There was a round of applause and congratulations from everyone in attendance.
6. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Janet Daly, 386 Ponfield Place, said she is here tonight relative to the repeal of Ordinance 3066. This ordinance never should have been passed and she is pleased it is being repealed.
Geri Nizza, 361 Rugby Court, said she has been faithfully paying her dog licensing fees on time since 1991. Because reminders were not sent out for the past two years, she did not send in her dog licensing fees on time. Recently, she found a notice on her doorstep stating that there was evidence that there was a dog in the home and she should pay the licensing fee immediately to avoid legal action. She did pay the fee; however, the Village returned the check stating that it would be necessary to pay an additional $20 late fee. She contacted the Village stating that she never received a reminder and she was told that reminders were only sent as a courtesy. Ms. Nizza said that a Village employee drove to her home yesterday to drop off another notice, which she feels is a waste of Village resources. She asked that the Village not send out reminders via mail because not everyone receives email.
Ms. Sonenfeld said that she would look into this process further. Ms. Nizza said that the email reminder contains a form to be printed out and completed; however, she doesn’t have a printer. Ms. Sonenfeld indicated that she was planning to look further into improving this process and she will speak to Ms. Nizza to get further input.
Jim Griffith, 159 South Irving Street, wished the new Village Council well. He watched last week’s Village Council meeting and was pleased to see the enthusiasm, which he hopes will last. He stated that he is available to help in any way possible with the tasks ahead.
Mr. Griffith spoke about the continued controversy relative to parking. He recommended that parking be listed as an agenda item for every meeting. He noted that all past studies agree that the problem is that 1,200 additional parking spaces are needed, and Hudson Street is the first step.
George Shabet, 334 Lakeview Drive, congratulated the Village Councilmembers. He asked for their support to restore Kings Pond Park to its intended use, and to conform to the recommendations made in the 2006 Master Plan of the Village of Ridgewood. He said that Village administrations since 2000 have done nothing to enhance or change the course of deterioration at Kings Pond Park. Mr. Shabet stated that the dam at the pond, which was installed in 1968, has eroded and become very dangerous. He notified the Village Council in 1995 of this deteriorating condition, which could result in a lawsuit if anyone were to be injured. The dam is in a state of partial collapse and the conditions could only be described as swamp like. Mr. Shabet added that the western shoreline is overgrown with vegetation and access to the pond is virtually impossible.
Mr. Shabet stated that he anticipates a fresh approach to this situation from Councilmembers Hache and Voigt. He noted that when Councilwoman Walsh was formerly a Councilmember from 2010 to 2014, nothing was done relative to Kings Pond. He hopes to see some help in this area from Councilwoman Walsh in 2016. Mr. Shabet recalled that he and his wife met with Ms. Sonenfeld when she became the Village Manager hoping that new blood in the administration might improve the situation. They provided Ms. Sonenfeld with aerial photographs of the area, depicting the deterioration from 1995 to 2012, and other photos from 2014; however, nothing has been done and the area continues to decline.
Mr. Shabet stated that on October 16th, 2014, Councilman Sedon and former Councilwoman Hauck were assigned by the Village Council to come up with solutions that would restore the pond. Both Councilmembers visited the site with a reporter and a photographer from the Ridgewood News. This was a wonderful photo opportunity, but there has been no subsequent follow-up. He indicated that Mayor Knudsen must also share responsibility for the deplorable conditions since she was part of the previous administration. Mr. Shabet stated that in January 2016, he sent all Village Councilmembers an email asking them what they planned to do to rectify the situation. Mayor Knudsen was the only one who responded to the email stating that the Village is obligated to ensure that the parks are clean, safe and accessible, and she hoped that 2016 would be the year that Kings Pond Park is restored. Mr. Shabet said he hopes that Mayor Knudsen would be able to live up to this statement.
Mayor Knudsen responded that she had requested money in the capital budget for Kings Pond, which was ultimately rejected and removed from the budget. Councilman Voigt said that the Financial Advisory Committee will look into this further because there may be grant money available to help with improvements. Mr. Shabet said he doesn’t expect a response tonight but he would like to have details of a plan by September or October.
