Parkside Council appoints Perry Swagger to fill council vacancy
Summary
At a special April 27 meeting, the Borough of Parkside Council unanimously approved Resolution 1908 appointing Perry Swagger to fill the council seat vacated by Dominic Capobianco; the appointment runs through about Jan. 3, 2028, and passed on a 6-0 roll-call vote.
The Borough of Parkside Council voted unanimously on April 27 to appoint Perry Swagger to the council seat left vacant by Councilman Dominic Capobianco, whose resignation took effect March 28, 2026. Council adopted Resolution 1908 by roll call, with a 6-0 tally recorded by the borough secretary.
The resolution, read into the record at the special meeting, cites Article 9 of 905 of the borough code on vacancies in office and names Swagger as the most qualified candidate to fill the office. The solicitor clarified during discussion that the appointed term will expire on or about Jan. 3, 2028, and that "if the candidate wishes to serve beyond that period of time, he would need to stand for election at next year's municipal election and be a successful candidate in that municipal election," language read on the record by the solicitor.
The roll-call vote recorded "yes" from Mr. Ball, Mrs. De Dominico, Mrs. Haines, Mr. McClary, Mr. Scroback and Mrs. Sweeney, yielding a 6-0 approval. The council then resolved that Perry Swagger is appointed to fill the existing council vacancy with the term running through about Jan. 3, 2028. The council confirmed that an executed, notarized affidavit of residency is on file with the borough secretary, which made Swagger eligible for the appointment.
