In the wake of November's store vandalism, members of Highland Park's Jewish community packed the council chambers on December 6, in the body's first public session since September. Community leaders and representatives expressed thanks to municipal authorities, particularly to the police, for the prompt investigation and arrest in the case. Steven Rizco, Chief of Police, was in attendance.
Among the 21 resolutions approved during the session, mayor-elect Councilmember Gary Minkoff sponsored a designation of November 29 as the borough's Religious Tolerance observance.
