On May 17, 2010, the borough manager was awarded his current contract. There was no mention of it in any minutes posted on the borough website for 2010. There is not one newspaper article discussing it like you would see in other towns. It is almost like it never took place. There was no transparency. The public was completely unaware of the perks.
That contract expires
on December 31, 2013. In the next few
months, the Lodi council should have an open discussion at their regular public
meetings about the next contract with regards to the process, their individual
input, and what they are actually handing out.
The Lodi council’s
current term ends July 1, 2015. It would
be unfair to the residents of Lodi to make a new contract beyond that point.
The Lodi council should not hand out anything that they will be embarrassed by. They never thought the public would see that last contract. And they were wrong.