Jacqueline Hone, 30 Carriage Lane, told Village Councilmembers that she filed a complaint for improper notice of meetings against the Village Manager and members of her staff in October of 2015. Ms. Hone said that this complaint was specific to Open Space County Grant applications dating back to 2008, which contained false and misleading information. Ms. Hone claims that these applications had been submitted without municipal endorsement or public notification as required. Her complaint remains unanswered and has been completely ignored. Ms. Hone stated that this pattern of disregard for procedure and public involvement continues. She added that a video was also produced by the Village Manager and her staff for the special referendum election, which has resulted in another lawsuit.
Ms. Hone read from earlier correspondence forwarded to the former Village Council when her complaint went unanswered. She said that a citizen’s complaint should be viewed as an opportunity to dismiss wrong doing and to restore the public trust. The Village Manager has a fiduciary responsibility to investigate complaints made by citizens and should afford the complaint due process. The complaint should be reviewed by a panel with a detailed explanation as to whether allegations are sustained, not sustained, deemed unfounded, or exonerated. Instead, upon receipt of Ms. Hone’s complaint, the former Mayor inappropriately forwarded the complaint to the subjects involved in the allegation. Ms. Hone stated that a notice of complaint to the Village of Ridgewood is a formal complaint filed with the Village Council and she added that through her appearance today she was placing the Village Council on notice of wrong doing, and to cease and desist on all matters pertaining to the Schedler property. She asked for due process and protection from the Village Council.
Ms. Hone requested that someone look into the initial complaint, along with what has transpired since the time of the filing of the complaint. As a result of the complaint, many residents have continued to address the Village Council with details of other activities that have taken place on the Schedler property and nothing has been done. She asked that the new Village Council look into these complaints.
Mayor Knudsen said she was not clear as to whether or not there is an official process; however, she indicated that she would look into this. She indicated that she took the complaint seriously and questioned the Village Manager about the procedures. She will endeavor to find a mechanism for formal review, followed by a formal response. She stated she would get back to Ms. Hone later this week, or early next week to let her know how they will be addressing this complaint.
Saurabh Dani, 390 Bedford Road, referred to the pending resolution that would dissolve the Construction Board of Appeals in Ridgewood. It is his understanding that the Construction Board of Appeals is being dissolved because it is difficult to find people willing to serve on this Board. Mr. Dani suggested that the Village Council revisit this decision and try to find qualified members in the fall when more people are home. It is important that the appropriate rules are followed in light of all the construction that is planned in the near future.
Mayor Knudsen stated that this item is being removed from the Consent Agenda and is being moved to the August 3rd Work Session for further discussion. She added that the Construction Board of Appeals is new to almost everyone on the dais and they need more information as to how this Board operates.
Mr. Dani spoke about the HealthBarn’s complaint that so many people are parking in their designated area during baseball games. He noted that HealthBarn has twelve parking spaces as part of their lease. There are also parking spaces provided for their buses at the Graydon parking lot. Mr. Dani asked if HealthBarn was being charged to park the buses at the Graydon lot.
On a related topic, Mr. Dani asked for clarification relative to garbage pick-up at HealthBarn. He questioned whether or not businesses have their garbage picked up by the Village.
Ms. Sonenfeld stated that the lease with HealthBarn allows for buses to be in the Habernickel parking lot; however, in order to keep the area more attractive for area residents, it was suggested that the buses park at the PSE&G right-of-way in the Graydon parking lot. There have been some incidents with sports teams parking in the driveway, rather than the parking lot. Upon questioning from Mayor Knudsen, Ms. Sonenfeld said that even if the buses were to park in the Habernickel lot, HealthBarn would still only be allotted twelve parking spaces. When the traveling teams come for games at Habernickel Park, they sometimes take up the entire lot and all at once, the twelve spaces allotted to HealthBarn become unavailable. Mr. Dani was concerned that HealthBarn was able to use more spots than they are entitled to in their lease. Ms. Sonenfeld indicated that these spaces at the Habernickel parking lot are not marked or designated as parking spots for HealthBarn exclusively.
There were no further comments from the public.
7. MANAGER’S REPORT
Ms. Sonenfeld reported that West Glen Avenue and the train underpass are now open at the intersection of Oak Street since the PSE&G work has been completed in this area. This will ease some of the traffic congestion; however, traffic will continue due to the detours. The current detour is shorter, as work by PSE&G continues between Maple Avenue and Oak Street. There will be one additional detour in August for two weeks, when the Village and PSE&G work together to rectify electrical issues on North and South Broad Street. Ms. Sonenfeld said that there shouldn’t be a major impact on North Broad Street and they will be providing more information to the businesses affected by this detour.
