Eileen Hillock - Borough Emails
Dear Glen Rock Borough,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Emails to and from Eileen Hillock from 7.26.2020 to present day.
Yours faithfully,
Don't Tread On Me
In response to your request please attached. I will also be forwarding the rest in separate emails as Im sure it all wont fit in one.
Jackie
Eileen
No I am not saying anything of the sort.
I can only attest to my own feelings on the subject which is 1) we have an
outstanding police department and 2) they have been completely selfless in
their support to the community despite these trying times.
I grew up in a first responder family. My father was FBI and my
grandfather was NYPD. Since you only asked myself and not the other
members of the council, I will forward this to them.
Please be more specific if councilwoman Kreibich has spoken out against
the GRPD. And I note that you did not include her on this email but
instead the entire GRPD.
You are requesting an open dialogue which may be better suited for a town
hall type event if you are uncomfortable with asking the question from
yourself. I will reach out to public safety chair Mary Barchetto.
As to your bullying I sincerely hope you find resolution. However, this
mayor and council is not the appropriate authority to handle such matters.
Please enjoy your weekend.

So are you saying it’s fine with you, as Mayor, for others on the
Council and with Borough affiliations to disparage the police
department? And that it’s up to a resident to address it?
Just want to be clear with what you are saying.
If that is the case, I respectfully decline for the the following
reasons:
1) Per the published “Guidelines for Public Comments at Glen Rock
Council Meetings” comments should only be addressed to the Mayor and it
also notes that this is a time for comments and not necessarily
questions to the Mayor and Council.
2) Precedent has shown the Council regularly discusses “resident
emails” as an agenda item. I know I am not the first resident that has
emailed regarding this topic and I doubt I will be the last. Many, many
residents are appalled by these recent posts. Especially coming on the
heels of the amazing GRPD response to the pandemic, the storm, etc.
3) I am currently being bullied and harassed for my stance in support
of the police department, among other things, and I don’t feel safe
leading this discussion with the Council.
Thank you,
Eileen

I have previously addressed this with our PD. They fully know where my
support stands.
As to your suggestion - you are free to ask the question at the open
public comment portion of the meeting.

Chief Ackermann and Mayor Morieko,
I’m sure by now this recent post in a new Glen Rock page has been
brought to your attention. Would appreciate hearing your thoughts on
this.
I join many others in our Glen Rock Community requesting the
“poster” be removed immediately from any Borough-affiliated paid or
volunteer positions.

Thank you for all you do for Glen Rock. Know that you ARE appreciated
by the vast majority of residents. Stay safe.

Rob:
It would be much ore efficient if you would communicate with details,
back-up, etc. Your piecemeal responses create unnecessary back and forth.
The issue still needs to be discussed based on a number of parameters. We
all need to be on the same page. Our Board deserves the right to a
discussion for a common understanding. As requested, please put it on the
Work Session Agenda.
Please confirm the date and time.
Thanks.

Based on an email I received from the chief, it is the dog parks flag. The
dog park is a tenant of the boro and responsible for flag maintenance.

Subject: Re: Flag at the Glen Rock Dog Park
Rob:
Your answer is not satisfactory, since it is short, curt and did not
answer my questions.
Is the dog park flag not located on borough property? Why should it be
handled differently. Please answer the questions below so that there is
clarity, direction, and agreement.
There was never any discussion that this was the dog park responsibility.
As requested, in addition to answering the questions, please add it to the
Borough Council Work Session.
As a Board, we work as a team and handle different
aspects/issues/opportunities as they arise. I will be the point person on
our Board to handle this going forward.
Thanks.

Linda,
The police/DPW do the other flags in town. The maintenance of the flag at
the dog park is the responsibility of the dog park, not the boro. If
Eileen was not clear about my text she should have reached out.

Subject: Flag at the Glen Rock Dog Park
Hi Rob:
As you are aware I am on the Board of the Glen Rock Dog Park. Eileen
forwarded to the Glen Rock Dog Park Board your note that you sent earlier
today to her regarding still receiving requests to have the flag at the
dog park to be lowered to half-staff. With regard to this, I have a number
or questions I have documented below.
She also received the text below on Thursday, 7/23, apparently from you,
and thought it was an FYI and that the Borough would be handling. Is that
not the case? "Who" exactly is receiving these requests, and subsequently
who is responsible/what are the action items?
Immediately prior to your text to Eileen on Thursday, 7/23, the non-profit
received a nasty and threatening message regarding the flag from resident
Laura Occhipinti.
Questions :
1) Is the Borough aware the flag at Upper Faber is also at full staff?
2) Have you received any requests to lower the flag at Upper Faber? Or is
it only requests for the dog park?
3) What group is responsible for raising and lowering the flags on Borough
property?
4) Is the flag at the dog park considered Borough property? If not, what
is it considered?
5) How does the Borough receive notification of Federal or State requests
to lower the flag?
6) How is that notification communicated to others?
7) What are the parameters of the Federal or State requests to fly the
flag at half staff?
8) When were the other flags in the Borough lowered to honor Congressman
Lewis? Who/ what group(s) lowered them?
9) Who / what group lowers the flag at the 9/11 Memorial?
These questions are pretty basic and should help to provide clarity.
In addition to answering the questions, please forward the actual requests
you referred to and also please add a flag discussion topic to the next
Borough Council work-session agenda so this can be sorted out.
Looking forward to your response(s) in a timely manner.
Thanks.
Linda Brennan

Dear Jackie Scalia,
Thank you. So you are aware, many of the items forwarded are duplicates
or jumbled like this one https://opramachine.com/request/15864/re...
You might want to make your engineers aware.
Also, exposed in this request is the fact that councilmen are now texting residents regarding borough business. Please let them know we will OPRA text threads as well so we can figure out how our personal freedoms are being taken away.
Yours sincerely,
Don't Tread On Me
