Egg Harbor Township’s governing body used the meeting to honor a long‑serving municipal employee who announced her retirement after nearly 47 years at the township. The departing clerk addressed the committee, thanked staff and family, and said she had worked to prepare the office for a smooth transition.

The committee then approved Resolution 5‑58 to appoint Janice (Janice) Hughes as municipal clerk for a three‑year term beginning Jan. 1, 2026, in a separate roll‑call vote. Committee members offered personal remarks of thanks to the departing clerk and welcomed Hughes; the governing body said it will present a formal proclamation at the reorganization meeting.

Why it matters: A municipal clerk handles vital administrative and records functions and the appointment ensures continuity in township operations heading into the new year.
