Jozef Štefaňák is the independent mayor of Vysoké Tatry, Slovakia. He has been actively involved in local governance and has faced various challenges related to municipal services, particularly in waste management. Recently, he proposed an increase in the annual waste collection fee to address financial shortfalls but faced opposition from residents, leading to a petition against the city's decision to change the waste collection frequency to biweekly. Štefaňák has emphasized the need for sustainable financial practices in local governance, balancing the budget constraints with the expectations of residents and tourists.
