The Township of Washington honored four longtime municipal employees during its Dec. 15 council meeting, presenting retirement recognitions and plaques for decades of service.
DPW foreman Gerard Casey was recognized for 28 years of service. The meeting leader presented a plaque "in honor of 28 years of service to the town" and handed it to Casey on behalf of the Township of Washington.
An unidentified speaker offered a public tribute to Casey, saying, "I'm very happy that you are retiring in good health, because that is a very grueling job that you guys do every day... You always serve the residents with a proud smile," and thanked him for his long service. The record shows additional recognitions were announced for Police Chief John Calamari (32 years) and Sergeant Severio Fasiano (27 years), and for a DPW mechanic identified in the record as having 24 years of service.
The meeting leader noted the police chief and the sergeant would receive an additional award from the police association (appearing as "PBMs" in the record) but that association representatives would not attend. The leader also noted a person referenced as "Mr. Scherer" was not present. Councilwoman Velez was recorded as participating via Zoom. Mayor Peter Calamari, township administrator Mark DeCarlo, township attorney Sharron Bailey and township clerk Susan Witkowski were listed as in attendance.
No formal motions or votes were recorded in the available transcript excerpt for the retirement recognitions; the agenda proceeded after the presentations.
