Packed Agenda for Tuesday Night's Council Meeting

If you only attend one council meeting all year, make it the meeting scheduled for Tuesday night March 13.

A full-time township manager and a full-time township clerk will be appointed, and the 2012 municipal budget will be introduced, according to the agenda for the meeting posted on the township's website Friday afternoon.

The appointments come one week to the day after the council met in a special meeting to interview candidates for both positions. The interviews took place in executive session.

The full-time manager will replace former manager Steve Bonanni, who retired from the position on Jan. 31. Since that day, former Bridgeton and Hoboken Business Administrator Arch Liston has been serving as the acting interim township manager. Council members have said he is a candidate for the job, but they still conducted an extensive search to find someone to fill the position on a permanent basis.

The full-time clerk will replace Kimberly Hodsdon, who resigned from her position on Jan. 30 after taking over the role on Oct. 4. Hodsdon returned to her previous job as human resources director in Wildwood, a position that remained vacant while she was working in Galloway. Since her departure, Galloway and Absecon have been sharing part-time clerk Leticia M. Loeser.

Before these appointments are made, council is scheduled to introduce the 2012 municipal budget, followed by a self examination of the budget. The township will also increase the deferred school tax amount for the Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District.

The full agenda as posted Friday afternoon is available below:
