Council retroactively appoints Mark Zigler as Union City code enforcement officer despite residency objection
Summary
Union City Council retroactively appointed Mark Zigler as code enforcement officer with training to begin July 12 and active duties July 29; Councilor Uber opposed the motion citing a residency concern but the appointment carried.
The Personnel Committee recommended Mark Zigler for the Code Enforcement Officer role and told council he could begin training on July 12 with full duties starting July 29. Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Joyce seconded a retroactive appointment at the July 9 meeting; the motion passed despite Councilor Uber’s objection that Zigler should reside in the borough.
Manager Cindy Wells said Zigler can receive some training virtually on the iWorqs software before he begins field work at the end of July. The minutes record the appointment as retroactive and note that Zigler is available to start training on July 12.
Council did not record a formal vote tally beyond noting the motion carried and the presence of one recorded opposition. No further conditions or residency requirements were added in the meeting minutes.
