Members of Ridgewood’s governing body will begin interviewing candidates this month in an effort to fill the village’s top administrative post, with the first of four special meetings scheduled for Monday, Nov. 25.
Ridgewood has been operating without a full-time village manager since Aug. 31, when the Village Council terminated Ken Gabbert from that position. Village Clerk Heather Mailander has been serving as the acting village manager since Sept. 1.
The village manager acts as Ridgewood’s chief executive and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the municipality. Duties of note include overseeing the village’s $45 million municipal budget and approving various personnel hiring and promotion decisions.
More than 50 individuals submitted résumés for consideration, and the council is still determining which of the applicants will be interviewed.
“All council members have reviewed each and every rĂ©sumĂ©, and all council members are working together to determine which candidates are interviewed. It’s a completely collaborative process,” Mayor Paul Aronsohn said.

Lets hire a professional, not a politician. Its also preferable to make it a requirement that the manager reside within the Village (or move here within 6 months of hiring)
Sure #1. They will do that. As long as said professional is someone’s cousin, brother / sister in law, or fraternity brother / sorority sister.
Or has ties with a developer who will pay to play.
BF has a friends and family hiring policy
Applicants for this position should be registered Democrats with no scruples and an established history of political contributions to party hacks. In other words, don’t apply unless you are an FOA.
Watch how many time our Carpetbagger Mayor invokes TRANSPARENCY in this process and all the time he has a friend in the area of Lincoln Ave that he is going to pick
they have the new manager ,it;s done. this is just a show. come on .
will he or she be the new lap dog.
North Irving!
