Mayor and council honor Paul Grifo for decades of Teterboro noise-abatement service
Summary
The borough presented a ceremonial resolution thanking resident Paul Grifo for roughly 35 years as the borough’s liaison to the Teterboro Aircraft Noise Abatement Advisory Committee and for serving as co-chair since February 2019.
The Rutherford mayor read a ceremonial resolution on Jan. 13 honoring longtime resident Paul Grifo for decades of volunteer service representing Rutherford on Teterboro-area aircraft noise issues.
The resolution recognized that Grifo and his wife Marie raised their sons in Rutherford and that Grifo served roughly 35 years as a liaison to the Teterboro Aircraft Noise Abatement Advisory Committee, acting as an alternate representative to several mayors. The mayor said Grifo served as co-chair since February 2019 and helped ensure Rutherford's quality-of-life concerns were represented in discussions related to Teterboro Airport.
The text read into the record concluded: "Now, therefore, be it resolved, on behalf of the borough of Rutherford, I, Mayor, wish to express our sincere appreciation to this extraordinary man who has done so much for his fellow citizens throughout his life." Attendees thanked Grifo and posed for a group photograph after the presentation. No formal roll-call vote was recorded for the ceremonial resolution during the meeting.
The item was presented as a recognition and did not include discussion of policy or binding action; the council held its engineer's report to a future meeting and moved on to business afterward.
