THE BULLETIN � PAGE 9

Our new school year has gotten off to a wonderful start, with weather to match.Summer work left our buildings in excellent shape and both student and staffseemed to have returned with a high level of excitement.

As I noted in my September message, we anticipated change with the new cameraentry system at Wildwood school and I’m happy to say that this new safetyprocedure has met with a very positive response. Now we are waiting for thefinal work of the Morris County Improvement Authority to prepare for the additionof solar panels on both the high school and Wildwood school. These should resultin a very positive result for our district.

One very significant change that I did not have an opportunity to mention in ourSeptember’s Bulletin is the announcement by Bob Reid that he will retire asWildwood Principal. Bob has been an employee of the school district for 39 years,and has served as a recreation director, coach, teacher and school principal. Morethan one generation of students has grown under Bob’s tenure and their childrenhave had the benefit of his leadership as well. On a personal note, I havetremendously enjoyed having Bob as a colleague and friend. His dedication to theMountain Lakes community and its children has been unwavering.

While finding a new Principal for Wildwood School will be a challenge, I amcertain that there will be no shortage of highly qualified candidates who willactively pursue this position. To ensure that we have an adequate timeline tocomplete this important process, I have personally committed to act as the InterimPrincipal from January through July 1, 2010. Having served as the Principal of twoelementary schools, for a total of nine years earlier in my career, I must admit thatI am excited by the opportunity.

Our search and advertisement of this position will begin this month and theinterview process will continue into January with an anticipated hire date in thespring. The new Principal will begin at Wildwood no later than July 1, 2010. Thisshould allow for a smooth transition. If you have any questions or concerns aswe undertake this important search, please don’t hesitate to contact me at(973) 334-8280.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and our schools.

John Kazmark, Superintendent

Students are recommended for mentorships bytheir teachers, and the students who have been recommended for fall mentorships will be notified inearly October. We will be recruiting students from MLHS as well as adult community members who arewilling to share their professions, expertise, experiences, talents and hobbies with our students. Thissharing may involve conducting a workshop, making a classroom presentation, acting as a mentor foran individual or a small group of students in math, language arts, science, etc. We will provide materialsand training! If you are interested, please call Lindsay Kielley at (973) 334-3609.

The ARC Program at Wildwood is underway. The ARC instructor, Mrs. Siddron, is located in Room 3,across the hall from the front door of Wildwood. This program enables students who have demonstratedhigh academic readiness to come out of their regular classrooms and explore advanced concepts inreading and/or mathematics. Because students will miss academic instruction in their regular classes,they must be able to function independently at a very high level in order to be successful.

Fifth Grade Enrichment Clusters will begin in early October, and will run throughout the year. Theseclusters will meet during reinforcement period and are open to all students. Some examples include thefollowing: Stock Market Game, Knowledge Masters, and Shakespeare.

FROM THE MAYORAs we settle into our fall routine of school, sports and enjoying the colors of the season,I want to take a moment to update you on a few changes and initiatives underway inthe borough.

New Borough ManagerFirst, I want to welcome our new Borough Manager Barry R. Lewis, Jr. to MountainLakes. In a unanimous vote at a special meeting in early September, the BoroughCouncil appointed Barry as our new Borough Manager. As I reported in my last Mayor’sletter, the appointment was the culmination of a highly competitive search process inwhich more than 75 candidates applied for the position. I want to thank CouncilmanGeorge Jackson and the other members of the Search Committee for conducting avery through, efficient and professional search. They all spent countless hours workingto find the best person for the job.

Barry has extensive experience in municipal government. He received his law degreefrom Florida State University in 1988. After graduating he practiced law in Florida andNew Jersey focusing primarily on local government law. In 1998, he became theTownship Administrator for Mine Hill. During his tenure he successfully obtained over$12 million in grants to preserve about 300 acres of open space. He has extensiveexperience in the administrative oversight of utilities and public beaches and controlledcosts by adopting innovative ways to deliver municipal services. In 2007, he becamethe Borough Administrator for Spring Lake and has continued to control costs, findgrants, and share services with other communities. We look forward to him bringinghis expertise to benefit the residents of Mountain Lakes. Barry’s first day on the job willbe this Monday, October 5. If you find yourself in Borough Hall please take a momentto personally welcome Barry to Mountain Lakes.

Sign Up for Broadcast EmailSecond, as outlined in our goals for the year and in an effort to develop better moreefficient ways to communicate with residents, we have instituted a broadcast emailsystem. The system is intended to be used at the discretion of the Borough Managerto disseminate information of a timely, urgent or emergency situation. We are currentlyin the process of populating the database of email addresses. If you wish to receivenotices via the broadcast email system, send an email to [email protected] your desire to have your address added to the database. We will bemonitoring and evaluating the use and benefits of this technology moving forward, soyou may notice some changes along the way.

