Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors Workshop 6/9/26

The Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors held a workshop meeting on June 9, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the approval of an employment agreement for the township manager, Mike Gossert. The agreement set his salary at $210,000 retroactive to March 1, 2026, with a six-month severance package in case of termination without cause. The board discussed the need for an assistant township manager position to support economic development and manage increasing township responsibilities, though budget considerations were raised. Additionally, the board adopted resolution 20-26-14 amending guidelines for public comment, removing a written comment provision to prevent potential misuse. Other topics included public concerns about the cancellation of community fireworks and stormwater fee collections, but no direct procurement contracts or capital projects were addressed. The meeting concluded with announcements about upcoming community events.
