When Did Luna Promote Licata?



When this administration created the “Building and Grounds” department, they were asked the above question.  They laughed (including Councilwoman Licata) and all said “no”.  Alan Spiniello interjected that the new ordinance was not intended to.

Of course it was intended to!  That’s why this conversation was completely omitted from the minutes of that meeting.  That’s why the wording of the ordinance would leave the public clueless to what it was actually doing:

Hearing & Adoption; Ordinance No. 2012-03; An Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 192-1; An Ordinance creating and establishing the Administrative Code of the Borough of Lodi, County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, in accordance with the form of government known as the Municipal Manager Form of Government Law pursuant to NJ .S.AAO:79-1, et. seq.

Tony Luna recently created a document showing Patrick Licata as the only employee in “Building and Grounds” to have a town issued phone.

Tony Luna needs to explain the arrangement he made for the councilwoman’s son.  What was his total compensation for 2013?  What title does he currently hold?  When, where, why, and how did he receive any promotion?

Hopefully this is Strike 3...




If Quatrone is in such dire need of an additional $25,108 (because $167,000 is not enough), and if the BOE members want to make it their lives' goal to deliver it to him, they should choose a different avenue.  They should hold an additional "Man of the Year" banquet this year and hand all the proceeds to Frank Quatrone.  What better cause for a private fundraiser than to honor someone that might do more "walkthoughs".

When you see members of the BOE, tell them to MOVE ON!   

The November BOE minutes show yet another revision.  Hopefully, this will be strike 3. 

If  the Lodi BOE spent as much time working for the children as they do on Quatrone's merit bonus, just imagine how better off our schools would be.

And board members with immediate family members in our schools shouldn't be voting on superintendent compensation.
