New manager and meeting time for Chadds Ford

Chadds Ford Township has a new manager, at least on an interim basis. Supervisors hired Judy Lizza following last month’s resignation of Joe Barakat.

Lizza is a former manager in Upper Chichester. Before that she worked for state Rep. Stephen Barrar. She was first hired on Dec. 17 and the interim appointment was reaffirmed during the Jan. 7 organizational meeting. Her salary is $1,470 per week.

When Barakat resigned, supervisors said they would hire someone on an interim basis before doing a search for a long-term replacement.

During that same meeting, Supervisor Deborah Love was elected to be chairman and George Thorpe vice chairman.

Love announced that the monthly meetings would now begin at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of the month and the workshop session, held the Monday before, would start at 3:30 p.m.

Hugh Donaghue was reappointed township solicitor and Joe Mastronardo, of Penoni Engineering was reappointed as township engineer.

Paul Koch was appointed to another three-year tern on the Zoning Hearing Board; Deb Reardon will serve another two-year term on the Open Space Committee and Marc Altman will serve a five-year term on the Sewer Authority.
