Summary
At its Feb. 3 reorganization meeting the Franklin Township Sewage Authority elected a new chair, administered oaths to newly seated members and approved a slate of routine appointments including consulting engineer, board auditor, general counsel and financial consultant.
The Franklin Township Sewage Authority held its reorganization meeting Feb. 3 and formalized leadership and consultant appointments for the coming year. After administering oaths to newly seated members, the board elected its chair and confirmed officers and consultant firms that will advise the authority.
A temporary chair presided while the Clerk administered oaths of office to Commissioner Theresa Ford, Commissioner Arnold Schmidt and alternate member Robert Kovacs. The Clerk led each member through the oath: “Do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of New Jersey” (Clerk). The newly elected chair then took the gavel and thanked members for their support: “I’m truly delighted to be chosen as your new chair,” the Chairman said.
The board approved a set of annual administrative appointments by roll call. The authority named CME its consulting engineer and appointed PKF O’Connor Davies as board auditor. Bernstein and Associates LLC was selected as general counsel, NW Financial LLC as the financial consulting firm, and TD Bank as the official depository. The Courier News was designated as the official newspaper. The board also approved the slate of authorized check signatories and reauthorized a petty cash fund.
The meeting confirmed committee memberships for the negotiation/personnel, municipal liaison, construction and safety committees. Kimberly Francois was appointed municipal liaison; the construction and safety committee rosters were maintained or adjusted as noted during roll call votes.
The reorganization meeting adjourned after the routine business, and the regular meeting opened immediately afterward. The board’s actions were procedural and passed by recorded roll calls showing affirmative votes from the members present.
