Stated it was an honor to work with Clerk Kisty, while he is finishing up his first year, she is leaving already and they had a nice system going. Wishes she can stay forever; she is the special glue that held them together on the governing body. Wishes her all the best that retirement could offer. Stated to enjoy every minute of this wonderful world with her family and friends and don't forgot to visit us.
Congratulated Diane Festino, Mary Moss and Xiomara Ortiz in their new roles and looks forward to working with them.
In closing wished our fellow residents and Jackson Township employees a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2022.
COUNCILMAN CHISHOLM- Stated it has been nice pleasure working with Clerk Kisty; while it has been a rather short time you have been a credit to this Council, Jackson Township and just to our residents and she will certainly be missed. He does wish her the absolute best and to have a great time with those grandkids making a lot of memories.
Pat Wood as just mentioned she was a credit to our town and for more than 30 years she served Jackson Township in many capacities; not only with the DPW but also he worked with her often on the Chamber of Commerce and she led the Holman Theater Company and several other charities and activities. She's been very active and she will certainly be missed. If you knew Pat stated just like Councilman Borrelli said that she did not hold or pull any punches but you know she called him as she saw them. That was a good thing for sure without a doubt and she will be missed. Condolences to her family and friends.
Wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and God Bless in 2022.
COUNCILMAN SAUICKIE- Gave condolences to Pat Wood and her family. He is a former Jag and graduated with Pat's son Wayne; stated he has known the family for quite a while. She was a great woman, she worked for the town and outside of the job she worked for the town. She spent a lot of time really devoting herself her time, her family's time to making Jackson better and her loss was unexpected and she will be missed.
Congratulated Council President Kern on finishing his first year as Council President. Also, noted that Council President Kern is introducing an ordinance tonight Ordinance 33-21; related to signage something that residents of the town have mentioned as a quality of life concern for them. He is happy to see him introducing that and congratulated him on another ordinance introduced in the best interests of the residents of this town.
With our departing Clerk he has said it numerous times and said it again tonight that our Clerk’s Office is second to none in the State. Those in the audience who work in the Clerk’s Office along with their fearless leader for the last several years congratulated them on being second to none in the State.
Congratulated Diane Festino on moving up and everybody else moving into new roles within it.
As Council President mentioned he was the first to be sworn in but we all know that Councilman Sauickie was the favorite being sworn in and it also meant a lot to him to have Clerk Kisty swear him in when he first took office. Thanked Clerk Kisty for all of the hard work, for the fun times which he thinks we've had many, some of the hard times and all the work. It makes him happy anytime he sees somebody happy and healthy retiring as too many people retire and don't have many years ahead. You have plenty and he expects Clerk Kisty to enjoy it and wished her the best. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a happy and safe New Year.
