Pleasantville swears in two new firefighters after unanimous council approval
Summary
Council unanimously approved resolutions appointing Michael St. Just and Aaron Porter Brooks as firefighters; both took the oath of office and Brooks thanked the council, saying he was honored to serve the city that raised him.
The Pleasantville City Council unanimously approved Resolution 58 and Resolution 59 at its April 6, 2026 meeting to appoint Michael St. Just (recorded as St. Justy in parts of the transcript) and Aaron Porter Brooks as city firefighters.
After roll‑call votes with all listed council members voting yes, both appointees came forward and took the oath of office administered for the State of New Jersey. During brief remarks, Aaron Porter Brooks thanked the council: "it'll be an honor to serve the city that raised me," and both were acknowledged and photographed with family members.
The appointments were recorded as part of the meeting's personnel business; no amendments or dissent were raised during the recorded votes or oath ceremony. The council recessed into an executive session later in the meeting to discuss personnel matters; members declined to provide a public summary beyond noting that personnel items were discussed.
Next steps: The appointees are now sworn in and will assume firefighter duties according to department scheduling and onboarding processes.
