Dykoff to be Sworn in as Mayor at Sunday's Reorganization Meeting

Deputy Mayor Mark Dykoff will be sworn in as mayor at the township’s Annual Reorganization Meeting on Sunday, Jan. 1 at noon.

Quinn has served on the governing body for eight years and has served four separate terms as mayor.

“It has been a long two years,” Quinn said at his last committee meeting on Dec. 22. “But it certainly has been an honor to sit here in this seat and represent not only the people but the individuals sitting up here.”

Dykoff will be taking on the role during a re-election year as Quinn and his terms both end Dec. 31, 2012.

The meeting will also include the swearing in of Committeeman-elect David Most.

The power will remain in the hands of the Republicans as with 55.64 percent of the votes.

Most, whose term was up Dec. 31, 2011, was on the Republican ticket while Democratic Newcomer Gary Vaccaro also vied for the one open seat.

The committee has been maintained by a Republican majority for more than a decade.

Appointments will also be made at the reorganization meeting for township attorney, engineer, prosecutor, auditor and other positions and committees.
