Village+Clerk

I had the opportunity to interview the Sloatsburg Village Clerk, Mr. Thomas Bollatto, Jr. His main job as a Village Clerk is to record all the meetings for the Board of Trustees and the Mayor, Carl S. Wright. He works at the Sloatsburg Municipal Building located on Route 17. He has been the village Clerk for about 41 years, yet he still loves his job. He lives at the Sloat House on Orange Turnpike and Sterling Avenue. He has lived there for twenty-five years.

Mr. Bollato’s job as a village Clerk is an appointed position. It is a four year term of office. He works full time from 8am -4pm and has a Monday – Friday schedule. His typical day may seem to be very routine, but every day is different. For example, his day can be spent working with the budget, talking with people, and solving community problems.

With the passing of time, you would think that Mr. Bollato would have changed jobs or possibly retired, but he has not. He has kept on going like the Energizer Bunny mainly because he likes helping the people of Sloatsburg!!
