Bellmawr Council approved a list of new hires at its May 26, 2016 Council meeting. Resolution #05:120-16 authorized the acceptance of new hires for the Borough of Bellmawr “as per attached.” Because the list was not attached to the agenda, SJO requested a copy of this list from Borough Clerk Chuck Sauter after the meeting and he provided it.

SJO was only aware of job openings within the Borough of Bellmawr for the Highway Department and for EMTs and shared these postings on Facebook:
Additionally, yesterday SJO sent an email to the Borough asking for information concerning the openings within the Police Department because of vacancies due to the recent retirements that have taken place since the beginning of the year.
The email stated: “As for the vacancies left in the police department because of the recent retirements, when will the Boro start to advertise and interview for those open positions? How many openings are anticipated?”
SJO will provide all of the information in a future article once it is received.
