Mayor Soriano Announces First in-Person Town Hall Since March 2020

PARSIPPANY —  After 17 months, the Township will bring back its Mayor’s Town Hall for the public. On Tuesday, August 24 at 7:00 p.m, Parsippany will present an in-person Town Hall at the Parsippany PAL building, located at 33 Baldwin Road. This will be the first in-person Town Hall meeting and discussion since March 10, 2020, at Lake Parsippany.

The Mayor will be joined by officials from Engineering, Parks & Forestry, Finance, Police, Business Administration, the Mayor’s Action Center, Public Works, and Construction & Zoning. Masks are strongly encouraged for anyone coming to the meeting.

“Parsippany’s Town Halls offer a bridge between government officials, municipal operations, and our residents,” said Mayor Soriano. “The people of Parsippany will have the opportunity to hear directly from public officials while exploring local topics deeper, and even offering alternative solutions.”

Officials will assemble on a makeshift dais and discuss a wide range of topics impacting the township. Residents will also have the opportunity to ask questions of civic leaders on subjects or issues that impact specific neighborhoods or the greater community.

“Sadly, the pandemic changed the feasibility of holding this critical forum over the past year,” said Mayor Soriano. “It’s been far too long since we’ve met with the community, and it’s time we return to engaging face to face, and mind to mind.”

If you have any questions about the Town Hall meeting, please contact the Mayor’s Action Center at (973) 263-4262.

Kiwanis Club Needs Food Giveaway Volunteers and Donations

PARSIPPANY — The Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany is looking for volunteers to help with an upcoming food distribution event.

The non-profit organization has hosted several food giveaways and has scheduled its next one for Saturday, August 21. It will take place at Parsippany High School, 309 Baldwin Road between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

PHS Key Club members filling the boxes with food to distribute to people needing food at Parsippany High School. The free Food Distribution was sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany

Volunteers are needed to help hand out the boxes, each containing 35 pounds to 40 pounds of groceries, canned food, and/or fresh produce.

The club is also seeking new members.

“Kiwanis club members believe in service,” it said in announcing the search for helpers and members. “They care about children. They’re interested in the community around them because the community matters to them. They’re people like you. Friends. Neighbors. Volunteers who want to make a difference.”

The club is part of Kiwanis International New Jersey Division 9.

Those interested in getting a box of food need to register by clicking here.

People who want to volunteer or become Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany members can get more information by calling (862) 346-5100 or clicking here.

Since Kiwanis Clubs in Northern New Jersey started its “Operation Feeding Morris County” initiatives it has distributed over 200,000 pounds of food to over 5,200 families, 8,000 children with a retail value of over $525,000. “Many people may feel like they need to humble themselves because they are asking for help, so we try to alleviate any feelings like that they might have.” Frank Cahill, Lt. Governor Division 9, New Jersey Kiwanis. Kiwanis is also seeking sponsors. Each food distribution costs approximately $2,000. If you are interested in donating, either call the above number or mail a check to Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany, Post Office Box 5342, Parsippany, NJ 07054.

While we ask for families to register online, this is only for a rough estimate of how much food we need to purchase. The only person who can see that list is the club president. On the day of the distributions, families simply pull up, say if they are registered or not, then a volunteer opens either the trunk or back seat of their car, puts the box of food in the vehicle closes the door, and drives off.

Dover Police Officer Ilmi Bojkovic volunteers during his day off distributing food. To volunteer visit kiwanishelps.org

“We want people to feel as comfortable as possible. We want them to know that Kiwanis is here to help,” said Ilmi Bokjovic, who spent his day off work volunteering. “The economic damage brought by mass layoffs and business closures is expected to persist long after vaccines become widely available and that means demand for food assistance will remain at the current high level for months or years to come.” Cahill says, “So long as there’s a need, we will continue to do the food distributions every month.”

Bojkovic is one of the many volunteers who helped during the past few months. Senator Anthony Bucco, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, Surrogate Heather Darling as well as other police officers, firemen, EMS workers participated in one of our locations. This is definitely a community project.

If you are interested in joining the Kiwanis Club contact Frank Cahill at (862) 346-5100 for additional information.

Statement from Council President dePierro Regarding 2021 Township Budget

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Mayor and Administration worked on the Township budget for seven months while most other towns completed their budgets in three or four months. The reasons for the delay in Parsippany were the serious deficits that had to be addressed. These deficits were caused by Mayor Soriano and his Administration in just three and a half years.

The Mayor initially introduced his budget in April that was not statutorily correct, including a $5 million loan (plus interest) that must be paid off within five years; a Fund Balance that may not be used; overestimating revenue and underestimating expenses. The Township Auditors had identified a number of serious errors in the budget and could not certify it. By the end of July, the Administration finally submitted a budget that could be certified.

The Mayor’s budget, submitted to the Council at its meeting on July 20, 2021, included a resolution to “Authorize Cancellation of Current Fund Appropriation Reserves”. This resolution would allow the Administration to “borrow” $1.1 million from the 2022 budget to balance the 2021 budget. The budget still significantly Overestimated Revenue and Underestimated Expenses.

These “Mayoral Gimmicks”, borrowing from the 2022 budget, overestimating revenue, and underestimating expenses, may get the Mayor through the 2021 budget, but he has pushed most of the Township’s deficit into 2022. He has “Kicked the Can down the road” so he can get reelected.  He blamed the previous administration for not leaving him enough surplus.

 

Letter to the Editor: The Knoll Country Club is a Disaster

Dear Editor:

At the Tuesday, August 3, Parsippany-Troy Hills Council meeting, I asked the Mayor, Township Council, and Business Administrator the following questions. I am still waiting for answers.

  1. What is going on with the catering at the Knoll Country Club? Residents complained there is no food service or alcohol service available?
  2. What happened to the previous caterer?
  3. I noticed the Township went out for bids for catering, now two times. Did anyone bid?
  4. Why wasn’t any of the bids accepted? Were there any violations of the public bidding law?
  5. I am told there was a function last Monday at the Knoll Country Club.  There was food being served by The Mansion from Mountain Lakes.  They were utilizing the kitchen. Did the Board of Health issue them a temporary license?
  6. There was also alcohol being served. Did people bring their own alcohol? If they did I thought Alcohol isn’t permitted on municipal property? Who is in charge of controlling this?
  7. Members bring alcohol when playing golf. Again, is alcohol permitted on municipal property. Who is in charge of controlling this?

    Dr. Louis Valori
