Waldwick swears in new school safety officers; council accepts administrator’s resignation and appoints Tatiana Marquis
Summary
The borough swore in a new sworn police officer and two SLEO III school‑safety officers; the council accepted the resignation of borough administrator Steven Veil and appointed Tatiana Marquis as borough administrator, with Marquis delivering brief remarks at the meeting.
The council swore in multiple public‑safety personnel. Jake Putterman took the oath of office to become a sworn police officer for the Borough of Waldwick; two Special Law Enforcement Officers (SLEO III) — Mario Kartes and Michael Christiansen — were introduced as officers assigned to school safety and traffic duties. Lieutenant Seaford reported early positive results from their deployment, noting improved traffic flow at Crescent Ave and increased pedestrian safety on Summit Ave.
In personnel business read as part of the consent agenda, the council accepted the resignation of borough administrator Steven Veil, who spoke briefly and thanked colleagues and residents, noting his last day would be later in the month. The council approved the appointment of Tatiana Marquis as borough administrator. Marquis addressed the council and residents, thanked members for their support during the transition, and expressed enthusiasm for the role.
Why it matters: The new SLEO and sworn officers are intended to provide school safety and relieve traffic congestion at school arrival and dismissal times. The administrator transition is an executive‑level personnel change that will affect municipal management and the timing of pending projects; council members publicly thanked Veil for his service and welcomed Marquis.
