BAYONNE — The City of Bayonne appears to be poised for a massive change in profesional services, posting for key positions in nearly every department.The city posted requests positions in the prosecutor’s office, the city’s legal department, the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority, and various boards.
The moves appear to be part of restructuring of city government under the new Mayor Mark Smith, and the foreshadowing of changes expected to take place over the new few months. Several departments may see shifts in leadership, including Municipal Services. The city is also expected to name a new director of Public Safety — which would combine directors of police and fire departments. The fire director position is currently vacant. Mayor Smith currently serves as director of the Police Department.
Steve Gallo, chief of staff for Mayor Smith, said the changes will be occurring over the next few months.
