Meet Corey
Stronger. Together. Verona... Let's get to work!
A VOLUNTEER FOR VERONA.
Over the past three years, Corey has had the opportunity and honor of serving as the Chairperson of the Recreational Advisory Board (Rec Committee) along with serving on the Open Space Committee. He has been extremely proud of their numerous accomplishments which have already had a beneficial impact on Verona including:
a) a detailed cost analysis report for existing and proposed recreation programs.
b) a recommendation and the implementation of a new sliding scale fee structure for all recreational programs. This structure will keep programs affordable for qualifying families while providing additional revenues to support the Recreation Department in general. It will also ease program dependency on taxpayer monies.
c) guidance on Everett Field.
d) addressing and improving marketing/social media outlets for informational purposes for residents.
e) addressing and updating Recreational Program Scheduling.
f) discussions on field surface solutions for Centennial Field and a recommendation for further options.
Corey’s signature project over the last three years has been a focus upon the Verona Community Pool. Under his leadership, the Rec Committee executed a comprehensive financial overhaul complete with numerous budget projections, scenarios, and possible outcomes to ensure its long-term financial health. Corey spent years working directly with the Administration, the Township Council, the Township’s hired consultant NexGen, former Rec Committee members, residents, and pool members to establish new forms of revenue generation to secure and sustain Verona Pool’s financial stability. Overall, Corey and the Rec Committee
developed a long-term strategic plan for all key stakeholders, outlining required revenues, costs and scenarios necessary to pull the pool out of the financial deep end. He can proudly say the Pool is now on a path to financial success and stability with the ultimate goal of building a financial safety net to support this cherished community asset going forward.
