Board of Supervisors

Board Information and  Responsibilities

The Board meets the second Monday of the month at 6:30 pm at the Township Building at 73 S. Zinns Mill Road. 

The township is governed by three elected supervisors. Supervisors are elected from the Township to a six year term. The Board of Supervisors appoints the members of the various advisory boards.

A board of supervisors is the primary elected governing body for counties or townships. Acting as a combination of a city council and a business manager, they oversee public services, manage budgets, enact local laws, and address community issues like zoning and public health. 

They create and pass local ordinances, resolutions, and policies to protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents.

• Executive Duties: They propose and approve the annual budget, set local tax rates, and appoint key township officials. They also oversee major public services like road maintenance, parks, and libraries.
• Legislative Duties: They create and pass local ordinances, resolutions, and policies to protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents.
• Quasi-Judicial Duties: They hear public appeals and make final decisions on land use, zoning changes, and disposition of claims made against the township.
