Ross commissioners tapped two former elected officials to fill a vacant board seat and the newly-created position as assistant township manager.
The township received applications to fill the Ward 2 seat vacated last month by Steve Korbel from two residents Chris Rand Eyster, who works as a criminal defense attorney and previously served as a commissioner; and Matthew DeReno, a technical writer who founded the Across Ross social media page.
Eyster was appointed to fill the post by a unanimous vote and was sworn in by West View District Judge Richard Opiela during the Feb. 1 virtual meeting. Eyster will complete the remainder of Korbel’s term, which runs through 2022.
