The Wayne township council is offering to make its part-time mayor Chris Vergano full-time, with a pay hike that would boost his salary from $18,750 to $140,000 a year. Vergano, 63, is about to retire from his private sector job as a human resources executive at a plastics company in Lincoln Park. He’s also in the middle of his fourth term as mayor of Wayne – a position that, at least until now, has always been considered part-time.

But all that would change under an ordinance that the council has on the agenda for Wednesday night’s reorganization meeting. The proposed ordinance would make Vergano a full-time employee with all the full-time benefits that department heads enjoy.
