Gregory Sahd is Columbia's new Borough Manager

At its November 17 meeting, Columbia Borough Council approved the hiring of Gregory Sahd as Columbia Borough Manager and Secretary/Treasurer at a starting salary of $70,000 along with a standard benefits package. Start date will be two to four weeks from November 16, contingent upon successful completion of all pre- and post-employment testing.

Sahd was chosen from among five candidates for the position. He is a former investment banker and financial consultant and advisor, and eventually became vice president for government banking at Susquehanna Bank before retiring in 2010.

Sahd was county treasurer from 1996 through 2004, and was a congressional aide to then-U.S. Rep. Robert S. Walker. He was also deputy court administrator of Lancaster County and served on the county’s Government Study Commission and has worked on numerous political campaigns over the last four decades.

Budget meeting tonight

Budget meeting tonight to finalize the 2016 budget, 6 p.m., 308 Locust Street.

Leaf collection – Double duty

Both leaf collectors were running today. Collection times will ordinarily be the same as the posted times for street cleaning.

Remember: Do not burn leaves. Doing so is against borough ordinance.

A resident was burning a pile of leaves in her backyard this afternoon until Columbia Spy intervened and she “outened” the fire with a garden hose.

Back where they belong

Last night, the signs on Route 441, near the overpass at Route 30, looked like this (above).

But this afternoon, workers turned them back to their original positions and secured them there (below).

What's up with 441?

Judging from the fact that the traffic lights at Front and Walnut are still covered, it does not look as if the Route 441 bypass will be open tomorrow as expected. PennDOT and Norfolk Southern are reportedly having issues with synchronizing the lights.

Speaking of 441, what’s up with the signs near the overpass at Route 30?
