Summary

Parents and part‑time recreation staff said summer-camp and part‑time workers were furloughed around the July 22 payroll period; the business administrator said furloughed staff will be paid in the upcoming pay period and refunds to parents will be placed on the August agenda.

Several residents and staff members at the hearing said temporary furloughs at the end of the July pay period caused hardship for families and employees of the township’s recreation programs. Parents asked whether part‑time staff would be paid for missed days and when refunds for missed camp days would be processed.

The business administrator answered that part‑time staff will be paid in the upcoming pay period and that resolutions to authorize refunds will be placed on the August council agenda. A parent at the podium said two camp days were missed and pressed for prompt action; the BA confirmed the administration will put the refund resolution before the council at the next meeting.
