Mayor Makes Committee Appointments for 2013
Appointments for 2013 for all borough positions were made during the annual reorganization meeting Tuesday.
A routine part of the annual reorganization meeting includes the mayor's appointments to all borough positions as well as the appointment of council members to the committees of which they will serve as commissioner for the coming year.
Among the council members not much was changed from last year to this year as far as which council persons will head up which departments in the borough.
Pamela Link continues to serve was commissioner of Finance, Justin DiPisa as commissioner of Police and David Gonzalez as commissioner of Fire, Streets and Sanitation. Sonya Buckman remains the Recreation commissioner and Russell Lipari remains comissioner of Heallth and Land Use.
Newly sworn-in Councilman Christian Semenecz will serve as commissioner of Public Facilities and Transportation.
In addition Mayor Rose Heck named all the appointments to borough positions and the various boards and committees in the borough.

It was mentioned in one of the posts written on agenda items for one of the council meeting where the ordinance on his tenure was to come up.

Sure it was on Nov. 27 - http://patch.com/A-zNPB it was mentioned here the ordinance to give Spindler tenure was on introduction. The public hearing would have followed at the Dec. 11 meeting. A story was posted on Dec. 11 announcing the superstorm Sandy forum preceding the council meeting and the council meeting, and the attached agenda shows the public hearing listed.

Ok so the public meeting should have followed the Dec. 11th meeting where was the date of that meeting printed or was it not a public meeting as it was stated it would be.

It was conducted as part of the Dec. 11 regular meeting just as the agenda suggested. No one came forward during the public hearing and it was approved afterwards.

The records would be on file at borough hall then and they can be requested. That's all I can suggest at this point.
