Mayor James Barsa’s Week in Review Week Ending: 9/19/26 Message from the Mayor We are one short week away from Norwood Day 2026 and I can’t wait to see our community come together for one of our favorite days of the year. Join me at Kennedy Field on Saturday, September 26th, starting at 1pm, for a day filled with fun, food, music, and activities for the whole family. Southern Steel will be performing live, along with a DJ, to keep the music going throughout the day. We’ll have plenty of food vendors, including a beer garden, and the Norwood Fire Department will keep the tradition going of serving up hot dogs. All of your favorites will be back, including the petting zoo, pony rides, trackless train, rock wall, inflatables, mobile gaming van and a new section featuring outdoor games. Due to the unfortunate storms that rolled through on the 4th of July, we were unable to set off our fireworks that night. We wouldn’t be Norwood if we did not have our annual fireworks show. This year it’s just a few months later than normal. We will end the celebration with our fireworks show starting at 8pm. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at Kennedy Field next Saturday.

I have spoken with our CFO/Tax Collector who has assured me that the issue with our tax bills has been resolved. Please see the below statement from our CFO/Tax Collector for detailed information.

On the morning of July 13, 2026, the Tax Collector's Office discovered that an error had occurred in the recent mailing of the 2026 third quarter estimated property tax bills. Due to an error during the printing process, 2025 third quarter estimated tax bills were mailed instead of the 2026 third quarter bills.

The Borough's online tax payment system was not affected by this error. The tax payment information available through the Borough's website reflects the correct 2026 third quarter tax amounts and remains available for residents wishing to make payments electronically. Property owners whose taxes are paid through a mortgage escrow account will not be affected by this mailing error.
The Tax Collector's Office will soon be mailing the final 2026/2027 tax bills. We anticipate that this year's final tax bills will be mailed during the week of July 20, 2026.

Residents who received the previously mailed estimated third quarter tax bill should disregard that mailing and instead refer to the final 2026/2027 tax bill upon receipt.
To ensure that no taxpayer is adversely affected by this error, the Borough will extend the grace period for payment of the third quarter 2026 property taxes to a date that is at least twenty-five (25) days after the certified mailing of the final tax bills, in accordance with applicable law. The applicable grace period date will be clearly printed on the final tax bill, and payments received on or before that date will not incur interest.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused and appreciate the patience and understanding of our residents.
2 months ago, Borough of Norwood
The Borough is aware of the error that has been identified on the recently issued tax bills. Please know that our Tax Collector is actively reviewing the matter to determine the cause and identify the appropriate next steps. We understand that residents may have questions, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while this issue is being investigated. As soon as additional information becomes available, the Borough will provide an update and share any necessary guidance with our residents. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

On Wednesday, July 29th, from 1pm-6pm, the American Red Cross will be conducting a blood drive in the community center. Walk ins are welcome though reservations are preferred. To register for a timeslot please visit the website for the American Red Cross at www.redcrossblood.org.

While our 4th of July celebration and acknowledgement of the 250th anniversary of America did not go as planned due to the severe weather, protecting the safety of our residents, visitors and staff was my top priority and I feel I made the right decision to cancel the festivities. The 250th anniversary of our country is a milestone that celebrates our nation’s history and the sacrifices made for our freedom. We look forward to a fantastic fireworks show that will take place on Norwood Day, September 26th, and that will honor this historic occasion. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our Norwood Police Department, DPW, Fire Department, and EMS for their assistance with the event. I would also like to thank them for responding to the many emergency calls which resulted from the intense weather conditions that developed quickly. And as always thank you to our residents for your patience and understanding.

Mayor & Council Meeting Update
On Wednesday evening we approved a resolution hiring another part-time senior van driver as part of the shared service agreement with Northvale. This will open up more opportunities to transport our seniors to events at the Norwood and Northvale community centers, shopping trips to various stores in the surrounding towns, and more availability for doctor’s appointments. The schedule will be finalized soon and all ride requests can be made through the Norwood Clerk’s Office.

I am pleased to share that after many discussions our proposed tree ordinance is nearly complete. Members from both sides took the time to review the ordinance independently, then came together to discuss their concerns and find common ground. That collaborative effort resulted in a draft that everyone involved can feel confident moving forward with. I was, however, disappointed to learn of comments made on social media by Councilwoman Hausmann. Specifically, the claim that Borough employees were not properly processing tree removal applications and were instead placing them in a drawer. This is simply false and misleading. Our Borough employees work diligently every day to serve our residents with professionalism, integrity, and dedication. They are the backbone of our community and play an essential role in keeping our town running smoothly and efficiently. They deserve our support and respect, not unfounded accusations that undermine the important work they do. As elected officials, we may not always agree, but we all have a responsibility to work together respectfully and present accurate information to the public. Unity and collaboration are what allow us to move forward, and I remain committed to that approach. Overall, it was a great meeting, and I am encouraged by the progress we made. After one final discussion of the draft ordinance, I am hopeful we will then be ready to introduce the ordinance.

The capital budget requests made by our department heads were reviewed with the council. After reviewing the submitted list and having a discussion to better understand the need for the purchases, the necessary items for this year were approved.

The good news is that the fireworks have been rescheduled for Norwood Day on Saturday, September 26th.

As the school year comes to an end, I would like to thank all of our teachers at NPS for another wonderful year. We are extremely fortunate to have a group of teachers who care for our children and go above and beyond every day, while providing the highest level of education.

Congratulations to our NPS 8th grade graduates and the seniors at NVOT who will be moving on to their next chapters.
