Valori appointed to Morris County Park Commission

PARSIPPANY — During last Wednesday’s freeholder meeting, Freeholders John Krickus Hank Lyon, Thomas J. Mastrangelo and David Scapicchio voted in favor of Resolution No. 24 to appoint Dr. Louis Valori, Parsippany, to the Park Commission to fill the unexpired five-year term of Judith Schleicher, which ends December 31, 2017. Schleicher stepped down earlier this year because she was moving out-of-state.

Freeholders John Cesaro and Doug Cabana abstained, since they work for the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills, where Dr. Louis Valori is a councilman. Cabana serves as municipal prosecutor and Cesaro serves as municipal public defender.

Freeholder Director Kathryn A. DeFillippo expressed full opposition to opening up seats on the commission to politicians. She believes Valori is a qualified candidate but she does not want to see the position politicized and wants to give citizens the volunteer opportunity.

The appointment to the Commission is a non-paid position.

The Morris County Park Commission is the largest county park system in New Jersey based on acreage with over 18,730 acres of parkland including 38 facilities: historic sites, golf courses, outdoor educational and recreational facilities, arboretum, conservation areas, 150 miles of trails, ice skating arena, and an artificial turf field complex with two inline hockey rinks.

Last year more than 3.5 million visit the parks. The parks offer award-winning programs, special events, and activities for all ages.

The Morris County Park Commission has a staff includes 156 full-time, 149 seasonal and part-time employees and hundreds of volunteers contribute more than 13,000 hours annually.
