Millvale Council will be naming a new president before filling a vacancy.
Council President James Machajewski is stepping down as council president in August before resigning in September, borough Manager Seth Abrams said.
Machajewski is doing that because he and his wife will be moving to Shaler, Abrams said.
Machajewski confirmed his plans.
“Making this change, at this time, allows for me to help make a smooth transition for Millvale’s future council president,” he said. “It also allows them to be more acclimated in that new position before the budget season begins and any year-end activities come around.”
September will mark 17 years since Machajewski joined council. After running in the May 2009 primary, he was appointed to fill a vacancy in September of that year, before the November 2009 election. He has been president of council since February 2013.
Council will hold a special reorganization meeting to elect a new council president when it meets at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, in council chambers, 501 Lincoln Ave.
The meeting will be open to the public.
