Chair N. Janyszeski commented that the Board met in Executive Session from 7:05 – 7:35PM to discuss personnel.

The Board discussed hiring a Treasurer or continuing with the Temporary person now in the office.

A motion was made by N. Janyszeski, seconded by B. Keyser, to hire Keith DeLuca, to begin on Monday, October 13, 2008 for a minimum of 30 hours week/maximum of 40 hours week for $18.00/Hr for six months. At the end of the six month period, it can be revisited. It is contingent upon calling a minimum of two references with no negative feedback. Under discussion, H. Gawronski commented that he should be available for monthly meetings. J. Litzenberger requested that it not be up to six months because we are committing his employment and his references are not.

Clarification: Salary $18.00/Hr for six months. At which time he would be re –evaluated and be paid a minimum of $20.00/Hr. N. Janyszeski commented that per Mr. DeLuca noted that he did not have experience in that. He is the lead person of the Bridgeton AA. J. Litz commented that in his opinion, he is not in favor of this hire due to his lack of Quick Books experience. He is not an accountant and has never had any accounting experience. Based on these two criteria, he would say no, and noted that the Township should continue to look for someone who has the necessary experience. H. Gawronski suggested that training be more than two weeks, due to the budget that needs to be implemented. J. Litzenberger agreed that training is the key issue. N. Janyszeski commented that a lot of work has been done to get someone in that position.

A. Eichlin suggested that the Board have the current interim treasurer stay until the 2009 budget has been completed. B. Keyser noted that he would like to have K. DeLuca work with B. Cook to get the experience needed for the budget. N. Janyszeski commented that the hours would be decreased to twenty hours a week for each. The Board agreed to have B. Cook come into the office through the budget.

The motion carried 3-2-0 with H. Gawronski and J. Litzenberger voting nay.

A motion was made by A. Santopietro, seconded by H. Gawronski, to adjourn the work session at 7:50PM. The motion carried 5-0-0.

Respectfully submitted,
