The purpose of this chapter is to enable the township to function under generally accepted principles of the Council-Manager form of government. The Board of Township Commissioners shall be responsible for appointing a professional Township Manager who shall be responsible, with the approval of, and under the direction of, the Board, for supervising and conducting the administrative affairs of the township in a nonpartisan manner. It is the intent of this chapter to retain in the Board all legislative powers, judicial powers and administrative powers and to authorize the Manager to exercise the duties granted to him or her, subject to the approval of the Board.
