Millersville council accepts Darlene Eager's resignation; opens 30‑day application window
Summary
The Millersville Borough Council voted to accept the resignation of Council member Darlene Eager and announced a 30‑day period for residents to submit letters of interest to fill the vacancy; the council president said he will give preference to registered Republicans, a statement some members opposed.
The Millersville Borough Council voted to accept the resignation of Council member Darlene Eager and announced a 30‑day application window for residents to submit letters of interest to fill the vacant seat.
Council President Lane moved to accept the resignation; the motion carried. Council members said letters should be submitted by email to the borough inbox or delivered to borough offices. The council explained the seat requires applicants to be at least 18 years old and to have at least one year of residency in Millersville Borough.
Council President Lane said voters had selected a Republican for the seat in the prior election and that he would "be giving preference to registered Republicans for that seat." Another council member responded, "If I may, I totally disagree with you and I will be giving my vote to whomever I feel would do the best job for the borough." Councilors agreed they have 30 days to make an appointment and encouraged prompt submissions so the full slate of applicants can be considered.
No special appointment process beyond council vote was adopted at the meeting; the council will vote to fill the vacancy after the application window. The borough said it will post vacancy information on the website under "Volunteer Opportunities" and will continue social posts to promote openings.
