The Salisbury Township Environmental Advisory Council reviewed a full agenda at its January meeting, including several upcoming events and the need to fill a vacancy.

The vacancy is the result of the resignation of longtime EAC member and vice chair Glenn Miller.

Miller’s resignation was announced at the Jan. 20 EAC meeting in the township municipal building.

Residents from Ward 4 who would like to be considered for the appointment were to download and complete an application form from the township website and mail it along with a resume to the attention of: Cathy Bonaskiewich, acting township manager, 2900 S.
