ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS In its latest challenge to affordable housing mandates, the borough has filed to invalidate a settlement that was years in the making.
In the paperwork filed in Superior Court in Bergen County on Friday, Borough Attorney Eric Bernstein requests that Judge Christine Farrington declare that former council members Deborah Tsabari and Ed Aversa had conflicts of interest in the litigation.
The filing seeks to void all council votes at the Oct. 4, 2020, and Jan. 10, 2019, meetings and void any settlement agreements with the Fair Share Housing Center and Normandy Real Estate Partners, the developer looking to build on the former Unilever campus at 800 Sylvan Ave.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS The borough is suing its former IT professional, claiming it failed to archive official emails and was fraudulent and negligent.
The suit filed late last month claims that Intrep Solutions, which started working in the borough in 2012, and owner Cameron Arabi led officials to believe the official email server had archived emails, which was not the case.
According to the suit, the borough shifted to Microsoft Office in 2017 and Arabi was made a global administrator to the account to give him the “appropriate authority” and make sure that emails were archived and that he could conduct audit logs for security purposes.
