Columbia's once-beleaguered Market House now has a full slate of vendors with a waiting list. The property also boasts several events and private bookings per month, Chris Vera, market manager, told Borough Council.
Council members hired Vera, who runs the historic preservation society, as full-time venue manager. He started in July with total annual compensation of $73,622. CHI St. Joseph Children's Health previously managed the 94,000-square-foot building part time. Council members and residents discussed at the time whether the market house needed or could afford someone to run it full time.
The board voted 5-2 to appoint Christene Misciagna as a new school board member to fill Matthew Wardecker's unexpired term. Jason Price and Ryan Sexton voted against the appointment; Devon Fisher was absent. Misciagna was sworn in as a voting member of the board for the evening's proceedings. The vacancy resulted when Wardecker moved out of the district prior to the completion of his term ending Dec. 8 of this year.
Kirk Olivier, 20, of Columbia and Michael Whitt, 23, of York had preliminary arraignments in York County Court before Judge Barry L. Bloss, according to their dockets. A preliminary arraignment is when the charges are read before the defendant.
