Borough of Pompton Lakes
Calendar 2014-2015
Information & Reference Guide
Emergency Prepare & Recover Insert
Greetings To All The Residents Of Pompton Lakes!
Our 2014-2015 calendar provides information for town events, meetings and services that are offered to the
residents of Pompton Lakes. This has been a busy year and displayed throughout the calendar are some of
the accomplishments we as the Governing Body have achieved. During the year a pocket park was designed for
the gateway in the south end of town, the Cahill Memorial that pays tribute to a fallen firefighter has been
refurbished by the Fire Department, and a photo contest sponsored by the PRIDE Committee portrayed spectacular
views of our lake.
As we began the New Year several presentations were provided during Council Meetings. Consultants for the
Business Improvement District provided an in depth analysis which focused on redevelopment concepts within
the business community. The BID, along with the Council is committed to the revitalization of our downtown area
and the formation of a Redevelopment Agency has commenced. NJ Global Advisors Smoke Free enlightened us to
the benefits of smoke free parks. The Environmental and Resource Management Agent for Essex/Passaic offered
assistance with storm water management control as well as provided educational programs.
Our annual events such as the VFW Memorial Day Parade, the Little League Parade, the Chamber of Commerce
Car Show and Holiday Stroll are well attended and demonstrate the spirit of the community. Our Recreation
Department also hosts various events during the year and provides a variety of activities for all age groups. This
year Recreation will host the Tenth Annual Pompton Day, which has something for everyone.
The youth of Pompton Lakes continue to amaze me!!! When we think of volunteers it is only natural that we
think of our adult residents, but in Pompton Lakes our youth is a viable part of the make up of our volunteers. Very
often when I attend an event I witness the generosity and kindness of this young generation such as collecting
and wrapping holiday gifts for local residents as well as Toys for Tots, serving food and dancing with the seniors
at the Annual Senior Luncheon, or just lending a helping hand for someone in need. Three of our Pompton Lakes
High School students designed and maintain an APP on Pompton Lakes services, events and businesses. The
Borough is always honored to welcome home those young residents who volunteered to serve our country and
were stationed over seas.

yearly for high school students and provides guidance as well as raises awareness of how government functions.
The Pompton Lakes Municipal Alliance continues its commitment to provide programs to educate and promote
awareness for the prevention of alcoholism and drug abuse. Our Teen Center strives to coordinate activities for
Middle and High School students.
Over the past six years as Mayor of Pompton Lakes I have had the privilege of attending ceremonies that honor
and acknowledge the achievements bestowed upon our youth. Eagle Scout Awards and Gold Awards are achieved
through meritorious service, clubs assist the community through their good will and actions, sport organizations
provide the opportunity for sportsmanship and team playing, and church groups organize food and clothing drives
for those less fortunate.
The youth energize our community with inspiration and the Borough is committed to investing in our young people,
for they are the leaders of tomorrow.
As always my thanks to everyone who strives to make our community such a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

The Pompton Lakes Volunteer Fire Department was founded in 1895 and
incorporated in 1901. We have continually served the residents of Pompton
Lakes for 113 years. In 1963, a monument was erected at the intersection of
Hamburg Turnpike and Center Street to honor all Pompton Lakes firefighters.
On May 14, 1974, Pompton Lakes volunteer firefighter Raymond Cahill was killed
while fighting a basement fire in a commercial building on Hamburg Turnpike. It
was the first time that Pompton Lakes experienced a Line of Duty Death.
Firefighter Cahill left two children, aged 9 and 15. In 1975, the triangular area
around the monument was dedicated as Cahill Square as an everlasting memorial
to our brother firefighter.
This year, the PLFD replaced
the deteriorating 50-year old
monument with a completely
new design in remembrance of all
of our Pompton Lakes volunteer
firefighters, past and present,
living and deceased. In a solemn
service, the monument was
commemorated on May 18, 2014.

