Ten prospects for the position of North East Borough Mayor are scheduled to speak at Monday’s council meeting.
The individuals are:
- Steve Gregory
- Shawn Hubbard
- Tony Montefiori
- Bobbi Jo Morey
- Katie Phillips
- Joseph Schneider
- Robert Shaffer
- Michael Spellman
- Jeff Stritzinger
- Aaron Tyson
A discussion and selection of both the new Vacancy Board Chairman and the new mayor is set to take place later in the meeting.
Council Meeting Agenda 12-4-23
UPDATE: After a question in the comments about what the duties of the mayor are, I found the PA statute that applies:
Title 8 – PA General Assembly – Chapter 10A
Lynda Williams says
Hi Paul, are the Mayor’s responsibilities listed anyplace?
Paul Crowe says
That’s an excellent question and I thought I’d look for an answer because I didn’t know either. Here’s what I found:
Title 8 – PA General Assembly – Chapter 10A
It contains these sections:
10A01. Eligibility of mayor.
10A02. Incompatible offices.
10A03. Oath of mayor.
10A04. Salary of mayor.
10A05. Salaried mayor not to receive certain fees.
10A06. General powers of mayor.
10A07. Duties of mayor.
10A08. President or vice president of council to act as mayor.
It’s an interesting document and I’d guess something very few have ever read. Thanks for asking.

NOT VERY GOOD CHOICES ON THE LIST..
Paul Crowe says
Everyone who met the qualifications outlined in the public notice had an opportunity to send in a letter of interest. Those individuals did. Perhaps you should have sent one in if you considered yourself qualified.
Glenn Craig says
Interesting.
