We are looking for recommendations for a company or individual to be the goto person for our tenants and take care of leases and payments. Its a small apartment (650) in a walk up on Van Vorst.

We have seen management companies charge from $50 to $100 per month for this service with varying levels of satisfaction from people we've spoken with.

Cheers.

I couldn't talk more highly of Balacco!! I have been told that DeMarco is good as well, but I've never seen him.

Watch - now I am never going to be able to get an appointment

First. Ms. Kelleher has served with distinction.

Second, she was hired in 1996, but as an employee in the Department of Health. Mayor Healy appointed her to her commissioner position in Cultural Affairs.

Fourth, nowhere has Ms. Kelleher complained publicly about this. I assume she would like to continue on, but she has acted with class and understands what a policy making position is all about.

The only people complaining are people with a political ax to grind with Fulop.

Enough already!

Maryanne is awesome, one of the hardest workers in JC Government and proud to call her my friend.

Elizabeth is also awesome and proud to know here for the past 14 years.

Steven Fulop is the Mayor and he makes the choice of who he wants and where he wants them. When the next administration comes in they will make their choices of who they want and where they want them.

Done!

LHS has no programs to address the feral cat population in either Jersey City or Hoboken where they contract for animal control. They have left that up to the community as has the City although the Animal Control is making a very slight effort.

I started the Neighborhood Feral Cat Initiative in 2009 to address the JC feral problem and to create a public dialogue about community and feral cats. We train residents how to Trap Neuter Return. We loan traps for free. And we provide grant funding to pay for the spaying and neutering.

Since 2009 we have spayed and neutered 2,000+ community/feral cats mostly in Jersey City. Hundreds of residents have taken the training workshop. All of this has been done without any municipal/government funding and without any paid employees.

Imagine what you can do with some funding and paid employees.

I have a question on this. How do I know if a local cat has been TNRed? Is there some kind of tag or mark on it? Obviously, you can tell with male cats but not females.

Hello,

My little sister is part of a contest to win $10K offered through KIND (the company that makes those fruit and nut bars). They select one person a month and I nominated my little sister who was recently paralyzed from domestic violence and is now in a wheelchair.

My hope for Yesenia is to get her van modified to be wheelchair accessible.

Please vote through facebook and spread the word. You just click on the link, connect to facebook and then choose a kind deed and then you have voted. Please share and then share again. Thanks.

This is a terrible move by Fulop and I really just can't see any justified reason for anyone on the council to support the Mayor on this one. JCMC provides the city with excellent service. If McCabe-CarePoint doesn't match or exceed JCMC's service record lives will be put at risk. How is this risky and unnecessary change to our Emergency Response good for the residents of Jersey City?

If it isn't broken don't try to fix it.

I recently received by car registration renewal and my drivers license renewal in the mail. I'm a JC resident. FYI I did the drivers license renewal by mail as long as I was willing to keep the same photo. Both the new drivers license and car registration came back via mail about two weeks later. It was a breeze.

Security firm at center of Jersey City schools dust up resigns, it says

By Terrence T. McDonald/The Jersey Journal

The Union, N.J. security firm at the center of a controversy over its contract with Jersey City public schools is no longer working with the district.

Jay Branker, a vice president with Strike Force Protective Service, told The Jersey Journal late this afternoon that his company has decided to concentrate on its other assignments.

?We have other pending contracts currently going on where we felt we were more welcomed,? Branker said.

Do this and do that. Did Jersey City strike oil or discover a gold mine. Go out and cut spending first and get grants.

Otherwise, we cannot afford this. This council forgets that we cannot handle anymore tax increases. Period. I thought they knew that during the last election. I thought they said they could cut spending. Has the Healy budget become the new normal?

In the past seven years, four people have been killed in traffic-related incidents within six blocks of my home (two pedestrians, one bicyclist and a passenger in a car.) How can we afford not to do this?

Just be careful. Also know that Animal Control will not pick up the raccoons, skunks & possums till after August. State law prohibits their relocation because they may have young.

For what it's worth, the one that was at the base of a tree was not in plain sight. It had been intentionally hidden amongst some high grass. It was not a tree that had nice plantings at the base or anything either, just a bunch of crab grass and weeds.

Also worth noting: I looked for more devices, as did someone from the city and we didn't find any more.

I make no apologies but Yvonne as much as you are an asset at some meetings reciting the history that put us where we are today & your diligence in researching the facts is impeccable your lofty expectations for mere mortals is just tiring. Why haven't you run for council since your attendance bests all the members? You can kvetch from the council seat as easily from the floor & I am sure the gallery would be more receptive.
