BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING

A regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of West Goshen Township was called to order by Chairman Dr. Robert S.
White at 4:01 p.m. on Wednesday, April 24, 2002, at the West Goshen Township Administration Building. All members were present. Dr. White opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag.
Dr. White opened the floor for public comment. No comments were made.
Dr. White commented that the Township is not advocating littering referring to one statement that appeared in the West Goshen Township Spring
Newsletter concerning cigarettes. He quoted the article as saying cigarettes should be extinguished before tossing them out a car window or on the ground. Sharon Lynn, Township Manager, said
the Township is not promoting littering and that the article was attempting to alert residents to the potentially hazardous situation for combustion of mulch and other dry substances during the drought
this area is currently experiencing.
Ms. Lynn announced that on Sunday, April 28, 2002 the 6th annual Run for Multiple Sclerosis sponsored by the Multiple Sclerosis Society will be held at the West Goshen Township Community Park starting at 10:00 a.m. She added that West Goshen Township resident, Michael Bannan, has been honored as the Multiple Sclerosis Father of the Year.
