Henry Clay supervisors remove Stephen Humbert as chair, name Robert Anderson

The presiding officer opened the reorganizational session and asked for a motion "to rescind the appointment of Stephen Humbert as chairman of the Henry Clay township board of supervisors." The board moved, seconded and then voted; the presiding officer announced that the motion carried unanimously.

Following that action, a motion was made to appoint Robert Anderson as chairman. The motion was seconded and approved; the presiding officer announced the motion "carries unanimously." The board then proceeded through several additional reorganizational appointments and confirmations.

Why it matters: The chair position is the chief presiding role for the township supervisors and the change reshuffles leadership amid a series of reorganizational votes and public concerns aired at the meeting. The board also followed with motions to confirm a vice chair, secretary and other officers before adjourning the reorganizational session.
