As the New Year begins, I look forward to working and achieving the goals set by this administration.
The Reorganization Meeting of the Governing Body is scheduled for Thursday, January 2nd, and the elected officials will be given the Oath of Office and begin to serve their new terms. During this meeting, the Governing Body will establish their policy and allow for the transition and procedure of business throughout the year.
I would like to thank all the appointed professionals and consultants for their diligence in providing guidance and direction throughout the year. I would also like to recognize the staff within the Borough of Pompton Lakes for the services they provide for residents on a daily basis. I, along with the Governing Body, appreciate the help and skills the various departments offer residents in town.
I am always amazed as to the outpour of COMMUNITY SUPPORT during good times and bad times. Neighbors helping neighbors and the support of the various local organizations within the Borough who are actively involved in the community. The Borough is home to various Houses of Worship who offer guidance and assistance for residents. The Girls and Boys Scouts are an intricate part of the community. I am fortunate to be the Mayor of a giving and caring community!
This is an exciting year as Pompton Lakes will embark on its 125th Anniversary as a Borough. I would invite everyone who has been a part of the Borough’s long history and those who are just beginning and creating their own history in Pompton Lakes to join the Borough as they celebrate this honorable occasion. I would like to thank the Historical Committee for being the driving force in planning the Anniversary Celebration.
I wish everyone a Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
Until next time,
Michael Serra
Mayor of Pompton Lakes
