The past village manager led the council to believe that the village would incur only the 35 cents per transaction which would go to Park Mobile. She signed a contract with an additional 21 percent off the top.No one would have been okay with this. Why she was so determined to go ahead with this bad deal for Ridgewood is a mystery. Current council members who were there at the time were not made aware of the additional charges. It looks like the village is out close to 200,000 dollars due to this poor contract. Whether anything illegal occurred is unclear but it was a bad contract and it looks as though the past village manager at best was deceitful in her communication with the council and acted poorly on behalf of the village.

  1. Go easy on her. She’s a Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

  2. Something doesn’t smell right about this parkmobile contract.
    Some one in village hall is not telling the truth.
    Supposedly the company’s management met with town officials several weeks ago and sent them a letter this weekend to point out the real facts.
    There was no fee paid to parkmobile by Ridgewood.
    The mayor and maybe others have known this.
    This leaves us with the unanswered question: Where has all of the parking revenues gone?
    Ridgewoods own version of russia-gate? (Lie begets lie begets lie begets cover up)
    Wednesdays council meeting should be lively.

  3. Something is not correct? Why wasn’t the CFO aware of this problem in December 2016, when planning the budget for 2017?

  4. Where did the idea come from that Ridgewood paid an extra fee if not from something down on paper? Is this instead Meterman in another guise? Supposedly we rid Ridgewood of the dubious Council in the last election. What happened?

  5. 12:39 All the revenues went to the man on the grassy knoll.

  6. Would tske alot of crazy powder to not think this skunk would not rise out of the stink pile within one budget year. Might have been a big

  9. Were her actions:

    due to incompetence?

    malicious in nature?

    vindictive in nature?

    criminal in nature?

    What do you think?

  10. 12:39 sounds like a Park Mobile employee to me

  11. Drain The Swamp! Drain The Swamp!

    1. in New Jersey its “flush the toilet “

  12. James, your Fly on the Wall can usually get right to the bottom of things. What is really going on here? Did our past village Manager really do this or not? Wish we could check her bank account.

  13. 9.22 ..decaf helps…

  14. Like Congress members who don’t have time to read life-changing bills they vote on, perhaps she never read the contract herself. If that turns out to be the excuse, watch out!
