS HAPPY;


HEALTHY; AND PROSPEROUS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TIDS EVENING.

REPORT OF BOROUGH ATTORNEY:

All pending matters are being reviewed.

REPORT OF BOROUGH ENGINEER:

A pre-construction meeting, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, will be held on February 20.


The date the project will begin will depend on the amount of snow which falls.

Mr. Hipolit reported that he reviewed the original plans of the Municip al Building to
research whether or not a second floor could be placed on the building. He stated

possible. However, there is a second problem. The code for Police structures have
changed since this building was erected. 10 order to make sure the Police Department
is up to code, a cost of about $250,000 would be incurred. Including the upgrade
of the Police Department, the estimated cost is between'$750,000 and $1,000,000.
