High Bridge council amends interim administrator hours after executive session

Borough of High Bridge · July 16, 2026

Summary

Following an executive session on personnel, contracts and PILOT negotiations, council retroactively increased the interim administrator's hours from 15 to 20 per week effective June 15, 2026; motion passed 6-0.

The council moved into executive session during the July 16 meeting to discuss PILOT negotiations, administrator contract negotiations, contract negotiations for South Branch Emergency Services, Inc., and potential litigation (Resolution 171-2026). The minutes record that action may be taken after the closed session.

After returning to open session, the council adopted a motion to amend Resolution 142-2026 to change the interim administrator's hours from 15 to 20 per week, retroactive to June 15, 2026. The motion (Murdock/Ferry) passed on a 6-0 roll call vote.

The minutes do not provide compensation figures associated with the hour change; the amendment specifies only the change in hours and the retroactive effective date. The executive session topics included multiple negotiation items and potential litigation, but the minutes record only the subjects discussed and the resulting administrative change.
