Union City council retroactively appoints Mark Zigler as code enforcement officer; one councilor objects over residency
Summary
The Personnel Committee recommended Mark Zigler for Code Enforcement Officer; council voted to appoint him retroactively with Councilor Uber opposing on residency grounds. Zigler will begin virtual training July 12 and start duties July 29.
Union City Borough Council approved a retroactive appointment of Mark Zigler as Code Enforcement Officer at its July 9 meeting despite one councilor’s objection over residency.
The Personnel Committee interviewed Zigler and recommended him for the position. Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Joyce seconded a retroactive motion to appoint Zigler; the motion carried, with Councilor Uber recorded as opposed because he believed the officer should reside in the borough.
According to the minutes Zigler is available to begin virtual training on the iWorqs software on July 12 and will not begin actual duties until July 29. The personnel committee recommended the hire and council approved the retroactive appointment; no salary or contract details were included in the minutes.
Council did not record a formal tally in the minutes beyond noting the opposition by one councilor. The appointment was presented as effective immediately for training purposes and with a later start date for on-the-job duties.
