Glen Ridge Extends Property Tax Deadline and Names Acting Public Safety Director

The Glen Ridge Mayor and Council meeting addressed several key issues, starting with an extension of the property tax deadline due to COVID-19. Residents were given until June 1, 2020, to pay their second-quarter property taxes without penalty, though interest would still accrue from the original May 1 due date. This adjustment aimed to provide financial relief during the pandemic.

The council also approved Chief Sheila Byron-Lagattuta as the Acting Director of Public Safety, a role she will assume immediately. This appointment ensures continuity in public safety leadership while the town navigates ongoing challenges.

Additionally, Councilor Morrow reminded residents to complete the 2020 census, emphasizing its importance for local funding and representation. The census can be submitted online or by mail, with no other major ordinances or spending decisions on the agenda.

What to watch

• The June 1 deadline for property tax payments (if residents need to act before then).
