JACKSON – Township Council members assembled on a recent Thursday afternoon for a special meeting to hire the township’s new clerk, Sandra Martin.
Former Clerk Mary Moss left the position after this year’s January 2 reorganization meeting and is now serving as township clerk of Red Bank in Monmouth County. She served as clerk for two years.
Council President Jennifer Kuhn, Council Vice President Mordechai Burnstein, Business Administrator Terence Wall and Township Attorney Gregory McGuckin met in person and Councilmen Nino Borrelli and Giuseppe Palmeri voted through Zoom for the short meeting to hire the clerk.
Resolution R72-25 called for the hiring of Martin. She previously served as Seaside Park Borough Clerk from March 2017 to January 2024. Prior to that she served as Administrative Assistant to the Administrator/Municipal Clerk for the Township of Ocean (Waretown) from March 2010 to February 2017.
McGuckin told Wall – who had served in the role of the clerk at the council’s prior meeting – that the announcement had been made to the legal newspapers of Jackson prior to the meeting but “whether they published it or not we don’t know but per the statute we provided notice within the period of 48 hours.”
Wall added that the 1 p.m. meeting notice was also posted to the website.
Burnstein made the motion nominating Martin’s hire as clerk. Borrelli seconded it. Councilman Scott Sargent was absent and the rest of council members present voted yes to the resolution.
There were two members of the public present but neither sought to speak during the public comment period and the brief meeting soon ended.
