Board Of Supervisors Reorganizes

The Board of Supervisors held its annual reorganization meeting on Tuesday, January 3.

At the meeting, Supervisor Scott Badami was elected chair, Supervisor Kim Koch was elected vice-chair, and Supervisor Michele Minnick was elected second vice-chair. Supervisor Jeff Campolongo will serve as secretary and Supervisor Joyce Keller as treasurer.

“Being elected to the Board of Supervisors was the honor of my professional career and now being appointed as chair of the Board of Supervisors is truly humbling,” said Board Chair Scott Badami. “I’d like to thank my colleagues for this honor and especially our previous Board Chair, Kim Koch, for her dedicated leadership and boundless enthusiasm for our community.”

Leaf Collection Day Changing For Some

Residents who live on the north side of Skippack Pike will continue to have leaf and yard waste collected on Wednesdays.

With the change, the next collection days are this Monday, January 9 for the south side of Skippack Pike and Wednesday, January 11 for the north side of Skippack Pike.
