Board of Supervisors

The Board of Supervisors serves as the Township's legislative body, setting policy, enacting local ordinances, adopting budgets, and levying taxes. Because there is no separately elected executive, except in some home rule townships, the Board also performs the executive functions, such as enforcing ordinances, approving expenditures, and hiring employees.

Years ago supervisors were mainly in charge of maintaining roads and bridges and plowing snow in the winter. Today, as the needs of Township residents have grown, so has the role of Township supervisors. From public safety to emergency services to environmental protection, they assume an ever-greater role in providing services and facilities to respond to their citizens' needs and, especially, to meet the demands of a constantly increasing array of State and Federal mandates.

The Board is the governing body for the Township and is comprised of five members elected to staggered six-year terms.

The current Board members are:

James Fahr , Chairperson
