The new Township Council and Mayor were sworn in today before a very large audience which packed the Council Chambers, making for standing room only.
Municipal Clerk Linda Wanat presided over the oaths of office and former First Ward Councilor Gerry Tobin presented Mayor Jerry Fried with a gavel – appropriately decorated with a small bicycle chain tied with ribbon.
Following the Oaths of Office the new Township Councilors gave brief comments and passed several resolutions authorizing appointments to the Board of School Estimate, the Planning Board and designating Roger S. Terry as Deputy Mayor of Montclair.
The ceremony was followed by a reception at Montclair High School’s George Inness Atrium.
The new Council’s next scheduled meeting will take place Tuesday, July 8, at 8:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, 205 Claremont Avenue, Montclair. |
