Marc Delivering For Pinto

Tax reductions, tax refunds, tonnage increase, 100% of town business, Pinto benefits agreement, lack of oversight ... is there anything Schrieks hasn't delivered?

Shockingly Low Host Community Fees Should be Explained

Unanswered Question
The following question was asked at the June 18,2013 council meeting: "Your 2008 audit shows you received $11,973 in host fees and your 2007 audit shows $11,920. How could these numbers be so low?" 2009 should have been included in that question. Since 1987, state law set the minimum community host fee at $0.50 per ton. The numbers for 2007 to 2009 seem extremely low. This question is still unanswered.

Same Tonnage Allowed for Each Year on Chart? (350 tons/day or 2100 tons/week)
Thanks to Marc Schrieks, tonnage increased from 80 tons/day to 350 tons a day. This was an increase of337.5% of trash for Lodi. What a great idea for a Main Street! "Two weeks ago, the council approved a contract with National Transfer Inc., at 445 N. Main St., on the west side of one of the borough's main streets, increasing the amount of garbage it processes from 80 tons to 350 tons a day. The decision was made after Councilman Marc Schrieks said in a June caucus meeting that the Bergen County Board of Freeholders, which has final jurisdiction over the decision, had planned to approve National's request for an increase. In the end, it turned out that it was not even on the freeholders' agenda at the time." -The Record Newspaper August 8, 2004

Continued: Marc Schrieks serves Pinto

Marc Schrieks worked for the disgraced state senator Joseph Coniglio at the time of the-tonnage increase. Coniglio's wife Valerie was the-clerk for the Freeholder Board that had the final decision on the matter. Marc Schrieks sat silent at a county hearing when the Freeholder Board said that the Lodi mayor and council were in support of the tonnage increase. To this day, Marc Schrieks continues to tell people he voted against the tonnage increase even though he did more to get it passed than anybody else.

"Remiss"
At the May 21, 2013 council meeting, a resident of the Avenues asked Marc Schrieks why he broke with past practice by approving a new host agreement upstairs at a workshop instead of at a regular public meeting. Marc Schrieks adamantly said he never approved a new host agreement and didn't know what the person was talking about. When Marc Schrieks was shown a copy of the agreement he signed just months prior, he said he was "remiss". He then went on to admit he never looked at any recent host agreement from other communities nor did he seek one price from another transfer station before giving Pinto 100% of Lodi's business.
