The municipal building

SANATOGA PA – The Civil Service Commission is an agency that’s usually little heard from in Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township, not because it’s unimportant but because much of its work attracts little resident attention. The commission deals primarily with personnel matters relating to public employees; the testing of police officers for promotion, for example.

At least once a year, though, the commission and other boards and agencies are forced into the spotlight by the process of reorganization, in which they must officially meet to choose leaders, seat new members, acknowledge meeting dates, and conduct other start-of-the-year business. Otherwise, commissioners meet only on an as-needed basis.

For commission members, that meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday (Jan. 3, 2012) at 5:15 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA … and it’s open to the public. An advertisement announcing the date was published Dec. 21 (2011) in The Pottstown Mercury newspaper, the township’s publication of record for legal notices.
