Heights' Youth Council Takes Over Town Government Tuesday

High school students take part in Youth Week Council

This Tuesday night the governing body will take a back seat for a bit letting the members of the Youth Week council take over presiding over the council meeting.

Every May, Hasbrouck Heights High School take part in this excercise which teaches them all about local government. The students take over borough roles and get to shadow their respective borough official or employee.

Kevin O'Leary will serve as "mayor" on Tuesday shadowing Mayor Rose Heck. Other students will serve as Borough Clerk, Borough Administrator, council members, and other department heads.

The regular council meeting will follow the special Youth Week one where business includes several appointments, one for the fire department, three to the Community Awareness Access for All Committee and one to the Zoning Board.

The borough council is also expected to take steps towards authorizing work to be done to improve a project that has been in the works for some time.
