joining the system in addition to the senior taxi service already in place. Council agreed nan Plawker

should look into the system further.

The path would be on Palisades Interstate Parkway's property, but paid for by Englewood Cliffs. It

will be an expensive project with a lot of engineering requirements. There are environmental and

location issues that would interfere with the construction. nan Plawker will inquire at the State level

to see if there would be any assistance regarding funding for the.project. It was suggested that more

stringent measures be taken to control the bicycle riders. .,

discuss the concept.

is very good this year.

ADMINISTRATION:

Mrs. Fehre reported that the department head meetings have been re-initiated by the Mayor this

month, the meeting went well, communication is key for all departments and Mayor & Council.

REPORTOF THE MUNICIPALATTORNEY:

Mr. Corriston stated that the Cingu lar case keeps going on , a trial date is set for February 3"', 2009.

If it is decided that the Board ofAdjustment was incorrect in denying the variance, the case ends. If itis decided that the Board of Adjustment was correct, Cingular will challenge the borough's

ordinance.

NEWBUSINESS:

Mayor Parisi brought up for discussion the item ofmaintenance of borough right of ways. This item

was listed on the caucus agenda, but not discussed in caucus.

Mr. Bialko stated that at this time the borough is maintaining certain right ofways in town, which are

not borough properties. Confusion regarding these properties came about due to the locations and the

builders installing fences giving the appearance that these properties do not belong to the owners

adjacent to them.

E. Carter Corriston will speak with the Tax Assessor to determine definitively who owns these

properties. Once identified, it was suggested that the town inform the residents involved, continue tomaintain until the end of this growing season, then it will be the property owners responsibility. It

was noted that the town has a ten foot right of way throughout the entire town, which of course the

town does not maintain.

The Mayor mentioned the recent memo distributed to all employees and volunteers regarding

mailings, flyers, etc., which are sent to the community. No mailings or flyers are to go out unless

approved by the Mayor or Administrator and copied to the Council. This way everyone is equally

informed.
