NO DEPUTY MAYOR IN WINSLOW TOWNSHIP

In the past UNofficially Winslow has been unable to find official documentation for the title of Deputy Mayor. The form of government that Winslow Township operates under does not, and never did, specify a Deputy Mayor.

The governing body that Winslow calls the Township Committee is able to create any position the body feels is necessary.

In the past, when the position of Deputy Mayor existed, the seat was filled not by appointment of the Mayor, but rather with the process of a Resolution. The governing body, ultimately the controlling party, named a Deputy Mayor to chair the meetings and sign checks in the absence of the Mayor.

In review of the material presented on UNofficially Winslow, presentation of the Township meetings on Comcast channel 13, and by attendance of the open public meetings, one can assume that in the past Committeewoman Holcomb was something less than a Deputy to Mayor Metzner. And furthermore that Holcomb over stepped the original intentions of the position.

On January 6, 2006 the Township Committee did NOT appoint a Deputy Mayor, but rather appointed Committeeman Cooper to chair the Township meetings and sign checks in the absence of the Mayor.


HOLCOMB:
"I just think I'll say no to this one."

The crowd cheers after the resolution passes with the majority voting "Yes".
