South Heidelberg has a new township manager.

Supervisors voted 3-0 on Thursday night to hire Sean McKee to the township’s top administrative post. His salary is $83,000.

No further information about McKee was immediately available. Supervisor Richard Hummel, reached by phone, declined to comment. I could not reach the other two supervisors, Thomas Byrne and David Schaeffer.

The township’s 2016 budget is $3.5 million. The latest township manager, Ron Seaman, left the township Aug. 12 to be Berks County’s chief administrative officer.

Supervisor Richard Hummel said the week before the meeting Thursday that he had been happy with the process to select a new manager.

Office manager Shelly B. Keehn has managed operations since Seaman left.
