Culp named to replace McGarrigle

MEDIA The Delaware County Council announced Monday that it had filled the seat left vacant when Chairman Tom McGarrigle was elected to the state Senate.

Michael Culp, a Republican from Springfield Township, will complete McGarrigle's term.

Culp, a lawyer, has served as a Springfield Township commissioner for three years. He is a member of the Delaware County Chester City Revitalization and Improvement Authority, and served on the county's Housing Authority.

Mario Civera Jr., a former state legislator in his second four-year term, was elected as chairman, and Colleen P. Morrone, who was elected to council in 2011, as vice chairman of the council to complete the reorganization. - Mari A. Schaefer
