Borough happy with splitting duties

Two borough employees were appointed to share the borough manager's duties and remaining salary until no later than the end of this year.
Morrisville Borough Council is in no rush to hire a new top administrator.
Council President Nancy Sherlock said Morrisville is not actively looking to replace the former manager who retired earlier this month, because the job is being handled by two borough employees.
"We're not looking for anything at this time," Sherlock said, but added anyone interested in the job is welcome to submit their resume.
"We are very comfortable right now with what we have with our acting borough manager and acting assistant and I think that's the way it's going to stand for a little while," she said.
She was referring to acting manager Dorothy Gaydula, the borough's assistant secretary and treasurer, and assistant acting manager Robert Seward, who serves as Morrisville's code enforcement officer and fire marshal.
"Borough council is very satisfied with the arrangement we have in place," Councilwoman Jane Burger said.
Based on a May council vote, the two are sharing the manager's duties (and remaining 2009 salary) until no later than the end of the year.
George Mount III retired from the part-time, $41,000-a-year manager's post June 1 after serving 12 years on the job.
At the same time, he retired from 17 years as the Morrisville Municipal Authority's full-time executive director. He has since been appointed to the authority's board of directors. That board then hired its chairman, John Warenda, as the new executive director. He begins Wednesday.
