Hiring of new Ridgewood Village Manager in Jeopardy?

Budget Meeting Copy
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, during Thursday evening’s Ridgewood Village Council Budget Meeting, Mayor Paul Vagianos said this about the likelihood of hiring a new Village Manager:  “I don’t know if we’re going to be able to find someone for the number we have plugged in.” Translation = Whatever salary the Village has budgeted for the position, isn’t likely to attract a qualified candidate.

Ain’t that a kick in the butt. The “normals” summarily fire Heather Mailander, but don’t have enough money budgeted to hire a qualified replacement. What a bunch of idiots. The staff of The Ridgewood Blog just could not make something like this up, no matter how hard we tried!

    1. You are referring to Ridgewood voters…. correct?

  2. It’s all part of the con

  3. Wink-wink

  4. no amount of money…..

  5. Oh. My. God. Vagianos is really something.

  6. That’s a $300,000 job. With all the stress, aggravation hours, responsibility and the size of the town 200,000+ benefits that come with that job, and a vehicle it’s not worth it.

    1. This would seem to have been written by someone who was offered the job but declined it for the reasons he/she listed. Who could that be?

      1. it could be Ramon

    2. Who the hell appointed VA Jay Jay? Shifty council for sure. Thankfully I did not vote for any current ones

  7. Maybe they’ll end up begging her to stay.

  8. Reportedly, the budgeted amount is $240k-$260k.

  9. For $200K, benefits, and a 1-mile drive to work then I’ll take it.

    You can yell at me all you want.

  10. The Parking Garage was a Boondoggle from Day 1 .

    Covids Anti commute Syndrome excuse wears off this year.

    Less people commute every Day but still the GARAGE Bondoggle has to be paid for likely in taxes and General Fees.

    We should sell the Dam thing at a loss and take our punches in one Round

    1. knock it down

  11. Someone said mustache boy would love it.
    Can you imagine that ass in that position.

  12. Unreal
    Send cover letter and resume to Heather.

  13. If you have a credentials that job is not worth it. Everything is in your lap. How much was Heather making to do her clerks job plus the village managers job. If you’re stating that they budget up to 260,000 a managers job how much does the Clark’s job pay, she must be making 375

  14. They’ll find some fool to take the job. And then two or three is out the door, we told you they should hire someone to replace the manager and police chief, and give them a title of commander see how that works. But you have to pay.

  15. This is amazing, morale must be in the toilet, you Gotta, be a real fool if you want to be in any kind of supervisor management position in the village of Ridgewood. No one has your back you thought it was bad before and that we got worse. working in the villages like going fishing on ice you never know. What’s going to happen next.

    1. “No one has your back”

      Nonsense! They certainly do. It’s in their sights.

      This is small town politics, remember?

  16. Any writing on the on the wall in Village Whole, regarding who may be the new police chief/commander

  17. And Everyone thought the 3 Amigos were bad, Watch out

  18. After the Vag is told who to hire, you can guarantee they won’t have any real qualifications, but they will obey very well. This council majority is just like the previous Aronhson gang. Once they install their puppet, Vag will control the manager- aka the hiring authority for the Village. That means he can threaten employees with their jobs to do whatever sleazy, illegal deeds he needs done to pay back his campaign donors, and also bonus he can use the zoning officer to silence and intimidate anyone who disagrees with him. Just like last time. If you speak at a public meeting you can bet there will be two things that scum listens to, your name and address. Your comments will fall on def ears, but you will have some nice fat, made up property maintenance fines to pay because the manager can be ordered to send the zoning officer to your house to find something because Vag didn’t like you telling the truth at his meeting the previous evening. Between Vag and the twit the truth has no place at Village council meetings anymore, just lies and propaganda.

    1. Reply to Douche Bag THATS THE PERFECT NAME FOR YOU WITH YOUR MINDLESS COMMENTS.. WHAT A COWARD YOU ARE.. SO WHO ARE YOU?

  19. Just like village stipends, they will be gone.
