Council votes to hire new borough manager amid safety concerns
During a recent council meeting, President Fred Bush announced the approval of a contract for the new borough manager, Maggie Dodds. Dodds, who has previously worked with the borough through the Montgomery County Planning Commission, is well-acquainted with local issues, having contributed to the comprehensive plan and engaged with various citizen groups. Following her tenure in Montgomery County, she transitioned to municipal management in West Town, New Hanover Township. The council expressed enthusiasm about introducing her to the community next month.

In addition to the managerial announcement, Mayor Andrea Deutsch addressed public safety concerns regarding vehicle security. She urged residents to lock their cars, refrain from leaving valuables in sight, and avoid leaving vehicles running and unattended. The mayor emphasized the importance of vigilance, reminding attendees that the borough, while friendly, is not immune to crime. Her remarks aimed to encourage responsible behavior among residents to prevent theft and ensure community safety.
