Per state law, all municipalities in Pennsylvania are required to reorganize on the first Monday of January, unless that happens to be the New Year's Day holiday. The reorganization includes, among other things, voting for supervisor’s chair and vice chair, and swearing in new appointees if needed.
In Chadds Ford Township, Timotha Trigg is the new supervisors’ chairman and Kathleen Goodier is the vice chair. Lacey Faber was reappointed as township manager, Mike Maddren as township solicitor, and Mike Schneider as engineer. Tom Comitta was also reappointed as land planner. Additionally, Carolyn Daniels and Tom Bradley were reappointed to the Planning Commission and Paul Koch will serve another term on the Zoning Hearing Board.
After several years of being the chairman, now Supervisor Samantha Reiner said she’s “delighted we have talented supervisors we can lean on to rotate the chairmanship.”
Things remain status quo in Concord Township. Domini Pileggi is again council president and the two Johns, Gillespie and Crossan are the co-vice presidents.
