The Dec. 2 morning meeting of the Barnegat Township Committee marked the final session for Deputy Mayor Albert Bille, who did not seek re-election to a sixth three-year term on the all-Republican committee.

His colleagues paid tribute, as Committeeman Joseph Marte said, “It has been an honor to work with you for the past five years. You have done so much, especially with the recreation department summer concerts down at the dock and activities for the kids.”
