The 7-member Planning Commission is 6 Township residents who volunteer to be appointed to a 3 year term plus one member of the Board of Trustees appointed by a Board vote. They are paid $70 per meeting with an extra $10 for the Chairperson. To volunteer for burning the midnight oil reviewing plans and consultant reports and ignoring your spouse, fill out an application available on the Township Website here:
