The meeting was conducted electronically via Zoom and chaired by Supervisor Jim Slezak. The session began with the approval of the agenda and several sets of previous meeting minutes from November 2020. The board reviewed the monthly treasurer's report and a significant period of expenditures.

A large portion of the meeting was dedicated to appointing members to various township boards and commissions, including the Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Fire Authority. The board also addressed regulatory requirements regarding pension/OPEB reporting and storm water management.
