Frank and Valerie Montecalvo
The borough of Highlands has lots of nice, generous residents and the Mayor and Council are constantly expressing their appreciation and thanks.
In Resolution 24-144, the Mayor and Council unanimously accepted a donation of a roof gazebo at Huddy Park at Bay and Waterwitch Avenues. The offer, along with several other generous gifts, came from the Montecalvo family on Portland Road.
The borough recently tore down the old gazebo in the park because of its age and deteriorating and unsafe condition.
The Montecalvo family, who own Bayshore Recycling, provided a dumpster to remove and transport the debris from the old gazebo, assuring the governing body debris was going to the recycling center as opposed to any landfill. The family also covered the $1,000 cost of the removal.
Once the debris was removed, the borough purchased a new Bell roof gazebo and had it installed by Backyard Structures for a cost of $13,661. The Montecalvo Family also donated that new facility to the borough with the understanding the borough will maintain it.
The Mayor and Council unanimously adopted the resolution at last week’s meeting, meeting the requirement to make it a matter of public record and authorizing the acceptance of gifts totaling more than $7,500 as well as giving the governing body the opportunity to publicly thank the Montecalvos for their continued generosity.
