Ridgewood NJ , Paul Aronsohn, Gwenn Hauck and Albert Pucciarelli were officially sworn in at Sundays Village Council reorganization meeting.
There were no big surprises Paul Aronsohn was appointed Mayor, Albert Pucciarelli appointed Deputy Mayor. Matt Rogers reappointed as Village Attorney, and a litany of appointments to the various Village boards were also made . U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez administered the oaths of office .
Some changes were made to Village Council committees; Gwen Hauck is now liaison to Parks & Rec and Bernie Walsh assumes the Citizens Safety Advisory Committee leadership now that Keith is gone.Both former Mayor Killion and Councilman Stephen Wellinghorst were praised by residents and council alike . Former Mayor Keith Killion received a standing ovation as he left the dais.
Now Mayor Aronsohn made his first public speech as mayor, and vowed to work on the revitalizing the business community, fix the permitting process, fill store vacancies, and take a closer look at pedestrian safety.
In his remarks U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez was very complimentary to Ridgewood’s non partisan form of government.
Both the ceremony and reception were well attended and there was a standing room only crowd .

Great photos Boyd, Dom and Michael still watching from the side lines.
It won’t take long before we all realize that Keith should’ve been re-elected…..
well the new mayor and council need to hire workers for dept’s that are so under staffed. and then they can get the work done that needs to be done .and they better not say we don’t have the money.if they do say that,then they should not do any other special jobs in town. stop all the bull shit storys. because in the past three years they kept saying no money,but yet they found money for a few things that they liked.
You just wait 3 you will be on the unemployment line soon. Then you have a lot of time to write on this blog.
yes it is time. we all need to wake up and get the village back what it was . we need to be the leader, just like we wear in the 80,s.
