Their opinions are taken into consideration by the Board of Supervisors when official action must be taken to enact or amend ordinances, or approve land development plans. The commission members meet on the First Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm in the Union Township office. Meetings are open to the public. As with the Supervisors' meeting, all comments, suggestions, and ideas are welcome during the "public comment" portion of the meeting agenda. 2007 Planning Commission Members: Ruth Ann Hawkins Dave S- Advisor (Twp SEO) Fisher- Advisor (Twp Engineer) Paul B (Twp Solicitor)
