The Town Council unanimously passed ordinance 0124, which sets forth the compensation for town officials and employees.

Public commentary took a contentious turn when resident Dave Marshall raised concerns about the accuracy of posted meeting minutes and the attendance of a zoning officer at board meetings. Marshall presented evidence of 14 instances where he claimed the agenda was not posted in compliance with the 48-hour requirement, countering a public employee’s statement that no such late postings had occurred since February 2022. The exchange became tense, with Marshall demanding an apology for what he considered an accusation against his character. The council did not directly address the substance of Marshall’s evidence, instead advising that the issue would not be litigated during the meeting.

In other council actions, several resolutions were adopted without controversy. These included the authorization of refunds for construction fees, the purchase of a new automated sanitation truck, the reappointment of a Deputy Municipal Court Administrator, and the appointment of a new supervisor for the Township Department of Public Works. Additionally, the council approved a contract for legal counsel representation, highlighting the ongoing need for expert guidance in municipal matters.

The council also introduced ordinance 0224, which pertains to hawkers, peddlers, and itinerant vendors, signaling upcoming discussions around local commerce regulations.

The meeting concluded with councilmember accolades for local student athletes’ achievements and thanks to volunteers at a recent rabies clinic. The council then adjourned to a closed executive session, with the assurance that no further action would be taken that evening.
