A regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of West Goshen Township was called to order by Chairman Patricia B.

Ms. McIlvaine opened the floor for public comment.

Mrs. Evelyn Baker, 900 Sheridan Drive, questioned the change in the Township Building business hours and days without a vote by the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Casey LaLonde, Township Manager, explained that it was an administrative change made by him. He added that the number of hours the building is open has been increased. Ms. McIlvaine stated that the change is intended to save money on energy costs and Mr. Casey added that the Township expects a 30% increase on such costs after December 31, 2010 because of the expiration of price caps on PECO.
