Slippery Rock Council appoints new member, grants hotel tax break
SLIPPERY ROCK — Borough Council voted Tuesday to appoint John Hicks to fill the available seat on council, a two-year term ending in 2024.
Hicks said at a previous meeting that he has been part of the Slippery Rock community for decades, working at both the high school and college. He said he hopes to give back to the community.
“I’m happy to be here,” Hicks said at Tuesday’s meeting.
The seat was open because the winner of the Nov. 2 election moved out of the borough prior to election day but was not removed from the ballot. Council officially declared the seat vacant Jan. 11 and immediately began accepting letters of interest.
