Jersey City makes three promotions; city's B.A. will live outside city

Jersey City announced today it has promoted two acting directors to full-time roles, while another city worker has been promoted to a new role, human resources director.

Bob Kakoleski, who has been the city?s acting business administrator since August, will take over the role in an official capacity. Kakoleski, who was hired in June 1989, makes $150,441.

Kakoleski?s promotion means Fulop will fall short of a campaign promise to have all city directors live in Jersey City. Kakoleski lives in Monmouth County.

?We are keeping Bob Kakoleski due to his performance on proposing his first budget that lowers taxes and that he is a lifelong city employee,? said city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill.

Just like the Healy administration, Fulop is totally ignoring the Jersey City municipal code. I quote City Ordinance 53-2:

? 53-2. - Domicile as condition of employment. [Added 6-9-2010 by Ord. No. 10-078]permanent link to this piece of content

A.

All employees, as a condition of their employment, shall maintain a bona fide domicile in the city of Jersey city during the period of their employment. Domicile means the permanent place of abode within the meaning, intent and scope of the New Jersey Statutes and court decisions governing and defining "domicile." It shall also mean the permanent abode which the Employee occupies with his or her spouse and minor children.

B.All employees shall file with the Division of Personnel an affidavit setting forth the following:

(1)the address and telephone number of the employees' bona fide domicile; and

(2)the address and telephone number of the employees' spouse and minor children.


Why can't the city follow its own damn ordinances? How hard should that be to do?

Why? Maybe, IMHO, lawyers would be hired & there would be suits challenging the right of the city, ordinance or not, to demand where employees live. Yeah, I know many other municipalities have same/similar ordinances but this is us we are talking about. At least we have 99% of those at the helm residing within the limits unlike the previous administration where the mayor was only here part of the time. And we all know where a former councilman/county chief of staff lives.

And also notice the date of the ordinance, 2010, so many had roots firmly set down in other communities. This doesn't justify anything, just sayin'.

If you feel strongly about a revaluation then contact Don Kenny of the Hudson County tax board.

The revaluations are not about time limit it is when the ratable base falls. The last revaluation was 26 years ago. Our ratable base is in the 30%, a revaluation normally happens when it drops below 70%. The B.A. has no control over the revaluation. It is now in the County hands.
