ADDRESS BY MAYOR PARISI
Good Evening and Happy New Year
It is both an honor and a privilege to welcome all of you here as we begin a new year.
It is with great pride that I am able stand before you today and share with you some of the
accomplishments of the past year
And also to provide you with the vision and the direction, we wish to take Englewood cliffs in
2009.
But first, I would like to take a moment to make some acknowledgements. Some of our best people,
whose lives were dedicated to our community, were claimed by time and are no longer with us.
Joe Quinn- one of our oldest firefighters, who always kept our fire trucks running and was
working as a firefighter, almost to the day of his passing.
Neil Vill - our longtime Recreation Director also died during the year, and I will officially name
the Englewood Cliff summer camp after Neil to commemorate his service. The “Neil Vill
Summer Program for Kids” will be a fitting tribute to his dedication to our community and to our
youth.
These gentlemen set a high standard for giving back to the community. Their unwavering
commitment and dedication to Englewood Cliffs is an example to be set for all.
Two great and dedicated elected officials, Lynn Norton and Pat Drimones, will not be joining us
this year on the council. They will be sorely missed. Lynn’s vast knowledge of accounting and
fiscal matters as a certified public accountant and Pat’s lifelong dedication to children and
education will leave a void in these chambers and in our deliberations.
I also like welcome our new council members, Robert Agresta and Eric Petrone, gentleman you
both will have large shoes to fill. As your Mayor, I am here to work with you
As difficult as 2008 was, despite a failing economy and a loss of revenue from state and federal
sources. The 2008 Mayor and Council were still able to fulfill the goals we set.
We addressed a series of quality of life issues. Such as:
• Enacting Ordinances restricting the blasting and chipping for new construction
• Revamped our parking requirements decreasing commuter parking on our streets.
• We completed the upgrading of the storm water system in areas where major flooding
issues plagued our residents.

JUNE 11, 2009 2008/2009-000037-REV1
• We received a grant from the Bergen County Open Space Committee. And improved
Woodland Park in various phases, including landscaping, a gazebo, and replacing the
walkway and the steps. And more work will done this year.
• Additionally we received a series of grants to improve and maintain our roadways. We

received $150,000.00 in 2008 and another $150,000.00 for this year. We especially thank
the efforts of our Borough Engineer who procured these grants for us.
• Our new administration Offices opened for business February 15, 2008. This project was
achieved at half the cost of new municipal buildings in other towns. I want to thank the
combined efforts our all involved. Especially our DPW Superintendent Rodney Bialko
and Our Administrator Debbie Fehre.
• We formed an ad hoc committee which began as the Storm Water Management

Committee and evolved into a Storm Water Management/Green Committee to study
increased storm water runoff, which is an increasingly difficult reality, to deal with.
• We are fortunate to have the volunteer efforts of Andy Bellina, a professional engineer
with the D E P and whose is an expert in storm water management and environmentally
friendly …“green” initiatives.
• Andy and his team will work with all our departments, personnel, boards, and our
corporate citizens to enhance our environmental awareness.
• We also began the collection of sewer user fees from commercial properties for the first
time. This creates annual revenue of approximately two hundred thousand dollars per
year for our borough.
In the area of public safety:

