From the desk of the Mayor
On behalf of the Mayor and Council, I would like to wish our residents a Happy and Healthy New Year. We are very excited for what is ahead in
2020!
In 2018 and 2019 we were able to pass a budget with a 0% municipal tax increase while still allocating additional funding for infrastructure,
making significant improvements to our recreational facilities, increasing the amount of Police officers, providing our emergency services with the
tools they need to succeed and much more. We believe that by continuing to make the right investments in Fair Lawn, our community will continue
to thrive.
Improvements continue at Memorial Pool, which has seen a significant increase in membership. The 2020 season includes the addition of a new
splash park and the beginning stages of a new Administration building. We will also be making improvements at Dobrow Complex and LaPoff Park.
Moving forward, we will be reviewing one different playground and sports field each year to make sure Fair Lawn continues to have some of the best recreation facilities in the County.
Additional improvements in pedestrian safety are also slated for 2020, with the addition of three new rectangular rapid flashing beacons within the Borough and three new crosswalks
on Morlot Avenue. Increased funding has been allocated for road resurfacing and we look forward to getting those projects started in the spring of 2020.
I want to thank our Borough employees, whose work and commitment ensures the Borough continues to run smoothly, and recognize the dedicated service and advocacy of our many
resident volunteers. Fair Lawn is also blessed to have dedicated first responders – Police, Fire, Rescue and Ambulance- who give selflessly to protect and serve our residents.
Lastly, I want to thank you – our residents – for making the important decision to choose Fair Lawn as your home. Collectively you make our Borough a diverse, interesting and caring
place to live. It has been a pleasure for the Council and I to work with you this past year and hear your thoughts on how we can make Fair Lawn an even greater community. Your input
is sincerely appreciated.
Best regards,
Kurt Peluso, Mayor

Important Information
Solutions to Stormwater Pollution
WHAT IS STORMWATER POLLUTION?
Water from rain and melting snow that flows over lawns, parking lots and streets is known as stormwater runoff. This water, which travels along gutters, into catch
basins and through storm drain pipes and ditches, usually is not treated, but then flows or is discharged into local waterbodies. Along the way, the stormwater picks
up trash (fast-food wrappers, cigarette butts, styrofoam cups, etc.) and toxins and other pollutants (gas, motor oil, antifreeze, fertilizers, pesticides and pet droppings).
This polluted stormwater can kill fish and other wildlife, destroy wildlife habitat, contaminate drinking water sources and force the closing of beaches because of
health threats to swimmers.
Human activity is largely responsible for the stormwater pollution. Everything that we put on the ground or into the storm drain can end up in our water. Each of us
has a responsibility to make sure these contaminants stay out of our water. Whether we have clean water is up to you.
Limit your use of fertilizers and Don't feed wildlife
pesticides Don't litter
Properly use and dispose of Dispose of yard waste properly
hazardous products
Keep pollution out of storm drains
Clean up after your pet
For more information on stormwater related topics, visit www.cleanwaternj.org, www.njstormwater.org or www.nonpointsource.org. Additional
information is also available at U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Web sites: www.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater or www.epa.gov/nps

June Events
Cat License Renewals
Cat License Renewals are now due. Cats over 6 months must be licensed. Visit www.fairlawn.org/animalcontrol for licensing
requirements and cost or call 201-794-5327.
Pet owners are reminded to clean up fecal waste promptly after their pet defecates on private and public property to prevent a public
nuisance. Feeding of pets should not be done outdoors since they may attract rodents, wildlife, stray cats and insect problems. Feeding
of stray cats is prohibited as it promotes exposure to cats that may carry rabies. Dog owners are reminded that a dog barking longer than
10 minutes is considered a noise disturbance, which can result in a summons to court.
For animal complaints contact the Fair Lawn Police Department at 201-796-1400. www.fairlawn.org/animalcontrolJune 2020
