Effective July 1, Pennsauken Mayor Jack Killion will step down from office, after faithfully serving the Township community for over 19 years.

Killion retired as coordinator of buildings and grounds with the Pennsauken School District, a position he has held for 26 and a half years. Because he is enrolled in the Public Employees Retirement System for both the District and Pennsauken Township as a member of Committee, Killion must retire from the two positions, per state pension retirement rules.

The new appointments for Township Committee have yet to be announced. The swearing in of the new mayor for the rest of the year; a new deputy mayor, if applicable; and a new member of Committee to fill in Killion’s term for the remainder of 2019, will be held at the next Township Committee meeting, Thursday, July 11, 5:30 p.m., at the Township Municipal Building, 5605 N. Crescent Blvd. Township Committee meetings are open to the public.
