The Lodi Mayor and Council Placed in One of the “Planner’s” Agreements that Gary Paparozzi Would Be Paid $75,000 to Upgrade Tax Maps. They Paid Paparozzi $40,000 Beyond. And His Invoices are Complete Joke. Lodi Clearly Doesn’t Have an Independent Auditor with Paparozzi's Extremely Close Friend, Frank DiMaria.

Gary Paparozzi is an “employee” of Lodi receiving an annual salary of $40,000.08.

Gary Paparozzi receives a noncompetitive contract each July 1^st from the Lodi Mayor and Council to be “Planner”. Since January 1, 2022, Gary Paparozzi was paid $173,080 for whatever he supposedly does with the Zoning and Planning Boards.

On July 1, 2022, the Lodi Mayor and Council added $75,000 to Gary’s agreement (beyond the $11,000 figure listed each year) to upgrade tax maps. None of Gary’s agreements before or after listed any payments for tax maps.

Gary Paparozzi was paid $40,000 beyond any agreement to update tax maps.

Paparozzi’s invoices do not list any hours.  Most list nothing at all.

Paparozzi is a paid employee of Lodi. They are calling him the “Planner” and paying him on the monthly bills.  They are calling him a “Senior Planning Aid” and paying him on payroll.  Is he the senior aid to himself?

They said they were paying Paparozzi $75,000 to update tax maps but then paid him $115,000. They said he would be done by 2023 but they are still paying him for 2025.

All lines are blurred and the Lodi taxpayers are being robbed.

Below are all the links I received for the most recent OPRA request into Gary Paparzzi.  No evidence was provided to show that Gary Paparozzi provided a resume showing that he was qualified to upgrade tax maps.  No evidence was provided that any emergency ordinance was adopted by the Lodi mayor and council to pay for the Tax Map Upgrades (contradicting Marc Schrieks' letter to the County).  No evidence was provided that there was ever any advertisement seeking vendors to conduct tax map upgrades.

The Lodi Mayor and Council need to come clean with Lodi residents about what went wrong with Gary Paparozzi's tax maps and what happened to the revaluation.
