Board of Supervisors
The township code and other state legislation also permit the
Board of Supervisors to enlist the capabilities of its citizenry
through formation of authorities, boards and commissions.
Such bodies allow the governing body to draw upon citizens with
particular expertise and to directly involve citizens in their government.
Some of the more common authorities, boards, and commissions operating
in Second Class Townships are water and sewer authorities, planning
commissions, park and recreation boards, zoning hearing boards,
shade tree commissions, and boards of health.
SUMMARY:
Local government increases in complexity with each passing day. Citizens
expect effective and efficient services, and federal and state governments
are placing ever more responsibility at the local level. The
successful operation of a township, borough, town, or city requires
the time and effort of many people.
To better explain its complex governmental functions Lower Paxton
Township offers several educational and informational services.
These services range from televised meetings of
the Board of Supervisors; distribution of a newsletter; and, of course, this web site.
