Ridgewood NJ , Several residents in the area of South Monroe Street and Washington Place reported to The Ridgewood Blog’s tip hotline that a vehicle displaying markings of RIDGEWOOD WATER was being used by Ms. Tracy Jeffrey, the Village’s new Code Enforcement Officer. Ms. Jeffrey was observed issuing written leaf collection policy warnings late this week to residents in leaf pick up area “D.”

Vehicles assigned to RIDGEWOOD WATER employees are paid for with revenues generated from RIDGEWOOD WATER subscribers. A pending lawsuit by the municipalities of Glen Rock, Midland Park, and Wyckoff suggests that the Village of Ridgewood is improperly using these revenues to support operations exclusive to the Village of Ridgewood. Ms. Jeffrey’s use of a RIDGEWOOD WATER vehicle may be a case in point. At least two of the tipsters who left messages on The Ridgewood Blog tip hotline questioned the connection, if any, Ms. Jeffrey’s code enforcement work has with RIDGEWOOD WATER.
What are your thoughts?
You can’t make it up. This Village hasn’t learned.
Use her own car.
You cannot make this up is right. Our so-called “manager” cannot manage a damn thing. Can’t she learn from previous mistakes? We already know you cannot use water department funds for strictly Ridgewood expenses. Duh, Roberta, how many times do you have to put our Village at risk of lawsuits and fines?????
people the manager and her lap dog’s are sending this town right the hill, but look at the bright side of things. in the spring we will have a new vote. so hang on and have some new fun.
Yes and the 3 Amigos will win reelection by 2/3 vote just the the garage. Wishful thinking 3:04
12;57 Right on. Village Manager, Roberta Sonenfeld has to be fired. Her chronic ass backwards processes and habitual lying is costing taxpayers a fortune.
3:30 – We will not let that happen. They will be history. Let’s just hope we can delay the start of the garage, the high density housing, the Schedler 90-foot field, the business at Habernickel, and all their other ridiculous projects until they are GONE
There is no excuse for a VOR code enforcer officer to use a Ridgewood Water truck. Does she believe she is above the law. It is just crazy!! Interestingly, I just got a summons from the VOR, signed by Tracy Jeffery for leaves being on the street prior to pick up. I have lived in Ridgewood for 22 years and my landscaper has been putting the leaves out on Wednesdays for just as long. Why is this an issue now!!?
OMG!!!!
Our landscaper said “Tracy is an unconscionable bitch”. Hey Tracey – you’re a public servant. You report to us and we’re your “boss”. Don’t ever forget that.
