The new year is about a week old now, but the mayors of Clarence-Rockland and Alfred-Plantagenet already know what their resolutions are for trying to make their municipalities better. “It’s the same as when I first took office,” said Mayor Stéphane Sarrazin of Alfred-Plan- tagenet Township, also emphasizing fiscal responsibility. “I want to keep on improving communications with our citizens. And I want to manage the municipality’s ‘wallet’ like it was my own, and make our finances more efficient.” Mayor Sarrazin noted that the township administration has changed over the past year with a new chief administrator, new trea- surer, and new municipal clerk taking over the posts after their predecessors, retired or moved on to new positions. He expects that 2020 will see the new administration “up to speed” on all issues, concerns, and needs of the community, and able to advise council on how to best tackle various issues. “I think we have some great people in all these positions,” Sarrazin said.
