This Week in Patch: Jamboree, Field Policy Changes, Council Meeting

This week in Patch, we'll be taking another look at Jamboree, movement on the volatile field lights/use issue, road infrastructure, what the village can do with all that snow, village department manager salaries and much, much more. For now, see what's going on each day during the workweek.

Monday:

On Monday the Ridgewood Board of Education will hear the proposed changes to the fields use policy made by the Field Committee. The issues of priority of use (most of the participants playing sports on the fields will not be school-based) and the time in which games can be played (neighbors and many elected officials have said they think 10 p.m. is too late).

The West Side will receive rearyard collection; Area 5 will have recyclables picked up.

Tuesday:

The Board of Adjustment will be meeting in the Sydney Stoldt court room for its regularly scheduled public meeting. The East Side will see rear yard pickup along with recycling area 6 on Tuesday.
