Trustees

The trustees are important to the people of Sloatsburg because

they make and pass laws. They make laws like no parking on the side of the

road when it is snowing out. I think someone would like to be a trustee because

they would care about the village of Sloatsburg and want to make it a safe

place to live.

The trustees are elected for a 4 year term. They are not appointed. If

someone does not want them they will not vote for them. The names of the

trustees are: J. Mark Reimer, Barbara Berntsen, John M. Bonkoski and

Brian D. Nugent. The all work as trustees part time.

Trustees meet in the village hall in the court room. They meet every

Second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:30 PM. There is a new agenda

at every meeting. The agenda lets everyone know what they are going to talk

about the meeting.

If the trustees did not spend the village money wisely they can not

afford lots of village needs. Some of the village needs are the taking care of

the pool, D.P.W., firehouse and lots more.

I got to talk to one of the trustees, John M. Bonkoski, my dad, and

asked him why he wanted to be a trustees. He said he loves it because he

loves Sloatsburg. If you are dedicated to Sloatsburg you will make a good

trustee.
