Council retroactively appoints Mark Zigler as Code Enforcement Officer despite residency objection
Summary
The council retroactively appointed Mark Zigler as Code Enforcement Officer; Councilor Uber opposed the motion citing residency concerns. Zigler can begin training July 12 with official duties to start July 29.
The Borough appointed Mark Zigler as Code Enforcement Officer by retroactive motion after the Personnel Committee recommended him.
The Personnel Committee interviewed Zigler and recommended his appointment. Manager Cindy Wells told council Zigler could begin training on July 12 (virtual training on the iWorqs software) and would be able to start actual duties July 29. Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Joyce seconded a retroactive motion to appoint Zigler. Councilor Uber opposed the appointment, stating he felt the appointee "should reside in the Borough." Despite the objection, the motion carried.
The minutes do not record a roll‑call tally or any conditions attached to the appointment. The record does not list compensation, reporting lines, or whether the retroactive appointment is limited in scope. The council then entered an executive session later in the evening to discuss personnel; no action was recorded from that session in the public minutes.
Zigler's start dates and the iWorqs training timeline were recorded in the minutes: training beginning July 12 and active work commencing July 29.
