West Norriton Closer to Finding New Township Manager

According to The Times Herald, West Norriton's search for a new township manager may be nearing its end as the board of commissioners plans to hold interviews with three applicants on May 10.

"A discussion of the three candidates will take place right after the interviews to make a final choice," Acting Township Manager Joseph Hein told the Herald. "[Solicitor Robert] Kerns will draw up an offer and we’ll see if it is accepted."

The original field of 33 applicants were whittled down to seven who were interviewed by phone a few weeks ago. Of the seven, three were selected for the final, in-person interviews.

No word on what the salary would be for the position and the request for qualifications stipulates that a contract won't be considered until after "one year of successful service."

The township has been looking for a new manager since the beginning of February when the board inexplicably . Since then, Hein, who served as township manager for almost ten years until his retirement in 2006, has been filling in at the request of the board.

Hein told the Herald the commissioners expect to officially hire someone in either a June board work session or possibly before that in a special meeting.
