ADDRESS BY MAYOR PARISI
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO THE 2004 REORGANIZATION

MEETING OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE BOROUGH OF ENGLEWOOD
CLIFFS. IT IS NOT ONLY MY PLEASURE, BUT AN HONOR TO PRESIDE AT rms
MEETING.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE

ELECTED OFFICE OF MAYOR FOR GRANTED, AND HAVE NEVER FELT THAT IT
WAS MY ENTITLEMENT.
I HAVE STRIVED THROUGH THESE MANY YEARS TO DO MY BEST AND

ALWAYS THINK OF THE COMMON GOOD, BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION.
MOST MAYORS IN BERGEN COUNTY ARE PART TIMERS, AND HAVE FULL
TIME JOBS ELSEWHERE, SO THAT THEm ACTUAl: TIME IN THEm BOROUGHS
OR TOWNS IS LIMITED.
I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO ENJOY BEING IN MY OWN BUSINESS, SO THERE

HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TIMES THRU THE YEARS WHEN I HAD THE ABILITY
TO HAVE BOROUGH BUSINESS ACTUALLY COME FmST, IN BOTH MY TIME
AND EFFORT. '
THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN TOWN, WHO

HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BEING THE MAYOR OF A SMALL TOWN REALLY
ENCOMP ASSES. IT IS IN FACT LIKE RUNNING A BUSINESS. THERE ARE
FINANCIAL DETAILS TO ATTEND TO , PERSONNEL ISSUES, AND THE DAY TO
DAY MINUTIAE, THAT ALL OF YOU DEAL WITH IN YOUR OWN BUSINESSES
AND PROFESSIONS.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TOWN AND YOUR OWN

BUSINESS ARE THE NUMEROUS LAWS AND RULES THAT PERTAIN TO
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT THAT MUST BE ADHERED TO.
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE FAITH AND TRUST IN ME.
TO ONCE AGAIN ELECT ME AS MAYOR OF rars WONDERFUL BOROUGH.
AS I HAVE DONE BEFORE I WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR NEW INITIATIVES
AND WAYS TO BETTER SERVE THE COMMUNITY, SO THAT WE CONTINUE TO
IMPROVE AND MAINTAIN OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
IN ORDER FOR rms BOROUGH TO DO ALL THE THINGS REQUffiED OF

IT, IT TAKES A NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT MAKE
OUR LIVES COMFORTABLE. WE HAVE A DEDICATED AND PROFESSIONAL
POLICE DEPARTMENT. OUR VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORPS AND FIRE
DEPARTMENT ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE THERE TO HELP YOU IN ANY
TIME OF NEED OR EMERGENCY. .

MAY 05 2009 2004-000006-REV1

JANUARY 4, 2004
THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ARE

THE BEST IN THE COUNTY . WHETHER IT IS MAINTENANCE; CLEANUP; SNOW
REMOVAL; AND THE LIKE, THEY DO A GREAT JOB.
AS TIME GOES BY, I HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE PEOPLE IN ALL

THESE DEPARTMENTS, WHO UNDERSTAND THAT WE VALUE THEM AND THE
SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING FISCALLY
REPSONSIDLE TO THE TAXPAYERS.
I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO

YOU HAVE ELECTED, TO SERVE WITH ME ON rms COUNCIL. EACH OF THEM
TAKES THEm RESPONSIDILITIES AS A COUNCIL MEMBER VERY SERIOUS.
DESPITE WHAT SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD. rms A HARD WORKING
INDEPENDENT GROUP OF PEOPLE, WHO VOICE THEIR OPINIONS AS IGHTILY
AS THEY CAN.
GOOD PEOPLE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE AND STILL WORK TOGETHER

TO COME TO SOLUTIONS THAT SERVE THE COMMON:GOOD.
I WANT TO WISH EVERYONE HERE A VERY HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW

YEAR.

JUNE 16, 2004
WHEREAS, as currently written A-2073 and S-1558 (aka the New Jersey Civil Rights
Act) will prove extremely expensive to muni cipalities; and
WHEREAS, under this legislation, any allegation that due process was deficient will
subjec t a municipality to potential fee shifting that requires the municipality to pay the
compl aining party's attorneys fees; and
WHEREAS, almost every appeal of a municipal decision invariable involves an

allegation concerning due process. Examples of matters that will become subject to fee shifting
include decisions relating to zoning variances, site plan applications, building permits, Board of
Health applications, licenses of all sorts and personnel matters ; and
WHEREAS, the availabil ity of fee shifting will encourage additional litigation and will
make these cases more difficult to settle; and
WHEREAS, while the cost of this bill cannot be determined to any degree of certainty,
the cost to New Jersey municipalities could easily be in the rangeof $25 to $50 million per year
or more; and .
WHEREAS, the last time fee shifting was extended to a new class of liability was in
1994 when the Court opened the floodgate s to hostile workplace litigation in the Toys R Us
decision. As a result, the cost of Public Officials and Employment Practices Liability lawsuits
agains t New Jersey municipalities tripled to approximately $25 milli on per year; and
WHEREAS, the New Jersey League of Municipalities and the Munic ipal Excess
Liability Joint Insurance Fund are negotiating amendments that will prevent an unnecessary
increase in municipal costs while still protecting civil rights;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayo r and Council of the Borough

of Englewood Cliffs that the legislature be urged to exempt municipalities from A-2073 and S-
1558; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each

legislator who represents Bergen County as well as the Governor, Senate President and Assembly
Speaker.
