Pitman council authorizes closed meeting on personnel, then approves police roster refill and hiring of 2–3 part‑time SLEO Class II officers
Summary
After adopting Resolution No. 97 authorizing a closed meeting for personnel and contract negotiations, the council returned and approved a motion permitting the Pitman Police Department to fill an open roster position and begin hiring 2–3 SLEO Class II part‑time officers.
At its May 27 work session, the Borough of Pitman council adopted Resolution No. 97, 2025, authorizing a closed meeting to discuss personnel and contract negotiations. Councilman Mazzola presented the resolution; roll-call votes on the resolution were recorded as Yes from Council President James, Councilwoman Guarni, Councilman Mazzola, Councilwoman Musto, and Councilman Uyehara.
The council entered closed session at 7:07 p.m. and reconvened at 7:45 p.m. Upon returning, Councilman Uyehara moved and Councilman Mazzola seconded a two‑part motion: "1) Permit the Pitman Police Department to fill an open roster position. 2) Permit the Pitman Police Department to start the process of hiring 2-3 SLEO Class II part-time officers." The council voted to approve the motion (Ayes all) at 7:47 p.m.
The motion authorizes the police department to proceed with hiring steps consistent with municipal hiring processes and to fill an existing vacancy on the roster. The transcript records no amendments or recorded dissents; the motion passed by unanimous voice/tally as recorded in the minutes.
No additional details on timelines, budgetary impacts, salary ranges, or start dates for the new hires were included in the meeting minutes; those operational details will be determined by the police department and municipal administration in follow-up.