Regarding water usage, Ms. Sonenfeld said they are seeing an improvement of about five million gallons per day between watering and non-watering days. If this differential continues and the watering days don’t peak any higher, Stage II water restrictions should be sustainable. She noted that over one hundred and fifty summonses have been issued.
Ms. Sonenfeld stated that there will be two public forums on water, relative to the Consumer Confidence Report scheduled for Wednesday, July 27th at 9:00 A.M. in the Court Room. The other will take place on Tuesday, August 2nd. Invitations to these forums were mailed to every household today and information is posted on the Village website. There will be an e-notice going out about this tomorrow and notice was also given to other municipalities as well.
Ms. Sonenfeld stated that the Village began to strictly enforce penalties for repeat parking in the Central Business (CBD) in March. Since that time, 105 tickets were issued for repeat parking in March; 125 tickets were issued in April; 144 tickets were issued in May; and 142 two tickets were issued in June. There appear to be several offenders, who have received as many as 22 tickets. This issue has been discussed at the internal meetings on parking held by Robert Rooney, Village CFO, and it has been suggested that the fees on repeat parking tickets be raised. They are considering raising the fine to $50 for the first offense; $75 after five offenses; and $100 if more than 10 tickets have been issued. Ms. Sonenfeld stated that this seems to be the biggest issue in the CBD and there is a belief that hundreds of spaces could be freed up if the fines were more serious. They had discussed raising the fine from $19 to $25 earlier in the year; however, that increase was put on hold. Ms. Sonenfeld explained that another parking enforcement employee may be added, in addition to overtime for other employees, in order to issue tickets for repeat parking over the next several weeks and to gauge the significance of the repeat parking problem.
Councilman Voigt asked whether the repeat parking offenders were business owners. Ms. Sonenfeld said that the Parking Enforcement Officers feel that the salons seem to be the worst offenders. She pointed out that eight hour parking is available at the Cottage Place lot, much of which goes unused. Ms. Sonenfeld said that there will be further discussion at the August 3rd work session when they will have a better idea of just how many parking spaces are used for repeat parking.
Councilman Hache reported that he observed several areas today where businesses had posted signs stating that specific parking spaces were for customers only, and employees must park in a municipal lot. He noted that the Cottage Place parking lot is usually half empty during the day. There should be another way of tracking repeat parking other than using the old fashioned method of chalking the tires. Councilman Hache suggested using the park mobile app which should be able to provide information on license plate numbers. Ms. Sonenfeld said that there are 2 LPRs but they are not hooked up to anything from an automated standpoint. Councilman Hache pointed out that 106 parking spaces will be lost if construction for a parking deck goes forward on Hudson Street. This would be in addition to 70 spaces lost at the Brogan lot.
Mayor Knudsen asked how many days an individual has to pay a parking ticket. Mr. Rogers said there is no required time period; however, the municipality will notify the State, who will take action to revoke driving privileges if a fine remains unpaid. Ms. Sonenfeld noted that there are only 3 license plates that have been ticketed multiple times for repeat parking.
Ms. Sonenfeld stated that 25 trees have been planted at the Route 17 Park and Ride lot to help with screening for residences in that area. These plantings were financed using the trust fund at the State level because the Village runs the facility for the State. The Village has asked if additional spaces could be added at the Park and Ride lot, and these spaces will be ParkMobile spaces with no parking meters.
Ms. Sonenfeld recalled that the Village Council discussed the replacement of parallel parking spaces with angled parking spaces in the Central Business District. They also considered switching from two-way streets to one-way streets. Christopher Rutishauser, Village Engineer, will do a feasibility study updating his 2006 high level report and she hopes to have this information completed for the August Work Session. Councilman Voigt questioned the price per day to park at the Route 17 Park and Ride lot. Ms. Sonenfeld replied that it is 50 cents an hour or by parking permit at a cost of $750 annually, which is prorated per month.
