MAYOR DANIELE FEDE
MAYOR'S MESSAGE

It is an honor to serve as your Mayor and lead our fine and giving community. I will continue our efforts to make strides to make a healthy, safe and vibrant place for our residents. I welcome all residents and community groups to join in these efforts. Feel free to call or email me with ideas, projects and concerns as you have done in my past two years of my Mayorship. Your contributions make our community an inclusive and diverse place to live.

I hope that you can navigate this website quickly, and if there are any services that you require or think should be included on the website, press the contact button below and I will make sure that it is addressed.

The Mayor and Council will continue to use and explore grant opportunities, improve our aging infrastructure which is a constant challenge, and find ways to complete the open-space projects. Veterans’ Park improvements are now complete. The recreation center is under construction, and planning is in place for the tennis, pickleball and basketball courts in Olsen Park. The athletic complex is a testament to our commitment to the wellbeing of our community. Community walking groups are enjoying the track.

We will continue our sustainable practices and I am proud of our Tree City USA designation for over 20 years as well as our Sustainable Jersey bronze certification. I am very proud of the services that the Police Department provides for our public safety, the Department of Public Works and all the services that it provides, including keeping our roads clear, removing leaves and taking care of Borough buildings. We cherish our first responders who train, volunteer and help with our commitment to public safety.

I look forward to hearing from any volunteers that wish to serve on boards, committees or special projects. Kindly provide a copy of your resume or letter of interest to the Clerk, and we will see if there are any openings to fit your interests.

I hope to see you at one of the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign events and at our community events. Bogota has made history in electing its first female mayor, and I have worked tirelessly to govern and support as many events as I can. I appreciate the support that has been given to me by the community.

Sincerely,

Daniele Fede, Mayor of Bogota

A Letter to the Residents of Bogota from Municipal Clerk Yenlys Flores-Bolivard

January 16, 2026

My final day in Bogota as Municipal Clerk marks the close of a ten-year chapter a role that has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

As Bogota's first Latina Municipal Clerk, I have had the privilege of strengthening our municipal operations, advancing civic engagement, and fostering community pride. I may not claim to be the best Municipal Clerk in Bergen County, but I am proud to have been the best for Bogota. Together, we have achieved milestones worth celebrating. Bogota claimed first place in the Bergen County Christmas Tree Competition. We launched the Borough's first educational election program at Bogota High School, inspiring students to embrace civic responsibility and encouraging them to participate by working during elections. We brought beauty to our streets through tulip plantings and promoted healthy choices with our October Drug-Free program. We led the way as one of the first municipalities to digitize borough records. And we came together for a referendum election that improved facilities for our children a moment I remain deeply proud to have been part of.

I leave knowing Bogota is stronger, more engaged, and ready for the future. My deepest gratitude goes to our residents, to former mayors and our current Mayor our first female Mayor Fede to all Council members past and present, to borough employees, to our administrators past and present, to our Bogota Police Department, Bogota Fire Department, Bogota Rescue Squad, Bogota OEM, Friends of the Bogota Library, our DPW, and all municipal staff. To the Bergen County Municipal Clerks Association, the Bergen County Clerk's Office, and our county partners you made this work possible.

The experience, lessons, and relationships built over this decade have shaped who I am both professionally and personally. They will guide me in whatever comes next.

Ten years ago, I walked through those doors with a dream. Today, I leave having lived that dream and so much more. Bogota didn't just give me a career it gave me a purpose, a community, and a family.

Bogota is more than a place I served. It is a community I am proud to call home. This chapter may be closing, but the legacy we built together of service, progress, and pride will endure. I step forward inspired, prepared, and profoundly grateful.

Thank you, Bogota, for ten unforgettable years. You will forever be home to my heart.

Thank you, Bogota

Red Ribbon Week Gathering - A Beautiful Success

On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, our Borough kicked off Red Ribbon Week with a meaningful gathering at Borough Hall, hosted by the Clerk's Office under the leadership of Borough Clerk Yenlys Flores-Bolivard.

Together We Planted Hope

Mayor Fede, members of the Council, and borough employees gathered on the front lawn of Borough Hall to plant tulip bulbs—living symbols of growth, renewal, and our commitment to wellness and positive choices during National Prevention and Awareness Month.

A Sea of Red

All attendees dressed in red to represent strength and wellness, and we captured this beautiful moment of solidarity in a commemorative group photo.

Thank You

Heartfelt gratitude to Borough Clerk Yenlys Flores-Bolivard for organizing this event, and a special thank you to Angelica Rodriguez for her dedication and partnership. To Mayor Fede, members of the Council, and all Borough employees who joined us—your presence demonstrated our Borough's commitment to healthy, mindful living.

Come spring, the tulips we planted together will bloom as living reminders of our strength and dedication to wellness.
