Council approves agreements and releases with Police Chief John Calamari after closed session

After a closed session on personnel matters that included police-department topics, the Township of Washington Council returned to open session Sept. 22 and voted to authorize the mayor to execute agreements and general releases with Police Chief John Calamari.

The council moved and seconded the measures, then recorded roll-call votes approving the resolutions. Council members present—Councilman Cascio, Councilman Sears, Councilman Ullman, Councilwoman Velez and Council President DeSantis—voted in favor of the motions.

The resolutions were listed on the meeting agenda as authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement and general release between the Township of Washington and Chief John Calamari. The council did not discuss the settlement terms in public at the meeting; the matters were handled in closed session and the resolutions authorize execution of the documents produced there.

No further public details about the agreements were provided during the Sept. 22 open meeting.
