Incumbent Councilman Anthony Talerico and newcomer Janice Kroposky were sworn in to the Eatontown Council on New Year's Day.

Their friends and families sat in the audience to watch them start their 3-year terms on the council as Eatontown Clerk Karen Siano swore them in as they took their oaths of office.

Talerico was also named council president for the second year.

Talerico and Kroposky, both Democrats, defeated former Councilman Gonzalez this November.

Democrats now hold four of the six seats on the Eatontown Council. Mayor Gerald Tarantolo is also a Democrat.

Borough Attorney Gene Anthony was also sworn in on Tuesday morning to begin another term as the borough's attorney.

The borough also welcomed a new engineer in David Marks from T&M. Marks is also Tinton Falls' borough engineer.
