LANCASTER TWP — Lancaster Township supervisors heard an update Monday from its interim management team and police sergeant about suggestions regarding administrative and infrastructure improvements made by Strategic Solutions.

Interim manager John Trant and interim secretary-treasurer Chelsea Puff told the board about their search for a new, permanent manager, while officer-in-charge Sgt. Michael Cornell updated supervisors as to how the police department would implement and prioritize suggestions offered in June by its interim management team.

As supervisors approved a job posting for a permanent manager last month, Puff updated the board on how many applications they'd received. According to Puff, the township has thus far received four applications, all from individuals who fully meet the qualifications for the position, which offers pay between $55,000 and $70,000 plus benefits for someone with a bachelor's degree, three to five years of work experience and direct experience with municipal budgeting and administration.The posting closes July 28.<b> A portion of this story is shared with you as a digital media exclusive.
