One year ago today, I stood hefore you as a newly appointed Mayor following the passing of myfather Joseph C. Parisi Sr. Today I am proud to stand hefore you again and share with you ouraccomplishments and our vision for Englewood Cliffs. .

Once again we achieved tree city USA, through the tireless effort of our volunteer shade treecommittee. Our tree lined streets and landscaped parks are heautiful.

Through the comhined efforts of the chamber of commerce and state and local employees thecorner of Sylvan and Palisade Avenues has been restored, at no cost to our taxpayers.

Our planning board and our board of adjustment continue to maintain the harmony between ourresidents and our corporate citizens. Homes and businesses continue to expand and build inEnglewood Cliffs, solidifying their commitment to our town, as well as contributing to our hornevalues and commercial tax base. In addition we received over $175,000 for our storm watermanagement programs through the boards' efforts.

Our recreation and youth volunteers have provided numerous sports and activities for all ofus.I am very proud of the fact that our 9 and under little league won the divisional championshiponce again this year!Our recreation department continued the extended hours for summer camp with great success.

We continue to maintain our unique free senior citizen transportation program.

We have numerous Voluntary boards and commissions such as the Board ofHealth; the LibraryBoard; Enviro nmental Commission; Construction Board of Appeals; the Police Surgeons, andthe editor of the views on the Cliffs, who provide tremendous'free service to our community andgive us the ability to be the 2nd lowest tax rate in the county.

We also have to thank and praise our paid employees of the borough. Our brave policedepartment; our efficient department ofpublic works; clerk & administration office; municip alcourt; building department; and tax collection staff.

Of course I would be remiss not to mention our recently retired Municipal Clerk andAdministrator Joe Favaro. Joe 's retirement was effective December 31,2006. We will miss himand thank him for his many years of valuable service to the borough. And I am confident that ournew clerk and administrator, Debbie Fehre, will be able to perform the duties at hand .

I personally want to thank, Ilan, Torn, Patricia, Jerry, Lynn and Patrick for their support and fortheir hard work making Englewood Cliffs a great town for all of us .
