Township Expecting Big Crowd for Reorg Meeting

Moorestown Township Council is expected to make history Monday night by getting its first female mayor—along with three new council members—so township officials have moved the venue to accommodate a larger crowd.

The meeting, scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, has been moved from the high school to the Lenola Fire House. 

Councilwoman Stacey Jordan is expected to be named mayor, while Councilman Chris Chiacchio will likely be named deputy mayor. Both will be sworn in by Sen. Diane Allen.

Council will also make a number of board and committee appointments, including designating council representatives for the following groups:

• Appearance Committee — Greg Newcomer
• Economic Development Advisory Committee — Stacey Jordan
• Low and Moderate Income Housing Oversight Committee — Phil Garwood
• Open Space Advisory Committee — Victoria Napolitano
• Planning Board — Chris Chiacchio
• Recreation Advisory Committee — Phil Garwood
• Telecommunications and Technology Committee — Victoria Napolitano

Council will also vote to appoint attorney Anthony Drollas, of Capehart Scatchard, as the township solicitor, replacing attorney Thomas Coleman. 

Light refreshments will be served following the meeting.

Council will hold its regular meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14, in the IT room at Mooretown High School.
