Edgmont Township Municipal Services

Edgmont Township is governed by the Second Class Township Code, which provides the framework for how the Township must legally operate. Township administrative staff work diligently to deliver governmental services to residents and ensure the continuity of those services. The Board of Supervisors has appointed a Township Manager, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer. The Manager oversees the day-to-day operations of the Township and is responsible for all staff, departments, and activities.

The Township's organizational structure includes specialized departments led by experienced career professionals, selected based on their qualifications, educational background, and ability to fulfill their responsibilities. These departments provide a wide range of services to residents, businesses, contractors, and all other entities requiring assistance.

The Administrative Department is a team of highly qualified professionals responsible for the proper and efficient management of the Township's day-to-day operations, as well as a variety of executive and administrative duties. The department also provides technical assistance to the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission in the preparation and enforcement of the Township’s Subdivision and Land Development Code, Zoning Code, and other related codes.

The Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the Township. Organized under the provisions outlined in the Second Class Township Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Board is composed of three members who are elected to staggered six-year terms, in at-large elections. The Supervisors are responsible for the overall governance of the Township in a manner that ensures the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. To achieve this, the Board enacts ordinances (laws), that regulate various activities within the Township. In turn, the Second Class Township Code and other laws of the Commonwealth govern how the Board operates. The Board of Supervisors hold monthly meetings to conduct Township business; these meetings are open to the public.
