New Boards of Supervisors to be Sworn In

The elections are over, the new year is here and that means new Boards of Supervisors will get down to business in both Tredyffrin and Easttown Tuesday night.

Both boards normally meet on the first and third Mondays of the month, but will meet Tuesday this week because of the January 2 legal holiday on Monday.

Tredyffrin's New Board of Supervisors

In Tredyffrin the new board will be made up of seven Republicans after a total GOP sweep of the supervisors races in November.

Kristen Kirk Mayock will be the only 2012 freshman member of the board. She won the an at-large seat vacated by retiring Supervisor Robert Lamina. Lamina was also the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, leaving a vacancy for the job. The chairmanship will be filled tonight in a vote following the swearing in of the newly elected Mayock and the re-elected board members: John "JD" Dibuonaventuro, Paul Olson, and Mike Heaberg.

This will be Heaberg's first full term on the board. He was appointed to an at-large seat in Febrauary 2011 to replace Warren Kampf. Kampf resigned after winning a race for state representative in the 157th District. Heaberg narrowly won a special election against Democrat Molly Duffy in May to hold the seat. He went on to a far more decisive victory in a rematch against Duffy in November.

Paul Olson will continue as the longest serving member of the incoming Tredyffrin board. Dibuonaventuro ran unopposed for his District 2 seat.

Easttown Supervisors

Republican Fred Pioggia will be sworn in as the newest member of the Easttown Board of Supervisors tonight. The Easttown supervisors will also vote for a new chairman to replace Ed Strogen who retired at the end of his term last month.
