Tenafly Not Sure Yet How To Pay For Eruv Suit Settlement

Tenafly - The borough will decide next week how it will pay a settlement reached in a legal battle over an eruv issue.

The mayor said that the council is expected to approve using cash reserves for a portion of the $325,000 in legal fees to the Tenafly Eruv Association and the borough's insurance will cover one-third, or about $110,000, of the amount and the remaining $215,000 will come from tax reserves that the borough routinely sets aside, but "It will not affect taxes," he said.

From the start of the lawsuit until the borough voted to allow the eruv in January, the borough has spent about $200,000 in legal fees..
