The Senate unanimously passed a package of bills from the Local Government Commission and the Township Supervisors of Pennsylvania.
Senate Bill 1059 would amend the First Class Township Code to allow the board of commissioners to enter into an employment agreement with the township manager and the township manager would serve at the pleasure of the board. Senate Bills 1060, 1061, and 1062 provide the same language for the position in Second Class Townships, incorporated towns, and in boroughs (borough manager) respectively.
Senate Bill 1063 would give city council the power to create the position of city administrator or manager and appoint someone to serve in that position whenever a vacancy exists. The appointed city administrator or manager would not have to be a resident of the city if approved by city council.
There is potential for this package of bills to save local governments money by avoiding legal costs or paying for the length of a contract after the administrator has been removed.
The package of bills is now in the House.
