Wyckoff officials slated to create Access for All Committee Wednesday

The Wyckoff Township Committee is scheduled to create a new Access for All Committee at a business meeting Tuesday night. The committee would work to “address the issues of access“ in the township.

Officials will vote on a resolution establishing the volunteer committee.

“Despite the great strides that our employees and residents with disabilities have made with the benefits of the Americans with Disabilities Act, barriers continue to exist that deny equal access to employment as well as public and private facilities,” the resolution states.

The new committee will work with the Township Committee to ”address the issue of access” in Wyckoff.

A resident with a disability, parent of a child with a disability, or the caregiver of a family member with a disability, Mayor Kevin Rooney, a Township Committee member, the Police Department’s emergency management coordinator, and representatives from the Wyckoff Volunteer Fire Department, Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Clergy Association, and business community, among others, will serve on the committee.

The business meeting will be held beginning at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the municipal courtroom.
