Anthony “Tony” Prudenti will remain chairman of the West Penn Township board of supervisors.

Prudenti resumed the role during Monday’s reorganization meeting, after a nomination by supervisor Kyle Kester and a second by incoming supervisor Tom Ackerman.

Kester was appointed as vice chairman and Ackerman will serve as supervisor at large.

Before the meeting began, Prudenti welcomed Ackerman, who won the seat in the November general election. Former supervisor Glenn Hummel did not seek reelection and was thanked for his service in December.

“We are very pleased to have him with us,” Prudenti said. “Tom, thank you so much.”

The board voted to hold morning meetings at 8:30 a.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at the township building with the exception of the May meeting, which will be held May 18 at the annex building. The evening meetings will be held at 6 p.m. on the first Monday of each month except for the September meeting, which will be held Sept. 8.

Supervisors were appointed to oversee a number of departments, with Prudenti as the head of administration; Ackerman leading the road department and Kester in charge of the police department.

For the township’s administration, Karen Wittig will return as treasurer, chief of pension administration and alternate Right-to-Know officer; and Katie Orlich will continue as township secretary, Right-to-Know officer and secretary of the planning department and property and maintenance department.
