DOVER — The Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Dover have officially reappointed Edward Ramirez as Temporary Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for a one-year term beginning January 28, 2026.
The action was approved through Resolution No. 50-2026, which outlines the statutory requirements for municipalities to maintain a Chief Financial Officer position under N.J.S.A. 40A:9-140.10(a).
The resolution further notes that municipalities may appoint a Temporary Chief Financial Officer for up to one year, with the possibility of two additional one-year terms, subject to approval by the Director of Local Government Services.
Ramirez was first appointed to serve as Temporary Chief Financial Officer effective January 28, 2025, and has continued to fulfill the role since that time.
He currently serves as the Town’s Business Administrator and has agreed to perform the duties of Temporary Chief Financial Officer without additional compensation.
According to the resolution, Ramirez will serve in the temporary capacity for one year commencing January 28, 2026, or until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is hired, whichever occurs first.
The reappointment ensures continuity in Dover’s financial oversight and municipal operations while the town continues its search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer.
