STEVE VERP'S BLOG


DEMAREST DAY was terrific and didn't cost the taxpayers a thing-all services were donated including the fireworks! Thanks to all the volunteers and Englewood Hospital.

Demarest lost a great citizen-Don Wiggers

While the firehouse was cited for several potential OSHA violations for the building structure, equipment condition and safety procedures, Chief Jim Bailey and the firefighters worked hard at addressing all of the issues and The Fire Department passed the OSHA inspection with flying colors. A job well done by the firemen.  
Given the cut in state aid and mandate to limit real property tax increases, hats off to Melinda Iannuzzi, head of the Budget Committee for proposing and passing a fiscally conservative and prudent budget. The negotiating skills of Mayor Carroll and Bill Connelly and the concessions made by our loyal employees contributed to the budget process coming together, without sacrificing municipal services and without compromising the safety of our citizens.
Best, Steve