Ms. Sonenfeld stated that there was a discussion at the last meeting concerning outsourcing relative to the management of the mulching facility at the Lakeview Compost Facility. They compared both the cost of using Village equipment and or not using Village equipment. The equipment necessary in the mulching process, needing replacement, will cost over a million dollars. Bids for the outsourcing came in higher than anticipated at over $500,000, which was why the item was pulled at the last meeting. Ms. Sonenfeld said that the Village has looked into the cost of running the program today, including capital expenditure and the debt that would be incurred. This is anticipated to be $391,400, which means that the outsourcing would be even more expensive. The bids are being rejected and the Village will go out to bid again after refining some of the parameters of the bid. She hopes to get the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) involved in evaluating the comparison between outsourcing and running the facility in-house. Ms. Sonenfeld pointed out that at this time, the budget does not reflect the million dollar bond needed to pay for the equipment, and a decision will not be made in time for this year’s leaf season.
Ms. Sonenfeld recalled that the Village has received the first quarterly report from HealthBarn. The Village asked that HealthBarn include the investment expenditures in this report, which is useful from a transparency point of view. This number is important, because HealthBarn must invest $50,000 to be able to extend their lease for a year as per Green Acres requirements and standards. When the lease was negotiated, the Village required that HealthBarn do $60,000 worth of improvements over eighteen months or by September 2017. Ms. Sonenfeld has given Mayor Knudsen preliminary backup relative to the $65,000 worth of activity that has taken place, much of which would be attributable to capital. She doesn’t anticipate a detailed expenditure report until all of the work is completed by HealthBarn.
Councilman Voigt said that there have been a lot of emails back and forth on this topic and he asked that these be posted on the Village website. Ms. Sonenfeld said that some of the emails contain credit card statements and there is no requirement for HealthBarn to publish this information.
Upcoming Events – Ms. Sonenfeld reminded everyone of “Meet the Manager”, which is scheduled for Monday, July 25th from 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.
Ms. Sonenfeld invited everyone to the Kasschau Shell at 8:30 P.M. this Thursday. She stated that Hazardous Waste Collection for household goods sponsored by Bergen County is scheduled for Saturday July 23rd from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. at Campgaw.
Ms. Sonenfeld announced the Great Ducky Derby at Graydon Pool on Saturday, July 23rd from noon until 4:00 P.M. Ms. Sonenfeld reminded everyone of the Farmers Market, which takes place every Sunday from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. at the train station. On July 27th at 9:00 P.M. the Raiders of the Lost Ark movie will be shown. Ms. Sonenfeld stated that based on the current environment, police officers will be wearing heavier protective vests for their safety.
Ms. Sonenfeld welcomed Bob Jones from Nisivoccia, the Village Auditors, who is the lead partner who can answer any questions on the Annual Audit and the Corrective Action Plan.
8. VILLAGE COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilman Voigt, Councilman Sedon and Councilman Hache had no reports this evening.
Citizens Safety Committee – Councilwoman Walsh reported that she received a warm welcome from the Citizens Safety Committee Members. The Committee discussed a long standing issue relative to a property on West Ridgewood Avenue, which has a cut through to a street behind it. The Ridgewood Police Department, the Citizens Safety Committee and the neighbors are trying to work towards an acceptable solution with parking and striping. She offered to talk to the property owner to see if they could make some changes in order to avoid more formal action.
Councilwoman Walsh stated that the Committee discussed crossing guards and getting ready for the upcoming school year. The new crossing guard program was highlighted as well as the maintenance of signs and the problem of missing signs.
Access Ridgewood - Mayor Knudsen reported on the Access meeting, which was well attended. The next Access Meeting is scheduled for August 18th at 7:30 P.M. at the Community Center. An Access Weekend is planned for October 8th to include a Young Adult Dance on the first floor of Village Hall. On October 14th, 15th and 16th there will be multiple family events such as a fashion and talent show, school events and an inter-faith service.
Mayor Knudsen stated that she recently learned of a Wednesday night Pick Up basketball game for adults over twenty-one supported by Access Ridgewood at the Lutheran Church.
Planning Board – Mayor Knudsen reported on the Planning Board meeting and reviewed the Master Plan action items, some of which will come before the Village Council. The completeness review is now finished relative to the multi-family housing applications and the Planning Board decided that the best way to handle this in a timely manner is to begin the four applications on different nights and rotate them as the Planning Board moves forward though the hearings. The first application for the multi-family site plan application will be heard on August 16th
Historic Preservation Commission – Mayor Knudsen stated that the HPC heard two small applications at Thursday night’s meeting.

