Gilmore is chairman of the Republican Party of Ocean County and has served as the Lacey Township attorney since the mid-1980s.

Last year, Sharkey voted against the labor counsel appointment because township employee furloughs were not handled appropriately.

Township employees, with the exception of the police department, were served 22 furlough days in 2010, taking a 20 percent cut in their salaries and ultimately saving the township $450,000, which later had to be paid back after grievances were filed.

Township attorney and labor counsel were appointed by a vote of 3-1. Democratic Committeewoman Helen DelaCruz was absent. 

A part from professionals, many volunteers were appointed for various committees.

“Every name we read out today is really doing something to help the community in one way or another,” Committeeman Gary Quinn said on Tuesday. “That’s truly what makes the community the great town that it is.”
