Borough staff reported a proposal from the contractor used previously at Memorial Pool; the estimated cost is slightly over $5,000 to continue services on Second Street. The services will include egg addling. Borough staff and council members emphasized resident cooperation—particularly that residents must not feed geese—otherwise the mitigation effort will not be effective and the borough may discontinue the service.

Council members gave consensus to proceed with the contract; no formal roll-call vote was recorded because the item was handled as a new-business consensus request rather than on the consent agenda. Staff said the affected neighborhood is adjacent to a flat grass area along the Passaic River where geese congregate and that the contractor’s price covers the established mitigation approach for the season.

Ending: Staff will proceed with the contractor arrangement and monitor results; council asked staff to notify residents of the program and enforcement expectations (no feeding) to support success.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council of Fair Lawn, NJ - Borough Council Meeting Archived - Mar 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council gave consensus to continue a contractor agreement for geese mitigation along Second Street, including egg addling; staff said the contract is slightly over $5,000 and residents must avoid feeding geese for the effort to work.","taxTitle","Fair Lawn, Bergen County, New Jersey","taxId",58045,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623763,"Fair Lawn moves forward on River Road design guidelines and reaffirms Main Street management corporations",423,2937000,3360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb&start=2937&end=3360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb/thumbnail_2937000.jpg","/articles/6623763/Fair-Lawn/Bergen-County/New-Jersey/Fair-Lawn-moves-forward-on-River-Road-design-guidelines-and-reaffirms-Main-Street-management-corporations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623763-9933316285310556425eb1fc26a38cb8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448623&Signature=ExXBCk6dqRLSuSQ1QkBfIFJcf9zuQzkjY4mAUMk8dfoKb0oVhLcX8oGRyLBAoq0nAXt7qdkBUZXmrAJkGOoo9ccTfgcLJThWxlrSeX6g1z6uOEkLKbq886oj3Ij7pRU4t7g92b68b2tL8aPdrK12gnuVIBcmRTyvZ0jNey5tK3pCA5OMhJHI8fqdcyIMgqJKbW7OEYk8Wtty6h7Ir8-grlLgZoUKvepY0xr9ySMm6-Mnr7KQw9r2VhlW0e6qNVrrprh3HDzMRhTe12TTPjWS-AB6Wcqd6ARdm~zfmo9XvHZiJJTjxaN~X1nHJnVX6us0vciBLTYsc9Zj~-~WwAfMuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fair Lawn Mayor and Council on March 25 adopted ordinances updating the River Road and Broadway Special Improvement Districts and reaffirmed Fairlawn Main Street, Inc. as the districts' management corporation.

During public comment Pamela Coles asked whether the River Road ordinance extended the district; borough staff explained the action was an annual update to address recent lot-and-block merges and to continue using the existing management corporation, Fairlawn Main Street, Inc. The River Road ordinance was adopted on final reading.

Separately, Ryan (a Fairlawn Main Street representative) and other presenters described a forthcoming design-guidelines project. The borough has contracted LRK to work with the borough, Fairlawn Main Street and the planning board to develop design guidelines for River Road. The guidelines are intended to provide standards for aesthetics and help reviewers and developers when projects come before the planning board; River Road was chosen as the first focus area because Radburn already has its own guidelines and the borough aims to move more quickly on River Road using lessons learned.

Council and staff said the design-guidelines project will include outreach and that staff will circulate implementation strategy notes to council members in the coming weeks.

Ending: The River Road and Broadway SID ordinances are now adopted; the LRK contract for River Road design guidelines is in place and staff will follow up with a public engagement and implementation schedule.","Council adopted ordinances reaffirming River Road and Broadway Special Improvement District management corporations and staff described a plan to hire LRK to create River Road design guidelines to guide future development.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623768,"Fair Lawn advances community solar procurement; council authorizes competitive contracting",2159,1788000,3947000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb&start=1788&end=3947","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb/thumbnail_1788000.jpg","/articles/6623768/Fair-Lawn/Bergen-County/New-Jersey/Fair-Lawn-advances-community-solar-procurement-council-authorizes-competitive-contracting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623768-490b80356b215b5763c22046e9f54c3e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448623&Signature=dpwdva8bSVmvdM0TulwedO~Atl9gWipkONcVdrikRzdwEYxFyL7yqEBVD0cTjMLNkOuPhNfWfq9aabvT2CA0AO3y7~hbzLpErHemZ2hb1ar4yZs92kC18l91uJFmQQulceRpYki1gns1NY9jQ4UuFoi~m6~2v7CQCNWNTpuqHc4qczENNUM4Gx9Nxfa0PpQ0RqW7~DfG1R4HmHZ0AoZ2jhL3mqGfOHs3e-YxK5Vq057hF7CSRFGGBeO1G6R0tbWEOQZTSOsqpKDR0a-4IEk~blZjPc5eXGPe~QWx5GGeviX8CgcxSryiX3QkZLZ0ZaWrAqs7gAzQSOff65U6Td1RkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fair Lawn’s Mayor and Council on March 25 approved a consent-agenda resolution that authorizes the borough to use competitive contracting to solicit community solar energy program proposals that would offer discounted subscription services to borough residents.

