Ridgewood NJ, the word is that there is a shakeup at Village Parks department. Apparently the tree supervisor has been missing for a month and Director of Parks and Recreation Nancy Bigos is scrambling for someone to cover the position .
For the duration of the Coronavirus pandemic, Village Hall is closed to the public and meetings are being held with participants at remote locations, connecting to conferencing software provided by zoom.us.
Members of the public are invited to view meetings live using Zoom, which also allows them to “raise a hand” and contribute with voice and video when they are invited to do so during Public Comments as well as during Public Hearings during the meeting.
