Bevan Appointed to the Position of Community Relations Specialist

Gloucester City Mayor and Council at Thursday\’s work session (May 17) approved the hiring of Robert Bevan to the position of Community Relations Specialist at a salary of $28,000.

Councilman Nick Marchese said he is thrilled to have former mayor Bevan on board. ” His experience as our mayor for eight years will be a big help to the new administration.”

Bevan served two terms as Gloucester City mayor in the 1980s. He was a staunch supporter of the James ticket (Bill James, Jay Brophy, Marchese); and was instrumental in helping them get elected in November 2006.

Marchese said City Administrator Paul Kain will be returning to work on Monday, May 21. Kain has been on sick leave since mid-March.

“We are very happy to have Paul back to work. And I believe he and Bob will work well together.”
