Hi, Neighbors. We had our bi-annual “Reorganization Meeting” Monday night. That’s a fancy, government term for a meeting that is legally required by the First Class Township Code where we make appointments (or re-appointments) to certain positions. It’s largely a formality, but if the goal is for Aleppo residents to be better connected with your government, knowing what happened at this meeting is probably worthwhile. Most of what happened at our Reorganization Meeting was maintaining the status quo–we had very few changes.

If you want to watch the meeting from the beginning, click here. Otherwise, feel free to use the links below to jump to the portions of the meeting that are of particular interest to you.
