Mayor Peter Massa (l.) swears in Dan Pronti (c.) as newest Borough Council member as borough CFO/interim administrator Tom Kane watches.
NORTH ARLINGTON –
The newest member of the Borough Council took the oath of office on Nov. 16.
Dan Pronti, a Republican, was elected to the governing body with fellow Republicans Rich Hughes and Joe Bianchi, both incumbents, on Nov. 5.
Pronti displaced Democratic Councilman Peter Norcia, who was appointed in January to fill the unexpired term of Steve Tanelli, who ran successfully for the Bergen County Board of Freeholders last year.
“This is a great moment in my life to be entrusted by the voters of North Arlington to help govern this community,” Pronti said.
Pronti previously served on the North Arlington Zoning Board of Adjustment and coached soccer and softball for the borough recreation department.
In 2010, Pronti retired from the Montclair Police Department with the rank of sergeant. For nine years, he was a PBA state delegate and is a gold life member of the New Jersey State PBA. In Montclair, he served on the Pedestrian and Parking Safety Boards.
After ending his law enforcement career, Pronti turned to real estate. He is currently a realtor associate and is affiliated with Century 21 Gold Advantage.
Hughes and Bianchi will be sworn in at the council’s reorganization meeting in January.
