The Manalapan Town Commission at its Sept. 24 meeting approved the contract for its new town manager, Eric Marmer.
Marmer replaces Linda Stumpf, who retired after serving 14 years in the position. The commission agreed to hire Marmer in October 2023 as assistant town manager, with the plan for him to replace Stumpf when she left.
Before coming to Manalapan, Marmer served as human resources and risk management director in Highland Beach. His new three-year contract calls for a $170,000 annual salary.
When asked about his appointment, Marmer said he believes he is the right person at a pivotal moment for Manalapan, given the significant investment through residential property enhancements and upgrades to the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa.
He recalls spending holidays in Manalapan.
“It’s especially meaningful to lead a community that I have been coming to since I was a kid,” he said. “As the town evolves, there is a need for fresh, innovative ideas to address future challenges.”
