Mayor Pasquale Menna tells redbankgreen that acting Police Chief Steve McCarthy won’t be given the chief’s job on Sunday, as we reported here earlier today.
Without explanation, Menna says McCarthy will remain as acting chief, and will be sworn in as such at the Red Bank government reorganization meeting on Sunday.
“No action will be taken in terms of a formal appointment of a chief on January 3,” Menna said in a voicemail message left earlier today.
Menna could not be reached for immediate comment this evening.
There’s also this, from a press release issued late this afternoon by deputy borough clerk Pam Hughes Borghi:
Police Commissioner and Councilman Arthur V. Murphy III has announced that Red Bank has rescheduled the announcement and swearing in of the Borough’s new Chief of Police for the Governing Body’s first regular meeting of the year which will take place at 6:30 pm on Monday, January 11.
The decision was made to hold the announcement and swearing-in ceremony separate from the Borough’s annual reorganization meeting in order to better accommodate the family, friends and colleagues who will want to be on hand on that day.

so who’s going to the swearing in?
tomato soup? lord baggy pants? captain numbnuts? your chance to see who kisses Stanley’s ring for the blessing from the godfadda.
Thanks for the shout out watchingyoy, hope you had a nice holiday.
Why continue to hold this reorganization meeting in a location that is way to small in terms of both sitting and standing room to accommodate the large audience that attends (or wants to attend)?
The # of folks that have to stand hidden
in the hallway and away from the sound system is just not right.
I am sure with the good relations with either the Basie or the RB middle school
(like happened with the Economic Summit and the Health Care hearings respectfully), that we could find a date
to relocate the reorganization meeting to one or the other larger venues.

David,
Thanks for bringing up the “problem” at
the town meetings and other events. I have
been in the hall at many meetings and have
to play the whisper game to hear what is said. Annoying is akind word for that, I am amazed that they don’t have a speaker system yet.
I consider it disrespect for the taxpayers.
Of course they should move this to a larger venue. I hope they do it.
Art Murphy said today at the meeting that McCarthy will get the nod. He gets the job on the 11th.
