West Amwell adopts ordinance updating pay ranges for elected officials and township staff
Summary
The West Amwell Township Committee unanimously adopted Ordinance 06, 2026 on May 6, revising the township compensation schedule; the ordinance lists pay ranges for many positions (example: Mayor $4,307.87; Township Clerk $57,500–$90,000).
The West Amwell Township Committee unanimously adopted Ordinance 06, 2026 on second reading at its May 6 meeting, updating pay ranges and specific rates for township officials and employees.
Mayor Robin L. Deal read the ordinance by title; after no public comment the committee voted by roll call — Balaam, Fitting, Hoyer, Vanderveen and Deal all voted yes — to adopt the measure. The ordinance lists rates and ranges for many positions, including fixed amounts for elected officials (Mayor $4,307.87; Township Committee $3,612.32) and ranges or hourly rates for administrative and technical positions (for example, Township Clerk $57,500–$90,000; Chief Financial Officer $35,000–$50,000; Director of Public Works hourly/salary options were listed in the ordinance). The ordinance also references the township policy manual for benefits and definitions.
Why it matters: the ordinance sets the official pay schedule the township will use for hiring and payroll purposes and repeals inconsistent prior ordinances. The change will govern compensation and posted ranges until amended.
The minutes do not record any dissenting remarks during the hearing; the ordinance took effect after final adoption and publication per state law.
