Sergeant Reynolds named investigator; council approves several reappointments
Summary
Council approved assigning Sergeant Reynolds to the investigator role at the chief's discretion and reappointed David Sykes, Dan Ziegler and Mary Lyons to borough boards and commissions.
The Millersville Borough Council approved several personnel actions, including reappointments to local boards and the assignment of a police investigator.
On personnel matters, a council member moved to reappoint David Sykes to the park commission with a term ending Dec. 31, 2028, and Dan Ziegler to the vacancy board with a term ending Jan. 1, 2027; both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote. A separate motion to reappoint Mary Lyons from alternate to regular membership on the civil service commission (term to Dec. 31, 2031) was recorded as having no second on the record; council nevertheless proceeded to a voice vote and approved the appointment.
Council discussed investigator staffing in the police department, noting the department has had two investigators in the past but had been down to one since personnel changes. Two internal applicants were identified—Sergeant Kavanaugh and Sergeant Reynolds—and the mayor and others described how hours would be realigned so that an investigator would be available evenings and every other weekend. A motion was made to assign Sergeant Reynolds to the investigator role at the discretion of Chief Markovich, with the timing contingent on hiring a replacement officer. The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Next steps: The chief will determine the timing of Sergeant Reynolds’s reassignment based on hiring and operational needs; borough staff will update commission rosters and terms in the municipal records.
