Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES III • December 4, 2013 Waldwick Tatarenko receives Certified Municipal Clerk designation Andrew Tatarenko, Waldwick’s grants administrator/ assistant borough administrator, has received his Certified Municipal Clerk designation. He had been studying for cer- tification for a number of years, passing his state certifying exam in April, and received his CMC pin at a ceremony held at last month’s New Jersey League of Municipalities Andrew Tatarenko Convention. Tatarenko joined Waldwick’s staff on Jan. 2. He was selected from among 40 candidates following a national search. Tatarenko previously served three years as deputy city clerk in Clifton, preceded by six years in the financial ser- vices industry. He holds a BA in mechanical engineering from Villanova University and a master’s in public admin- istration from Fairleigh Dickinson University. Since he began working in Waldwick, Tatarenko has been assigned to special projects, budgeting issues, and the town website, in addition to the grants component of his post. When he was hired in December of 2012, Waldwick Mayor Tom Giordano said Tatarenko would be a great asset to all of the borough’s departments due to his knowledge and experience. At that time, Waldwick Borough Administrator Gary Kratz pointed out that Tatarenko has a strong background in finance and municipal government and engineering.
