Donna Costello appointed to Old Tappan council vacancy
Summary
Following county committee submissions of three nominees, the borough council nominated and appointed Donna Costello to fill a recent council vacancy by roll call; the mayor will arrange the oath of office before the next meeting.
Following notification from the county committee that three names had been forwarded to the borough to fill a recent council vacancy, councilmembers moved to nominate and appoint Donna Costello. After a motion and second, the council recorded affirmative roll‑call votes and the mayor said he will arrange for Costello’s oath of office before the next meeting.
A council member who had reviewed candidates’ background materials praised Costello’s qualifications and prior school‑board experience. The mayor said the county committee had interviewed five applicants and forwarded three names to the borough under state statute; council acted within the statutory timeline to fill the vacancy.
What happens next: the mayor will contact Costello to schedule an oath, and council members said they will reach out to welcome the new member before the next public meeting.
