Sandve appointed new borough administrator
Edward Sandve has been named Ramsey’s borough administrator. The appointment was made by the Ramsey Council last week, and Sandve is scheduled to begin work March 7. “We are pleased that we were able to find a candidate with the depth of experience that Ed brings to Ramsey. He is a professional engineer and has been a business administrator in two other communities. We are looking forward to him starting,” Ramsey Mayor Christopher Botta said of the new administrator. Sandve will earn $150,000 and will be required to pay into his health insurance benefits, Mayor Botta explained. Botta said the search for a new administrator included an official job posting with the League of Municipalities. The borough received 28 letters and resumes, and the borough’s Finance and Administration Committee interviewed six candidates before ultimately deciding on Sandve. Sandve, who is originally from West Milford, has resided in Waldwick for 26 years. He and his wife have four children. The new administrator received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology. For the past seven years, he has been the administrator in Woodcliff Lake. Previously, he served nine
years as borough engineer and clerk in Caldwell, and was director of public works and engineer for South Orange. Sandve is currently a member of the Waldwick Board of Education. He was named to the board to fill an unexpired term four years ago, and was subsequently elected to a three-year term. He has been involved in the local soccer programs, and is currently vice president of the Waldwick Warriors Soccer Club. He has also run the Saint Luke’s basketball program for the last nine years. “I’m very excited about the opportunity,” Sandve said of joining Ramsey’s administration. He noted that, after being advised that he would be named to the administrator’s position, several Ramsey Council members called him. Sandve said their outreach was a welcoming experience. Sandve succeeds former administrator Nicholas Saros, who had served Ramsey for 29 years. Saros recently decided to become town manager in the Borough of Teterboro, a post that allows him the opportunity to be home with his children in the evening.
