Something Abington Residents Should Know
-
where the "work" is
done on the issues in our Township
While most issues of government are approved at the Full Board
of Commissioners Meetings held monthly, (generally on the
1st Thursday) , the work on any of
these issues is most often delegated to a Committee or
Council. It is in these meetings that the discussions are held
and the input by citizens is most effective. The Committee or
Council then makes itsrecommendations to the full Board of Commissioners
who exercise final approvals.
Because this is the process, citizens have been trying to get
the Township WORKING meetings filmed and aired on Comcast
Channel 43, our Public Access, Government and Education Channel.
Those who are interested in joining this effort, or learning
more about it should click on
Channel 43.
Agendas for these meetings are found by clicking on
Boards &
Commissions on the Township site . You will find
separate choices for
Committee meeting agendas and for Board of Commissioners Meeting
agendas.
