Message to Ms. Sonenefeld: The hiring and firing of Village employees is certainly within your purview, but that in and of itself is no excuse whatsoever for not keeping the ENTIRE Village Council informed of your plans with respect to holding positions open in expectation of an ordinance change. Personally, I’d like to see the complete list of job applicants for those open positions, now on hold, to find out exactly who it is from Ridgewood that you don’t want to hire.
Ms. Roberta:
1. You are not an elected official. You should not insert your opinions and commentary incessantly. We are not interested in your opinions. What are you, the fourth AMIGO? Your gratuitous swipe at Ms. Knudsen last night was completely uncalled for. Councilwoman Knudsen conducted a calm and fact-filled discussion. At the end of it, you had the audacity to state that you had prepared a joke but now you didn’t feel like it. That was insulting and unprofessional. You were clearly stating that you did not like Councilwoman Knudsen’s discussion. That is just tough luck for you. You are not, I repeat YOU ARE NOT an elected official. Your opinions are not germane to any discussion. Keep them to yourself and just try to do your job.
2. You need to stop interrupting when one of our elected officials is speaking. Watching the tape, it is so distracting when you keep interjecting. Stop it. We did not elect you to represent us and we do want to hear what our elected officals have to say.
She get her power and authority to act that way from the 3 amigos.
the manager is a puppet for the three snake’s . it’s time to out source them all .
There is a book in the making now — will it sell — and who will buy it ?
to much bull shit. they think we are in the clouds.
Ms Sonenfeld needs to take a class on civil service rules and regulations at her own expense. This situation has put Ridgewood in a very dangerous place.
Dom. “There is a book in the making now — will it sell — and who will buy it ?” This book should be free and mail with the Village Calendar.
She is horrible. Her ego knows no bounds. And her temper is on a par with the three amigos.
yes they need to be out sourced. the shit is getting bad.
Bullshit….she responds to e-mails within 24 hours and then action gets taken.
She’s 2-2 with me so far…
Well, saw the initial budget blurbs in the paper… looks pretty straighforward and no gimmicks… people will be unhappy but things like parking staff expenses in the parking utility budget and having business continuity plans sounds like the right thing…plus she’s been open, responds to emails and brings in a business sense…
7:19 – This is only because she felt like responding to and acting on what you requested or complained about. Many people have had dead silence from her emails, no response at all.
who cares about half of this shit.
we would like to know now who is getting a pay bonus and pay stipend’s for cutting workers or out sourcing work, or just saving money. some one must be getting this, right manager. come clean . we need a list who, how much, and what did they do to get it.
e mails, please. more smoke up my ass.