Deputy Mayor Rottenstryke and other council members referenced two sustainability initiatives on the agenda: beginning a community energy plan and soliciting bids for a community solar vendor. Pamela Coles, a resident who spoke during public comment, asked the council to highlight the community solar initiative publicly and noted a Third Street property that had been discussed in earlier work sessions as a potential project site.

The consent resolution authorizes staff to advertise a request for proposals under competitive contracting procedures; no vendor selection or contract award occurred at the March 25 meeting. Councilmembers and residents said the program is intended to provide a subscription option for residents seeking discounted energy from a local community solar installation. Council members indicated they will pursue publicity after the advertisement step to inform residents about the subscription opportunity.

Ending: The council cleared the administrative step to seek proposals; subsequent meetings or staff reports will be required to select a developer, set subscription terms, and finalize any municipal agreements.","Council approved a resolution on the consent agenda to advertise competitive contracting for a community solar subscription program and council members and residents discussed a potential Third Street project and resident subscription benefits.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623773,"Fair Lawn council introduces 2025 budget, adopts two special improvement district ordinances and approves consent agenda",355,3085000,3440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb&start=3085&end=3440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2769292-cbab4b956f9613c51bc78997b58211eb/thumbnail_3085000.jpg","/articles/6623773/Fair-Lawn/Bergen-County/New-Jersey/Fair-Lawn-council-introduces-2025-budget-adopts-two-special-improvement-district-ordinances-and-approves-consent-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623773-4e9410875f280b737b1a8ded3d960fa7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448623&Signature=Aac4p77zGyVbJ7SN8eG~WrnHg5tEHqObk7kd2KAUYu9FjLhP7tCwpPP7tR988gTC-slqHcaG2FxF-tdfhVlDXApTG6DCNTxUvoqU5y4DYGnNvpeZYPSmToainn6O6yF3C3KxtB4IPK67TIcRI-Qtndc0-28idQiKiMXrNWR0Igf3LcCq7U7SIRc-~Qo3LUMMHYkA899VLkxNuWiUDK0-90pEYxRkTaPZWLI4PTu0s91PDS1-Con3T0d5Jfii0gTL5LT-gaVTixwqPrRTAawpCsyUUf~tm-hiT96SZmYOQSRHHEUziafRnAlztR11NdbqJYnAy9TrPPxHcLWM~bLg2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Borough of Fair Lawn Mayor and Council on March 25 introduced the 2025 municipal budget for public hearing, adopted two special improvement district ordinances on final reading and approved a consent agenda containing multiple purchasing and contract authorizations.

Council members voted unanimously to pass Resolution 120-2025, authorizing self-examination of the 2025 municipal budget, and Resolution 121A-2025, the resolution of introduction that sets a public hearing on the budget for April 22, 2025. The council heard no public opposition during roll call votes on the budget introduction.

Also on final reading the council adopted Ordinance 27-33-2025, updating the River Road Special Improvement District and designating the district management corporation, and Ordinance 27-34-2025, updating the Broadway Special Improvement District and designating its management corporation; both ordinances passed by roll call with all members voting yes.

On introduction the council passed three ordinances to proceed to public hearing on April 22: Ordinance 27-35-2025 (zoning amendments to land development article 3), Ordinance 27-36-2025 (property maintenance standards revisions), and Ordinance 27-37-2025 (establishing a cap bank for calendar year 2025).

The council approved a consent agenda (Resolutions 122-1409, listed on the agenda) that included a range of routine purchasing authorizations and agreements. Items called out during public comment included a not-to-exceed estimate of $85,000 for library consortium/bibliographic delivery services (described on the agenda as “Buckles” subscription), an agreement with CME for tax assessment map updates, an agreement with Lisa McClements for age-friendly initiative management services, and a resolution authorizing use of competitive contracting and advertising an RFP for community solar energy program projects that would offer subscription services to borough residents.

The meeting concluded with passage of a resolution authorizing a closed executive session to discuss personnel matters and pending litigation.
