MILFORD, Del. – Four members of the Milford City Council were sworn in Monday at City Hall. The ceremony was led by Judge Noel Eason Primos of Delaware Superior Court, who administered the oaths to incumbents Daniel Marabello of Ward 1, Nadia Zychal of Ward 2, and Vice Mayor Jason James Sr. of Ward 4, as well as newcomer Councilman Danny Perez. Each of the newly sworn-in members began two-year terms that evening, following an uncontested election on April 26.
Since only one candidate ran for each available seat, there was no need for a public vote. In other actions, the council agreed to allow Vice Mayor James to continue in his leadership role. Additionally, the council decided that city solicitor David Rutt, who did not seek reappointment for another term, will serve as interim solicitor until a permanent replacement is found. The council also made committee assignments for its members.
The Economic Development & Code Enforcement committee will be chaired by D. Madula Kalesis of Ward 1. The Public Safety committee will be chaired by Katrina Wilson of Ward 4, and Vice Mayor James will chair the Finance & Audit committee. Other committee assignments include Public Works & Utilities and the Charter Review Subcommittee.
