Vozeh appointed to borough administrator’s post
(continued from page 3) Council President Vanessa Jachzel commented, “Bruce has performed a tremendous service to Ramsey and we would be hard-pressed to find anyone of similar caliber or dedication to the borough.” Vozeh holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Bucknell University, and a master’s of business administration from Pace University. He has previously been a director of RBS Sempra Energy Trading Corp., and has held positions in the field of public and private finance throughout his career. A life-long resident of Ramsey, he attended Ramsey’s public schools, and holds trustee positions with the Ramsey Baseball and Softball Association, the Ramsey Hotspurs, and the Ramsey High School Athletic Association. He was a trustee of the Ramsey Board of Education, has served on the Ramsey Recreation Commission, and was elected three times to the borough council. He is a member of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, and is married with three children. The role of the borough administrator is to prepare and implement the borough’s annual budget, which this year was approximately $23 million. The administrator also interacts with residents, volunteers, and community groups; coordinates labor negotiations and borough employment practices; and oversees capital planning, projects, and grant procurement. The administrator also sits in on board of public works meetings. Vozeh will be paid an annual salary of $130,000. He began his new responsibilities immediately following his appointment. Sandve began working in Ramsey in early March 2011. He is a professional engineer and had served as a business administrator in two other communities. Sandve was paid $150,000 and was required to pay into his health insurance benefits. Sandve succeeded Nicholas Saros, who had served as Ramsey’s administrator for 29 years. Saros left Ramsey to become town manager in the Borough of Teterboro, a post that allows him the opportunity to spend more time with his young children. Saros had been paid $174,000.
