Newtown Boro Looking To Fill Perry Warren's Council Seat: Report

With Newtown Borough Councilman Perry Warren winning his bid for state Rep. Steve Santarsiero's seat in the state's 31st District, the borough is looking for willing and able residents to apply for Warren's soon-to-be-vacant seat on the council.

According to the borough's website, qualifications that must be met to serve as a borough councilor are:

• You must be a registered voter.
• You must be a resident of the borough.
• Councilors must have resided in the borough continuously for at least one year.
• To qualify as a voter, a person must be eighteen years of age and a resident of the election district. A person whose name appears on the district voting register but who is no longer a resident of the borough is not a lawfully registered elector.
• You must be able to serve through the end of December 2017.

Those interested in applying should submit their resumes to Judy Musto, borough secretary, 23 N. State St. Newtown, PA 18940, or email them to jmusto.newtown@gmail.com.

Warren has served as a Newtown Borough Councilman since 2009 and the Bucks County Courier Times reports his term is set to expire at the end of 2017.

The Times also reports Warren will resign from the council to assume his position in the state legislature, but when he will resign is unknown.

When Warren resigns, the council will have 30 days to fill his seat, the Times reports.
