The Livingston Township Council held its annual reorganization meeting on New Year’s Day, Monday, January 1. During the meeting, A1 Anthony was sworn in as mayor, his third time in the lead role, and Ed Meinhardt was named deputy mayor.
Longtime Planning Board chairman Peter Klein, who retired from the board at the end of 2023, was also recognized for his years of service. Klein, who spent 27 years on the Planning Board, including 22 as chairman, was given the key to the town.
New Mayor, Deputy Mayor
Anthony was tapped as mayor for the year following a unanimous vote.
Now the longest tenured Council member at the start of his 12th year, he was previously the mayor in 2016 and 2019.
“Livingston will be very fortunate to have A1 Anthony as mayor in 2024,” Meinhardt said in nominating him, calling him a great family man.
