Transition Advisory Committee Meeting 9/3/2026

The Millcreek Township Transition Advisory Committee met on September 3, 2026, to discuss key administrative and governance issues related to the township's transition to a new form of government. A significant portion of the meeting focused on reviewing and recommending compensation levels for incoming council members, with a motion passed recommending the maximum allowable salary of $8,385 to the Board of Supervisors by a 4-3 vote. The committee also debated the inclusion of insurance benefits for council members, ultimately voting against providing such benefits due to potential fiscal impacts. Other procurement-related discussions included the potential hiring of external legal and professional services to review and assist with the draft administrative code, with a motion passed to request the Board of Supervisors secure legal review of the committee's comments and recommendations. The committee emphasized the need for public education about the new government structure and discussed the appointment and reappointment processes for township boards and commissions. Public comments highlighted concerns about transparency, local support for services, and the importance of recruiting qualified council members. The committee scheduled a special meeting for September 16 to further discuss the administrative code and continue transition planning.
