As
chairman
of the board of supervisors I would like to welcome you to our
web site. As a life long resident, it is my great pleasure to
introduce
you to our community and our Township form of government. Township
government is the oldest form of government in the united
states dating back to the 17th century,
Jackson Township is run by a three-member board of supervisors
elected at large for a six year term. Years
ago,
Township supervisors were mainly in charge of maintaining
Township
roads and plowing snow in the winter. Today as the needs of
our
residence have grown, so has the role and responsibility of
Township
supervisors. From public safety to emergency services to
environmental
protection Township supervisors, assume an ever greater role
in
providing services to the citizens of Jackson Township. The
board
of supervisors serves as the legislative body, setting policy,
enacting ordinances, adopting budgets and levying taxes. The
board of
supervisors also performs the executive functions such as
enforcing
ordinances, approving expenditures and hiring employees. A
supervisor
may also serves on many committees within the community and
county to
better serve their community and residence. I
certainly hope this brief overview of how Jackson Township
works will make you feel right at home in Jackson
Township.
