Margate business administrator Ken Mosca resigns.

Thursday's committee agenda included a resolution to fire Mosca, but it was withdrawn after he submitted his resignation earlier in the day, city officials said.

The city did not say why Mosca submitted his resignation, but said “the manager was appointed at the will of the commissioner,'' and “the previous administration appointed him,'' said Margate City Clerk Johanna Casey. he said.

“The committee form of government does not require a corporate administrator,” Casey said. The committee will decide on a course of action at a later date. ”

Mosca could not be reached for comment.

Commissioner Maury Blumberg, who has served on the commission since 2007, Katherine Horn, and current Mayor Michael Collins won their seats on the commission in the city's nonpartisan election in May. They defeated incumbent John Amodeo and Mayor Michael Becker.

Mr. Mosca was hired as city administrator by Mr. Blumberg, Mr. Amodeo and Mr. Becker in January 2023 on a three-year contract. Records show the contract pays him $125,000 in 2023.

In addition to his role as a government and community affairs liaison at Atlantic City Electric Co., Mosca has served as administrator for Ocean Township and Lynnwood.

He replaced Richard Deeney last year, who served as city administrator for 11 years through a professional services contract with Jersey Professional Management.
