Town News

To our Ocean Ridge Residents:      We received a letter today which concerned me and I felt it needed some clarification.  A resident was concerned when he/she saw Town staff repairing Commissioner Allison's mailbox.  The concern was that staff was giving Commissioner Allison special treatment during work hours.  The Staff was repairing the mailbox because a police officer accidentally backed into it and damaged the mailbox.  As the damage was our fault it was our responsibility to make the repairs.  We would do this for any resident.       The main thing that concerned me about the letter was that the individual said they didn't sign it for "fear of retribution".  I want to assure all the residents that nothing like that would ever occur.  If someone has a concern we want you to let us know regardless of what it is.  That way we can explain to you what is occurring and if necessary take action to correct a problem if it exists.  We would never hold it against someone for bringing it to our attention.  Please feel free to call me anytime at 561-732-2635.  Thank you for your concerns and support.  Sincerely, Kenneth N. Schenck, Jr. Town Manager (Posted 3/4/10)
