03:18The appointment of Deborah Seminara as the new Township Administrator was the result of an extensive search process. The council initially undertook the search independently, receiving 19 resumes and conducting several interviews. With time constraints, they enlisted the services of Jersey Professional Management, a firm specializing in municipal executive recruitment. This partnership resulted in 11 additional applications, culminating in a rigorous interview process. Seminara emerged as the standout candidate, bringing significant experience from her roles in various New Jersey municipalities, including her recent position as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Camden County Improvement Authority.

His departure was described as bittersweet by council members, who were grateful for his contributions but supportive of his decision to prioritize personal time and family.
