New Washington Twp. Council Members Named President, VP
Tom Sears and Peter Calamari, elected in November, will lead the township council in 2014.
Members of the Washington Township Council picked new Councilman Tom Sears as their 2014 president and Councilman Peter Calamari as their vice president during the annual reorganization meeting Monday night.
"My goal is to make this town whole, to bring solidarity," Sears said.
Both Calamari and Sears were elected to their first term on the council in November.
Mayor Janet Sobkowicz, who took her oath of office along with Calamari and Sears January 1, thanked the township's volunteers and employees.
"A lot has been accomplished in the Township of Washington in these four years," she said.
Officials' first task of the year will be working on the 2014 budget, according to Sobkowicz.
"Even though the cell tower is in, we have a lot of work to do," she said.
