04:23The council expressed optimism that Kim’s appointment would help advance the township’s operations. Her salary was set at $110,000, and it was noted that she would not be taking any benefits, which is expected to save the town money. The council and administrative staff commented on how Kim’s background and skills, including her proficiency in English and Korean, would be advantageous for the township. Kim is set to begin her role on April 16th, with a swearing-in ceremony scheduled for April 9th.

The meeting also addressed the long-standing vacancy in the township clerk position, which former committee member Linda Bonaface noted had been unfilled since 2021. The council acknowledged the importance of having a certified clerk to ensure efficient governance and expressed confidence in Kim’s ability to fulfill these responsibilities.

02:39In addition to the appointment of the new clerk, the Town Council conducted routine business, including the adoption of a temporary township clerk resolution and the approval of the meeting agenda. The council also opened the floor for public comment, during which Bonaface praised the move to appoint a full-time certified municipal clerk.
