That is not a good point. Do you have a part time boss? The township administrator is responsible for the whole township staff. They have to be there to manage the staff, conduct the workings of the township, attend meetings with other entities etc... Did you attend the meeting and ask the question?

But if I were reasonable, I would not be on the internet. It is a plot. A dirty Chi-com plot to take over Cranbury. They will then flouridate or water and take control of our precious bodily fluids. The TC is made up of liberal commies. Actually the fluoridation will be used for mind control.

Now 1 person 7 hrs per day. I guess I must be using the same bad math as guest 666 is using. Unless the new person is working14 hr day's this doesn't seem possible. The outgoing administrator was a waste of money for the town. She should have gone years ago.
Guest	Posted: Tue, Oct 26 2010, 5:41 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: The October 25, 2010 Township Committee meeting agenda I believe that the CFO position is part time and has been.

Guest 666	Posted: Tue, Oct 26 2010, 4:57 pm EDT    Post subject: Re: The October 25, 2010 Township Committee meeting agenda How is one person going to be able to do the work of 2 full time employees? I understand that it will save money but I don't understand why we had 2 seperate positions before this if one person can do the job now. That must mean that before these 2 positions should have been part-time. There must have been alot of down time for the 2 positions before this.nobody thought to look at this before? I must be using different math to figure this out. e

I think Ms. Marabello will do a fine job and I congratulate her. It's nice that our Town Administrator and Police Chief are all town residents as well.

Sounds crazy to me! If you look at the APP website under Data Universe, you can see all State employees and how much money they make. Looks like most people who make that much money are judges, research scientists, etc. I think you will be hard pressed to find another Township Administrator in a small town like Cranbury making that much money. Even if that was the going rate pre-great recession, salaries have deflated since. Unless there is a good reason not to, they should start at least 15% lower. The position was discussed tonight. They are eliminating the role of the administrator when Ms. Smeltzer retires and promoting Ms. Marabello to be both the CFO and Administrator. So one person will be doing two jobs saving us salary and benefits.
