>How is this different from the current Planning Board? What happens to the Planning Board? What authority would this new Department have? I say “NO” to another layer of bureaucracy on the public dole. We need fewer people, committees and departments involved in Ridgewood government, not more. Did anyone read the article in this week’s Ridgewood News about the concession stand at Vets? UNBELIEVABLE!!! The Vandevander Foundation should pull the funding and move on. Let’s streamline our municipal government and the BOE and actually get things done in this town.
>thats worth about 25 to30thounsnd ayear.
>The more people they add the less responsibility they have. This person basically takes on Village manager responsibilities. Why can’t the village manager do his job is the bigger question.
