There were no surprises coming
from the Chadds Ford annual organizational meeting. Supervisors are scheduled
to continue meeting on the first Wednesday of the month and longtime Supervisor
George Thorpe was voted to become this year’s board chairman.
Supervisor Deborah Love will be
vice chairman.
Newly elected Supervisor Keith
Klaver took his place at the dais after being sworn in by Judge Richard
Cappelli.
While Klaver is new to the
Board of Supervisors, he been active in the township for years having chaired
the Sewer Authority and serving as an interim member of the Planning
Commission.
After the meeting, Klaver said
he’s looking forward to his term as supervisor.
“It’s an honor to be elected
supervisor and taking that role in January first. I look forward to the
challenges and being involved with what I think is an outstanding community,”
he said.
Klaver has no specific goals in
mind at this time, but said he thinks the general areas of a supervisor’s
responsibilities, the health, safety and welfare of the community is where
he’ll start.
He also wants to make sure
there are fair and balanced property rights and to make sure there is “an
equitable treatment of all residents.”
Cappelli also performed the
swearing in ceremony for three township employees and a handful of volunteer
committee people who are beginning new terms.
