ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Atlantic City’s Municipal Utilities Authority passed a vote that voids a controversial resolution to give $3,000 gifts to its board of directors that MUA officials insist never existed.
Resolution 199, which stipulated that board members with at least five years of service receive payments this month, was signed by vice chair Gary Hill on Nov. 28 and posted on the MUA’s website.
After news of the resolution came to light, MUA members have said it was never intended to be voted on and its posting was a “processing error.”
Instead the water authority claims it meant to provide the bonuses to outgoing board members, something it has always done. But Resolution 199 didn’t include such language.
Hill says he mistakenly signed the wrong resolution. The new vote was cast Wednesday.