Let’s go to the Video TapeThird, if you are a frequent visitor to our recycling center, you have probably noticed theongoing abuse of the use of the recycling containers. Unfortunately, there is atremendous amount of material that is unsuitable for recycling that is being disposedof in the containers. Not only is this against the recycling laws, it costs the taxpayersa great deal of money when containers are returned from the collection facility due to“contamination” from improper materials. Basically the containers are to be used formixed paper, bottles and cans and are marked accordingly. We also have areas

Page 32: The Bulletin

F R O M T H E B O R O U G H

THE BULLETIN � PAGE 30

designated for leaves, brush, tires and batteries. The recycling center is for the use ofresidents only and contractors are not permitted to use the facility. To combat themisuse, we have installed several video surveillance cameras to monitor the areaaround the clock. Anyone found to be improperly disposing of material or abusing anyarea of our DPW facility will be identified and receive a summons. Completeinformation on what is permitted at the yard can be found by clicking on “SolidWaste/Recycling” on the Borough website, www.mtnlakes.org.

Halloween Safe ZonesFinally, I want to remind all citizens to have a safe and fun Halloween. One way toensure a safe Halloween is by participating in the Halloween Safe Zone Programsponsored by our own Mountain Lakes Police Department. Candy donations are beingaccepted at the Police Department and are distributed to homes in the Borough’s SafeZones. Please consider making a candy donation.

As always, your comments and feedback are welcome, I can be reached at (973) 263-8752 or [email protected].

Frequently Asked Questions of the Shade Tree Commission

16. WHAT ARE INVASIVE TREE SPECIES AND WHY ARE THEY A PROBLEM? The two most common invasive tree species found in Mountain Lakes are the Norway Mapleand Ailanthus. These trees should not be planted because they displace native species andcrowd out new undergrowth.

17. WHAT TYPES OF TREES ARE BEST SUITED TO MOUNTAIN LAKES? Native trees are best suited for any area. Some examples of trees native to northern NewJersey are Red Maple, Silver Maple, Black Birch, River Birch, Hornbeam, Redbud, White Ash,Sweet Gum, Tulip Poplar, Black Oak, Red Oak, Scarlet Oak and Chestnut Oak, to name a few.Exhaustive lists are available on the internet.

18. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PLANT TREES WITH THEIR FUTURE GROWTHIN MIND? Trees are living things that have long life spans and definite growth patterns. Before plantingon our properties many considerations need to be taken into account.

How long can the tree be expected to live?

How tall or wide will it be when fully grown?

How fast does the tree grow?

Is the form or shape of the tree appropriate for the spot?

Will limbs block windows or will the tree be too close to a structure?

Will overhead wires impede growth?

Will the tree have the correct sun and moisture conditions for survival?

Is the tree deciduous or coniferous, (looses its leaves or evergreen)?

Is it flowering and does it produce fruit?

Talk with an arborist or knowledgeable landscape provider about specific tree species and how they will best thrive in your yard.

Borough DispatchBorough Council Meeting August 24, 2009: On behalf of the Shared Services Task

Force, Dana Pogorzelski presented a draft Shared Services Survey to Borough Council.

When finalized, the town-wide survey will be mailed to residents to see which services

they would like the town to continue to provide, and which services they would allow

others to provide. Ms Pogorzelski collected the Council members’ written comments.

During the first week of October, the Task Force will make a final presentation on

shared services, which will also be posted on the Mountain Lakes website. The

Facilities Task Force presentation will also be re-posted online. After the final

presentation, the survey will be mailed to residents in October. Public comments were

heard. It was noted that Shared Services and the Borough Hall renovation are separate

issues and should be addressed as such. It was mentioned that a Medical Needs

Foundation fundraiser is being planned for June 2011. Due to the timing, Mayor Shaw

referred the event planners to the Mountain Lakes Centennial Committee.

Borough Council Meeting September 3, 2009: Borough Council held a special meeting

to address hiring a Borough Manager. During a closed Executive Session, council

members conducted the final interview with Barry Lewis, who was recommended by

the 8-member search committee. At 9:15, the meeting was opened to the public. The

search committee received 76 applications for the position and interviewed 10 of the

applicants. Mr. Lewis is an attorney who practiced municipal law and land use law for

10 years, and served as the Planning Board attorney for Pompton Lakes. He was the

town administrator for Mine Hill for 10 years, and has been the administrator in Spring

Lakes for the past 2 years. He has worked on shared services arrangements with

Police Depts., courts and construction services in both Mine Hill and Spring Lakes.

The Council voted unanimously to hire Mr. Lewis, who will begin his employment on

Oct. 5, 2009 at a salary of $130,000 per year. Public comments were heard, including

a suggestion that the Council adopt an open format for meetings to increase public

involvement and enhance discussion. The suggested format would allow residents 2

one-minute sessions to add comments related to issues as they arise. Mayor Shaw

agreed that the open format has merit, but the current format is necessary to prevent

an individual from monopolizing the meeting and impeding progress. Mr. Gormally

stated that the open format is ideal, but opens the Council to accusations of selectively

hearing input from the public. Mrs. Emr stated that the open format is more productive

and she would like to explore the idea of opening the floor at different times during

the discussions.

This Dispatch is compiled from League observers’ notes. For complete minutes see the Borough website.
