Chadds Ford Township now has a new supervisor. Timotha Trigg was sworn into office during the annual reorganization meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 2. She replaces Noelle Barbone who chose not to run for reelection last year.
Trigg will serve a six-year term. She had been on the Planning Commission, but she officially resigned from that commission, and supervisors appointed Carolyn Daniels to replace her. Daniels will serve the remainder of Trigg’s term on the Planning Commission, which runs through the rest of this year.
Also, during the reorg, Samantha Reiner was voted in as chairman and Frank Murphy as vice chair. Bob Reardon and Bill Mock were reappointed to the Zoning Hearing Board and Dennis Henry was appointed to the Sewer Authority.
Other appointments and reappointments included Lacey Faber as township manager, Emily Pisano as assistant manager, Mike Maddren as solicitor, Mike Schneider as engineer, Tom Comitta as land planner, and Phil Wenrich as roadmaster, fire marshal, and emergency management coordinator.
Other business
• During the regular monthly meeting that followed the reorganization, supervisors approved certificates of appropriateness for the Brandywine Conservancy to demolish five buildings on the conservancy’s campus that were damaged in the 2021 flooding from Hurricane Ida. The approval came with several conditions that include shared parking for Walkable Chadds Ford, screening of parking areas, and that the conservancy create and maintain a boat launch area with free parking on property it owns farther south along the Brandywine Creek.
• The board tabled a decision on awarding a contract for improving the audio/visual system in the municipal building’s meeting room. Residents, those who attend meetings in person, and those who watch via Zoom, have complained about the poor sound quality.
Faber recommended a bid by DelCo Solutions, of Broomall, as the most comprehensive. The proposal said the company would improve the audio for in-house and Zoom participants, and that it would allow those watching on Zoom to see the main dais, presenters, and computer presentations, something that doesn’t happen now. The bid was for more than $29,000, and Reiner thought that was too steep a price and wanted more information. Trigg agreed and the decision was delayed.
