 | | Chairman | Vice Chairman | Board Member | Ronald A. Walbert | Glen R. Hahn | Jesse Mendez | The Board of Supervisors monthly meeting is held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the Township Municipal Building located at 595 Hahns Dairy Road in Palmerton Pennsylvania. The Supervisors invite you to attend these meetings and appreciate any concerns or comments you may have regarding Township matters. The board of supervisors plays the central role in township government. Article 15 of the Second Class Township Code places general supervision of the affairs of the township in the hands of the board of supervisors. Supervisors combine many of the roles found in separate branches or levels of the state and federal governments. The board serves as the legislative body of the township, setting policy, enacting ordinances and resolutions, adopting budgets and levying taxes. Since there is no separately elected executive, the board also performs executive functions such as formulating the budget, enforcing ordinances, approving expenditures and hiring employees. Although some townships have hired managers, and most use the township secretary for general administrative purposes, supervisors play a large role in administrative activities, overseeing the day-to-day operation of township government.
