At this time Council member Arnao thanked Andrew Stoffo who has been filming the Council meetings.
Mayor van Keuren read the following proclamation honoring Andrew.
PROCLAMATION
Whereas the power to communicate well and in a timely way is a growing objective of this Mayor and Council, and
Whereas we are becoming accustomed to the presence of a video camera at our public meetings and our ‘fear of the small screen’ is, happily, diminishing, and
Whereas that subsiding fear is due in large measure to the able operation of the camera by a young man who knows his stuff and shows that he has the right video stuff twice a month.
In short he has made us look as good as we can be made to look and it’s time for us to say ‘thanks’, which I now do on behalf of all of us. Further I declare that Andy Stoffo is designated as Extraordinary Able-Bodied Senior Camera Operator First Class, and further that January 3, 2008 is Andy Stoffo Day in Glen Rock.
