There are three times where there will be public comment at the meeting.

The first portion is for comment only on items on the agenda.

The second is a public hearing for the 2020 Budget for Fire District #2 (Adelphia). An additional $50,000 has been cut from the budget in meetings between the fire district and township officials.

The third area of public participation includes a public hearing for the adoption of ordinance O20-5, an Ordinance amending Chapter 139 Fees, Article XVII Land Use, Section 55, Annual Landlord Registration and Registration for Abandoned Residential Property. This ordinance allows an increase in fees charged for certain properties that are bank owned and ensure their maintenance and upkeep.

"To better organize Public input, we request that your comments and questions be separated into the respective category of 'General, Fire Budget, and Ordinance.' This will better allow us to read the comments into the record at the appropriate time during the meeting," the notice said.
