Right way to run a meeting
So we owe it to Hanover Township supervisors to salute them for how they include the public in their meetings, no matter how routine a decision may be.
Supervisors Chairman Donald Winkler, in keeping with Robert's Rules of Order, asks for a first and then a second on each motion before opening the agenda items for discussion.
This is the way it's done in most municipalities, but these discussions almost always are limited to board members. Not in Hanover.

While this order of business makes for a long meeting, the residents can't compain that their concerns aren't being heard at town hall.
Public Comment : 7/14/2008
A properly run comment period for agenda items gives the public ample opportunity for input. Long meetings keep the public away and discourage input.
