ELECTED OFFICIALS
In 1933 Pennsylvania enacted the Second Class
Township Code which sets forth the general and corporate powers of the
township and the manner in which the supervisors will exercise these
powers. Second Class Townships are prohibited from exercising any
powers not specifically authorized in the Code. Second Class
Township's have populations of less then three hundred people per
square mile, which classifies East Bradford Township as a Second Class
Township.
The voting public elects three supervisors and
three auditors, each to a six -year term of office and one tax
collector to a four-year term of office, all must be residents of the
township.
The Board of Supervisors must meet the first Monday
in January (unless that date is a legal holiday, then they meet the
first Tuesday) to organize the Township. At this meeting they must
organize as a board by electing one of their members as chairman and
another as vice-chairman. The Board will also appoint a treasurer and
secretary. At this meeting they also appoint new members and fill
vacancies to the different boards and commissions of the Township.
Starting in 2000 the township hired a certified
public accountant to do the yearly audit of the township financial
records. Prior to this the elected auditors of the township did the
annual audit. The elected auditors will continue to hold their
position within the township, their only job being to determine the
compensation for supervisors employed by the township as regular
employees. Currently the township employs none of the supervisors. The
annual audit is available at the township building for review each
year after March 1st.
