In a decision, Joseph Vocke was nominated and confirmed as the mayor for 2025. The council members unanimously supported his appointment. Vocke expressed gratitude to his predecessor for their service, acknowledging the improvements in community projects, such as the park project, and the overall management of township affairs. This transition in leadership was met with support from council members, who wished Vocke success in his new role.

The meeting also touched on public accessibility and transparency regarding council proceedings. A member of the public raised concerns about the availability of draft documents and resolutions prior to meetings. The council explained that according to New Jersey law, draft documents are not considered public records and become available only after official approval. This explanation was part of a broader discussion on how the council could improve public engagement without breaching existing legal protocols.

Additionally, the council reviewed and confirmed committee assignments for 2025, keeping them largely consistent with the previous year, with some changes in planning board assignments. A commitment to ongoing community projects, such as the park project, was reaffirmed, with hopes for minimal disruption to residents.

Public comments also addressed the need for better recording and broadcasting of meetings to ensure clarity and accessibility for those unable to attend in person. The council agreed to revisit this topic, acknowledging the importance of transparent communication with the public.