10. RESOLUTIONS
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS, NUMBERED 16-201 THROUGH 16-228 WERE ADOPTED BY A CONSENT AGENDA, WITH ONE VOTE BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL, AND WERE READ BY TITLE ONLY:
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION, NUMBERED 16-229, WAS CONSIDERED SEPARATELY AND READ IN FULL:
Prior to the vote, Councilman Sedon said he could not support this appointment because there is a conflict of interest caused when legal advice was given relative to the binding referendum question. It appeared that if the referendum passed, this firm would net a considerable fee, which he finds disconcerting.
11. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Saurabh Dani, 390 Bedford Road, referred to information pertaining to the $60,000 investment by HealthBarn, which the Village Manager said was not necessary until eighteen months after the lease was signed. Mr. Dani said that since the Village Manager indicated last week that HealthBarn has spent $60,000 on capital improvements, it would be expected that backup on these improvements should be available. Mr. Dani pointed out that permits had only been issued for $43,245 worth of improvements. He hopes that they are not including maintenance items such as replacement light bulbs as capital improvements. He questioned the other improvements which were included in the balance of the $60,000.
Councilwoman Walsh asked Mr. Rogers what would constitute a capital improvement in this lease. Ms. Sonenfeld stated that capital improvements are defined in the lease under Appendix C. She added that the replacement of a stove and a fridge would not require a permit, but they are defined as capital improvements. Mr. Rogers explained that the improvements required to meet the $60,000 threshold are improvements that will be reviewed by Green Acres. Green Acres sets the parameters of what needs to be done and whether or not the work has been satisfactorily completed. Ms. Sonenfeld reiterated that the Green Acres requirement was for $50,000 of improvements, but the Village raised this amount to $60,000. Mr. Rogers stated that Green Acres will provide a decision as to whether or not the threshold has been met either in a formal report or by email.
Ms. Sonenfeld said she made the decision to list the details of what had happened in the quarterly report in the interest of transparency. Mayor Knudsen stated that Mr. Dani raises a legitimate question as to exactly what the money has been used for. She added that she has all of the documents to review and it may be possible to generate a report.
Anne Loving, 342 South Irving Street, thanked Councilman Sedon for voting against hiring the Bond Counsel. She said that a video had been put on the Village website promoting a particular vote on the parking referendum, which was then questioned and removed from the website. This particular Bond Counsel said that the video could be put back on the website, which was followed by the filing of an ethics violation against the former Mayor and current Village Manager, which was submitted to the Local Finance Board. Ms. Loving stated that these actions indicate that this Bond Counsel is tainted and should be replaced.
Boyd Loving, 342 South Irving Street, recalled that he had stated that he couldn’t understand why the previous Village Council had never discussed incentives to have developers install public parking in their buildings. He said that it might not be too late to go to the developer to see if he would be interested in changing his plans to add public parking. This would be a wonderful deal with the Village saving money, combined with tax relief for the developer.
Mr. Loving has noticed that there is a lack of parking at some of the medical buildings. He wondered if new standards need to be developed, relative to the number of parking spaces required, for some buildings. People are forced to park on the streets at some of these medical centers, because there aren’t enough spaces available. The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment should look at the regulations again to ensure that the number of parking spaces is not being underestimated.
Regarding HealthBarn, Mr. Loving said he agreed with Mr. Dani that the public has a right to ask for back up relative to the number that was mentioned in a posting on a website that is paid for by the taxpayers.
Jacqueline Hone, 30 Carriage Lane, asked again for confirmation either way that her allegations would be looked into by the Village Council. She asked if she would need to make a list of things that transpired after the initial complaint was filed, meaning from October to the present time. Mayor Knudsen asked Ms. Hone to email everything she has to the entire Village Council so that there are no questions relative to the points she has raised.
12. RESOLUTION TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION
Ms. Mailander read Resolution #16-231 to go into Closed Session as follows:
13. ADOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Village Council, on a motion by Councilman Sedon, seconded by Councilwoman Walsh, and carried unanimously by voice vote, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
