West Caldwell could be ready to break ground on improvements to Memorial Park on March 1, Councilman Stanley Hladik said Tuesday night. Hladik, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, said he expects the project to go out to bid in early February and to be “shovel ready” by the start of March, if the weather permits. The first phase of improvements to the township park includes replacing playground equipment, installing new fences and adding lighting to the baseball fields. Hladik said he expects the new playground to be ready in early spring, and the fields to be completed in time for the upcoming baseball season.

Storm expenses will be paid for by emergency appropriation. Township will be reimbursed by FEMA.
The West Caldwell Council will vote later this month for an emergency appropriation to cover expenses incurred from Superstorm Sandy. Overtime pay for borough employees, the cost of grinding debris and other expenses from the Oct. 29 storm will be covered by the appropriation, according to Councilman Stan Hladik, chair of the Finance Committee.

Essex County Surrogate Judge Theodore N. Stephens II deals in family law and more.
When campaigning for his position last year, Essex County Surrogate Judge Theodore N. Stephens II heard the same question over and over from residents, "What the heck is a surrogate?" Stephens recounted this when he made a presentation about his responsibilities at the West Caldwell Council conference meeting last week. The Surrogate Office, Stephens explained, administers in family law matters, specifically in the areas of wills, estates and trusts, as well as processes adoptions, assigns guardianships and manages a minor's intermingled trust fund. While Stephens said some events before his court are happy occasions, such as adoptions, "People are always anxious of the court results." To help alleviate some of the stress, Stephens said …

Both residential and commercial businesses addressed in amended ordinance.
West Caldwell’s amended property maintenance ordinance has more “teeth,” Councilman Thomas O'Hern said at Tuesday night’s council meeting. According to the ordinance, the township can now take action on a property at the owner’s expense if the owner does not address violations within 10-days of being notified. While “99 percent” of property owners address concerns brought up by the township, Councilman O’Hern, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the revised ordinance is for the remaining one percent. If a property owner does not "cut, remove or otherwise abate brush, weeds, or other plant life, obnoxious growth, filth, garbage, trash, refuse, or debris" within a 10-day period from the time of notification, the ordinance states, …

From what I know of the pools, Westville hasn't been updated since the '70s. Instead of demolishing one pool, just give both of them an upgrade. Build new bathrooms at Westville (they are so gross now), a new snack bar, re-pave the parking lot, and redo the picnic area so people don't have to walk on pine needles and pine cones to and from the pool. And maybe give the badge ladies a new table to … more ›
