How Board Meetings Work

The Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the Township.  The Board, organized under provisions outlined in the Second Class Township Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is comprised of three members who are elected to staggered, six-year terms in at-large elections.

The Supervisors are responsible for the overall governance of the township, in a manner that provides for adequate health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the community.  To accomplish this, the Board enacts laws, or Ordinances, that govern various activities in the Township.  In turn, the Second Class Township Code, and other laws of the Commonwealth, govern how the Board operates.  Laws, called are vested with the executive and legislative powers of the Township and are responsible for the annual budget.

The Board appoints a Township Manager who is charged by the Board with implementing the ordinances it passes and managing the annual budget of the Township which is adopted by the Board each December for the following calendar year.
