A SPECIAL PUBLIC MEETING OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD HELD IN THE SYDNEY V. STOLDT, JR. COURT ROOM OF THE RIDGEWOOD VILLAGE HALL, 131 NORTH MAPLE AVENUE, RIDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY ON MAY 24, 2017 AT 7:30 PM

  1. 1. CALL TO ORDER – OPEN PUBLIC MEETINGS ACT – ROLL CALL – FLAG SALUTE

Mayor Knudsen called the meeting to order at 7:33 P.M. and read the Statement of Compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act. At roll call, the following were present: Councilmembers  Hache, Sedon, Voigt, Walsh, and Mayor Knudsen. Also present were Heather Mailander, Village Manager/Village Clerk; Matthew Rogers, Village Attorney; and Donna M. Jackson, Deputy Clerk.  

  1. 2. RESOLUTION

THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION, NUMBERED 17-142, WAS ADOPTED BY A CONSENT AGENDA, WITH ONE VOTE BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, AND WAS READ IN FULL:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Councilman Voigt stated that he was in favor of this resolution; however, he abstained from voting because he felt that more information was needed on the total cost for the Zabriskie/Schedler House Stabilization Project, ideas for its future use, and how it will be self-sustaining.

Mayor Knudsen noted that residents have funded the preliminary work. Remediation assessments and evaluations have been completed. The understanding has always been that the Zabriskie/Schedler House would be used as a meeting place, to facilitate Board and Committee Meetings, and for educational programming. Mayor Knudsen pointed out that neither The Stable, The Habernickel House, or any other Village-owned property is financially self-sustaining. She did not feel this was an appropriate requirement for added recreational/office space.

  1. 3. ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Village Council, on a motion by Councilwoman Walsh, seconded by Councilman Sedon, and carried unanimously by voice vote, the Village Council’s Special Public Meeting was adjourned at 7:38 p.m.
