Summary
The Winfield Township Committee approved Ordinance No. 466 on first reading June 16, 2025, establishing 2025 pay rates for several township positions including the township clerk and bookkeeper; the ordinance is scheduled for final adoption July 21, 2025.
The Winfield Township Committee on June 16 approved on first reading Ordinance No. 466, which sets salaries for specified township officials and employees for 2025 and schedules a second and final reading for July 21, 2025.
The measure, introduced and moved by Commissioner Adam Koomer and seconded by Commissioner Joseph Byrne, passed “with all members present voting in the affirmative,” according to the meeting minutes. The ordinance will be returned for final passage and publication at the July 21 meeting; the text states it would be effective beginning Jan. 1, 2025, following final adoption and publication as required by law.
The ordinance text read at the meeting lists a salary schedule for a number of positions. Notable items in the schedule include: Township Clerk $66,868.59 per year (biweekly pay), Chief Financial Officer $20,000.00 per year (biweekly), Administrative/Bookkeeper $52,133.02 per year (biweekly), Municipal Judge $11,439.98 per year (biweekly), Court Administrator $16,877.89 per year (biweekly), Deputy Court Administrator $25.03 per hour, and several sub-code official stipends (for example, Building Sub-Code Official $5,358.06 per year). The ordinance text also references police personnel pay to the chief and the PBA contract; the ordinance text does not specify salary amounts for police personnel in the record provided.
The committee did not take a final vote on adoption at the June 16 meeting; members scheduled the required second reading and final vote for July 21, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the Municipal Building. The ordinance cites the Open Public Meetings Act procedure for public notice at the start of the meeting and indicates that inconsistent prior ordinances are repealed to the extent of the conflict.
Meeting minutes list Commissioner Koomer and Commissioner Byrne as the mover and seconder for the introduction and first reading; the minutes record unanimous affirmative votes among members present. The minutes include the full salary schedule as read into the record.
