    THE YEAR 2002WAS RELATIVELYQUIET HERE IN ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS;NEWBEAUTIFUL HOMES CONTINUE TO BE BUILT; OUR COMMERCIALNEIGHBORS ARE IMPROVING THEm PROPERTIES.

    CNBC ISWORKINGMORE QillCKLY NOW TO GET READY TO MOVE IN.THEY ARE FINISHING THE INTERIOROF THE BUILDING AND I CAN TELL YOUIT IS SOMETHING TO SEE.

    DURING TIDS YEAR, I THINK THAT IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHINGWITHTHE OLD AMBULANCE CORPSBUILDING, THAT HAS BEEN USED FORSTORAGE BYTHE BOROUGH. THROUGH THE YEARS THE BUILDING HASSTARTED TO FALL APART.

    MY THOUGHT IS TO CONVERT TIDS SITE INTO ADDITIONALMUCHNEEDED SPACE FOR THE BOROUGHHALL FACILITIES.

    IWILL BE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO HIRE ANARCIDTECT TO PREPAREPLANS ANDHOPEFULYWE WILL START CONSTRUCTION IN LATE SPRING.THE ONLY ITEM THAT CAUSED SOME CONCERN TIDS PAST YEAR WAS

    THE SMALL INCREASE IN OUR PROPERTY TAXES . ',SINCE WE WERE REQillRED TO STABILIZE THE TAX BASE BY BERGENCOUNTY ANDSINCE OUR LAND IS SO VALUABLE, MANY RESIDENTS WHOSETAXES WERE INCREASEDWERE DISMAYED.WE STILL HAVE THE SECONDLOWEST TAXRATE IN THE COUNTYANDCOMPARED TO OTHER TOWNS AROUND US, WE ARE STILL BLESSEDWITH

    LOW PROPERTY TAXES.MY HOPE IS THAT IN THE NEXT YEAR, THERE WILL BE OTHERAJUSTMENTS BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NEW RATABLES AND TAXES WILLEVENTUALLY GO DOWN A SMALL AMOUNT.TIDS IS NOT A PROMISE BUT SIMPLYA STATEMENT OF PROBABILITY.I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OUR RESIDENTS, WHO SERVEON OUR BOARDS: THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT; PLANNING BOARD; BOARDOF HEALTH; SHADE TREE COMMISSION; ENVillONMENTAL COMMISSION

    Al\'D OTHERS.THEY SERVE THEm FELLOW RESIDENTS GRACIOUSLY ANDMOREOFTEN THAN NOT, WITHOUT THANKS. BUTMORE OFTEN THAN NOT WITHSOME GRIEF.
