Council President, Vice President Elected At East Brunswick Meeting

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - During Monday’s Council Reorganization Meeting, Levin McEvoy was reelected Council President and Dana Zimbicki was elected Council Vice President.

Councilwoman Dana Winston nominated Zimbicki for the post.

“There’s no denying her qualifications and experience as an effective leader. With over 25 years as a public school teacher before moving on to serve as the East Brunswick Education Foundation president for the last 12, Dana is the epitome of what leadership should be,” Winston said.

Councilman James Wendell seconded the nomination, saying he got to know Zimbicki while working together on council and is looking forward to working together under her leadership.

Zimbicki was unanimously elected by the council.

Mayor Brad Cohen administered the oath of office to McEvoy and Zimbicki.

Meanwhile, the Township celebrated retiring attorney Michael Baker. The Council adopted a resolution honoring Baker on his retirement.

Baker has been one of the Township's longest-serving attorneys beginning his tenure in East Brunswick Township in January 1997. He served as Township Attorney from 1997 to 2008 and then from 2018 to 2023.

"Mike Baker is an extremely intelligent, extremely committed public servant who has given decades of service to the township and we are all the better for it," Cohen said.

Post retirement Baker is looking forward to continuing his hobbies of farming, woodworking, politics, and travel.
