Riche issue
(continued from page 3) accounting error (in entering the $8,000 without a council vote after the $24,000 had been voted with Riche recused.) We now have no coverage of communications services. I think you owe him a public apology. A thank you for services rendered would also be appropriate.” “A situation was brought to our attention...in the name of good government,” Mayor Aronsohn began. He added, “I felt absolutely compelled...On an ethical issue, people have the right to know.” “We are totally disgusted,” said Sally Brandes, a longterm resident and expert on the Open Public Meetings Act, told the council majority. Brandes said that, based on the Act, Riche should have been given a 48-hour notice so he could determine whether the hearing would take place in public session or closed session, and asked if this had been done. “I don’t believe you gave Mr. Riche that option,” Brandes said. Charles Kime, another resident, asked all members of the council to avow that they would not contract business with the village. While most people who spoke felt Riche had been defamed, the concept that no elected official should contract with the village had a strong undercurrent of support. Aronsohn tried to offer residents the option of speaking at a later part of the hearing -- after two unrelated presentations -- and members of the audience asked if Aronsohn was trying to terminate the comments during the first part of the meeting. Aronsohn denied this and allowed the comments to continue for a second half-hour. At the end of the session, two people -- Johnson and the man no one could identify -- praised the council. The initial $24,000 payment was once again affirmed as legal, no charges were brought against Riche, and Riche stood by his announcement that he would never again contract business with Ridgewood, even if asked.
