Tag: Reorganization

Small-town politics, while contentious at times, can be as seemingly wholesome as a breath of fresh air. In large cities, the swearing-in of council members and mayors is performed under strict decorum and with the coldness of efficiency. In Atlantic Highlands, as in other boroughs and towns on the Bayshore, Reorganization Day is a day for the community to celebrate with the families of those elected and often other state and local officials.

The underlying theme of Highlands’ first town meeting of the year was positivity as two returning council members were sworn in, first responders took their oaths of office and Mayor Carolyn Broullon highlighted the borough’s 2023 achievements as well as what’s to come.

The borough’s reorganization meeting was short and bittersweet as new council members were sworn in while the retirement of a key borough employee was announced.

The borough council unwrapped its outlook for 2024 and reflected on the last six months as it transitioned into a new form of government.

To ring in the new year, the Holmdel Township Committee adopted resolutions for fair and transparent governance.
