Exeter Borough Council voted Monday to remove treasurer duties from the job description of borough Manager Kendra Radle, who is also a member of Luzerne County Council.
Borough solicitor Raymond Hassey said the move would eliminate any potential conflict between Radleâs roles with the county and the borough.
County Councilman Stephen J. Urban noted last week that state law prohibits an elected county official from serving as treasurer of a municipality.
Exeter council hired Radle as borough manager on Jan. 5. Until late last week, her job description was listed on the borough website as âManager-Secretary/Treasurer.â
Once the potential conflict came to light, Exeter officials decided it would be best to eliminate any reference to âtreasurerâ or âassistant treasurerâ in Radleâs job description, Hassey said near the start of the meeting, conducted remotely.
