Commissioners Begin Interviews To Fill Seat On Haddonfield Board

HADDONFIELD, NJ — The first in a series of interviews with candidates for the Haddonfield Commissioner’s Seat vacated by John Mascatelli begin this week, officials announced on Tuesday.

Mayor Neal Rochford and Commissioner Jeffrey Stephen Kasko will interview candidates in three closed session special meetings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The meetings are closed because they deal with personnel issues, according to officials. Interviews will take place as follows:

• Thursday, June 13: 7 p.m.
• Friday, June 14: 9 a.m.
• Saturday, June 15: 11 a.m.

No date was given in which the seat will be filled. Moscatelli announced that he would resign last month because he is moving out of the area. He will formally resign once a replacement is appointed.

That person will serve until a special election is held to fill the remainder of the unexpired term. That special election will take the same day New Jersey will hold general elections, on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Petitions to run in the special election are now available through the clerk’s office and must be completed and returned by Tuesday, Sept. 3. All candidates with valid petitions will be placed on the ballot for the special election. For more information, contact smccullough@haddonfield-nj.gov.
