If approved by Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf, River Edge residents would begin paying a greater portion of the levy over a two-year phased in period
Almost nine months since the initial arguments were given over a two-day span before Administrative Law Judge Leslie Z. Celentano, the boroughs of Oradell and River Edge have received an answer to the ongoing River Dell Regional school district funding inequality fight. Celentano has recommended that the state change the funding formula for River Dell to an 80-20 mix formula and placing the majority of the tax burden for the district on River Edge. Her decision called for a two-year phase in period. Oradell which sends approximately 653 students to the River Dell district spends about $20,360 per pupil. River Edge, with 1,024 students, pays about $14,330 for each of its students. According to James Kirtland, a CPA who testified on behalf …

A public hearing yielded zero questions from residents on Monday night. The 2013 municipal budget will be adopted later this month
Later this month, River Edge officials will approve the 2013 municipal budget with the lowest residentail tax increase for the past few years.

The Mayor and Council opted to forego a public hearing on the proposed ordinance, effectively killing it in the process
Park Avenue residents in River Edge are breathing easier now that the borough governing body has once again abandoned a proposed duplex ordinance. The Mayor and Council had scheduled a public hearing on the conditional use zoning change for Monday night, but opted to forego the public hearing and kill the ordinance in the process. A public hearing was required prior to a vote and by not holding the hearing, the borough was effectively voting against moving forward. "I want to thank the governing body for finally listening to us," Park Avenue resident Jim Miller said. "I just hope this ordinance does not get reintroduced as it seems we have to come out every two years to fight this battle. I'm tired of that, please leave us alone." The …
The roof, which has been extended four times already, will need to be completely replaced
Considered in "dire need" of replacement due to the current EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) single-ply rubber membrane failing, the River Edge Library roof replacement project will now have a tentative autumn start date. The estimated $250,000 project had to be pushed back to September as the actual funding would not be available to the borough until mid-June. Construction plans are expected to be completed this spring and bid out over the late spring/early summer months. "I am prepared to start construction drawings at any time," architect Peter Pulice said. "There is zero life to that roof with excessive ponding, the membranes are in bad shape, joint failures and the mechanical equipment is not elevated high enough. The metal…

Tuesday, March 26
Last Thursday we came to the Planning Board and listened carefully. And while the decision made came as a disappointment to our community, it also served to coalesce our understanding of a political process which seems astray. The purpose of the Planning Board meeting was whether this ordinance conforms to the borough’s masterplan and the questions asked by both the Board members and the public, demonstrated many issues. One neighbor held up the Land Use Map as bound into the masterplan and pointed out how the area is meant to be single family residential and read aloud from the masterplan: “The residential land use plan proposed no new areas for single-family or multi-family development. All existing residential neighborhoods are to be …
