Residents Sought for Township Committee Assignments

Recently Mayor-elect James Damiano requested that residents who want to serve on a Township Ad-Hoc Committee should email their name, phone number and email address to Cynthia Kraus, Township Clerk: ckraus@lfnj.com for consideration.

The following is a list of the Ad-Hoc Committees seeking participants: Domestic Violence, Open Space, Passaic River Advisory, Planning and Zoning, Public Safety, Senior Advisory Committee, Technology, Transportation and Wildlife Management.

 

Mayor-elect James Damiano's request is a positive indication of his commitment to increase residents engagement in Township affairs.

 

At the same time there is a need to establish a criterion for the selection and assignment of residents to serve on these Committees.

 

The following criteria should be considered:

 

1)  No individual shall be assigned to more than two Ad-Hoc Committees,

 

2)  Residents shall be assigned to Ad-Hoc Committees as individuals and not as representatives of an organization or interest group, and

 

3)  All Ad-Hoc Committee appointees shall be required to complete a financial disclosure statement to provide transparency regarding their financial dealings and to ensure the public of their integrity with respect to possible conflicts of interest.

 

With the installation in January of Mayor-elect Mayor James Damiano, and Council members-elect, Maria Cordonnier and Anthony Sgobba, Little Falls residents can expect new government policies and procedures from our new leaders.

 

The Gadfly will be watching and commenting on the changes in future blogs.