• We oversaw the revitalization of the ambulance corps and the supplementary support by
Holy Name Hospital and our EMT Trained Police
• Our Police Department has trained extensively and conducted life saving drills preparing
them for the many possibilities we face today, including terror attacks and home
invasions.
Our Council, Fire Department, Ambulance Corps, Administration, and DPW were all trained in
the National Incident Management program. Plus there was additional training in dealing with
special needs persons, work safety and conduct. All of this training is with the purpose of keeping
Englewood Cliffs a safe community.
One of the biggest challenges for 2008 was the Ordered Tax Re-evaluation, and I am excited to share
with you that our plan is already in progress. We are requesting a reassessment of our properties in
Englewood Cliffs. The resolution to begin this challenge was approved last November; and our tax
appeal attorney has already begun the process.
All these efforts were accomplished in a climate in which the state and county imposed financial
requirements on our community including the court ordered revaluation, increases in employee
pension costs and contractual employee salary increases.
So moving forward, here are the initiatives I will seek to implement in 2009
JUNE 11, 2009 2008/2009-000038-REV1
• First and foremost due to the condition of the economy, I will institute a salary freeze for
all departments and professionals, and I will set up a committee to study and revaluate the
compensation structure of our employees, and make recommendations for changes.
• We need to move away from the traditional form of municipal pay and benefits and take
a more progressive approach, in such areas as merit pay and employee benefit
contributions.
• I will ask the council to eliminate the Jerry Frank ordinance, well intentioned in its
conception years ago, but too costly today. It should be replaced with traditional
disability insurance.
• With the advice of the police chief and the police commissioner and committee, we will
look at a restructuring of the police department, to be more efficient and to reduce costs.
We will actively look for additional shared service opportunities. We currently share the positions
of
• chief financial officer
• building inspector
• tax assessor
• We are also members of the Riverside Co-op...a shared service organization
• plus we share a library
All these options save our taxpayers a tremendous amount of money.
We will look into the feasibility of other shared services such as leaf and recycling efforts, inter
police department services, and cooperative buying agreements with other towns. We are also
exploring reduced purchasing costs with our schools for a variety of items.
We continue to maintain our unique, free senior citizen transportation program, as well as our
town-sponsored contribution to a wonderful club. We truly value our senior citizens.
• Through automation and the coordinated efforts of our construction official, we have
improved the efficiency of that department and by adding a part-time assistant to the
building department, and replacing the retired control person; we will become even more
efficient.
• I will ask the planning board, to finalize plans, for the revitalization of the boutique
business zone to provide a southern gateway to Englewood Cliffs that we all will be
proud of.
• To fill the vacancy left by Neil Vill I asked Vince Gioffre to come out of retirement and
serve as our Acting Director of Recreation
To answer the Council on Affordable Housing or (COAH) challenge, the following actions have
begun:
• The COAH committee reviewed the suggestions of the municipal planner regarding the
various options for Englewood Cliffs.
• The planner submitted a Housing Element and Fair Share Plan to the Planning Board based
on the feedback of the committee.
• The Planning Board will hold a hearing on this matter to approve the plan
JUNE 11, 2009 2008/2009-000039-REV1
• The Council then endorses the plan that was adopted by Planning Board and submits it to
COAH.
I can assure you that this mayor and council will fight tirelessly to prevent any plan that changes the
quality of life of any resident of Englewood Cliffs.
We have numerous volunteer groups such as the Fire Department, Ambulance Corps, Planning
Board, Board of Adjustment, Board of Health, Shade Tree Commission, Environmental
Commission, and Police Surgeons, all of whom have the good of the town at heart and provide
tremendous free service to our community and greatly contribute to our ability to maintain the 2nd
lowest tax rate in the county.
As always we will proceed with our initiatives with our citizens always at the forefront of our
thoughts. We will continue to scrutinize our budget for all cost saving opportunities, secure
grants, and utilize shared services when possible.
We will do this and maintain the high quality of services that makes Englewood Cliffs the highly
desirable, safe community that you expect and enjoy.
I am relying on all council members to put politics aside, and work together in the serious
business of running our great town.
I have always promised to give 110% of myself and I am asking, NO I AM REQUIRING, no less
than that of this council for the challenges of the upcoming year. Politics and self-serving actions
will not be tolerated. Each of us on this council has taken an oath to be held at a higher standard
for the sole good of this town. Personal agendas are not part of the job description.
In closing I want to thank, Councilmen Ilan Plawker, Tom Manolio, Jerry Kasoff, and Patrick
Perin for their support and for their hard work, making Englewood Cliffs a great town for all of
us. The four of you have giving so much. And I truly appreciate all the help, and encouragement
you have extended to me as your mayor. Your families equally deserve our thanks, for sacrificing
their time with you.
And again I welcome our newest council members Eric Petrone and Robert Agresta
Also my thanks go out to my family, my wife Gina, my sons, Joey and Tommy, my mother in
law, Dena and my mom, Lucille, for their continued patience and understanding.
This is a new beginning. I will continue to maintain, my open door policy to all of you, I welcome
all discussions, comments or suggestions on how to make our community a better home for all of
us. I am constantly telling our municipal staff that we are a service oriented community, and as
your mayor, I am at your service.
I wish to thank you for your attendance tonight and wish you all a safe, healthy and happy New
Year.
