Township Engineer Named Cinnaminson Public Works Superintedent

CINNAMINSON, NJ — When Cinnaminson Township Committee appointed a Superintendent of Public Works on Nov. 20, it signaled the conclusion of one of the most controversial issues in the township over the past year.

Todd Day was appointed Cinnaminson Township Superintendent of Public Works at the Committee’s Nov. 20 meeting. He also serves as the township’s engineer. He is paid $90,000 to serve as the Superintendent of Public Works, and $50,000 to serve as Township Engineer.

He was appointed after the township began a new search to fill the Superintendent of Public Works position. Former Deputy Mayor William “Ben” Young had been seeking the position, but withdrew his name from consideration after his application for the position sparked concerns from some residents over the impact getting it would have on his pension.

Day, a Remington and Vernick employee, serves as the engineer for both Cinnaminson and Haddonfield, according to his resume provided by the township. He has also been the engineer for the Cinnaminson Planning Board.

He was formerly the engineer in Merchantville, Lakewood, Edgewater Park, Haddon Heights and Paulsboro.
He also has experience through Newtown, Pa.-based Pickering, Corts and Summerson Inc. leading inspections throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including underwater inspections of large river crossings, from 2002 through 2005.

He worked on various construction projects including freeway bridge crossings, bridge retrofits, culvert expansions, roadway reconstructions and building renovations with Vali Cooper and Associates in California from 1996 through 2002.

He also worked in the California State Department of Transportation as a staff designer from 1988 through 1996. He has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Ohio State University, and multiple registrations and certificates, including as a Certified Public Works Manager in the State of New Jersey.
