Eric Schubiger Appointed Cinnaminson Township Administrator

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Cinnaminson’s new township administrator has experience serving in some type of township leadership role for the last six years. Eric Schubiger was named the township’s new administrator Monday night. He will assume the position previously held by Michael “Mickey” King.

Schubiger has been the township manager for Eastampton since January 2015, and was the assistant township manager in East Windsor from 2012-2015, according to his resume. He is also an adjunct professor at Rowan College at Burlington County and Ocean County College, and the recreation consultant for the Borough of Roosevelt. He previously served as Recreation Director in East Windsor, Toms River, Jackson, Warren and Bogota.

He holds a graduate certificate in leadership and management from the University of Notre Dame; a master of science in public administration from the University of North Carolina; and a bachelor of arts in politics from the Catholic University of America.

From 2003-15, he was an elected official, serving as a member of the Lacey Township Board of Education. He’s coached youth basketball and football and Little League baseball in Lacey, and was a high school sports writer for the Bergen Newspaper Group.

Schubiger's appointment was approved with a 5-0 vote by Cinnaminson Township Committee at Monday night's meeting, according to the Burlington County Times. He will make $136,500 a year.

He assumes the role after the township reached a $156,000 settlement with King over a whistleblower lawsuit King filed earlier this year. King became Public Safety Director in 2011, and was named Township Administrator two years later. Although both positions were supposed to be temporary, he held them both until he left the township in May. Julie Edmondson had been serving as Acting Administrator.

The public safety position has been eliminated, according to a prior Burlington County Times story.
