NJ JEFFERSON — Jefferson Township Council reorganized for 2026, electing Josh Kalish as Council President and Mrs. Garruto as Vice President, while tabling four professional services contracts for future consideration. Council President Kalish outlined three key priorities: addressing township challenges, encouraging substantive public participation, and promoting respect among all stakeholders.
Mayor Wilsusen's appointments to boards, commissions, and professional positions were confirmed, and the Council approved 45 routine resolutions including the 2026 meeting schedule, cash management plan, and temporary budget. The professional services contracts tabled—labor attorney, township attorney, township planning, and public defender—will require separate votes at a future meeting.
