Dear Mr. Hanna:
August 3, 1979
Advice Number 79 -506
I apologize for this late responses to your request
of February 22, 1979.
Section 420 of the Second Class Township Code states
that the Board of Supervisors shall elect one (1) elector of the
township as chairman of the Vacancy Board when the need to fill
a supervisory vacancy occurs. This Board has fifteen (15) days
to fill the job.
It is my understanding that the Vacancy Board citizen -
member receives no compensation.
I am enclosing; several opinions of the Commission which
I believe respond to this issue. One (1) of them points out that
public officials who serve without compensation except for reimburse-
ment of expenses are not covered by the Act. A number of there:
point out that a public official or public employee may participate
in contracts of their governmental body as long as the process is
open and public.
If you have questions or want an official opinion of
the Commission, please call me.
