Miami Township announces the retirement of Public Works Director Daniel Mayberry after 31-years of service to our community. John Schweickart, also a longtime employee, becomes public works director effective June 7 as voted by the Board of Trustees.
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we thank Dan Mayberry for his years of selfless service to Miami Township. He has shown great leadership and we often receive compliments about the effectiveness of the Public Works Department. Dan has tough shoes to fill, but we are certain John Schweickart is up to the task,” Terry Posey, Jr., board president, said.
Mayberry started his township career in 1991 in the Parks Department, working his way up through the department until becoming the director of public works in 2006.
“It has been my honor to work for this community. I could not have done it without the dedication of a staff that works tirelessly to keep the township up and running,” said Dan Mayberry. “I have every confidence that John Schweickart will continue our dedication to keeping township services running smoothly and serving our citizens with prompt service.”
Schweickart started working for the township in 2007 as a vehicle maintenance mechanic and advanced to become fleet maintenance manager. He is ASE certified and is working toward a business management degree from Sinclair Community College. He is married to township police officer, Danielle Schweickart. They have one child.
“I hope to build on the department’s solid reputation in the community and demonstrate the quality leadership skills in which Dan managed this department,” Schweickart said. “Our staff sometimes work long hours to keep leaves collected in fall, streets plowed in winter, as well as other maintenance projects and infrastructure needs in the township. Keeping the vehicle fleet and township buildings in good working order leads to quality customer service and fiscal responsibility.”
The Miami Township Public Works Department consists of approximately 20 employees in four departments - roads, parks, fleet maintenance and facility maintenance.
The Board of Trustees made an additional administrative move at the June 7 meeting. Trustees named Alex Carlson as community development director. He began work for the township in 2017 as a planner. He holds a bachelor’s degree in city and regional planning from The Ohio State University. He is AICP certified through the American Institute of Certified Planners. Christopher Snyder remains the assistant township administrator.
