HILLSDALE -- Becoming a part of the Pascack Joint Municipal Court could save the borough up to $100,000, officials are hoping. The Borough Council this week approved spending $4,200 on a study to determine if merging court services with Montvale, Woodcliff Lake and Park Ridge would be worthwhile. The borough could see savings of $75,000 to $100,000 from joining the collective court, Mayor Max Arnowitz said.

PARK RIDGE -- Borough officials are planning to hold a series of meetings with their counterparts in Montvale and Woodcliff Lake to discuss money-saving ways the three towns can share or consolidate services. What we are trying to do is reach out to our neighbors and see what regional solutions are out there for our common problems," said Park Ridge Councilman Gerry Maughan, who approached representatives in Montvale and Woodcliff Lake about the meetings. "I think what we want to do is to begin a dialogue.
MONTVALE A building official accused by council Democrats of falsifying timecards has resigned a move that comes several months after the official filed a $2 million tort claim against the borough. Raymond Dressler, who accused Montvale officials in May of harassment and defamation, stepped down as construction code official last week to take a job as Bergen County parks director, a position that pays $121,000 annually.
Agnes Huff, who helped her husband, a former Montvale mayor, run a pair of borough institutions -- Huff's Ice Cream Bar and the Octagon House restaurant -- died Tuesday at a hospice in Williamsburg, Va. She was 92. The former Agnes Emerick was 6 years old when her family came to Montvale. She married George Huff at age 17.
MONTVALE - The borough will not ask the state to defer part of its annual pension payment or bill residents separately for sewer fees to close a $400,000 budget gap, officials said Wednesday. We discussed it a fair amount last week," Finance Committee Chairman Timothy Lane said Wednesday of the pension deferral during a budget meeting. "We certainly heard from the public, and, I think, none of us were crazy about the idea of just deferring this with an additional 8 1/2 percent cost on top of it in future years.
WOODCLIFF LAKE The Planning Board this week unanimously approved the building of a senior housing project that will sit in Montvale and part of the borough but only after a business agreed to shut its doors.

Hovnanian, receives its building permit and starts construction.
MONTVALE -- The borough should consider van pooling as part of a pilot program for corporation employees, according to a recently released consultant's report on commuting alternatives for workers in the region. The vans are relatively inexpensive to lease and maintain and can be customized to fit riders' needs, and employees can receive a tax benefit by using TransitChek to cover commuting costs, the report by Rutherford-based Meadowlink said.
NJ Transit officials will meet with representatives from Montvale and Park Ridge to discuss how their train operations affect traffic flow and emergency responses in the borough's downtowns, municipal officials said.
