The council also addressed the filling of a vacant Ward 2 council seat. Joseph Warham was appointed to the position, following a legal process that required the local Republican party to submit three potential candidates. Warham, who has been involved in local advisory boards and community service, will serve temporarily until the next general election, where he may run to complete the term through 2026.

Recognition was given to David Perry, a long-serving public servant and former Deputy Mayor, who recently retired after more than 50 years of service. Perry’s contributions to Lower Township were celebrated by his colleagues and county officials, acknowledging his unwavering dedication and impact on the community.