Borough of Pompton Lakes • 25 Lenox Avenue • Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442 • 973-835-0143
Flood Advisory Board
Pompton Lakes MUA
The Flood Advisory Board consists of nine volunteer members appointed by the Mayor. The Board consults with Municipal,
State and Federal agencies to pursue means of mitigating flooding within the Borough. Recent activities included field
assessment of river obstruction conditions, recommendations on priorities for clearing those obstructions, support of
legislation aimed at relief from flooding, and involvement in the usage of land adjacent to or near flood zones.
The Pompton Lakes Municipal Utilities Authority, a separate
Authority from the Borough, is responsible for the Borough’s water
supply, as well as wastewater collection and treatment. Monthly
meetings are held at 6:00pm in the Authority’s Administrative
Building, located at 2000 Lincoln Avenue and are open to the public.
The Borough CRS Coordinators work in conjunction with various Borough agencies to maintain a Class 5 CRS rating for
the Borough. This achievement has resulted in up to a 25% savings in flood insurance premiums. Pompton Lakes was
the first community in the State of New Jersey as well as the Northeast to receive a Class 5 CRS rating.
The Flood Advisory Board meets the fourth Thursday of every month at 7:30pm in the Municipal Council Chambers.
Lake Restoration Committee (PRIDE)
The PRIDE Lake Restoration Committee is a branch of the Flood Advisory
Board and is committed to the care, improvement and management of
our waterways. The Committee is currently focusing on the creation and
implementation of a lake management plan for the long-term sustainability
of Pompton Lake.
Last year’s “Picture Pompton Lake” photo contest
highlighted the shared “pride” of our residents, and will
be repeated this year. For additional information please
“Like” PomptonLakePride on Facebook and click on
the camera to enter or vote for photos.
Paddle with PRIDE will also continue this year, beginning in mid-May, every Tuesday evening
(weather permitting) at approximately 7pm at Lakeside Park. Anyone with a boat and paddle
is invited to join.
The Pompton Lakes MUA
recently completed various
upgrades to Well House
#3. The main electrical
service to the well house
was upgraded from a
240 volt service to 480
volt service. This involved
the replacement of the
JCP&L transformers and
underground
electrical
service lines as well as the replacement of all interior electrical
components and controls which were obsolete. The upgrade will
allow the well to run more efficiently, saving money on electrical
power costs. In addition, the Authority took this opportunity to
replace a majority of the interior piping and valves, which were in
service since 1974.
Pompton Lakes was the winner of the “Best Tasting Drinking Water
Contest” for the State of New Jersey conducted by the New Jersey
Water Association in 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009.
Meetings are the second Monday of each month at the Civic Center, beginning promptly at 7:30 pm.
The Environmental Protection Committee
Like many other groups in the Borough, the Environmental Protection Committee is made up of duly appointed citizen
volunteers. It is the duty of this committee to consider, investigate and over-see matters of environmental importance
and concern. When appropriate, the committee makes recommendations to the Mayor and Council and informs the
public about environmental issues. Because the environment is everywhere, both indoors and outside, this committee
addresses a truly wide variety of topics. Energy conservation, solid waste reduction, re-cycling, pests, invasive species,
rare plants and animals and development impacts all must be considered at one time or another. It is much easier to
plan and protect the environment than it is to clean it up after the fact.
The Environmental Protection Committee also works with and sponsors Clean Community activities. Some of those
activities are purely informational like programs or lectures in the schools. Other activities are more hands-on like our
annual River Clean-Up Day. The River Clean-up program is now scheduled in the fall and volunteers of all ages are
encouraged to participate and help in what ever way they can.
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm in Borough Hall.
Open Space Committee
In 2001, the citizens of Pompton Lakes voted to establish an
Open Space, Park Land and Recreation Trust Fund to acquire
and maintain open space, park land and recreational facilities. In
2002, the Borough established an Open Space Committee to make
recommendations to the Mayor and Council about all manners
of open space issues and in 2003, that Committee produced the
Borough’s first comprehensive Open Space and Recreation Master
Plan. In the time since then, that Committee has continued to work
on open space matters, including open space acquisitions and the
creation of an up-dated version of its planning documents that were
prepared with ANJEC grant assistance in 2012.
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month at 7:30
pm in the Municipal Council Chambers.

emergency that required medical assistance
or the need for police or fire. 9-1-1 operators
are skillfully trained and will remain on the
telephone until everyone is safe. If the person
calling 9-1-1 cannot talk, the operator will
advise him or her to hold the telephone so that
the operator can hear what the emergency
pertains to. It is important for everyone
to memorize pertinent information about
themselves and their family, and , if not at
home, to look for street signs or landmarks.
******IF YOU CALL 9-1-1 BY MISTAKE DO NOT HANG UP******
Stay on the telephone until the operator says it is okay to hang up.

• Not overtake and pass a vehicle that is stopped to permit a pedestrian to
cross the roadway.
• Yield to pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks at an uncontrolled intersection.
• Exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian upon a roadway.

