ALL MEETINGS ARE HELD AT THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING – 773 PINE MOUNTAIN ROAD IN MCELHATTAN

Townships are governed by a board of three or five supervisors elected at large by the voters for a six-year term. Three-quarters of Pennsylvania’s township governing bodies have three members. Conversion to a five-member board requires the approval of the township’s electorate.

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 supervisor. From public safety to emergency services to environmental protection, these volunteer public servants 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 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.

 

Did you know?

McElhattan was the site of Fort Horn, home of the Fair Play Men, who formed their own temporary government in the 1700’s. The Fair Play Men signed a document called the Tiadaghton Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, but were not able to deliver it to King George III in time. They brought it back to the fort and buried it in a metal box. Though it has never been found, a monument to the fort stands there today.
