Resolution 174-2024 by which Teaneck’s Council on June 18 appointed Jaclyn Hashmat as Teaneck’s new Township Manager described some key elements of the appointment but failed to include the employment contract itself. When a resident asked why no contract, Township Attorney Salmon acknowledged the slip up – and the contract is now publicly available.
In the post below, Teaneck Voices provides its readers with BOTH the appointing resolution and the entire employment contract as well. Noteworthy is the fact that the Contract includes provisions not indicated in the resolution, i.e. a $6K per year car allowance and a provision committing the Town to cover Ms. Hashmat’s August 2024 Fortythreehundred $ Cobra payment.
