Both City Council and the Board of Ed reorganize this week. |
This is the week of City Council and Board of Ed annual reorganizations.
CITY COUNCIL
City Council reorganization takes place Monday at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers/Courthouse. The reorg is usually quite pro forma, with housekeeping decisions and appointments that must be renewed every January.
There are however, some items of interest.
Newly elected Ward 2 Councilor Sean McKenna will be sworn in by Mary Burgwinkle, former longtime treasurer of the Plainfield Democratic City Committee, who famously disagreed with the chair over the succession to the late Assemblyman Jerry Green as Union County party chair.
Appointments to two key boards are below.
PLANNING BOARD
With McKenna going off the board to join the Council, his two-year term will be filled out by Rick Hunt (currently an alternate); Billy Toth will success himself; Jacqui Workman will replace longtime member Anthony Howard in the municipal officer seat; Alma Blanco will move up from Alternate #2 to Alternate #1 and Stacey Welch will become the new Alternate #2.
ZONING BOARD
Robert Graham is being appointed to succeed himself; the appointment of Sandra Harrison does not make clear if she is an alternate or succeeding another member.
BOARD OF ED
Look for the possibility of some drama at the BOE reorg/Work-Study session set for 8:00 PM Tuesday at the PHS Conference Room.
Buzz over the weekend was that the district administration was advising successful candidate Willie Pat Hembree that she would not be sworn in.
This mystified everyone I spoke with since the administration would not under ordinary circumstances voice any opinion on a school board election, and certainly not at this late date. If there were a question, it would be addressed by the Board attorney.
Whatever is going on, there may be some clarification Tuesday. Or there may not.
