You want Ridgewood to enter into a deal with politically corrupt Bergen County Government to save a few dollars ? Aronsohn is hip deep in Bergen County politics and you bash him ever chance you get but yet you want Ridgewood to enter into a deal with the very machine he is part of. You are a hypocrite.

When I call the Ridgewood Police for an emergency I don’t want to be put on hold because of a large incident thats is taken place in another town. Maybe Sedon should do a little more research into what has happen in the past with Bergen County Dispatch and not fall for a sales pitch from a representative from the County . There are just as many municipals that are not going with the County Dispatch. Maybe Sedon should ask them? We all know what happens when the Village hires the lowest bidder. You get what you pay for. Next time your having a medical procedure may you should as for the lowest bidder. Let me know if you fell safe doing that. Finally your comment ” By the way since it’s offered by the county we already do pay for it with our taxes.” This service is not. There are extra charges that go along with that service its not free.

MIDLAND PARK – Two months after entering negotiations with the Ridgewood-based Northwest Bergen Central Dispatch, the Borough Council has changed its mind, voting Thursday, Nov. 6, to “continue negotiations” with representatives of the Bergen County Public Safety Operations Center in Mahwah for emergency and 9-1-1 dispatch services to the borough’s 7,176 residents.

Councilman Mark Braunius made the motion to “continue negotiations” with the center at the end of the meeting. The motion was not listed as an agenda item.

Borough Clerk and Administrator Adeline Hanna then read a statement.

“After much deliberation regarding two very professional, well-run organizations for the service of dispatching our emergency services, the borough of Midland Park has made the decision to form an alliance with the Bergen County Public Safety Operations Center located in the township of Mahwah.”

Officials said the borough expects to pay between $135,000 and $160,000 for county 9-1-1 and emergency dispatch services, which would begin Jan. 1.

“There is a high level of confidence by county authorities that we will be up and running for Jan. 1,” said Mayor Patrick “Bud” O’Hagan. “We are led to believe we will receive [better] services.”
