And The New Interim Ward Three Commissioner Is... UPDATED

It isn't either current candidate. It is looking like Coleen Vuono because she was a former commissioner.

The decision will be made at the end of the meeting.

The new commissioner for Ward 3 is Coleen Vuono. The vote was unanimous.

April 28, 2015 3:10 PM Mt. Lebanon appoints former commissioner to fill opening 

May 1, 2015 6:43 AM Former commissioner appointed to Mt. Lebanon commission
"Ms. Vuono’s prior experience as commissioner was cited as a factor in her selection, as is her service on the municipal planning board, to which she was appointed in September* to fill a vacancy."

“Basically, I feel the role of a commissioner is, to a great part, to educate people,” Ms. Vuono said during her interview, explaining that she strove to keep residents informed during her first tenure.
“When I was a commissioner then, I started a newsletter and, at my own expense, I would send it out twice a year to the people in my ward,” she said. “I felt it was important for me to directly communicate with them. I was their first level of government, as their local commissioner.”

 *Ms. Vuono was appointed to the Planning Board in November, not September.

Who will be selected?

During tomorrow's Commission Discussion Session,

A. Interviews with Ward 3 applicants:

6:05 p.m. Elaine Gillen 

6:15 p.m. James Cannon 

6:25 p.m. ____________ 

6:35 p.m. Edward Goslin 

6:45 p.m. Coleen Vuono 

6:55 p.m. Andrew Reinhart 

7:05 p.m. Steve McLean 

7:15 p.m. Raymond Pan 

7:25 p.m. _____________ 

B. Discussion regarding applications

I should have mentioned that the evening will start with ten minutes given to our deer doctor, Sandy Baker. Yes. Ten. Minutes. 

OK, getting back to the applicants. I'm up first. I have a better shot at winning the lottery. James Cannon is Josephine Posti and Jim Cannon's father. I don't know Edward Goslin. At 6:45, former (D) Commissionette and Pro Kill Coleen Vuono. 6:55's Andrew Reinhart is the Democratic hopeful running for Ward 3, while Steve McLean at 7:05 is running on the Republican ticket for Ward 3. I don't know Raymond Pan. 6:25 and 7:25 backed out. I don't know who they were.

My guess is that the new Commissioner for Ward 3 will be Democrat Andrew Reinhart. You heard it here first.
