He also stated that he felt the residents of the borough are “extremely well served” by all their elected officials and administrative staff. “I’ve served in one capacity or another since 1974 and without qualification I can say that the Franklin Lakes Council is one of the finest I’ve ever served with or for. The residents of Franklin Lakes should appreciate this council which has consensus as its goal,” he wrote. Smith’s appointment will leave a vacancy on the council, and Bivona said he would send a note to the Republican County Committee to advise that organization of the vacancy. The Republican County Committee will then have 15 days to submit three names to the council to consider for appointment to Smith’s unexpired term, which will expire at the end of this year. Smith has resided in Franklin Lakes for 37 years and has four children, all of whom attended the borough’s school system. A Fairfield University and Fordham Law School graduate, he served in the U.S. Army from 1968 to 1970 and in Vietnam in 1969. He was elected to the council twice previously, in 1976 and 1979, and he served as the borough’s municipal attorney from 1980 through November 2008. He was elected to the council in November of 2009. Presently a member of the Franklin Lakes Lions Club, Smith is a life member of the VFW, a former member of the Most Blessed Sacrament Parish Council, and former member of the Indian Trail Club Advisory Committee. He has been active in the borough’s recreation programs for many years, serving as a basketball coach at the middle school and as assistant tennis coach for eight years at Ramapo High School. In other action taken by the council, Bivona appointed Jay Lazerwitz, a current alternate member of the planning board, to serve out the unexpired full member term of Frank Conte who has resigned from the board. Conte’s term will expire in 2013. Rottino (continued from page 3) “To achieve success in business, you have to find common ground and shared objectives with your partners. I believe we can make the BCRO a more effective organization by focusing on what we have in common, and working toward a shared vision for our future.” Besides being committed to bringing the Republican Party together, Rottino said his goals as chairman would be to upgrade the party’s technological abilities, increase the BCRO’s communication capabilities, develop a new fundraising platform, and create more opportunities for a broader spectrum of people to contribute to the party’s success. “One very important thing I have learned about Republicans in Bergen County is that there are a lot of talented people out there who are waiting for their opportunity to contribute their skills and energy to improving our party’s ability to win elections,” said Rottino. “A big part of building a successful organization is creating an atmosphere where ideas can flourish and participation is welcomed.”
