Brian Christensen, who was hired by the borough at the end of August, has tendered his resignation, it was announced at Tuesday's borough council meeting. Council gave no explanation for the resignation, citing personnel issues.
Council approved Christensen's hiring at its August 26, 2025 meeting, at a salary “up to $75,000 a year,” pending completion of background check and drug screening. Council also agreed to make available additional training in municipal accounting, before he came on board in September.
● A previous finance manager, Michelle Jenkins, was hired in November 2024 at $72,000 a year but was terminated in May 2025, leaving a 3-month gap before Christensen was hired.
● In September 2024, the borough hired Karen Weiss as finance manager at $72,000 a year. Weiss abruptly quit after a short time.
● In June 2021, council hired Tammy Bennett for the position at an annual salary of $65,407. Bennett served for three years before announcing her resignation in July 2024.
● In February 2021, the borough employed the accounting firm BGA&F. Accountants Peter Barsz and Amanda J. Gattuso from BGA&F managed borough finances in early 2021.
