Robert (Bob) Scottaline has been a resident of Lake Grove for twenty-eight years. During this time, he and his wife Karen raised their two daughters, Kristin and Kerri.

While in his third term as a Trustee of the Village and second term as the Deputy Mayor, Bob was appointed Mayor by the Village Board for the remainder of a two year term. This was to fill the vacancy created when former Mayor Scott Middleton was elected to a four year term as Village Justice.

For his entire tenure as Village Trustee, Bob had also been the Commissioner of The Department of Public Works. As Commissioner of the DPW he restructured the department to be more efficient to deal with our ever-changing Village while keeping expenditure to a minimum.

Bob also served as Commissioner of Parks during the construction phase of Robert J. Henke Passive Park and worked closely with the architect and contractor to assure that the park would be a beautiful addition to the much-admired Lake Grove parks.

Mayor Scottaline has been employed with Lockheed Martin Corporation for the past twenty-nine years where he is currently working on upgrades to the navigation system for the Trident submarine as a Senior Technical Specialist. Before he was elected in 2001, he taught Electronics in the evenings.

Bob is a member of the Lake Grove Lions and has served our community in this capacity for many years.

His goal for the Village is to keep the small village atmosphere with a strong sense of community while dealing with the ever-increasing demands from the influx of new homes and traffic from surrounding communities.
