Chester County Commissioner Terence Farrell was elected commissioners’ chair during Tuesday morning’s first Board of Commissioners’ Sunshine Meeting of 2015. Farrell previously served as commissioners’ chair in 2009, 2011 and 2012, a county press release said.
Commissioner Kathi Cozzone, the lone Democrat on the board, nominated Farrell as chairman, and Commissioner Michelle H. Kichline nominated Cozzone as vice-chair, a position Cozzone has held since 2011. Kichline was appointed in December to replace former Commissioners’ Chair Ryan Costello, who now represents the Sixth Congressional District in Washington. The votes of the three-member board were unanimous.
“I’m grateful to my colleagues for electing me as chairman of the board for 2015,” said Farrell. “I look forward to working with them collaboratively and effectively to provide an excellent level of services and programs for the taxpayers and families of Chester County.”
