Commissioners Ring In New At Tonight’s Township Meet

Posted on 03 January 2012. Tags: ,

SANATOGA PA – On this, the third day of the new year (Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012), the Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township Board of Commissioners will welcome a new member, who’s also an old member; say goodbye to an old member, who’s expected become a new volunteer representative; and officially get under way with its business for 2012.

The township municipal building

The board conducts its annual reorganization meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, 2199 Buchert Rd., Pottstown PA. The meeting, open to the public, occurs a few days earlier than usual this month due to state laws that regulate reorganization which follows an election year, according to township Secretary Michele Cappelletti. A copy of the agenda is available for download from The Post’s Resources Page, here.

Reorganization is a process during which commissioners take their oaths of office, a president is elected or re-elected, and board committee chairmanships and assignments are announced. Members this year will witness the swearing-in of new commissioner Stephen Klotz, who previously served on the board, lost his seat in an earlier election, and then won it back in November (2011).

Relinquishing his seat to Klotz will be outgoing commissioner James Phillips, but his soon-to-be former colleagues apparently will ensure he stays active in township affairs.

A resolution on tonight’s agenda indicates Phillips will continue as a volunteer representative for Lower Pottsgrove with what is known as the regional MS4 Stormwater Coalition. He has several years of experience in dealing with state regulators on storm drainage issues, and board members say they want to keep him working on that and possibly other tasks to benefit township residents.

Also tonight, commissioners are expected to re-open a public hearing on the transfer of a liquor license from Norristown to the proposed Bella Italia restaurant on East High Street just west of North Pleasant View Road. It was delayed from December.
