He has proposed to sell the Johnson Building which is not an ideal location or building for youth services, to provide the much needed capital to renovate and possibly expand the recreation center. Under Mike's proposal, programs and facilities for seniors and youth would be greatly enhanced at no cost to the taxpayers. Mike is also pursuing additional senior housing to meet Summit's low cost housing obligations. "Mikle has been consistent in the concern for the seniors. We respect him for his efforts," said Grace Poli, past President of the "Summit Seniors". Mike Vernotico has chaired the Public Safety Committee for 3 years and is a leader in pursuing traffic calming initiatives, which are physical improvements to our streets, to slow down traffic.

At Mike’s suggestion, this year’s Capital Budget addresses traffic calming measures, including speed monitor radar signs to warn speeders and direct them to slow down. As a member of the Public Works Committee, he is working with the PTO/PTA Safety Committee to add sidewalks where needed so our children can walk safely to school.