• Yield to drivers at intersections where the pedestrian does not have a green “walk” signal and where drivers have a green signal.

Borough Ordinances may be accessed through the Borough website at
www.pomptonlakesgov.com (Borough Code e-Code 360)
§ 183-15 Seasonal parking
A. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the street, highway or thoroughfare to such a depth that snow removal or plowing is necessary, thus creating
an emergency, it shall be unlawful for any vehicle to be parked on any street in the
Borough of Pompton Lakes. The above parking prohibition shall remain in effect after the
snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently to the extent that parking
will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
B. Upon declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon streets or sections of
streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed. The Chief of Police
or, in his absence, the ranking police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and
direct the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions, accidents,
fire, flood, construction, obstructions or public celebrations dictate or require the
avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic.
Notification that emergency no-parking signs are being or will be posted shall be given
to the operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the
posting of the signs.

Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad
Community Emergency Response Team
700 Ramapo Avenue, Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442 973-835-1480
THE 80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE “MOTHER SQUAD”
The Pompton Lakes First Aid Squad, Inc. is referred to as the “Mother Squad”
as it was the first squad in the area covering calls from Greenwood Lake to Paterson
For the past 80 years, the Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad has responded to
emergency calls and has demonstrated an unwavering dedication to the community.
The Borough of Pompton Lakes acknowledges this wonderful corps of volunteers and
honors both the past and present group of first responders.
The Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad consists of a group of volunteers who
continue to enhance the emergency care they provide to the communities they serve.
The squad responds to approximately 1400 calls per year and most members are
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) certified by the New Jersey Department of
Health. Other members are trained as drivers who drive the ambulance and assist with
patient care and retrieving equipment.
Through the years progress has brought change to the services provided by the Pompton
Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad. EMT’s work in conjunction with paramedics from
local hospitals as well as local emergency rooms, medivac helicopters and regional
trauma centers. A Bicycle EMS Team was formed to assist crowds of people in areas
where roadways are closed during special events such as carnivals or parades, thus
eliminating access to an ambulance. The bicycles are equipped with defibrillators,
airway equipment and oxygen.
The Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad maintains the Passaic County Mass
Casualty Incident/Rehab Truck and Trailer, which were purchased by Passaic County
with Homeland Security funds. The trailer is equipped to manage 50-75 persons who
may become injured during a disaster and includes trauma kits, burn kits, an inflatable
tent with heating and air conditioning equipment and respiratory management kits.
The tow vehicle, a Ford F350 pick up truck is equipped to respond independently of
the trailer and acts as a rehabilitation unit at fires and other emergencies. The truck
includes pop-up shelters, portable heaters, generator, misting fans, chairs and coolers.
The Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad also provides outreach programs to scout
and sport groups and holds special events and participates in local parades.
New members interested in joining the Pompton Lakes/Riverdale First Aid Squad are
required to pass the NJ State EMT course as well as several other courses required
for a basic understanding of operations. Maintaining the NJ State EMT certification
requires members to complete 48 continuing education units every three years. Anyone
interested in becoming a member may call the First Aid Squad at 973-835-1480 or
contact any squad member.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members partner with emergency
management, local government, response agencies and community members. These
volunteers are trained in basic response skills so as to prepare them to assist emergency
responders in the event of any type of disaster. CERT classes train volunteers in basic
response skills so as to be prepared during emergencies as well as prepares them to assist
emergency responders in the event of any type of disaster.
• Core training includes Fire Safety, Disaster Preparedness, First Aid Medical Care and Disaster Psychology, as well as introductions to Fire Safety and Search and Rescue.
• CERT training prepares members to understand and handle potential threats to their home, workplace and community and offers citizens the ability to be prepared, to respond and to cope with the aftermath of a disaster.
• CERT members organize and participate in various drills, periodic refresher courses and education fairs to reinforce the initial basic training and supplement their skills.
• CERT members have assisted during past flooding events and power outages and have been an intricate part of making arrangements for food and shelter for many displaced residents.
• CERT members also assist emergency responders by alerting residents of the
potential of imminent dangers and assisting with evacuations.
CERT is always looking for new members who want to learn how they can help themselves,
their neighbors and their community in a disaster. CERT training is offered on a yearly basis
without any obligation to join the team. Please contact Deborah Ross at [email protected]
for additional information.

