The Pompton Lakes Borough Council handled routine business and several formal votes during the meeting.
The council approved minutes from 03/11/2026 and authorized bills and claims as presented. A request was made to remove Resolution 26‑165 (a contract item with Dresner) from the consent agenda for separate consideration; the Willowfield playground grant application (discussed earlier) remained on the consent agenda. The council introduced Ordinance 26‑12 (establishing annual compensation for Municipal Utilities Authority members) for introduction and discussed Ordinance 26‑13 (workplace conduct) as introduction‑only with a note that some related matters will be addressed in closed session.
On final action items the council opened and closed public comment and adopted Ordinance 26‑09 (final adoption by roll call) and Ordinance 26‑10 (municipal budget appropriation and cap bank explanation) as presented. Later in the meeting the council added Resolution 26‑171, authorizing a settlement agreement between Timothy Duffy and the Borough of Pompton Lakes; a motion, second and roll‑call vote approved the resolution. After that vote the council moved into closed session to discuss personnel and litigation.
The meeting also recorded a request to table a second reading of an affordable‑housing amendment (chapter 190) because the planning‑board review was not in the meeting backup; the council carried that matter to the next meeting pending receipt of the planning‑board paperwork.
No ordinance or resolution in this meeting text was recorded as failing; where roll calls were read aloud, votes were recorded verbally during the meeting transcript.
