Eldred Township is a Second Class Township in Pennsylvania governed by a three member Board of Elected Supervisors. Board members are elected to six year terms on a rotating basis. This helps avoid a complete membership turnover and adds continuity of leadership.
Other than the Chairperson being responsible for running the Board meetings, all Board members have the same responsibilities and voting powers. The primary role of the Board is to budget and legislate. Each year the Board must approve a budget and determine any fees or taxes to support the approved budget.
In addition to the Budget, the Board's other primary function is to enact legislation. The Township laws are known as Ordinances and must go through a formal adoption process. Each ordinance or changes to an ordinance must be presented to the Board and be approved for advertisement. The Board must conduct a public hearing on any ordinances before it may be voted on for approval.
