Ridgewood NJ, If you want more details on how the Library renovation discussion has evolved over time… past Library Board minute excerpts:
* Minute excerpts from 2015… Reissue of Architectural Schematics RFP Ms. Greene reported: Ms. Greene recapped that in late summer 2014 the Library issued an RFP for architectural schematics and received proposals from three architects. At the October 2014 meeting, the Board authorized the use of up to $70,000 from Library reserve funds to select an architect.
” Is there a possibility that the owners are tired of paying for their cars and deliberately “conveniently forget” the key fobs and possessions left in the car? Maybe they are like the “self-centered ass” who either figure “it will never happen to me” Or “who cares, I have insurance”. People have been reminded often enough to do the correct procedures which usually can keep their cars in safety to still have people who accidentally “forget” in the vast number of robberies we are currently seeing! “

” High density housing is pitched as some great humanitarian effort of sorts, but in reality is nothing more than exploitation of the poor and of a communities resources, for the profit of an outside interest (a corporation, investors/developers etc.) That profit will be dangled in front of your counsel members, commissioners and elected officials, and they will be corrupted by it, selling their community off for personal monetary gain. Communities must come together to support & educate each other in order to say NO to these proposals and not be fooled by the smoke & mirrors sales pitch story of housing shortage and increased revenues. “

Ridgewood NJ, As another academic year begins throughout New Jersey, recognizing and reporting school-related threats remains of critical importance to the safety of students, faculty, and parents. NJOHSP and the New Jersey Department of Education recently sent a letter to administrators urging them to emphasize the seriousness of school-related threats and the concerns and consequences surrounding them. Recent mass shootings over the summer in Gilroy, California; El Paso, Texas; and Dayton, Ohio; coupled with the aftermath of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February 2018, are unfortunate reminders that schools must remain vigilant in reporting suspicious activity.
Once reported, this information is immediately shared among local, county, State, and federal authorities. The statewide information-sharing process through the New Jersey Suspicious Activity Reporting System allowed for an in-depth analysis on the changing trends in threats and tactics affecting New Jersey, finding that social media remains a pervasive method used by juveniles and students to convey school threats.All threats, including those directed at schools, should be reported immediately to local authorities and NJOHSP’s CTWatch desk at 1-866-4-SAFE-NJ or [email protected].
