Frank Nuzzo, a long-time, respected member of
the board of aldermen, has been named by Mayor Carlo DeMaria Jr., as Nuzzo began his new duties Wednesday, the
start of the new fiscal year. His resignation as the Alderman of Ward One was
effective on Tuesday. In announcing the appointment, Mayor DeMaria
said Nuzzo was a perfect fit for the code enforcement job, citing his extensive
local government experience, his familiarity with the city ordinances and his
commitment to a strong code enforcement program. The mayor said he is thrilled that Nuzzo has
agreed to join his administration in a full-time and vital capacity. DeMaria added that there’s no doubt that
Nuzzo will effectively help to spearhead his administration’s continuing
aggressive campaign effort to get the city clean and to ensure that there’s
improved compliance with the city’s ordinances. Nuzzo, a member of the city council for over
three decades, said he’s “excited by this new opportunity”. He asserted that as the director of code
enforcement, he’ll be able to take meaningful action on important issues that
daily impact local residents’ lives – issues like the problems associated with
illegal and overcrowded apartments, for example. The Nuzzo appointment comes on the heels of
the mayor’s recent controversial ouster of Frank Chiampi from the code
enforcement chief’s post. Mayor DeMaria last week said he fired Chiampi
for not being tough enough in getting code violators to comply with the law. As a member of the board of aldermen, Nuzzo
earned a reputation of being a strong, “no nonsense” official when it came to
compliance with city laws. Come Celebrate the July 4th

Despite the difficult economy, the state’s
fiscal crisis and the effect on the local budget, our hats are off to Mayor
Carlo DeMaria and the members of the City Council for refusing to cut back on
the city’s observance of the Independence Day holiday. From The
mayor’s office has coordinated a program that includes free rides, a petting
zoo and face painting for the youngsters. The city council is sponsoring “Fun Run”
races, and bike and doll carriage decorating contests. There’ll also be food available and prizes. And from 3 to 5 in the afternoon, there will
be a concert by The Mellow Moods. It’s an old fashioned holiday party and all
