Village Seeks Volunteers for Boards

The following was sent by the Village of Ridgewood.

The Ridgewood Village Council is looking for residents who are interested in volunteering to serve on the Community Center Advisory Board, Financial Advisory Committee, and the Zoning Board of Adjustment.  

The Community Center Advisory Board develops policies and procedures for the operation of the Community Center facility and assists in the fulfillment of the County Municipal Alliance Grant requirements.  Membership includes:  Senior Citizen residents; adult residents with children in the school system; adult residents with no children in the school system.

The Financial Advisory Committee assists in the review and understanding of the financial considerations necessary to the operation of the Village and the Village’s preparation of the Annual and Capital Budgets; provides review, advice and recommendations to the Village Council on Village financial and budgetary matters; and prepares an annual report for the Village Council to assist the Councilmembers in their budget preparation.  Members will preferably have strong finance, accounting, government and/or business backgrounds.  

The Zoning Board of Adjustment hears variance applications and appeals from rulings and determinations arising from the enforcement of Village zoning ordinances.    

All interested residents should fill out a Citizen Volunteer Leadership form (found on the Village’s website, www.ridgewoodnj.net), and send it along with a cover letter indicating on which board(s) the resident wishes to serve, and a biography or resume to:
