After long months of speaking with the school administrators and advisors before introducing the measure, I introduced a resolution to establish a Junior Council Position at tonight's council meeting.

I am proud to report that Council member Anthony Weaver seconded my motion and the resolution passed, establishing the position.

Suitable candidates - High School Juniors or Sophomores living in McSherrystown (who will be a Junior or Senior in the 05-06 year) should submit a one page cover letter to the Borough Office by the end of this school year.

The most qualified candidate will be chosen by Borough Council and take office and sit on council beginning in September.

I will be notifying the schools about the passage of the resolution within the next few days.

I am proud of this.
