DALLAS BOROUGH — After nearly five years of serving as a borough administrative assistant, Karen Fiorello resigned, and a replacement was named at a council meeting Wednesday.
Ellen Federici will now assist Dallas Borough Manager Tracey Carr in helping residents who are seeking services or information from the municipal office.
