Acting mayor picked
SEVEN FIELDS — Borough council Monday night appointed Victor Giannotta as acting mayor following the resignation last month of Ed Bayne.
Giannotta, who won the Republican primary for mayor in May, is expected to run unopposed in the November general election. If elected, he will assume a four-year term in January.
Giannotta will fill the remainder of Bayne's term, which expires at the end of December.
Bayne resigned last month in a letter to council, saying he was moving out of the area and unable to continue as mayor. He had been mayor since 2006.
Giannotta, who is the head coach of the Seneca Valley High School boys basketball team, said he's ready to serve in his new capacity in the community he has called home for nearly a decade.
“I'm excited to have the opportunity to help the people of Seven Fields,” he said.
The mayor's position is paid $1,200 annually.
