Byram manager announces police chief retirement and warns of large health‑insurance increase
Summary
Township Manager Joseph Sabatini informed the council that the chief of police will retire on Jan. 1, 2026, and that health‑insurance costs for the township will increase by more than $700,000 for the coming period.
Township Manager Joseph Sabatini told the Byram Township Council on Oct. 7 that Resolution No. 177‑2025 affirms the retirement of the chief of police effective Jan. 1, 2026. The minutes record the chief’s name in the resolution as 'Marianni.' Sabatini also said health‑insurance open enrollment is open through Oct. 30, 2025, and that the township’s increase to health‑insurance costs will exceed $700,000.
Sabatini said department and capital‑budget discussions will follow in upcoming meetings. He also reported that gas‑line installation work is underway on Mansfield Drive and will then proceed to Lackawanna Drive.
Council members noted attendance at community events and local meetings, including the Mansfield Superfund meeting where preliminary timelines for waterline installation were discussed.
The council did not take immediate action on the retirement beyond adopting the resolution affirming it during the consent agenda; follow‑up personnel and transition steps were not detailed in the minutes.
