How to Write to Township Supervisors
Introduction
Township government, practiced in only about ten states, is a very local form of government. A board of supervisors meets monthly to address all kinds of questions on township ordinances and administration. From time to time, a homeowner or resident may want to send a letter to the board, either to inform them of an issue, put in a request or make them aware of something they want to be used in a public meeting.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Steps
1
Step One
Learn the relevant names. Find out who the township supervisors are, and who is the chair. Find out who the township secretary or manager is.
2
Step Two
Write your letter with attention to tone. It should sound professional, almost legal. With some exceptions, the meetings of township supervisors are pretty formal.
3
Step Three
Include any relevant documents. If the letter is in answer to a letter from the township, or from the board of supervisors, they may have requested documentation. Be sure whatever you send is in the right format, and notarized if necessary.
4
Step Four
Address the envelope to the township secretary or manager. They will be handling your letter. However, it is good to include each of the supervisors names on the address of the letter itself. The secretary or manager will probably make copies and hand them out.
5
Step Five
Get the address of the township municipal building. It is usually available online or in the phone book, but you may have to call.
Tips & Warnings
- Make your letter relevant. Think about what kind of statement will reach a group of professional administrators.
- Don't include statements that will offend. Anything that will inflame readers should be left out. The letter may get handed around at meetings or somehow transferred to other readers.
