The Township is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners.  The Board’s chief responsibilities include supervising Township operations, establishing an annual budget, levying taxes, and passing necessary ordinances. The Board also appoints principal officials to run the day-to-day affairs of the Township as well as volunteer members to serve on the township’s advisory boards, commissions, and committees.   

The Board of Commissioners meets on the first Thursday of the month for its working session, and on the second Thursday of the month for its legislative session.  All meetings begin at 7:30 pm and are held in the upstairs meeting room of the Township Building, located at 214 Sykes Lane.  Meetings are open to the public.  Residents are welcome to speak during the Public Comment portion of the meetings, which is scheduled at the end of the agenda at working session meetings and at the beginning of the agenda at legislative session meetings. Residents are asked to limit their comments to no more than three minutes. 

As a rule, meetings are televised live on Nether Providence’s Cable Channel 10. Members of the Board of Commissioners are elected to four-year terms and receive $2600 in annual compensation.  If you wish to send your commissioner an email, just click on the link that appears under his or her name below.
