Government Officials: Week of 3/12

This week I met some former city government officials for Nutley. I met a former mayor of the town, a former municipal judge and other officials. Through them I learned how the basic structure of city government is set up, how it interacts with its constituents, and how it affects the work of Neglia and other engineering firms and contractors.

For instance, contractors are subject to rules and regulations made by city officials and the overall government. If differences or complaints happen during a project or a law has been broken by the contractor, the municipal justice system deals with such issues. Engineering firms are usually hired by approval from mayor and important city officials known as the council.
