Monmouth County Names New Administrator
FREEHOLD - Robert Czech, the former business administrator in Middletown Township since 2000, was chosen by the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders to serve as the county's new administrator, succeeding former administrator Louis Paparozzi, who retired this summer.
"I am very pleased to be working on behalf of Monmouth County residents," said Czech. "Monmouth County has an outstanding reputation for being well run and I look forward to working with the board of chosen freeholders and the county departments in their effort to continue to maintain and improve the excellent quality of life we have all come to value and enjoy."
Czech, 53, of Sea Girt, is a licensed attorney and formerly worked as an attorney for the law firm of Scarinci & Hollenbeck, specializing in municipal law and representing public entities in the area of labor relations and related employment law issues.
As county administrator, Czech will earn $170,000, and will oversee the day-to-day operations of county government, which is comprised of 3,500 county employees in more than 60 departments.
Monmouth County has the largest library system in the state, a nationally accredited park system and an exceptional community college and vocational school system. It also coordinates emergency management, maintains 400 miles of paved roads and delivers a level of social services that is among the highest in the state.
"I especially look forward to working with the employees to meet the daily challenges
associated with the delivery of these important
government services," Czech said. "All county employees work extremely hard
every day to deliver these services."
Czech began his public service career in the state Division of Local Government Services within the Department of Community Affairs, and has also served as public manager in Montclair, as other municipalities in Essex and Passaic counties.
He earned his bachelor of arts degree, majoring in English, from the State University in Buffalo, and received a master of Public Administration degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a Juris Doctorate from Seton Hall University Law School.
