Holmdel appoints members to Open Space Council HOLMDEL - Mayor Serena DiMaso announced several appointments to the township's Open Space Advisory Council on Thursday. The council was established in 1999 to review and recommend parcels of land to be acquired and preserved. The council consists of nine regular members plus two alternate members. All members serve without compensation. The appointments are as follows: Dale Van der Woude, chairman; Serena DiMaso, mayor; Rocco Pascucci, Township Committee representative; Christopher Yonclas, Environmental Commission representative; Patrick Impreveduto, Planning Board representative; Tom Guarino, Recreation Advisory Council representative; William Hennigan, resident; Paul Kraus, resident; James Ignatiou, resident; Natalie Scarano, alternate 1; Jack Freedman, alternate 2. "I think the appointees are excellent people who want to be very involved," DiMaso said. "Holmdel is really making an effort to get more residents involved in government." DiMaso also said that the township maintains a talent bank with résumés and advertises all committee openings in the monthly township newsletter. "Several of the appointees responded to that and submitted their résumés," DiMaso said. As of Friday, no date for the group's reorganization meeting had been set. - Lori Anne Oliwa
