Lebanon committee reaches consensus to offer Jeffrey Gordon part‑time zoning officer post
Summary
After an executive session on zoning officer interviews, the Lebanon Township Committee reconvened March 5 and agreed to offer Jeffrey Gordon the part‑time Zoning Officer position with a starting salary of $8,500; the executive session was authorized under New Jersey statutes citing employee privacy.
Lebanon Township Committee members on March 5 agreed to offer Jeffrey Gordon the part‑time Zoning Officer position with a starting salary of $8,500 after holding a closed executive session to discuss zoning officer interviews.
The Committee adopted Resolution No. 44‑2025 authorizing the executive session under the Open Public Meetings Act (N.J.S.A. 10:4‑6 et seq.) and N.J.S.A. 40:4‑12, explaining the discussion related to employee matters and would be withheld from the public to protect privacy. Mayor Brian Wunder asked for a motion to adopt the resolution; the motion was moved by Jay Wojcik, seconded by Beverly Koehler, and approved unanimously.
The body entered executive session at 5:40 p.m. and closed it at 6:34 p.m. Upon reconvening, the Committee "was in consensus to offer Mr. Jeffrey Gordon the position of Part Time Zoning Officer with a starting salary of $8,500.00," according to the meeting minutes. The motion to reconvene had been made by Jay Wojcik and seconded by Abe Abuchowski.
The minutes record no separate roll call vote on the hiring offer; the entry describes the Committee as reaching consensus. Meeting procedures before and after the executive session included routine opening and closing of the public comment period (no members of the public spoke) and a motion to adjourn, which passed at 6:34 p.m. The minutes were submitted by Carolynn Budd, RMC, Township Clerk.
The executive session resolution lists "Zoning Officer interviews" as the specific subject whose public disclosure was withheld for privacy reasons. The minutes do not include additional details about the selection process, any employment terms beyond the stated starting salary, or whether the offer was accepted by Mr. Gordon.
