RIDGEWOOD — Ken Gabbert will remain the village manager until at least Aug. 14, when a council vote is expected on removing the administrator from a post he has held since 2009.
“We have begun discussions about transitioning the village manager’s office,” Mayor Paul Aronsohn said after an hourlong closed session Tuesday night, convened specifically to discuss Gabbert’s employment. Aronsohn said the council would “continue discussing” the transitioning of Gabbert’s post and work to “find an unanimous conclusion” that satisfies both the village manager and the governing body.
Administration sources have said tensions have developed between Gabbert and the council majority over several years of missteps and disagreements. Gabbert has known for some time his job was in jeopardy. A similar closed-door session in February resulted in a joint statement from the council, explaining his performance would be evaluated over coming months.

Be patient this will all be over soon…. pro or con… views not the issue any longer. The Village clerk can fill in for awhile.
Any new mgr. will be screened more closely this time I’m sure.
Word of wisdom from a grumpy old man.
Yes Dom the new Village Manager will be screened more closely. He will have to be a DEM, Have given heavily to the party and subscribe to our mayors politics for starters.
DOM. Life is full of fake people, before you decide to judge them, make sure you are not one of them.
My bet is the town administrator who just left Mahwah. He fit the Mayor’s requirements. Now the Mayor only has to fake the interview process with the other applicants to make it look good. you know for ” Transparency”
That’s right, transparency. The mayor sure is transparent. We can see right through him.
Dom was at the meeting last night along with Bombace and Albano to see Gabbert get fired. What a bunch of sadistic assholes , great company you keep Dom
