The Morris County Freeholders conducted its regular public meeting Sept. 26 in Mendham Borough, continuing the board’s tradition of taking some of its meetings “on the road.” The freeholders began the practice in 2007 as a means of staying in close contact with the county’s municipal officials to foster an exchange of ideas and to gain direct knowledge of the issues that municipal officials are facing. Pictured left to right are freeholders Margaret Nordstrom and Thomas Mastrangelo, Administrator John Bonanni, Clerk of the Board Diane Ketchum, Freeholder John Murphy, County Counsel Daniel O’Mullan, and freeholders Ann Grossi and Gene Feyl.
