Union City retroactively appoints Mark Zigler as code enforcement officer; one councilor objects
Summary
After interviewing Mark Zigler, the Personnel Committee recommended his appointment as code enforcement officer. Council approved a retroactive appointment; Councilor Uber opposed the motion on residency grounds.
The council retroactively appointed Mark Zigler as Union City’s Code Enforcement Officer following a recommendation from the Personnel Committee.
Council members said the committee interviewed Zigler and found him available to begin training on July 12, 2024; he will be able to begin substantive work on July 29, 2024 and will receive initial virtual training on the iWorqs software. Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Joyce seconded a retroactive motion to appoint Zigler. Councilor Uber opposed the motion, stating Zigler should reside in the borough; the motion nevertheless carried.
Minutes do not indicate whether the council discussed alternate candidates, compensation, or whether the residency concern will trigger a future policy review. The appointment was recorded as retroactive in the minutes, and staff were to proceed with the stated training schedule.
