On Jan. 5 Evesham Township Council and the Evesham Township School District Board of Education held their reorganization meetings and first meetings of 2015.
The municipal meeting started at 5 p.m., during which Republican Mayor Randy Brown was sworn in for his third term as mayor with his family by his side.
Also sworn in were Republican Councilman Steve Zeuli and Councilwoman Debbie Hackman, both of whom, along with Brown, won re-election in November, keeping the council entirely Republican.
At the council reorganization meeting, 2014 Deputy Mayor Ken D’Andrea nominated Councilman Bob DiEnna to the position of deputy mayor for 2015, keeping up the tradition of the position of deputy mayor annually rotating between members of the council.
DiEnna’s nomination received a unanimous vote from his fellow council members, and with his family by his side, DiEnna was sworn in to the position.
Across town at 7 p.m., the ETSD BOE meeting started, with Joe Fisicaro Jr. being nominated and sworn in for another term as board president. Fisicaro held the position throughout 2014.
Also sworn in at the meeting were board members JoAnne Harmon and Sandy Student, along with new board member Elaine Barbagiovanni.
Student, Harmon and Barbagiovanni were the three candidates with the largest percent of the vote of the five candidates who ran for the board in November.
Also approved at the council and BOE meetings were each body’s respective 2015 meeting schedule.
The next meeting of the Evesham Township Council will be held on Jan. 20 at the regular meeting place of Evesham Township Municipal Building, and the next meeting of the ETSD BOE will take place at the regular meeting place of DeMasi Middle School on Jan. 22.