Pompton Lakes Historic Preservation Commission
The Pompton Lakes Historic Preservation Commission, which consists of seven commissioners and two alternate members appointed by the Mayor was established by ordinance to
safeguard the heritage of the Borough by preserving resources that reflect elements of its cultural, social, economic and architectural history.
Seventeen properties have currently been designated as historic landmarks and markers indicating the designation have been placed on the properties. Information on these historic
landmarks can be found on the Borough’s website.
The Commission meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7:00PM in the meeting room of the Einstein Memorial Public Library.
Pompton Lakes - A Part of History
Pompton Lakes Women’s Club
On Labor Day, 1914 Pompton Lakes dedicated the Maine Monument. The man who was behind
obtaining the copper ventilator from the battleship as well as building the Memorial was Mayor
Henry G. Hershfield.
The Pompton Lakes Women’s Club provides women the opportunity to enhance
the lives of others in their communities. Organized in 1942, members are enriched
through education, training, and leadership providing the community with volunteer
service and programs. The Club advocates and focuses on Domestic Violence
Awareness and Prevention, Women’s Health Concerns, Baby Well Care, Open Space
Preservation, and Literacy.
Henry Grah Hershfield (1876-1937)
“The Prophet of Pompton Lakes,” as described in one of the memorials in 1937, was born in St.
Louis, Missouri. His parents and grandparents were early pioneers of Kansas and Montana. He
was educated in public schools in Helena, Montana as well as Columbia University in New York
City. A veteran in the Spanish-American War, he also served duty on Indian Reservations. His
career included various jobs including working for the New York “Morning Journal”, lawyer, real
estate and owner and operator of fire insurance offices in New York City and Pompton Lakes. The
Hershfield Agency was located on Wanaque Avenue.
Starting in 1909 he was elected Mayor for four consecutive terms, nominated by both parties.
Through his efforts Pompton Lakes built and operated municipally owned water and electric
light plants. He was one of the organizers and board members of both the First National Bank of
Pompton Lakes as well as the Pompton Lakes Building and Loan Association.
1917 saw his election to the New Jersey Assembly and re-elected seven more times. Assembyman
Hershfield was the author of many laws especially in areas of housing, workman and injury
compensation. In 1920 he was the Republican Leader.
He donated the land at the corner of Passaic Street and Wanaque Avenue that became the Hershfield
Building of the Jewish Community Center of Pompton Lakes (Now an office building).
On the Monday of his funeral the schools and local businesses were closed. The local newspaper,
The Bulletin, said this was “the man who, perhaps more than anyone else, mapped out Pompton
Lakes and established the plans along which the town has been developed.”
Hershfield Park was named in his honor in 1938.
Pompton Lakes Women’s Club members select and participate from a diverse group
of departments that include Arts Creative, Arts Performing, Culinary, Education,
Garden and Conservation, International, Museum and Social Services.
The Club members volunteer for meaningful projects that shine hope for notable
causes. Child Abuse Prevention Month is a statewide campaign to raise awareness
about preventing child abuse with supporting families and children in ways that
promote healthy, safe and nurtured childhoods. The Organization participates
in planting pinwheel gardens in public places symbolizing a happy and carefree
childhood.
A few of the special annual events held by the Women’s Club include the Victorian
Tea to be held on November 15, 2014, Library Tag Day, to be held on October 17th
and 18th, 2014, and the Bunny Breakfast, which was held on March 28, 2014.
Beautification programs include maintaining gardens throughout the Borough with
plantings, the Golden Broom Award presented to businesses that display well kept
store fronts, and the Flower Barrel Contest.
The members archive and preserve the history of Pompton Lakes and support fund
raising for educational endeavors that include scholarships, the public library, and
sponsorships for young women to attend Girls Career Institute at Douglas College.
Some of the outreach programs the club is involved with and support are the UNICEF
program with local schools, collection of attire for the Dress for Success program,
used eyeglasses for New Eyes for the Needy, and cell phones for 911 Cell Phone
Bank. The Club also donates bags of groceries to Shelter Our Sisters, blizzard bags
for Meals on Wheels, tray favors to Chilton Hospital and cookies to nursing homes.
Get involved, volunteer, and become member! The Club cordially invites local women
to attend the Pot Luck Dinner Meeting on October 2nd to discover the benefits of
becoming a member. Meetings are held at 7:00pm at the Christ Episcopal Church,
400 Ramapo Avenue, Pompton Lakes on the first Thursday of the month, October
through June. For further information please contact Jo-Ann Sisco (973-835-3508)
/ Kathy Troast (973-839-1137) or [email protected].
