West Orange Council President Victor Cirilo’s twice-postponed trial on drunken driving charges is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 5 p.m. in Verona, court officials said Tuesday morning.

A resolution to amend the July 2011 contract for the installation of hi-tech equipment in police vehicles, as well as several other debt-related issues, dominated the conversation at last week's township council meeting. The council discussed modifying the electronic ticketing payment contract for the ten upgraded police cars so that the 809 tickets issued prior to December 31 could count toward the 10,000-ticket minimum for 2012.

"I'm pleased that the council president put it on the agenda and I'm pleased my fellow council …

There has been another armed robbery in West Orange.
