This Part is intended to implement the authorization set forth in Act 68 of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania approved October 31, 1985, and as amended March 30, 1988, P.L. 312, No. 41, December 20, 1991, P.L. 408, No. 49, and December 16, 1992, P.L. 1213, No. 157, amending § 515 of the Second Class Township Code (53 P.S. 65515) permitting Supervisors of Townships of the Second Class to be compensated for their services based upon a population scale. The Board of Supervisors of Dover Township finds that the population of the Township at the latest available official census (1990 U.S. Census) was 15,668; that the Township is steadily being developed and provides the average range of services to its residents; an efficient and effective administration of Township services requires the Supervisors to devote a substantial amount of time in performance of their official duties; and that it is in the interest of the Township that its Supervisors be compensated for their services commensurate with responsibilities as limited by law.
