Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • October 2, 2013 Glen Rock Borough welcomes William Yirce as tax assessor Glen Rock’s new tax assessor, Wiliam Yirce, said he is glad to be working in a friendly town where everyone is helpful and cooperative. Yirce took over the part-time tax assessor’s position in Glen Rock about three weeks ago and will be available to speak to residents every Wednesday, except holidays, from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and on the second Wednesday of each month from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A graduate of Monmouth University with majors in history and political sci- ence, Yirce is also the tax assessor in Weekhawken. In addition, he is a state- certified general real estate appraiser and a Realtor. He and his wife Elizabeth have a son, Dylan William, who is almost two. Glen Rock Borough Administrator Lenora Benjamin said she and the staff are pleased to have Yirce aboard and praised his open, friendly manner and his solid qualifications. The Glen Rock Borough Council fol- lowed up on recommendation from the Glen Rock Environmental Commission to make low-cost energy audits available to residents by preparing an initial proposal. The council voted last week to prepare a request for a proposal from qualified con- tractors in accordance with the guidelines of the Sustainable Jersey program. The proposals will permit contractors to submit proposals of their own and to nego- tiate with the borough. This process will permit the borough to negotiate the price and quality standards of the energy audit on behalf of the residents, with no cost to the borough government or taxpayers. Energy audits show homeowners and business owners ways to save energy through repairs and maintenance. The pro- cess also involves recertification of Glen Rock’s status with Sustainable Jersey. J.
